Experienced Pet Sitter & Absolute Animal Lover!
Hey! My name is Himena, and I love animals so much and have such a great affinity with them that I was recommended by friends and family to be a pet sitter. I grew up with hamsters and dogs, so I do understand the work and love that goes into caring for pets no matter how big or small. I have also helped out with taking care of cats for my extended family, and have had experience interacting with hedgehogs, ferrets, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits, so I am always able to connect with any pet easily :) I now have around 2 years of experience pet sitting in the Netherlands, and have been a favorite, trusted pet sitter for many cats and dogs (close to 10 different clients)! Being a fresh grad, I am unable to have pets of my own yet and miss being able to just hang out, cuddle, and play with them. When I pet sit, I spend as much time as I can doting on your fur babies by talking to them a bunch, giving them pets while they lie next to (or on top!) of me, going for walks (usually for dogs), playing with and grooming them. Of course, I take many pictures and videos along the way and love sending them to the pet parents! Scheduling: I have recently found a job after graduating and will only be able to do weekday evenings and weekends! House sitting: I have done daytime sitting to keep pets company while their parents are away at work, or overnight stays for when parents go on a trip. As usual, I love being around pets and stay with them all the day, and love having them sleep with me or be in the same room at night if it is in their habit to do so :) On top of taking care of your pets, I can help with things around the house if you need (eg. taking out the trash on a specific day, watering plants, bringing in mail, etc.). I like to make sure I clean up after myself and leave the house nice and tidy for you to come home to (and have gotten a lot of positive words for this!). Dog walks: The length of dog walks would depend on the activity level of the dog and what the owners' expectations are. In general, 30 minutes to an hour would be the average length. I would probably walk a route around the neighborhood and nearby parks, or if there is a specific place your dog likes, I would bring them there too! I do know how to train dogs to walk well, so if this is something you are keen on having, let me know! Pets I have experience with : -pets who were a little sick/had severe allergies and needed to be closely monitored and fed a certain way. I am also experienced with giving medication. -pets with separation anxiety and needed a lot of extra love and attention, and minimal periods of being away. I am the kind of sitter who will set up a video call with your anxious pet if I have to go out (usually only for groceries) so that I can keep talking to them :) -large dogs that are reactive to other things during walks. -very high energy dogs that need some behavioural training. Looking forward to pet sitting for you!
