I'm a 44 year old Dutch teacher living in Den Haag. I grew up in South Africa, surrounded by pets. I am a very reliable and experienced pet sitter from an animal crazy home! I live with my two kids (15 and 13) and a turtle, 3 gerbils, an Egyptian jird, a rabbit, hamsters, tropical fish and two agapornis parrots. We previously also shared our home with chickens and a beagle dog who is no longer with us and we miss having a canine presence in our home. My son is planning on a career in Veterinary Science and has an incredible lifelong understanding, love and interest in the animal kingdom, domestic and wild. Attached are some photos of our securely enclosed garden and some of our own pets.

I am knowledgeable, calm and comfortable caring for all pets, including dogs, birds, rodents, fish and water creatures. Your pets can either stay in our home or I can come to your home and feed, love and walk them. I am willing to clean out the homes of caged pets, should you be away for a longer period of time and cage cleaning is required. Should your pet stay with us, of course they will been living and sleeping in our home with us and not left alone outside...and there is always a space on the sofa for them!

On the occassion that I myself have needed a pet sitter, I have found it very difficult to find someone that is loving, relaxed and calm with my pets and also has experience with them. I feel that I have these attributes so am offering my services to others. Also, I can reliably accept pets on short notice as I am home most weekends and holidays with my kids and our own pets. As I have a car, I offer pick up and drop off of your pets at a small additional fee from your home if necessary.

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, shelled and scaly family members!
