book me and help me back to 5 paws!!!

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I’m an animal lover currently living in Leiden. I am a phd student whose main task is writing up her phd dissertation. As a result, I could have a very flexible schedule and I could work from home to stay with pets. I truly miss having animals around me and would love to spend more time caring for cats and dogs. I noticed that I got a review with very positive content but only 4 paws in rating. I am a bit confused about this. Is it because an accidentally wrong click or something? But no worries I know that I am the best sitter and I take best care of the animals and I reply messages very quick and I update a lot of photos and videos. I give a lot of attention and cuddle them a lot. I speak to them with the softest voice. I follow the instructions well and I am always willing to do more. I love and take care of the animals not just I want a nice review record but I truly love them. I'll be a bit sad if I am gonna miss some adorable animals because of this 4 paws review. No I need 15 more 5-paw reviews to go back to 5-paw 😭 IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST: I usually responde fast, and I appreciate EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION that you can save your time to company your fluffy boys and girls more. We value each other's time. I only speak English. My place is only a 42 m2 appartment with a seperate bedroom. Not a good choice for villa dogs. I live in an apartment. As a result, I can't accept dogs with barking issues. This is a red flag for my neighbors. I usually don't accept dogs with separation anxieties. In special situation you can ask and I can prepare myself. I can only accept one dog at a time. It depends on your preferences that you can state clearly. My recently experience showed that dogs can make friends immediately and enjoy each other. They can calm down or feel relaxed quicker than staying with a sitter alone. However, my family dog doesn't like sharing humans with other dogs. He will be a bit jealous. So it depends. I care about the tidiness of the house in a way that both pets and humans can enjoy a nice living space. I allow pets on sofa and furnitures and on my laps. I would like to cuddle them a lot. As a result, I would clean the paws after each walk using a soft wet wipe in a very gentle way. If your pet doesn't like paws being touched, then I am not a suitable sitter for them. For safety reasons, I don't accept boys and girls who are heavier than 25kg. Otherwise I may have difficulties in unusual situations where I need to carry/lift them. IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN ME, here is my background: My family has a cream-colored Shiba Inu who is incredibly adorable. I also have hands-on experience caring for a British Shorthair silver shaded cat, whom I looked after for several months while helping a friend. During that time, I was responsible for daily feeding, litter cleaning, and providing companionship, while keeping the cat comfortable and relaxed in its usual routine. Animals have always been an important part of my life. My mom is especially good at caring for animals — from chicks, birds, and rabbits to dogs — and she has always taken excellent care of them. Growing up in that environment, I believe I’ve inherited her patience, sense of responsibility, and genuine love for animals. When babysitting, I focus on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and calm interaction based on their energy level. For cats, I respect their personality — whether they enjoy active play or prefer quiet company. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. Before each stay, I’m happy to arrange a visit or meet-up with you and your pets so we can go through any important details together. I truly appreciate it when owners share their pets’ preferences, habits, and routines — every boy and girl is unique, and understanding what they like helps me provide better, more personalized care. I pay close attention to safety, hygiene, and the well-being of each animal, and I’m always willing to adapt my care to different personalities or special needs. I genuinely enjoy looking after pets and value the comfort and joy they bring. I would be more than happy to provide a safe, caring, and loving environment where your furry family members feel secure and well cared for.

lynn took so good care of my puppie herbie, and I noticed lynn likes to be well informed and pays attention to all details which can be important to be able to take care in the best way. she sent me pictures and little video's, which made me feel happy, to see everything is going smoothly and cosy. thank you lynn!

a little home away from home

Hi everyone! I have loved pets ever since I was a child, I have a 14 year old dog back in the Dominican Republic and i also had cats when I was younger. I love playing with them, cuddling them, brushing them, and just spending time with them in general. I would love to know your pet and their specific needs and make them feel cared for when their parents are away. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have specific questions, I'm happy to accomodate if you have specific requirements, and I look forward to meeting your cute pets!

