Wiktoria

Hi! My name is Wiktoria (but you can call me Vicky) and I'm 25 years old Polish girl that moved to Mainz a year ago to do a PhD in the Institute of Molecular Biology here in Mainz.

In my parents' house we've always had many animals since I was born and I was always sourranded by many of them - 4 dogs, rabbit, guinea pig, goldfishes and even a turtle. My parents have been always teaching me love and care to them, so in the age of 17 I became vegetarian, and year later vegan. Continuing my love to animals, I started biology studies, and graduated BSc and MSc in molecular biology. During my studies I was taught to handle every kind of animal, so I am not afraid of taking care of small animals like snakes, lizards, birds (all right, I have to admit maybe I'm a little scared of spiders), but also the bigger ones like rabbits, cats and dogs. During this time I have also volunteered many times in dogs shelters offering dog walks, making fundraising, cleaning dogshelters and collecting neccesery things like blankets, dogfood. 

Now I have moved from Poland to Germany for my PhD studies, and had to leave my beloved poodle dog Jorge with my parents (I miss him so much!). I am missing contact with animals so I decided to help others with taking care of their little furry friends as I know how much attention and care animals need.

I am a PhD student so I have flexible schedule and I can accomodate it so I have enough time for your pet when you need it. Sometimes I also work only with my laptop from any place, so if you need someone to stay longer with your pet in your house, that is also not a problem for me! I live close to the center (as well as my workplace), so it doesn't take me much time to reach any place.

I will try to take care of your pets the best I can and considering your wishes. The website doesn't allow to set other timing of dog walks/pet sitting, so I am open to discuss your needs! I have experience with taking care of my 4 dogs, my friends' dogs, and shelter dogs, taking them to the veterinary (also possible if you cannot make it), bathing and grooming them (grooming my poodle was my favorite thing!) - you can see a picture of my satisfied dog after a bath :). You can openly talk to me about any tasks you need with your pet!

I speak perfectly English and Polish, but also I'm now learning German and Spanish so I hope we can communicate clearly! Hopefully see you and your beloved pets soon! :)
