Jordyn

Kia ora and Hallo!

My name is Jordyn and I’m from New Zealand. I have moved to Amsterdam to pick up more of a routine after traveling Europe and the UK for the last half of 2022. I'm really looking forward to petsitting cats, dogs and small animals as I love caring for these beautiful creatures.

Currently, my passions include walks, developing my digital drawing skills, and reflecting, learning, developing on myself. Back in New Zealand, at my family home, we have a bengal cross cat who is timide and very cuddly. I also had another furry friend in our work place, Thomas, a pure white cat (so I loved going to work! Haha). I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life and really enjoy their company. I was involved with Crafty Volunteers, where we sewed, knitted etc clothing for people who needed them. I worked full time as a Marketing Coordinator in the film industry and when I returned home I would care for my indoor garden and vegetable patch. I enjoy hiking and doing outdoor activities. I also like to stay inside for some recharging time–if this includes a furry friend, that is even better!

I have completed many house sits through Trusted House Sitters looking after a number of pets from cats and dogs. In the past, I have cared for cats and small dogs and animals. I’m comfortable with befriending them and am looking forward to meeting them and you. I can provide a kind spirit, attention, and give them space if required. I have also house sat before for family and friends. I leave the house clean and everything in it’s place like when I arrived.

My motivation to joining this platform is to meet people and animals and to explore some more of Amsterdam as I look after your furry family while you are away. Being in the company of a kind animal brings me comfort where it reminds me of my family. As my flat in Amsterdam unfortunately doesn't allow pets I will only be able to do houses sits/pet sits, house visits. I currently work full time in hospitality so my max hours that I am away from the house is 7 hours, my schedule changes weekly so some days I can spend the whole day with the pets and other days I will care for them before and after my shift! Please reach out if you have any questions about my availability as my schedule changes frequently. Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Below are my reviews from Trusted Housesitters:

Joel - Swords, Ireland, 4 - 8 Nov 2022

"Jordyn is a very warm and caring person who had an instant connection with our sweet golden retriever. She was also respectful to our standoffish cat, giving her the care and space she needs. Jordyn took great care of our apartment, keeping things tidy and clean. Our golden was so sad to see her leave! We highly recommend Jordyn, and would he happy to have her watch our pets again!"

Tamsin - Edinburgh, United Kingdom, 19 - 22 Oct 2022

"Jordyn was a pleasure to have in our home. Our pets seemed to really enjoy having her around, she stayed a few extra days so we were able to see for ourselves how comfortable our pets were with her , especially our rescue doggie Luna. Jordyn was very unobtrusive but also very friendly and helpful. She was chatty and engaging too. Most of all we felt completely comfortable leaving our home and pets in her hands. Thank you again Jordyn!"

Karen - Bedford, United Kingdom, 6 - 13 Oct 2022

"I felt so relaxed on holiday while Jordyn was per sitting. On the day i wasnt feeling my best i got a video and photos. Bedding was washed and cats looked great. Thanks Jordyn x"

Jackie - Leeds, United Kingdom, 17 - 26 Sep 2022

"Hit it off with Jordyn from the point of meeting. Chatted for hrs! Pets seemed to enjoy the attention and her company. All perfect on my return. Definitely invite back. Thank you Jordyn xx"

Pauline - Scunthorpe, United Kingdom, 13 - 16 Sep 2022

"Jordyn is a very lovely, polite young lady. My Leo absolutely adored her. I thoroughly recommend her as a house\pet sitter and hope to use her services again."

Alex - London, United Kingdom, 26 Aug - 2 Sep 2022

"Jordyn has been a fantastic house sitter. We felt totally confident and at ease after speaking to her and our initial meet. We had no hesitation leaving our (very beloved) French bulldog with her and we've returned to a very happy pup ! She is super clean and treated our house with so much respect. On top of this - a great person and a delight to spend time with! Always welcome back!"
