Over: Hey there! I'm Natalia 👋 Being an international student, I am looking for ways to connect with my passions and earn an additional income. I believe that Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, birds… all animals! have the right to live a happy and fulfilling life. Because days get busy, I can provide the best care to your loved one with walks, house visits, or overnight stays. A typical day/visit with me looks like this: 1️⃣ At the agreed time, I will meet your pet and will make sure to let you know their overall mood and physical state. 2️⃣Then, we will cover the basics as booked: good food and water, plenty of playtime and walks (of course, according to your pet's preferences). 3️⃣To finish, with a picture I will let you know when the visit is done. I have cared for dogs and cats periodically for members of my family and friends. I am well-informed about the basics of pet health, and being an animal lover, I am always looking for ways to learn more ☺️🐾 I speak English, Spanish, Italian and understand bits of Dutch. Regardless of the language in which we speak, I will carefully follow your preferences regarding your pet's care, provide you with updates and timely communication. Looking forward for the chance of meeting you and your loved one, Natalia Currently I am starting my orientation year, for which I have a full-schedule availability. Apart from doing volunteering work at a primary school, I am looking for other ways to be outdoors. Independently of the service booked (either visits at your home or walks with your pet), the safety and wellness of your pet is my main priority. I will always inform you about anything that is not going as usual. At your home, I will follow all of your safety instructions both for your pet and the house itself. When going on walks, I will follow only previously agreed routes, and will always go for the preferred spots by your pet.

Over: For dogs, I offer calm and enjoyable walks adapted to their age, energy, and personality. Whether your dog needs a short 30-minute outing or a long walk of over an hour, I adjust to their rhythm: from slow, sniffy strolls to active walks or even light runs for energetic dogs. I focus on creating a balanced experience: exercise, stimulation, and calm connection. I’m attentive to body language, always ensuring safety, comfort, and a relaxed pace. For cats, I can stop by to provide fresh food, water, and clean their litter box but I also love offering quiet company. Many cats simply enjoy having someone nearby, so I’m happy to stay for a while, reading or working calmly next to them, giving gentle attention or play when they ask for it. I have a cat myself, named Zozo, so I understand how each cat has their own rhythm, quirks, and ways of showing affection. My goal is always to make them feel relaxed, safe, and content while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been part of my life. I organize my schedule around visits and walks throughout the day, which gives me the flexibility to offer care when pets need it most, whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or evening company. Spending time with animals brings balance and calm to my week. When I care for pets in their own home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and trust. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, from feeding times and walk routines to any special needs or habits, because I know every animal has its own rhythm and comfort zone. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure their environment stays calm and familiar. I’m very respectful of the space and follow all house rules meticulously. To keep owners reassured, I always send updates and photos after each visit or walk. I know how much peace of mind it brings to see that your furry friend is happy and relaxed. For me, our pets are true family members, and I care for each one with the same attention and affection I give to my own cat, Zozo.

“Jana was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She spent quality time with them and made them feel so at ease, and she was very kind and great at communicating with us (including lots of pictures!). Highly recommended by us and our cats 😸”

Over: I always loved animals since i’m a small child, i grew up in nature with cats and dogs, i also started horse riding when i was 10! My job allows me to be free every morning from 9:30am until 2pm on weekdays and the whole day on weekends. I can be very flexible :) It’s important for me to discuss about the needs of the pet with the owners beforehand, since every animal is particular and is gonna react differently to the same situation.

Over: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years now. I just moved from Aruba where I had dogs at home, friends and family relied on me to take care of their pets when they are away on vacation, and I volunteered at the shelter. I’m really compassionate and attentive towards dogs and cats. I make sure to understand them well and take care of them to ensure they stay safe and sound. I have a job but I like to have a fun hobby for the weekends especially one that involves furry friends. Soon I will start school and i’ll hopefully have more time to spend with dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats as long as I understand their boundaries. I follow routines well and can easily help your pet continue their routine. I like spending time with animals so this will be nice because it will all be calm for your pet

Over: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since my childhood. Growing up, my family, friends, and neighbors always had pets, so I naturally learned how to care for animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with playful puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I always approach every pet with love, consistency, and respect for their unique routines. My goal is to make each animal feel safe, happy, and comfortable—just like they would be at home with their family. Finally, I am literally obsessed with dogs and that's why I'd love to spend quality time with your furry friends beside my full-time job. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since my childhood.

I always care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I make sure to always follow their usual routines to help them feel calm and secure. During walks, I use safe routes, keep pets on-leash, and stay alert to their behavior and surroundings. At home, I ensure fresh water, clean spaces, and gentle companionship. I take time to build trust, offering comfort and consistency so each pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and responsible hands.

