Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover w/ lots of experience
About Me: I am an experienced pet caregiver providing reliable, high-quality care in Amsterdam. Alongside pet sitting on Rover, I am currently building my freelance business. Because my weekly routine involves lots of laptop work, I am a great match for pets who thrive on daytime companionship—I bring my work with me, and your pet gets a calm, attentive, and quiet presence on the couch with them. . I have over 16 years of experience caring for both beloved family pets and new furry friends. I truly enjoy learning each animal's individual quirks and gaining their trust on their own terms, whether that is instant or takes patience. I have extensive experience with elderly cats and dogs, pets with special medical needs, and puppies and kittens, and I can comfortably take care of your pets with any quirks or high-maintenance needs. . ☀️ Available for Daytime Dog Sitting & Puppy Care I offer extended daytime care blocks and house sitting at your home between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM (typically in 4 to 5-hour blocks). Please note that I do not offer overnight stays. This is for owners looking for dedicated daytime company, puppy socialization, or care while you are at work or out for the day. . 📍Local Neighborhood Discount Do you live in Transvaalbuurt, Oosterparkbuurt, or Weesperzijde? I offer a 15% discount on dog walks and drop-in visits for nearby neighbors. Message me to coordinate!

Ratings and reviews
Sophia took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. She was incredibly flexible, kind and reliable, and kept in touch with us throughout our time away. We really appreciated the regular updates and especially the lovely photos she sent us of our cat 🥹🙏🏼 It was such a comfort knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 💛
Oliver absolutely loved Sophia and I could tell that he really enjoyed their walk. Sophia is absolutely lovely and clearly understands pets - she asked all the relevant questions and was very open to special instructions eg to be careful with Oliver around kids because he's scared of them and could start barking.
Everything went great and Sophia was very easy to communicate. Rocket and Ahsoka were in good hands!
Sophia heeft super goed op onze katjes gepast. De katten voelden zich meteen op hun gemak bij haar. De communicatie verloopt ook super soepel en we zullen een volgende keer zeker weer bij Sophia boeken.
Sophia has taken great care of my cat while I was away, making sure he's fed and entertained. Loved the daily updates and photos! Recommended!

Schedule
I am often available in the middle of the day during the week as well as evenings and weekends. I'm willing to do up to 2 check-ins a day depending on the distance from me, it just depends on the specific needs of each pet of course!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always prioritize the owner's directions and a pet’s usual routines. I think this is most important for a pet's comfort with a new person. I always maintain a calm energy and approach animals on their own terms, at their own speed... most important is their comfort!
A typical day
I am pretty chill and love to spend lots of time cuddling on the couch with a cat or dog. I think mental enrichment is very important too, whether that is a treat-based puzzle, a toy, outside time, interactive play, etc.
