Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Almere

“Dank voor de goede zorgen voor Frouke. Op de foto’s en filmpjes die we tussen door hebben ontvangen is zo goed te zien dat ze het naar haar zin heeft gehad! Een fijne omgeving en wat zijn jullie lief voor voor Frouke. Dank!”

“Semonti was amazing! She took such wonderful care of our beagle, Tobi, and went above and beyond by sending us photos, videos, and daily updates. It made us feel so safe and at ease while being away from him. This was our first time using Rover, and I am so glad we chose her. We would love to have her watch Tobi again in the future. Thank you so much, Semonti!”

“We left Watson with Julia for the first time, and we're a bit anxious on how he will adjust. But Julia made his stay and our entire experience seamless and very comfortable. She took very good care of him, attended to his needs as he was on medication. I would really recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Lieve oppas voor onze hond! We waren in de buurt op vakantie en wilden een dagje Walibi en daarvoor gebruik gemaakt van de oppas door Elvira. Fijn geregeld en fijn contact, een aanrader!”

“Buddy has had a good time again. Normally only stayed there with daycare, now spend several days. Was even possible for a last minute extension for 1 night. Feels good to have a place for him to stay and enjoy himself and be enjoyed”

Over: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs since I was a child and have always loved caring for animals. I currently have my own cats and dog back home in Sri Lanka, so caring for pets has been a natural part of my life. I’m new to professional pet sitting in the Netherlands, but I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available to give your dog or cat the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I’ll provide a calm, clean, and caring environment and carefully follow your instructions about feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and other routines. I’ll be patient and attentive to your pet’s personality and needs, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

Over: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16, including help with street cats’ delivering. I also took care of indoor cats and dogs from friends, family and colleagues. Currently my boyfriend and I have a two-year old Maine Coon and three chinchillas (4+yr) at home. Most of time I work from home so it’s convenient for me to spend time with the little ones. I’m very patient, trustful and friendly with pets. I’m currently working from home except every Wednesday , so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2pm. I also don’t mind early mornings or evening visits if needed. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day, so I’m always happy to fit them into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a bright living room where cats and dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly, well-socialized cat who love making new friends. If your pet prefers their own space, I can absolutely crate them or keep them separated when needed. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and stress-free at all time!

“Eaton had a wonderful time with Huan’s family while we were away on our summer holiday. We received photos and videos every day, which was such a lovely way to stay connected and see how happy and comfortable he was. When we picked Eaton up, it was clear that he truly felt at home and had grown very fond of his temporary family. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, care, and love they showed our pet. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Eaton! We’ll definitely stay in touch and hope to come back to you for future trips. ❤️”

“Zoro seems quite after coming from from her house. He is very high energy puppy. It seems he missed her as he definitely had enough attention he wanted and from video she shared he was happy playing.”

“Onze hond Tipsy heeft een heel fijne kerst gehad bij Emalia en haar gezin, zou haar zeker weer vragen voor ons schatje te zorgen tijdens vakanties of weekendjes weg!”

Eva S.

“Annika heeft super goed voor de poes gezorgd!! Dit was de eerste keer dat ik gebruikmaakte van Cat in a Flat en de eerste keer dat ik zo lang weg was van Siepie (de poes), dus ik vond het wel lastig en spannend, maar ik zou dit én Annika aan iedereen aanbevelen. Twee keer per dag ontving ik een foto en/of filmpje, en dat was echt heel fijn. Zo kon ik met een gerust hart op vakantie en wist ik zeker dat alles goed ging totdat ik weer thuis was. Daarnaast schepte ze ook de kattenbak leeg dus daar werd ook goed voor gezorgd. Siepie en ik zijn erg blij :)”

Sifra V.

“Had to go out of the country for an emergency and luckily Rania was able to quickly step in and take care of my cats. Got daily updates so I knew my cats were happy and safe and when I got back, I got back to a very happy household. Thanks again Rania!”

Paul v.

“Eva's third time cat-sitting for us was excellent as always. Great with the cats. Highly recommend”

Gautier F.

“I cannot be happier to have booked Birkit for our short weekend trip. Communication with Birkit was easy and timely. On departure date Birkit arrived on time and the handover was done swiftly and smoothly. Her cheerful and friendly character quickly showed up, and our furry friend, Fonsi, was in! During the trip Birkit kept us informed with pics and updates. An absolute jewel that will ensure you cat is well taken care of! Will book her services again!”

