After working as a marine engineer for the last 20 years and with 40 looming, I decided to give it up and change completely to work full time with animals which I love, so I can be available anytime of day and at short notice. I have previously owned a border terrier, border collie, black Labrador and Lab/Rottweiler cross, and currently two Maine Coon cats. I am reliable and am used to a position of responsibility, I love being outdoors and I love taking care of animals and providing for their needs. I am flexible in my approach, and can tailor the care to suit you and your pet‘s needs and requirements. I can continue your rules and training if needed, and am able to control and discipline to the level you require. For dog walking I can tailor routes to match your own or to avoid areas or situations your dog finds unpleasant or stressful. For cat care I can provide play and stimulation to match what they are used to normally. I offer overnight stays In your home so your pet is used to their own environment, if they are nervous or have social requirements I will tailor the stay to meet their needs as needed, and you will receive regular updates if you wish. I live near Leidseplein and Vondelpark and can easily travel to areas of the city on my bike. No breed is unwelcome.
I left my two cats with Ken two times already. Besides the great service he provides he managed to get their thrust (they are very shy and afraid of everything).
It’s always stressful to leave your pets behind, however you know they are in good hands with Ken.
Highly recommend Ken.
Ken took care of our guinea pig Blondie while we were away over Christmas. We booked quite short notice so it was a huge relief to find Ken. He sent photos and videos and it was great we didn't need to worry about anything. Ken is friendly, everything was easy to arrange and all went smoothly! Thanks so much!
