Sarina

Hi there! My name is Sarina, nice to meet you :) I'm originally from Helsinki Finland but I have been living in Amsterdam for 5 years now. I have been pet sitting through Pawshake all this time, taking care of cats, dogs, bunnies and fish!

I have always loved animals more than human beings (yes it´s true :P) I grew up with a sweet Labrador and now my parents have super cute Hungrian Pumi (the funny eared black/greay cutie in the pictures) they live in Finland and I miss them a lot! To be able to interact with dogs and other pets while I can´t see my own pup, I love helping other people with pet sitting so they can have some time off.

At the moment me and my boyfriend don´t have our own furry family members. We live in Osdorp on a ground floor, in a big two floors apartment (with normal stairs, not steep ones). Your dog can stay in the big living room (around 36 sq.m) that can be closed if he is not able/allowed to go up stairs. All dogs are welcome upstairs and also to sleep in our bed. We have a small fenced garden (around 30 sq.m) and nice surroundings to go for a walk, in Osdorp.

We offer full service in our place, even for longer boardings, so your puppy or kitten is more than welcome here! The full service includes 2-4 walks depending on how many and how long walks your dog needs, feeding, giving possible medications, lots of love and playing time! I work from home so they won't be left alone during the work day!

What I also currently offer is 30-45 min lunch or evening walks (only in Osdorp) so your puppy doesn´t need to be all day alone if you have work or places to go. I also like running so if your dog is eager to run, we can do it together!

I do home visits (once per day (Nieuw West, de Pijp) or twice per day (Nieuw West only) To feed your bunnies or cats, cleaning their litter box and of course give them cuddles and play time :) (around 30+mins)

I also have stay over service to offer at your place to give full service which includes: sleep over, 2-4 walks depending how many and how long walks your dog needs, feeding, medicine, watering your plants and small cleanings as well, if you want so. (This I do in all Amsterdam areas but mainly only during weekends. If I am able to work with my laptop from your place then even longer is possible)

I am also a Reiki healer and I can give Reiki (energy treatment/healing with hands) for your pet if you want so, it´s included in the prices! It´s very relaxing and good for the animals too! As a summary: I am very loving, caring and responsible pet sitter and you can trust that your pet gets the best possible care while you are away. I always send pictures and updates to you so you can be care free and relaxed during your time. I have my regular customers but I´m open for new ones as well. Just drop me a message and I can call you to discuss more about your pet and schedules, and to finally set up a meet & greet! (First meeting is for free, if you want a trial night that is charged)

Best Regards, Sarina
