Playful, patient, pets love me instantly! đ¶đ±đ
Hello! đ My name is Ehshig (Xige), and Iâm an international masterâs student at Leiden University. More importantly for this profile, Iâm someone who has basically spent my whole life surrounded by animals đŸ 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 Iâm a bit of a sheep, dog and cat whisperer đđ¶đ± 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 âbright,â because he really did bring so much brightness into our family âš Heâs a very big, fluffy dog with an even bigger personality, so Iâm 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 đ€ 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 thatâs what they prefer. Since moving to the Netherlands, I really miss having animals around me, so Iâd love to make some more furry friends here and hopefully look after them regularly đ„č Iâve even somehow become friends with quite a few neighborhood cats around my home â Pablo, Becky, Moses and a few others already know me đ 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 đ¶đ±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 đ„čđ€ For me, pet sitting isnât 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 đ€So if youâre looking for someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with your pet and care for them as if they were my own, Iâd be very happy to help. Feel free to reach out. I canât wait to meet you and your furry friend! đŸ
