Safety, trust & environment

I have an apartment that is a bit over 50m2. For me, it is okay to have dogs on the couch and in bed, but that depends on what the owner of the dog has in habits, which I will follow. Within this apartment I have two rabbits living in a cage, so it would be preferable for the dogs not to bark excessively or possibly even jump on/against the cage. Next to the apartment, we have a (relatively) big fenced private garden where there are sometimes other dogs from owners in the same building. There is lots of grass and the dogs can run around and play here. I usually take every dog into this garden every day. Whether they want to play or just sniff around, it’s always nice to spend time outdoors! When I will be taking care of your animal at his/her own home, I will follow all the rules and expectations that we discuss on forehand. I find it very important that an animal gets consistency in the rules and habits, so we will discuss how we can best follow this with the least change possible.

Information Maaike S. would like to know about your pet

What I find most important to know on forehand, is what should be avoided with your dog. If there is anything that is bound to go wrong or that needs extra attention from me.

A typical day

With my school schedule, I have free time whenever I want. This means that I can do all the fun activities with your dog that he/she likes the most. I can give you dog all of my attention and will search for the type of behavior that fits best. When the times aren’t too busy, I also like to plan forest trips with the dogs, where we can walk around for hours and meet many new friends!

Pet care experience

I have been raised with animals and always had them around me when growing up. Since when I can remember, I always wanted to help with the care in any way I could, this has always been my biggest passion. At my 12th, I started taking care of the animals of friends and family too. This was a very nice way for me to spend my spare time and I turned it into my side job when I was 15. After high school, I followed a special education and internship where taking care of animals was key. We were treating and caring for animals, while guiding people with personal problems to help them get back into society. I have lots of patience and all the time in the world to make sure your pet feels comfortable and at home. I also have experience with anxious and selective dogs. My first priority will always be the happiness and wellbeing of all animals! When talking about young animals, I have a good experience too. I have helped with raising many different ones and had multiple of my own too. I can help to house train your dog and teach him/her all the basics. I will follow and help with all the rules and habits that you’d want your youngster(s) to have.

Maaike s’est très bien occupé de notre chat en notre absence, elle a été super et nous lui avons accordée toute notre confiance ! Merci beaucoup ! Maaike was wonderful with our cat while we were away. We trusted her completely! Thank you very much!

We left our 8-month-old miniature poodle with Maaike for a week for boarding, and she was absolutely amazing with him. She kept us updated regularly with messages, photos and videos about how he was doing and all the fun activities they were having together, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that she has a lot of knowledge about dogs, their needs, and their behavior. Our puppy came home calmer, more confident, and he even started sleeping in his own bed instead of ours — something we had been struggling with for a long time! She’s excellent not only with dogs, but with their owners as well. Communication was always easy, open, and reassuring, and she was happy to answer all of our questions. We truly felt that our puppy was cared for like part of her family. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and experienced dog sitter.

Thank you Maaike for taking care of our 2 cats. She send us pictures everyday, she took time to really play with them and cuddling them. When we came back from our vacation they were at ease as usual, not stressed at all. The communication was really fluent. We will definitely call her again ☺️
