Über: I've grown up surrounded by animals and have owned a wide variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even rats, which taught me how to care for animals with very different needs and personalities. I have a deep respect and genuine love for all animals, and I've also looked after friends' pets on multiple occasions, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. For me, every animal deserves attentive, loving care. As a freelancer, I split my days between a few hours of work and studying, which gives me a genuinely flexible schedule. I can easily adapt to each pet's routine and the owner's needs, whether it's a morning walk, a midday visit, or an overnight stay at their home. I provide services at the pet's own home, which means they stay in their familiar, comfortable environment, no stress from new surroundings. I treat every home with full respect and care, ensuring the pet follows their usual routine, feels safe, and gets plenty of attention throughout my visit or stay.

“Cecily was great, serviced early as it was her first time looking after Frank. Kept him very happy with a trip to the beach. Would definitely book again”

Über: Ich bin mit Katzen und Hunden aufgewachsen und hatte schon immer Tiere an meiner Seite. Regelmäßig kümmere ich mich auch um die Haustiere von Familienmitgliedern, zum Beispiel während des Urlaubs oder wenn Unterstützung benötigt wird. Ich habe Erfahrung mit Katzen mit besonderen medizinischen Bedürfnissen, darunter Diabetes und Niereninsuffizienz, und kann Medikamente oral sowie per Injektion verabreichen. Als Katzenmama weiß ich, wie wichtig Vertrauen, Zuverlässigkeit und ein ruhiger Umgang sind. Ich betreue jedes Tier verantwortungsvoll, geduldig und aufmerksam. Anfahrten in meiner näheren Umgebung sind im Preis enthalten. Bei weiter entfernten Betreuungen kann je nach Entfernung ein kleiner Fahrtzuschlag anfallen, den ich vor der Buchung immer transparent abstimme. Ich arbeite in Gleitzeit, 2 Tage die Woche von zuhause und 3 Tage im Büro. Ich kann mir meinen Tag selbst einteilen und habe genug Zeit, Betreuung einzuplanen. Ich reinige Katzenplätze, Napf und Toilette täglich. Neben dem Füttern gehört auch Streichel- und Spieleinheiten, je nach Bedürfnis der Katze dazu.

“We had a great experience with Alexandra as our cat sitter. She was super friendly and communicative throughout the whole weekend, sending us daily photo updates which we really appreciated—it made being away much easier. From the start, she was very organized and attentive. She even set up a video call before the trip and came well-prepared to our pre-trip meeting, which gave us a lot of confidence. Most importantly, our cats clearly had a wonderful time with her. They looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in all the photos and videos she shared. She also took excellent care of our home and left everything in great condition when we returned. We’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Über: Hi, we’re Duncan and Feline, a pair of experienced and responsible dog lovers with a passion for animals. We've been around animals our entire lives, and we are both comfortable caring for a range of breeds and sizes of dogs. With us, you get 2 sitters for the price of 1, meaning your dog will enjoy almost 24/7 care and attention. Feline and I both grew up around animals, including horses, cats, dogs, and selected rodents. Feline’s family tends to own big hunting dogs like Rhodesian Ridgebacks, while I come from a family of whippet-owners. We currently regularly care for Lilu the Pomeranian when her owners go away; however, we’d still like to have more furry friends in our lives. We have a lot of love to share, as well as the time and space to care for your pet as you want it cared for. Whether your dog needs long walks, active play, reassuring cuddles, or just loving attention, we're comfortable around animals and enjoy time in their company. Our relaxed approach and calm environment mean that animals tend to be very comfortable around us, too. We have experience caring for everything from a small and characterful breeds to large breeds that don't realise how big they really are. If you have any special requests or your dog has any special needs, please let us know, and we can make accommodations. Our schedule works around you! I work from home and Feline is usually about, so we're available all week for 24/7 pet care. Our routine is flexible to meet your needs for boarding, daycare, or walking. We have lots of shared experience living with and caring for dogs and other animals. We understand how to create an environment that is safe, relaxing, and enriching for your animal. We keep our apartment dog-friendly by keeping anything chewable out of reach, making sure there are no harmful plants or chemicals to interact with, and keeping the mood mellow and welcoming. It's usually just the two of us at home, so there's no risk of your dog being overstimulated or feeling unsafe with us. Our apartment is a short distance from a few dog-friendly parks, and offers plenty of opportunities for low-traffic street walks.

