Anja D.

Loving pet sitter and sustainability advocate ready to care for your pets

Ciao! I’m Anja, a 37-year-old Italian expat who has been living in Belgium for many years. When I’m not working on making cities greener and more sustainable, I’m happiest surrounded by animals, especially my adorable rescue cats who fill my home with love and mischief.

About me

I’ve loved animals all my life, growing up with cats, dogs, horses and small pets. Today, I volunteer at a local cat shelter, caring for senior cats and giving them comfort, medication and cuddles in their golden days. While my apartment means I can’t adopt every animal I meet (tempting as it is!), I put my heart into caring for those I can, whether they’re mine or yours.

I also love to travel and have done so extensively. This has taught me how to stay calm and resourceful in unfamiliar places and how to quickly find solutions if unexpected situations arise.

What I offer

🐾 pet sitting: whether it’s a snuggly cat, an energetic dog or a small furry friend, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away
🌱 plant care: I’m also a plant lover, so your green friends will stay healthy and thriving too

I often work remotely, so I can spend plenty of time with your pets and keep their routines consistent. Occasionally, I might travel with my partner if that’s okay with you. We are both calm, caring and love animals.

Why choose me

✔ lifelong experience with different animals
✔ fluent in English, Italian and French (and I dabble in Spanish and German)
