Kate

English/Nederlands. Beschrijving is in Engels hoewel in mijn dagelijkse leven spreek ik vooral Nederlands.

Available to care for cats, dogs and farm animals at your home in and around Oog in Al, Lombok, Oud Zuilen and Tienhoven. Also keen to house sit in rural areas at larger properties/farms to care for chickens, birds, ducks, horses and sheep. Available for short or long stay house sitting from 2-nights up to 6months.

Growing up on a farm in Australia with cats, dogs, ducks, chickens, birds, horses and sheep, I spent a lot of time playing with and caring for animals. I learned young to tune into animals, observe and respect their individual personalities and their wishes for space or closeness.

Eleven years ago I emmigrated to the Netherlands. As I travel back to Australia each year for a few months I have chosen not to get a cat or dog myself.

In Utrecht where I live in a small apartment, I have made friends with some of the cats in my neighbourhood and am delighted when one runs over to say hello. It was after cat sitting for two months for a couple who travelled to New Zealand, and for three weeks for a family with a dog, chickens and a parrot, I realised how much joy it brings me to be in the company of animals for longer periods, to get to know them and care for them as if they were my own.

As my apartment has no outside space, I'm most interested in homestays in Utrecht with a garden or larger properities/farms in more rural settings.

I hope to meet a number of animals and their owners where we have a click, and that I can be a regular visitor.
