About me:

Even in my earliest memories there's an animal as a member of my family. When I was 4 y/o it was me, my parents, brother and sister and Pancho (a huge Irish Setter) living together in Montevideo, Uruguay. Then we moved to a house on the beach and introduced Marilyn (a Chihuahua) to the equation. We had plenty of cats since then, and now we're down to 2 gorgeous ladies (Grace & Marlene). I became a vegetarian when I was 17 because of my love for all animals, and I'm proud to say for me it's not just a diet but a lifestyle.

About my place:

Currently I'm living with two friends in a beautiful apartment in Bos en Lommer. I'm a freelance designer and love the company while I'm working, either at home or at any of the pet friendly cafes around. We have plenty of extra room so, no matter the size, any pet will always have its place in our place. Mi casa es su casa.

About the neighbourhood:

We are in between Westerpark and Erasmuspark so if we're going for a short walk, I can pick a different one every day. I have my car too, so if they enjoy the ride we can also go to Amsterdamse Bos. If I have time and the weather is nice, I just grab my sketchbook and take them out for the whole afternoon, so the doggies get to play and meet new friends :)

About the service:

I do this out of love more than as a source of income, so I will treat every pet as if they were my own babies, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. That's why we never have more than one or two animals at home, and only if we know they get along well. I always make sure I get to know every pet and their likes and needs. That's why we can always talk and arrange everything during the meet and greet: duration of the walk/visit/boarding, special needs, etc. As I said I'm a freelancer, so I can always plan my schedule around it.
