My name is Lisa Drinkwater, and I grew up with a rescue dog at my parents’ house. Every weekend I spent time training her. Rescue dogs can come with a history of trauma, so it takes consistency, patience, and attention to help them feel secure. We bonded well, and spending time together became something I really enjoyed. Now that I live alone in Rotterdam, I’m no longer around her, and I realise how much I miss having animals in my daily life. I work as a freelancer, which means I have flexible hours and plenty of time in between projects, especially in the mornings and evenings. I’ve always enjoyed the routine of walking and caring for a dog, and I find it rewarding to work with them. I would be happy to help in any way—whether walking, basic training, or simply providing company—because I understand the time and care dogs need to thrive.
