“Koen en vriendin Karen zijn hele lieve verantwoordelijke oppassers voor je huisdieren, alle geduld en aandacht, foto updates en huis zelfs gestofzuigd, wat wil je nog meer 🤩👍. Ik raad ze dan ook van harte aan voor als je een oppas zoekt die in je huis verblijft.”

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! 😅

“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: Hoi! Wij zijn Martín en Floor, twee mensen die gek zijn op dieren. We passen graag op hondjes van vrienden of via Rover, gewoon omdat we het super leuk vinden om tijd met ze door te brengen en te verwennen met aandacht. Op dit moment zijn we veel beschikbaar, omdat we een tijd hebben gereisd en net terug zijn in Nederland. Op het moment werken we nog niet, dus we hebben veel tijd voor uw huisdier. Wij zijn beiden met veel huisdieren opgegroeid. In onze vorige woonplaats (Barcelona) hebben we vaak op de katten en honden van vrienden, en via de Rover-app, gepast. We vinden het geweldig om voor dieren te zorgen—lekker wandelen met honden, naar het park gaan en natuurlijk met ze te spelen en te knuffelen.

“Mijn katten en papegaaien hebben een topvakantie gehad met Camila. Ik kon mijn dieren met een gerust hart achterlaten. Elke dag kreeg ik een update met foto’s en ik kon zien dat de dieren bij haar op hun gemak waren. Fijn om een betrouwbare oppas in huis te hebben!”

Dave Nicole V.

“Ilona heeft een lang weekend huisbezoeken gedaan bij mijn twee katten Roger en Jack. Ze heeft heel goed voor alle praktische zaken gezorgd en ik heb elke dag foto's ontvangen. Hoewel het deze keer voor een weekendje weg was, zou ik Ilona voor echte vakantie zo weer inschakelen!”

“Fabian is an amazing dog sitter! He takes such great care of my dog, Louie—always following my requests perfectly. He lets me know when he's on his way, sends updates after each visit, and keeps me informed. Louie loves his walks with Fabian, and I really appreciate his positive attitude and reliability. Highly recommend!”

“This was the first time for me getting a sitter and leaving my 3 cats alone. I was very nervous and found it difficult to leave it in the hands of someone I didn’t know. Until….I met Ana. The moment I saw her all anxiety went away and I knew cats would be in good hands. Ana is such a sweet, gentle, kind person and it felt really good. During the visits Ana would keep me up to date about cats well being and send pics & videos. She was so attentive with my cats and really cared about them. I am very happy to have mer Ana and hence I have asked her to come back in January when I’m going on leave. I would highly recommend Ana! Dear Ana, thank you for your support while I was gone!”

Over: (🗣️NL, ENG, PL) I have a degree in Animal Science, and attended an internship at a veterinary clinic and zoological garden. I’ve worked at an animal shelter/ senior house, thus my experience with working with dogs and cats can assure you, your beloved once will be in good hands :). Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At my parents house I used to take care of our 7 dogs, which I’ll be happy to talk about more when we meet :) Furthermore I’m a traveller and have an social and outgoing but calm personality. Please, do not hesitate and contact me via direct text message. This way we can plan the visit individually, to your and your pet’s needs. For me pets are part of the family and I approach them each and everyone with the same amount of care, based accordingly on their individual needs.

Over: Ik heb altijd al liefde gehad voor honden en katten. Helaas kunnen wij zelf geen huisdieren hebben, maar daardoor help ik graag andere mensen met de verzorging van hun huisdieren! Mijn werkrooster is verschillend, maar op de meeste dagen heb ik na 17.00 tijd voor de verzorging. Het is wel fijn om van tevoren contact op te nemen. Ik zou graag wat eigenschappen en informatie over jouw huisdier horen en aan de hand daarvoor zal ik eventueel met ze spelen, knuffelen, of ze wat meer met rust laten :).

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.

“Agata did such a great job looking after little Luna whilst we were away on holidays and communication was quick and friendly :)”

Over: I've taken care of dogs for many years back in Colombia as we have a country house with my parents. Maco and Pango (Golden Retriever's) and Luna (Cocker Spaniel) has been part of the family for more than 10 years. I am working at home 4 days a week. Very flexible schedule, I am available as early at 05:00 AM. Weekends availability is open all day. I will make sure your lovey fur friend gets enough exercise and providing healthy snacks to keep it well nourished. I will keep close company with them as I also would love to become a good companion to your pet :)

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.

“Super friendly and trustworthy”

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.🐱
