Experienced Dog & Cat Sitter: Attentive Walks, Safe Home Care & Regular Updates 🐾 Hi! I’m Daniela (Dana), a designer and tattoo artist based in Berlin, Germany. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember: I grew up with a dog, and our home was always visited by neighborhood cats and the pets of friends and neighbors, whom I happily looked after. Today I have more than 20 years experience caring for dogs and cats, and I know how to read their body language, respect their pace and notice when something is off. Before we start We begin with a free meet & greet where you can tell me everything that matters: Their personality with people and other animals Medication, allergies or special care needs Routines, schedules and favorite walking routes Favorite toys and what makes them happy What a walk with me looks like Walks last 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your dog’s age, energy and needs. I always walk with a well-fitted leash and harness, as I believe it’s the safest and most considerate option for them. I also bring waste bags, water and, when needed, a toy and treats for play or training during the walk. A typical walk may include: A calm start so your dog can do their business and settle in Time to sniff and explore, which is what stimulates and relaxes them most Play or exercise based on what they enjoy: brisk walking, fetch, a bit of treat-based training A calm finish with water and a quick paw check before heading back inside Everything always depends on each dog’s personality and condition, and on the owner’s specific instructions. I follow your preferred routes and schedules, avoid the hottest hours, and adjust the pace for senior dogs, puppies or reactive dogs. Afterwards I send you a photo or a short message about how it went. How I keep your pets safe in your home I check that doors, windows, balconies and gates are securely closed, and I enter and leave carefully to prevent escapes I keep food, plants and cleaning products that could harm them out of reach I follow their medication, feeding and routine exactly, and note any changes Fresh water is always available, along with a comfortable, quiet space I monitor their behavior: appetite, energy, mood and needs I ask in advance for your vet’s contact and an emergency contact, and I have a clear plan in case anything unexpected happens If anything worries me, I let you know right away My services 🏠 Home visits 🦮 Dog walking 🛏️ Pet sitting in your home while you’re away Flexible availability As a self-employed creative, my schedule is flexible and I’m available on weekdays, weekends and public holidays.
