Katzensitter Merksem

“Lotte heeft 1 week op onze senior kat gelet. Hij was direct op zijn gemak en wij daardoor ook.”

Über: My family started with just 1 dog, I loved playing with her, taking her for walks around the beach and even go on the sea for a quick freshen up during the hot summers. I got lucky to spend 17 years with her. Along the way, we also adopted a energetic kitty who at first, was super sweet, now she's not so fond of love and likes to take her naps far from us unless we can offer her the coolness of the fan or the heat of our blankets. That same year, another cat chose us as family (the one in the picture) and decided he would steal my heart forever. A few years later, a bird appeared on our house and we took care while we waited for someone to call for her which they never did, so we also have her. And two years ago, we rescued a kitty that had been abandoned in the street hence: family of 5 (even if one is resting in heaven now) My biggest memory as a teenager is taking care of my dogs and my cats (the bird is my sister's) and I'm used to having patience to learn the energy they have, what they like and to know their boundaries. Besides my own pets, I have since taken care several times of my friend's dogs while she was on a trip, staying at her house and keeping them company. I recently did the same thing for a friend in Antwerp, visiting her kitty so that she could get clean water, food and several hours of playtime. Besides all of that, my friend's pets always love me even when they usually run away from people. As of now, I'm currently still looking for a job to be able to stay in Antwerp but I thought this would be a good idea to get a little bit of income here and there. I am free every day at any time and I would adapt to whatever the family needs. At my house for the time being will not be possible as I share apartment. As to the owner's house, I would also adapt to whatever they need or would like from me. For instance, at the beginning of the month my friend went away for a week and asked me to take care of her cat. What I did was go twice a day for several hours, once in the morning to give her the daily food and once at night so she wouldn't feel so alone. During those hours I would check her litter, give her fresh water and always keep the curtains closed so she wouldn't have too much sun in the house and be warm. Of course, playing time was a must and we would play until she would take off to take another big nap.

Über: Ik heb zelf ervaring met honden door mijn eigen hond Lizzy. Ik ben gewend aan wandelen, verzorgen, spelen, knuffelen en goed letten op hun behoeften Ik heb voldoende tijd om huisdieren de aandacht en verzorging te geven die ze nodig hebben. Ik plan mijn dag flexibel en maak graag tijd voor wandelen, spelen, voeren, knuffelen en verzorging. 🐾❤️ Ik zorg ervoor dat elk huisdier zich veilig, rustig en comfortabel voelt. Bij mij thuis zorg ik voor een fijne en huiselijke omgeving met voldoende aandacht, verzorging en toezicht. Bij het baasje thuis respecteer ik de gewoontes en afspraken van het huisdier en volg ik de instructies van het baasje nauwkeurig. 🐾

Über: Ik heb zelf 2 honden gehad met zen groot rugzakje, het was even een klus maar ik en mijn mama hebben ze zo goed mogelijk welkom laten voelen waardoor ze erg goed zijn gegroeid met hun problemen in het verleden. Ik ben altijd vrij op woensdag,vrijdag,zaterdag en zondag. Als ik moet werken dan ben ik die dagen vrij tot 15:30u maar ik ben dus het meeste van de tijd vrij daarom dat ik dit wou doen voor een beetje extra geld maar zeker ook omdat ik het leuk vind. Wij verzorgen onze katjes vol liefde natuurlijk wat ik ook zal doen bij uw huisdiertjes ik zal ook goed luisteren als een diertje bv wat extra tijd nodig heeft om te wennen dus ik zal onze band niet forsere want ik weet dat ze een rugzakje kunnen hebben.

Über: Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I grew up in a home with three furry personalities: an 8-year-old German Shepherd, a 13-year-old senior cat and an 8-year-old cat. I’ve been taking care of them throughout their lives, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention and little routines that make pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior animals. My 13-year-old cat needs some extra attention and care, which has taught me to be particularly observant and patient with older pets. My German Shepherd also has some skin issues, so I know how important it is to follow the right care routine and pay attention to any changes in their behaviour or wellbeing. While living in the Netherlands, I regularly looked after the dogs and cats of colleagues and friends in my own home. I genuinely enjoy having animals around and always make sure they receive not only the practical care they need, but also plenty of attention, affection, playtime and company. For me, pet sitting is not simply about feeding an animal and taking it for a walk. It’s about making them feel safe, loved and comfortable while their humans are away. Every pet has its own personality and needs, and I’m happy to adapt to their routine — whether that means a long walk, a quiet afternoon, extra cuddles or simply giving them some space. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first, always 🐶🐱🤍 I live in Kalmthout, in a quiet area surrounded by plenty of green spaces, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. I also have a large terrace where pets can enjoy some fresh air and relax safely. I can work from home when needed, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time with your pet and avoid leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to adapt my routine to their normal schedule, including walks, meals, playtime, rest and plenty of attention. I want every pet staying with me to feel as comfortable as possible — almost like they never left home. Before taking care of a pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, habits and any specific needs they may have. I’m particularly attentive to changes in behaviour and wellbeing, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions regarding food, medication or other care routines when needed. My goal is simple: a safe and relaxed environment, lots of care and attention, and a happy pet waiting for their owner to come home. 🐾

Über: Ik heb meer dan 4 jaar ervaring met het verzorgen van honden van alle leeftijden. Overdag laat ik honden graag uit, kom ik thuis langs voor gezelschap of eten en kan ik ze indien nodig naar de dierenarts brengen. Met veel geduld en liefde zorg ik dat jouw hond zich veilig en gelukkig voelt. Ik ben momenteel student bij de examencommissie en ben van maandag tot en met vrijdag beschikbaar om op honden te passen. Mijn uren kunnen in overleg afgestemd worden, zodat het goed past bij jullie planning. Ik zorg voor veiligheid door me aan de huisregels te houden, alert te zijn op de omgeving en de hond, en ervoor te zorgen dat alles netjes en rustig verloopt. Zo blijft de hond veilig en voelt het baasje zich gerustgesteld.
