I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Ukraine, I was always surrounded by dogs and learned early on how to care for them, play with them, and understand their needs. They’ve always been a part of my life, and it’s only natural for me to continue spending my time with them here in New Zealand. Since moving to New Zealand about three years ago, I’ve looked after quite a few dogs, many of whom stayed with me in my home. I treat every dog like family and do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Our home has a fully fenced yard where they can play freely, and we have two living areas, so the dogs can relax indoors or go outside whenever they like. Being with dogs brings me joy. I simply love caring for them, and I’m always happy to welcome more furry friends into our home.
