About Petra

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 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). 


I am currently available except for tuesdays. More than happy to do house/pet sitting in other cities (Leiden, Den Haag, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, etc) but for just visits is limited to Leiden. 


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 taking care of your pet!

All the best, 

Petra

No pets live in my apartment, sadly my family dogs are far away.

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

Specific Skills

I speak English
+10 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have had several pets over the years including big and small dogs and a rabbit. I have been a pet and house sitter for dogs and (multiple) cats/kittens. I have volunteered in a shelter caring for animals that were mistreated or illegally smuggled like parrots and some reptiles, and another shelter that specialized in rabbits, guinea pigs and rodents. My second dog was a rescue found on the street who had puppies shortly after and was naturally stressed and anxious. I am patient with dogs who may feel uneasy and very calm with them. I have also taken one of my dogs to a training course. I speak English but having taken care of a friends dog here I know useful dog terms in dutch. :) I can provide references from several people whose dogs I cared for if you’d like.
