Dora

My name is Dora, I moved from Peru to Gent 6 years ago for my PhD studies in plant biology. I currently live together with my boyfriend in Gent in a cozy, two bedroom, apartment close to the Watersportbaan. We love pets, especially cats and small dogs with curly hair.

When I was a child I used to play with my pets, two dogs and one cat, in my garden. My family has always had the tradition of adopting small dogs with curly hair. We also adopted abandonned cats that were left behind in our neighborhood. I have owned pets for most of my life, I enjoy their company and the love they give us.

My boyfriend and I are planning to adopt a cat when we get a house with a garden. In the meantime we would love to take care of small dogs and cats in our spare time. Since we know that sometimes it is difficult to carry them on trips, or busy working days don't allow us to give them the attention that they need.

I offer to take care of cats and dogs in their homes, as I believe it is not always best for animals to leave their natural habitat when unnessecary, providing food and company when needed. I am also willing to host housetrained pets for few days or during nights in my own home. Practicalities/logistics can be discussed, but I don't have a driver's license.
