Varia

I've had dogs and cats all my life, have been pet-sitting and dog-walking for friends for the past 5 years, and have recently lost my beloved cat and my Labrador all in one year, so I am very happy for dog company. 

I have a full-time job but work remotely from home (or from anywhere with wifi) so I'm happy to spend time with your pets either at my place or yours. I work a lot in the evenings so I have lots of time to walk dogs in the mornings and early afternoons. 

*Please note I have a second floor apartment with no elevator, and I don't do overnight stays at your place.*

For the last few years, I heavily relied on the services of dog sitters and dog walkers on this app due to my dog's separation anxiety, so I am very familiar with what the best sitters/walkers are like... and the worst. With me you'll get the best :)

I rescued my dog at an older age and with quite a bit of trauma, so I have experience with all of the following:

- Separation anxiety. I am not a SA trainer, but I understand a dog with separation anxiety and how to keep them feeling safe. 

- Reactive dogs (dog/dog reactive, people reactive, noises/trams/cars/buses reactive, etc). Again, I am not a trainer, but I will keep them safe.

- Older dogs & medical issues. Hip/joint/ear issues, administering ointments and medications. I also have a cat who is on permanent epilepsy medication so very familiar with that as well.

- Dogs that like to eat stuff off the ground... like everything. (I had a labrador. Enough said?)

I live in a small one-bedroom apartment in Amsterdam-east up two flights of (wide, not too Dutch) stairs.

I very much hope to meet you and your dog soon.
