Why choose me as your pet's new friend? 🐶🐈🙋♀️
I am Elise, a freelance designer and photographer based in Amsterdam Oost super close to De Pijp who loves dogs and cats and has experience with dog/cat sitting & walking. Knowing how difficult it is to find a petsitter, I joined Pawshake in the summer of 2022 to help out dog/cat parents when they need a well-deserved holiday🏝 or when they need to be in the office, go to an event etc.
Availability ✅
I live in Amsterdam Oost close to De Pijp and work remotely most days so I can offer:
- dog walking around Amsterdam Oost or De Pijp. I can also go to other neighbourhoods for multiple set days (dog walking)
- work & spend time with your dog/cat at your home for a few hours (daytime care)
- pet sitting/housesitting in Amsterdam for multiple days. I can go to Haarlem/The Hague/Utrecht as well (Price is then excluding transportation). Price is generally for one dog (+1 cat) only. If you have 2+ dogs then we can discuss the additional costs. I always like to meet beforehand and do a tryout before and make sure it's a good match!
Background & Experience 👩🏫
Since I was little I have always had dogs around, from a Terrier, German Shepherd, strays from Romania, and a Miniature Poodle, so I learned from a young age about different breeds, dog body language, personalities, and behaviors.
Living in The Netherlands for a few years now, I occasionally was able to help friends, colleagues, and people from the Expats with Dogs in Amsterdam FB community when they needed a dog walker or pet sitter. Some of the dogs I have taken care of were rescued dogs from Hungary & Ukraine, a little French Bulldog mommy and her young puppies, Australian Terrier, a Chihuahua, etc. I also had a good time taking care of cats! You can see them all in my photo gallery :)

Elise was absolutely great with our two Iggies. She spent an evening with them, took them out for a walk. And handled them really well considering they are both reactive. Elise was great at communicating and sent us pics and updates. We would love to have Elise sit our babies again. We came home to two happy and calm doggos.
Our little Poppy who can be anxious when sleeping at a new place got the best treatment from Elise. She was reassuring with us and definitely took the best care of Poppy. I recommend her 100% if you want to have your dog in good hand. Poppy will definitely be happy to be back!
