Hi! 😁 My name is Ginevra, originally from Northern Italy, and now living in Leiden for my studies. Animals have always been the most essential part of my life. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, turtles, mice, hamsters, chicken... You name it, and I’ve probably cared for it! Since moving abroad, I don’t get to see my family’s pets as often, and I miss them immensely. That’s why I decided to become a pet sitter: it gives me the chance to share my love for animals while helping others feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m an active person who enjoys hiking in nature, and I’ve also been horse riding since childhood. This has taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy adapting to the unique needs of every pet I meet. In the future, I plan on working directly with animals in my career. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I would be happy to give them all the care and attention they deserve. Services 🐾: - DOG WALKING (usually 30-40 minutes per walk, but it also depends on your dog's needs, age, personality and energy level. Longer or shorter walks are perfectly fine, just let me know what you prefer and we can discuss it and adjust everything) - PET SITTING (in your home, 30-40 minutes visits, but longer ones can always be discussed. Available for dogs, cats, and other small and large animals. I can feed, play, give medication, keep them company, and follow any specific routines you have) - DOGGY DAYCARE (available from late morning/early afternoon until late afternoon/early evening on weekdays, but depends from day to day! So please ask first + at all hours during weekends. Price then gets adjusted. I can pick up and drop off your dog myself if within reasonable distance) - DOG BOARDING (please ask in advance for the service. I am available for picking up and dropping off your dog if within reasonable distance) I will send updates and pictures during each service, so you can relax knowing everything is going smoothly. For first-time bookings, let's please make sure to schedule a quick meeting first, so we can get to know each other, and I can get to know the pets. P.S. I’m planning on learning some Dutch while living here, but I would prefer to communicate in English for now, so that nothing gets misunderstood! Thanks :)
