I used to do an internship in Prague Zoo where I adopt some animals now. I also worked in my university’s barn where we had farm and laboratory animals. I assisted with hippotherapy in Hucul Club for 6 years and I worked in pet shops for 2 years. I passed a canistherapy course in HelpPes organization and so many more. I take part in a few organizations for animals’ rights as a volunteer, I ride horses and I always use cosmetics not tested on animals. I have a Certificate of Professional Competence of the person responsible for the care of handicapped animals. Ocassionally I write articles about animals to several magazines. You can also see me in TV programs in some “hobby show”. In my free time, I take care of my pets, I study animal sciences by reading scientific papers and books, I draw and paint and I help in close vet clinic.

My story

pet sitting Prague, dog sitting PragueI love animals since ever. In my life, I have always been surrounded by many of them such as horses, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, parakeets or degus. I liked them all and I can not forget any of them. I dedicated my entire life to animals, they mean everything to me. Thanks to them I am the person who I am and do what I do. My love for animals has inspired me to pet sitting. I offer you pet sitting while you are on holiday and have nobody to take care of your animal. I make the effort to satisfy you and your pet, to be responsible, flexible, make quick arrangements and mainly provide professional care of your pet.
