I am a South African who relocated to the Netherlands. I currently live in Leiden Merenwijk with my husband and three cats. What to expect from me: I visit your pet for an hour, once/twice daily depending on our arrangement, after which you can expect an update and some pics. I am familiar with all tasks regarding cats (such as feeding, showing affection, playing, grooming/brushing, cleaning litter boxes) and dogs (walking, reinforcing behaviour with and without treats, playing fetch or tug-of-war, cleaning/drying off after walks, etc). I am also comfortable to administer medicine if needed. About me: Growing up, we always had many dogs. My father mainly trained dogs for the police, but also took in all kinds of neglected animals: from bunnies, to peacocks to monkeys. We also had a huge, free-spirited ginger cat, and as an adult I adopted Gypsy a little calico the moment I had a pet-friendly place. Benji our bengal joined the family when I got married. Similarly, in the Netherlands we have adopted our cats who have been such a pleasure to get to know. I worked in the medical profession for more than a decade and am a natural caregiver. I am very happy to take my cues from your pet, regarding if they want to be petted, play, eat, etc. I understand certain pets are slower to warm up and others are comfortable from the get go. Furthermore, I'll gladly listen to your requests and suggestions regarding your pet's needs and take it from there. I am trustworthy and reliable. Kind and caring. Please let me know if you'd like some assistance!
