Currently, I accept weekend sits or longer days two weeks in advance. I have an existing client base already. Therefore, I am selective of adding new clients. I prefer creating and maintaining stable lasting relationships with your animal friend and you. :) With my new work, I am at the office 4 days a week. We can coordinate for longer sits.
Motivation/Motivatie/Motivación
I really enjoy sharing time with animals like cats and dogs. It's fun to play with pets and spoil them too. Therefore, dog and cat sitting brings me great enjoyment. It allows one to enjoy the different personalities of each pet. Currently, I own no pets because I travel often and instead enjoy sitting others pets. Currently I work at the office four days a week.
about me/ over mij/ autobiografía
I am Jonathan and am 29 years old. I was raised in California, and moved to Puerto Rico at 17. I enjoy traveling, nature, and outdoor sports. Now I live in The Netherlands for work. I studied Civil Engineering and am finished a Masters Degree at TU Delft. I consulted at two of the big five corporations. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I also speak and read basic Dutch (A2).
Moreover, I grew up with dogs. One was always a pure breed, and the others were mixed breed rescue animals. From a young age I enjoyed a beauty of pet ownership which comes with play and responsibility. During college, I had two rescue cats, Milo and Nati. I rented out the other rooms of my house. One housemate had a Husky, Luna. I would play with her by taking her out to walk or run by the beach since the owner did not. I felt responsible for her well being.
Regarding Experience, I have been dog and cat sitting since 2021 with and without pawshake. Poeple say I have a gift with animals. Sometimes, in nature random animals will come close to me or allow me too come close. like this have been able to be close to wild deer, birds, butterflies, turtles... etc. I tend to understand animals and they understand me. I like working with them too.
If you are interested in my services send me a message, and we can arrange a short visit so we can determine whether we are a match. If they stay is less than three days I prefer we do a video call and you send footage of your pet. :)
Wat een lieve, betrouwbare oppas. We hebben kennis gemaakt en het klikte meteen. Ik heb mijn hondje nog niet eerder zó relaxed meegemaakt. Ik kreeg foto's tussendoor en een korte update. Als je weet dat je hondje in goede handen is, kun je ook genieten van je weekendje weg 😊
Good communication before and during the sitting, took time out to visit beforehand and ensure he was well prepared, flexible when dates had to change due to illness. My cats were relaxed and happy when I got back, and I know when they are not. I am glad to have found Jonathan and won't hesitate to book him again.