Über: Ich bin mit Hunden, Meerschweinchen und Hamstern aufgewachsen und hatte viele Jahre engen Kontakt zu Tieren. In einer WG habe ich mit Hund und Katze zusammengelebt und hatte selbst einen eigenen Hund, der leider krank war und eingeschläfert werden musste – diese Erfahrung hat meinen achtsamen und verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren noch einmal vertieft. Ich arbeite strukturiert und zuverlässig und kann Betreuung flexibel in meinen Tages- bzw. Wochenablauf integrieren. Durch meine Tätigkeit im Homeoffice bin ich zeitlich gut planbar und kann Fütterungszeiten sowie Besuche zuverlässig einhalten. Je nach Absprache sind ein- oder mehrmalige tägliche Besuche möglich. Bei Bedarf übernehme ich auch längere Betreuungen (Haus- & Katzensitting). Besonders wichtig ist mir eine klare Absprache im Vorfeld, damit Ihr Tier seine gewohnte Routine beibehält.

Über: *English & Deutsch* Guten Tag :) hatte in meinem Leben meist einen Hund an der Seite und sehr oft auch noch einen zur Betreuung. Meine Hündin freut sich immer und ich auch. Training, Erziehung, Ernährung, Gesundheit, Spiel, Streicheleinheiten ... kann schon behaupten, ich habe viel Erfahrung mit großen, kleinen, jungen und alten Hunden. Kann mir die Zeit selbst einteilen. Standard ist morgens eine lange Runde über ca. 50min und Abends nochmal 30-40min. Falls ein Gasthund nochmal raus muss, ist das möglich. An schönen Tagen bin ich oft Stunden im Park oder an einem Badesee. Meine Altbauwohnung befindet sich im 3. Stock. Euer Hund sollte daher Treppen steigen können, oder sich hoch tragen lassen (bis15kg). Mein Kiez ist sehr hundefreundlich. Friedrichshainern Park, Blankensteinpark und das sehr schöne Gebiet am Velodrom sind in Fußreichweite. Vor dem Haus direkt ist eine Grünanlage, wo Hundehalter sitzen und den Tieren beim spielen zusehen. Euer Hund wird bei mir aufmerksam betreut und muss nie länger als eine Stunde alleine sein und dann ist ja meine Hündin auch noch da. Welpen sollten schon stubenrein sein, das Training kann ich nicht anbieten. Mein Hund läuft frei, ein Gasthund bleibt an der Leine. Ich mache keine nicht abgesprochene Experimente.

“Shir is the best pet and housesitter we have ever had! The care taken with our beloved dog and cat is unparalleled. Communication is top notch and Shir is completely trusted to handle any aspect of pet care. Our dog gets very sad when we leave town, and Shir just has such patience and love for her. No notes! Shir is perfection!”

Über: I am basically a dog. Haha. No, I’m not a dog, I’m a human, but I think we could all do with being a little more dog-like. For a while now, my neighbour has been asking me dog and walk their beautiful female chocolate Labrador, Romy. This includes trusting me with their house key, and to take Romy to lakes quite far outside Berlin. I love this level of trust, and being given the privilege of spending time with Romy. I’m now looking to expand this into something larger :) Your pets are my world. I usually get up at around 8am, and then run household errands, exercise, clean etc. I do go out, but of course my day will revolve around the needs of your pet, depending in which capacity I am fulfilling With love and dedication! I live alone. The place is always clean, and I live in a really calm neighbourhood with lots of families. There are many other pet owners in my area and so any walk inevitably leads to good social interaction opportunities - let me know if your pet prefers not to interact with certain kinds of people / animals, and I can tailor my walk route to be more solitary if this is required.

