About Melinda

My name is Melinda Badenhorst, I am 28 years old and originally from sunny South Africa. In 2020 I moved to Amsterdam and started a PhD position at Vrije Universiteit Medisch Centrum (VUmc) with a project topic in cancer research. 

I love Amsterdam and I enjoy living in the city a lot, however, the only thing missing in my life: pets! I love animals and they love me! Hopefully in the near future I can once again get a pet of my own, but until then I would love to take care of yours and have that animal connection that I miss. Back home in South Africa I had an adorable cat, called Kattie. I also have prior experience taking care of friend's and co-worker's pets, since I would always jump at the opportunity to be someone's pet sitter.

My daily working schedule is relatively flexible. I mostly determine my own work hours and could come to your home for a short visit essentially any time of the day. However, I am mostly free after hours and most weekends. Currently I am only accepting bookings with an address within 2km of my own home.

I can offer the following services at your home: daily visits to feed your cat, clean their litter boxes, play and cuddle with them and make them feel calm while you are away. Although I have more experience with cats, I do love dogs as well and would be happy to take care of and give your dog the attention it deserves. I am reliable, punctual, trustworthy and have good time management capabilities. I can assure you that in my care, your pet would be as happy upon your return as when they were before you left!

I am looking forward to meet you and your pet, to take care of them and give you peace of mind while you are enjoying some time away from home!

I have experience in pet care since I was very young and I had my own dogs and cats. I also have experience in volunteering at the local animal shelter, playing with and taking care of dogs. I am good with handling animals, and am not scared or frightened of them. I just love being with them and playing with them, especially cats.