“Xiaobing is helemaal fantastisch. De houdt echt van katten, dat kun je merken. Onze kat heeft veel liefde van haar ontvangen. Daarnaast deed ze haar taken heel zorgvuldig en professioneel.”

Taco S.

“Marjolein is amazing! She arrived on time every time to keep Singsing company. She sent me videos and photos of my cat cuddling or playing, and paid attention to all details. I felt comfortable and glad to leave my cat with her.”

Over: As a dedicated cat lover, I provide personalized care for your furry friend while you're away. From administering medications to deep-cleaning litter trays, I ensure your cat is comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities and will make sure your pet feels loved and safe until you return.

Over: Hi! I’m Vanessa, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! Cats have always had a special place in my heart. I love their unique personalities and the trust they build when they feel safe and comfortable with someone. Originally from Brazil, I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past six years. I now live in Apeldoorn after spending three years in Amsterdam. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful cats, and I understand that each one has their own way of communicating, their own preferences, and their own pace when it comes to building trust. My priority is to provide personalized care while respecting their boundaries and helping them feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I adapt my approach to what makes each cat most comfortable, whether that means playtime, gentle attention, quiet companionship, or giving them the space they need. I also make sure their familiar routine is maintained as much as possible while you are away. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, medication if needed, and providing companionship in a way that suits their personality. My goal is to build a trusting relationship and make their time without you as calm and positive as possible. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet and your home. That’s why I treat every animal and every home with kindness, respect, and responsibility. I’m also happy to send photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your cat is safe and well cared for. A few details about my services: • I offer cat sitting visits locally around Apeldoorn, where I can easily travel by bike. • For locations outside Apeldoorn, I offer house sitting wherever the location is reasonably accessible by public transport. • For bookings that require travel by public transport, I kindly ask that travel expenses are covered by the pet owner. I’m always happy to discuss the expected travel costs with you in advance. • I always like to arrange a short meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other, meet your cat, and make sure we are a great match. For meet-ups outside my local area, I kindly ask that travel expenses are covered. A quick note about Rover’s pricing: Sometimes the app applies additional charges for extra pets. I’m always happy to discuss these costs and find a solution that feels fair for everyone. If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your cat! Warm regards, Vanessa

Over: I grew up with cats & really love how each and every single cat has their own personality! It’s such a pleasure to spend time with them, play, cuddle & generally observe them!

Over: Ik zorg al voor allerlei soorten katten sinds mijn tiende. Mijn buren, vrienden en familie vertrouwen erop dat ik op hun huisdieren pas, ze voer en ermee speel... 25 woorden zoals

Over: Your cat will stay in a calm and quiet environment with very little noise. We have a small bunny in one of the rooms, so we naturally keep the house peaceful—no loud music or anything that could cause stress. This makes it the perfect place for cats to feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable.

Over: Wij zijn een warm en liefdevol gezin dat in een huis met een tuin woont en een grote liefde voor dieren heeft. Daarom vinden wij het fijn om voor dieren te zorgen wanneer hun baasjes even weg zijn. Onze dochter van 15 jaar is erg verantwoordelijk, geduldig en zorgzaam. Ze past regelmatig op de honden en katten van vrienden en kennissen en doet dit altijd met veel plezier. Dieren voelen zich snel op hun gemak bij haar en ze vindt het belangrijk dat ze voldoende aandacht, beweging en verzorging krijgen. Wij hebben zelf een kat gehad en hebben momenteel een papegaai. Ook hebben we vroeger al een papegaai gehad, waardoor we veel ervaring hebben met de verzorging van vogels. Daarnaast heeft onze dochter ervaring met het verzorgen van verschillende andere dieren, zoals kippen, eenden en koeien. Wij begrijpen dat elk dier zijn eigen behoeften en gewoontes heeft en doen ons best om ervoor te zorgen dat ieder dier zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt. Bij ons krijgen dieren veel aandacht, zorg en een fijne omgeving. Dit account wordt aangemaakt door mijn moeder, maar ik, Anna, ik ben 15 jaar, zal vooral voor de huisdieren zorgen. Wij zijn allebei grote dierenliefhebbers en vinden het belangrijk dat dieren goede zorg en aandacht krijgen. Tijdens de zomervakantie heb ik veel vrije tijd, waardoor de verzorging van huisdieren goed in mijn dagelijkse routine past. Ik heb voldoende tijd om dieren eten, vers water, aandacht en de verzorging te geven die zij nodig hebben. Veiligheid, vertrouwen & omgeving Wij wonen in een ruime woning en een afgesloten tuin. Daarnaast wonen wij vlak bij een bos en een park, wat ideaal is voor wandelingen met honden. We hebben zelf ook een papegaai en zijn gewend om goed voor dieren te zorgen. De veiligheid en het welzijn van huisdieren staan altijd voorop. Bij opvang of verzorging zorgen wij voor een rustige, veilige omgeving en volgen we altijd de afspraken van het baasje.

