Hi, I’m Svetlana! 🐾 I have always had a very special connection with animals, especially dogs. I absolutely love spending time with them : going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply being together. For me, animals are almost like art therapy: being around them makes me feel calm, present and happy. I have my own dog, who currently lives with my parents in Ukraine. I miss him very much, and as I cannot bring him to the Netherlands at the moment, caring for other animals gives me a wonderful opportunity to have them in my life again. Over the years, friends have often trusted me to look after their pets when they were away. I have cared for dogs, cats and other animals, and I have always noticed how easily they feel comfortable and relaxed around me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and understanding their individual personality and needs. I believe every pet has its own character, habits and way of communicating. I pay attention to their signals and try to understand what they need - whether it is an active walk, some playtime, affection, feeding, or simply a calm presence nearby. I am patient, attentive and gentle, and I always respect each pet’s individual routine and boundaries. I offer care at the owner’s home, including one or two home visits per day, 30-minute dog walks, and overnight house sitting. During a home visit, I can feed your pet, spend time with them, play, give them attention and make sure they are comfortable. For house sitting, I stay overnight and provide companionship and care throughout the stay. I would be happy to meet you and your pet beforehand, learn about their routine, personality and preferences, and make sure we are a good match. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed and genuinely cared for while you are away.
