Nishka

My name is Joannishka but you can call me Nishka. I am Ghanaian but I was born in Russia hence the name. I am a veterinarian by profession and licensed in both Russia and Ghana. I went to vet school in Russia and practiced for 5 years after in Ghana.

I moved to Bonn in April 2021 to start my Phd in Public Health at the University of Bonn. I clearly looooove animals, I mean, I dedicated my whole life to them :D. I have worked in various capacities as a vet in Ghana: Clinical, Field, Laboratory, Public Health and Regulatory. Outside my professional work, I have volunteered with many Animal Shelters in Russia, Poland and the USA. I interned under the Mandela Washington Fellowship with the Humane Society of the United States in Washington DC. I also joined them in Puerto Rico to conduct free mass castrations for pets.

I used to run Ghana's only animal rehoming platform and have been an avid advocate for animal rights. I currently live in a student dorm so I cannot keep any pets but I can visit yours, walk them, or even house sit. I am just looking for an excuse to pet and play with a cute dog/cat! :D I have also had a lot of experience taking care of other pets like rabbits, rats, mice, hamsters etc.

I currently work from home so I am mostly available at any time. I can walk your dogs based on whatever regime works best for them (max an 1 hour). I can offer 1-2 walks a day. I can also house sit and keep them company. I can feed, change their litter and give medications if needed.
