Hello I'm Autum!
I’m a huge animal lover, former Master’s student at Leiden University, and working professional living in Leiden. Having grown up around animals and cared for pets throughout my life, I know how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your furry family members when you’re away or busy with work. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long, scenic walks around the park or your cat just wants a quiet companion to lounge near, I adapt entirely to their individual personality and routine! Why Choose Me? Attentive & Responsible: I am reliable, calm, and very attentive to every animal's needs, behavior, and body language. Active Walks & Play: I love being outdoors! Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and fun outdoor breaks in nearby parks and green spaces. Routine-Oriented: I strictly adhere to your feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and any specific house rules or training preferences you have established. Peace of Mind & Updates: I send frequent photos, videos, and brief updates throughout every visit or stay so you always know how happy and settled your pet is! Services Offered Dog Walking: Structured, engaging walks (30 to 60+ minutes) tailored to your dog’s energy level and age. Home Visits (Cats & Small Pets): Fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, gentle affection, and basic house checks (bringing in mail, watering plants). Dog Sitting / Boarding: Attentive companionship, regular bathroom breaks, and lots of cozy cuddles. House Rules & Preferences Types of Pets: Dogs (all sizes welcome), cats, and small animals. A Special Note for Cat Owners: I have a huge soft spot for cats and deep respect for their unique personalities! Whether your cat is an outgoing cuddle-bug who demands endless chin scratches or a shy, sensitive soul who needs time and quiet space to feel comfortable, I let them set the pace. What my cat visits include: Meal & Water Care: Fresh food according to your exact schedule, washed bowls, and fresh water refills. Litter Box Maintenance: Daily scooping and keeping the area clean so your home stays fresh. Play & Enrichment: Feather wands, laser pointers, catnip toys, or whatever interactive play your cat loves best. Gentle Company: Lots of gentle affection, lap time, or just sitting quietly nearby so they feel secure and less lonely while you’re away. Medication & Special Diets: Comfortable following precise feeding instructions or administering basic oral/topical medications if needed. Photo Updates: Daily photo and video updates showing your happy, purring cat! Requirements: House-trained, vaccinated, and comfortable on a leash. Meet & Greet: I always love doing a quick, complimentary Meet & Greet beforehand to ensure we’re a great match for each other!
