Growing up surrounded by nature, I learned from a young age to love and care for all kinds of animals. Dogs have always been my favorite, and being around them has always felt natural to me. When I was 14, my parents and I rescued a dog from a shelter, and he quickly became my life companion for the years that followed. This experience deepened my love for dogs and taught me just how special the bond between a person and a dog can be. During my years in San Diego, California, I also volunteered at a rescue center, where every weekend I spent time with dogs of all sizes, ages, and backgrounds, from very social and playful dogs to the shyest and most cautious ones. I learned that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I found gaining the trust of a shy or nervous dog to be one of the most rewarding feelings. Their loyalty and unconditional love are truly something special. For the past three years, I've been looking after pets and have cared for more than 50 dogs. I really enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, or simply relaxing and getting cuddles, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need. I know it can be hard to leave your pet with someone else, so I'll treat them with the same care, patience, and love I would give my own. Due to my rental contract, I’m not able to have dogs at my place at the moment. However, I’m more than happy to walk dogs of all ages and sizes. My services include walks, including walks longer than 30 minutes if necessary, playtime, and feeding. I normally walk dogs around town, at the major parks in the area, and in quieter areas, depending on what your dog enjoys and feels most comfortable with. I’m available for both home visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also flexible with the length of home visits, ranging from 30 minutes to as long as needed, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’m available every day, with the most flexibility on weekends. I want you to feel reassured while you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated on your pet’s wellbeing throughout my visits. I’m happy to send regular text updates, as well as pictures and videos, so you can see how your furry friend is doing and know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.