“Charlie had amazing time with Carolina. She was taking pictures and sending updates all day. I recommend this sitter, your dog will be in very good hands!”

Maja S.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m super happy with Shamira! She took such wonderful and loving care of my two dogs, Gini and Specki, during their daycare stay. 🐶❤️ You can immediately tell that she genuinely loves dogs and is very caring and reliable. I especially appreciated that Shamira kept me updated throughout the day and regularly sent me little updates. It was so reassuring to know that Gini and Specki were doing well, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. 😊 They both clearly felt very happy and comfortable with her. Thank you so much for taking such great care of them! We’ll definitely be back and I can absolutely recommend Shamira to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. 🐾❤️”

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

Over: I have been surrounded by pets since I was a child. Growing up with both a cat and a dog, I learned early on how to read their different "languages." One of my proudest achievements was successfully socialising my cat and dog to live in harmony, a process that required a lot of patience, calm energy, and an understanding of animal boundaries. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience walking my relatives' dogs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs to run or a shy dog who needs a gentle leader, I am comfortable adapting to different personalities. I’m not just a "sitter", I’m someone who genuinely enjoys the bond that comes from a long walk and a good play session. Im a 20-year-old student living in Almere. Because my studies allow for a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of free time and energy to dedicate to your furry friends. I’m currently saving up for my tuition, and since I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to occasional travel, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to share my home and heart with animals! I live right near Oostvaarders Station, which is a dream location for dogs! We are minutes away from incredible green spaces and the edges of the Oostvaardersplassen. My "adventure walks" take place in these expansive, quiet areas where your dog can truly explore. Also my neighborhood is peaceful and pet-friendly, with plenty of room to roam away from heavy city traffic. To ensure the highest level of safety and care, I only host one pet at a time. They will have my undivided attention for cuddles, play, and supervision. Safety & Communication Safety is my priority. I always use a leash during walks unless we are in a securely fenced-in area. I know how much you’ll miss your pet, so I love sending regular "pupdates" with photos and videos of our day so you can see how much fun they’re having! I only accept vaccinated pets to keep everyone safe and healthy. I can't wait to meet your companion and give them a fun, stress-free stay!

“Rico had a great time with Leonardo and Giulia. They are so enthusiastic and kind. I will gladly ask them again when I need a place for Rico to stay”

“Mathilda was fantastic with our two giant puppies! At very short notice she puppy proofed her home and had our two pups for the day. They came back happy and obviously had a great bond with her after only the one visit. If we come back to Amsterdam there is no one else I would rather trust to have my dogs! Thankyou Mathilda!”

Over: 🐶 Over mij Hoi! Ik ben Emily, een enthousiaste en zorgzame hondenliefhebber. Ik heb zelf 15 jaar een hond gehad en pas regelmatig op de honden van vrienden, dus ik ben gewend aan honden met verschillende karakters, energielevels en behoeftes. Ik vind het heerlijk om met honden op pad te gaan, te spelen, te knuffelen en ze vooral een fijne en gezellige tijd te bezorgen! 🐾 Wat ik aanbied Uitlaten Een lekkere wandeling waarbij jouw hond alle tijd krijgt om te snuffelen, ontdekken en energie kwijt te kunnen. De duur en intensiteit stem ik graag af op wat jouw hond gewend is. Dagopvang bij mij thuis Je hond is van harte welkom om gezellig een dag bij mij te komen. Ik werk doordeweeks flexibel en kan mijn hondoppas goed combineren met mijn werk. Mijn hondenvriendje mag in principe zelfs mee naar kantoor, dus als jouw hond het leuk vindt, kan hij/zij gezellig met mij mee. Logeren – dag & nacht Ook voor een nachtje (of meerdere!) is jouw hond welkom bij mij. Ik zorg ervoor dat hij/zij zich zo comfortabel mogelijk voelt en probeer zoveel mogelijk het normale ritme van thuis aan te houden. 🐕 Mijn beschikbaarheid Ik ben doordeweeks eigenlijk vrijwel altijd beschikbaar en ook in het weekend kan er veel. Omdat ik flexibel kan omgaan met waar ik werk, kan ik goed rekening houden met verschillende opvangmomenten. Ik vind het belangrijk om vooraf even kennis te maken met jou en je hond, zodat we kunnen kijken of er een goede klik is. Ik leer graag kennen wat jouw hond fijn vindt, waar hij/zij behoefte aan heeft en waar ik rekening mee moet houden. Ik kijk ernaar uit om jouw hond te leren kennen en er een gezellige tijd van te maken! 🐾❤️ Currently working full time but I can always bring your dog to the office with me. I walk a lot, in the morning, afternoon and evening. I have an apartment without garden but I often go to the park when i have to dog sit, I love being outside so that’s a good thing for your pet :)

