I'm an animal enthusiast with plenty of experience in dog-sitting and ready to provide the best care for your pup. I offer home-boarding service, which includes at least 2 long walks per day (and several shorter ones), playtime, and lots of cuddles. I practice positive reinforcement training techniques, though I do not shed away from appropriate corrections when they are needed. I'm aware that besides lots of love and pampering dogs also require discipline and rules. I will take care of your pup as if it was my own. I live in an apartment with a big balcony, so your dog will have enougth space to move around. Moreover, there is plenty of green areas and footpaths in the area, which is great for long walks.

Additionally, I can provide the following grooming services for your dog:

• bathing;
• brushing;
• nail trimming;
• teeth cleaning;
• ear cleaning.

More about me: I'm 30, Lithuanian, researcher. Currently I'm pursuing a PhD degree in sociology, but my life also spins around animals. Due to a lot of traveling I can't afford having my own dog full-time, however, I can’t imagine my life without dogs. Thus, I'm eager to help others with their dogs. I'm really passionate about dogs - I've attended dog training lessons, I'm reading books on dog behavior, and in general I'm passionate about animal welfare. I've volunteered in an animal shelter in Lithuania, so I have experience with various kinds of dogs (ranging from well trained to problematic ones). And I've already dog-sited almost a dozen of different dogs (even before joining this website), even though this is just my side-job/hobby.
