I’ve spent my entire life around animals, especially dogs. I grew up with boxers, which taught me how to handle energetic, strong‑willed breeds with calm confidence. In high school, I volunteered at a dog shelter for a month, helping with daily care routines like cleaning, feeding, walking, and supervised play. My experience extends beyond dogs. A cat “adopted me” and lived with me for two years before moving here to Geneva and becoming a close companion and teaching me the patience and gentle communication cats respond to. I’ve also worked on a farm as a cowboy, working with cattle and horses on a daily basis, where I fed animals, cleaned troughs, and helped nurture lost calves by providing milk and daily care. Most of my animal care background comes from rural environments rather than city settings. I’ve regularly looked after family and friends’ dogs whenever they travelled, providing affection, structure, and consistent routines while respecting the rules and boundaries set by each owner. Across all animals and environments, I bring calm energy, reliability, and genuine care.
