I recently moved to Eindhoven with my husband and my 1.5 year old son from the US. I am an active personal trainer and my son loves animals. We are always going to parks and playing outside. My son is quite comfortable and gentle with cats and dogs. All of our friends and family members in the US have dogs and I grew up having them as pets.

Even though we hope to have our own dog or cat one day, we are waiting until we have lived here longer and know our situation. Your animal would need to be comfortable with small children, but if they are we will show them a lot of love!

The length of walks and home visits can be as long as you need. I am able to check on them indoors when you are away as well, as I am currently not working.
