“Peppina was a fabulous cat sitter, extremely attentive, played with the kitties alot and ensured they were well and happy. She is a cat person and she will look after your kitties perfectly. I have no hesitation in recommending her!”

Über: Ich hatte 13 Jahre lang selber einen Hund, der dann leider vor 2 Jahren verstorben ist und habe mir nun Anfang 2026 einen neuen 8 Jahre alten Mischling aus dem Tierheim geholt. Ich habe mich auch schon um andere Hunde von Freunden oder meiner Familie gekümmert. Ich habe Erfahrung mit Welpen, kleinen und großen Hunden. Ich habe keine Angst, egal welche Größe oder Rasse. Momentan bin ich noch in meiner Ausbildung und bin daher unter der Woche nur am Nachmittag verfügbar und am Wochenende ganztägig. Ich habe natürlich aber auch Ferien und Urlaub und in dieser Zeit bin ich nach Absprache sehr flexibel. Ich habe eine eigene kleine Wohnung, leider ohne Garten aber bin auch gerne dazu bereit woanders hin zu fahren. Meine Mutter wohnt ein paar Straßen weiter und hat ein Haus mit einem Garten und dort bin ich im Sommer auch gerne mal. Außerdem habe ich ein Pferd und fahre dort regelmäßig hin. Also wenn der Hund damit kein Problem hat, kann ich ihn auch dort mit hinnehmen.

“Eddington was great, and my dogs seemed to really enjoy their stay with him. His communication was consistent, and I truly appreciated all the cute videos and photo updates I received. However, there were some major miscommunications around feeding and the consistent potty monitoring my puppy needs. Additionally, when I returned home, all of the water bowls were completely dry, and both of my dogs were begging for water, which was concerning. I would recommend Eddington as a sitter for dogs who have a steady routine and aren’t puppies that require close, structured care.”

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.

“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: *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.

“Alice was great, definitely recommend her! Alice watched our two dogs for ~2 weeks and they clearly loved spending time with her. She was responsive and shared pictures every day throughout the day. She left our flat very clean and tidy. She even fixed a dog collar, which was quite worn out.”

Sarah V.

“Eros was absolutely amazing with our cats! He kept us updated every single day with detailed feedback, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We're pretty sure the cats fell in love with him—and they didn't seem too happy when we came back! 😂 He also took wonderful care of our home. Everything was spotless, clean, and exactly as we had left it. We couldn't have asked for a better petsitter. We will definitely be booking Eros again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

Über: Hello! I’m a passionate animal lover who recently moved to Berlin. While I am new to pet sitting professionally in Germany, I am definitely not new to dogs! I grew up surrounded by pets and am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs back home in India. Because I miss my own furry family members so much, I would love nothing more than to open my heart and time to care for yours. My Experience & Offerings: 1. Lifetime of Dog Ownership: Having raised dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, I understand their body language, routines, and varied temperaments. 2. Trusted by Friends: Back home, I was always the go-to person to watch, feed, and spoil my friends' pets whenever they traveled. 3. Adaptable Care: Whether your dog is a high-energy walker or a quiet couch potato who loves a good belly rub, I tailor my care to their specific personality and needs. 4. Patience & Attention: I prioritize safety, clear routines, and making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you are away. 5. Regular Updates: I know how tough it is to be away from your pet, so I always send plenty of photo and video updates to keep your mind at ease. As a university student, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to prioritize your dog's routine and give them the dedicated time they need. Daytime Flexibility: I can easily accommodate mid-day check-ins, long afternoon walks, or extended house-sitting sessions while you are at work or traveling. Services Offered: Because of my current apartment's contract regulations, I do not offer boarding at my place. Instead, I focus entirely on caring for your dog in the comfort of their own familiar environment through house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. My lifelong experience helps me provide calm, reliable, and expert care. Building Trust: Having raised dogs all my life, I know how to read their body language and let them bond with me at their own comfortable pace. Handling Tough Tasks: I am fully confident managing trickier routines, including precise medication schedules, crate transitions, and handling stubborn pullers on walks. Respect & Updates: I strictly follow your household rules, keep your space clean, and send regular photo updates so you always have peace of mind.

“Lovely and caring dog sitting for Muna! Muna had a limping leg and Muna being in heat, Ana was very supportive and optimistic. I look forward to the next dog sitting with her.”

“Auch beim zweiten Mal war ich super zufrieden. Alice hat viel Zeit mit Heidi verbracht, gespielt, geschmust, sie auf dem Balkon gelassen ... Ihre Fotos und Videos waren echt toll und die Organisation sowie Kommunikation mit ihr sehr zuverlässig. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie beim nächsten Urlaub wieder auf Heidi aufpassen kann.”

Über: Me and my sister have grown up with dogs since we were little. Now that we live in Berlin we are hoping to find some furry friends to cuddle, play with and have a good time. We both work remotely and are responsible when it comes to taking care of your dog(s). We are currently both working full-time remotely. So dog walks can be arranged rather flexible. We‘d be happy to host your doggo for a (long) weekend as well! We live in Schöneberg close to the Schöneberger Rathaus and it‘s park. We live in a big apartment with a balcony but on the 5th floor without an elevator. So dogs should be small enough to be carried or be used to walking stairs.

