Kattenoppas in Grave

Over: I’ve been living with and caring for pets since I was 11 years old, gaining over 8 years of hands-on experience with various dog breeds. I’ve looked after a Yorkshire Terrier, a Golden Retriever puppy, a medium-sized Bichon Frisé, and a Labrador. Currently, I live with my Bichon Frisé and Labrador, who continue to teach me the importance of patience, consistency, and care. My experience includes feeding routines, grooming and cleaning, and daily outdoor play to ensure they stay healthy, active, and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility that comes with their care. I’m currently in a gap period before starting my study program in September, which means I’m fully available 24/7. I can dedicate as much time as needed to provide your dog with safe, loving, and attentive care throughout the day. The first thing I like to do is create a calm, safe, and respectful environment with every pet I meet. I carefully follow all instructions, including feeding schedules, walking times, and any medical needs. I’m also happy to send photo updates at any time so you can feel comfortable and at peace knowing your pet is in good hands.

Over: Ik heb mijn hele leven al huisdieren gehad. Katten en honden. Vroeger had ik een husky, nu heb ik een zwarte Labrador van 4 jaar. Samen spenderen we veel tijd. We maken lange wandelingen, knuffelen veel, doen dutjes en leren nieuwe trucjes. Het is me helaas nog niet gelukt om hem te leren de bal weer in te leveren na het apporteren. On-mo-ge-lijk. Wat bied ik aan: Liefdevolle verzorging voor jouw huisdier(en), naar jouw wensen. Veel is mogelijk in overleg. Vanaf 1 oktober heb ik weer een daginvulling, maar tot die tijd heb ik genoeg tijd en aandacht om fulltime huisdieren te verzorgen. Alleen de weekenden houd ik graag vrij. Bij mij draait alles om een goede afstemming tussen oppas en baasje(s). Alles wat ik doe, doe ik met liefde voor jouw huisdier(en). Ik pas mij aan aan jullie wensen en vertel daarin wat mijn mogelijkheden zijn.

Over: Van jongs af aan ben ik al een echte dierenvriend. Huisdieren verzorg ik met alle liefde, alsof het mijn eigen dieren zijn. Dankzij mijn werk als hondentrainer, trimmer en mijn ervaring bij een uitlaatservice heb ik ontzettend veel kennis opgedaan, vooral over honden. Ik begrijp hun lichaamstaal, hun behoeftes en hun emoties. Elk dier krijgt bij mij de aandacht en zorg die het verdient – met geduld, respect en een warm hart. Momenteel volg ik alleen een thuisstudie tot kynologisch hondenmasseur. Omdat ik zelf de uren kan bepalen (op 1 verplichte praktijkdag in de maand na ) ben ik erg flexibel. Omdat een nieuw persoon al spannend genoeg is voor een dier verzorg ik jou huisdier met alle liefde in zijn of haar vertrouwde omgeving. Je kunt met mij bespreken wat de vaste routines zijn en wat het beste past bij ons allemaal.

Over: I have taken care of pets since I was 7 years old, when my family started a dog business. In the past years, I attended multiple dog shows and trained different dog breeds. My grandfather`s profession is a dog breeder and trainer and I always helped him and picked up some useful skills in pet care. I grew up helping run a dog kennel with my family in Romania, where we raised and trained dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs. We worked most closely with Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Bernese Mountain Dogs, but I’m comfortable handling any breed, including mixed breeds and rescue dogs who may need extra patience or structure. My experience includes obedience training, guarding, socialization, and correcting aggressive or reactive behavior, always tailored to the individual dog’s needs. I understand how to adjust care and training depending on breed traits, age, energy level, past trauma, or medical conditions, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep them safe, calm, and fulfilled. Pet care is a core part of my daily life. I’m currently catching up on university credits, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of free time that I dedicate to dog sitting, walks, and outdoor activities. Whether it's early morning or late evening, I’m able to adjust to each pet's needs and routine. Caring for animals isn't just something I do on the side — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I currently do not host dogs in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in your home while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — walks, meals, attention, and playtime included — so they feel safe and relaxed. I know how stressful it can be for pets to stay in shelters or busy kennels, and I always aim to offer the opposite: calm, one-on-one care, where your dog feels secure in their environment. This way, you return home to the same happy pet you left — no disruption, just wagging tails.

“Steffy is an amazing pet sitter! She was very communicative and sent us daily updates in the morning and evening. This was our first time ever to leave our cats and we couldn’t have felt better and relaxed with anyone else. Steffy is very responsible and takes care of little details which really made our trip worry-free! It’s great to know we can rely on her when we’re gone for long trips! Our cats absolutely loved her and were 100% around her. Last but not least, she’s very thoughtful and mindful and made sure the house was tidy and neat when we came home. It’s definitely not our last time with Steffy! We really cannot thank you enough ♥️♥️”
