About Gaia

Hello Pet Owner!




Are you looking for purrfect, reliable and experienced pet sitter for your beloved pet for the duration of your trip, or do you simply need exercise/care assistance for a fair fee? Look no further!



My name Is Gaia and I am an animal-loving young adult living in Zaandam with my partner, who grew up with dogs and farm animals and shares love for all living beings with me. I have close to ten years of experience in caring for animals of all kinds and temperaments, as well as an infinite amount of love for all furry friends (I couldn't forget reptiles <3). Furthermore, I've worked as a veterinary nurse in Finland for two years, so I will always be prepared in case of an emergency. In 2018, I completed 4H-Dogsitter training in Finland, where I was introduced to animal first aid, overall animal care and giving oral medication. I can administer oral- and topical medications for all animals.



My special skills include challenging dogs suffering from separation anxiety and dogs that are difficult on a leash. I am also more than familiar with taking care of cats since I had two back in Finland who I miss dearly every day. After nine years of actively performing gigs, I have come across all kinds of dogs and learned to provide optimal care for different behavior patterns.



I will be more than happy to meet you beforehand so that you can see how our chemistries meet and how I work with your pet. The most important thing to me is that you can be away from your pet knowing that they are receiving the safest, loving and most professional care. 



During your pet's stay they are free to move and sleep wherever they want in my pet safe apartment, receive all the scratches in the world and get plenty of exercise outdoors. I will keep you updated daily so you always know your fur baby is in the most loving hands and doing great.



I've been handling dogs all my life, been involved in breeding activities, and enjoyed agility and exhibitions. Your pet is welcome at our 4-room apartment, or if you wish, I can spend the night/visit your apartment during the care taking. I can move around the capital region and for longer gigs, if necessary, also further afield. I look forward to hearing from you ☺️❤️

Ps. I included some pictures of precious souls I've had the pleasure of taking care of 🤍


Best regards,

Gaia Lauronen

Gaia and her boyfriend took wonderful care of Lea during the three weeks we were traveling. Both have a great love for animals. Lea was happy, caring and relaxed with them. Gaia sent us pictures every day. Surely when we have to be away we will contact Gaia again to take care Lea.

Gaia was very attentive. Sending regular updates and pictures of Luna. I felt very secure and reassured that she was getting all the love, attention and exercise she needed, and then some!
