Pet care experience

In my career as a professional dog mum I have attended several dog schools where I learned a lot about handling and training a dog with positive reinforcement as well as about their wellbeing including healthy exercise and nutrition. Working with dogs has always been my passion - so no matter if it's just a walk to get some fresh air, a house visit, daycare or boarding at my place your furry family member is in good hands with me. I am fluent in german and english so if you trained your dog with german commands that would be no issue.

Alina took very good care of my kitties, arriving promptly at 6 am for 5 days, with a friendly personality and a positive attitude. You can easily tell that caring for pets is her passion, and she does it well. I plan to work with her again since my kitties liked her too!

Information Alina C. would like to know about your pet

I need to get information about the following points mentioned: Age, Breed, Health, special needs, general behavior on walks - with humans, dogs, squirrels, ect. If you're intressted in my day care/boarding service you're dog NEEDS to get along with my own dog, a little Beagle boy. My top priority is that all dogs I care for are happy and healthy at all times, so I will only keep your pup in my home if they have NO flees, NO parasites of all sorts and if they are up to date on their vaccinations.

A typical day

When I take care of a dog in my home they have as much playtime as they can handle with my little Beagle pup (he can go for hours), I will have them take nap breaks especially before and after feeding for their own safety. We go for 3-5 walks a day, depending on the weather and they will get spoiled with cuddles and belly rubs on the couch. My walks with dogs are diffrent depending on the dog I am walking. If it is a puppy I usually recommend longer walks where I can do some easy leash walking exercises as well as some sniff and play breaks. With older dogs it usually is a very relaxed walking experience if from the owner wanted also some little play breaks. No matter what age, my top priority is always a happy tail wagging pup.
