Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Haarlem

“Such a wonderful and friendly family! They were super attentive and kept us updated with lots of pictures of our dog. We felt completely at ease leaving our pup with them.”

Amir N.

“Anastasia is WONDERFUL! She is professional, caring and ensures that she is up to date with all our pets routine. Watson was so excited to see Anastasia and Enola had no issues meeting Anastasia for the first time. Anastasia kept us up to date and let us know how their were doing. Looking after a puppy is definitely hard work, and Anastasia was SUPERB!”

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.

“We had an excellent experience with Paola and Salvatore. Our dog, Ziggy, stayed with them for two weeks, and despite sometimes struggling with separation anxiety, he seemed relaxed, happy, and very comfortable from the start. They kept us updated daily with messages and photos/videos, which we really appreciated. When we picked Ziggy up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very fond of them. We would happily leave him in their care again. Highly recommend!”

Over: Hi! I’m Alisa, and I’d be happy to care for your dog or cat while you’re away 🤍 Whether you need boarding in my home, house sitting in yours, dog walking, or home visits, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for 🐾 I live in a quiet two-story house (about 90 m²) in Haarlem Noord, in the peaceful Indischewijk neighborhood. It’s a calm residential area with lovely green spaces nearby, mostly home to families and retirees, making it a great environment for relaxed walks I don’t have any pets of our own here in the Netherlands, so your dog will have our full attention. I work from home every day—I’m a ceramic artist (all my pieces are animal themed, huge animal lover here), so your pet will not be left home alone. My home is quiet, cozy, and perfect for pets who enjoy a calm environment I grew up surrounded by animals. My family has always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a part of my life since childhood. Over the years I’ve looked after breeds including a Black Russian Terrier, Cane Corso, and Prague Ratter, as well as many cats—from tiny kittens to senior cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can always feel calm knowing exactly how your pet is doing :) Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, naps, or just having someone nearby, I’ll happily adapt to their routine and personality 🫶🏻 If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and will not be left alone. I’m very flexible and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine, whether it’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing a calm companion during the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends with advance notice Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet two-story home in Haarlem Noord with no other pets, so your dog or cat will receive our full attention. My neighborhood is peaceful, with several lovely green areas for walks. I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide

Over: I've had dogs all my life, however in the past 15 years I have focused on senior pet rescue, foster, and hospice. One of our dogs even had a pace maker! I have extensive experience in medication administration and a deep love for all animals. Right now we have a senior toothless chihuahua which is why we limit the size of pets we take in our home. However, if you have a large dog that is older extremely gentle and mild mannered we can discuss having our dogs meet and exceptions can be made. I would also consider a 2nd dog from the same household. Between my husband and I one of us is always home with our senior so no one will be left unattended. If I am coming to your pet I accept everyone and adapt to your pets individual needs and environment. The environment we provide is calm, safe, comfortable, and quiet with constant supervision. Pets are allowed on the furniture with pet stairs and blankets provided. If I am coming to your home I adapt to your pets needs and environment to keep it as routine as possible for them.

Over: Ik heb sinds 2 jaar zelf een hond en merkte dat ik heel leuk vind. Ook heb ook heb ik op honden gepast van kennissen en dat ging mij goed af Ik werk fulltime maar werk 2 dagen thuis dus kan dan tussendoor weg om honden uit te laten. Voorkeur gaat om tijdens de lunch honden uit te laten Ik probeer altijd zoveel mogelijk informatie van de baasjes te krijgen zodat ik weet hoe zij voor hun hond zorgen en wat hij/zij het prettigst vinden. Zo kan ik de hond de beste verzorging en aandacht geven

“Loes had zo een uitstraling dat ik haar gelijk wel vertrouwden met mijn Doodel , en wat blijkt .. zo lief kreeg af en toe een appje met foto en info , erg fijn! Het is echt een aanrader , erg lieve dame!”

“In one word: Amazing! Our little dog Nitro had a fantastic stay at Tripti’s during our X-mas holiday abroad. Tripti informed us daily with several video’s and photos so we could see how Nitro was doing. Nitro was cuttled lots and was spoiled with homemade food, lovely walks and snacks. Thank you Tripti for his wonderful stay. You really took away our worries of leaving him behind as Nitro doesn’t like to travel. Like Nitro, we also had a great holiday, thanks to you. Next time we will definitely call you again. You are the best! ❤️”

“Dagmar was a great super. She and her boyfriend took very good care of Pete in their house when I couldn’t. She sent lots of pictures and videos regularly. We would definitely hire her again.”

Lola P.

“Austin was a wonderful pet sitter for our puppy! He sent great updates and we could relax knowing our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away. We’ve already rebooked with Austin for the next time we’re away. I highly recommend Austin!”

Claire B.

