My name is Alea and I am 25 years old. I am originally from Germany and moved to Wellington last November to do my Master's degree. I have been around pets my whole life. Growing up my family had a cat, a couple of hamsters, and a budgie. The only time I was not around any pets was when I moved away to study and I really miss spending time with a furry friend. I have gained many years of experience through pet sitting for my family, friends, and neighbours. Growing up my grandma had a dachshund that stayed with us often when she was away. Since I was 12, I have also taken in my aunt's two dogs whenever she was on vacation, taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them, and lots more. I also cared for my cousin's bunnies during her holidays, including the occasional visit to the vet. Moreover, from when I was 10 years old I regularly looked after my neighbour's six cats and nine lizards while she was on vacation. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Alea
