Pet care experience

Just a girl who loves fur babies

As a dedicated pet lover with a lifetime of experience, I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with a deep understanding of canine care. Growing up as an only child, I have had the privilege of caring for over 16 dogs throughout my life, providing them with love, attention, and proper care. I have spent several years honing my skills in dog care, including caring for puppies and senior dogs. In fact, I have had the privilege of caring for my two beloved senior dogs who were both blind and deaf in their last years, demonstrating my commitment to providing specialized care for pets with unique needs. With a loving and kind demeanor, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of all animals in my care. Additionally, I reside in a safe and pet-friendly neighborhood, providing a secure and welcoming environment for any furry friends entrusted to my care.

I’m so glad we found Saskia! We requested her services last minute and she accepted! - she took such good care of our sweet girl, I was comfortable leaving our dog and had no worries on our trip. I definitely would use her again in the future and recommend her to others!

Saskia was a great cat sitter, taking extra care to make our cat (and us) feel at ease. Her thoughtful questions, attention to detail, and extensive experience were very reassuring. Saskia and her family gave our shy kitty plenty of space to warm up to them, and we were so happy to see his tail up in our update photos. Would definitely recommend for new or repeat bookings!

I am so grateful to have found the perfect pet sitter for my cat Thor. Thor is a very affectionate and gentle cat who thrives on attention and cuddles. I was hesitant to leave him in someone else's care, but my worries quickly disappeared when I saw how well my Saskia connected with Thor. Not only did she provide him with the love and attention he craves, but she also went above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable and happy in her care. I came back to a content and well-loved cat, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention Saskia provided. Thank you for taking such great care of Thor!

I cannot thank Saskia enough for taking care of my Australian shepherd dog Lou while I was away. Lou has severe anxiety and is incredibly hyper, making it difficult for others to handle him. But Saskia went above and beyond to ensure Lou felt comfortable and loved during my absence. Not only did she provide him with the necessary exercise and attention, but she also implemented calming techniques to help ease his anxiety. I came back to a happy and well-behaved pup, and I know I can always trust her to take care of Lou in the future. Thank you for being an amazing pet sitter!

I've known Saskia for years, and I can't recommend her enough as a pet caregiver. She's incredibly trustworthy, with a deep love for animals. Having had pets of her own, she knows how to provide the attentive and compassionate care that pets need. You can trust Saskia to treat your pets like family. —ANDY V
