Hi, I’m a marine biology PhD student at the Leibniz Institute in Warnemünde. I travel for work so I can’t have a pet of my own, but I aways miss having animals around. I grew up with cats and dogs, and as a teen I looked after my neighbors’ pets to help fund my studies. Animals have been part of my life forever, and I treat every guest like family. I live in Lichtenhagen with fields right outside for off-leash runs, and the beach is only 10 minutes away. My balcony is cat-proofed so cats can safely enjoy fresh air, and if your cat is leash-trained I’m happy to take them out too. A typical day with your pet: For dogs, we start with a walk in the fields before I head to work. I can bring your dog to my office by the beach, so on my lunch break we’ll head to the sand or nearby park for a run. After work we do a longer walk again, either along the beach or back in the fields so they’re tired and happy at bedtime. For cats, I can shift my work hours to do half the day from my office and half from home, so they get company, playtime, and balcony time. You’ll get photos, updates, and someone who genuinely misses having paws around. I’d love to care for your loved ones when I’m in town.