Over: Two Dalmatians, a chihuahua, a Pomeranian and three mutts were my siblings growing up. I took care of them through every vet visit, may it be grooming days, sick days, or the few times they’ve given birth to puppies! I currently work part time so I am mostly at home and can do check-ins or walks, this is updated on my Rover calendar. I stay alert on walks and during home-sitting with pets. Care instructions for your little one will be carefully followed and depending on your preference, I can send updates throughout the sitting.

Over: I’ve had dogs since I was young and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I currently have a 30 kg Goldendoodle, Willow, whom I’ve spent the past two years intensively training as my service dog. Through this, I’ve gained lots of experience with obedience, consistency, positive reinforcement, routines, and understanding dog behavior. I’m also very comfortable with larger, energetic dogs and providing plenty of exercise, structure, and, of course, cuddles! 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am around throughout most of the day. Dogs in my care get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I normally take Willow on three longer walks and two shorter walks each day, so your dog can easily join our routine. I’m also happy to adjust my schedule to your dog’s usual walking, feeding, and sleeping routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure any dog staying with us feels comfortable around her. Since I work from home, dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs are treated like part of the family in our home, they’re welcome on the furniture (clean paws permitting!) and can sleep in my bedroom. I follow each owner’s routines and rules closely and will always take the time to help your dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home. And obviously will send pictures throughout the day of your pup; as a dog owner, that’s what I’d want as well!

“Maria is extraordinarily kind and communicative and took great care of my rescue Costa for the day. It’s obvious she provides a safe and stable place for dogs with difficulties because there were none despite Costa being in a brand new environment at her home. She kept me posted and is consistently polite and I can’t wait to trust her again with sitting my Costa.”

Manju R.

Over: Many of my friends and neighbours come to me for pet sitting - dogs and cats. I send them pictures every day, and the owners often say that their pets look so happy with me!! I'm gentle while firm, and will help your little animal stick to the rules and training, while giving them so much love that they deserve. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets. I work from home fully, so very flexible with my schedule and open to adapting to the needs of your little one. A typical schedule - 08:00 - a morning leg stretch; 12:00 - a bit of running in the neighbourhood park; 18:00 - a digestive walk to the lush dog park; 22:00 - a chill evening stroll. I have a big enough apartment for 3~5 animals, and they'll have plenty of space to run around! Your little animal will be allowed on furniture and the whole apartment, but not on the bed

“Heel betrokken, zorgzaam en mega lief voor onze hond. Heldere communicatie, flexibel in de planning, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!”

Over: Ik ben altijd opgegroeid met verschillende honden, bouviers, dwergschauzers en heb goed overwicht om ze in toom te houden indien nodig. Ik wandel graag en ben graag buiten te vinden. Ik werk fulltime, maar ik werk veel vanaf huis dus ondertussen kan ik jouw trouwe viervoeter ook bel aandacht geven. Ik ben altijd met een hond om me heen geweest en het lijkt me enig om jouw hond de aandacht te geven die het nodig heeft! We hebben een grote achtertuin waarin jouw trouwe viervoeter lekker buiten kan spelen. Naast ons huis is een groot grasveld waar hij of zij lekker los kan gaan!

“Caoimhe and Alex took great care of Charlie. He got along really well with their 9 month old toy poodle, Waffles. They took him for several short pee breaks during the day which we really appreciated since it is quite hot out to do longer walks today. They also kept us well informed throughout the day and shared plenty of cute photo and videos of Charlie and Waffles. Thank you both!”

Jennifer M.

“Pablo is een fantastische oppas! Hij was erg lief naar mijn hond en heeft me meerdere keren updates gestuurd met foto’s en filmpjes. Hij heeft een ruime woning met genoeg ruimte voor mijn hond om rond te lopen. Zijn vriendin en hij waren de hele dag thuis dus er was continu iemand om Bowser gezelschap te houden. Ik raad Pablo zeker aan!”

