Dear Dog Owner,

I'm Zoé, a dog enthusiast with 25 years of experience in caring for dogs, currently studying to be a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant. Upon my studies and having owned two dogs myself and looked after many others, I understand the unique joy and responsibility of being a dog owner.

While my beloved Staffordshire terrier, my furry companion for 12 years, is no longer with me, my passion for dogs continues. Although I'm not ready to bring a new dog into my life just yet, I find immense joy in spending time with dogs and I offer valuable training insights to fellow dog owners upon request for free, as a part of my services.

My approach to dog care is both firm and playful. I believe that consistency, positive reinforcement, and discipline are essential, complemented by a good dose of movement, cuddles, and play. Whether your dog is a cuddly Staffordshire terrier, a friendly Labrador, a playful golden retriever, an indefatigable pointer, or any other mid-size or large breed, I'm here to provide the care and guidance they need, following your usual routines.

While I specialize in working with very strong, muscular breeds (I don't like to call them fighting dogs), I recognize that all dogs share similar needs and require the same consistency. I consider myself more than just a dog sitter—I'm here to assist you in improving your dog's behavior through my current understanding of dog training, psychology, and behavior.

❗ IMPORTANT ❗

🐶 Please introduce your dog when you're contacting me for the first time.
👋 A meet & greet is necessary before the confirmation of the first booking. This is important for you in order to get to know me, important for your dog that I earn their trust before being alone with me, and important for me to ask questions and take notes about your daily routine, your dog's past, and their behavior.
🚗 As I own a car, I offer pick-up and drop-off services upon request, for an extra fee.
🏠 I live alone in a 3-room apartment on the 4th floor, with an elevator. Dogs are allowed in all the 3 rooms.
💼 As I am currently in the process of a career change transitioning to a Professional Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant career from the Sales & Marketing field after a burnout, I am unemployed at the moment, with a focus on studying and gaining more experience with dogs. Therefore I am usually at home and I have a lot of time and motivation to bond with your dog.
📷 I send photos regularly and I write a summary of your dog's stay and my experience with them.
✨ Grooming services are available upon request, for an extra fee.
📄 Please prepare your dog's documentation before our appointment. I never needed them, but it is always safer to have them in case of emergency.
☝️ To ensure that each dog receives my full attention, I only take on one dog at a time, except for dogs that live in the same household.

If you share my beliefs in the importance of consistency and positive reinforcement, and if you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and educated dog sitter, I'd be delighted to meet you and your furry friend.

Thank you for reading my introduction, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.

Warm regards,
Zoé
