Hi! My name is Julia, Dutch by origin, Belgian by residence, and a true animal lover 🐾 Outside my day job, you’ll usually find me hiking, enjoying nature or ideally spending time with animals. I grew up in a home filled with cats, rabbits, dogs and fish, so caring for animals has always felt completely natural to me. Over the past few years, I have been petsitting for friends and acquaintances, gaining experience with pets of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior companions. I am comfortable with special routines, shy pets and administering medication when needed. Dog walking During dog walks I focus on calm, safe and enjoyable walks, tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. Walks typically last 30–60 minutes and always include time for sniffing, play and positive attention. I follow your dog’s usual walking routes and routines as closely as possible. Home visits Home visits usually last around 30 minutes (longer if needed) and include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or cages, playtime, cuddles and a general well-being check. I always take a few minutes to let pets approach me at their own pace, especially if they are shy. House sitting During house sitting, I treat your home and your pet with great care. I keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, provide plenty of companionship, and make sure your home looks lived-in (bringing in mail, watering plants, opening/closing curtains). Doors and windows are always locked, and I send regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind. Because city life currently doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own, petsitting has become my favourite way to stay closely connected to animals while providing reliable, calm and loving care. I offer dog walking, daily home visits and housesitting for both short and longer periods. I can care for cats, dogs, rodents and fish. At the moment, I am not able to host pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for them in their familiar environment. If this sounds like a good fit, I would love to hear more about you and your pet. 😊
