About this sitter

I'm a quiet and easy going (young???) lady, who's happily volunteering at my local animal shelter at the moment.
And enjoying all the training they offer on handling (shelter) animals ( a.o. : 'how to read a cats, or dogs body language?' , 'How to handle frightened, or scared dogs?' )
I'm looking for a nice get away; maybe at your house?
If it's for a couple of days: within a days car-ride of Amsterdam would be preferable. (My lovely neighbour doesn't mind looking after my own cat then)
If I can bring my own (rescue) cat: for a couple of weeks or so would be even better ! :)
(And don't mind traveling further then ofcourse)
I'm not bound by any specific dates or such, just give me a shout whenever :D

Why they want to house sit

I'd love to get away for a few days ( or so), somewhere not to busy and/ or touristy. I'd much rather stay somewhere ' homely' let's say, and prefer to avoid hotels and tourist places and such. Maybe we can help each other?

Their experience

I've 'house sat for my nephews farm quite a few times (for amongst others: Scottish highlanders, goats, donkey, chickens, cat, and rabbits)
At the moment I volunteer at the local animal shelter, a.o. at the maintenance department.
(If there something broken, or needs a paint job, or something like that). Previously I've also volunteered at a horse riding school for mentally, and or physically handicapped people. To walk besides the horse and rider during their lesson.
(And quite a few other volunteer jobs trough the years aswell ofcourse)

What can they bring to the assignment

I'm relaxed, responsible, and a big animal lover ofcourse.
I'm not a big party person, and prefer the quiet and solitude, over a busy party scene. (So please don't worry with me about any party's or anything of the sort)
I would just love to get away for a bit, and to take care of your house , and/ or pets with care and attention

Testimonials

Fantastisch !

Wij hadden geen betere huisoppasser kunnen hebben. Kirsten is ZO goed voor onze paarden en voor onze hondjes geweest. Zo was zo lief om ons nu en dan een fototje te sturen met een update hoe het met hun gesteld was. 100 % heeft ze haar verantwoordelijkheid op genomen. Daarnaast heeft ze ook ontzettend veel respect gehad voor ons pand en alles erg netjes achtergelaten. Om zo gerustgesteld op vakantie te kunnen gaan was voor ons de MAX ! Wij kunnen Kirsten haast niet missen , zo'n leuk en lief persoon!
