Hondenopvang in Amsterdam

“Ana took great care of our chihuahua and sent us cute picture and video updates throughout his stay. Binky looked very happy when we came to collect him, so he too appeared to enjoy his day! We would recommend Ana!”

Over: I treat every pet like family, with personalized care tailored to their needs whether that’s energetic playtime for puppies or gentle attention for senior pets. I have experience with basic training, administering medication, and recognizing behavioral cues. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and at home even when you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and checkins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddle time, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe and loved throughout the day. Your pet’s well being is my top priority. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and relaxed. I follow your care instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and stay in close contact with updates and photos. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands.

Over: Hi there! 🐾 I’m 27 years old and absolutely love dogs — big ones, small ones, silly ones, shy ones — all are welcome! I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. After spending the last two wonderful years living in Haarlem, & walking dogs in Haarlem I’ve recently made the move to De Pijp and I’m so excited to start meeting some lovely pups (and their humans!) here in Amsterdam. Whether it’s a playful walk through the park, a calm stroll through the neighborhood, or just some quality tail-wagging time, I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. 🐶💕 Let’s get those paws moving! I have a corporate job where I have the opportunity to work both in the office and from home! I work remote as well as in the office so can cater dog walking into my life very easily! I’m happy to walk early mornings, lunch times and after work always make sure to follow your instructions carefully — whether that’s refilling water or food after the walk, bringing your pup’s favorite toy, or sticking to their usual routine. I know how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and safe, so I make sure to respect their habits, like stopping at crosswalks, playing fetch in the park, or any special rules they’re used to at home. I also have a fenced small garden in my ground floor apartment which is very secure.

Over: I grew up surrounded by dogs - and plenty of other small animals, too. Today, many of my family and friends still have dogs that my partner and I happily care for from time to time. We’d love to be dog (and cat) parents ourselves, but our love for traveling edges out our love for dogs - just enough to keep us from having pets of our own. When we’re not traveling, we both work from home with flexible hours - plenty of time to care for your little ones. We can easily adapt to most schedules. We live in an apartment right next to Vondelpark, in the heart of Amsterdam. As active people, we’re happy to take your dog for walks - whether they need a quick stroll or lots of outdoor time. That said, our home is a typical Amsterdam apartment with an infamously steep staircase. For that reason, we prefer small to medium-sized dogs - basically, any pup we could carry up and down the stairs if needed.

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid met honden en paarden, dus dieren maken al mijn hele leven deel uit van mijn dagelijks leven. Nu mijn ouders in Italië wonen met hun geadopteerde hondje uit Spanje en twee katjes die ik vanaf hun geboorte heb meegemaakt, mis ik het gezelschap van een dierenvriendje om me heen. Daarom lijkt het me ontzettend fijn om via Rover op te passen. Of het nu gaat om een fijne wandeling, een speels moment of gewoon wat liefdevolle aandacht – ik ben er met plezier. Je huisdier is bij mij in vertrouwde en zorgzame handen. Ik werk momenteel veel vanuit huis als freelancer, waardoor ik flexibel ben en doordeweeks én in het weekend beschikbaar ben voor wandelingen of opvang. Samen kijken we wat het beste werkt. Ik heb zelf geen huisdieren thuis, dus jouw hond of kat krijgt alle aandacht. Hoewel ik alleen een balkon heb, ligt er een fijn parkje direct voor mijn deur – perfect voor wandelingen en frisse lucht. Binnen is er voldoende ruimte om een bench te plaatsen als dat gewenst is. Een rustige, veilige plek voor jouw dierenvriend!

“Ana took care of my Lappish girls while we spent a day exploring Amsterdam. She was super kind, friendly, available and flexible. With the very sweet and loving. They looked happy and relaxed with her. Ana lives in a walking distance from many museums and other places of interested so also in that for us it was perfect. Can fully recommend her to dog sit your doggy friends! Thank you again Ana, maybe see you again on another trip to Amsterdam 😊❤️🙏🏼”

