Nándor

Hi😊

I'm Nándi, I live in Maastricht and I'm currently a student at UCM.

I've had dogs all my life so it has been quite hard to be without them since I moved here from Hungary.

That is one of the main reasons why I chose to make a profile on pawshake and become dog sitter. I miss my dog (Csupor) a lot, if I had the possibility, he would be here with me now, but as my apartment does not allow any pets, I had to leave him home with my parents.... because of this rule I also cannot have your dog with me for a night or two, even though I'd absolutely loved to!

For me I wanted to use this app so I can still have some contact with dogs, to take care of them, walk them, maybe even teach them something new, but most importantly to have fun with them☺️

That is what I miss most about Csupor, he always could make my days better, happier just by existing and that is such a special gift that only dogs have!

What I can offer is walking your dog, I can do it daily or as many times a week you want to, but as my schedule changes every 2-3 months due to my courses also changing, I will only be able to keep to a certain timetable for that period. I can still continue walking your dog, but it might have to be at an earlier or later time. I know this is a hustle, but my university unfortunately works this way🥲

I can also visit your dog, if you need me to, usually once a day, but if the scheduling is right I can also do two :)

A visit would mostly mean, changing the water, giving food, playing a little, maybe having some lessons in tricks and things! whatever you and your dog would like 🙂

As for my experience I was around dogs my whole life so for me they are like friends in a way. I have always loved them infinitely :)

My first dog, who was a bernese mountain dog called Folti, was very easy to take care of. She just knew all the rules by herself and, as she was quite lazy, she never really caused any trouble. Still we loved her so much and, experience-wise I learned how to be with a dog in public. This means everything from walking on/off leash to traveling in cars, trains, metro. Also feeding her, doing the basic dog routine became a staple part of my life since childhood :)

As for my second dog, a Portuguese water dog, it was a whole different story😅. His name is Csupor and I think he was born crazy!

But I love him with all my heart even if currently he has to stay with my parents as I moved away. With him I became more of an expert on dog training. I read a couple of book, watched lots of videos and talked to many trainers with different styles of training. So while I am not a trainer I'm quite confident that I can teach the basics of dog training :) I also, again, did all the basics of a dog owner so I am quite experienced in taking care of them.

Having two dogs with such different characteristics and meeting many throughout my life makes me feel pretty comfortable with taking care of calm, crazy, lazy, or any other type of dog. Just not aggressive as I never had the chance to learn how to control them properly.

I also worked for a short period as a dog walker with a Pitbull. His name was Sunny and was very easy to take care of. I was his dog walker for about 2 months, I stopped because I moved back home, but I also learned a lot about taking care of pitbulls, who are usually one of the kindest dog breed there is 😊

i tried to write down everything that would be important to know, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
