Hello there! My name is Diana and I have had animals around me since I was little, and through uni I spent three years pet sitting. It paid for a few things, but mostly a dog/cat and some cuddles on the sofa was the best cure for exam stress. I work around your routine, not mine. Tell me when they eat, how long they like their walks and what makes them nervous, and I'll stick to it. If your dog is anxious somewhere new, I'm patient and happy to go slowly. I'm in Amsterdam, so there are plenty of parks nearby for long walks. I'll send photos while you're away, because I'd want them if it were my dog. happy to meet/chat more if you need more information!
