“Shikha took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She spent time playing with them and kept me regularly updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind and allowed me to really enjoy my vacation without worrying. I came home to two happy and well-cared-for cats. 😊 I would definitely recommend Shikha and would be very happy to have her look after my cats again!”

“Another great trip knowing Alexia was watching our kitty at home! ”

“Bianca is fantastic! She took really great care of my two cats, Milo and Loki. She is very communicative and sent daily pictures and comments about their activities. She really took the time to get to know Milo and Loki. When we returned from vacation our boys were very calm and I could tell they were happy to have a visitor. The house was neat and clean and their letterboxes had been scooped. I would absolutely recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter! I hope she is available again when we travel in the future. She’s truly the best.”

“Julia did a great job checking in on our cat! She followed all of our requests for his food mix ins. We loved seeing the picture and video updates (our cat clearly had a lot of fun with her)! Would book her again!”

Over: Hi, my name is Helmuts, I come from Latvia and currently live in Amstelveen. I have loved animals and felt a certain kinship with them ever since I can remember myself. Throughout my life, me and my family have had a dog, cats and ferrets, and I have taken care of/looked after many dogs (various sizes and behavioural types) and cats of my friends and acquaintances. I currently have a full-time job and would be available for any pet-related assignments on Sundays, as well as on evenings of any other day. Whenever the wellbeing of a pet is entrusted to me, it has my undivided care and attention. I always try to find a balance between the recommendations/guidelines left by the owner and what the common sense dictates in any given situations when I am alone with the pet.

Over: I’m a German au pair currently living in Amsterdam, taking care of two children during the week. Outside of those hours, I have a lot of flexibility and would love to spend my time pet-sitting—both to save up for university and because I genuinely love animals. Growing up, my family couldn’t have dogs or cats due to my dad’s allergy to animal dander, but I did have pets such as budgies. This taught me responsibility and daily animal care from a young age and made me appreciate every opportunity I now have to spend time with animals. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I regularly look after my boyfriend’s dog when his family is away, I feed and care for my neighbor’s cat during holidays, and I’ve often gone on walks with dogs belonging to family friends. I’m comfortable with routines, walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets calm, loving attention. I’m responsible, patient, and affectionate, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. During the week, I work as an au pair from 7:00–9:00 AM and 3:00–8:00 PM. This gives me a large free time window late in the morning and early afternoon, ideal for dog walks, feeding cats, or short check-in visits. I’m also available early mornings and in the evenings when needed. On weekends, I’m fully flexible and available for longer stays or extended pet care. I’m a calm, patient, and empathetic person who helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I respect routines, boundaries, and individual needs, and I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously. My goal is to provide a secure, calm, and stress-free environment where your pet feels well cared for while you’re away.

Over: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was 10 years old. Over the past decade, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, gentle seniors, and everything in between. I can also help with crate training, giving medications, and ensuring your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I have lots of flexibility to devote to your pets since I'm not employed and focusing on my Masters. I’m available for boarding during the week or weekends and can provide walks, drop-ins, or playtime on weekdays after anytime. Your pet’s routine is important to me, so I’ll make sure their schedule is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. l have a very secure place. I can easily separate or crate dogs if needed, ensuring a safe environment for every pup. Whether in my home or yours, I keep a close eye on pets, give them plenty of exercise, and maintain a clean, comfortable space so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Over: I 🌱 happiness! Dutchie here :) Nederlander hier! I know what animals communicate energetically and they like that a lot. I leave them, plants & places even happier. I've had a french bulldog for 10 years and grew up with cats as a kid. I've always petsitted throughout the years. In the beginning mostly through friends and family. Now (and for years already) through platforms like these and mostly in Berlin and Amsterdam/Haarlem. And I love animals ánd nature. Experienced plant-, house- and animalsitter over here. I am from the Netherlands, but spending time in both Amsterdam and Berlin, hopping from rentals to animalsits. I love animals and am happy to spend time with them. I am a singer and freelancer, so I spend a great deal of the day at home and it is important for me to have a place with great WiFi. But offcourse during summer I also sometimes leave the house for a couple of hours so that should be okay with you. I am happy to send you pictures and video's during the sit! So you can stay connected in that way as well. Energy is loud to me, so I always say that animals talk! Even if it's without human words. I love cuddling them (if they want to), sing around them or leave them alone (if they want to ;p) I am a calm yet energetic, happy and steady person and I know how to improvise if needed. I do prefer easy animals. Meds I can put in their food if needed. Happy to follow your instructions.

