Hello! I am an animal-loving Finn living in De Pijp in central Amsterdam. I recently finished my studies at UvA and currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, which means I can give your pet plenty of time, attention and company. I speak English and Finnish! I have always grown up surrounded by animals and absolutely love having them around. I have a 10-year-old cat called Tito who currently lives in Finland with my family. Our family also had a lovely 13-year-old dog named Pulla, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago. In total, we have had 4 cats and 3 dogs, all with their own personalities, breeds, sizes and needs. Because of this, I am comfortable and happy around all kinds of animals. I offer doggy daycare at my home as well as pet care in the owner’s home. At my home, I can provide your dog with company throughout the day, walks, feeding, playtime and lots of attention. I live in a small apartment, so I am especially happy to discuss beforehand whether my home is the right fit for your dog. I also have steep stairs, so for bigger, older or less mobile dogs, I am always happy to talk through the setup and make sure everyone is comfortable. If your pet is happier in their own familiar environment, I can also come to your home for walks, feeding, company and general care, either during the day or overnight. I understand that every pet is different, and I always follow the routines and wishes of the owner as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, cuddly or needs a little extra patience, I want them to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am used to the everyday routines that come with taking care of pets, and for me the most important part is simply making sure your pet is happy, comfortable and well looked after. I would love to get to know them and give them plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to have a chat about what would work best for you and your pet. I’d be very happy to hear from you! :)
