Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Anastasia! I'm an art historian and lecturer, and a devoted dog lover. I live with a calm 5-year-old English Cocker Spaniel, and while I’d love to have more dogs, I put my love into caring for others’ furry companions. I’ve been raising and training dogs for over 7 years — from playful puppies to calm adults. I’ve completed several courses in obedience and dog behavior, so I know how to respond to different needs and personalities with patience and care. One of my key strengths is working with anxious and highly social dogs who struggle to be alone — I’m almost always at home and lead a quiet lifestyle, so we make the perfect team. I live in a peaceful, green area in Amsterdam-Noord, just 7 minutes from Noordpark metro station. My private house with a fully fenced garden allows dogs to safely enjoy fresh air and outdoor time throughout the day. We’re also surrounded by lovely parks like Noorderpark and Vliegenbos, and there’s even a cozy doghouse in the living room for dogs who need their own quiet corner.
Reviews
Anastasia took care of Zuko for a day and did a great job. She kept us regularly updated and sent lots of pictures, which was amazing. She followed his routine, and Zuko looked calm and cheerful on their walks and was his usual playful self when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Anastasia
Our puppy Teddy enjoyed so much. Will definitely do again.
Anastasia took care of our toy terrier for two days and everything went perfectly. She sent us photos throughout the day, was always available, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We knew our dog was in loving and responsible hands. Recommend!
I’ve left my cute Shiba Inu, Hichi, with Anastasia three times, and both my dog and I were very happy with the experience. Hichi was excited to see Anastasia each time. We regularly received photos and updates, and Anastasia was always attentive to her condition. Hichi quickly warmed up to both her and her dog, Lord. They definitely had a great time together.

Safety, trust & environment
At my home, dogs can enjoy a secure, enclosed garden where they can safely play or relax in the fresh air. They’re never alone — my own dog, a very calm and gentle English Cocker Spaniel, is always around for quiet company. He’s not aggressive at all and gets along well with other dogs. I make sure each dog feels safe and at ease, whether they prefer cuddles, quiet time, or playful walks in the nearby parks.

Information Anastasia I. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs, routines, or behavioral traits I should be aware of — especially anxiety, reactivity, or medical issues. I’m happy to adjust our day accordingly. I generally work best with social, calm or sensitive dogs who enjoy peaceful company and a gentle daily rhythm.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning walk between 7:00 and 9:00 in the park, followed by breakfast at home. After that, I sit down at my desk to work, while the dogs nap peacefully in a calm and quiet space. Around lunchtime, I eat in the garden — the dogs enjoy some free time in the fenced garden, stretch their legs, and play a bit. Then I return to work, and the house stays quiet so the dogs can rest undisturbed. At 19:00, we head out for our evening walk to wrap up the day.

Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work as a freelancer. A couple of days a week I work from home on my laptop, and the rest of the time I edit videos from my phone — which means I’m flexible and almost always at home. I'm always happy to welcome dogs into my space and give them the time, attention, and calm presence they need.
