I finished my Master's in Brain & Cognitive Sciences at the UvA. This program implied two years of tons of laboratory and academic work, which became tedious and boring for me. Because of that, I am currently looking to branch out from Academia and go back to one of my earlier favorite activities: being next to animals. I say “earlier” because while I studied for my Bachelor’s program in Biology (in Mexico), I had two part-time jobs. I was the head waitress at a restaurant, and I was volunteering at a dog shelter.

My main motivation for doing this is because, firstly, I want to help out people in Amsterdam to give a good life and proper treatment to their best friends. Pets bring the people around them countless joys and reasons for inspiration, and it is only fair that we -as a society- give something back and keep them as happy as possible.

I know firsthand that dogs appreciate such affection to an unparalleled extent, and providing it to some degree is incredibly fulfilling.

I work from home, so for me, it’s also a benefit to take pauses and go out. I am as active as the doggie requieres. If your pet has low requirements for activation, then a lot of snuggles will be provided. If your dog is active I go for runs and long walks with them

They will be treated as my own. They are allowed to be on the couch and beds.

I have been a pet sitter in Amsterdam since 2017. I have a lot of experience and you can ask for references of all the pups I have been making sure they have a great time while their owners are away.

My years of experience allow me to understand your dog's necessities. It’s not just the breed, it’s also the personality of your dog that it counts. Of course, a previous meeting is highly recommended to see if it’s a good match.
