Anja

hi there, my name is Anja - a Croatian in Amsterdam. I'm 30 years old and working in political and communication consulting, having studied and worked in Croatia, the UK, Italy, Germany and Belgium. I see pet sitting as a relaxing side job that gives me a break from my daily corporate job and allows me to spend time with animals of all types.

I have experience with animals ranging from hamsters and guinea pigs, cats and dogs to horses. I've been regularly pet sitting for friends, colleagues and neighbours for the last year and a half, and have now expanded to Pawshake. I'm also actively volunteering with Stichting Dierenbemiddeling Europa as a foster parent for dogs that come to the Netherlands, keeping them safe, happy and active while they find their forever home.

I currently live in a 70 square metre flat on the second floor that is full of sunlight and has a small balcony for your pet to get some fresh air. as I live on the broders of Amsterdam, your dogs will have great green areas to explore!

I often get asked why don't I have a pet. I regularly travel for work which means I can't care for a pet every day, but am hoping to get some animal friends nonetheless! this is why I would love to get the opportunity to take care of your pets by taking them for walks or hosting them if you are away. things I can help you with are:
- taking dogs for 45min-1 hour walk almost anytime in the day
- hosting cats, dogs or any other animals at our home overnight
- providing day care for your cats, dogs or any other animals with dedicated play and activity time.

hoping to hear from you soon!
