What is your name?
How old are you?
What do you do in daily life? Work? Study? Hobby?
Home-based Graphic Artist and mom of 3 teenagers who love dogs.
Did you also have your own dog or dogs? If so what breed/crossbreed and what is his/her name?
What are the nicest character traits of your own dog?
Pippi really enjoys playing with all the host dogs. She is sweet and not dominant.
What was/were your cutest babysitting dog(s)? and why?
Hard to choose. But it is noticeable that there seems to be a special "click" with other rescue dogs.
Why did you start babysitting dogs through Petbnb?
We actually had room for a second dog but thought it would be more fun to take in dogs this way.
How do you find out if there is a good match with the dog and the owner during an introduction?
This is actually a combination of sensing and asking questions. I usually suggest a trial day of babysitting as well.
What is the most memorable/special situation you have experienced so far while babysitting?
One time I answered an owner's plea for us to please take care of the dog during her vacation. The dog always slept in bed with her... This resulted for us in 2 weeks of sleeping on the couch because the dog absolutely did not want to sleep alone. That happens once...
Did you also learn new things through babysitting?
Favorite dog walking spot & why?
The old railroad embankment behind our house. Here there is no traffic and they can run to their heart's content.
What tips & tricks would you pass along to other babysitters for good babysitting?
Take at least one big walk a day where they can run and run loose. Then the rest of the day they won't be a problem and the walks can be a little shorter.
What else would you like to add to Petbnb?
I would love to meet the people behind Petbnb in person one day as well. Surely we are putting together a very special product 🙂