Vanmiddag was Snoes bij Mariel, zij heeft het prima naar haar zin gehad! Ze kreeg alles wat ze nodig had - veel liefde: Mariel haar tweede Mama :ok_hand:❤️

Cats & Dogs & other fellas <3

I am excited to meet you and your pets!:) I’ve gained plenty of experienced with dogs, from tiny chihuahuas to huge samoyeds, also with health concerns and medications. I weekly dog-sit with my sister’s beagle <3 I enjoy walks and plays, and will regularly send cute pictures of how we spend time together with your dog! Will gladly get to know their habits and characters, and make their time away from owners more peaceful. And if you have a cat (or cats!), I am also hugely happy to meet them! Whether the cat is playful and sociable, or shy and quiet, or grumpy and reserved, I will carefully take in account whatever the owner find important to do. Will take care of a cat, and send pictures of them, so you do not miss friend!:) As I am thousands of kilometers away from a cat that I grew up with, I still want to help other pet owners with their pets. I am also good with plants, if you have to leave your house for a while and have someone water them. Looking forward to meeting you!

Daria is een zeer betrouwbare en lieve kattenoppas

Grote dieren vriend die van wandelen houd.

Ik heb in het verleden een Duitste herder en een Jack Russel gehad. Momenteel heb ik een wolfgrauwe keeshond en mijn vriendin een sibirsche husky. Wij zijn gek op dieren, we hebben ook nog katten en paarden. Ik ben erg sportief en beschik over een auto, boswandelingen of strandwandelingen ben ik niet vies van. En een beetje regen gaan we ook dwars doorheen. Mijn droom is om een honden opvang/uitlaatservice te beginnen. Ik hoop op deze manier een weg te vinden om dat te kunnen realiseren. Wil jij een keer een dagje weg in het weekend en kan je viervoeter niet mee? Contacteer mij en maak je viervoeter blij.

Ik ben altijd heel voorzichtig aan wie ik mijn maatje toe vertrouw. Maar bij tom is dat zeker goed bevallen. Hij is heel goed geweest voor mijn hond. Hij was helemaal uit geteld en heeft zijn energie ergoed uit gegooid. Ik had er thuis geen hond meer aan. Gewoon helemaal top. Dankjewel tom voor de goede zorgen die je shadow hebt gegeven en tot snel weer👍👍👍

Pawsome pet pal

I have grown up with dogs all my life and love to take care and play with them. One of my past dogs had several litters and I remember always having fun spending time with the pups and the older dogs. I’m a responsible and friendly pet sitter and assure you that your pet(s) will be in good hands! I would love to help out and take care of your dog with whatever is needed. Unfortunately I am very allergic to cats so that is a no go for me. I am currently studying and am therefore flexible in arranging my time around you and your pet’s needs. I hope to see you soon!

catgirly leiden!

i am a cat lady without any cats living in Leiden. I am 26 years old and still studying. Currently i live in a studio which is too little for a cat to live in with me. I really miss to be around cats and i’ve catsitted many times before. When i lived with my parents i also had 2 cats so i am very familiar with cats and their behaviour. I would really like to catsit, and build a bond with a cute furrball and make sure he/she gets all the scratches and playtime they desire. Even the shy cats usually get comfortable with me!

Cat lover in Leiden

I have my own cat for 8 years named A Hwang means yellow in Chinese. I enjoy his companion and learned a lot from him such as be patient, have independent spirit, always organise yourself to be clean and decent. However, he is in China and I am in Netherlands now, so I want to find the opportunity to connect with more cats. I will love them just like I love A Hwang. I accumulated a lot experience when I pet A Hwang for example: be gentle and slow, be quiet and respect their own nature, don't bother them when they are sleeping and eating. Play with them using their favorite toys. Don't force them do the things they won't do.

We recently asked Victoria to pet sit for the first time at our place. Because of the first time for both parties we made an informal meeting. She was on both time pretty punctual and a kind person to meet. Due our vacation Victoria stayed over the nights and took good care of our beloved fur friend Billie. We could tell he enjoyed her company as the attention and care she gave to him❤️. We had one important houserule, after given her this alerting she quickly adjust and even pointed us to always give her any feedback or comments so she can make us or Billie at eas. What a selfreflection! And she gave us an update of Billie through out pictures and videos. So so lovely and much needed! We definitely can recommend Victoria to everybody. Give it a go everyone!
