Hello hello! I have family dogs of my own that live back in the US and I miss them every day. I love to spend time with animals, if I pet a dog my day is infinitely better. I love seeing their personalities and joy, taking them for walks, playing with toys or just sitting together. I'm patient, having a rescue dog that was found abandoned on the street, and let them adjust and tell me what they need from me.
I have stayed with both dogs and cats (from 2 kittens to 4 cats) many times as a pet and house sitter, and also done visits to just check in and feed them. Obviously having my own dogs and taking care of their dog friends, I have walked multiple dogs and given them both attention so no one gets all dramatic and jealous. I have had pets since I was about 10, first a rabbit, and then dogs, including Labradors and a rescue we think is an Eskimo-Jack Russell (but who knows).
This may be about taking care of the animal, but honestly they take care of us too don't they? I'd love to chat about your pet!
All the best,
Petra

No pets live in my apartment, sadly my family dogs are far away.
Please note!
I am currently working Tuesdays and Wednesdays in The Hague and am away from Leiden from 9:30-7ish. More than happy to do house/pet sitting in other cities (Leiden, Den Haag, Rotterdam) but for just visits it is limited to Leiden specifically. Currently taking bookings up to one month in advance.
Fantastisch! Hele snelle communicatie, punctueel en het allerbelangrijkst: een geweldige zorg en oppas voor onze 2 akita’s. Dit is niet het makkelijkste ras, en vooral het vrouwtje kan af en toe best een pittig karakter hebben. Ze heeft zich nooit laten uitlaten door mensen die ze niet (goed) kent.
Petra kwam voor de eerste keer en heeft ze zonder geen enkel probleem uitgelaten en geweldig voor ze gezorgd. Echt fantastisch, dus zéker aan te raden!
Our (often reserved) dog took to Petra from the second he met her. She has a wonderful way with dogs and clearly loves animals. She was prompt, caring, flexible and easy to communicate with, so glad to have had Petra dogsit