Merel T.

“Rania was great with Layla. She was enthusiastic to play and walk with her and I felt so comfortable leaving Layla with Rania. I have already booked another session with Rania. I can recommend her to anyone!?”

Annelise C.

Over: I’ve had a big dog for 7 years and have been around many different types of dogs and taken care of them for friends and family. I am currently a student at VU university so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available in the mornings, afternoons and evenings! I have a home set up for a dog as I have a dog myself. I have a lot of experience in walking dogs and when I check in on dogs I know how to play with them and make sure they are cared for.

Over: Al van jongs af aan ben ik een groot dierenliefhebber. De komst van mijn eerste eigen hond was dan ook zeker een feestje. Januari vorig jaar mocht ik mijn eerste hondje verwelkomen, een Australian Shepherd mo genaamd Maeve. Met Maeve ben ik actief in een groot aantal sporten. Zo zijn wij bezig met agility, detectie, canicross, schapen drijven, trick training, Rally-O en obedience. Ook zijn wij regelmatig op show te vinden. Daarnaast heb ik ook de nodige kennis van lichaamstaal. Ik doe niets liever dan op pad zijn met mijn hond. Heerlijke boswandelingen of een korte trainingssessie, zolang er plezier is geniet ik ervan. Vanuit huis uit heb ik al meerdere jaren ervaring met verschillende dieren, waaronder katten, honden, paarden en knaagdieren (en sommige vogel soorten). Ook heb ik twee jaar in een dierenspeciaalzaak gewerkt waardoor ik een breed scala aan kennis heb. Vanwege extra tijd zoek ik een aantal viervoeters om gezellig mee op pad te gaan, of die wat extra aandacht thuis kunnen gebruiken. Neem vooral contact op om de mogelijkheden te bespreken. Ik ben op alle doordeweekse dagen overdag beschikbaar. Avonden in overleg. Ik bied mijn services aan in omgeving ‘t Gooi en omstreken. Verzorging van uw huisdier kunnen we in overleg helemaal op maat maken. Ik vind het belangrijk om voor ieder dier de tijd te nemen. Karakters van dieren zijn zo anders per dier en hebben vaak even nodig om zichzelf te uiten en op hun gemak te zijn. Daarom kijk ik graag naar ieder individueel dier en zijn of haar behoeftes.

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.

“Carolina is very professional, prompt, friendly, and trustworthy. I have asked her to walk my golden retriever a couple of times and I would ask her again!”

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: I have extensive pet care experience spanning eight years, starting in 2016. Beyond routine care, I've regularly tended to dogs in shelters and have experience fostering them. With a personal pack of four dogs, ranging from small to medium breeds, I'm well-versed in managing various canine personalities and needs. Additionally, I specialize in training both puppies and seniors, ensuring they receive tailored care and attention suited to their age and development stage. As I'm currently just finished my Master Degree and working hybrid! I have ample flexibility in my schedule to prioritize pet care. I can seamlessly integrate it into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that your furry friend receives the attention and care they deserve. I'm available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, providing consistent and reliable care tailored to your pet's needs. In my apartment, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a nurturing environment for pets. Whether in my home or a pet owner's, I ensure a secure space where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Dogs are welcome to stay in my bed if that's their preference, and I'm diligent about maintaining a pet-friendly environment. Near my home, there's a park where pets can enjoy outdoor activities and socialization. I take precautions to safeguard pets from any potential hazards and provide a loving atmosphere where they can thrive.

Over: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners that I met in the city or at surrounding walking spots. During my time in Utrecht, I also worked for a local hondenuitlaat service, which gave me experience with a lot of common (and some less common) Dutch breeds. A few years later, I am now living in Amsterdam, working full-time with dogs at a fantastic farm facility outside of the city, and finishing up my Master's degree. Do I sound like the right fit for you and your dog? Drop me a message and we can arrange an initial meeting to get to know each other better! (Multiple positive references available upon request). I work a few days a week at a dog daycare organisation on a rural farmland property outside of Amsterdam. On my working days, if I am looking after a dog, I like to bring them with me so that they can socialise with the pack. All transport is done using a fully converted, dog-friendly wagon with additional AC (and lots of cookies!). If a dog needs to be left alone or doesn't get along with other dogs, this can also be easily accommodated during the day in a safe, penned-off area at the facility. On my days off, I am entirely flexible and work from home while finishing my Master's thesis, making my routine highly compatible with dedicated pet care. I live with my girlfriend in a large, multi-room apartment in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The location is convenient for dogs and humans alike, being just a short walk from several metro stations and with easy drop-off outside via street access. We are lucky to be located just a stone's throw away from Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark, with the Amstel and the Amsterdamse Bos close by, providing some wonderful green spaces right on our doorstep for daily walks. Our apartment has two balconies (one of which gets the sun all day long ☀️☀️☀️) and plenty of comfy space inside for dogs to relax. All my dog guests get an entire room to themselves to ensure they have their own quiet and safe space to rest—unless, of course, they prefer to cuddle up with us on the sofa or in bed... Because of my professional background managing packs, safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities, whether looking after a pet in my home or yours.

