“Basil heeft het enorm leuk gehad; hij kon de hele dag lekker spelen en rondlopen. Elly en Theo hebben hem zo goed verzorgd dat hij het haast jammer leek te vinden om weg te gaan!”

Over: Hi! My name is Charmaine😊
I grew up mostly in Kenya, where my family has a large garden and we’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. Since I was around 10, I’ve helped care for different kinds of dogs (german shepherd, golden retriever, labrador, maltese, doberman, border collie, and mixed breeds) and have experience with feeding, walking, grooming, basic training, raising puppies, and overall just giving them lots of attention and care. I also frequently dog sit my friends' dogs. 
 When caring for a new dog, I make sure to first let them sniff the environment, making sure to ease them into the new situation and not overwhelm them. If they need space, I give it to them. I also have some treats that I use, if the owner is comfortable with that. I know every dog is different, and every owner has their own routine and preferences for things like feeding, how often the dog should go out, etc. so I always make sure to respect that so the dog feels comfortable and cared for. In case of emergencies, I always make sure I have vet and emergency numbers on hand, keeping in mind preferences of the owner. 
 I work from home almost everyday (usually except Tuesdays), and I have a very flexible work schedule, so I’m able to do doggy daycare and boarding, and take regular breaks to take dogs outside and play with them. I do not leave dogs at home alone. In cases where I need to step outside, my partner, who also loves dogs and helps out when needed and if the owner is comfortable with it, I could take the dog with me. 
I live in Rotterdam (Delfshaven area), in an apartment. I have a park opposite my building and also have figured out a lot of different walking routes to take dogs on. I don’t have a dog of my own in the Netherlands yet, which is part of why I joined this platform😊 
Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work full-time, but from home. I go to the office only once a week, mainly on Tuesdays but this is flexible and I can go whichever day works for my schedule. This schedule allows me to be home to do pet care. My work schedule is also flexible throughout the day because the organisation I work for is very laid back, so I am able to regularly take dogs out for walks/to go potty throughout the day. My partner goes to work most days but has an irregular schedule so if I need to step out e.g., to do groceries, he would be home to take over the pet care for that time. I live in a fairly spacious apartment and have a park across the road where I would take the dogs in my care for walks. There are also multiple other green walking routes in my neighbourhood. I‘m very respecful of owners routines for their pet and would follow instructions closely.

“Yuki had such a fun time at Lilian and Richard's. She made friends with their dog, Berry, went on long walks and had lots of play time. I was kept up to date throughout the stay, with pictures and videos. When I went to pick her up, they had prepared an online photo album with pictures and videos of her stay. That was such a nice touch! I can only recommend and will certainly repeat :)”

