I love any cat, and any cat loves me

I am a Dutch person living in Amsterdam since 7 years now, close to Pakhuis de Zwijger. I love cats since I am a child, and we used to have a cat when I was growing up. Ever since my student time, I'd love to have a cat myself, but all the time there is some reason that I cannot do it (allergic roommates, too small apartment, ...). I do enjoy the company of cats though, and every now and then I take an evening scroll over Java Eiland and try to pet all the cats I see which agree with that. Even cats that apparently do not like attention from strangers (according to their owners) usually let me pet them. If you want to know more about me, I am not very active on social media, but you can check out my Couchsurfing profile on /people/erwinrossen.

I don't do this for the money, but I also don't want my service to be taken for granted, or underprice any other sitter. I therefore do charge regular fees. Instead, I will donate the money I would make to charity. My default charity would be the Animal welfare fund of Doneer Effectief, but we could agree together on another charity.

I can feed cats and dogs, clean litter boxes, and give them attention. If the owners agree, I sometimes stay for a longer time in the house to do my remote work from there, so the pets have somebody around them as well. If need be, I can take care of the house, e.g. watering plants or forwarding mail. I am flexible in my availability, though mostly in the evenings.

Note: Even though on the map it looks like I am close to Amsterdam Noord, it is actually quite cumbersome for me to reach it, so that is outside my catchment area.
