Kattenoppas in Haarlemmerliede en Spaarnwoude

“Katheryn is our go-to sitter for Nicio and has already watched him numerous times. She is always wonderful to communicate with and we always come back to a very happy cat!”

“Karen en Koen hebben met veel liefde en zorg op mijn katten gepast. Ze zijn betrouwbaar en betrokken. Ik kon met een gerust hart op vakantie, heel fijn!”

Maud W.

“Marijne heeft liefdevol en nauwkeurig voor mijn 2 katten gezorgd. Op de foto’s en filmpjes zagen ze er heel tevreden uit en hadden ze het naar hun zin met Marijne. Ik kon ‘loslaten’ in de wetenschap dat ze in heel goede handen waren. Dankjewel en tot de volgende keer!”

Over: I've had pets all my life, and I love taking care of and being with them! I intend to give a lot of attention, affection and special care to your pet companion!!! I'm from Brazil, and I live in Leiden as an aupair. My working hours are from 15h until 20h. all week, and I'm always free on weekends. I'm available to help at any time I'm not working. 😊 I always like to prepare meals for the Pets 2-3x a day, water throughout the day, lots of play, affection and walking and walks to spend energy! 😅

“Maria took excellent care of my cat during my holiday of two weeks. She made sure all needs of my cat were met, was flexible in her schedule and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

Over: I can walk with your little dog with pleasure and energy. Provade gentle care and attention, create play and feeding. Ensure safe and friendly environment. Hi! My name is Anna I live in Nederland with my husband and little san. Originally I from Russia. I really miss the company of cats and the soft cat back. I have some time during the day to look after and clean up after the cats. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are gone. I can feed, give injections, clean, pet and play, walking if needed.

Over: I bring a calm presence, genuine curiosity, and strong intuition that help animals feel safe and seen. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust to their unique needs and personality—whether that means playful energy, training patience, or simply being present and calm. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at the same time, each with their own challenges and special needs. This experience has taught me how to stay focused, balanced, and responsive in dynamic situations. I also have experience with administering medication and handling pets who require extra attention. I’m physically active and happy to take long walks or go for runs with high-energy dogs. At the same time, I’m attentive and gentle with older pets who need a slower pace and more care. My background as a massage therapist and actor has sharpened my sensitivity to body language and emotional cues, which helps me connect deeply with animals. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to hearing from you! Although I currently work full-time during the day, I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and overnight. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, or stays outside regular office hours. I live in Wormerveer. I always take great care to ensure a safe and calm environment, whether I'm in your home or mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and energy, and adapt my approach to keep them relaxed and secure. I build trust gradually and connect both with pets and owners on a personal level, so everyone feels at ease.

Over: I’ve had dogs my whole life but due to a usually busy work schedule as a teacher I currently cannot accommodate a puppy full time. Rover allows me all the love and joy of a dog in my home at the moments when I can give them 100% of my attention. I only take care of pets in my home when I’m in the house- on holidays and weekends. So your furry friend is never bored! Walks are a great way for me to get out and I do them any day of the week! I have a child and smoke free home with a fenced off balcony which has an extra puppy gate to ensure safety. Walks around me are amazing and I love the beach if your furry friend does too.

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid met twee hondjes waar ik graag heel veel aandacht aan besteed. Daarnaast heb ik regelmatig hondjes uitgelaten voor buren en vrienden. Ik ben dol op alle dieren en haal enorm veel energie en plezier uit hun gezelschap. Als echte dierenvriend zorg ik voor elk dier alsof het mijn eigen is. Ik studeer momenteel fulltime in Amsterdam en werk part time, ook in Amsterdam. Daarnaast lijkt het mij dus super leuk en gezellig om voor diertjes te zorgen en tegelijkertijd mensen te helpen om hun tijd beter in te kunnen delen. Per week verschilt het hoeveel tijd ik heb, maar ik sta voor alles open en ben hier heel flexibel in! Omdat ik nog thuis woon, komt het voor mij beter uit om bij mensen thuis op te passen. Ik heb dan ook de volledige aandacht voor het dier en zal er alles aan doen om ze veilig en vertrouwd te laten voelen :))

“Solana took care so well of our senior cat Katje, she really connected with her and made sure she had plenty of food, care and cuddles in our absence. She kept us updated with pictures regularly. In addition, Solana is a very easy-going, cheerful and communicative person. Highly recommended! Thanks Solana!”

Over: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for over 12 years, ever since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. Making pets feel safe and happy is always my priority I’m currently available in the mornings and evenings, which gives me a great window to care for your pets with attention and love. Whether it’s early walks, feeding, or evening playtime, I’m here to help keep your furry friends happy and well cared for! When caring for pets in your home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and ensure they get plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of your home and committed to keeping both your pet and your space safe.

