Pet care experience
8+ Years of Dog Care & Love
Dogs have been a part of my everyday life ever since I was a baby. 8 years ago, What started with helping neighbours and looking after other people's dogs grew into something I genuinely love and have continued doing consistently over the years. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and routines — from playful young dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention to older dogs who prefer a slower, calmer pace. I also have a 3-year-old Black Labrador of my own, whom I raised and trained from a puppy. Being responsible for her from such a young age has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, basic training, boundaries, socialisation, exercise and understanding a dog's behaviour and body language. I know how much patience, consistency and positive reinforcement matter, particularly with young dogs who are still learning. She is living with my parents now and I miss having a dog around every minute. I understand that every dog is different, so I don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Some dogs need long walks and lots of play, while others are happiest with a quiet walk, companionship and plenty of rest. I am happy to follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication where appropriate, walking preferences, training cues and any specific instructions you provide. I am also very flexible with my time and can integrate dog care into my everyday routine. I am generally available after midday afternoon on weekdays, while weekends and full-day care can also be arranged. We live in a very spacious apartment on the top floor in the middle of Winterthur. While my partner stays at home, she can take care or play with the dogs through out the week whenever needed. This means I can give your dog genuine attention throughout the day rather than simply fitting them in between other commitments. Most importantly, I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's dog seriously. Your dog's safety and wellbeing come first. I pay close attention to leash handling and our surroundings on walks, provide a calm and dog-friendly environment at home, and follow your instructions carefully when caring for your dog in their own home. After eight years of daily experience, I am comfortable reading dogs' body language, recognising when they are uncomfortable or overstimulated, and responding calmly to their individual needs. When your dog is with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable and cared for — and for you to have complete peace of mind while they are in my care.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and can naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I am generally available from the early afternoon on weekdays, while weekends and full-day care can also be arranged. My partner stays home and she just finished her university study, she is now taking a break from study and working. She also has extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, so there is someone at home who can provide company, supervision and care throughout the day whenever needed. This means pets can receive plenty of attention and are not simply left alone for long periods. We are happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, companionship or simply having someone nearby while their owner is away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's pet very seriously, and their safety and wellbeing always come first. At my home, I provide a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and have plenty of attention and supervision. When caring for a pet in their own home, I carefully follow the owner's instructions and respect their routines, house rules and any specific safety requirements. I also pay close attention to pets' behaviour and body language so I can recognise when they are comfortable, nervous, overstimulated or need some space. Whether I am taking a dog for a walk, caring for a cat at home or looking after a pet overnight, I focus on creating a safe and reassuring environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, so I aim to give owners the same peace of mind I would want when leaving my own pet in someone else's care.
