I’ve always been an animal lover! Growing up near the Italian countryside, I spent my childhood surrounded by my grandparents’ cats and dogs, playing with them around the olive trees. Although I couldn’t have my own pet because of my family's allergies, I volunteered with a local rescue association to care for stray puppies until they found their forever homes. Over the past few years, I’ve had the joy of looking after several dogs. I have walked a young chocolate labrador, walked and cared for a golden retriever in his owner's home, and helped an elderly German shepherd with food and medication. I’ve also shared a home with two cats, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets. Now that I live in The Hague and have more free time while I wait to start a new job, I’d love to spend it caring for animals again. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy.
