Hi! My name is Saoirse (pronounced like Serge) and I would love to hang out with your dog! I moved to the Netherlands from Florida where I grew up with a family dog. We had two Weimaraners named Max and Oliver. Max was with us for 14 years, he was very smart and sneaky, he would knock on the door to go out and steal bags of bread off the counter. His little brother Oliver is still with us and I miss him every day.&nbsp;
Growing up with dogs it's been hard adjusting to a life without them around, I was so happy to hear about pawshake! Weimerainers are pretty big so I have experience working with large dogs and small dogs are no problem. Max needed to be handled with care once he became a senior citizen so I know what to look out for with old dogs.
I am available for walks and in home visits. Unfortunately my current housing doesn't allow pets, so I can't house my own little guy. Please reach out if you're interested! I can't wait to hear from you.
Kind regards,

Saoirse


Hello! My name is Pauline and I am a 20 year old psychology student at the University of Groningen. I love all kinds of animals, but dogs and cats are my favorites. Since I moved here from Germany and not being able to take my dogs with me, I would be really happy to care for your dog. In the summer my dog Mila had puppies and I took care of them all summer long. Moreover, I grew up on a farm and we always had dogs, so I you could say that I have quite a lot of experience with dogs. I am experienced with really young dogs as well as with older dogs. It is my highest priority to provide good care for the dog I am watching over at the moment! At the moment we have got two Bolonkas at my home in Germany, called Mila and Luke (Luke is one of the puppies, which Mila gave birth to last year). When I was younger we also had a Golden Retriever and a Labrador, so if your dog is a bigger dog, you don’t have to worry about it because I am also experienced with them.
What can you expect when you let me walk your dog? I am gonna take good care of your dog and respect the instructions you gave me before. You are gonna get at least one picture of your dog and I am gonna play with him/her during our walk. 
In case you are not home for a while I can also come to your place to provide some services for your dog or cat, for example feeding them or just staying with them for a while and cuddling them. 
I would be really glad if you decide to let me take care of your pet :)
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.


I am a first year psychology student looking for a small job in between my studies. I would be happy to take care of your pets whenever you need any help with that. I have a dog back home called Milo, he is a maltese terrier. I miss having his company and that is also why I thought of this job. I would say that I am mostly a calm person, I don't have much experience looking after other people's pets, only had the experience with my own but I am willing to learn. I've also had many different types of animal and I generally like to take care of pets. I've also had an internship for a few days at a veterinary a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I have a lot of free time outside of my classes in university, so I am usually available during the afternoons and during the evenings to spend an hour or two with your pets. If there are any home visits needed, I can also help with things such as watering the plants, taking care of the mail, or things that could be useful during your away time. Concerning dog walks, I usually go out for about 45 minutes, and walk around the area or follow the dog's wanted path, but I prefer avoiding crowded places. So if your pet is looking for some company and someone to take care of them I would love to have a new friend. :)&nbsp;



Hi! I am a 20 year old student in Groningen. I used to live in Spain before moving to the Netherlands. In Spain I took care of a total of 4 dogs and A LOT of cats. My family and I love pets and so I’ve always spent my days surrounded by them. I believe animals give so much happiness and love to a person and I would love to continue experiencing this and giving back this care and love back to animals even though i am unable to permanently own a pet in my apartment. I am able to take good care of pets and I am organized and good at following instructions. As a university student my schedule does vary per day but whenever I'm free I would be more than happy to take care of your pet :) i do not have many classes a week so I'm free quite a lot during the days. I am able to walk your pets twice a day if needed and I can also do 2 home visits a day! 

Hoi!
I'm Hannah, 21years old and from Germany. I study at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen and live in a shared apartment with two girls. 
I love animals and spending time with them which is why I decided to sign up on this platform. 
I have a dog at home myself who is now 10 years old and goes by the name Timmy. He is the sweetest dog and I love him so much! Which is why I understand the struggle pet owners can have of wanting to find someone who will take care of their pet in the best way while they are gone. 
I guarantee you that I will put in my best efforts to care for your loved animal. I can take care of them at your home or take them for walks, whatever you need me to do let me know:)
My working times are flexible, so if you want me to care for your animal, don't hesitate to contact me :) 
I'm looking forward to meeting you! 
All the best, Hannah :)

