Naia

Hello! My name is Naia, I'm 18 years old and a big animal lover. I live in Leuven and I speak fluent Flemish as well as English. My hobbies have always been something including animals, and i've always been passionate about learning about them. I have a dog of my own, but before I had him I would walk our friends and neighbours dogs. I'm responsible, I know how to watch a dogs body language and I will happily abide to any rules you have for your dog. If you have a preference of a place to walk, where your dog is maybe more familiar with just let me know and I'll be happy to take them there. I don't own a car but I have a bike and public transport is always an option (if your dog has been on it before). What we would do on walks, if your dog is a stick/ball lover we will be doing that until they are tired! If your dog likes to sniff and chase things im happy to take them somewhere they are familiar with and you are comfortable it will bother no one. If your dog likes to swim, reccomend me a spot or I can find somewhere that dogs are allowed off lead. If your dog doesn't have recall I will most likely be keeping them on the lead for the entirety of the walk, but I promise you they will still get plenty of exercise! 

For the house sitting, I would most likely stay at home with your pet all day and night. I tend to not leave animals on their own and if I do it's for an hour max. If i'm staying in your house i'm happy to feed your pets, water your plants, and keep everything clean and tidy for when you arrive back. I would take them for a short walk about an hour after they have eaten, and then a slightly longer one later in the day. 

If you aren't sure and it's your first time having someone look after your dog i'd be very happy to meet with you first, somewhere where you can teach me what your dogs habits and routines are and to see if they like me! 

I have experience with dog training, mostly basic stuff but I do have experience with training a dog who loves to chase, mostly through professional trainers, teaching myself from online classes and fully training my own dog.

I also have some experience with dog's who are reactive of other dogs, and dogs who aren't so keen on having anyone in their space. 

My average walk is an hour long, of course that all depends on what you'd like and pay for however most of the time i'm very much up for long walks! 

I'm most likely to answer in the midday/evening, however I will try my best to reply as soon as possible 

Hope to see you soon! :)