“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: I have extensive experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I treat every animal with love and respect. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, and giving attention, so your pet feels safe and happy. I understand how important routine is and I always carefully follow the owner’s instructions. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I am available on weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. I make sure to organize my routine so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily life because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain a calm, loving, and clean environment. During walks, I ensure pets are always secure and supervised. At home, I provide a comfortable and stress-free space where they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Maya absolutely loved staying with her. Would definitely recommend her to everyone. Can see how passionate she is about animals! Also communicated very well, always got updates and pictures!! Great stay!”

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: Wij zijn een warm gezin met twee jonge kinderen van 7 en 5 jaar en een enorme liefde voor honden. Zelf hebben wij jarenlang honden gehad, waardoor we veel ervaring hebben. Vanwege ons werk kiezen we er bewust voor om op de dagen dat we echt tijd hebben een gezellige oppashond in huis te nemen. Wij zijn beschikbaar op woensdag, vrijdag en af en toe in het weekend. Bij ons krijgt uw hond volop aandacht. Veel knuffels en speelmomenten met de kinderen. Lekkere wandelingen. Een liefdevolle huiselijke omgeving. Dit natuurlijk waarbij wij rekening houden met de behoefte van uw hond en de regels en routines welke hij/zij gewent is. Wij wonen op de eerste etage, daarom zoeken wij bij voorkeur een hond die we (volwassenen) de trap op kunnen tillen wanneer dat nodig is. Zoekt u een betrouwbaar en liefdevol adresje waar uw hond zich welkom voelt? Dan maken wij graag kennis! Wij kijken uit naar een leuke match en hopen dat dit een oppashondje wordt die we met regelmaat zien. Uw hond kan bij ons zijn van woensdagochtend vanaf 07.30 uur tot woensdagavond 21.00 uur zijn. vrijdagochtend vanaf 07.30 uur Of donderdag vanaf 17.30 uur tot vrijdagavond in overleg (afhankelijk van de plannen) Of aansluitend het weekend. In overleg en tegen betaling kan ik de hond ook halen / brengen. Wij ontvangen uw hond graag bij ons thuis, waarbij hij/zij onderdeel van het gezin zal zijn. Wij vinden het heerlijk om te kroelen of te spelen en wij zijn graag buiten met de hond, maar er zijn ook voldoende momenten van rusten. Naast dat wij binnen een zee aan ruimte hebben, hebben we ook beperkte buiten ruimte.

Over: About Me & My Motivation

Hi! I’m an animal lover based in Zandvoort, and I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I lived with my own cat for 3 years, which taught me about trust, patience, and emotional bonding with animals. I also previously volunteered at a local cat café where I cared for 7 resident cats—feeding them, monitoring their behavior, and providing attention tailored to their unique personalities, which gave me wonderful experience.

In addition to short-term care like dog walking, home visits, and playtime, I can now host your furry friends in my own home. Whether they stay at my place or I visit yours, my goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and safe while you’re away.

🔹 Availability

I am generally available in the morning, afternoon, and early evening, depending on the day. Feel free to ask about specific times.

🔹 Services Offered

 Pet Boarding (hosting pets in my own home)
 Dog Walking (20–45 minutes, depending on your pet’s needs)
 Home Visits (30 minutes to 1 hour; longer stays available on request)
 House Sitting (overnight stays in your home)
 Administering Oral Medication
 Basic Training Reinforcement (during walks/play)
 Note: I do not offer grooming or injection services.

🔹 During Care (At My Home or Yours)

I will regularly feed your pets, refresh their water, clean litter boxes, and spend plenty of quality time with them. If I am visiting or staying at your home, I can also water plants and bring in the mail upon request. I am highly respectful of your home, ensuring windows and doors are secure, and I use lights responsibly to simulate presence.

🔹 Vaccination Policy

For safety and hygiene reasons, I only work with fully vaccinated pets.
I treat every pet like a companion, not just a responsibility. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the care they deserve. I am generally available in the morning, afternoon, and early evening for dog walking and home visits. Since I focus on coming to your home, I can easily adapt my schedule to fit your pet's routine, offering walks (20–45 mins) or longer house-sitting stays to keep them company. I treat every pet like a companion and respect your home as if it were my own. During house sitting, I ensure windows and doors are secure and lights are used responsibly. I can also water plants and bring in the mail, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved in their own environment.

“The Chiba’s staying was amazing! Kemely did everything I ask and even more (feeding, brushing, walking, cleaning..). He had a lot of fun and even didn’t want to go home)) Kemely, thank you co much for your caring and attention to Chiba! We definitely will come back!”

