My name is Melinda Badenhorst, I am 31 years old and originally from sunny South Africa. In 2020 I moved to Amsterdam and started a PhD position at Vrije Universiteit Medisch Centrum (VUmc) with a project topic in cancer research. 

I love Amsterdam and I enjoy living in the city a lot, however, the only thing missing in my life: pets! I love animals and they love me! Hopefully in the near future I can once again get a pet of my own, but until then I would love to take care of yours and have that animal connection that I miss. Back home in South Africa I had an adorable cat, called Kattie. I have been a pet sitter on Pawshake since 2022 and have had the great opportunity to take care of many fury friends

My daily working schedule is relatively flexible. However, I am mostly free after hours and most weekends. Currently I am only accepting bookings with an address within 2km of my own home.

I can offer the following services at your home: daily visits to feed your cat, clean their litter boxes, play and cuddle with them and make them feel calm while you are away. I am reliable, punctual, trustworthy and have good time management capabilities. I can assure you that in my care, your pet would be as happy upon your return as when they were before you left!

I am looking forward to meet you and your pet, to take care of them and give you peace of umind while you are enjoying some time away from home!
