I have always loved animals, my cat and dog can confirm :) I also did horse riding for an extended period of time. Through these experiences, I got used to managing different temperaments and adapting to special needs of any animal. I know to be present to reassure the pets with separation anxiety and also give space to those, needing more time to themselves. I look out for the needs of the pet communicated by the owners or the animal itself in the moment. Having been around big dogs and horses since childhood I am very calm and playful with them, even the most intimidating breeds. I am a sporty person, so I can offer your dogs as long of walks as they need, we even can go for a run together while you are away ! I have cared for various breeds - from my hyperactive Jack Russel to mixed American boxers. Moreover, I have had a cat for the last 8 years and cared for others through the pet setting services. I can play or just stay with them in your absence so they don't feel too lonely. If there are any special needs worth playing attention to, please let me know :)
