Hi! I'm Angelika, a 24-year-old animal lover from Austria. I'm moving mostly between Barcelona and Berlin but for now I'll be available in Berlin :)

I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) and have been pet sitting since 2018 after moving to Vienna for my studies. I also used to step in for a friend of mine who's a full-time cat sitter when she needed replacement and have provided foster care for pets. Leaving my pets behind with my parents was hard – I've considered adopting pets, but as I will continue to travel regularly I feel like it would not be a sensible decision at that point. Pet sitting feels like the perfect balance. During my travels in 2021 I started doing house sitting abroad which I've been doing basically non-stop since and I've had wonderful experiences with.

I have experience with shy, traumatized, special needs pets (eg. blind, post-surgery care), giving medicine, nail cutting and brushing teeth. I am aware of how important it is to not cross boundaries and instead let the pet decide when or if they are ready to be affectionate. 

You can contact me for the links to my other pet sitting profiles to see more references :)

I'd kindly ask you to state your approximate location in your request and tell me a bit about the pet(s), their routines and what you're looking for in order to see if it's a good match! 

As for house sitting: If you're making a request, I'd kindly ask you to add a photo of the space I'd be in. Please understand, I am not picky about this, but I appreciate a clean and tidy space. I treat your home like mine, have a high sense of responsibility and respect your rules. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

(Dog breeds I have experience with include: Basset, Husky, Pomsky, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Whippet, Irish Wheaten Terrier, Maltese, Xoloitzcuintli, Bouvier de Flandes, Miniature Pinscher, Boxer, Yorkshire Terrier, Norwich Terrier, Podenco, Pug, Icelandic Sheepdog, German Spitz, Border Collie, Poodle and some mixed ones who often were rescue dogs – some of them rather shy ones, depending on their back story)
