About Vilma & Tatu

Hello! Nice to e-meet you. We are Tatu and Vilma, 24 years old Finnish couple living and studying in Rotterdam. We would love to have our own pet one day, but our life situation with relocating to Rotterdam and having to travel somewhat fequently, isn't allowing it just yet. That is why we would love to take your pet for a walk or even for a few nights if neccessary!

US & PETS

We have both grown up with animals and especially with dogs. We're both experienced with small dogs as Tatu has had in total of three lovely Australian Terriers from 2004 until this date. Vilma is also familiar with smaller dogs, as her family had a Jack Russel Terrier until last year. Vilma is experienced with a reactive/sensitive dog, with separation anxiety, and epilepsy. Tatu has experience with diabetes on dogs. Although we have had only small dogs as family dogs, we both have interracted/ taken care of bigger dogs as well.

As for other pets, Vilma has had several gerbiles when she was younger and has also been aroud cats all her life. 

MORE ABOUT US

We are both very active individuals and love the outdoors! This is why we would be more than happy to take dogs also for longer walks. We also love to cook and watch movies together. As we have different schedules during daytime, almost always either of us is at home and ready to hang out, especially with a pet.

HOME, SURROUNDINGS AND SERVICES

Our home is around 50+ square meters with two rooms, with space for your pet(s). The apartment also has a elevator, so stairs are not a problem. We have a park with a separate dog park 150 meters away from our apartment. We would love to go and play to the park and the surrounding areas, which are well suitable for dogs! Our schedule is mostly free, and we can do walks on a flexible schedule. We are also available for your pet to stay the night.

Lovely couple. There was a thorough introduction procedure before our dogs stayed for over for a few nights. They can and can be quite anxious but Vilma and Tatu handled them very well and took great care of them. Recommended.

Really great couple!

We've started with a GTKY walk, followed by a weekend stay. Vilma and Tatu have great energy which definitely helps around dogs (even a big anxious ones). They understand dog's needs and communication with them. Plus we've got some pictures from the stay ;) Definitely will be coming back:)

Familiar with dog training techniques
We both have mediocre training skills meaning, leash training, dealing with a dog and a small child (Tatu’s niece), basic tricks such as sit, down, paw, hold etc. Also, we have interracted a great deal with a variety of rescue dogs and following from that, investigated the field since we would also want to rescue a dog one day. Vilma is also a donor to a Balkan & Finland based rescue dog facility called Balkanin koirat. Behavioural problems are mostly Vilma’s expertice from us since she had a hyper active, yet nervous dog that later on was found out to be also epileptic. This is why she is experienced with more nervous dogs that need a calm yet firm guidance, as well as the superior activity that terriers have and the ways for taiming it from time to time (sniffing and other brain activity), awareness of importance of playtime & consistency in those.
