If you like this profile, remember the name "Klara V" and simply click here to tell us more about your pets and when you will need a sitter. StudentCo will let you know if this pet sitter is available (if not, you will be introduced to another, equally awesome, team member).
The next step is the meet-and-greet. This is an informal meeting at your home so you (and your pets!) can get to know a potential sitter. You are invited to discuss your needs and expectations openly, and then decide whether you would like to proceed with a booking. The meet-and-greet is 100% cost and obligation-free and will be arranged for a time that suits you.

Experience with animals and own pets
I have a great passion for horses and other animals. I have been blessed to have animals in my life for as long as I can remember, and have shared my home with small critters like hamsters and goldfish as well as dogs and cats. Milkshakes - my favourite kitty - was attacked by a dog when he was a young kitten and I rescued him and nurtured him to health. After that dramatic entrance into my life, he is still going strong! .
Klara dreams of working as a Physiotherapist to our national sports teams one day. To get to know her better, read her "Pet sitter of the week" interview here.