“Heel blij met Alina, keurig voor onze 2 katten gezorgd, ons op de hoogte gehouden van de situatie thuis, volgende vakantie zeker weer boeken!”

Over: My dog is five years old now, and I’ve been taking care of her since she was just two months old. I’d like to think I have a real knack for bonding with dogs. Before getting her, I spent a lot of time studying nutrition and training, so I even cook her meals and have taught her to follow every command perfectly. I’ve become so in tune with dogs that I can read their emotions just by looking at their expressions or tail movements. I’m a huge animal lover. Although I can’t have a cat at home because my mom is afraid of them, I’ve gained plenty of experience volunteering at a cat hospital. What I’m most proud of is how much animals seem to like me—whenever I’m at the park, dogs naturally gravitate toward me to play fetch. I truly cherish every moment I spend with animals. I'm currently studying Media at the University of Amsterdam. My schedule isn't very demanding, so I have plenty of free time each week to spend with pets. Don't worry about my grades—I'm doing exceptionally well. I'm available Monday through Friday, with ample time on Mondays and Tuesdays specifically. I can also offer boarding services, and I assure you I'll take excellent care of your pets. I love photographing animals and have professional-grade equipment, so I can share photos with you whenever you'd like. Spending time with animals is my greatest joy. I live in an apartment with a large lawn downstairs, where I can provide playtime companionship and boarding for pets. I'm available for any special requests, such as taking photos, making videos, or taking pets to larger parks.

“I recommend Shikha wholeheartedly. She is professional and reliable, came in at a pinch during busy holiday season committing to the care of my cats. She provided a complete summary after each visit, plus photos and videos. Her photos looked professional, she made them both look their best. She really cares about animals and it shows.”

Over: Wij zijn Michael en Anastasiya — twee grote dierenliefhebbers met een hart voor zowel honden als katten. Michael is van jongs af aan omringd door dieren en heeft van zijn passie zijn beroep gemaakt. Hij behaalde het officiële diploma “Honden- en Kattenbesluit”, waardoor hij bevoegd is om professioneel met honden en katten te werken. Anastasiya werkte jarenlang als violiste op cruiseschepen en besteedde haar vrije tijd aan vrijwilligerswerk, waarbij ze met veel liefde voor katten zorgde. Samen vormen we het perfecte team: ervaren, zorgzaam en professioneel. We begrijpen dat elk dier uniek is en geven daarom persoonlijke aandacht, afgestemd op hun karakter en behoeften. Heeft uw hond gedragsproblemen, angst, verlegenheid, moeite met andere honden of speciale medische zorg nodig? Geen enkel probleem — wij weten precies hoe we uw trouwe viervoeter of kat op de juiste manier kunnen helpen en begeleiden. Bij ons kunt u erop vertrouwen dat uw dier met alle liefde en deskundigheid wordt verzorgd. 🐾 Wij werken allebei vanuit huis, waardoor we de honden 24/7 toezicht, aandacht en gezelschap kunnen bieden. Er is altijd iemand aanwezig om met ze te spelen, knuffelen of gewoon gezellig samen te zijn. Daarnaast is ons appartement uitgerust met een beveiligingscamera, zodat we de hondjes ook kunnen blijven volgen wanneer we even kort weg zijn. Zo bent u er zeker van dat uw hond altijd in een veilige, liefdevolle en zorgzame omgeving is. 🐶❤️ Wij nemen honden aan van meerdere eigenaren te gelijk,maar veiligheid staat bij ons op nummer één! 🐾 Wij zorgen ervoor dat alle honden zich comfortabel en veilig voelen. Daarom houden we de hondjes, indien nodig, gescheiden en geven we ieder hun eigen ruimte, met voldoende water, voeding en rustmomenten. Wanneer uw hond goed overweg kan met andere honden, laten we ze natuurlijk graag samen spelen — de meeste vinden dat namelijk ontzettend gezellig! Om de veiligheid van alle dieren te waarborgen, nemen wij geen agressieve honden aan. Zo kunnen we iedereen een fijne, rustige en veilige omgeving garanderen. 🐶❤️

