I've recently finished my PhD and still looking for the right postgraduate job, and enjoying my time providing animal care until I find it 🙂 

I used to volunteer as a dog walker at Mikkelin Eläinsuojeluyhdistus, and I did 9 months of kotihoito for two big, animal-aggressive, sweet and derpy and difficult Russian wolfhounds (borzoi). I have a lot of experience with large, troublesome dogs, but I adore them all (cats and other pets too!)

My first two degrees were in biology, and I worked for 10+ years in pet stores in the USA. I first volunteered with the American SPCA when I was 7 years old, so I'm a lifelong animal person. If you've got a particularly difficult dog and you want some references, I have many.

**A practical note** I will be moving from Helsinki to Kuopio at the end of July 2024. If you need long-term house sitting, however, I am still planning to provide that service to clients in other cities if we can make arrangements for the travel cost. Let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do 🙂
