Hello! My name is Lena and i'm 24 years old and graduated from my BSc in Animal Behaviour in Manchester (UK) and got my MSc in Forest and Nature Conservation from Wageningen University in the Netherlands. I am French, but I currently live in Berlin, Germany; I speak French, English, Spanish and a bit of Italian, and trying my best to learn German. Having lived in Africa my whole life, I have always been exposed to nature, wildlife, and animals. I have been surrounded by a multitude of pets since before I could walk - I have had dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, goats, chicken, ducks, rabbits, turtles, fish, you name it. Being in their presence and caring for them in whatever capacity gives me comfort and fills my heart with so much love. This platform is very important to me as I have previously used it as a pet owner and as a pet sitter and have had only wonderful experiences, I hope I can carry on by providing my services. Pawshake is a way for everyone to benefit from their love for animals; being away from home and living in a foreign country away from my family and pets is incredibly difficult- but having any kind of contact with animals is the biggest source of comfort for me. With 20 years of dog walking experience and generally being around them my entire life, I can assure you your animals will be in good hands and treated as my own with infinite respect, care, kindness, and love. If feeding and medication giving are required, I am happy and capable of doing so should I be given the necessary instructions. I hope you give me the opportunity to meet, care for, and love your furry babies when you are not around!
