About Me
I’ve had contact with animals all my life, starting with my first pet when I was 5. He was called Pepi, a cat we rescued from the street, and after him dozens of animals followed, from injured wild birds to horses. Animal caretaking is something it’s embedded in me since my early age and I’ve always enjoyed very dearly. Not only that, but I count with all these years of passion and expertise in it. My love and respect for animals is such that I try to live a lifestyle that doesn't involve their suffering, that's why I chose to become a vegetarian and I’m a vegan in the making.
Education
2013-2015
Veterinary Medicine
University of Buenos Aires
I completed up to year two of the career of Veterinary Medicine back in Buenos Aires. I have attended a Veterinary Auxiliary course at the Centro Médico Escuela in Buenos Aires which gave me the knowledge to be able to assist your pet if an emergency were to arise, as well as being able to pinpoint if something out of the ordinary were happening.
2021-2022
CPR on animals
ACES
I also have an international certification from ACES which enables me to perform CPR on cats and dogs, as well as providing first aid (the QR code of my diploma can be scanned for verification). This means that I have the skills to be able to assist your pet in case of a life-threatening situation.
2021-2022
Animal behaviour
University of Wageningen
I've completed a course on Animal Behaviour given by the University of Wageningen, in which I learnt key contents regarding how animals act and interact with their fellow mates and their environment. I’ve also done a course on Animal Behaviour in Conservation given by the same university.
2023- Now
I’m currently enrolled in these courses that will soon begin:
‣ Introductory course on Nutrition for Cats & Dogs
‣ Puppies and Dogs, Behaviour and Training course
‣ Fear free shelter programme
‣ Liver and kidney toxins in cats and dogs
Feel free to check my diplomas and certificates here
Work Experience
I have worked as a dog walker/sitter for 4 years in my hometown, having had more than 15 doggie clients and really good relationships and reviews from their owners, and I even still have contact with them nowadays.
At the same time, I worked as a dog groomer in several pet shops. So despite having had different job positions, it was really important for me to have contact with animals on a daily basis.
I came to The Netherlands in 2018. And in 2021 I discovered I could work as a pet sitter here as well and so I have been doing so ever since.
Volunteer Work
My love for animals takes no days off and I love to be able to help animals in need, wherever it is that I am. Their well-being is super important to me. For example, while I was on holidays in Sicily, I came across a large group of stray feral cats. Since I met them, bringing them food every day became a key pit stop during my stay there.
At home, if I ever come across an injured animal, I make sure I can help by providing a safe space for him to rest and seek medical attention if needed.
​
I also do volunteer work for the local shelter in Eindhoven. I’m a volunteer photographer for ROZE (Regionale Opvang Zwerfdieren Eindhoven) and my task is to take pictures of the animals that are ready for adoption. In this way, the pictures can be uploaded to the website of the shelter and the animals can find a forever home.
