Dagopvang Haarlemmermeer

Over: I've been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. I grew up with two wonderful dogs a Bernese Mountain Dog and, more recently, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, who is still living happily with my family in Brazil. Since moving to Amsterdam, I've really missed having animals around, so taking care of dogs here feels like a natural way to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy. Besides caring for my own dogs, I've looked after my cousin's cat on two separate occasions for around 2 3 weeks each time, as well as my sister-in-law's dog. These experiences have taught me the importance of respecting each pet's personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I live with my girlfriend, who is also a big animal lover, and we both have flexible schedules, which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We live directly across from a beautiful park and the Sloterplas lake, making it the perfect location for long walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, exploring the park, or simply relaxing on the sofa with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel at home and receive the same care and affection I'd give my own pets. My name is Pietro, and I live with my girlfriend Susana. We both have flexible schedules, and on weekdays there is always one of us at home, so pets are rarely alone for long periods of time. Our daily routine allows us to give pets plenty of attention, company, and care throughout the day. We can easily adapt to each pet’s needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply spending time together. On weekends, Pietro and Susana enjoy taking longer walks in the morning or evening, especially around Sloterplas Park, where pets can enjoy fresh air and explore. We genuinely love having animals as part of our routine and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while they are with us. I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they are with us. My girlfriend and I are both big animal lovers, and because we have flexible schedules, there is almost always someone at home to keep them company. We live in a comfortable two story home with a secure balcony, giving pets a safe and welcoming space to relax. Our home is a calm environment where they can feel comfortable, play, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. We truly enjoy having pets around whether it's going for a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. We love creating a place where pets feel like they are part of the family. When caring for a pet, we always respect their routine and personality. We make sure they have fresh water, food at their usual times, a clean space, and lots of attention and affection. We also love sending photos and updates, so owners can feel reassured and connected while they are away. Our goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Marie was super happy to see Tripti again and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our little dog in her care. It was clear how excited she was to spend time with her again, and that gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she shows for our dog. Highly recommend!”

Over: I’ve lived with both cats and dogs: grew up with a stubborn teckel, and more recently adopted a senior cat. I love the energy of puppies and the peace of old aged pets. Due to my schedule I can’t adopt anymore but miss that contact and energy. I do mostly have a hectic schedule, but the days or periods when I’m off I can adapt and give my full attention to your pet. I live in an apartment with a small high fenced garden. Besides that I live next to a big park that allows for long walks a runs.

Over: I grew up as a teenager with a golden retriever and every time I go back to Paris at my dad's, I happily take over the full routine: feeding, walking, playing, brushing hair and teeth… I walk very consistently on a daily basis, rain or shine, so a dog who wants/needs long walks has found the right sitter. This love for dogs actually goes way back: as a kid I used to walk the neighbor's dog just for the joy of it, sneaking in extra rounds whenever I could after school. So this isn't a new hobby for me, it's something I've genuinely loved my whole life. Good with big (25kg max) and small dogs! I’m working for freelance as an artist. I work mostly from home with a steady routine. I go for a long walk every morning and evening, and can also incorporate a mid day walk very easily! I live in a studio appartement with concrete floor that is very easy to clean. I have a balcony that is safe for small dogs as well, and of course enough space for setting up a dog bed in the living room !

Over: Hoi! Ik ben Bibi, 41 jaar, en een echte hondenliefhebber. Ik ben opgegroeid met altijd twee honden in huis, eerst cocker spaniels en later terriërs. En mijn moeder heeft nog steeds twee honden. Oftewel, honden zijn eigenlijk altijd een onderdeel van mijn leven geweest. Daarnaast heb ik regelmatig opgepast op de honden van familie en vrienden, en zit nu dus ook op Rover. Ik vind het leuk om een band op te bouwen met een hond. Of we nu lekker gaan wandelen in het park of het bos, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon samen ontspannen, ik zorg ervoor dat een hond zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Tegelijkertijd ben ik duidelijk en consequent, zodat een hond weet waar hij of zij aan toe is. Mijn doel is dat jouw hond een fijne, liefdevolle en vertrouwde tijd heeft terwijl jij met een gerust hart weg bent! Momenteel werk ik niet, dus ben ik veel thuis. Ik ga natuurlijk wel de deur uit, maar er is dus genoeg tijd om je hond te verzorgen! Ik heb een groot appartement met grote woonkamer en een balkon met stenen omheining waar de hond onmogelijk uit kan ontsnappen. Als je hond in een bench slaapt dan is het handig om die mee te geven.

