Hi, I am Artie. I am currently studying to become a high school maths teacher and work online or around Melbourne as a tutor of Arabic, maths and computer networks. Besides riding my bike, I enjoy long walks both in nature and in the city, meeting new people and learning new things. I love animals and did full-time, long-term pet sitting across Melbourne throughout 2024. It was great meeting a new pet or more every few weeks. My wife and I would love to have a pet of our own, but we have a lot of travel planned for the coming years, so our only option is other people's pets :-) I enjoy dogs' company, whether on the couch or taking them along when walking, both for company and for a sense of purpose. I walk slowly and enjoy giving dogs time to sniff and make path choices. In terms of experience, I regularly administered oral medication to dogs and cats and followed special vet instructions when needed. I also did a lot of house sitting and am respectful of people houses and send regular photos for assurance.
