Animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and my family and I have always loved and cared for them as members of our family. I have had dogs throughout my life, so being around animals has always felt very natural to me. For around three years, I have also regularly looked after friends' dogs and cats, taking care of them when their owners are away and adapting to each pet's individual routine, personality and needs. I have experience with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles and simply keeping pets company. I have also cared for cats at home, and I absolutely love them. At the house where I currently live, we even ended up taking in a cat after giving her food and care — and, of course, I completely fell in love with her! I currently live in the Netherlands while studying, but my own dog, Aria, is still in Colombia. I miss her a lot, so caring for other animals is a lovely way for me to keep that connection with pets while I am away from home. I offer daytime and overnight pet sitting at the owner's home in Amsterdam and Utrecht. I am especially comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, but I am also happy to care for larger, well-behaved dogs. I am always happy to follow the routine that works best for your pet rather than imposing my own. For dogs, I usually enjoy going on 2–3 walks a day, depending on their routine and energy level. I especially love spending time in parks — sometimes I will simply sit with them and enjoy the fresh air together rather than rushing through a walk. I enjoy both active dogs who want to play and calmer dogs who are happy just to have some company. I am also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, giving treats and administering medication when needed, as long as the instructions are clearly explained. If a pet is anxious or misses their family, I am very affectionate and patient. I like giving them plenty of attention, cuddles and reassurance, while also respecting their personality and boundaries. For overnight stays, I would stay at your home during the night and would usually be out for only a few hours during the day. I am respectful of people's homes, clean and careful, and very happy to follow any house rules. I also love keeping owners updated, so I am happy to send photos and little messages throughout the day so you know how your pet is doing. 🐶🐱 I am available from Friday evening through Sunday, including daytime and overnight stays. I would love to meet you and your pet and give them the same care, affection and attention I would want for my own Aria. ❤️
