Calm Home in Haarlem • Home All Day
Hi! I’m Alisa, and I’d be happy to care for your dog or cat while you’re away 🤍 Whether you need boarding in my home, house sitting in yours, dog walking, or home visits, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for 🐾 I live in a quiet two-story house (about 90 m²) in Haarlem Noord, in the peaceful Indischewijk neighborhood. It’s a calm residential area with lovely green spaces nearby, mostly home to families and retirees, making it a great environment for relaxed walks I don’t have any pets of our own here in the Netherlands, so your dog will have our full attention. I work from home every day—I’m a ceramic artist (all my pieces are animal themed, huge animal lover here), so your pet will not be left home alone. My home is quiet, cozy, and perfect for pets who enjoy a calm environment I grew up surrounded by animals. My family has always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a part of my life since childhood. Over the years I’ve looked after breeds including a Black Russian Terrier, Cane Corso, and Prague Ratter, as well as many cats—from tiny kittens to senior cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can always feel calm knowing exactly how your pet is doing :) Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, naps, or just having someone nearby, I’ll happily adapt to their routine and personality 🫶🏻 If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐾

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alisa was a phenomenal dog and home sitter for us! She walked the dog more times than we asked her for and handled our selective border collie with care and compassion! She also was a great companion for our Pomeranian who requires less physical activity and gave him lots of snuggles. Both dogs were very calm when we arrived back home and the house was exactly how we left it! Definitely recommend!
Honestly the best dog sitter we have ever had. The evening of our return from our trip, our German Shepard kept going upstairs looking for her friend. Alisa is also such a lovely person when you first meet her and so good at sending pictures and updates.

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and will not be left alone. I’m very flexible and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine, whether it’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing a calm companion during the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends with advance notice

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet two-story home in Haarlem Noord with no other pets, so your dog or cat will receive our full attention. My neighborhood is peaceful, with several lovely green areas for walks. I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide
A typical day
I know that every animal has its own personality, and I always give them the time and patience they need to feel comfortable and at home. I’ll also happily send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is doing well