“Hallo Cloe, auch auf diesem Weg nochmal ein riesen großes Danke schön an Dich. Wir haben uns nie Sorgen gemacht, weil Du von Anfang an mit unserer Maggie eine super Beziehung hattest. Auf den Bildern die uns immer geschickt hast, konnten wir immer live sehen wie es ihr mit Dir gefallen hat. Nochmal ganz lieben Dank und wenn wir wieder mal in Berlin sind und deine Hilfe brauchen, dann buchen wir dich auf jeden Fall :-) viele Grüße Maggie, Corina und Kai”

Über: I have cared for pets my entire life, so I understand their needs, routines, hygiene, and overall well-being. I have experience administering medication, taking pets for daily walks, and providing them with affection and attention. I adapt to each animal to ensure they feel safe, supported, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my days with time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and general supervision. Since I’m used to caring for animals, it’s easy for me to organize my activities around their needs. I make sure to provide consistent attention, maintain a clean environment, and keep a stable routine so the pets feel comfortable and safe I take care of pets with a high level of responsibility, always ensuring they are in a safe, clean, and calm environment.

I have a flexible schedule during the week, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins.

Über: I stand out for offering very personalized and calm care. I don’t treat pets as “just another animal,” but instead adapt to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and at home. I have experience with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, as well as small animals like guinea pigs, which makes me very careful, patient, and attentive to details. I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and respond calmly. I really enjoy walks, playtime, and quality bonding, but I also respect rest times, especially for puppies or senior pets. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel at ease. For me, this isn’t just a job—I truly love animals and care for them as if they were part of my own family. My daily routine is organized to provide consistent, high-quality care for pets. In the mornings, I take them for walks and play, followed by feeding, cleaning, and rest time. During the day, I check on their needs and keep owners updated with photos and messages. In the afternoons and evenings, I take them for another walk or play session depending on each pet’s energy, ensuring they rest comfortably and feel safe at all times. My weekly schedule adjusts according to bookings and owner needs, always prioritizing the well-being of each pet. Whether at my home or the owner’s, I make sure pets are always safe, comfortable, and happy. During visits, I provide feeding, play, and companionship according to their routines. On walks, I keep them safely leashed and monitor their behavior, adjusting activity to their energy and size. For daycare or overnight stays, I create clean, calm spaces for rest, supervise playtime, and keep owners updated with photos and messages. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and comfort.

Über: Greetings 👋🏻 For about three years in San Francisco during college I have worked as a dog walker where I was entrusted to enter homes and take care/walk dogs big and small. From this experience I’ve come to understand that communication, security, and safety of the pets is of upmost importance. Quick to respond and send daily updates to owners. Comfortable with all tasks from providing medications to specifics that pertain to each animal and their lifestyle. Since the experience in San Francisco; patience, awareness, and learning the traits and quirks in every animal has been important in predicting behaviors and creating connections. My partner Max and I are also traveling house sitters with a 5 star rating and 16 house sits under our belt. We love to travel! We were able to explore every corner of the cities we’ve visited on walks, chill on comfortable couches with cats, and admire the way owner set up habitats for animals such as birds and fish, comfortable tending to any sort of animal and plant if requested! Max is from Berlin and between the both of us we speak Ukrainian, Polish, English and German Services I would love to offer range from boarding at my place or yours based on your preferences, stopping by to check in or stick around for the day, going for walks as I usually take walks to Victoria park or Tempelhof! With my schedule I work remote and also project based so I am able to leave my work anytime to attend to tasks, as I have open availability your buddy will be loved on at all times. Located in Mitte so we have many green spaces and lovely walks in our area. When it comes to walks and feeding I understand the importance of routine and try my best to follow the same schedule set in the pets home so they feel more comfortable. Similar when it comes to play time or training, if specifics are mentioned I usually try to upkeep during the boarding. As I have had experience with both WAG and THS I understand that details are important and every animal is different. From the start it is important that communication and the expectations for sitter are established. I like to make sure to be prepared and read all the details the owner states in the profile before confirming.

“Good experience overall. Maria Jose was reliable, easy to communicate with and took good care of our dog Nanuq. We appreciated the updates and would be happy to book again”
