Kattenoppas in Amsterdam

“I would trust Sophia with taking care of my cat any day! She is punctual, responsive, caring, and most importantly knows how to relate to cats and to understand what they need. She sent me lots of photos every day and immediately answered any question I had. I have a very scaredy cat who does not warm up easily to humans, and she was purring and looking for Sophia’s pets within a day. I highly recommend her!!:)”

Over: Op mijn tiende kreeg ik mijn eerste hond, meteen een hele grote Bordeaux dog genaamd Diesel. Na 2 jaar kwam daar een nog grotere hond Hooch bij. Beide honden heb ik vele jaren met heel veel plezier verzorgd en van gehouden. Toen ik 10 jaar geleden op mijzelf ben gaan wonen in Amsterdam, ben ik begonnen met het fosteren van honden uit asielen in Spanje en Portugal. Angstige honden, honden van de straat, mishandelde honden en honden die nog nooit aan de riem hebben gelopen, jong, oud, ze zijn allemaal bij mij over de vloer geweest. Met ontzettend veel liefde heb ik dit jarenlang gedaan, totdat ik ontzettend verliefd werd op mijn laatste foster; Simba. Ik heb dan ook besloten hem te adopteren en ondertussen zijn we al weer 4 succesvolle jaren verder. Een aantal keer heb ik nog honden uit het asiel opgevangen samen met Simba, maar omdat ik af en toe naar het buitenland toe moet voor werk is opvang vinden voor 2 honden net te lastig. Ik heb ontzettend veel zin om een tweede hond over de vloer te hebben, Simba kan af en toe wel een maatje gebruiken! Ik heb een eigen zaak in het centrum van Amsterdam. Maar als ik van tevoren een oppas aanvraag/planning krijg hoef ik die dagen niet aanwezig te zijn in de winkel, er is dan personeel aanwezig. Wat je kan verwachten; •Opvang met jaren ervaring met verschillende rassen, persoonlijkheden en groottes •Een fijne, rustige en liefdevolle omgeving •Dagelijkse wandelingen, spelletjes, knuffels, en voor de hele slimme honden die niet vermoeid raken van wandelen, doen we denk-spelletjes. •Tweemaal daags een uitgebreide update en door de dag heen foto's en video's. Ik heb een hele vriendelijke podenco van 8 kilo. Hij is rustig en goed getraind en vindt spelen ook leuk. Helaas hebben wij geen tuin maar wel een groot balkon achter en heerlijke zoninval in de woonkamer. De oppashond mag op bed, op de bank, ik heb een huis met weinig details zodat er niks kapot kan gaan en de honden lekker hun gang kunnen gaan. Ik woon op een tweede verdieping dus de voordeur leidt niet meteen naar de straat.

“Emily did an amazing job taking care of our cat. We felt like our cat was in great hands the whole time. Thanks Emily!”

“Francisca is a calm, reliable and lovely person. I was really nervous to leave my puppy alone for the first time, but having Francisca over to watch Dobby for an hour in between so he wouldn't be alone for an extensive amount of time was a lifesaver. Dobby felt visibly at ease with her. Francisca was perfectly on time for the visits, is easy to communicate with, and she even stayed longer than she had to, simply because she enjoyed spending time with Dobby. If I need someone to watch my puppy again, I'll definitely ask her.”

“I trusted Maryna to take care of my two cats for the second time and couldn’t be happier! I was able to rely on her and she kept me updated on her visits to ensure I knew they were ok. Thanks Maryna, I will for sure ask you again for catsitting :)”

“Elena has been fantastic. She truly went above and beyond in providing great care to my home and my cat Moozze during my absence. Elena has been great to communicate with, super reliable, caring and really went the extra mile in making sure Moozze was a happy camper and received all the love and attention he could sesire. I can absolutely recommend her on and will book her again!”

“We appreciated Cassady taking care of our cat Leia while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and took the time to get to know Leia during the meet and greet by giving her treats (which Leia loves). While we were away, Cassady sent us detailed daily updates with pictures. She followed the instructions we left for her to a T and spent enough time playing with our princess so she wouldn’t be lonely. We greatly appreciate Cassady’s help and recommend her for cat sitting!”

“Sophie took good care of my kitties while I was away❤️ Everything was clean and according to what we agreed 10/10❤️she is friendly and nice. I felt comfortable communicating with her☺️”

“An amazing dog sitter! She’s very sweet with Kiwi and takes him on long walks in the park. Highly recommended!”

“We just moved to Amsterdam from the US and wanted to take a spontaneous trip to Paris - but we needed a cat sitter! We found Afonso on Rover and within 10 minutes he responded to our request. He came by that evening to pick up the keys and in the meantime met Rosie! He visited once a day for an hour each and sent us many pictures and messages. He also watched out for her health since she had been sick for a few days before. He knew how to be patient with Rosie as she is an anxious cat and successfully got her to warm up to him after the 2 visits! When we got back Rosie was in a great and playful mood!! We are thrilled to have found Afonso and will be using him many times in the future! 🐈‍⬛🐾”

Over: I’m new to professional pet sitting but have always loved and cared for animals. I’m incredibly attentive, reliable, and will follow your pet’s routine to the letter—from feeding and potty breaks to playtime. I’m happy to learn your pet’s unique needs and give them all the love they deserve while you’re away. As an international student in my thesis-writing phase, I have a flexible and abundant schedule with no fixed classes. I can dedicate most of my day to pet care, and I’m available 7 days a week to tend to your furry friends whenever needed. I only provide in-client-home pet sitting services, so your pets stay in their familiar, comfortable environment. I’ll handle all basic care—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks for dogs, and playtime—and follow your pet’s routine strictly to ensure their safety and happiness.

