About
Hello! My name is Ellen, and I’m 51 years old. I have two lovely dogs, a Havanese and a Tibetan Terrier. They are both friendly and get along very well with other animals.
I am looking for a housesitting opportunity in June, July or August in the Netherlands or Belgium, and my two dogs, Pepper and Louise, will be coming with me. We would be happy to look after your home, with or without pets.
I am a professional home-based dog and cat sitter, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Before becoming a pet sitter, I worked as a healthcare support worker, supporting people with intellectual disabilities.
I am responsible, caring and experienced in looking after both animals and homes.
Experience with pets & homes
We have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, including a variety of breeds such as British Longhairs, Labradoodles, Wetterhouns (Frisian Water Dogs), Stabyhouns (Frisian Pointing Dogs), Giant Schnauzers and Pomeranians.
In addition to my practical experience as a professional dog sitter, I have attended dog grooming courses in Hasselt and Antwerp, Belgium, covering:
Dog breed knowledge
Canine first aid
Canine behaviour
Dog grooming techniques and coat care
This training has given me a deeper understanding of different breeds, their individual needs, behaviour and general well-being.