Over: I have been around cats and dogs since I was born and have over 20 years of active experience assisting with their care, medical needs, and development. I personally have had 7 cats throughout my life - all rescues or strays we found. I also spent many childhood and early adult weekends helping my grandparents care for their various hunting dogs (Labradors and English Springer Spaniels), 10 indoor rescue cats and 10+ outdoor rescue cats along with the random stray cat who eventually just stayed. Whether you need at-home training, cleaning, extensive exercise routines, unique grooming, strict medication schedules, or specialty food, I have done it all! I want to emphasize that the outdoors - grass, trees, birdsong, wind, sun - is SO important for dogs, so walks will be at quick pace to stretch their legs if necessary, with play time included via fetch or frisbee and at least 45-60 minutes. If close enough, I will aim to take them to the local forests (Scheveningse Bosjes or Haagse Bos), the dunes, or a nearby park. I am especially experienced with medical issues, as my own cat who is FIV+ and has been through bladder stones, life-threatening anemia, FVR and FHV-1, and himself is a rescue that needed rehabilitation. I have also assisted with my family cats who have had cancer (in remission), kidney issues requiring weekly at-home IVs, allergy medication, daily teeth cleaning, and many other special requirements. I am also familiar with the medical centers around Den Haag and have access to a car if there was any reason your pet may need to go to the veterinarian or emergency center. I have four years of volunteer experience at my local shelter, where I cared for newborn kittens and abused dogs (mostly bully breeds) who were going through rehabilitation. I also worked for one year at a local pet supplies store as a student where I learned extensively about pet care products (food, toys, home items, puppy needs, leashes, etc.) here in the Netherlands. Finally, as a nanny during university for 4 years, I often took care of the family pets, including house and barn cats, rabbits, and dogs large and small (Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, Boxers, Pomeranians, and Jack Russels to name a few). For the month of November, I will be finished my current work contract where I work mostly from home. Therefore, morning, late afternoon, and evening care aligns perfectly with my current commitments. Starting in December 2025, I will be searching full-time for a new position, providing me the ability to stay or care for your pet at any time of the day! I am very aware that all animals are different in personality, preferences, and needs. I also know that all owners have these same differences, so I will make sure to ask about rules and expectations for your animal before I take care of them. For my own cat, he has strict rules about where he can jump, go in the house, scratch (NOT on the furniture) as well as feeding times, amounts, and types of food. Thus, I am happy to adopt to any strict routines you may have. I am also familiar with dog crating and training, so if additional discipline is necessary to incorporate while I am caring for your dog, I am happy to do so. Considering I am a lover of walking, I am happy to run or walk your dog around Den Haag so they are thoroughly exhausted and quiet when you get home 😊

Over: I’ve had a German Shepherd since I was 5 years old. I grew up with her and took care of her, including going on long walks, taking her to different trainings, and simply feeding her and loving her. I am experienced with taking care and showing love to different types of dogs. I am currently a third-year law student. I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets, going on walks and playing with them. I am available for boarding on the weekends and throughout the week. I live in a lovely family neighbourhood, which offers great variety of parks and playgrounds for pets. I would love to take your pet out on a play date and show them love and fun times.

Over: Hi, I’m a passionate dog lover and proud dog owner for the past 4 years. I love being outdoors and going for long walks. I also volunteer at a local dog shelter once a week. I love learning new things about dogs, Caring for dogs is truly what makes me happiest. <3 I work as a freelancer, so my weeks look different every week. I have a lot of free time and I’m pretty flexible with my hours. I have a dog at home so I won’t be able to have any other dogs at my house. But im happy to come by to your house.

Over: Hello! I’m Jordana, a half-Brit half Italian, currently living in The Hague. I have been lucky enough to be in the company of a dog since I was 14 when we brought our first rescue home, Toby. Since then I’ve had two more beautiful dogs in my life, Jajà and Luna. They’ve brought incredible joy to my life, and taught me so much. For the last 3 years I have also been dog-sitting in London, getting lots of experience with a range of breeds, from Staffies, poodles, malinois, dachshunds. I’d like to continue my work here in the Netherlands, so please do get in touch if you need someone to look after your fluffy pals. I am a Masters students so I can work from home. I have flexible hours that allow me to regularly walk the dogs during the day. I can easily plan my day according to when they need to go out. At home with my dogs, the dogs are allowed on sofas/beds, however, I totally understand that each pet has their rules and habits (they have their own bed, crate, etc)

“Koen took such good care of our kitty Mio. Despite the messes Mio left in the beginnog of his stay. Koen send over pictures every day and was very helpful with our requests.”

Over: With years of experience caring for a wide range of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, rats, lizards, snakes, tortoises, birds, and hedgehogs—I provide expert, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. As a former zookeeper and science teacher, I understand animal behavior and ensure your pets are safe, healthy, and happy, whether it’s routine care or special attention. As a recent master’s graduate and new resident to The Hague, I have plenty of time to pamper and love your pets as needed! Animals take lots of time and energy to properly care for and love. Luckily I have both! I have experience in care and feeding of a variety of animals. From dry and wet food for cats and dogs to live insect feeding to reptiles, I am confident in giving your friend the perfect diet for their health. For dogs, I am an active person who loves taking long walks and am confident in maintaining control even with difficult pups.

Over: I have been caring for my own cats for 3 years, giving them love, attention, and proper care every day. I treat every cat like my own! I’m a student and usually free after school. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them I’m available evenings most of the time sunday I M available mornings and evenings I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow all instructions from the owner, keep their space clean, and give plenty of attention and care

Over: I’ve always had pets at home and now that I’m studying abroad I miss the love that only an animal can give you. Moreover, I have profesional experience with animals due to the past 4 years, which I have been volunteering in a dog shelter. I am currently studying at university. Therefore I’m not available from 9am to 6pm during weekdays. However, I am available in weekends and before and after my university timetable. I am totally open to pet sitting at my clients home and guarantee that I will bring love and attention to their pets. I will also love to enjoy long walks with their pets.

Over: Hi! I’m Kim, a super patient pet lover with experience caring for pets of all ages. I’ve looked after animals for both friends and families I didn’t know before, whether they needed a regular sitter or someone reliable while they were away on vacation. I’ve also raised and trained my own dogs, including my current one, so I’m very familiar with teaching puppies to use training pads and helping them build good habits from the start. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or a little gentle training, I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💗 In terms of availability, I’m usually free in the afternoons, and I can adjust my schedule depending on the arrangement. I’m also available on weekends whenever needed. When it comes to safety, I’m extremely attentive. I always double check that all doors are fully closed and secure, especially with pets who tend to sneak out. If there are gates, fences, or porch areas, I make sure they’re properly locked or closed. With cats, I carefully check any protective nets or screens to ensure there’s no way for them to slip out. Every time I enter or leave the home, I make sure everything is safe and exactly as it should be.
