Valerie

Hi,

My name is Valérie, I am 36 years old, living in Brussels in a nice studio located close to the botanical garden.
I fluently speak ENG, FR, NNL and DE and I have a driver licence.
I offer my services as an animal sitter. I'd love to keep your loved 1s and/or take care of them while you were absent or not disposable to do so.
I am particularly at ease with dogs, cats, horses, NACs, turtles and fish - actually : i love all animals.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

I imagine we could start with a first meeting: the owner, the animal and myself in order to get to know each other and to discuss what the needs and specificities would be like.
it will also be an opportunity to see if the animal and myself we could connect or feel each other or feel comfortable.

Mainly the Services that I offer are :
- Walk / ride
- Home boarding of the animal at my place
- animal sitting : Care of the animal and its premises at the animal's home
- No restrictions on on-call time: longer periods or punctual occasions are both possible
- other

I would be favourable to move within The region of Brussels. I tend to fix Prices according to the nature of the request, time , distance (km) ... always previously discussed and confirmed by both - the owner and myself.

At my home, I have 2 small aquariums with Chinese veil gold fishes and a land tortoise that lives outside in an enclosure on my terrasse. I have a comfortable place for cats and dogs to chill and sleep, some green areas full of plants for birds and other tropical animals to stay. A Terrarium that can be used for reptiles and tiny pets.
A nice and huge Terrasse for some fresh air grasping.

I have always been surrounded by animals throughout my life and in my various residential situations such as dogs, cats, birds, rodents ...and feel very comfortable and at ease to share life with them.

I grew up on a farm where we had plenty of domestic and farm animals which I have always taken care of with the greatest care and passion: chickens, rabbits, cows, cats, sheep, hamsters ....
We had 3 dogs: Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher and a Bichon Frisée.

Throughout my youth, for more than 15 years, I practiced horseback riding and was busy as a volunteer and member of the horse stable with taking care of the horses and participating as a teacher at the riding school.
From a young age I have been surrounded by various animals and learned to understand them and to be a trustworthy person with whom they can feel safe and feel loved.

I quickly recognise concerns and potential sticky situations and I am used to handle them in a appropriate way. I have a few numbers of (specific) veterinaries and people I know to contact if I need help.
I love being in contact with animals and feel like I easily connect and get along with them.
I experience great happiness and pleasure in taking care of them and spending time with them.

I deeply value respect for the essence or the very nature of the animal and tend to treat and approach it in its most natural way.
