Hello! My name is Sara and I've been pet and house-sitting as part of my international journey. I've studied and worked in Japan, which is where I started working on this idea! I have also house/pet sat in Seoul, Budapest, Berlin, and Vienna. 🐈‍⬛ 🐕 🐍🐹🐸🦔🪿🐢🐠🦜🐓🪽 As for my love for pets, I have been vegetarian for almost 10 years! I simply love animals too much. Growing up, my parents never allowed me to have pets and so I would always search for any way possible for me to interact with them; albeit going to friends' houses that have pets and pet-sitting whenever I got the chance. Now that I am traveling around on my own, I get to seek this whenever I want and it's one of my favorite parts of travel! I have experience with cats and small and big dogs, and I have owned an albino cornsnake! And so I love cold-blooded animals as well. For dogs, I usually do two 20 minute walks and one 1 hour long walk per day, and I feed them 3 times a day or as often as you prefer. For shy dogs, I would start by taking the small quiet roads and eventually introducing exposure to more open spaces. In case of emergencies, we would of course discuss it beforehand and I would let you decide what course of action you would like me to take. Ideally, you would connect me with your local vet so that I can contact them for you. I am flexible enough to offer visits only, as well as staying over at your house to care for your pet around the clock :) With big dogs, I would usually leave them alone up to 6 hours, and small dogs up to 4 hours. For untrained dogs, I can use treats for positive reinforcement. 🐩🐶 I would also send picture/video updates as often as you would like :)
