After several years of petsitting, completing succesfully 70plus petsits, my relation with Willem as mentioned in the reviews, is over. So from now I will undertake travels and petsits by myself.
I'm in my sixties, still energetic, have a strong love for animals, enthusiastic to meet people and discover new places. Divorced with adult kids, early retired and therefore flexible in dates.
Petsitting is a great way to be useful again and enjoy the company of friendly animals, meet nice people and travel in a much more relaxed way than in hotels.
I am a native Dutch speaker, but also manage well in English, German and French. I have my own transportation, a small car or perhaps could also travel by motorbike. I will take good care of your home and garden and of course dear pets the way you like it to happen. All the 70plus petsits received 5 star ratings. Experienced with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and horses from my family life in the past and learned even more while petsitting. Skills for other animals could be learned.
Strict non-smoker, no alcohol, no partylife. Not a very demanding person, WIFI though is necessary, a parking space for the car and a TV-set for the evenings would be very much appreciated.
I am member of other petsitting websites too, can supply more reviews on request.
Hopefully this introduction gives you an idea and I would gladly answer your questions.
Kind regards, Marja

Willem and Marja deserve all the praise they are getting on the website ! They were indeed the perfect sitters : incredibly attentive to the animals and the house's needs and immensly friendly. We spent some great time together before and after our travel, and left the house completely relaxed. We had regular communication, and could see that they took care to create a real bond with our furry and feathery ones ; ) Ostrale was obviously sad to see them go. She had her daily walks and share of cuddles. Simone had all the love she required, and our slighlty crazy, antisocial (but very kind) cat was very relaxed when we got back (which is a feat !), thanks to Marja who talked to her daily from a distance with treats and pheromones ; ) The chickens and the house were extremely well looked after as well ! They are always welcome back !

C’est en toute sérénité que nous sérénité que nous sommes partis en vacances, certains que nos animaux (chat et chevaux) seront bien gardés! Marja et Willem, habitués du home sitting, s’adaptent très vite et inutile de leur donner le mode de fonctionnement de chaque appareil … ils se débrouillent ! Pirouette notre chatte très anxieuse a tout de suite été à son aise! Encore merci Marja pour l’entretien du potager et les récoltes des fraises et pois mangetout. Nous penserons bien à vous cet hiver en les sortant du congélateur. Très agréable de retrouver notre maison fleurie! Au plaisir de vous accueillir si vous souhaitez revenir chez nous!

Nos chats étaient ravis de la cohabitation avec Marja et Wihlem !! Couple très sympathique et très fiable pour un home et cat sitting réussi. Nous espérons les revoir souvent chez nous

Marja et Willem sont de "vieux" amis ! Nous les connaissons bien maintenant et sommes très heureux quand ils reviennent à la maison, Neige les aime aussi beaucoup et fait la tête quand ils partent. Mais ce sont aussi d'excellents home-sitters ... avec une longue expérience, beaucoup de tact et de savoir-faire. Marja est aussi très attentive aux plantes, Willem un super bricoleur, et tous les deux portent une grande attention au monde qui les entoure. Nous aimons bien les savoir chez nous, et les retrouver après un petit voyage...