Over: Mijn liefde voor dieren is er al zo lang ik me kan herinneren. Ik ben opgegroeid met de goedzak Lester, een zwarte labrador en later kwam daar een vrolijke adoptiehond, Puca, uit Spanje bij. Zelf heb ik nu geen hond, maar ik vind het heerlijk om voor die van een ander te zorgen. Zelfs op mijn werk weten collega’s inmiddels: moet er een hond ergens heen, dan bel je mij. In mijn HR-profiel heb ik dat stiekem ook een beetje als ‘specialisatie’ benoemd. Ik verzorg dieren met veel liefde, geduld en aandacht. Elk beestje is uniek en ik pas me daar met plezier en liefde op aan. De gezelligheid die dieren met zich meebrengen, is voor mij echt goud waard. Met mijn ex-partner had ik een vakantiehuisje in Denia, Spanje. Elke keer als ik daar was, maakte ik een ritje naar het plaatselijke asiel om een hond uit te laten en wat extra liefde te geven, dat werd al snel een vast ritueeltje. Thuis heb ik geen hond, maar wel een ontzettend lieve Noorse Boskat van 10, Marley. Door privéomstandigheden woont ze nu tijdelijk bij mijn moeder, maar ik zoek haar nog vaak op. Ze komt me altijd vrolijk begroeten als ik binnenkom, zit op commando en apporteert haarelastiekjes. Ze geeft me een beetje het gevoel dat ik tóch een hondje heb, op haar eigen unieke manier. Op social media zie ik vaak filmpjes van mensen die dieren (in nood) tegenkomen en redden. Hoe triest sommige verhalen ook zijn, diep vanbinnen hoop ik stiekem dat ik ooit zelf in zo’n situatie kom, zodat ik kan helpen. Mocht ik ooit de loterij winnen (of het gewoon zelf bij elkaar weet te sparen), dan wil ik op een (stads)boerderij wonen en daar dieren opvangen die een veilige plek nodig hebben. Op maandag en woensdag ben ik de hele dag beschikbaar om huisdieren te verzorgen, zowel bij mij thuis als bij het baasje. Ook in het weekend maak ik hier graag tijd voor, met veel aandacht voor veiligheid en vertrouwen. Ik zorg altijd met veel aandacht en geduld voor huisdieren, of dat nu bij mij thuis is of bij het baasje. Een vertrouwde en veilige omgeving staat voorop: ik neem de tijd om het dier rustig te laten wennen en houd goed rekening met hun gewoontes, voeding en beweging. Ook volg ik nauwkeurig de instructies van het baasje op, zodat het dier zich zo comfortabel mogelijk voelt.

Over: Opgegroeid met een hond in het gezin en grote dierenvriend! Ik kan goed overweg met dieren en ik ben iemand op wie je kan rekenen. Ik ben elke donderdag vrij en beschikbaar om de hond uit te laten of om op te passen. Ook in het weekend zou dit mogelijk zijn! Ik woon in de Pijp in Amsterdam, om de hoek van het Sarphatipark en dicht bij andere parken. Ik woon in een rustige, hondvriendelijke buurt.

“Ontzettend blij met Ricardo als oppas voor mijn Malamute Koda. Vriendelijk, serieus, geeft de honden genoeg beweging. Aanrader!”

“My dog had an amazing day. The sitter was very sweet and attentive to all his needs. Communication went perfect! I received many updates throughout the day and she responded to my texts within minutes! I’m sure my dog wants to return to this sitter very soon :)”

Over: I've been studying in the Netherlands for two years now, and during this time, I've had the joy of petsitting over 30 dogs and cats. I'm originally from China, where I had a Papillon named Sanbao and an American Shorthair tabby named Bawan, who's now seven years old. After moving to the Netherlands, I missed them so much that I decided to start petsitting—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Over the past two years, I've welcomed all kinds of dogs into my home, and through housesitting, I’ve also stayed at many lovely homes across Amsterdam. Each pet I've cared for holds a special place in my heart: from the giant poodle Floppy, to the sweet Shih Tzu Coco, the spirited Shiba Inu Ukemochi, and the mixed-breed duo Teto & Jaap... Every experience has been unique and meaningful. I'm patient, responsible, and familiar with commands in several languages. I love cuddles, I'm warm and enthusiastic, and I always spend quality time playing with the pets I look after. I don't think I'm helping them, they also help me with having a good time during my study here, and grow into a more responsible adult! I'm a student in college with only a few classes each week, and my schedule is quite flexible. If a dog needs walking, I usually come home right after a two-hour lecture. This means I have plenty of time to spend playing and bonding with pets. With summer coming up, I’ll have even more free time! I’m flexible on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m always happy to discuss and adjust to what works best for you. I live alone in a spacious 35m² studio. While I don't have a backyard, my neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful, right next to the canal—a lovely area where many people walk their dogs. I always encourage a meet & greet before a booking, so we can make sure everything feels right for both you and your pet!

