Hi there!
What I offer:
Cat sitting - I go into visit for up to 3 hours a day to hang out with your friendly feline, feeding, watering, exercising and cuddling as required 😁 This can also be just only 1 hour depending on the needs of your babies. I send daily updates with pictures, boomerangs, videos of your baby/babies so you can see exactly how they are doing and the love they are getting. I also make sure the litter area is fully swept/hoovered to keep everything clean. I know how particular my cat is about this 😼 (If I’m there for long stays I also water plants 😉).
Thanks for checking out my page. My name is Hilary and I've been a proud cat pawrent for 13 years. Burtie is my pride and joy although a little on the naughty side ;) 😼
I grew up with both cats and dogs as a child. As a pawrent myself I know how hard it is to find someone to look after my baby when I'm away. I would like to offer my services for pawrents in Amsterdam who need a caring, kind surrogate to look after their little smunchkins while they are at work or on hols.
I got Burtie when he was 7 weeks old so I have experience with kittens all the way through to older cats, Burtie is currently 13 years old, however I had cats growing up too, McCavity and Lulu and they saw the grand old age of 18. Our dogs Kimi and Bruce also lived til rip old ages and Oscar who you’ll meet further down the page I walked him since he was a pupper. So I can administer medicine with a practiced hand and sneaky techniques should that be required!
KITKATS:
The handsome tuxedo cat is my beloved Burtie, he loves cuddles, treats and sleeping! ;) The gorgeous blondie Kit Kat is Stevie, she was one of my regular clients when we could all travel! She is such a sweet pea, loves skipping across the rooftops to see the birds and come back in for some snuggles. The other little black cat is Nori, a beautiful teeny tiny rescue cat who likes to have her food at very exact times in the day due to what she went through as a baby. Her favourite toy is a feather catcher, endless hours of fun! You’ll also see a few more little angels who I’ve been lucky enough to look after recently and hang out with 😻
Quite a few of my clients have asthma so I’m very practised in giving asthma tablets and face inhaler. 😺
DOGGOS:
The handsome doggo in my pictures is Oscar, I used to dog sit him and walk him during the week before he moved back to the UK last year. Boy do I miss him! We loved walking round Vondelpark together, chasing the duckies, seeing other doggos for games of tag and ending up at the Blauwe Theehuis for a well earned bowl of water. 🐶 Although now I focus specifically on the KitKats 😸
ME:
A little bit about me; I've lived in Amsterdam 8 years now and know the city pretty well I hope! I'm originally from the UK and came here as a Buyer working in fashion. I have now set up my own life/career coaching business and work for myself. I love getting out in the park walking and miss walking Oscar. Sadly my cat Burtie isn’t looking for a brother or sister to join our family so I am happily offering my services here! 🙋🏻♀️
If you think I sound a good fit for your friendly little fur babies, drop me a line and I look forward to meeting you both/all! :)
Hilary is a very kind person with a lot of love for animals. She took care of our two cats when we were on holiday and our cats got a lot of attention. On the photo's and video's she send every visit it looked as if the cats did not even miss us. She takes time for the animals every visit and especially the first visit she spends time to get to know the cats. And if unexpected problems happen, she has a solution.
It felt very safe to have her in our home and I would recommend Hilary to the world!
Hilary is great. We felt very comfortable to leave our cats under her care. We will definitely contact her again in future travels.
