Whitney

Hello, I'm Whitney! I'm a Canadian that relocated to Amsterdam 5 years ago. I came here to study, and stayed because I couldn't get enough of this wonderful city.

I have been a dog owner for the entirety of my life (33 years and counting!)... however since moving to Amsterdam, I have been missing the presence of animals in my life. Therefore I see dog-sitting, cat-sitting, dog-walking, and dog-visits (or for any other types of animals!) as an excellent job opportunity, to care for the animals that have been lacking from my new life abroad.

While living in Canada, I grew up in a household that always had dogs and I have personally owned dogs of my own (in the photo) and I have also been a dog & cat-sitter for several friends when they take vacations. Therefore I have been in contact with many different types of breeds, as well as many different dog & cat personalities. And with all modesty aside, I think animals tends to appreciate my company as much as I appreciate theirs!

Although not very exotic, I have owned a salamander and fish - so I do have experience with taking care of reptiles.

As a last note about myself, I am a Physiotherapist working in Amsterdam. This type of profession affords me the time and freedom to become a member of the Pawshake community, so please book me for your dog-walking and pet-sitting needs!
