About Daniela
Hola!
I'm Dani, and I look forward to meet your fur friends!
I live in Berlin Weissensee, in a spacious flat with a yard. I've been in Berlin since almost 5 years so I know the city quite well, and I love how pet-friendly is it. Sadly I can't commit to adopt my own right now, so I want to offer my petsitting services as they have always been an important part of my life, and I extremely miss their energy and company. Life without animals feels so empty to me D:
In short words, I lived literally my whole life with dogs and cats of different sizes.
Experience:
- For 26 years I lived with pets: German Shepards, Rottweillers, mixed breeds, medium and small size dogs. Also cats: male, female and their kittens :) Both in houses and apartments.
- Petsitting: In 2019 I petsitted for 3 months in Barcelona, taking care of two girls, a Pug and a Scottish Fold :)
- During a workaway in England I petsitted an old Golden Retriever for 3 weeks.
- In 2021 I fostered Dan, the Cyprus Cat, for two months until they found him a permanent home. He arrived all shy and scared; after one week he was watching series with me in the sofa; later he wouldn't leave me alone at all haha
For me is super engrained in my brain how and when to feed a pet, take them out for a walk, when and how to play with them, pet them or give them their space. Same with noticing if they might be unwell or acting strange.
Services:
- Boarding
- Dogwalking
- Petsitting
This is the story how I came to love animals so much, in case you're still unsure..
Before I was born my father adopted "Tizón", a mixed German Shepard.. For my sister and I, he was a member of our family. I had a really close bond with him, and he respected and took care of us in ways one see in movies. I'd get into his food pot and eat his homemade soup, and he would just stare at me, never complaining. Years later the kittens of our shy "Genta" would do the same, but Tizón was equally respectful to this new family members. He was so well trained by my dad.
My dad taught me to love, respect and take care of animals, but also how to educate them. We feed the stray dogs, shelter them during winter or foster, heal them and find them a home. I even studied Veterinary one semester (but later decided to drop out for other reasons). Many dogs and cats became our pets, always rescued (I come from Chile, where stray animals are a sad reality), and lived a life full of love and comfort until their death.
