Hello! My name is Inês, and I am originally from Portugal. I moved to the UK to obtain a Master of Archive Administration degree, and have been moving around Europe since. I am now working in Geneva and living in France, and would love to take care of your pet! My biggest motivator to petsitting here is that I cannot own any pets at the moment - all my cats are technically my family's cats now that I have moved out (they are 4 - see photograph of orange cat on my lap - that's my baby!). As you can imagine, it is quite hard to be so lonely so suddenly, so I will gladly do cheaper-than-average prices for the sake of having the opportunity to care for and have the company of your pet.
In regards to experience, I have always had cats - and I absolutely love them since I remember! Ever since I was little I was taught about them, their behaviours, their needs, their body language, and of course their care.
I also love dogs! When I was living in the UK, about a year and a half ago, me and my partner decided to volunteer at a local shelter, particularly because we both missed our pets very much. We walked at least one dog at least once a week (see photographs). Although I do love dogs, I did not have much experience before then; the experience was wonderful, however, and my partner taught me a lot about dog walking. In the meantime, a close family member got a Border Collie, and I petsit her and her son (as well as the family's 10 cats, plus strays) whenever required (see picture on the beach). With this particular dog, I am also responsible for making sure she takes her medication.
I can walk your dog, care for them in my house, and I am able to visit and care for your pet in your home - I can also do other housekeeping tasks while you are away, such as watering plants or picking up mail. However, please note that I work from 8h30 to 17h30 and am most likely unavailable during this period.
Feel free to send me a message - I would love to hear from you!
Inês

Thank you Inês for looking after our two cats.
They were very well taken care for.
I will definitely recommend Inês to my friends.
Ines and Sophia took great care of our two dogs while we were away and sent us some photos to let us know all was going well. We would be very happy to have them care for them again. They have a lovely animal-friendly apartment in central Ferney so very handy. Thank you Ines and Sophia!
