Hi, my name is Erica. I have been a cat sitter for many years, and now with Pawshake over a year. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, bearded dragons, turtles, snakes, rabbits, chickens and worms. I moved to Amsterdam two years ago from the US. I worked in the education department of a zoo in Brooklyn a few years ago, and loved to introduce kids to our education animals. My professional background is in environmental education- I have worked at urban farms, botanical gardens, environmental education centers, and other non profit organizations that explore ecosystems with children. I love all creatures large and small, and I'm not afraid when things get dirty.
I offer pet sitting at your home, and I can host cats and other small animals at my home as well. I can feed, change water and litter, play with, and give lots of love to your pet while you are away. I have experience sitting for pets that need medication or extra care as well. I take my time, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable. People tell me I have calm energy, and animals generally like me. I really enjoy being around all animals, but cats are my favorite.
When you leave your pet with me you won't have to worry about him/her getting enough love. And if you want, I'm happy to send daily pictures to help you stay connected.
I am open to overnight stays outside of Amsterdam as well, especially if you live by the beach!
2nd time getting Erica's help to care for my two cats! Erica is simply one of the best cat sitters around - she took time to spend with our cats, provided daily updates, and everything else (handover & takeover of keys, attending to special dietary requirements) was very well taken care of. Highly recommend!
Erica was lovely! My first booking with Pawshake and she made everything so simple and easy. She gives daily updates, sent pictures and I came home to a very happy cat. Both my cat Amber and I would be delighted to book you again!
