Where Even Shy Pets Feel Safe
I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have always had at least two pets by my side. Animals have always felt natural to me — I often feel a stronger connection with them than with people. I currently have three beloved pets back in my home country — Elly the dog, Mamm the cat, and Ferry the ferret — and I miss them deeply. Because of that, I would truly love to share my care and affection with pets here in the Netherlands. I’ve always been able to find the right “language” with animals, even those who are shy or not very people-friendly. I’m patient, calm, and respectful of every pet’s unique personality, and I will always treat your pet like my own. 💛

Schedule
I am currently a Master’s degree student at university, which gives me a flexible schedule and a good amount of free time alongside my studies. I usually have up to three free weekdays, plus weekends available for pet care. Because my academic schedule is structured but not overwhelming, I’m able to plan my time well and give pets the attention, walks, playtime, and companionship they need without rushing.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I am calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual needs and boundaries. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care requirements. In your home, I will treat both your pet and your space with full respect and responsibility. I make sure pets feel secure, stress-free, and understood — especially those who may be shy or need extra patience. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication for complete peace of mind.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet will be structured around their usual routine to make them feel safe and comfortable. We’ll go for walks, play interactive games, and enjoy plenty of cuddle time if they like affection. I make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feeding times, rest periods, and any special instructions will always be followed carefully.

- Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, allergies, medications, fears, or any behavioral traits. It’s important for me to understand what makes your pet feel safe and happy. I also like to know how they react to other dogs, strangers, or new environments so I can provide the best possible care.
