Maria

Hi! My name is Maria and I just started my undergraduate studies in Utrecht. Unfortunately, I don't speak Dutch (yet) but I'm sure it won't be an obstacle for your animal's well-being :)). I have had contact with animals since a young age when I started horse riding and took care of the horses and other animals in the stable. I really enjoyed it and I am pretty sure, the animals did as well. Besides that, before I came to in the Netherlands I used to walk my neighbours' and friends' dogs regularly.

This year my family even adopted a dog of our own. A mixed-breed dog whose name is Figa. I miss her a lot! That's one of the reasons why I would like to work as a petsitter. I really miss contact with animals and I think I have much to offer. I am very active, so long walks and active play are not an issue for me. I run, swim, do yoga and, of course, walk. I love spending tome in nature, though aside from that I love creating art and doing to art galleries. I am responsible, patient and committed. I can assure you that I will do my best to understand your animal and give it the best care possible!

I live in student housing in Utrecht Oost, so unfortunately I cannot offer to take the animals to my place. My main means of transport are walking and biking, so I would prefer to petsit within distances accessible by any of these means. I can take care of most of the animals but I will need specific instructions when it comes to rodents and birds. I offer:

- dog walking (between 15 minutes and 1 hour) in your neighbourhood, Wilhemina Park, Amelisweerd or Rhijnauwen

- home visits at your place. I can take care of the plants and mail and clean up after the animals.

- I will feed your animals according to your suggestions

- I can administer oral medication in dogs

- I can house-sit at your place, on the times I don't have lectures, so I will need letting me know in advance.
