I looking for someone who’s able to look after my flat/house and my older husky when I'm not at home. One of my Husky (Sydney) left me lin 2023 due to illness and a second one, Hinata, l just lost her in 2024.
You should like outdoor activity by any kind of weahter condition. Akamaru, my last Husky getting 15 years old in Augsut this year. Isen't any more hard to walk him , it's a kind of relaxed now.
You will have the opportunity to learn a new language(s). I living in a quiet area next to the Wild Life protected area behind the Zurich Airport where the people speaks German. I am able to communicate English, German, French and Portuguese.
Importantly:
Depending of the season and also of the age of Akamaru, the walk is dependening of his dsaily condition.
I looking for someone who can stay long term.
The place where i live is quiet and by Public transportation about in 30min away from the City of Zurich.
I do not answer any requests without picture on your profile.