Over: Hi! I’m Vanessa, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile! Taking care of animals is one of the most rewarding parts of my life, and I’d love to care for your furry family member. Originally from Brazil, I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past six years. I now live in *Apeldoorn* after spending three years in Amsterdam. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies, senior pets, rescue dogs, reactive dogs, and many wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know every pet as an individual and helping them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with a beloved family member is a big decision. That’s why I treat every pet and every home with kindness, respect, and responsibility, just as I would hope someone would treat mine. My priority is to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is happy and doing well. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that you can return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. - A few details about my services: • I happily provide house sitting throughout the Netherlands wherever the location is reasonably accessible by public transport. Having lived in both Amsterdam and Apeldoorn, I’m comfortable traveling to care for pets in different parts of the country. For bookings that require travel by public transport, I kindly ask that travel expenses are covered by the pet owner. I’m always happy to discuss the expected travel costs with you in advance so everything is clear before confirming the booking. • Dog walking and drop-in visits are available locally around Apeldoorn, where I can easily travel by bike. • My rates may vary depending on each dog’s individual needs. I offer personalized care and always do my best to follow your instructions and make sure your dog gets exactly what they need. Rates are always open to discussion based on the care required. • I always like to arrange a short meet-and-greet beforehand so we can get to know each other, meet your pet, and make sure we are a great match. For meet-ups outside my local area, I kindly ask that travel expenses are covered. A quick note about Rover’s pricing: Rover may automatically add significant extra charges for additional pets. I don’t always agree with how these fees are calculated, so please don’t be discouraged by the total price shown in the app. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s needs and find a fair price that works well for everyone. If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Warm regards, Vanessa Pet care is my main focus, and I’ve built my schedule around providing attentive and reliable care for pets. Aside from my Dutch classes, my time is dedicated to ensuring every pet I care for gets the love and attention they need. This flexibility allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and ensure their happiness while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In your home, I ensure the environment is kept clean, secure, and comfortable for your pet, respecting their routine and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and care to make them feel safe and loved. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s maintaining a calm, familiar atmosphere or adapting to a pet’s unique needs, I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would for my own.

“Dank voor de goede zorgen voor Frouke. Op de foto’s en filmpjes die we tussen door hebben ontvangen is zo goed te zien dat ze het naar haar zin heeft gehad! Een fijne omgeving en wat zijn jullie lief voor voor Frouke. Dank!”

Tjitske K.

“Semonti was amazing! She took such wonderful care of our beagle, Tobi, and went above and beyond by sending us photos, videos, and daily updates. It made us feel so safe and at ease while being away from him. This was our first time using Rover, and I am so glad we chose her. We would love to have her watch Tobi again in the future. Thank you so much, Semonti!”

“Sky is voor het eerst van zijn hele leven uit logeren geweest. Ik vond het heel spannend, maar werden goed begeleid. Ik kreeg elke dag een appje met foto’s en hoe het ging. Sky heeft zich heerlijk vermaakt, ook sky was gewoon op vakantie. Hij was heel relaxed en Cristina en haar man waren heel lief voor sky, hij komt heel graag terug! Ik raad Cristina iedereen aan Sky has been staying out for the first time in his entire life. I found it very exciting, but were well supervised. I got an app every day with pictures and how it was going. Sky had a great time, Sky was also just on vacation. He was very relaxed and Cristina and her husband were very sweet to sky, he would love to come back! I recommend Cristina to everyone”

“Carolina was great! She did a great job taking care of our Kylo while we were on a long vacation. She was always very responsive and flexible too. Carolina is very kind and sweet with pets.”

