I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in Costa Rica surrounded by nature and a whole family of animals — from dogs and cats to bunnies, birds, turtles, chickens, and more. My first dog, Hasso, a German Shepherd my age, was like a sibling to me. Most of my pets were rescues, so I’m very familiar with supporting animals who need extra patience, love, or behavioral understanding. For the past seven years I’ve been living in Germany, and I’m fluent in German as well as English and Spanish. At home I live with Ozy, my tiny long-haired Chihuahua, who loves being around other animals — especially cats (they often mistake him for one!). I offer dog sitting not only because I adore animals, but also because Ozy truly enjoys having friendly company. Professionally, I’m a psychologist with a strong foundation in animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with training pets, interpreting behavioral cues, and gently correcting behaviors through positive, mindful methods. Your pet will be cared for with expertise, patience, and genuine affection. I live in a spacious apartment in Schwabing with wonderful parks nearby — Luitpoldpark, Olympiapark, and the Englischer Garten — perfect for long walks, playtime, and exploring nature.