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: Hi! 😊 Ich bin Tim. Hunde gehören schon seit Jahren zu meinem Leben und sind meine absolute Leidenschaft. Bei meiner Familie lebt seit mittlerweile sechs Jahren unsere Hündin Roxy, und vor vier Monaten ist der kleine Welpe Charlie bei uns eingezogen. Ich kenne also sowohl die wunderschöne (und trubelige!) Welpenzeit als auch das Zusammenleben mit erwachsenen Hunden in- und auswendig. Zusammen mit meiner Freundin wohne ich in einer Wohnung mit direktem Zugang zu einem Hof – perfekt für kurze Schnupperrunden und Bewegung an der frischen Luft. Durch meinen Job als Makler bin ich flexibel einsetzbar und kann somit Kuscheleinheiten, Gassirunden, Futterzeiten oder feste Rituale einhalten und dafür sorgen dass es eurem Hund an Nix fehlt. Ich nehme mir ganz viel Zeit für eure Tiere. Mir ist es wichtig dass die Tiere in keinen Stress versetzt werden und sich genauso wohlfühlen und sicher sein können wie im gewohnten Umfeld

Über: I have a deep passion for animals and have spent over 2 years caring for cats. Neighbors and friends always trust me with their beloved dogs and cats because I treat them like my own family. Whether it's going for long energetic walks, adhering to strict feeding schedules, or providing endless belly rubs and emotional support, I am dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I’m currently studying German and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while in my care. I’m a responsible and caring animal lover living in Berlin. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Über: I've always been surrounded by dogs and cats, and they’ve brought me so much joy. My first pets were a dog named Dick and a cat named Shurka. Shurka was a stray, gifted to me on my birthday - the best present I’ve ever received. Later, I often took care of my mum's dog, Blackie. We even took classes with a dog trainer, which was a lot of fun. Then, there was Pupuskin, my favorite being ever. He passed away two years ago ❤️‍🩹 I’ve got a lot of love to give to animals. That's why I’ve already had the joy of cat-sitting in Berlin, and the cats warmed up to me so quickly - it was a self-esteem boost 😁 A couple of times, two little dogs from my neighbors wandered into my apartment when the door was open, and they didn't want to leave. Their owners had to come fetch them! I guess my place has a good aura 😌 I hope your pets will feel the same way and love it too 🫶 These days I work remotely from home. So luckily my schedule allows to give your pets all the attention and care they might need 😌 1. I have mashes on my windows for protection. 2. I have a lot of free space at my place for them to fool around 🐶🐱

“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: Hey there! 🌞 
I’m Giuliana a Brazilian animal lover in Berlin. I’m 38 y.o. And since pretty young I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages, including mixed-breeds, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Shiba Inus, and cats, from playful puppies to senior pets. I offer:
🌳🦴 Fun walks and active adventures: tailored to your pet’s needs. Perfect for busy days and dogs with extra energy to burn off!
🧸 Home visits: feeding, walks, and quality time. I play with your pets, offer food, and give toilet breaks/clean the litter box!
🌜Overnight stays at your home: I stay to care for your pet while you’re away, making them feel safe and comfortable. Your pets will get all the attention they need without leaving home!
🏡 Care at my home: daytime fun and morning/evening stays. Drop your pet off in the morning and pick them up happy in the evening!
 Animals have always been a big part of my life, and growing up surrounded by pets taught me how to understand their needs, behaviors, and routines. I love spending time outdoors with them, running in parks, swimming in pools or rivers, going to the beach, taking dogs for bike rides in the basket, and fun walks. These activities are not only fun but also help keep pets happy, active, and healthy. 
I’m patient, caring, and attentive. I always make sure pets feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. I enjoy learning each pet’s unique personality, and I adapt my approach to suit their temperament, energy level, and preferences. Whether your furry friend loves cuddles, long walks, swimming, or just quiet company, I ensure they receive all the love and attention they deserve. My goal is to give both pets and their tutors peace of mind, knowing their companions are happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’d be very happy to take care of your furry friend! 💕☺️ Ich habe unter der Woche eine vollständige Verfügbarkeit und kann mich flexibel an die Bedürfnisse deines Haustieres anpassen. Ich biete Spaziergänge, Spielzeiten und liebevolle Betreuung an. Auch Übernachtungsbetreuungen sind möglich, einschließlich am Wochenende. Durch meine flexible Routine kann ich deinem Haustier viel Aufmerksamkeit und eine individuelle Betreuung bieten, damit es sich rundum wohlfühlt. Ich lege großen Wert auf Sicherheit, Vertrauen und eine ruhige Umgebung für jedes Tier. Ich wohne in einer 84 Quadratmeter großen, gepflegten und komfortablen Wohnung, die ideal für die sichere Betreuung von Haustieren ist — sie hat keinen Balkon. In der Nähe meiner Wohnung gibt es zwei Parks, in die ich deinen Hund zum Spazierengehen, Spielen und für ausreichend Bewegung mitnehmen kann. Wenn dein Hund lieber Ruhe braucht, kann ich ihn selbstverständlich getrennt unterbringen oder bei Bedarf eine Hundebox zur Verfügung stellen. Auch wenn ich das Tier im Zuhause des Besitzers betreue, halte ich mich genau an die gewohnten Routinen, damit sich dein Haustier sicher und entspannt fühlt.

“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!”
