Cat Sitter Harmonie

About: Hi! If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet, I’d love to help 😊 I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I grew up around animals, especially cats, so I have plenty of experience. I update my calendar regularly, so please check it for my current availability. I’m very flexible and almost always free on weekends and sometimes available on holidays! I have no problem adjusting to your pet’s routine and needs. I always make sure they feel comfortable with me. For longer house sits, I also send regular pictures and updates so you know they’re doing well.

About: Hi! I’m Gözde, a physiotherapist and an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over two years of regular professional pet-care experience. For most of the past two years, I worked through the DogGO platform in Turkey, where I completed more than 1,800 dog walks with an average rating of 4.9/5, as well as multiple pet-sitting bookings with a 5/5 average rating. Alongside the platform, I also built my own group of regular clients through recommendations and people I met along the way. Some of these pets became part of my weekly routine for a long time, which is one of the things I value most about this work. My connection with animals started long before I began doing this professionally. Since childhood, I have cared for many stray dogs and cats whenever I could — feeding them, helping with their basic care and making sure they were safe. Caring for animals in need has always been an important part of my life. I also share my own life with a Labrador Retriever and two cats, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. For me, pet sitting is built on mutual trust between the owner, the sitter and the animal. When I look after a pet, I care for them with the same attention, patience and responsibility that I would give to my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting. Depending on your pet’s normal routine, this can include walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, basic pet-related cleaning and carefully following any specific care instructions you provide. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including large and active dogs, as well as cats with very different personalities. My professional background as a physiotherapist has also taught me to be observant, patient, responsible and attentive to small changes in behaviour and movement. I always take each animal’s individual needs, comfort and routine seriously. I’m currently studying in Antwerp. For the next two months, most of my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8:30 AM and 12:45 PM. Outside of those hours, I can arrange my availability quite flexibly for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. As my university schedule changes, I will keep my availability updated accordingly. After two years of regular walks and pet sitting, I’ve learned that the nicest part of this work is when you stop feeling like “the sitter” and become a familiar and trusted person in that pet’s life. Over time, many of my regular clients and their pets have started to feel like one big extended family to me, and that is something I genuinely value. I’m currently studying in Antwerp and have a flexible weekly schedule, which allows me to fit pet care around my classes. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, including for walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays. My availability is always kept up to date on my calendar. I always follow each pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I take time to understand their personality, habits and needs before providing care. During walks, I prioritise safety and stay attentive to the pet and surroundings. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates.

“She was super kind, responded to all my messages, and sent me daily photos and updates. I would definitely trust her again for another occasion”

“Angel is al twee keer komen oppassen en heeft het onwaarschijnlijke verwezenlijkt :D. Ik heb niet de meest sociale kat, maar met tijd en geduld wist Angel haar te overwinnen. Nu ben ik gerust dat als ik op reis ga Muriël toch wat sociale interactie heeft. Angel is correct in haar communicatie en verzorgt de kat goed. Heel tevreden hier :)”

About: 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.

About: Als kind hadden wij zelf altijd een hond, helaas is deze overleden. Sindsdien ga zorg ik voor de hond van mijn buren als zij op vakantie zijn Momenteel werk ik fulltime, ik kan dus het beste ‘s ochtends of ‘s avonds langskomen. Als ik thuiswerk kan ik ook ‘s middags langskomen. In het weekend ben ik flexibel Dieren bij mij thuis opvangen is helaas niet mogelijk. Ik kom graag langs om te spelen met jouw huisdier en de nodige verzorging te geven

About: Ik houd heel veel van dieren. Ik heb zelf 2 katten en heb ook ervaring met honden. Ik heb al eerder opgepast op honden van vrienden. Ik ben momenteel een opleiding aan het volgen voor de ingangsexamens van de politie school. Daardoor heb ik veel vrije tijd, deze tijd zou ik graag met dieren willen spenderen. :) Ik heb al ervaring met het oppassen van honden en het wandelen met de hond. Ik ervaring met katten, ik heb er 2, Azi en Lucky.

About: 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.

About: Ik heb ervaring met zowel katten als honden, zowel met mijn eigen huisdieren als met die van mijn buren. Ik zorg regelmatig voor katten, honden etc en ik vind het belangrijk dat elk dier zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt. Ik ben zorgzaam, geduldig en verantwoordelijk. Ik ben meestal flexibel beschikbaar en kan gemakkelijk mijn planning aanpassen wanneer dat nodig is. Ik vraag wel graag om dit op voorhand te laten weten, zodat ik voldoende tijd kan vrijmaken voor jouw huisdier. De veiligheid en het welzijn van jouw huisdier staan voor mij altijd op de eerste plaats. Ik volg graag de routines en instructies van de eigenaar en let goed op het gedrag en welzijn van het dier. Ik zorg voor een rustige, schone en veilige omgeving en houd je graag op de hoogte met foto’s en updates.
