I am Ivan and I have been in the Netherlands for about 6 years. I spent 2022 back in my home country and adopted a cat there that I haven't seen in almost a month. I miss her every day and I call her at night. I am moving apartments so I can accomodate her and I am going to relocate her to the Netherlands by the summer, and in the mean time I'd love to take care of someone else's pet.
I have experience watching some of my friends' pets back home - 2 cats (Milo and Kida), 1 dog - my mom's (Barry), 1 dog (Bella), and I loved every part of it. I want to be a pet sitter because I feel a deep connection with animals and do not currently have any friends that have pets near me
I am really happy doing all services I have listed. The only services I cannot offer is receiving an animal at my home. I'd love to walk dogs, I also offer to run with them, as I do 5-10kms every other day. House sittings/visits of course include bringing out food and water for your pet, playing with them, watering the plants, sending you pictures every day, etc.
Our experience with Ivan was positive, so I can definitely recommend him. He is a kind-hearted person, and our communication was easy. During vacation every day he sent me photos on which our 2 cats looked relaxed. When we returned home, we found the litter boxes clean, our girls had food and fresh water.
Thank you, Ivan!
Ivan was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. He was very pleasant, professional (following carefully requests regarding our cat's medication or arranging access to the house) and sent lots of updates and photographs, which made us feel very secure. Our more social cat of the two loved him and climbed on his shoulder from day one! The other one is always hiding when there is a stranger in the house, and it was lovely to see that Ivan made an effort to find her every time and reassure us that she is OK (she even let him pet her once :)). In short, we highly recommend Ivan as a pet sitter and would be glad to have him take care of our cats in the future!
