Hi! Well, what can I say? I simply love being around animals in general. I've had two dogs growing up and one of my dreams from childhood was to have a refugee full of them. This has (still) not occured, though. In 2014 while travelling in Peru, I adopted a puppy and went with him all over. We shared boat, bus and truck rides and eventually got back together to my home country, Argentina. In 2016 I went to Ecuador stayed there. My dog, Huayro is now part of my parent's household. I've always felt a bit of a need to be around dogs whenever there was a chance, after that. Now, I am living in Brussels with Nina, my Ecuatorian cat. Spend time with dogs and plus, get some money out of it? I'm in! Just recently I began to walk two dogs in the city of Maastricht and today I discovered this site, and I just think it is amazing to be able to provide such a reciprocal service for another person. Let's get in contact and see if we are a good match with your dogs! I believe in creating a nice bond with them and I understand the need of their humans to feel confident about the person who will be walking and taking care of them. I have experience taking care of friend's dogs when they've had the need to, staying over at their places mainly. Also, having had my fair share of solo backpacking travelling through South America, I've had the chance to meet and bond with many dogs (in Argentina, Bolivia and Peru it's normal to find free dogs roaming around the small towns). One crazy story: in 2012 I was in a small town in the mountains called San Isidro de Iruya I had to make my way back to the main town, which was 2 or 3 hours down the valley and at this point, the river had grown quite a bit and to reach my destination, I had to cross it many times. There was no way around this and felt almost and impossible task. A german Shepard kind of dog had been following me around this town since I arrived and when he saw me leaving, came along with me. When the dog realized my hesitation to cross the river, he simply walked towards the water and signaled me where I should place each of my steps on the firm rocks which were invisible under the stream of water. With this dog's aid I crossed the river multiple times and got to my destination safely.
