Pola

Hi!

My name is Pola and I am an experienced dog-walker and sitter with previous experience.

About me: my entire life I have been around some kind of animal. I grew up along our family dog, a golden retriever Cheddar, and was a competitive horse rider until the age of 17. Because of that, every and any interaction with an animal brings me a lot of joy and awakens a familiar, warm feeling:)

Before moving to the Netherlands for my studies, I spent a few months as an assistant to an experienced dog sitter and trainer. Following her process with different dogs, I got to learn a lot more about pet communication and behavior. Since then, I gained a lot of confidence as a walker and sitter, having had the possibility to interact with a lot of different dog personalities, including anxious or high-energy working dogs. Because as a student I am not in a position to have a dog of my own, I decided to use that knowledge and confidence to start providing pet-care services and have been doing so for around a year now.

My services include dog walking, petsitting, dog boarding and home visits, including long-term stays. I also offer enrichment-focused walks, suitable for high-energy dogs, in which I make sure to offer your pet mental stimulation, encourage them to think and explore, and assure all of their excess energy can find a good, healthy way out:)

Please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you might have. I am open to different kind of services and will be happy to hear more about you and your dogs needs. I'm very flexible, so I'm sure we can find a way to give your pet a comfortable, fun experience.

Please note: I do not accept jobs with dogs with serious behavioral problems or aggressive tendencies.
