I’ve wanted a dog since I was a kid, but my parents always said they were afraid I wouldn’t take it seriously. So now I take it very seriously because their doubts turned me into an over-responsible pet caregiver. My pet care journey started six years ago when my sister got a small dog named Emil. She “hired” me as a dog sitter and paid me with the one thing I wanted most: unlimited time with this little buddy. That experience sparked my interest in professional pet care, so I took courses for dog walkers and sitters. Learning the art of communicating with dogs and understanding their needs was really fun, and I loved figuring out the right approach for each one. In 2023, I took in a stray dog in Georgia who had broken legs, worms, flies, and absolutely no idea what it meant to have a home. Taking care of him was my ultimate crash course in pet care. I learned how to give injections, do enemas, and deal with a flea invasion (that has spread to my flat…). He went from being a scared, injured dog with a bullet in his back to a spoiled little princess who refused to sleep anywhere but on a human bed. Now he lives his best life in Norway with his other mom, and I often visit them. I absolutely love animals, and now that I’ve moved to a new country and am learning German, life can sometimes feel lonely (and expensive). So, I’d love to spend some time with your pets!! calling them good boys and girls, giving belly rubs, and making sure they get the best care while their humans are away :)
