I’m 18 years old, currently studying at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, and animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for dogs started with my grandmother, who taught me patience, respect, and how to truly care for them. Back home, my family has four dogs of different breeds and sizes, and being away from them is honestly one of the hardest parts of living abroad, so caring for your pets is something I genuinely look forward to..

I live in Kralingen, one of Rotterdam’s greenest and most relaxed neighbourhoods. Kralingse Bos and the lake are just around the corner, and the area has plenty of quiet streets and open spaces that are perfect for dogs of all energy levels. Please note that I’m unable to host pets at my apartment, but I’m fully available to walk, visit, and care for pets in their own home.

When it comes to experience, I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, shy, scared, reactive, or high energy. I know that trust takes time and consistency, and I always work at each dog’s pace. I’m also confident handling multiple dogs at once, though I typically accept up to two at a time to make sure every pet gets proper attention and care. I offer walks tailored to each dog’s needs, usually 30 to 90 minutes depending on their age, health, and energy level. I’m generally available seven days a week, including mornings and evenings, and I always confirm availability in advance so owners can plan with confidence.

Owners can expect clear communication throughout every session, regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I follow feeding schedules carefully, can administer medication if needed, and always respect house rules and routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m happy to talk through any specific needs before a booking. In one situation, a dog in my care became suddenly anxious during a thunderstorm, I stayed calm, used soothing techniques, and kept the owner updated until the dog settled. In any health or safety emergency, I contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary help without hesitation.
