Playful, patient, pets love me instantly! š¶š±š
Hello! š My name is Ehshig (Xige), and Iām an international masterās student at Leiden University. More importantly for this profile, Iām someone who has basically spent my whole life surrounded by animals š¾ I grew up in Inner Mongolia in a nomadic family, where animals have always been a huge part of everyday life. I grew up helping my family take care of sheep, goats, horses, dogs and cats, so I sometimes joke that Iām a bit of a sheep, dog and cat whisperer šš¶š± Being around so many different animals from a young age taught me that they all have their own personalities, boundaries and ways of communicating. Back home, I have a four-year-old Mongolian Bankhar named Nyangar. His Mongolian name means ābright,ā because he really did bring so much brightness into our family āØ Heās a very big, fluffy dog with an even bigger personality, so Iām very comfortable around large dogs and definitely not intimidated by their size or strength. More recently, my family also adopted a beautiful long-haired silver shaded cat who had been abandoned by his previous owner. Having his in our family has given me even more experience with cats and made me appreciate just how different their personalities can be š¤ When I look after an animal, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, relaxed and comfortable with me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know their little habits and personalities, whether that means going for walks, playing together, giving them attention, or simply giving them space when thatās what they prefer. Since moving to the Netherlands, I really miss having animals around me, so Iād love to make some more furry friends here and hopefully look after them regularly š„¹ Iāve even somehow become friends with quite a few neighborhood cats around my home ā Pablo, Becky, Moses and a few others already know me š When I was still living back home, I regularly looked after Molly, a lovely dog, and Mimi, a little cat, whenever their owners were away. Over time, I got to know them really well, including their different routines, little habits and personalities š¶š±Their family later moved to Norway, and this summer I actually travelled there specifically to look after Molly and Mimi again while their owners were away. I stayed with them for a month, keeping them company and making sure they were happy and well cared for. It was honestly such a lovely experience š„¹š¤ For me, pet sitting isnāt just about keeping an animal company while their human is away. I honestly think we need their company just as much as they need ours š¤So if youāre looking for someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with your pet and care for them as if they were my own, Iād be very happy to help. Feel free to reach out. I canāt wait to meet you and your furry friend! š¾
