Hi there!

I'm a 21-year-old student, although first and foremost a dog enthusiast. I've taken care of animals during my entire childhood, from watching over a bird that fell from a nest until it recovered, to petsitting a friend's rabbit for weeks during vacation. I've overall mainly have cared for dogs and cats. I'll be the first asking a friend with a dog to bring him along in our next adventure.

A few summers ago I volunteered in a dog hotel/shelter/training center in Germany for 2 weeks. It was a rich experience which allowed me to expand my knowledge on basic dog care, training and matters of hygiene regarding pets. There I walked all the dogs twice a day, cleaned their rooms thoroughly, fed them individually, and gave them medical treatments when necessary. The owners of the facility also trained dogs, notably police dogs, while keeping them over a period of a few weeks to months. I was able to attend some training sessions in which I learned a lot about ethology, specifically training methods based on positive reinforcement.

As an adventure seeker, I've always enjoyed spending time in nature. I love spending time outside with animals, from simple short daily walks to longer occasional hikes allowing us to discover new places.

I would be thrilled to take your dog, regularly or occasionally, out on a fun walk!

I am available all day on weekends, and around lunchtime and the afternoon during the week. Walks can range from 20-45min based on your preference. I can home sit for a night, or a longer time-span during holiday periods.

Have a fantastic day :)
