About Penelope

Hi there! I am Penelope (29, lawyer working in IJburg). I am from New Zealand but have moved to Postjesweg, Amsterdam in March 2023 to be with my Belgian partner.

I work 9am - 5pm in IJburg, and will be perfect company for your pets outside of those hours! If you're okay with it, I usually bring my partner along with me on housesits, so the pets get double the attention and double the love.

I am experienced in looking after dogs, cats and fish. I used the Pawshake platform regularly in New Zealand, but unfortunately it's not possible to transfer my profile to the Netherlands, so I've had to create a new profile. I have attached screenshots of my New Zealand petsitting reviews to my photos section.

**Please note I only accept bookings within Amsterdam**

DOGS
My experience ranges from timid, shy dogs to strong, fussy, hyperactive dogs. I love taking dogs for walks and having a play around. I have looked after dogs which aren't toilet trained yet, so that's not a biggie. However, your dog should be vaccinated, and be worm and flee-free.

CATS
Whether your cat is independent or needs some cuddles, I don't mind!

FISH
I grew up with an aquarium and have experience with freshwater fish.

HOUSESITTING DUTIES
I water the plants and ensure the the rubbish is taken out. Also happy to accept courier deliveries on your behalf.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for short notice bookings or emergencies if you need your pet looked after in a hurry.

Your pets will be safe, loved and receive LOTS of attention. I look forward to hearing from you.

- Penelope

It was so reassuring to know our cat was in such good hands when we were away. Penelope took great care of her, sent regular updates and we came home to a very happy cat :)

Maya and Quinn, 2023-10-16

Penelope was a fantastic pet and housesitter while we were away. She communicated with us quickly, effectively, and professionally, and was very pleasant to work with. She took excellent care of our dog, and sent just-frequent-enough updates to reassure us that all was going well. She was also a very respectful housesitter. We came home to a clean house, and she even started the sheets in the laundry before she left. I would absolutely recommend Penelope to anyone!
