Why choose me as your pet's new friend? 🐶🐈

I am Elise, a designer and photographer based in Amsterdam Oost 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 I can offer my service mostly on (long) weekends:

- dog walking or dog/cat visits around Amsterdam Oost or De Pijp

- daycare for a few hours at my house OR at your home if you leave close enough or if you have a puppy

- pet sitting/housesitting at your house generally for one dog only. If you have 2+ dogs then we can discuss the additional costs. For one dog I also do boarding at my house (small dogs, potty-trained, preferably hypoallergenic).

I always like to meet beforehand and do a tryout before and make sure it's a good match! Allergic to cats lately so only if we can keep distance in your house :(

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. You can see them all in my photo gallery :)
