Hello!
I'd like to introduce myself: I am Katharina
and I am a certified zookeeper but more important , I have many years of experience with dogs and cats. ( My own and while dogsitting)
I understand the differed needs of different breeds because a shepherd mix, a hound and a sighthound have been part of my family.
I worked 4 month in Alaska at a big racing kennel for sled dogs where I took care of them as a doghandler.
That included medical care, feeding and giving massages after their runs.
Experience with "difficult" dogs .. I have a 100 % force free approach to animal handling.
No punishments but positive reinforcement/ rewards Is my philosophy.
Horse riding was my hobby for many years, first classical training later I adopted other philosophies as well. I worked in a riding stable on St.Maarten where I took care of the horses and gave riding lessons to children.
These days I keep my own little flock of Serama chickens. Just sitting with them makes me happy, but some enjoy being petted, others enjoy learning some tricks.
In my free time I enjoy reading books about animal care and psychology.
I have been a pet sitter to many happy families .. And you could be the next one..
Just drop me a line and we can discuss things . I speak Dutch ,German and English ( and a little Spanish )
Services include:
House and pet sitting ( travel expenses may apply)
Boarding at my house has to be discussed if the dog is suitable.( because of the chickens )
In Schagen I also come and visit your pets / horses and take them for a walk.
Doggy day care and Dog walks always have a flexible cancellation policy:
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Dagelijkse filmpjes updates via WhatsApp met na 3 dagen al een filmpje waarbij mijn wat voorzichtige kat al brokjes uit Katharina haar hand eet...helemaal goed 😊😊😊 tot de volgende keer Katharina!!
Ver boven verwachting! Dagelijkse updates met foto's, tekst en video. Vriendelijke, lieve manier van omgaan met katten - volgens de beste boeken. Allemaal extraatjes in huis waar we niet om gevraagd hebben: plantjes water gegeven (zelfs buiten), borstelen van de langharige kat...
Niets dan lof voor deze geweldige oppas. Tot de volgende keer Katharina!
