Shelter Volunteer Pet Sitting Haarlem/Amsterdam
Pet care experience
Super-Short About Me: • UvA student living in Haarlem • Loves animals of all shapes, sizes, colors, and temperaments • Trained volunteer in Ciapkowo animal shelter in Gdynia, Poland • Took care of friends' and family's pets many, many times • Had a pet basically all my life (guinea pig, hamster, dog, cat) • Comfortable with cleaning litter boxes, picking up poop, giving medicine, walking, training, difficult animals •Available around Haarlem and Amsterdam Slightly Longer About Me: I'm a student at the UvA, from Poland, living in the centre of Haarlem. There's always been a pet (or pets) in my home and in my life until my last dog passed away and I moved to the Netherlands for my studies. I miss animals dearly, so taking care of yours will be a pleasure. I have experience with cats, dogs, rodents (and can probably figure out fish); both long- and short-term. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter back in Poland (Ciapkowo) where I went through training. I can deal with very difficult dogs (stubborn, running away, aggressive towards other dogs or people). My own, late husky that I adopted from that shelter was most likely traumatized and it took years for her to learn to not be scared of everybody. With the support of an animal behaviorist, she went from biting every hand that went a little too close and refusing to look at anybody talking to her, to doing tricks, walking with no leash and loving belly rubs. If you're looking for somebody dedicated, with experience, able to take care of pets of any size and even the most challenging characters, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to adapt to every animal's and owner's needs. I can deal with annoying cats, stubborn dogs and violent hamsters. I can give medicine orally, change bandages and do training. In my apartment I don't have any pets and I live with my partner who loves animals too. It's not the biggest place, but there's more than enough space for all of us.

Information Eryk M. would like to know about your pet
I don't mind any breed, temperament, size or special needs as long as you provide me with all the necessary information beforehand. You can also let me know what their favorite treats are. :)
A typical day
I can do training which is not only fun, but also super beneficial for the dog! I like walking around the parks in Haarlem, for a longer walk - Overveen.

Availability
I have a lot of free time and the time I need for work is mostly spent in my apartment, where an animal companion would fit right in. July-September I have even less to do, with no university during the summer break.
