Hello, I am a dog lover just out of university and living in Rotterdam now for four years. Growing up in Colorado, my family always had dogs including: Australian Shepherd mix, Jack Russel Terrier mix, Lab mixes, Greyhound mix, and a Chihuahua mix. These among other animals. My mother used to be a vet technician and my sister has worked in many animal related professions and is now getting a masters in animal husbandry to work as a zookeeper. With such an animal loving family, I have learned a lot about how to read and take care of our lovely furry friends. I am on other pet sitting groups in Rotterdam, and have helped my sister when she ran a pet sitting business, but have no formal training myself. With that being said, I work as a circus performer, which is a very on and off job, meaning that in between I have a lot of time to devote to the animals I care for. I am open to listen to your advice about how to care for your lovely fur-baby and am willing to continue any training and/or treatments they may have depending on which ones and how used to it they are.
