Hi fellow dog (and cat) lovers!

I am currently a psychology master's student at the University of Amsterdam. I'm passionate about all animals. People often ask if you are a dog or cat person, but I definitely love any and all fur babies. I am choosing to pet sit while studying out of pure love for hanging out with animals while also ensuring their happiness and safety. I see animals as friends. I grew up with both cats and dogs; I have great experience with both (I'm 27 years old and have had pets since I was 7). I've also babysat several pets for friends and family for shorter and longer periods, both small and large, adopted and rescued. I am able to offer dog walking, home visits, and home boarding and daycare if you are out of town. I'm VERY flexible! Whether you need me for a short time, a few hours or multiple days, this can be arranged. I've also lived in many parts of Amsterdam by now, so I am quite familiar with the parks and the city in general, so your pet will be safe with me! 

Overall, I would love to spend time with your pet while you are away! I am very attentive, caring, loving and patient with animals. I love going to the park with pets and throwing around the ball or walking them around town; whatever makes them the happiest. If they are not off-leash trained, I'm more than happy to take them to a fenced in park too! I mostly just miss being around animals as I'm a student living in a city right now and unable to have my own and would love to spend time with yours! Above all, I will treat your pets as if they were my own and more. 🐶❤

I am able to offer dogwalking, pet sitting (in your own home or mine), or drop ins to check in on your pet! 

For dog walking: I could offer ~ 3 walks a day, depending on the day

For dog sitting: I am able to do one day if it is in my home, due to having one roommate, but can do longer periods in your own home (1-2 weeks).

For dropping in to check on your pet: I could offer 1-3 drop ins per day, depending on the distance. I currently live in Amsterdam West, right below Erasmuspark near Mercatorplein. I can do multiple drop ins a day if you are on the west side of town or in Zuid or closer to Westerpark or the center. If you are in De Pijp or East, I may only be able to offer 1-2 drop ins per day to check on your pet. This would include feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside for some time, for anywhere between 1-2 hours.
