Laura

I am a 35-year-old South African teacher who moved to the Netherlands with my husband this year. We both have a very big soft spot for all creatures, furry or feathery, big or small. 

I was blessed to grow up with an array of amazing pets including: dogs, horses, rabbits, ducks, parrots, budgies, cows, chickens, snakes, rats, fish, and a tortoise. Both mine and my husband's parents have dogs that we love to spend time with whenever we visit them. I have many years of experience walking dogs, as well as looking after the many pets I've had so far. 

My motivation for pet sitting is simply to have a chance to be around animals again. I also love being outdoors, so walking dogs combines two of my favourite things. Any pets that I'm lucky enough to spend time with will get lots of love and attention from me. 

Having adopted rescue dogs in the past, I am patient (and have experience) with animals that are anxious, depressed, or snappy. I will take my time to get to know your pets so that they can feel comfortable and confident around me. 

Services: 
Dog walking - each walk will last approximately 30 minutes, and will include love and attention for your fur baby.

Discount offered for walking the same pet more than once per week (€10 for the first walk, thereafter €8.50 per walk for additional walks within the same week; and €4 per additional dog).

Home visits - once or twice daily. Visits will last approximately 30 minutes. I will feed your pets and give them fresh water. I will also spend time with them, giving them plenty of love and attention. You can let me know if you'd like me to take them out on a short walk during the visit. 
One visit per day €20, two visits per day €30 (€5 extra per additional pet if we go walking).
