About Priscilla
Yes its true. She died ithis spring and I have been traveling since then to avoid being home. Now autumn is coming and I have to be in Berlin for work. So can I please borrow your fur buddy sometimes?. I have taken care of my friends dogs and my daughtors dog is a regular at my place, but I want more.
I live alone in a 57qm apartment in Neukölln and work mainly from home. I let dogs go where ever they want in my house. sleep on sofas and beds, no problem. I dont feed them scraps from the table- ever. I can do long morning walks if thats what your dog is used to or I can do long evening walks. I generally do one short morning walk 20- 30 minutes. And then a longer afternoon walk for about 60-90 minutes. At night its just a quick pee before bedtime. I dont do cafe hangouts with my dogs. When the weather is nice , its nice to hang out on the balcony on the sofa with the dog(if they like that sort of thing) I do not plan on taking on more than one dog at a time but depending on the situation i may take on two , if I know them both well.
Although I have experience with nervous or fearful dogs, I find it too difficult for me to deal with in other peoples dogs. My house is rather noisy, so I cant take any dogs who bark at sudden noises.
Also in the winter months with fireworks my neighborhood is particularly aggressive. So unless your dog has nerves of steel- they will not be happy here in December.
I am fine with old dogs, young dogs, and squirrel chasers. I also have experience with very delicate stomachs and Im used to giving medication. I can easily handle medium sized dogs who are rowdy and large dogs too if they are well behaved.
I wont take on any dogs with any kind of aggression problems. I dont have the training to deal with that. I also do not want to take any non- neutered dogs. I work mainly from home so thats where we will be hanging out.When I do a dog sit I will make sure it doesnt coincide with any other work appointments elsewhere. I live very close to Tempelhofer feld and Hasenheide so thats where we will be headed most of the time. Im looking forward to some nice long walks and doggy slumber parties.
One more important detail
I work every Saturday and Wednesday for 4-6 hours. Generally leaving the house at 10.30am and coming home at 3.30pm. I cant bring the dog with me to these classes. So if your dog is okay with being alone for this amount of time then there is no problem. When I get home we can do our long afternoon walk.
