Hi! I'm Margherita, I'm 23 years old and extremely passionate about animals, and freshly moved to Berlin from Italy.
I recently graduated in Animal Care at the University of Padova with great results, where I learned the importance of animal welfare, training, and education. For years I've been taking care of different kinds of domestic animals at home including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and small mammals but I truly learned how to deal with them after my graduation, in fact, I worked at a rescue center for exotic and wild animals taking care of primates, big felids, and herbivores of every species. Feel free to contact me and I will gladly take care of your beautiful animals too! :)
Having had dogs and cats all my life, I know how to fulfill their needs in the most appropriate way, including their diet preparation, exercise, and hygiene. Knowing your pets is very important, their health is always in the first place, so if there are physical difficulties or previous pathologies it is good to know them, as well as their habits outside their home, how they behave with other animals, and with the people they meet. I'm trained to perform CPR and I can administer medication to pets, in fact, I also worked as a vet assistant.
I'm extremely flexible regarding time and place as I'm unemployed for now, and I'm available also to spend the night at the owner's house if necessary, taking the dogs out during daytime, even for more than one consecutive day, being able also to water the plants or bring in the mail if necessary.
Regarding the walks, I would recommend at least 30 minutes, but I'm up to more than one hour in parks and green areas, and depending on the individual I could have more walks per day, up to 3.
Luckily I have many green areas in my neighborhood and I'm available also to keep your animals at my home for a short time depending on their behavior and education, after a face-to-face arrangement, and meeting you and your pets. I'm living in Wedding, in an apartment on my own on the third floor, which has two fenced balconies and a closed courtyard. Pets will stay in a separate room, very spacious but I would need their own belongings such as their kennel and toys.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Very friendly and sweet with our dog. Our dog is super happy to see her, which shows how she is able to bond with the dog in a short amount of time. Also very responsive and answers quickly.
We highly recommend Margherita! Our dogs warmed to her from the first moment they met (which our one of our dogs rarely does) and you can tell she is has a natural instinct with how to communicate with animals in addition to the interesting experiences and studies she has done with animals. Your pets will be in good hands with her! Margherita is an excellent communicator with us and we found her to be very reliable. She is friendly, respectful and could quickly and easily understand our needs and wishes and those of our dogs. We look forward to seeing her again soon!