Over: (English below) Hallo, Wilma (59) hier, en ik woon in Krimpen aan den IJssel, vlak bij Rotterdam. Ik ben een zeer ervaren huizenruiler en heb 14 jaar via uitwisselingen op huizen en huisdieren gepast in - en buiten Europa. Ik weet dus hoe het is om dieren bij iemand achter te laten en om voor andere dan eigen dieren te zorgen.  Sinds 2024 heb ik zelf geen dieren meer. Mijn vaste oppas hond (was 15) en vaste oppas poes (was 17) zijn inmiddels overleden. Via een grote Britse website pas ik op momenteel op honden en katten in het buitenland in ruil voor een verblijf zodat ik kan reizen.   Via Rover.com zoek ik honden waarop ik kan passen als ik thuis ben.  Ik maak nog wel steeds graag een uitzondering voor oppassen in bepaalde gebieden in Londen, in het bijzonder rondom Hyde Park, maar ook veel andere parken daar zijn geweldig voor honden: St James's Park, Regent's Park, Battersea Park, Holland Park, Primrose Hill, en Hampstead Heath. Mijn ervaringen hebben me flexibel, vindingrijk en bekwaam gemaakt om met uitdagingen om te gaan die zich tijdens de afwezigheid van de eigenaar kunnen voordoen. Ik hou zoveel contact met eigenaren als ze dat willen zodat ze op de hoogte blijven over het welzijn van hun dier(en) terwijl ze weg zijn. Af en toe pas ik bij mensen thuis op mits zij op redelijke afstand wonen en goed te bereiken zijn met openbaar vervoer. We zullen daarvoor moeten spreken over de reiskosten aangezien die per keer zullen verschillen. Als ik bij u thuis oppas respecteer ik uw huis. Ik ben netjes en ordelijk en zal uw huis altijd in de staat terugbrengen waarin u het heeft achtergelaten. Ik nodig geen gasten uit en bemoei me niet met persoonlijke eigendommen. Wees eerlijk over uw locatie als ik bij u op kom passen. -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- I'm Wilma (59), a very experienced home-exchanger and have looked after homes/pets for 14 years in and outside Europe. I know what it's like to leave your pet(s) with someone and how to take care of someone else's pets. Since 2024 I no longer have pets of my own. The dog and cat I regularly cared for (for 15 yrs and for 17 yrs) have both past away aswell.  At the moment I look after dogs and cats abroad through a major British website in exchange for a stay so I can travel. Via Rover.com I seek dogs I can take care of when I'm at home in The Netherlands but I still make an exeption for certain areas in London, UK, especially around Hyde Park, but also for St James's Park, Regent's Park, Battersea Park, Holland Park, Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath. Great with and for dogs! My experiences have made me flexible, resourceful, and skilled at handling challenges that may arise during the owner's absence. I have as much contact with owners as they wish to so that they stay informed about the well-being of their animal(s) while away. When I dog sit at your place, I respect your home. I am neat and orderly and will always return your home in the condition you left it in. I do not invite guests and don't go through personal belongings.  Please be honest about your location if I come to your house. Ik zorg voor dieren alsof ze van mij zelf zijn. Ik speel met ze, kam ze en knuffel ze. Bij voorkeur neem ik honden overal mee naartoe, ook met het openbaar vervoer. Hij/zijj krijgt alle aandacht, inclusief lange wandelingen. IEDERE DAG! +++++++ I care for animals as if they were my own. I play with them, brush them, and cuddle them. Preferably I take dogs everywhere I go, also with public transport. He/she receives all the attention, including long walks. EVERY DAY! Ik ben betrouwbaar, toon verantwoordelijk en degelijk gedrag en respecteer privacy en wensen van eigenaren. Ik ben gezond (vegetarische leefstijl, rook niet, drink geen alcohol, gebruik geen drugs en loop geen feestjes af). Omheinde tuin en ik woon aan een singel. +++++++ I'm reliable, show responsible and solid behavior, and respect the privacy and wishes of owners. I'm healthy (vegetarian lifestyle, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, don't use drugs and don't party). Fenched garden. At a canal.

Over: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11. Dogs of various breeds and sizes and personalities. Love an active lifestyle so your pets will get the best care and walks during the day as well as a stable feeding schedule and lots of attention and care. I have a flexible schedule so I can work around the best needs for your pets so they get the best care and walks as well as plenty of attention! I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow feeding and medication instructions precisely, monitor behavior for signs of stress or illness, secure doors and hazards, and provide consistent routines, enrichment, and clear communication with owners to ensure safety and trust.

“Carla is een lieve en betrouwbare honden oppas. De liefde voor honden straalt ze aan alle kanten uit. Onze hond was laatst voor de tweede keer bij haar, en hij heeft het weer helemaal naar zijn zin gehad. Wij laten hem met een gerust hart bij Carla achter, wetend dat hij daar in hele goede handen is!”

“From our initial communication, Ely demonstrated a clear dedication to making Lolly’s stay optimal. Despite a necessary reduction in the service duration for medical reasons, she maintained daily communication regarding Lolly's overall well-being and adaptation. This is an exceptional service that I highly recommend.”

