“This is the second time little Ellie has stayed with Thomas and she was happy go lucky. She was so excited when she got out of the car she pulled me all the way to his house. Thanks again!”

Over: I grew up having dogs and I’ve had a cat for the past 6 years when I lived back home who had a tough, independent personality, so I’m very comfortable handling cats with attitude or boundaries. I’ve learned how to read animal body language, respect their space, and still build trust over time. My experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to make even the most particular cats or dogs feel safe and at ease. I understand animal behavior and always make sure they feel safe, respected, and loved. PS: I speak Dutch, English, Polish and Spanish I go to the gym in the mornings from 7 to 9 a.m., and after that, my days are usually free for pet care. I’m currently on a summer break from my job in the security and hospitality industry, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your cat or dog. Whether it's daytime check-ins, overnight stays, or keeping your kitty or dog company, I can easily fit their needs into my schedule. I understand how important a safe, calm space is for pets. I can care for your cat or dog in your home to reduce stress and keep their environment familiar. I'm careful with doors, litter box hygiene, and routines. I will make sure your cat or dog feels secure and well cared for at all times.

Over: Hi! We’re Salvatore and Greta, a couple of passionate animal lovers with years of experience caring for dogs. Greta has a Dogo Argentino and a cat who currently live in Italy with her family. Since we recently moved to the Netherlands, we decided to leave them in the care of her parents—who are true animal lovers and treat animals better than people—rather than subject them to long travels and drastic changes in their routine. We know how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your dog. We will take care of your furry friend with the same love and dedication as we do for our own! What We Offer: • Fun and stimulating walks tailored to your dog’s needs • Attention, playtime, and companionship when you’re away • Respect for your dog’s routine and habits • Feeding and fresh water if needed • Updates with photos and messages to keep you reassured • Overnight stays on weekends, providing a safe and loving environment for your dog Availability: We are available on weekdays after 5:30 PM and almost all weekends.

Trust us with your furry friend—we will care for them with love, experience, and dedication! Contact us to get to know us better and arrange a first meeting! How We Integrate Pet Care into Our Daily Routine We strive to offer attentive and well-organized pet sitting services that fit seamlessly into both your pet’s needs and our daily routine. Here’s how we manage our days while caring for our furry friends: Morning: • On weekends or when providing overnight stays, we start the day with a morning walk for the dogs, ensuring they get fresh air and exercise. • For cats, we take care of litter cleaning, feeding, and providing fresh water, as well as offering playtime or cuddles, depending on their preferences. Workday: • On weekdays, we work until 5:30 PM, but we are available for evening walks and pet visits right after work. • If we are hosting a dog or cat for overnight care on the weekend, we make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while we go about our daily activities. Evening: • After work, we are available for walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs entrusted to our care. We ensure they have the right balance between exercise and relaxation. • For cats, we provide home visits or care for those staying with us, making sure their space and routines are respected. • On weekends, with more free time, we plan longer walks and extended interaction sessions for both dogs and cats. Night (Weekend Overnight Stays Only): • If a dog or cat stays with us overnight, we create a calm and welcoming environment, ensuring they feel at home while maintaining their habits. • We always accommodate any special requests, such as specific feeding routines or bedtime habits. Our Goal: We aim to make the experience as stress-free and natural as possible for your pet, providing loving care and a home-like environment. Our routine is well-structured to balance quality time with the animals and our daily work schedule. Contact us to learn more and find the best solution for your pet’s needs! A Safe & Comfortable Home for Your Pet When your pet stays with us, we make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. Our goal is to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience, respecting their routine and individual needs. A Cozy & Pet-Friendly Environment • Our home is a calm and welcoming space, perfect for dogs and cats who need a peaceful stay. • We provide a comfortable resting area, whether they prefer a cozy bed, a quiet corner, or a soft blanket. • We respect their personal space and habits, allowing them to settle in at their own pace. Daily Routine & Activities • Dogs enjoy regular walks and playtime, with exercise suited to their energy levels. • Cats receive attentive care, including feeding, litter cleaning, and play or cuddles as they prefer. • We follow your pet’s usual schedule, including mealtimes, walks, and bedtime routines. • If needed, we can provide basic training reinforcement (e.g., leash manners, simple commands). Loving & Attentive Care • We ensure constant supervision, keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort and well-being. • We only accept a limited number of pets at a time, so each one receives personalized attention. • We send regular updates with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Special Needs & Requests • We are happy to accommodate special dietary needs, medications, or specific routines to make sure your pet feels at home. • We always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, ensuring a clean and secure environment.

Over: Hoi! Ik ben Lieke. Ik ben 18 jaar. Ik heb nu inmiddels al 4 jaar een goldenretriever. Ik vind het heel leuk om honden op te voeden, uit te laten en lekker mee te spelen. Ik heb vroeger ook huisdieren gehad als cavia’s en hamsters. Ik ben heel erg dol op huisdieren!! Als ik in de ochtend wakker wordt laat ik mijn hond uit en geef ik mijn hond eten en drinken. Als ik uit ben ga ik naar huis en laat ik mijn hond uit in het bos bij mij om de hoek. Ik heb een tuin met hekken erom heen. Ik heb veel ruimte in mijn huis waar de hond lekker kan rondlopen. Ik heb veel honden speeltjes in huis.

