Woof and meow, there! Going away for a family vacation or Christmas? Need romantic couple time alone? Last-minute sitter cancellation? Need a trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and clean pet sitter in your home for 1 week or more? I have experience! ABOUT ME Early-30s working professional (so old enough to understand basic social etiquette and independent enough to stay in strangers' homes with pets) Fully remote professional (so often home all day with your pet) American expat (so it just means I am international or open-minded) MY PETSITTING EXPERIENCES IN HOLLAND About 2 years of pet-sitting overseas A mix of pet-sitting in my own home and traveling to pet-sit overnight in others' Currently looking to travel to most of Holland and stay in people's homes and pet-sit only (including plant care, house maintenance, mail support) Cats and dogs to kittens and puppies - all ages and personalities (even stubborn and dramatic pets) Have experience with old dogs to young and energetic dogs (including leash draggers and anxious dogs) Have experience in administering oral medication for a dog To name a few examples, I've petsat for two dogs in Amsterdam WITH the owner still home; for a house of 3 cats for one month in den Hague; one month with an old German Shepherd in Rotterdam; three weeks with two cats in Rotterdam; 2 weeks with a big dog in Haarlem; 1 year with an anxious Maltese in Amsterdam (weekly) WHY TRUST A STRANGER? (I know, sounds crazy, but apparently technology is making everyone trust more!) I'm reliable; if I answer you agreeing, then I am dead serious and expect both parties to commit and show up, not waste time. If you're waiting to hear from a friend or relative, please don't contact me as a backup. I'm highly flexible; my fully remote work online in marketing lets me adjust my schedule easily and move around, town to town across the Netherlands, discovering new cultures and pets and people, with my laptop and suitcase. I'm highly communicative; my business occupation requires me to email or text politely, so I do this with pet owners naturally. I always have to be proactive about responses, so I know to share frequent pet updates or any issues with your house when you're away. I'm used to video calls, so we can talk however and whenever. I'm friendly; I have joined neighbors living near the pet owner for coffee or chats, so I don't really disturb anyone if I am weeks at your home. I can provide written references for cats or dogs. Let's meet in a park or directly in your home where the pet is less anxious! Message me, Halle