Over: Hallo! Mijn naam is Mascha en ik woon samen met mijn 18-jarige zoon op het mooie IJburg.
Als echte hondenliefhebber heb ik jarenlang zelf honden gehad. Uit eigen ervaring weet ik hoe lastig het soms kan zijn om een fijne, betrouwbare opvang voor je hond te vinden wanneer je even weg moet. Daarom heb ik besloten om zelf hondenbezitters te helpen met liefdevolle opvang in een huiselijke omgeving. Ik woon in een ruim appartement met een groot balkon waar honden heerlijk kunnen ontspannen. Omdat ik momenteel geen eigen huisdieren heb, kan ik jouw hond alle aandacht geven die hij of zij verdient. Rust, ruimte, persoonlijke aandacht en een veilige omgeving staan bij mij centraal.
Zoek je een warm logeeradres voor je hond waar hij of zij zich echt thuis kan voelen? Neem dan gerust contact met mij op. Ik vertel je graag meer en kijk ernaar uit om jou en je hond te ontmoeten! Ik heb een flexibele baan en werk veel vanuit huis met voldoende tijd om aandacht en liefde aan jouw hond te geven. Afhankelijk van de leeftijd van de hond en jullie eigen wensen kan ik veel korte wandelingen maken of juist langere wandelingen in het park of bos. Ik woon in een ruim appartement op de 5e verdieping met een groot balkon waar een hond heerlijk in de zon of schaduw kan liggen.

“Buddy has had a good time again. Normally only stayed there with daycare, now spend several days. Was even possible for a last minute extension for 1 night. Feels good to have a place for him to stay and enjoy himself and be enjoyed”

“We waren best gespannen om ons hondje Blizzard voor het eerst bij een onbekende achter te laten, maar vanaf het eerste contact met Shaima hadden we meteen een goed gevoel. Ze was ontzettend warm en liefdevol, en haar ervaring met honden straalde er vanaf. Dat stelde ons enorm gerust. Tijdens het verblijf hield Shaima ons dagelijks op de hoogte met lieve berichtjes, updates en leuke foto’s. Ze nam echt de tijd om ons mee te nemen in hoe het met Blizzard ging, wat we als heel prettig hebben ervaren. Ze stelde gerust vragen wanneer dat nodig was, wat haar zorgzaamheid en betrokkenheid alleen maar bevestigde. Wat we ook enorm waardeerden: Shaima merkte dat Blizzard soms wat vaker naar buiten moest omdat hij het niet altijd even goed kon ophouden. Ze heeft zich daar meteen op aangepast en is meerdere keren korte wandelmomentjes met hem gegaan. Zo lief, ze keek echt naar wat hij nodig had. En het allerbelangrijkste: Blizzard had het zó naar zijn zin, dat we bij het ophalen bijna het gevoel kregen dat hij liever nog even bij Shaima bleef. Op de foto’s en video’s zagen we ook hoe blij en ontspannen hij was, en hoe liefdevol zij met hem omging. Wij komen zéker terug bij Shaima. Het was voor ons (en voor Blizzard!) echt een ontzettend fijne en warme ervaring. We raden haar met alle vertrouwen aan!”

Over: [english below] Hoi, ik ben Hanna! Wonend in Amsterdam Oost, vlakbij Amstelstation (goed bereikbaar met zowel OV als ook auto + lift aanwezig in het gebouw). Ik ben opgegroeid met katten, een hond dat uit een asiel is geadopteerd (labrador x stabij) en daarna een border collie x australian shepherd. Zelf heb ik ook kort voor een rescue gezorgd, helaas is deze niet meer bij mij. Ik zou daarom graag weer vaker op honden passen. Wandelen en hardlopen doe ik in m'n vrije tijd al best veel of graag, maar liever samen met een hond (hardlopen met de hond zou in overleg zijn / afhankelijk van of de hond daar behoefte aan heeft). Ik vind het ook heel leuk om te helpen met het trainen, te begeleiden bij hersenwerkjes/puzzels etc. Ik plan graag een kennismaking met jou en je hond(en) in om alles te bespreken. Een proef dag, middag, of overnachting is ook altijd mogelijk. Ik heb tevens (niet in die zin gekwalificeerd of professioneel, maar wel persoonlijke) ervaring met de wat ‘lastigere’ honden en deze zijn in principe en vooral in overleg ook welkom. Het aannemen van meerdere honden van verschillende baasjes gedurende dezelfde periode zal altijd in overleg zijn en ik heb zelf ook de voorkeur om de honden vooraf met elkaar kennis te laten maken. Hi, my name is Hanna! Living in the east of Amsterdam, near Amstelstation (so easy to reach by both public transport and car + there’s an elevator available in the building). I grew up with cats and dogs, and also have looked after a rescue dog for a while who sadly is not with me anymore. I'm excited to look after dogs again more often. I also really enjoy teaching dogs new things or guiding them with puzzles, brainwork etc. I’m looking forward to plan a meet and greet with you and your dog(s) to discuss whatever is necessary. A trial day or night is also always possible. I also have some experience (not in that sense qualified or professional, but personal experience) with behaviourally challenged dogs, which are also welcome but that obviously would require a discussion to see how and what the dog needs / to what extent. Accepting multiple dogs from different owners during the same period will only happen in discussion with the owners and will require a meeting between the dogs beforehand. I’m currently in the process of making this my full time job, so I’m home pretty much full time (besides for groceries and an occasional appointment obviously). So if you have a dog that needs a bit more active supervision or can’t stay alone yet or for not that long, I basically have all the time and presence your pet needs. I live in an apartment that’s decently sound-proof. There’s an elevator present in the building. I have 2 crates set up and also a fence throughout my place, so if needed I can keep the dogs separated when I have multiple dogs. At the moment the max I can keep at once would be 3, but that does take some extra consideration if they do go together if it’s the case they are dogs from different owners. Having 2 together would be more common than 3. Doors of the crates are generally open during the day, so if your dog isn’t crate trained (yet), that’s fine. Sadly I don’t have a garden, but I do have time, so I also like to just be outside with your dog as if we’re hanging out in a garden (I have multiple long leashes as well, so they can also do then do their thing in a safe manner if it’s not in a fenced area).

