About Karen

Hi there, I grew up on a farm. I've raised and cared for everything- from goldfish to baby birds, to goats. We always had cats AND dogs when I was growing up. In my professional life, I work as an executive assistant.

I had my own fluffy shadow - he's the cat you see in the pics. His name was Snoose Poose. Unfortunately, he died from a brain aneurism in his sleep suddenly on 2 January 2023. He was 14 years old. I miss him and having "animal energy" around the house terribly, but I'm not ready to have another pet just yet, so a friend suggested I become a part time pet sitter 🙂

🏡 I'd love to welcome your pet into my home. I have a small apartment, with a balcony. It's on the first floor and looks onto an interior courtyard area.

🐈‍⬛ For cats, I have a litter-box, beds and scratching posts and a couple of cupboards that I can leave open so they can hide if they like while adjusting to the new space. I'm happy to have a video call with you to show you my place before we agree on a booking

🐕 For dogs that need walkies, I live close to the Vondelpark. I usually have to work from the office a couple of days a week now, so your dog must be OK with being left alone for 5-6hrs at a time (without barking, or scratching at doors), I normally come home early afternoon on my 'office' days. I do not take dogs without a meet and greet first

🐍 I am also open to welcoming exotic pets too, I've had limited experience with these (corn snake only) so I would need some guidance but I adore reptiles of all kinds.

⛑️ I have not administered anything more than pill-based medication to dogs and cats, but if your animal has special needs, I would be more than happy to work with you and learn their needs to ensure they remain happy and healthy while they stay with me.

❎ I never take more than one household's animals at a time - so don't worry, your pet(s) will never feel like they're at a kennel/cattery when they're with me!

✉️ Feel free to drop me a message with any questions you may have. I look forward to chatting with you and meeting your pet-baby!
