I am Chrysa, I'm 26 and I am originally from Greece. I moved to Amsterdam in 2019 and I am working as a Software Engineer. 

I had originally moved here for an internship but I fell in love with the city so I decided to stay, and the number one thing that made me love Amsterdam so much was all the parks and the people in them! I loved that I could just go and sit at a park for hours and pet so many dogs and meet so many people (usually dog owners) almost every day.

Since I still move around a lot and I still rent wherever I go, it is hard for me to get my own dog yet, even though I am planning to as soon as I settle down to a house with a nice backyard! My love for dogs is still there though, so I decided to do some pet sitting for any dog who would want me 😅

I have never had my own dog yet, but my dad has had many hound dogs as I was growing up, which I have helped train over the years, and I have spent quite some time dog sitting my friends' dogs (some of them you can see in my pictures). I am patient and loving, and also very active so I definitely don't mind spending a weekend with a dog who LOVES the park. I also don't mind cuddling with them in my bed or on my couch while I'm reading or watching a show if they're in the mood for a relaxing day 😴 

Since I am not a super experienced dog owner/sitter, I would prefer well trained dogs that I can manage, in order for them to be safe and feel comfortable. I would also like to meet the dog (and their owner) beforehand and try to spend some time with them to make sure we are all happy, comfortable and we all like each other's smell 😆
