Hi, I’m Freya, an Australian currently living in Bordeaux. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, especially dogs. I grew up with a sheepdog when I was young, and after he passed away, my family welcomed a schnauzer-poodle cross named Licorice into our lives. She was such a loving and playful dog and truly part of our family. Because my parents travelled often, I was usually responsible for caring for Licorice for extended periods of time, so I’m very comfortable with the daily responsibilities that come with looking after a dog independently. Towards the end of her life, she also required medication morning and night, which gave me experience caring for older dogs with extra needs and routines. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, whether that’s going for long walks, keeping them company at home, or making sure they feel calm and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have many friends with dogs, and I’m often the person they ask to dog sit for them because they know I’m reliable, patient, and caring. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, and I’d always care for your dog as if they were my own.
