Description
Dogsitter needed for two Dalmatians. We are a family with two grown up kids and need a very reliable dog lover for dogsitting once in a while. We live in POTSDAM, right next to Berlin. Please don‘t contact us, if you only want a free accommodation to visit Berlin and don‘t have any experience in dogsitting!!! Our two Dalmatians are very cute inside the house, but outside they can pull on the leash very hard and they are strong! Besides that one of them is very frightened by all kind of noises. We don’t have a garden, where you can let them run free. If they go for a walk, you need to take them on the leash and we live in the middle of the city, which means there are cars and people all around, as soon as you step out of the door. Therefore you definitely must have experience with big dogs and I only want passionate dog lovers!!! My dogs are my babies! I could bring them to a dog hotel, but I think the dogs would feel much more comfortable staying in their own home. During our absence you would have to be there for the dogs all the time. Of course you can leave the house for 2-3 hours, but you cannot plan any sightseeing trips. You should arrive a few days before, so the dogs can get used to you and I can show you everything and you can stay a few days longer, so you can explore the area. Besides being there for the dogs, taking them for walks, feeding and cuddling them, you don’t have to do anything else. We will provide the food for you.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
House sitting
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will be able to see Potsdam, which is a very pretty city with castles, pretty parks and lots of historical buildings. And of course you can explore Berlin, which is only an hour train ride away.
Help
Passionate dog care, which means take them out 4 times a day and feed them 3 times a day, plus lots of cuddle time on the sofa, so they don’t feel left alone. Preferably someone who worked with dogs before already.

Accommodation
We own an apartment in an old house right in the city center of Potsdam. When we are gone, you will have the apartment for yourself. It could be possible that our daughter will be there for a few days.
What else ...
I only answer to emails showing what kind of dog experience you have. I am looking for 150 % reliable people, because I will not be able to return after 3 days, because you find out it’s not the kind of Job you like.
