I recently moved over from Australia where I dogsat regularly for the last 5yrs. I am excited to continue this here! I'm a big dog lover and will look after your furry-friend as if they were my own. I have experience with all sorts of dog breeds but mainly poodle-cross breeds (e.g. groodle, poodle, labradoodle etc).
I am based in the centre of Haarlem near the train station. Unfortunately, my current rental does not allow pets in my residence so I will only be offering the following services:
dog walking - eg 1hr walk in the neighbourhood
fun adventures out - eg taking your dog on a day trip to the dunes/beach/forest/dog park
or, looking after your pet at your house
HOW IT WORKS:
House Sitting: I stay at your home overnight + look after your dog with lots of cuddles and walks. My calendar shows availability for this service only over Fri-Sun - I may make exceptions if you message me.
Day Care: I take your dog on a fun adventure out, this is usually 3-6 hours and to be agreed on together. Some examples of what we might do include: a trip to the beach/dunes/forest hike/dog park. I can pick up and drop off with this service. I offer this service over the weekend.
Dog Walking*: Walking and spending time with the dog in the neighbourhood, usually 0.5-1hr, to be agreed together.
Home Visit*: I will go to your home for approximately 30mins per pet. I will make sure that bowls are clean and fresh food and water is supplied to make sure your pets are comfortable and cosy. I'll also spend time giving them pats and playing to give them some socialising time while you are away. If your pet requires extra attention I am flexible and happy to discuss - I want to make sure your pet is cared for in a way they are used to!
* I am offering these services only to furry friends in the inner-Haarlem area. The other services I am open to commuting a bit further.
Once you message, I will organise a meet and greet either virtually or around the neighbourhood to ensure your pet and I are a good fit.
Please note, I will ask you to supply the regular items your dog requires for their stay to ensure they are as comfortable as possible.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions 😄
I also have reviews on my Australian dog-sitting profile that I can share with you if you would like!

I have grown up with pets and as an adult have looked after dogs through pet sitting arrangements. The dogs are usually small-medium but on the smaller side. I love looking after oodle mixes and have looked after dogs that have anxiety issues so understand that they need a bit of extra attention and care/cuddles. Unfortunately my current rental house in Haarlem doesn’t approve of having pets so I won’t be looking after dogs in my residence but am instead offering the service of dog walking / looking after the dog at your house.
