Hello! I'm a young woman with lots of experience with pets, grown up around many cats, companions that i also keep nowadays. I'm responsible, caring, nurturing, with a strong passion for all kinds of animals and attentive to details, so you'll know that your pet is in good hands. I've already had pet sitting experiences before moving to the Netherlands, so I'm aware that every animal has their own time and ways to familiarize with a stranger. Therefore I do not force anything and let them come out of their shell at their own pace and with their own comfort. You can rest easy while I'm taking care of your friend during your travels, no matter if they're a cat, a dog, a fish, a bird... I love them all and I'll be following your guidelines with precision, at your accomodation. No matter if they are an affectionate animal that asks for lots of cuddling, or a more reserved animal that demands tranquility and their own space, or an acrobat that needs to let off energy by playing or running around, I'll be happy to lend you a hand while you cannot be there yourself, making sure that your pet receives all the necessary care (fresh food, fresh water, a clean litterbox, medication if required) and lots of love! During a house visit I'll first take some time to let your pets get comfortable with me in their space, check if they want a little cuddle and if they are alright, then I'll check their food bowls and make sure they have a snack and some water before moving on to the litter box. After that I'll spend some time with them, playing if they're more active or just cuddling or sitting with them to make them feel less alone if they are more reserved. If they need a walk I'll also make sure that they get that exercise and be very encouraging while making sure they are safe (for example if there are other animals they don't know on the streets and parks) and having a good time, and will pay attention if they show signs of distress or if they need water or shade. I'll never let them out of my sight! I'll send you some pics of your pet in the meantime, so you'll know they are doing fine. Should they need any medical attention I'll inform you right away and also will take them to their usual veterinary clinic.
