Pet care experience

responsible & genuine doggy lover

I’ve always loved being around animals and genuinely enjoy looking after them. I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs before, from taking them out for walks and keeping them company to feeding them, playing with them and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m quite a calm and caring person, so I’m happy to let a pet settle in at their own pace rather than expecting them to immediately warm up to me. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks, and I’m more than happy to follow whatever works best for them. I’d just really love the chance to spend more time with animals, give them some attention and get out for some nice walks. I’d always treat someone else’s pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for and comfortable while they’re with me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended! I booked Jolanda at short notice to look after my two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how caring and attentive she is. She kept me updated throughout the day with regular messages and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to two very happy, relaxed pups. She even managed to gain the trust of my more nervous dog (which isn’t easy). She was professional, reliable, and genuinely passionate about their wellbeing. I will definitely be booking her again.

Jolanda has been looking after my elderly cat for a while now, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine leaving him with anyone else. He’s quite fussy and set in his ways, but somehow he loved Jolanda from the moment she walked in the door. She has this really gentle, calm way about her that animals seem to sense straight away. I always know he’s in the best hands — she takes time to sit with him, gives him his medication without any fuss, and keeps me updated with photos and little notes about how he’s doing. It’s such a relief to be away and not have to worry. Jolanda’s also brilliant around the house — tidy, organised, and really respectful of my home. I always come back to everything just as I left it, sometimes even a bit better! She’s had pets of her own and it really shows in how naturally she connects with animals and how seriously she takes their care. She’s one of those rare people who are not only reliable and responsible, but genuinely kind and caring. I trust her completely, and my cat does too — which says it all, really.

Schedule

I work Tues-Sat till mid afternoon, with full availability on Sun-Mon. After work unless I have plans I tend to slump on the sofa, so taking your dog out for a late afternoon walk would benefit us both 😅Please reach out and we can find a schedule that suits you and your pet’s needs. I don’t have my own car, so I prefer local clients or boarding at my place.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m highly attentive to animal body language and always prioritise creating a safe, and stress free environment. I allow pets to set the pace, to make sure every interaction is comfortable and positive. Whether your pet thrives on affection or prefers calm companionship, I can suit their individual needs.

A typical day

Depending on wether your friend is boarding or getting a walk/spending time with me, the typical day is shaped entirely around your dog’s needs, whether that’s fun walks and outdoor play, or cozy indoor snuggles and downtime. I make sure your dog gets the perfect balance of activity, attention, and comfort. I am happy to just look after your dog in my home for the day, with some walks, or only take them on walk.
