Ciao iedereen

I'm an Italian girl who fluently speaks English en mijn niveau van Nederlands is B1

I've recently obtained in Italy the certificat as Dog Coach in a school with cognitive-relational approach and, in the past 2-3 years, I had been assisting a dog trainer with her classes in Amsterdam.

My dog, Sally, who had a hard start of her Life and suffered from some social deprivation in her puppyhod, made me discover this amazing world and lured me back into Science, Nature and Animals.

I am a Biologist with a master degree and worked 6 years in a lab here in the Netherlands. My passion for animals grew back again in 2011 when I first became the guardian of a white-bellied hedgehog.

Since then, another hedgehog and 5 gerbils joined our family but, currently, I'm helping the wild hedgehogs via setting a food station in my front garden to help them out before and after their hibernation months.

My adventure with dogs instead began in June 2018 when we rescued Sally from the streets in Sicily (she was abandoned). She was only 2-3 months old.

To me dogs are individuals with their own motivations and unique emotions. Walking or taking care of them at home to me include also playing and having easy interactions while building a bond.

My availability schedule may change week by week, but do not hesitate to contact me in order to find a possible solution.

Tot dan

**LET OP- PLEASE READ**

My services so far:

- No more cat-sitting (only for old clients), I'm sorry.

- Home visit: 13 EUR per hour (max 3-4 hours) at your place

- Dog walking: 20 EUR per 60-minute walk. 1-to-1 (I can use leashes that are minimum 3-mt long to allow the dog sniff and smell the world and I also have plenty of practice with long lines). If also the short walks early in the morning and in the evening are needed then it's 7 Eur extra for roughly 10 minute walk each!

**For those living 5km away (via Google map driving distance), I also charge 0.20 EUR per Km (return journey) + parking fee if any**