Over: I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so animals have literally always been part of my life. Since moving to Amsterdam I really miss having them around, which is part of why I love doing this. Friends and family have always come to me when they needed someone to look after their pets and I genuinely enjoy it every time. I’m good with both dogs and cats, whether they’re super energetic or just want some quiet company. I’ve also had rabbits and a canary so I’m not easily thrown off by different animals. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. I’m pretty flexible and available most days, so I can easily work around your pet’s routine rather than the other way around. Whether you need someone for a regular daily walk or a last minute visit, I’m usually able to make it work. I’ll always confirm in advance so you know exactly when I’ll be there. When I visit your home I make sure to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, since I think keeping things familiar is what makes them feel most comfortable and calm. I’ll always double check doors, gates and windows before leaving, and I treat your home with the same respect as my own. You’ll get updates and photos during every visit so you’re never left wondering how they’re doing.

Over: Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile :) My name is Anastasia, and my first word was "a dog." I recently moved from Barcelona to Amsterdam, so my profile on the platform is new, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the Netherlands' four-legged residents! My goal is to provide the same level of care, love, and attention as if you were home and maintain the routine, so that your fur friend feels as comfortable as possible :) Back in 2016, I decided to turn my love for animals into something more constructive that may actually help dogs and their humans, and this is how I became a dog trainer. My approach is based on compassion, positive reinforcement, and understanding animal needs. We don't punish or tell a dog what NOT to do; we show what we want from a dog and how to achieve it (and even receive a tasty treat!). After working at a dog hotel, volunteering at shelters for many years, and then launching my dog-training project (alongside my husband, who is also a dog trainer), I have deep expertise in creating a safe and loving space for your favourite creatures in the world. Please feel free to share any specific needs or requests, and I will make sure to accommodate you and, most importantly, your furry friend in the best possible way :) Thank you for making it this far, Heartfelt regards, Anastasia I have a part-time job as a remote project manager, so I create my own schedule, which gives me a lot of freedom and wiggle room to dedicate to something I'm truly enjoying - taking care of animals. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that trust lightly. Whether I’m visiting your home, staying overnight, or taking your dog out for a walk, my goal is to make your absence feel as gentle and stress-free as possible for your pet. I work within your pet’s familiar environment and routine, which helps them feel secure and at ease. During visits and house-sitting, I take care of all daily needs—feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and companionship —while staying attentive to their mood, energy, and behaviour. Every animal is different, so I adapt my approach with patience and respect. Some pets seek affection and interaction, while others need space and quiet reassurance. I follow their lead and build trust at their pace, always prioritising their comfort. For dog walks, I provide safe, structured, and attentive outings tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level, ensuring both physical exercise and a positive experience. While you’re away, I stay in touch with regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured and connected to your pet:) I also treat your home with the same care and respect as I do your pet, maintaining a clean, calm, and secure environment. You can count on me to care for your pet with genuine attention, kindness, and responsibility!

Over: I have had a Labrador Retriever since the age of 12 and have always been loved by dogs. I am used to walks with big dogs and administering medicine/treatments. I love playing all dogs games and giving cuddles. I am a full time student and part time waitress, so I have a variable schedule. I am usually available during the day and most evenings. I have experience with reactive puppies who chew everything on site and I’m great with zoomies😉. I have taken care of my dog in both a house and an apartment.

“I highly recommend Isabela for pet sitting! She took great care of Barney & it’s clear to see how much she loves dogs. Isabela followed instruction very well and looked after Barney with a lot of love and affection. I really appreciated the pictures she took and the time she spent playing with Barney. I look forward to booking her services again :)”

Over: I have been walking and training my dogs (3 very active Border Collies) for 10 years, I have also provided dog sitting and care for dogs. I am flexible, reliable, and easy to connect with. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to help! I am currently studying for my Master’s at the University of Amsterdam and working part time as a remedial teacher. Even with a busy schedule, I still have plenty of time during the day and evenings to walk your dogs. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m always happy to help on short notice as well I live in an apartment in De Pijp by myself. While it may not be the best space for larger dogs, smaller dogs are very welcome. Thanks to my flexible schedule, I can dedicate plenty of time to caring for them and taking frequent walks. I also live close to a lovely park, which is perfect for daily outings.

Over: I have been providing dedicated care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for the past 4 years. Much of my experience comes from being the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors, who have trusted me with their pets for everything from quick check-ins to overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a high-energy long walk, patient senior care, or just plenty of attention and playtime while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am punctual, reliable, and committed to making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy! I am available most days of the week. I love pets and would love to pet sit any type of pet!!! I run/walk almost every day so walking with your pet is no problem I provide a calm, attentive, and highly supervised environment for every pet I care for. My apartment has a big yard area that is perfect for the pets to play. I also understand that some animals need special care and extra patience, and I can make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-attended to while in my home.

Over: I’ve loved caring for animals since I was a kid growing up in NYC, looking after my neighbors’ cats and dogs, so I am experienced in navigating city life with pets. I’ve had many cats of my own over the years, including fostering and helping anxious cats feel safe and comfortable at home. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I love spending quality time with my “niece and nephew” cats and dogs :) I work remote and freelance, so it's easy for me to plan my schedule around your pet's needs! I can get anywhere in Amsterdam on my bike, so whether it's an overnight stay or a drop in for the day, I'll be there. I am happy to discuss any specific safety and care needs you have for your pet, be it in your home or on walks. I do not currently offer care in my own home.
