Hi animal lovers!

I’m Riccardo, 30 years old, originally from Italy and now living in Zaandam. I finished my Master’s in Ecology and Evolution and, even with a full-time job, I keep doing dog-sitting and cat-sitting because I truly love being around animals.

I grew up with many pets and, since I started pet-sitting, I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs: small, big, young, old, and with different needs. Nothing scares me!

My main experience is with dogs and cats, but I also know how to care for turtles and reptiles.

I can visit your home when you’re away, and I also host small and calm dogs in my place (about 60 m², dogs allowed in the building). It’s perfect for older or quieter dogs who enjoy a relaxed space.

Availability:

Friday to Sunday: fully available

Monday to Thursday: evenings

Flexible based on your needs

Services:

Home visits (1–2 hours)

Dog walks (about 1 hour)

House sitting (half day)

Hosting small/older/calmer dogs

Lots of cuddles, care, and attention

I’m friendly, energetic, queer safe space and always happy to meet new animals.

Send me a message, your pet will be in safe, loving hands! ❤️