Over: Ik pas al 3 jaar lang op een hondje en ik vind t geweldig, want ik mag zelf geen huisdier hebben dus ik pas graag op honden en katten! Ik heb momenteel geen bijbaan alleen school ik zit op ROC Amsterdam en heb best wel veel vrije tijd. Dus daarom wil ik graag iets leuks doen zoals van dieren zorgen! Ik heb best grote tuin en hou van spelen en speeltjes kopen voor hondjes. Ik ben niet van bench ik hou als honden vrij mogen zijn dus op bed, bank overal mag zijn bij mij thuis!

Over: Sinds kort woon ik in Haarlem voor mijn studie en werk, en daardoor heb ik Indy en Luna, mijn twee golden retrievers, helaas bij mijn ouders moeten achterlaten. Ik mis het gezelschap van een hond enorm, en het lijkt me heel fijn om hond te hebben om wat aandacht aan te geven. Ik help graag met uitlaten of wat er verder nodig is zoals eens logeren. Momenteel werk ik Part-time als jurist in het vastgoed daarbij is mijn werk fietsend te doen dus lekker dichtbij!! Verder hou ik van wandelen en ga ik vaak naar het strand. Tot slot vind ik het niet erg om vroeg op te staan of mijzelf een beetje aan te passen. Ik woon centrum Haarlem maar ik heb genoeg parken/ groen om mij heen waar we lekker kunnen uitwaaien en als ik echt geluk heb kunnen wij zelfs naar het strand.

“We boarded our Samoyed girl with Ramón for the Easter holiday and couldn’t be happier. Ramon accepted the booking after kindly arranging a meet and greet. Ramon and Austin really listened to the care taking instructions and have Polar groomed perfectly. We will definitely come back in the future”

Over: Een aantal jaar geleden had ik een oppas gezin met nog twee puppys erbij waar ik ook voor oppaste. Verder heeft mijn oma altijd honden gehad. Ook is mijn zusje dierenarts en laat ze me altijd veel zien. Ik werk parttime waardoor ik de woensdagen vrij ben. De za en zo doe ik vaak rustig aan en maak ik vaak wandelingen en daar past een hond goed bij. Ik woon in een appartement met een groot balkon die veilig omringd is door dichte hekken. Verder is er veel natuur in de buurt en de molenplas.

Over: Ik laat vaak me eigen hond veel uit en die van de buren. Ik kan puppy’s opvoeden en kunstjes leren! Ik hou van honden en katten zijn ook Welkom Momenteel doe ik school door de weeks maar ben vaak om 15:00 uit en op maandag en vrijdag ben ik vrij om de week! In het weekend doe ik sport maar ben om 13:00 klaar. Ik heb een dakterras met hekken eromheen en woon boven een supermarkt! Je moet dus wel een trap op. Het kan bij mij maar bij het baasje is wel goed

“Thanks Jose for help with hosting our dog. Kind and friendly person. We had photos and videos of our pet. I was calm and sure that she is in good hands. After hosting she was not such stressed as after pet hotel, instead she was happy and in good mood. Very recommend Jose.”

Over: Ik ben Iris, 34 jaar, en heb vanaf jongs af aan verschillende huisdieren gehad. Sinds 2 jaar hebben wij (ik, en mijn twee kinderen van 7 en 5) nu een lieve poes. In het verleden heb ik regelmatig op verschillende hondjes gepast. Met veel liefde verzorg ik jouw huisdier, geef ze te eten en speel met ze. Ik vind het leuk om te wandelen en ga graag naar het strand of naar het bos. Op dit moment werk ik part-time en ik werk dagelijks vanuit huis, genoeg ruimte en tijd om voor jouw huisdier te zorgen, te knuffelen en lekker te wandelen dus:) Ik heb een omheinde tuin, geef de dieren de ruimte wanneer ze dat nodig hebben. We volgen het ritme en wensen die ze thuis gewend zijn. De hond mag vrij rondlopen in huis en de tuin.

Over: Your dog or cat will be in safe, loving hands and get all my attention. I'm Sarah and I'm from France. I live in a quiet flat in Haarlem without kids or other pets, so it’s a calm space where your pet can feel relaxed and at home. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have looked after dogs and cats since I was a kid. Building trust with them means a lot to me, and I know it takes time, patience, and consistency. I really enjoy hanging out with animals playing, cuddling, going for walks, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I stick to the same rules and routines you’ve set, so your pet stays comfortable and everything feels familiar. Dogs and cats need someone they can trust and someone you can trust too. I’d love to be that person for you and your furry friend. I work part-time in a restaurant and rarely after 3pm. So I have a lot of time to take care of your dog or cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in their familiar environment, I always focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my home, I create a calm and cozy space with no other pets or children, so your dog gets my full attention. I stick closely to the routine you’ve shared whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, or rest so your pet feels right at home. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you know how your furry friend is doing. No matter where I care for them, I treat every pet like my own with patience and affection.
