Over: Ik ben opgegroeid met honden en katten dus heb erg veel ervaring. Ik weet hoe ik met ze om moet gaan en ik vind het leuk om ook andere dieren te kunnen helpen. :) Soms heb ik weinig school waardoor ik veel tijd vrij heb thuis. In het weekend kan ik sowieso 2 hele dagen dus dat komt goed uit! Ik heb een dichte tuin. Ook heb ik een lieve hond en ook nog een aantal lieve katten. Ze kunnen allemaal prima om gaan met andere dieren. Ik heb ook een veldje voor de deur waar ik met de dieren kan spelen en ze uit kan laten.

Over: Hi! My name is Sofia, I’m a 23-year-old Italian Master's student living in The Hague. I’m a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience taking care of dogs – especially my two lovely Cocker Spaniels back home in Italy. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since moving to the Netherlands, I’ve really missed spending time with dogs – so I’d love to help care for yours! Whether your pup needs a calm walk around the neighborhood or a more energetic outing, I adapt easily to their personality and preferences. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable dog walker who treats your furry friend like family, feel free to reach out! 🐶💛 I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting all the week (including weekends), preferably in the afternoons and evenings. But we can discuss what are your needs. For me, safety and trust are the top priorities: I can guarantee a calm and controlled environment and my care adapts to your pet's needs. I offer flexible services, ensuring reliable and loving treatment at your home and outside. My goal is to always provide a safe and trusting environment for your four-legged friend :)

“Ella was absolutely amazing in taking care of our 2 cats. They both felt very comfortable with her and we were very reassured that she came to take care of them! We will undoubtely ask her to keep our cats again!”

Over: Hi, I’m Kelly, a wildlife biologist from London and lifelong animal lover who’s just as comfortable cuddling cats as I am handling exotic species! I studied at the Royal Veterinary College and have spent my career working with animals of all shapes and sizes, from domestic pets to wild primates. I grew up surrounded by pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a snake, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m currently finishing my PhD remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to giving your pets the attention, care, and company they deserve. As a biologist, I’m attentive to detail and deeply committed to animal welfare. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry (or scaly!) family member, and I’ll make sure they’re treated with love, patience, and respect while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and to make your time apart as stress-free and happy as possible for everyone! Ik leer op dit moment Nederlands, maar spreek het nog niet zo goed. I am doing a PhD remote so very flexible, I am available weekdays and weekends currently with no restrictions on my availability. I can adjust to your needs! I am happy to come to your home or bring your furry friend to my place. I do have a cat, Bonki, he is very relaxed and friendly. I live on the ground floor with access to a walled, communal garden.

“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: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I bring a deep understanding of the unique needs of each individual pet. From large breeds to small, from high-energy dogs to those needing extra attention, I have developed the ability to not only provide essential care but also enrich their lives through engaging play, affection, and companionship. I understand that dogs are sentient beings who require not only the fulfillment of their physical needs but also emotional support, structure, and a nurturing environment. What sets me apart from other sitters is my unwavering commitment to treating your dog as if they were my own. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels secure, loved, and constantly attended to, never left alone or neglected. Whether it’s managing the specific needs of puppies in training or offering attentive care to senior dogs, my approach is one of professionalism, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. You can rest assured knowing your furry companion is in safe, caring hands, with their well-being and happiness always my top priority. As I recently finished my University degree and I’m currently not employed, I have the flexibility and availability to dedicate myself fully to the care of your pet. My open schedule allows me to be available every day of the week, at any hour that suits your needs. This means your dog will always be my top priority, receiving the undivided attention and care they deserve. Whether it's for daily walks, extended stays, or spontaneous check-ins, I am always ready to provide consistent, attentive care around the clock, ensuring that your pet's routine is seamlessly maintained. I pride myself on creating a warm, welcoming, and dog-friendly environment for all pets under my care. While my living space is small, it offers a cozy, calm and relaxed atmosphere where dogs feel safe and at home. I live in a quiet student housing facility, with my own private room, ensuring no disturbances. Previous dog clients have loved the freedom of my space, where they are allowed to explore and relax, following any guidelines set by their owners. Whether it's choosing their favorite spot to sleep or simply having a peaceful place to unwind, your dog will have the comfort they deserve. In addition to the indoor environment, I have a secure, dog-friendly garden right outside, perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and safe exploration. Just beyond the garden is a beautiful park, ideal for walks and outdoor activities, providing ample opportunity for fresh air and exercise. If your dog feels more comfortable staying in its own home, I can accommodate that as well. I take care to follow your specific instructions, ensuring consistency with their routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs they may have. Whether in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

Over: Honden komen altijd op mij af. Ik maak elke dag een lange wandeling en zou het natuurlijk fantastisch vinden als jou gezellige viervoeter mij hierbij vergezelt. Ik zorg thuis voor een lieve oude kat. Omdat ik met pensioen ben heb ik meer tijd en zou graag ook voor andere dieren zorgen. Ik zorg thuis voor een lieve oude kat.

