I’m Kim, a 33-year-old Dutch dog lover living in Zaandam with my husband and our two rescue dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and caring for them genuinely makes me happy.

Our own dogs are rescues from abroad, aged 13 and 6, so I have experience with very different personalities, energy levels and needs. From senior dogs who love slow walks and quiet naps, to younger dogs who need more playtime and attention.

I currently combine pet sitting with my regular job until the end of July, but from August onward I’ll be fully available for dog walking, daycare, home visits and overnight stays. Because I work from home a lot and spend most of my time with the dogs, they are never left alone for more than 3 hours.

For me, the most important thing is that every dog feels safe, relaxed and truly cared for. I always take time to let dogs adjust calmly to me, my home and my dogs, while following their usual routines as much as possible. Every dog is different, and I adapt my care to what they need most.

A typical day includes multiple walks, playtime, cuddle moments, rest and lots of personal attention. Medication can also be given if needed.

During stays, I regularly send updates, photos and videos so you can fully relax knowing your dog is in good hands.
