Hi! My name is Alyssa and I am an Erasmus student living in Berlin for six months. Animals have been a fundamental part of my life for as long as I can remember: back home with my family, I left behind two wonderful cats and a dog whom I love dearly, along with my passion for horseback riding. Growing up with cats taught me how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Six years ago, I welcomed my dog into my life. To ensure I provided her with the best care, I worked closely with professional dog trainers to learn proper handling, communication, and positive reinforcement techniques. This hands-on experience helped me build a solid understanding of dog behavior, patience, and attentive care. I welcome dogs of all sizes as well as cats of any age. While I am not a professional trainer, I am comfortable caring for dogs that may be reactive or strong, as long as owners provide clear instructions and routines to follow safely. I am also happy to administer basic oral or topical medications strictly following the detailed guidelines provided by the owner. While I don't have direct experience with other types of pets, I am eager and very quick to learn their specific care routines. Due to my current setup, I offer services at your home or outdoors: - 30-minute Walks (or longer upon agreement!): Perfect for getting your dog moving, exercising, and having fun. - Home Visits (30 to 60 minutes): To feed, clean litter boxes, play, cuddle, and keep your pets company in their familiar environment. Safety in your home is my top priority: I strictly follow your rules and security instructions, ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when leaving or inside. I double-check that dangerous items, foods, or chemicals are kept safely out of reach, and I strictly keep dogs on a leash during outdoor walks unless in a fully secured off-leash area. My schedule is very flexible: Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am 100% free all day. On Thursdays and Fridays I only have a single lecture, leaving plenty of availability. On Mondays and Tuesdays I have two 1.5-hour classes, but I am still easily able to fit in walks or home visits without any issue. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends to give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve!
