I am a 20-year-old medical student who is half Greek and half Danish. I grew up in Brussels where I was lucky enough to have had 3 lovely golden retrievers at home.

Having dogs around me since I was born means that I have always witnessed the dynamics between people and dogs, but also between dogs. I have gained direct insight into dogs' body language; how they behave if they are hungry, if they want to go for a walk, if they want to go outside, if they are sick - or are anxious or sad. From here I have learned how to handle the different emotions that can arise in dogs and how to meet their physical and mental needs.

I have experienced dogs in all their different ages; from hyperactive puppies to older and calmer dogs. This has been a particularly educational gift as dogs at different stages of their lives have very different needs.

I have often looked after my 3 golden retrievers alone since I was very young if my parents have been away travelling. That is why I understand the great responsibility that it entails, that one gets to put - not just one - but three lives in one's hands.

Apart from dogs, I have taken care of many cats and therefore understand their body language. I have also owned two dwarf hamsters, and through this have learned a lot about how to take care of rodents.

I currently own an axolotl- so I also have experience with looking after animals that live in water.

I offer petsitting at your house for dogs and cats, where I am also more than happy to water the plants, take in the mail, etc. I am also able to administer medicine.

I can walk dogs up to 45 minutes each time, up to 2 times a day. As I am used to walking 3 golden retrievers at the same time, I am more than able to walk several dogs at a time.

I also offer petsitting at my place- only for smaller animals, e.g. hamsters, fish, rabbits, etc.

My experiences with different animals have given me the opportunity to see animals as being some of the most beautiful things that life has to offer - therefore animals can expect to be met with a lot of love from me. I can't imagine anything better than getting the opportunity to get to know other animals - from other families and backgrounds😄😄