Over: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter and a certified canine specialist (dog behaviorist). Caring for dogs isn’t just my job - it’s my profession and my passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. 🐶 24/7 care and companionship – Pet sitting is my full-time job, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. They’ll receive constant attention, plenty of affection, and a calm, home-like environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. 🎓 Professional, behavior-based care – As a certified canine specialist, I understand dog body language, behavior, stress signals, and positive, force-free handling techniques. This helps me provide individualized care that builds trust and keeps dogs feeling secure. 🌳 Walks, enrichment & fun – Every dog receives walks and activities suited to their age, personality, and energy level. We enjoy local parks, visits to a nearby fenced dog field (if appropriate), and enrichment games that provide both physical and mental stimulation. 💊 Health & safety – With my medical background, I’m comfortable administering medication and caring for senior dogs or pets with special requirements. 💬 Personalized care & daily updates – Before every booking, I take the time to learn about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. While you’re away, I’ll send daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, comfortable, and in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel as safe, relaxed, and loved as they do at home, while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I can take care of your pet any day of the week. However, I may be away on weekends, so it's best to book in advance. I have a personal list of questions because it’s important for me to understand your pet’s daily routine to minimize stress. I offer a spacious apartment with no other animals. Our home is smoke-free and quiet. Your pets will always be under supervision and care.

“Amber was amazing! I came home to two very happy cats, who had obviously been taken care of. She was also a saint of patience: our plans shifted several times in the lead up to the trip and she was gracious and accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone”

Over: I'm a young professional that works from home and have some extra free time and LOVE caring for dogs. So this is the perfect opportunity for me and I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs on Rover, after graduating from undergrad I took up dog sitting and I have watched homes and pets while family is out of town since then. I am very flexible and reliable and would have a great time with your pet! Why I love dog sitting: I had a dog who I was extremely close with and since his passing I miss a dog's companionship. Because of school and work I'm not able to take care of a dog full time so in the meantime I would love to keep yours company! I’m currently working from home and on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and give them lots of attention! How I care for pets varies on the individual pup or cat. Every one of them have their own special needs so I will be sure to be informed and have notes on the stay before booking.

Over: Hi lovely dog owners! I am a 35 year old & currently studying online to become a breathwork meditation teacher so I have a lot of free time! I would be very happy to dogsit and offer some dog walks to help anyone I can around me. I love animals and grew up in a house with cats. Many years after leaving the nest and my beloved cats, I finally got my adorable sweet little cat Luna and later on Hope, a border lab mix. They are currently with my parents in France! Every time I see a dog on the street, my heart literally just melts and I want to give them all my love! I have taken care of family's and friends' dogs & petsitted & housesitted many times before through different platforms, I can show you more reviews if you wish! If you feel like you want to make someone truly happy when you are once busy or go on holiday, please do not hesitate to contact me! If time allows we can first meet and see how the connection is between your pet and me and if you think it can work, I would be delighted! I am really looking forward to meeting you! I currently study online to become a breathwork meditation teacher so I have lots of free time for walks & love to go to your pets! I am very mindful of people’s places & I think it’s important for the dog to stay in its usual habitat when owners go on holiday (my dog agrees on that!)

Over: Hi! I'm Teresa, I'm from Spain and I've been living in the Netherlands for 7 years. I've always loved all kind of animals and nature. I'm currently taking a dog training course with the goal of making it my profession someday. I often look after my friends' dogs when they go on vacation. I'd love to take care of your furry friend and have some learning in the process! I usually work in the mornings until 14:30 and I am free on the weekends, which leaves plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I also have a car and am willing to travel for pick up and drop off. I live in a comfortable large apartment with my partner and we have a beautiful off leash area 2 min away. I am happy to adapt the environment to guarantee the comfort and needs that your friend requires.

Over: (🗣️NL, ENG, PL) I have a degree in Animal Science, and attended an internship at a veterinary clinic and zoological garden. I’ve worked at an animal shelter/ senior house, thus my experience with working with dogs and cats can assure you, your beloved once will be in good hands :). Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At my parents house I used to take care of our 7 dogs, which I’ll be happy to talk about more when we meet :) Furthermore I’m a traveller and have an social and outgoing but calm personality. Please, do not hesitate and contact me via direct text message. This way we can plan the visit individually, to your and your pet’s needs. For me pets are part of the family and I approach them each and everyone with the same amount of care, based accordingly on their individual needs.
