Mina Marie

Hello! My Name is Mina, I am a Masters student at the Universiteit Leiden in the Hague and am living in a spacious two floor appartment in the city center of The Hague. I am a third culture kid myself - I am German, lived in Hamburg, Dubai, Reims, Amsterdam, Vienna and now The Hague - but one thing that stayed constant during my time in all these different cities was my love for animals. I grew up with two Rabbits (Lilly and Heinrich) and have had 5 cats (Mio, Eva, Patchi, Astrid and Carlo) and one adorable sock-stealing Golden Retriever (Nanuk). 

I have pet sitted before and am fully invested in the wellbeing of our little friends. I also volunteered at a shelter for dogs and cats and have worked at a cat shelter on a boathouse in Amsterdam. I interned at the Blue Oasis Veterinary Clinic and the Royal Equine Veterinary Clinic. Animals and their well-being are my passion and I am doing everything to make your little one as comfortable as possible whilst you can't be with them to accomodate all their needs and quirks (my cat Patchi only likes being pet when her head is underneath a blanket - knowing and respecting these little quirks is extremely important to me as a pet sitter to make your furry friend feel at ease and at home). I love all kinds of animals so it's a win-win-win situation: I am happy, the owner is happy, and most importantly, your pet is happy.

Depending on your preference, dog walks will be an hour or two hours long. I will bring your little one to a park and give him/her plenty of exercise and stimulating environments. 

If your little one is staying for one or more nights, he/she will have plenty of space in my two-floor apartment. I am a student, so I will make sure to spend most of my day at home with your pet (I usually have one 2 hour seminar a day and go to the gym for 1 hour - so lots of time left to spoil your friend). 

PS: I am super into animal photography - so chances you will have a bunch of decorative pictures of your little friend at the end of the pet-sitting session are extremely high.
