Hey!
My name is Carolina, I am originally Brazilian and moved to the Netherlands about 5 years ago for my studies and stayed for work. I am super passionate about dogs, and have been since I was a child. My parents helped me realise my dream of having a pet at the age of 10, when we got a Maltese named Linda. Linda moved around Brazil and Colombia with us, and a few years later, we added a Maltese mix named Sherlock to the family. Both have been wonderful companions, having very different (and sweet) personalities, and they deepened my love and understanding of dogs even more.Â
A few years ago, my family adopted my soul dog, Pepita, who had deep-rooted fear issues with people and (to a lesser extent) other dogs. Pepita is the most lovable, funny, and sweet pet I’ve ever known, and I wanted to help her live a less stressful life. So, what was a passion became a core aspect of my life!
Through a lot of research and trial and error, I learned a lot about dog behavior, body language, positive reinforcement training, socialization, and simply respecting her boundaries. I’m happy to say that Pepita is now a much happier dog!Â
Since moving away to the Netherlands, I have really missed having a dog to share life with. Unfortunately I'm currently not able to own a dog full time, so I want to take any opportunity I can to spend time with dogs. So being able to take care of your pet would make me very happy :)
I currently live with my boyfriend, who has also been around dogs since he was a child and loves them. We both have flexible work from home schedules and I also have a pet friendly office (should you be ok with that). We live in a 40m2 apartment in the Lelylaan area, with plenty of green spots to walk your dog. Together, we can provide your pet a loving and safe environment while you are away. Rest assured they will be in good hands :)Â
I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!
I couldn’t recommend Carolina more!! She took such fantastic care of my two dogs while I was away for a week, even very kindly taking one for a late evening vet visit when she needed it (through no fault of Carolina’s). Carolina kept us up to date with photos and video every day, which we really appreciated. Definitely book with Carolina!!
My wife and I had some trust issues regarding our dogs staying with others. They are very friendly and need not much care, but they are needy and attention is all they want. Carolina was incredibly careful, sent pictures of the dogs every time they were doing something new even without us requesting (which was great because we dont like to bother) and communicated everything with extra care. We really hope to have her with the dogs again! They loved her and her partner!
