Iris

Hi there,

My name is Iris, half Flemish half Sardinian, born and raised in Antwerp. I am a freelance performing artist and also a contemporary ritual designer.

I speak Nederlands, English, Français, Italiano and basic Spanish and German.

To take care of an animal feels like a privilege to me. To gain their trust is so precious. The fact that they are nonjudgmental moves me to my core.

I've loved animals in general ever since I was a kid. It started with my chickens. They were like my little babies.

Animals make me smile and I enjoy their company a lot. I talk to them and it feels like they understand me. So generally I find it easy to get along with them and we have a good time together. 😁

I love all kinds of animals; hamsters, rabbits, turtles, horses, donkeys, cats, sheep, goats, chickens,..., you name it.

I'm particularly fond of dogs though, big and small. I had the honour to have my precious little Zaza (little black dog in some of my pictures) along my side for 15 years. What a wonderful soul. We had such a deep connection. She passed away in October 2021. Now I feel blessed to be able to take good care of other peoples furry friends❣️

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need someone to take care of your pet, whether it be your turtle, your hamster, cat, dog or any other cutie 😊😍

I'd love to hear all about them, their little habits, what they are particularly fond off - like tummy scratches and such 😉 - and how I can be of service whilst you are working or on a holiday.

I promise you, I'll take care of them as if they were my own...I know how hard it can be to leave them behind or trust someone with your sweetheart 🫶

For dogwalking: I take your dog out for an appropriate walk of about 45min or whatever length and time the dog needs depending their age, condition and breed.

I own a car and am also available to take your dog for longer walks, half day or full day visits in nature reserves or forests like the Kalmthoutse Heide or other beautiful sites I regularly visit in "de Kempen" 😊.

Further, I'm available for other specific requests, for any kind of animal, so don't hesitate to ask.

Looking forward to meet you and your pawed friend 🐾
