Lindsey

I am an American expat living in Brussels. I began pet sitting professionally in 2015 while I lived and studied in Amsterdam and have been living in Brussels for 6 years now. I am a native English speaker, with a basic level of French and still learning! 

For several years I was an animal rights activist in New York and now consider myself an advocate. I have over 20 years experience living with dogs and cats, one-on-one basic training and caring for the health and well-being of many animals including dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and mice. I also have a wonderful kitty of my own who gets most of my attention these days, but I still love taking care of other animals. 

My goal is to provide an excellent service to families so that they are comfortable knowing their fur babies are happy and well cared for while they are away or busy with other responsibilities. I regularly provide updates with photos, videos, and a note about how your pet is doing in your absence. 

I find it hard not to love every animal I meet and I hope to become close friends with your furry loved one! 

PLEASE NOTE: As I am enrolled in a Master’s at the VUB and working at an NGO part-time (10 hours/week), my availability is less regular and I can provide care to pets with more notice, but generally stick to just a few regular clients so that I can be more regularly available to them. I can also try to recommend someone in my absence to ensure you have an alternate option for a sitter.
