Chrissy

Hey I'm Chrissy. I am a Canadian living in Amsterdam for the last two years. Growing up in rural Ontario, I spent my childhood on a hobby farm (cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens) and lived in London before moving here.

I grew up loving animals and when I left home, I started fostering rescue dogs via https://www.saveourscruff.org/ (including a 2 legged dog in a wheelchair once) while I lived in Toronto, to get them socialised to be permanently adopted. I regularly look after friends' dogs/cats while they are on holiday since being in Amsterdam because I miss having my own.

I work in tech sales and make my own schedule and work from home whenever I want, so I am very flexible throughout the day for walks and pet sitting.

I live in the Geuzenkade complex in De Baarsjes, which includes a leash-off area 20m from my apartment, and steps from Erasmus Park. 

While I am new to Pawshake, I can give references from Save Our Scruff and friends who I pet sit for.
