I am Miranda, a 49 year old dutch woman with a love for anything with 4 paws (or two wings!), especially dogs and cats. I worked as a veterinary nurse for five years, three years at a cattery and two years as a full time pet-sitter. From working in all these different areas in animal well-being, I've gained knowledge in both medical and practical animal care but also in animal psychology, which is where my greatest interest lies.
I have always been passionate about animals and their well-being. I have enjoyed working at the veterinarian clinics in the Netherlands but I feel that now I have more life experience, it will be a joy for me to use my knowledge of animals and my natural way of being with them in a more personal setting! Although I am very comfortable handling any kind of pet, I have been told that I have a particularly good feel for cats.
I am very aware of the different parts of myself I have to tap into when I am looking after a dog, a cat or another animal. Where cats usually just need a very calm and gentle touch, I find that it is of vital importance that you give a dog good leadership and clear rules, before you give them cuddles. But obviously, they all have their own personality too and I will always adjust my approach to fit the animal I am caring for.
My services include walks in the park, playtime, grooming, giving medication if needed and of course lots of love :) Unfortunately I can't look after large dogs unless they are very old and/or easy to handle.
If you are looking for a responsible, sensitive and sensible pet sitter or dog walker I'd be happy and honoured to look after you beloved 4 legged friend :)

First class service. Miranda is amazing. I have never left my boy Coco with anyone but family before (he is 4) and this was my first time to leave him with anyone else. As you can imagine I was quite anxious, but Miranda had such a calming effect on Coco. I'd go as far to say that I think he loves her, he was so clam and comfortable in her presence. They had plenty of long, activity filled walks, cuddles on the sofa and play time. Miranda sent videos and photos during his stay. Forever thankful to you Miranda for looking after Coco so well. Thank you.
Highly recommended 👌
Could not be happier with Miranda, a very friendly sitter in a very comfortable setting. Excellent communication lots of photos and reassurance. I will definitely recommend and use again. Miranda is an angel 🙂
