About Jeroen
Hi there!
My name is Jeroen, a 31-year-old Dutch-born global citizen, and I want to be your pet’s new best buddy!
As you see I'm new on Pawshake, however, I am a huge animal fan and always take care of pets of friends, I also worked for 4 years in a pet-store. I love spending quality time with pets, playing, hanging out, and lounging, and I look forward to getting to know your pet!
I study full time at University of Amsterdam and I always try to be flexible to accommodate your schedule.
Introduction to my Pawshake services:
🏡 House visits:
Duration + 30 minutes.
I like to hear your routine with your pet so I can try to make them comfortable, while also keeping it fun! I will feed, clean and play. I can also make longer visits if preferred. I ask that you share instructions so I can safely and easily access your home, as well as provide the food and cleaning supplies in a convenient location. When house sitting, I offer these standards:
* Cats - spend quality time, clean litter tray
* Dogs - spend quality time, take the dogs on walks
* Price includes taking care of up to 5 pets, please inquire
* Clean up any messes made by pets
* Collecting mail and taking out the garbage (if required)
* I will send you pictures of your pet if you like to have updates
* For additional requests, please ask!
Dog walking:
Duration 30+ minutes.
I will pick up and drop off your friend. I love going to doggy parks on walks. I do not have a car, but I enjoy long walks! I ensure to keep your dog and your house safe (only going to areas you approve; locking doors during and after walks) during walks. I ask that you provide any walking equipment, such as the leash or doggy bags. In return I uphold these standards:
* Walking and spending quality time with your dog. Tell me their favourite places and I'm happy to take them there! Is there a favourite toy?
* If it is too cold or too hot to walk your dog, alternative forms of physical exercise or enrichment for your dog if you agree
* No off lead dog play unless allowed by you in appropriate areas
* I will send you pictures of your pet if you like to have updates
* For additional requests, please ask!

I am happy to refer you to former owners which I have house sit (I'm new to Pawshake so my references are not here yet!). I can also perform household chores, to ensure you come home to clean house, as well as to a happy pet! I ask that you share instructions so I can safely and easily access your home.