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Makiko, I am from Tokyo, Japan. I live in Leiden, Hoge Mors zone. I am a housewife, so I am very flexible with time and I would love to help you with your pet. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything or just want to ask me something. I can't imagine how life is without animals, which I love so much. I was born in a town surrounded by nature with many animals like cows, sheeps, raccoons, monkeys, and many others. I spent my all life with dogs in Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands taking care of my dogs, friends' dogs and neighborhood dogs! I enjoy it so much! I love taking care of pets, cats and dogs of any size, gender and age and taking care of more than one dog is not a problem for me thanks to all the experience I have collected during the last 10 years, abroad and in the Netherlands, with so many different dogs. I am very patient, scrupulous, punctual and careful. The happiness of the pets and the satisfaction of the owners are the absolute priority. I will follow carefully your instructions concerning all aspects of the life of your pet (walking duration, dietary necessities, playing attitude and more). If you live with a cat just let me know what life style he prefers and I will follow your instructions. If you have a dog, I can bring him for walk and play whit him accordingly with his needs. Old dogs need a short walk, other dogs need to run and play longer and more time per day. I will help your dog to maintain his lifestyle the closest as possible to the one she is used with you. My house is a house with a garden with a fence and spacious green areas close by. There is a lot of space to walk in the surrounding area. I live with my husband, my 14 years old daughter and one English bulldog (7 year-old). The pet guest staying at my place will have the space to sleep accordingly with what kind of pet is and your instructions. I am looking forward to reading from you and I wish you a great day. Makiko p.s. Prices for Dog Boarding, Doggy day care and House sitting are just a reference, so please contact me and let's discuss about. The rate changes accordingly to how log your pet needs my assistance. Thank you for your understanding. Currently my main occupation is pet sitting. I visit daily several dog, cats, rabbits, parrots and so on. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Safety is the first point for me. I am always very scrupulous while taking care of your pet. I will send you each time a photo of your pet to show you how he is going.

Over: Ik ben opgevoed met honden en katten vanaf mijn geboorte. Mijn moeder is honden trainster geweest, dus daar een hoop ervaring van gekregen! Ik heb echt van alles verzorgt van sterke pitbulls tot de meest schattige Berner sennen ;) Dit ging dan om verzorgen, uitlaten, spelen en verzorgen. Ik heb dit eigenlijk altijd voor mijn ouders en familie gedaan en wil nu graag ook voor andere mensen doen en zodat ik daar jullie bij kan helpen met de leuke beestjes❤️ Ik werk in de beveiliging dus vooral nacht werk maar meestal ben ik wakker om een uurtje 11:00 in de ochtend. Vanaf dan ben ik beschikbaar! Bij mij thuis wordt een beetje lastig aangezien ik nog thuis woon, maar ik vind het zeker niet erg om bij u thuis de hond te verzorgen en aandacht te geven!

Over: Ik heb op de middelbare school les gehad in dieren verzorging in theorie en praktijk. Ook hebben we thuis al sinds ik mij kan herinneren dieren thuis. Ik laat elke dag de hond uit en geef hem eten en aandacht, ik pas ook vaak op huisdieren van vrienden en familie ik heb dus ook ervaring met meerdere honden en katten Omdat ik zelf een ouder hondje heb die aan het dementeren is, let ik altijd goed op tijdens bijv het uitlaten. Hij loopt ook erg veel rond maar omdat hij niet meer zo goed kan zien let ik dan ook goed op dat die zich niet klem loopt

Over: Hallo! I'm Gigi.

 Just graduated from Leiden University (human rights law, but now I speak fluent "dog" and "cat" too 🐾). I live in Voorschoten and absolutely adore animals!

 Back in China, I have two lovely cats 🐱🐱, so I totally get how important it is to treat pets like family. And I often helped my neighbor walk her adorable Corgi! Here in the Netherlands, I volunteer with the National Animal Care Foundation where I help keep the cat area clean and cosy (yes, I’m basically a professional litterbox ninja 😼). 
I’m also learning Dutch! While I’m not fluent yet, I already know basic pet commands like “zit”, “kom”, so your pup and I will understand each just fine!

 I’d love to take your pup for a fun walk, some fresh air, and maybe even a little playtime! Reliable, caring, and always on time.
Message me – let’s arrange a walk!
Hope to see you and your furry friend soon! 😊 My daily schedule is very flexible right now as I'm job hunting. I hit the gym for two hours, but the rest of my day is completely open. This means I can easily fit pet care into my routine, whether it's daily walks, feedings, or longer visits, and I can work around your pet's specific needs. I primarily care for pets in their own home because it's less stressful for them! I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Their safety is my top priority, so I make sure everything is secure and they feel comfortable and trusted with me.
