Hello; my name is Déspina!
I would be happy to take care of your beloved pets, while you are away, and make sure they receive their cuddles and treats.
I have 15+ years of being around and taking care of dogs, cats and (a personal favourite) hamsters. I simply love animals and how they mirror the playfullness and love of their caregivers. I had pets myself (but not in Amsterdam), so there is almost nothing that I haven't dealt with before. Your pets will be in good hands!
Since I am offering home boarding (day+night) and daycare, here are some practical details that you might want to know:
- I live in Amsterdam West, in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment, across the street from Westerpark, which has a great dog walking area.
- I mostly work from home, with my animal-loving partner, so your pet will have company during the working hours for sure.
- I will take your dog for 3-4 walks per day for stretching and the usual.
- I only take one pet per time (or a pair, but from the same owner), so it/they will have my full attention.
Ensuring the best possible pet sitting for your buddie:
- Guest pets are welcome to sleep in the living room but I would encourage you to bring their bed and toys, so they feel comfortable in the new environment.
- While pet sitting, I will send daily updates, so you have peace of mind and a window on how much fun your pet's vacations are.
- Let's arrange a meet and greet, before booking, always better for your pet to stay with someone they met before, isn't it?
Regarding my home boarding and daycare rates:
The rate for pet sitting was carefully chosen, so it makes sense for me to provide a service that I enjoy, and take care of your dog like I would like mine to be taken care of. For that:
- My dog boarding rate is 45€ per day, including the 21% VAT and the 18% Pawshake platform charges. This means that I keep 30.5€ per day.
- My daycare rate is 35€ per day, including the 21% VAT and the 18% Pawshake platform charges. This means that I keep 21.5€ per time.
- Sadly, I don't feel comfortable arranging last minute pet sittings, if I haven't met you/your pet already.
Cheers,
Déspina
