About Katharin

Hi there! My name is Katharin, I'm 26 years old and I've been living in Amsterdam for five years now. I work full-time, but I work from home most days and my dog-loving partner is always home whenever I have to go to the office. Before moving here, I lived in Australia for a few years - which is where I fell in love with a life filled with dogs. I always asked friends and family whether I could take out their dogs for walks, to the beach or simply play and cuddle with them at home. The happiness and love that dogs radiate is what I love most about them and I definitely believe that dogs are simply too good for this world. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to have a dog in my apartment permanently, which is why I'm now looking for other ways to fill that gap in my heart through dog sitting! 

My experience 

Besides my two year experience of being highly active on dog-sitting websites (50+ dogs over the past two years), I've always been looking for ways to be around dogs. Whether it be walking the neighbourhood dogs as a kid, looking after freshly adopted dogs in host families or being the dog sitter for friends' and family's dogs when they're busy.

My apartment & surroundings

As I live very close to Westerpark, I live in the ideal environment for dog walking - including off-leash areas. I live in an apartment on the fourth floor together with my boyfriend, who is also a dog lover. Please note that there is no elevator, but I would be happy to carry small and medium-sized dogs if they can't walk up and down the stairs.

Next steps 

What's important to me if you were to entrust your animal to me - in whatever capacity this may be - is that you're open and honest about everything that I may need to know about e.g. the dog's health and behaviour, so that we can both make an informed decision. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully becoming your dog's new best friend very soon!

Katharin and her partner are so good with our golden retriever, and we love absolutely working with them. Great communication and fun photos throughout the stay. Our dog will sprint up the stairs when we arrive because she is so excited to see them! Would highly recommend.

Katharin was great. Trust was all I absolutely needed, especially because Limon is a puppy and this was my first time letting her stay at another person's place while I'm far away.

She was really professional, calm and visibly experienced. I recommend Katharin if you're looking for someone who you can really trust and take care of your child.
