Hi! I'm a dedicated and reliable animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience. I'm based in Lelystad and available for overnight pet sitting in Haarlem, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Leeuwarden, and Zwolle. My mission is to treat every animal as if they were my own, providing you with total peace of mind while you are away. A Lifetime of Diverse Experience I have a deep, practical understanding of animal behavior because I have lived with and cared for a "mini-zoo" throughout my life. My current family includes three cats and one dog, but my experience goes much further. I have successfully cared for: • Reptiles: Understanding the specific heat and habitat needs of an iguana. • Birds: Providing the social interaction and mental stimulation required by parrots. • Small Mammals: Daily care for hamsters and other pocket pets. • Dogs & Cats: Experience with all sizes and temperaments. A Heart for Rescues I am especially passionate about animal welfare and have extensive experience rescuing and rehabilitating street cats. Two of my own cats are rescues, which has taught me how to be incredibly patient and gentle with animals that are shy, nervous, or have a difficult history. I have spent years feeding and loving street animals, so I am always willing to go the extra mile for any animal in need. My Active Services: • Overnight House Sitting: I stay in your home so your pets can remain in their familiar, stress-free environment. • Home Visits (1x or 2x daily): I stop by for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. • Dog Walking: 30-minute walks (or longer!) to burn off energy and explore. Why Choose Me? • Flexible Schedule: As a student, I am home most of the day, allowing for frequent potty breaks, walks, and endless attention. • Safety & Cleanliness: I maintain a 'paws-on' approach, never leaving pets unattended outdoors. I pride myself on leaving your home spotless—often cleaner than I found it. • Multilingual: I speak fluent English and Portuguese, making communication easy for international families. I stay calm under pressure, I follow routines closely, and I am ready to provide your pets with the love and individual attention they deserve! Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical requirements, or specific behaviors (like leash pulling or reactivity) so | can tailor my care. My preference is for breeds that are well-socialized and comfortable with other dogs, as I often have my own friendly pup around. I also need to know their meal schedule and any known allergies to keep them happy and healthy.