“10/10!! Eduard is such a fantastic person! Very friendly and respinsible! He took care of my lovely but mischievous/high-energy dog very well. The communication is very smooth and he responds quickly. My dog loved him and spending time with him:) I'll definitely book again with him!;”

Misaki K.

“Really loves animals and just wants to hangout with them. Has a lovely apartment space for pets staying over”

“Oz was een fantastische oppas voor onze labrador Guus! Super lief en Guus heeft een heerlijke tijd gehad met heel veel aandacht ❤️ wij zouden hem zeker aanraden! Bedankt Oz , tot de volgende keer 😘”

“On super short notice Megha and Ash took in our English Bulldog LouLou for a long weekend. They responded almost instantly, were extremely welcoming and finally made the stay for LouLou (and our family) super relaxed. She received all the attention she needed - and a lot more probably). Therefore we highly recommend this loving and warm couple - and thank them a lot. 🙏🏻”

Over: I've had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. We have our own much-loved dog, Oskar, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. We are a warm, affectionate family and will treat your dog like one of our own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime and cuddles in a safe, caring home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home three days a week, and on the other two days my partner, Will, works from home, so there is always someone at home to provide company, care and attention. We have a 10-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Oskar, who is a much-loved member of our family. He enjoys two walks a day, along with additional toilet breaks whenever needed, so any dogs staying with us will be part of our regular routine. We understand the importance of exercise, companionship and maintaining a dog's usual schedule, and we'll ensure your pet feels safe, happy and well cared for throughout their stay. We follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication and any specific care instructions. Our home is clean, pet-friendly and ideal for dogs who enjoy companionship and affection. We have a gentle 10-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Oskar, who is very used to other dogs. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, as either I or my partner works from home each day. I will always keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and having a wonderful time.

“Onze hond was super happy om bij Marlies & haar gezin te verblijven - we kregen elke dag leuke fotos van de wandelingen en avonturen van Anouschka, en ze zag er helemaal top uit toe we ze gingen ophalen!”

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

“Martina is such a great and reliable sitter! She shared a lot of photos throughout the whole stay and Misha had a lot of fun as well! I’m would recommend her 100%”

Jovan P.

“Ziqing is an amazing pet sitter - communicative, easy to reach, and very caring. We left our dog with her for 4 days and she took great care of him. She followed the instructions that we had given and shared regular updates. Our dog got comfortable very quickly and was happy to spend time with Ziqing.”

Ketan M.

“Super happy that I found Anushka. She took really good care of my dog while I was on a work trip. My dog can be quite sensitive to changes and a bit worried when I leave her with new ppl but Anushka was patient with her and gave me updates, sent pictures and told me about how she was settling in. Felt very safe to leave her there. Will def book again when something’s come up.”

Lina K.

“Olive was a very happy dog with Lada. We received lots of lovely photos while we were away, which we enjoyed very much. Would definitely book with Lada again!”

Mariko M.

“Daria is lovely. She treated pucho as if he was her own dog 💙 She walked him often and send me a lot of pictures. My dog definitely didn’t miss me! Highly recommend”