“I left my old doggo with Vanessa and l did not regretted. She had an amazing time while l was gone. Vanessa is amazing, friendly, kind, careful and professional and listen to whatever she needs to know about your dog. She is the best pet sitter l ever had. I can definitely recommend her and l think my dog would too if she could talk ♥️”

Over: My name is Carolina, I am 28years old and I am a animal lover. I am very responsible, energetic and I am a fast learner. In the morning I have a lot of free time and I would like to spend that time doing something that I really enjoy and that is how I found about this page. My first experience as a dog sitter was in 2019 when I used to be an Au pair in Sweden, I took care of two amazing dogs, Chloe and Kajsa. After that, I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 and I was living with a family in Berkel Enschot, they have a super cute dog named Toby and I lived with them and the dog for a full year. I was taking care of him the majority of the time as the family used to be working. I also have experience pet sitting cats from two of my best friends. I am currently working full time from home, which gives me some flexibility. Walking is part of my daily routine, therefore is not a new extra task. I live in an apartment with big spaces that can be closed to avoid any problems, and the windows are high...animals cannot reach them. I also have a small balcony

Over: Hoi! Ik ben een echte hondenliefhebber en ben mijn hele leven opgegroeid met honden. Daardoor heb ik ervaring met verschillende rassen, leeftijden en karakters. Daarnaast heb ik regelmatig met veel plezier op de honden van familie, vrienden en kennissen gepast. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen hond, dus alle aandacht is volledig voor jouw trouwe viervoeter. Ik werk grotendeels vanuit huis, waardoor jouw hond veel gezelschap krijgt en zelden alleen hoeft te zijn. Daarnaast woon ik aan de rand van het Kralingse Bos, de ideale plek voor heerlijke wandelingen en lekker buiten zijn. Ik vind het belangrijk dat iedere hond zich veilig, ontspannen en thuis voelt. Daarom neem ik de tijd om jouw hond te leren kennen en houd ik me graag aan zijn of haar vaste routine. Of het nu gaat om een actieve wandeling, een rustige dag of lekker knuffelen op de bank: ik zorg ervoor dat jouw hond alle liefde, aandacht en zorg krijgt, zodat jij met een gerust hart de deur uit kunt. Ik ben erg flexibel. Avonden, weekenden, doordeweeks; ik kan makkelijk schakelen. Ik heb geen kinderen en geen eigen huisdieren. Daarom is het voor mij mogelijk om zo flexibel mogelijk aan jouw/jullie wensen te voldoen. Ik zorg ervoor dat jouw hond zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Omdat ik grotendeels thuis werk, krijgt hij of zij veel persoonlijke aandacht en gezelschap. Ik woon in een appartement zonder tuin, maar direct aan de rand van het Kralingse Bos. Daardoor kan ik meerdere keren per dag heerlijke wandelingen maken. Ik houd me graag aan de vaste routine van jouw hond, zoals uitlaattijden, voeding en eventuele medicatie, zodat alles zo vertrouwd mogelijk blijft.

“Laura and Gabriel took great care of Bernardo while we were on holiday. They were always pronto in responding to communications and sent regular photos/videos. Bernardo seemed very happy and healthy when he returned to us.”

“Miguel and Gaby are super dog sitters. Roef was not the easiest guest, lying in front of the door for hours waiting for me. With patience and love and going out with him he finally relaxed and when I came back to pick him up he hardly looked at me. He was playing with Miguel. I can certainly recommend them.”

Over: Lifelong dog lover offering reliable care! I grew up with pups and have my own friendly dog. I provide walks and visits, follow your schedule, and treat your pet like family. Although I work full-time, I always make sure the dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I work alternating shifts, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. Even when I have an early shift, I'm used to early mornings, so getting up at 4 a.m. isn't a problem for me. Dogs staying with me will enjoy at least four walks a day: one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two more walks before bedtime. I also spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities to explore, exercise, and have fun. I understand that every dog has different needs. If your dog prefers to walk alone or isn't comfortable with other dogs, I'm more than happy to take them on separate walks. I don't use a crate unless that's part of your dog's normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're with me. I can easily take care of your dog's or cats special needs, my own dog is allergic to chicken and is very picky. I have lots of patience and I would care for it as for my own baby.

“From the moment I met Maxime, I knew Chloé and Reign were in good hands. She is incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. She kept me updated every day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Maxime to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Steffany I.

“After our 'meet and greet' session with Oeksandra (Sasha), both me and my King Charles Cavalier Love were confident this would be a great match. Sasha looked after Love beautifully while we were on a week's vacation, taking great care of her, and keeping me updated with photos, videos and reports of the day's activities. I would not hesitate to recommend Sasha as a sitter and hope to be able to use her again in the future.”