Hello,&nbsp;My name is Jacky, I am 20 years and a second year psychology student. I enjoy almost all kinds of sports, hanging out with friends, travelling and of course spending time with animals. As a student it is unfortunately not really possible to have a pet because I am sometimes at uni the whole day and my living situation also does not allow pets. I have done some pet sitting for my aunts and neighbours dog, always used every opportunity if someone offered me to walk their dog and also looked after cats, guinea pigs and a fish for a few days. When I was on a student exchange my host family had two dogs and two cats and I just loved to have them around, cuddle them and walk the dogs. I used to have guinea pigs and in my middle school we had mice, fish and an axolotl that I took care of for a few years. I would love to do some dog walking or look after dogs, cats or what ever for a day or possibly longer. Including feeding and cuddling them, letting them out or in the house and walking them. I could also have smaller dogs or other animals for 1 or two days over at my place (but we have steep stairs, so they must either be easy to carry or be able to walk the stairs up by themself). We do not have garden or any other pets. I have three housemates who also love animals and one of them is doing petsitting as well. I am very flexible regarding how long I can walk dogs or how often if I have them for the whole day, it would very much depend on the dog and what the owner suggests. I am not trained in administering medicine or training animals or something similar. I am usually completely free friday to sunday, but have at least two hours of lectures on all other days. Friday to sunday I would only have to leave the pet alone if I need to go to the supermarket, which should not take much more than 30 mins. And if she is at home, my housemate would also be willing to look after the pet for this time. The pet could sleep in my bed (if it is a dog or a cat).I could do one dog walk on mondays or wednesdays, after my university courses, that means around noon or in the evening. I could also do a quick homevisit then and feed pets or let them inside or out of the house. If you have any questions feel free to ask me:)

Hi! My name is Alisa Sireneva, i am 22 year old student in Hanze University, studying applied mechanics.I am a responsible person, patient, kind, I love animals (and they like me back) and can take good care of them.&nbsp;&nbsp;I offer to take care of your pet. Including walking, feeding, giving medication (if necessary), as well watching over your pet for the whole day at my house.&nbsp;&nbsp;About me: all my life I had dogs. From the younger age i was walking my dog by myself, feeding him and playing with him. Later, after we moved with my mom to another country, we took another dog from a shelter. As a teenager I could already take good care of our new dog, including taking her to veterinarians and giving her medicine if necessary.I have experience with taking care of other's dogs. I took care or my friends dogs from time to time for a week, feeding them every day, walking 3 times a day and giving them medications if I was asked to, playing with them.&nbsp;Would love to take care of your pet!

Hi there. I am Lingxiu. I have been living in Groingen since 2021, and I am in the third year of my PhD in RUG.&nbsp;
WHY
The idea of becoming a pet sitter arised after I spent time with Olie (the lovely cat of my friends), Oreo (cute puppy of another friend), Njiske and Bruin (they live happily together). They are so adorable. And I am super excited to meet more animal friends from here. I will be honored if you trust me with taking care of your beloved one(s) and very curious for the meeting-ups with new cuties.
WHAT
I totally understand that it is not easy to be away. So, some updates photos/videos can be expected. On top of that, the safety, health and happiness of your beloved one(s) is the most important. That's what I can offer and am excited to do.&nbsp;
WHEN
I am a full-time PhD student. Thus, I have a relative flexible schedule, and most of the time I am in Groningen. Please check my calendar about that. I am more than willing to meet our friends more times. Thus, a second booking will always share higher priority.&nbsp;
REQUIRED
Your beloved one(s) and your place need to be clean and hygienic. Don't worry, I will do the best to help keeping that when you are away.


Ik zal mijzelf even voorstellen. Ik ben Eva, 21 jaar oud en wonend in de prachtige stad Groningen. Hier woon ik al 3 jaar zelfstandig. Daarvoor ben ik opgegroeid in een klein dorpje in Friesland. Hier woonde ik met mijn ouders, twee paarden, een hond en drie katten. Momenteel woon ik in een appartement midden in het centrum van Groningen. Ik ben een fulltime studente HRM aan de Hanzehogeschool. Ik heb een passie voor paardrijden, hardlopen en polefitness.Ik heb altijd al een grote affectie voor dieren gehad. Als kind altijd al te vinden geweest bij de geiten van de buren, bij de paarden op stal of met de honden spelend op het grasveld. Ik ben zelf ook opgegroeid met een hele beestenboel thuis. Momenteel heb ik zelf geen dieren, maar staat staat voor de toekomst zeker wel gepland.Omdat ik al mijn hele jeugd veel omgang heb gehad met dieren vanuit huis, maar ook regelmatig op de dieren van kennissen heb gepast leek het mij super om dit nu ook in Groningen te doen. Ik ben zeer verantwoordelijk en heb ervaring met verschillende grootte en soorten dieren. Ik vind het heerlijk om buiten te wandelen en dat is samen natuurlijk het leukst!. Omdat mijn appartement niet heel groot is, en enkele verdiepingen hoog is het niet mogelijk om bij mij thuis grote honden op te vangen. Op het moment dat dit op locatie kan is het natuurlijk geen probleem :). Er zullen meer foto's volgen. Je mag altijd een berichtje sturen als je vragen over mij hebt!

