About Sophia
I always have a smile on my face, patient, enthusiastic, empathetic.
Next to having owned quite a bit of different species (fancy rats, campbelli hamster, cockatiel, jack russels,....), I've also studied animal care in Belgium and work as a vet technician. I'm very set on giving the absolute correct care for the species in question and whatever health conditions the pet might have.
So, doggywalks/play will depend on the dog (senior, pup, big, small, active, chill,...). As a vet tech I also deal with the more cranky, nervous or anxious pets. So I have all the patience in the world to make sure your pet gets what it needs. Meaning, next to feeding and watering the animals, I can give oral medication, prescribed injections (for example vitamin B12), cut nails, give a brush,...
Due to experience, I'm highly versatile and due to being a petmomma myself, I completely understand the stress that comes with leaving your baby's care to someone else. So, I don't mind giving daily updates (pictures/videos).
I'm comfortable with feeding live insects (and gutloading them), feeding frozen prey, hand feeding most animals, feed baby animals (with a syringe, bottle,...). For further specific tasks, feel free to ask.
Specialty: cats/dogs, small pets (rodents, bunnies,...), and exotics (birds, reptiles, insects,...).
Range: all species (except humans)
Language: Nederlands, English, Afrikaans
