Hi! I’m Laura, I live in Haarlem Oost and work remotely. I’m caring, responsible and active, and I genuinely love having animals around me. I'm open to sit in Haarlem but also in neighbouring areas like Heemstede, Ardenhout, Overveen, Bloemendaal, Santpoort-Zuid, etc.

I grew up with my schnauzer Saku, who was with us for 15 years, so I know how much a pet can become part of the family. I still miss having that companionship, and pet sitting feels like a lovely way to have pets around again while also helping someone else.

I offer daytime and overnight house sitting, and I'm comfortable with sitting dogs, cats, bunnies or other pets. Since I work remotely, I can bring my laptop and work from your home, so your pet can have plenty of company throughout the day.

During my visit/stay I can feed your pet, refresh water, play with them, give them attention, take them out and give treats if that is part of their routine.

I love walking with dogs, always on the leash, playing with them, cuddling them and generally pampering them a little. I also tend to talk to them like they are babies, which I think happens automatically once they are cute enough!

My dog walks are at least 30 minutes, and I adapt the number and length of walks to your dog’s normal routine, age and energy level. I’ll always ask where your dog normally likes to walk and keep their familiar routes in the routine. If you’re open to something new, I’m also happy to suggest some of my favorite walking spots around Haarlem.

I usually send photos, videos and little updates while you’re away, so you know what we have been up to. Before the first booking, I’d like to meet you and your pet, hear about their routine and little habits, and make sure we’re all comfortable with each other.

Please note, additional pets will be added as an extra fee of €5 per pet per day per service and this is usually added to the total after the booking is initiated.

I speak English, Spanish and a bit of Dutch :)
