Elena

Hi, I am Elena from Italy and obviously, I love animals! 

I am currently working most of my days from home so this is the perfect job for me because I am very flexible with my schedule. I am usually busy in the morning (from 9 am) so I am more available in the early morning or evening/afternoon (after 6pm).

I am used to pets and had them since I was little. My first dog Sissy died at the age of 18 years old.

Two turtles, JJ and Concita, are still growing and having fun in my parent's garden. I also had experience with hamsters and finally with cats. 

After taking care of my neighbor's black cat, I adopted this beautiful cat which I named Freddy, because he is a Queen 👸 I also decided, together with my partner, to start fostering cats to help them and give Freddy a new partner in crime 😅 His name is Finix but we renamed him el pirata, since he only has one eye. We now adopted another cat, Nacho, since Freddy is in love with him and us too ahah

I live near Utrecht Central station in a spacious apartment with my cats and my partner, therefore I prefer to go to someone else place, rather than keep them at my place. I am available to pet-sitting in Utrecht, nearby my area (max 10 min by bike), both weekdays and weekends. 

Unfortunately, Freddy has been diagnosed with FIP. The good news is that we are fighting this illness and I am now able to inject his medicine, so I am available in case your cat needs subcutaneous injections too. Additionally, I am able to administer medication to pets, if necessary.  

In my services, I include a lot of cuddles and playing time but also cleaning and feeding the pets. I tend to stay around 30 min during my visit unless specified otherwise by the owner. For dogs, I normally do a 30 min walk. I usually don't do more than 2 pets at the same time/day because I wanna make sure to provide enough attention to them all. 

I can also water the plants and take care of other small tasks in the house like bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, etc. 

For further questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to making this a dream job :)
