Hi there! My name is Emilia and I am from the Piedmontese countryside in Italy. Growing up in a rural area, I have been surrounded by animals my entire life! My journey with them goes far beyond cuddles: it’s built on real experience. From high school through university, I spent a lot of time volunteering at the Grugliasco animal clinic, where I learned how to care for pets with diverse medical and emotional needs. Living in the countryside, I also frequently took on the rewarding task of hand-rearing orphaned newborns (from weaning tiny kittens to caring for baby squirrels, badgers, and birds). Today, my life in Brussels is great, but it’s missing a "furry" element. Between a busy professional life and my boyfriend’s allergies, I can’t have an animal of my own, right now. That’s why I’m here! I am looking for the perfect compromise: pouring all my saved-up affection and expertise into looking after your pets. About my services I offer a reliable and highly experienced service tailored to your pet's routine: Home Visits & House Sitting: During home visits, I can stay 30 up to 60 minutes to ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. For overnight house sitting, I am happy to stay at your home for the full evening and night, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. Medical Care & Extras: Thanks to my time at the animal clinic, I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications if needed. I am also happy to help with small household tasks like watering plants or collecting mail while you are away. Safety First: During house sittings, I prioritize safety by strictly following your instructions regarding doors, alarms, and off-limit areas. When walking dogs, I always keep them on a lead unless in a securely fenced area or unless differently instructed by the owners. Availability: I am generally available afterwork (from 18:00), but I can also telework 3 times per week, meaning that in case of house-sitting I can be at your place from the morning (from 9:30). I am also available on weekends. I am reliable, energetic, and I honestly can’t wait to give your best friend all the care and attention they deserve! 🤗
