We, Taylor (American) and Carlos (Portuguese) are crazy about animals! We recently had to say goodbye to our 16 year old Labrador, who was like our son. We shared so many special memories and fun moments with him and due to current work and travel concerns, we're not yet ready to welcome a new furry family member. But we would love to spend time with your four-legged children whilst you are on holiday, or even during the day as we work several days per week from home and live in a perfect area for walks. 

We are available for both dog and cat sitting and have lots of experience sitting for friends and neighbors for years. We're happy to provide you with tons of photos and updates while you're away. We know what's important to pet parents when leaving their pet with a sitter. Your cat or dog will be welcomed and made to feel at home at our home. 

If your dog likes to walk, our home in Zaandam is the perfect launch point for strolls in one of the many nearby parks. We have a small fenced garden for extra outdoors time and if your pup is okay in the car, we can bring them along on our weekend walks. We're also very flexible so last minute bookings are welcome. Happy to hear more about you and your pet!

Details re: dog boarding: 

- your dog will have a comfy area, we have dog beds, toys, food/water bowls and treats of course. And you can bring anything you'd like to make sure they feel at home! 

- 1 of us will work from home during the day so someone will always be present with your dog unless we go for 1-2 hours to the gym or tennis practice. 

- we're not professional dog trainers or groomers. We can practice some tricks for treats and we can brush hair/teeth.

- we will only have 1 dog or cat (or family of dogs/cats) staying with us at a time. There will not be other pets around while your pet(s) is with us.

Details re: dog daycare & walks 

- we're available to come for walks only within a 2km radius of our home in Zaandam.

- as we both work flexible corporate jobs, we can easily do 3-4 walks daily of varying durations depending on your dogs needs.

- when the weather is nice, we often have the door to our small garden open so your dog can go in/out as they please. 

We're not pet setting as a "job" but rather because we just want to spend some time with animals now that there's a huge gap in our lives. We will treat your dog or cat as our own. Questions? Please ask!
