About Silvia

I have always loved caring for animals and hope to provide your special family member with tender loving care. 

My partner and I currently live together in an apartment with no balcony/yard. We have an open layout living room/kitchen/study area and multiples rooms in a 135m2 apartment with elevator access. Many parks and grassy areas nearby. Situated near the LRC / Terwijde. Waterwinpark, Maxima Park, Haarrijnseplas, & dog parks close by. 

I have many years experience,owning ,fostering and taking care of other people's pets and my own. I took animal husbandry courses and know basic animal first aid. Also 3 years in Future Farmers of America (FFA). raising rabbits and cavies, dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses. Pets with medical problems are not an issue. We prefer stays under a week initially unless it is a small non-dog or cat. This is negotiable depeding on the pet's personality. Special dietary restrictions, mobility issues, and nighttime care can be provided.

Visits encompass feeding, cleaning bowl and any medications,

Walks are maximum 45min unless otherwise arranged and depending on weather and other agreements with pet parent. 

Daycare involves 2 walks per day. 1 meal, and lots of cuddles.

Overnightstay involves 3 meals, 3-4 walks. With prior discussions/agreement the pet can also be taken on trips to nearby beaches, forests, and other inclusion on our weekend/summer excursions. 

Homestays will include overnight specs and climate/light control, mail box duties, cleanup after pet and myself. I stay all day/night in the home with the pet. 

For cavies / guinea pigs or other small animals or farm animals customized care will be provided. Attention will be paid to their health and noises.

I am also a graduate student conducting research for my thesis this year and will be commuting 2-3X week away from home therefore long stays will not be suitable Spring/Summer 2024.

Dog Boarding
Naveen, 2024-07-28

We found Silvia a bit last minute but she was easy to contact, very clear and cordial in her communication and very reliable on the day itself. The moment she walked in, her calm and thoughtful nature put me at ease even though it was our first time leaving our pup alone with someone else. She sent occasional updates and photos of our pup during the pet sitting duration and gave us a wealth of insightful advice based on her years of experience handling other dogs. Really happy to have found Silvia, and hope to keep in touch for future occasions as well! Highly recommend :)
