Sophie

Hi there! I am a 23-year-old Internation Relations Master's student who has very recently moved to Leiden. I am originally from Ireland where I grew up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes. For as long as I've been alive, we've had at least 4 pets in the house!

I have a lot of experience taking care of, minding, walking and administering medication to animals. I miss my own dogs and cats a lot, which is one of my reasons to pursue a job as a pet sitter/ walker. Currently, at home in Ireland, we have three dogs. One small terrier a lurcher and an elderly collie. I frequently dog sit for a family with three dogs- 2 cockapoos and a Yorkshire terrier. On top of this, I dog sit/ walk a German Sheppard Mix and a Terrier cross. This summer, I also minded a Labrador who was visually impaired. If required, I would be able to obtain a reference from these dog owners. 

I am happy to do home visits and feed, play with and mind your pets. I am also very happy to help out with other tasks while I am there- emptying litter boxes, cleaning up poo, watering plants, etc. I am very flexible with time so I can adapt to your schedule. 

For walks, I can do walks of a variety of lengths. I can also do more than one a day if that is what the pet requires. 

I am also more than happy to pet sit. This would need to be at your home, but again, I am more than willing to do other tasks around the house.
