Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, trusted dog friend
I have always loved animals and truly believe we share a special connection with cats and dogs—they bring genuine joy to our lives. I have had a dog since I was 17; my 9-year-old Maltese, Barney, currently lives with my family, giving me years of firsthand experience with senior care and training. I personally potty-trained Barney as well as two rescue dogs I fostered before they found forever homes: Foxy, a fox-like medium mix adopted nearly two years ago, and Peanut, a small pup adopted about a year and a half ago. Teaching them good habits through positive reinforcement required great patience, and Barney even learned numerous tricks and obstacle courses over the years. Highly experienced in dog walking, I provide structured, attentive care tailored to your dog’s specific pace and energy level, always keeping you reassured with regular photo updates.

Safety, trust & environment
Because I live with flatmates, I do not host pets in my own home; instead, I provide care directly in your pet's familiar environment or through structured walks. Safety, trust, and clear communication are central to how I work. Just like people, every single animal is unique, with their own personality, triggers, and preferences. That is why I always check in with you beforehand about any special needs, medical conditions, or behavioral quirks, ensuring my approach is tailored specifically to them. When visiting your home, I strictly follow your routines and house rules, keeping doors and windows secure and any hazards out of reach. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay alert to street traffic and other animals, and pick calm routes. I treat your home with complete respect and send prompt updates with photos to keep you fully reassured.

Schedule
I am currently pursuing my master's degree in sustainability at UPC, which gives me a structured yet highly adaptable routine that fits naturally around pet care. I am completely free all day Friday through Sunday for full-day sitting, long walks, and constant companionship. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I only have classes from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, leaving my afternoons and evenings wide open. On Mondays and Wednesdays, when I have classes from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, I am readily available for early morning and evening walks or visits. Outside of my university hours, my time is focused and flexible, allowing me to strictly follow your pet’s regular walking, feeding, and medication schedule without disruption.