Hoi! Hello!
My name is Brittney (30 years old) and I'm originally from America, but moved to the Netherlands to be with my now husband. My husband and I are total animal lovers! We have two animals of our own - our dog, Zerah and our cat, Xena. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and admittedly get all giddy whenever I see other dogs and cats. They really make me happy and I love making them happy in return.
I am currently a stay-at-home mom to my two fur babies and studying the Dutch language, so I can complete my masters degree. This makes me very flexible with my time and able to give other peoples' pets the love that I give my own. Having my own pets gives me the empathy and understanding of what I would expect from a pet sitter myself and my promise is to treat your pets as if they were my own.&nbsp;
Due to my flexibility with my time, I am able to care for your pets morning, midday, afternoon and night. I keep in mind the needs for you and your pets.
I am able to administer oral medications and support any particular training exercises needed for your pet.
For dog walking services, I will walk your dog in a nearby dog-friendly area (park, forest, etc.) and ensure they get the exercise they need from 30 minutes to an hour.
For home visits for cats and dogs, I will be sure to socialize with your pet with playtime, cuddles, whatever they like, so that they are well taken care of while you are away. I can clean the cat's litter box, refill food and water and provide mentally stimulating playtime. I can also do any other small tasks for you, such as checking the mail while you are gone. Afterwards, I will ensure your home is secure before leaving. The safety of your properly and your fur baby is the most important thing.
It is also possible for me to stay overnight with your pet if necessary, in their own environment, so we can reduce the amount of stress while you're away as much as possible.
Please don't hesitate to message me with any questions or set up a meet and greet! :)


Ik ben Dide, woon in Groningen en heb zelf 2 katten en 1 hond. 
Onze hond (Rufus) is in augustus 1 geworden en is zogezegd geen makkelijke hond. Mensen die de term "reactief" kennen, hebben vaak zelf ook een gevoelige hond. Want dat is hoe ik mijn hond het liefst omschrijf. Hij is gevoelig voor geluid, onbekende mensen en verandering van structuur. En ook ontzettend lief natuurlijk:)
Ik ben dus genoodzaakt geweest mij meer te verdiepen in hondengedrag dan alleen de basiskennis. 
Mijn verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel, geduld en de ervaring die ik inmiddels heb opgedaan zal ik dan ook zeker meenemen in de zorg voor uw hond. 
Omdat ik uit eigen ervaring weet dat een lekkere wandeling met de hond niet vanzelfsprekend is ben ik des te meer gemotiveerd om anderen te helpen waar nodig. Even bij de hond thuis zijn als de baas weg is? Of de hond meenemen op een wandeling? Samen kunnen we in gesprek gaan en kijken wat uw hond nodig heeft zodat hij de juiste zorg en begeleiding krijgt. 
Als ik dan toch voor uw hond zorg, ben ik ook bereid om (indien van toepassing) de katten van aandacht te voorzien, eten geven, kattenbak verschonen etc. Indien nodig. Of de planten water geven wanneer u wat langer van huis bent. 

Ik ben een 23 jarige studente en studeer communicatie- en informatiewetenschappen aan de rijksuniversiteit in Groningen. In het dagelijks leven hou ik van bezig zijn met creatieve dingen en sporten. Ik ben werkzaam bij FC Groningen. Ik heb mijn hele leven al van dieren gehouden en ik ben er ook mee opgegroeid. Mijn eerste hond heette Buddy en is 16 jaar is geworden. Hierna hebben wij bij mijn ouders thuis een hondje uit het asiel gehaald, genaamd Moos. Ik kwam terecht in een studentenhuis waar een hele lieve kat woont, hij is 6 jaar oud en heet Souf. Ik heb in het verleden eerder op honden opgepast en dat vond ik altijd leuk om te doen. Ik ben ermee opgegroeid en weet dus ook goed hoe ik met honden om moet gaan. Ook wandel ik hier in Groningen regelmatig met honden. Het lijkt mij dan ook leuk om hier vaker honden uit te laten. Meestal tast ik eerst altijd even af hoe het is en dan kijk ik of ik de hond los kan doen of gewoon aan de lijn houdt. Ik wandel zelf vaak in het Noorderplantsoen en ik zou het leuk vinden om met de hond daarheen te gaan. Afhankelijk van hoe oud de hond is zal ik ermee spelen of gewoon lekker rustig wandelen. Ik zou het ook leuk vinden om op te passen op een huisdier of om eten te geven. Denk hierbij aan het eten geven aan een kat of ander huisdier, zoals een knaagdier. Als ik een dagje op zou passen op een hond kan ik die eventueel ook ophalen en brengen bij u thuis. Als u interesse of vragen heeft stuur mij dan vooral een berichtje. 
Groetjes,
Sam de Boer
