It’s the first day of the week and I happily headed for the first customer of the day, which was a meeting at Lauttasaari. I was a bit nervous because I had just started working at Tassuvahti, even though I have a background as a dog sitter of 14 years.

It was March and I was looking again at the current job market situation. Time went by while browsing the websites until I came across Tassuvahti. I wondered could it be real.