“Vanessa a été parfaite , ponctuelle, communicative, sympathique , mais surtout, elle a dû être exceptionnelle avec Pépito, vu comme il a pleuré et même hurlé quand elle est repartie les 2 soirs , et le deuxième matin quand Pépito l’a revu, il lui a fait la fête , ce qu’ il ne fait que rarement . Pepito l’ adore , donc évidemment, je ne peux que la recommander vivement.”

“Enthusiastic, caring and friendly doglover. Marta is easygoing and has a big heart for any dog. She keeps in contact with the owner during the stay from the dog. She thinks about a solution when something goes wrong and does it all with an open-minded spirit. Loved to meet her and she did everything she could to make it a pleasant stay for my dog. If you're looking for a nice and friendly caretaker for your dog, just contact Marta!”

Over: Cats and small dogs make me happy and I miss my pets. I grew up playing and taking care of cats. That is why I have decided to join Rover as a pet sitter. I can feed, change water, play with your pet(s), comb their hair, change their toilet/walk with them around and throw their litter away. During a visit, I will take pictures of your pet and send to you. I can visit your pet on a regular basis and my schedule is flexible. Hope to see your pet soon :) My name is Elvina and I live next to the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. I grew up playing and taking care of cats. I work as a website developer and designer. I live in an apartment nearby Oosterpark where your pet can walk and enjoy the weather. In my apartment I live with my boyfriend, no pets, no kids, no balcony and we don’t smoke.

“Barbara took great care of Luna for us! I warmly recommend her as a dog sitter.”

Over: I have grown up with two wonderful cats, Lavie and Nevado. I left them back in my home country and miss them very much. That is why I'd love to care for your furry family as if they were my own.
 I’m responsible, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I often pet sit (both cats and dogs) for friends and family, and now I’m excited to extend that care to others in the neighbourhood. I welcome only vaccinated pets into my home, and I am also happy to make visits to yours. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just some quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel relaxed and loved while you’re away.
I can administer medication to pets, whether mixed in food or given directly in the mouth, ears, eyes, or via injection. I’m comfortable doing injections after we’ve done it together once, so I can see how your pet responds.
I also offer bathing and brushing services. If hosting, your pet will never be left alone for more than 3 hours. I currently work from home and can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. If that changes and I’m not able to commit, I’ll be transparent and decline the booking. For dog walks, I take a maximum of two dogs per walk, but only after meeting them individually and assessing how they behave around other dogs.
Each walk lasts 30 minutes (tho I always tend to do more if we are enjoying and I have the time), though I’m happy to adjust for shorter or longer walks depending on your pet’s needs. When it comes to boarding, I only host one dog at a time in my home to ensure personalized care. They will not be left alone for more than 3 hrs.

“Afonso is great! He is very patient with my little one and adapts to my dog needs. He is super communicative and shares pictures with the progress of the day 🐶🐾. He is also very flexible and realiable!”

“Maddy is a wonderful sitter - super responsive and attentive to our dog's needs, we look forward to our next appointment! Thank you Maddy!”

“Thanks for looking after my dog Burt Lea! Clear and easy in communication before ans during the stay, sending pictures and updates. Burt had a good time!!”

Over: Hi! I'm a 29-year-old girl, live in Amsterdam center & absolutely loves dogs. I've been around dogs almost my whole life, and they're like family to me. That's why I'm all about being a pet sitter – it's not just a job, it's a passion. Growing up with dogs taught me the ropes of taking care of them, and now I want to extend that care to your furry buddies. I get it – pets are more than just pets; they're family. Whether your dog needs a good run, playtime, or just some company, I'm here for it. As your pet sitter, I'm all about making sure your four-legged friend is happy and comfortable. I know the drill when it comes to looking after dogs, and I'm committed to keeping things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. So, if you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and will treat your dog like their own, I'm your person. Let's make sure your furry friend feels right at home when you're not around! I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for pawfriends. I'm flexible in my schedule, fixed available days mostly on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I live in the center of Amsterdam but in a quiet & pet friendly neighborhood. There is a park nearby as well, so your puppy and pawfriend can play with others
