Hi there! I’m Ausrine, and animals have been my greatest passion since childhood. Growing up, I dreamed of having both a dog and a cat—and that dream came true early! At age 5, I got my first pet, a bunny. Two years later, we welcomed a curly-haired Bichon Frise into our family, and soon after, we rescued a sweet cat. Ever since, I’ve felt a deep connection with animals—whether it’s a dog, a cat, or even a goat, I just can’t pass one without stopping to admire it.

🐶 My Experience

I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have learned a lot from caring for them. When I moved to another city for university, I began volunteering at an animal shelter. I was later selected to work specifically with rescued dogs that had behavioral challenges such as anxiety, reactivity, and dependency.

This experience inspired me deeply. It taught me how to build trust with scared or sensitive animals and how much patience, calmness, and consistency can transform a pet’s life. I learned to read subtle signs of stress and understand their emotional needs.

Eventually, I adopted my own dog (~4 years ago) , Kopa—a wonderful and sensitive soul with a history of trauma. She’s been my greatest teacher. To help her (and deepen my knowledge), I completed several dog training programs, including:

Puppy pre-course

Advanced obedience training

Anxiety-focused dog training

Dog gym training

Agility training (which we’re doing now!)

I’ve also pet-sat many breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, King Cavaliers, Poodles, and rescue dogs with complex personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always approach each pet with love and responsibility.

In addition to dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats—both social and shy, young and senior. I understand their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm environment where they feel safe and at ease.🐱

🏡 What You Can Expect

A Loving Home Away from Home

Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, calm household and treated as part of the family. They’ll never be left alone or bored, and will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.

Respect for Your Routine

I understand the importance of consistency. Share your pet’s routine, habits, and training cues, and I’ll do my best to keep everything familiar and structured.

Photo & Video Updates

I know how much it matters to stay connected while you’re away. I’ll send you regular updates, including messages, photos, and videos. Prefer video calls? I’m happy to arrange those too!

Walks & Mental Stimulation

Daily walks, play, and enrichment are part of our rhythm. Whether we’re exploring the neighborhood, working on training, or socializing with others, your dog will stay happy, healthy, and engaged.

Safe & Social Environment

My professionally trained dog is social and respectful. I only accept pets who are non-aggressive toward others to ensure harmony in the home.
