I grew up with six dogs in the house, one of ours and another five stray dogs on average, rescued by our neighbours. As a result I got bitten by one at a very young age, but remained comfortable being around dogs regardless.
Later I volunteered as a dog-walker in a shelter, and fostered a dog from another shelter. And of course I raised from-puppy my parents' Labrador retriever, a dog that was also mine.

To cats I got to connect much later, and since then not only have I hosted them and did cat-sitting, but also a few years ago I rescued a 2-week old kitten and raised her for two months until she found a new home. I learned a lot there.

I speak several languages (English, Russian, Hebrew, and intermediate Dutch and Romanian) so hopefully I will find a way to connect to your beloved pet :)

I live in Zaandam, but am in Amsterdam couple of times a week. I have an EU-passport and have been in the Netherlands for about three years now.

Please don’t hesitate to send me a message and we will see what I can do for you. 

Cheers. Doeeeei