Over: Your dog's home away from home cared for by someone who misses theirs everyday 🐾
Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover who has spent 10 years(and counting!) caring for my lovely black Labrador dog Hera and regularly looking after my friend's & relative's dogs and sometimes cats. I am truly obsessed with all animals but especially dogs and enjoy making them feel safe,loved and happy!
Since I moved to Amsterdam from Cyprus, I really miss having a pet around and pet sitting is my way of staying connected to what I love the most and I pour that longing & affection into the pets that I care for :) 
As a vegan, wellbeing of animals is something I take seriously in every aspect of my life including using cruelty free products and supporting ethical businesses. I have a very deep appreciation and love for all animals and you can trust that your furry family member will be treated with the same love and dedication as my own❤️
Willing to administer oral medication or help with other issues to the best of my capability. Can provide updates through videos/photos/ messages as often as desired. I am experienced with energetic/hyperactive and also calm pets. Experienced with big and small dogs. 
The small balcony is covered by tall long glassess so there is no possibility to fall. Both indoors and outdoor balcony is safe.
Happy to answer any questions you may have and hope to meet your fur baby soon! I am currently not working full time so I have enough time and attention to give. I take the pets I care for a walk minimum 2 times per day and play with them often. In my apartment outdoor balcony is covered by long tall glassess and indoor glassess are also quite well covered so there is no possibility to fall.

Over: Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and growing up surrounded by them has given me a strong, intuitive understanding of their behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. From playful puppies to calm seniors, I’m comfortable adapting my care to suit each dog’s personality and routine. As a dog sitter, my goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience so your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I offer attentive, structured care that includes daily walks (at least 2/3 per day), with one longer outing of 45–60 minutes to ensure proper exercise and mental stimulation. I’m fortunate to live right next to a large park, which provides plenty of green space for walks, playtime, and enrichment in a safe, natural environment. Because I live in an apartment without a private yard, I place extra emphasis on outdoor time, engaging indoor play, and frequent potty breaks. Activities can include interactive games, basic reinforcement of training (if desired), calm companionship, and maintaining your dog’s usual feeding and rest schedule. My priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. In terms of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments over the years. This includes managing high-energy dogs that need lots of stimulation, as well as providing gentle, patient care for older or more anxious dogs. I’m attentive to behavioral cues and always aim to create a calm, positive environment. I am currently in between jobs, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available most of the day. This allows me to provide constant supervision, regular interaction, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your dog will not be left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my day to meet their specific needs. To ensure a safe and healthy environment for every dog in my care, I only accept fully vaccinated pets. I take my responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, reliability, and genuine care—so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, as I’m currently in between jobs and have a highly flexible schedule. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to each pet in my care without distractions or time constraints. My days are easily structured around the needs of the pets I’m looking after. For dogs, this includes multiple daily walks—taking full advantage of the large park right next to my home—as well as feeding, playtime, and rest. For cats, I ensure regular feeding, litter box maintenance, and spend quality time engaging in play or providing calm companionship, depending on their personality. Because I’m not tied to a fixed work schedule, I can adapt my routine to match each pet’s usual habits as closely as possible. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day and ensure that no pet is left alone for extended periods. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and predictable environment, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home. My approach is always guided by the pet’s usual routine, personality, and specific needs. In my home, I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly space that is especially well-suited for indoor cats and dogs that are comfortable in an apartment setting. I pay close attention to safety by removing any hazards, supervising interactions at all times, and ensuring pets have a quiet area where they can rest undisturbed. For dogs, I make sure they get regular outdoor time, including multiple daily walks in the nearby park for instance. For cats, I maintain a low-stress environment with consistent feeding, clean litter boxes, and plenty of space to relax or play. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I respect both the space and the established routine. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to walking routes—and aim to keep everything as familiar as possible for the pet. I’m attentive to details like securing doors, monitoring behavior, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. Across both settings, I prioritize trust, communication, and safety. I only accept vaccinated pets and take the time to understand each animal’s habits, boundaries, and preferences. My goal is always to ensure pets feel secure and cared for, and that owners feel confident knowing their home and pet are in responsible hands.

