As an international student, there are three things I miss the most being away from home: mountains, my dog, and walking my dog in the mountains. By becoming a pet-sitter, I am hoping to find a way to fill the void in my life that is not seeing her every day. Her name is Zorka, and she is a 5 years old border collie, so energetic breeds that require a lot of attention don't pose a problem to me.

Spending time with animals never fails to improve my mood, and is a great way to destress next to studying. Virtually any activity I can think of is better with a companion, be it long walks/jogs with a dog, or reading a book sitting next to a purring cat. I have plenty of experience in caring for these two animal species in particular, but I am open to try anything that does not involve feeding live prey.
