About Pamela

30 years experience

Pet Care with love in Hilversum

I am Italian, but I had lived in Costa Rica for many years. I am a trainer and Physiotherapist, but a pet lover too! Since I was little I had pets of all kind: dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, turtles and i love to be surrounded by them. I can do long walks in the forest near my appartament or just laying in the sofa together and take a nap! My services: 1- Dog walks: my walks are around half hour or one hour, it depends on the owner and the dog. 2- Pet sitter at my home (sleep here or just pass the day with us). Usually I do 3 walks on a day: a long walk in the morning, another one in the afternoon and one just before bedtime. Also my daughter (13yo) love pets, so she's always playing with them. Doggies can walk around, there are not dangerous things around. I live in an appartment, so everything is closed and safe. They can sleep on the sofa, if the owner let them. But is also good bring his/her bed too. 3-Visit at home: are you not at home? I can feed your pet or take him/her out. I usually stay 1 hour at home if i just have to feed them, but if you need more time, let me know. I can also walk your dog. Your beloved pet will be very happy if you choose to let him/her with us. I always send a lot of pictures of the day, videos and if is necessary I can make a video call too. I will keep you continuously informed about your pet, so that you feel more comfortable and can know how the day is going. Your pet will be very fine here: 1- 3 times walk: morning, afternoon and night. If your dog need more or less walks, let me know. I have many green areas around the apartment, some parks and a huge forest. So there is a lot of places where we can walk/run. If your dog is not trained for came back when is unleash, don't worry, anyway we can take a nice walk. 2- Plenty time to be with them! Just leave home some days a few hours. But usually they are not be alone much cause there is almost always somebody at home. 3- I actually wanted to be a veterinarian but then I changed my plans. Despite that, my children's father is a veterinarian so I learned a lot from him, so i can put injections, give medicines or something like that (of course minors things). 4- The owner has to bring the pet's food. That's better for your pet, cause any change of alimentation may be bad for him/her. I will give the food at usually pet's schedule. 5- I can't accept dogs who are not trained to make pees or poop outside! A clean apartment is a better place for they and for us! 6- I can't accept dogs which can't let alone for some hours or are too noisy. That is not that much for me but for my neighbours because I live in an apartment. I speak Spanish, Italian, English and a bit of Dutch. If you want, we can take a bath to your doggo for a small extra fee (is for my 15 yo daughter 😊). My daughter also make cookies for dogs. I hope I can be with your pet soon!

Pamela en haar familie hebben ontzettend goed voor onze hond gezorgd. Hij is bijna een week bij hen geweest en voelde zich al snel helemaal op zijn gemak. De communicatie was duidelijk, prettig en regelmatig. Pamela was flexibel, rustig en zorgzaam, en stuurde leuke updates met foto’s. Dat gaf ons veel vertrouwen en rust terwijl we weg waren. Wij zouden Pamela zeker aanraden als oppas voor je hond!

Thanks again Pamela, we can see how much Buddy enjoyed staying with you. Nice pictures and videos of him happy and playful reassured us that he's in good hands while we're away. Until the next time!

It has been the 3rd time Olly stays with Pamela, she’s very reliable and Olly always wants to come back. She sends regular updates and is very flexible with the pick up/drop off times. She has become a regular sitter whenever I need help for Olly to stay for a night or just a couple of hours. 200% recommended