Over: Hi, I’m Cho 🐾 I’m a calm and reliable pet sitter based in Amsterdam West, with a gentle approach that helps animals feel safe and comfortable quickly. I mainly care for dogs and cats, but I also have experience with birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I grew up surrounded by animals, so understanding their behavior has always come naturally to me ❤️ I currently have two cats of my own, whom I’ve patiently trained with simple commands like “sit” and “give a paw” 🐈 This has taught me a lot about trust, consistency, and reading animal body language.

I take care of feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and any specific instructions from the owner. I always observe the pet’s behavior and adjust my approach based on their comfort level. With dogs, I focus on calm and attentive walks. With cats, I respect their space and provide a quiet, stress-free presence 🐕🐈 I always treat the home with respect and leave everything clean and as I found it.

Over: (Available in Dutch, German and English) From a young age, I have always enjoyed being with animals. I am someone who finds her peace in nature and with animals. I have had cats my whole life, practiced horse riding, and since 3 year's, thanks to Rover, started taking care of dogs. Over time, I have gained considerable experience with various dog breeds, from puppies and small breeds to larger breeds and seniors. Through this experience with different breeds, I have learned to adapt to the ways and needs of your dog. If a dog enjoys being active and social, I make sure to find a outside area that fulfills these needs. I also have experience with dogs that are not social and need to be walked with stricter control. I’m in my last year of an arts bachelor. I go to school only once a week and for the rest of the week I practice/research/create at home. This means I have lots of open space to look after animals. I have noticed that it's beneficial for the animals to be in their familiar environment where they know everything and feel most comfortable. For those who are comfortable enough to stay at other places than their own house, I love to take care of them at my studio apartment in Amsterdam West. I don’t have a garden but I do have a balcony and enough green in the surrounding area to take them for walks. Important note is that I don’t have a separate bedroom and because of that I am careful on having dogs sleep over. I always like to meet them beforehand & preferably look after them a few times before having them sleepover.

Over: Hi there ! I am Valeria and I’m originally from Peru but I have been living in the Netherlands for a few years now. A year and a half ago I got myself a dog (Copito) and he became family right away. In Peru, I have always lived surrounded by dogs (3 actually 😅) and now I am more than happy to share my life with Copito and hopefully your dog 🐶. I am very flexible and can accommodate to any requests. I will do whatever I need to make sure your dog feels at home. ♥️ I work from home on Monday’s, Wednesdays and Friday’s and I am home during the weekends, I can be flexible with time and can work around schedules. I have a small garden for your dog, and together with Copito (my dog), we will make sure your dog always has company :) Of course if there any preferences, we can make it work.

“Excellent sitter !”

Over: ** I have two cats - please don’t book the daycare service unless your dog is okay with that! ** Hi! I’m Zuza - a software developer in my 30s, working from home most of the week, which gives me lots of flexibility and time to look after pets 🐾. Animals and nature have always been a huge passion of mine - I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs & cats, as well as birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs at times, and now share my home in Haarlem with two lovely rescue cats. As a sitter, I’m responsible, adaptable, and attentive to the different needs and personalities pets can have 🐶🐱. I’ll make sure your companion feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with daily pictures and messages 📸. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care 🐾. I usually go into the office only twice a week (typically Wednesdays and Thursdays), but even that schedule can be adapted if needed. This means I’m around and available to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to keep a safe and pet-proofed environment, especially for indoor-only animals. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow the routines that keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ll strictly stick to any feeding or medication schedules you set out, and when it comes to dogs, I’ll carefully follow your instructions on how to handle them in public to make sure they’re safe and comfortable on every walk 🐕. Trust and consistency are key, and I’ll make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away.