Over: I have experience of pet sitting more than 100 pets in the Netherlands. I have taken care of rescued cats and dogs and have experience with emotionally needy cats, kittens, shy cats, anxious cats, senior cats, rescued dogs, etc. I have experience in discipling the pets and grooming their behaviors. I work for 3-4 hours a day from the laptop. I have a very flexible schedule. Hence, I am available to take care of your pets as per their schedules and give them as much attention as they require! I have experience of looking after and taking care of various animals, including cats, parrots, dogs, and rabbits, but cats are my absolute favorite. No, actually, I'm favorite of the cats 😄 Over the years, I've fostered rescued cats, including shy ones and those initially scared of humans, helping them transform into playful and loving companions. My pet sitting experience extends to kittens, older cats, shy cats, super energetic cats, and both indoor and outdoor cats and rescued dogs. As a pet sitter, I prioritize following all given instructions and closely monitoring the cats throughout my stay. My approach is to earn their trust patiently, avoid any forceful interactions, and allow them to feel comfortable in my presence. For cat sitting videos and photos and my reviews, you can check out my social media pages on Facebook and Instagram with the username "catsitterinhoofddorp." I hope this description accurately reflects my experience and passion for caring for cats.

“Illona took great care of my cat. She was very patient and kept me updated regularly, which I really appreciated. I had an emergency and asked if she could watch my cat for an extra day — she kindly agreed without hesitation. Very reliable and caring. Highly recommended!”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Laura to look after my beloved cats, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Laura is a true animal lover. Throughout the entire pet-sitting period, Laura provided exceptional care and attention to my cats' every need. She followed all the instructions meticulously and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Not only were my cats well-fed and groomed, but she also enjoyed plenty of cuddle time. Laura took the time to understand my cats' personality and preferences, and it showed in the way they interacted with her. I highly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional cat/dog-sitter. Her dedication and love for animals are truly exceptional, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you Laura!”

“Susanna is a fantastic sitter! ? We went on vacation for a week and we knew our two cats were in great hands and well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Susanna again if we need a sitter in the future!”

Over: Hi, I’m a 27-year-old animal lover living in Amsterdam with a deep passion for caring for pets! I’ve always been surrounded by animals — from helping on farms with goats, sheep, and donkeys to looking after friends’ dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I also volunteered at a puppy shelter in Aruba, where I helped care for and socialize young pups in need of love and attention. My boyfriend and I have a sweet Staffie, but he’s currently living with him outside the city, which means my home (and heart) has space for another furry companion! I regularly pet-sit my best friend’s bulldog (often for a whole month at a time), and I’ve gained experience with many different breeds and personalities over the years. The same goes for the cat of one of my best friends, which is my responsibility regularly. I love spending time outdoors with pets, especially around Sloterplas Lake where I live, as well as Vondelpark, Oosterpark, and the Amsterdamse Bos. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I always strive to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I only accept vaccinated animals to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the care and affection they deserve! 🐾💛 I’m currently between jobs, so I have full flexibility and plenty of time to care for your cat any day of the week. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or daily check-ins, I can easily adapt to your cat’s routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings — whenever your furry friend needs attention, food, or a little playtime. I treat each visit with care and patience, making sure your cat feels safe and happy in your absence. When caring for cats in their own home, I follow their regular feeding and care routines closely to keep things stress-free and familiar. I always make sure their litter box is clean, their space is tidy, and that they receive the affection and attention they’re comfortable with. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you informed and at ease. If your cat stays at my place, they’ll have a calm, quiet environment with no other pets around. I make sure they have cozy spots to nap, toys to play with, and lots of love and care. I only accept vaccinated cats to ensure a safe and healthy space for everyone involved.

Over: Hi there! I’m Ausrine, and animals have been my greatest passion since childhood. Growing up, I dreamed of having both a dog and a cat—and that dream came true early! At age 5, I got my first pet, a bunny. Two years later, we welcomed a curly-haired Bichon Frise into our family, and soon after, we rescued a sweet cat. Ever since, I’ve felt a deep connection with animals—whether it’s a dog, a cat, or even a goat, I just can’t pass one without stopping to admire it.

 🐶 My Experience

I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have learned a lot from caring for them. When I moved to another city for university, I began volunteering at an animal shelter. I was later selected to work specifically with rescued dogs that had behavioral challenges such as anxiety, reactivity, and dependency.
This experience inspired me deeply. It taught me how to build trust with scared or sensitive animals and how much patience, calmness, and consistency can transform a pet’s life. I learned to read subtle signs of stress and understand their emotional needs. 
Eventually, I adopted my own dog (~4 years ago) , Kopa—a wonderful and sensitive soul with a history of trauma. She’s been my greatest teacher. To help her (and deepen my knowledge), I completed several dog training programs, including:
 Puppy pre-course 
Advanced obedience training 
Anxiety-focused dog training 
Dog gym training
 Agility training (which we’re doing now!)

I’ve also pet-sat many breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, King Cavaliers, Poodles, etc. and rescue dogs with complex personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always approach each pet with love and responsibility. 
In addition to dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats—both social and shy, young and senior. I understand their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm environment where they feel safe and at ease.🐱
