About Lea

Hello!

My name is Lea, and I’ve been living in Rotterdam for the past four years while studying art in my final semester. Originally from Germany, I speak English, German, and Dutch (still working on mastering my Dutch). 

Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up in the countryside, my siblings and I had cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, chickens, ducks, and snakes. While I've never had a dog, I gained experience with them through my grandparents, who lived next door and had two German Shepherds. I have gained valuable experience as a pet sitter, regularly caring for my friends' pets and providing a loving and responsible approach. I truly adore animals and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities, preferences, and quirks in order to give them the best possible care and attention. Due to frequent moves, I haven't been able to adopt pets – so pet sitting is an ideal way for me to spend time with them anyway.

During house visits, I take care of the basics (walking, playing, feeding, and cuddling), and if requested, I’m happy to water plants (plant lover too:)), collect the mail, and take out the trash as well. When we meet, we can discuss your expectations and preferences in detail. Understanding your expectations as a pet owner is crucial, including communication preferences, schedules, and any other relevant information. 

💕 Feel free to reach out with any questions, special requests or to arrange a meeting. I'm excited to meet you and your pet! 🐾

MY SERVICES:

  • Boarding/Daycare:
    Unfortunately, I can only accommodate cats due to the landlord's policy.
    I share a spacious 90m² apartment with my partner (he loves cats as much as I do) who works from home. So your pet won't be alone, even if I have a lecture. We also have a guest room that your cat(s) can use, but they can sleep, play, and relax wherever they want. 
  • Dog Walking: Lively walks and play sessions, typically lasting 30-40 minutes. If your dog enjoys longer walks, I'm happy to accommodate. 
  • Home Visits: Duration 30-40 minutes. I'll spend quality time with them, including socializing, feeding, refreshing their water bowl, and cleaning any litter. I can do this up to three times, depending on your location. 
  • House Sitting: Comprehensive overnight care for your beloved companion. I’ll send daily photo updates and can also take care of your plants, mail, and garbage. I'll give your pet plenty of playtime and cuddles (or space, if needed) and take care of the litter box and any food requirements they may have.
  • LOCATION: Oud-Charlois Rotterdam South (where I live), Stadsdriehoek (where I study), and Rotterdam-Noord (where my atelier is located). Due to the location of my apartment, university, and atelier, I can serve the nearby neighborhoods. I am also willing to travel within a reasonable distance. For locations further away, I might only be available on weekends and charge higher rates for travel and covering bus/train costs.

    AVAILABILITY: Whether you need daily visits, long-term support, or last-minute assistance, I'm happy to help.