Over: Als kind vond ik het fantastisch om elke dag het hondje van de buren uit te laten. Als de buren op vakantie gingen was het hondje een paar weken bij ons. Aangezien ik nooit huisdieren van mijn ouders mocht, zocht ik de dierenliefde op deze manier op. Aangezien ik op dit moment nog steeds geen hond heb, vind ik het leuk om op jouw lieve dier te passen! Ik vind het leuk om met honden te spelen, te knuffelen en goede wandelingen te maken. Ik werk als adviseur, waarbij ik veel vanuit huis werk. Ik kan dit werk overal doen, waardoor ik veel tijd heb om jouw hond gezelschap te geven en veel aandacht. Ik verzorg uw hond precies naar de regels en de gewoontes die hij of zij is gewend, aangezien ik uw regels en gewoontes letterlijk overneem. Zo is er duidelijkheid en rust bij zowel u als baasje en uw hond, en ook bij mij.

“Enisa is een top catsitter! Wij hebben een goed communicatie met haar gehad ze stuurde elke dag paar foto's en ze zorgde uitstekend voor onze kat! We zullen het haar de volgende keer zeker nog eens vragen.”

“I would highly recommend Francisco! He took great care of our cat and was very communicative. It was wonderful to have the peace of mind that she was well cared for while we were away. You can certainly tell that he not only has a lot of experience with pets but also cares a lot about them. I will definitely reach out to Francisco again for my next trip.”

Zoe J.

“Symbat took good care of my cat Sushi, even providing medication. She sent a lot of pictures and updates when she was there as well. I would recommend her!”

Annika B.

“Zara is really amazing! The sitter made sure to take time to familiarise with our blind cats and make friends with them, and we felt very reassured every day that our sweet babies were 100% in good hands! Very good knowledge of cats, and very good communication (you will receive daily updates with pictures and videos). Thanks a ton!”

Joelle G.

“Letichia is een warme en hartelijke vrouw met een groot hart voor dieren. Ze heeft uitstekend voor Snowy gezorgd, hem aandacht gegeven en met hem gespeeld. Snowy voelde zich op z'n gemak bij haar. Hij zag er prima uit en was levendig bij mijn thuiskomst. Ik zou haar zeker nogmaals boeken indien nodig. Bedankt Letichia, ook namens Snowy!”

“Wilmari is an attentive, meticulous, and respectful cat sitter, and you can tell she loves animals and her job. If I ever need her again, I'll definitely contact her.”

Over: I grew up on a farm in South Africa, surrounded by animals from day one like cows, horses, sheep, and every creature in between. That foundation, plus a lifetime of having my own pets (including cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even a potbelly pig), means I understand animal behavior on a level most sitters don't. Cats especially: I know the difference between a cat that wants attention and one that just wants you gone, and I respect that. I'm based in Haarlem with a car and bike, so I can reach you reliably whether you're central or just outside the city. I offer drop-in visits and house-sitting, and I'm happy to administer basic medication if your cat needs it... my farm background means I'm not squeamish about that side of care.

Over: Ik heb sinds mijn 16e verschillende honden en katten gehad om uit te laten en te verzorgen als de baasjes op vakantie waren. Zelf heb ik 2 katten en hadden wij hiervoor 2 honden in huis. Een van mijn uitlaat honden liep ik mee vanaf puppy af aan. Momenteel ben ik bezig met het afronden van mijn HBO studie waardoor ik veel tijd heb die ik zelf in kan richten. Het verzorgen of even lopen met dieren geeft me de juiste break om daarna weer door te kunnen met mijn scriptie. Ik bied van wegen mijn eigen katten helaas niet de mogelijkheid om andere dieren bij mij in huis te nemen. Wel zal elk dier liefde ontvangen wanneer ik langs kom.

“Julita was great with our cat, Henk. Eventhough Henk mieouwed the first night and kept her awake the whole night, Julita was calm and kind so that Henk felt at home very fast. Henk was not left alone and recieved all the attention needed! Julita sent me updates and pictures daily. I would recomend Julita as catsitter and will make use of her services again, when needed.”

Jelena S.

“Amber was amazing! I came home to two very happy cats, who had obviously been taken care of. She was also a saint of patience: our plans shifted several times in the lead up to the trip and she was gracious and accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone”

Alexandra F.

Over: I specialize exclusively in cat care. I understand how sensitive cats can be to changes in routine, so I focus on consistency, calm energy and patience. I adapt to each cat’s personality — whether they need interactive play, quiet companionship or simply respectful presence. I am comfortable administering basic oral medication if needed and always observe behavior to ensure everything feels normal and safe.

Over: I am a freelance designer and love all animals dearly. I'm unable to have a pet of my own since my apartment is not pet-friendly, so I come equipped with ample petting hands and an open heart to make sure your kitty friend is safe and assured when you are away.

“Sarah is a great pet sitter, my cats loved her. She communicates well, sends pictures and takes good care of the cats. I do highly recommend her!”

Maryvon S.

Over: I live with Spencer, she's my spicy meow meow family. I’ve also spent years taking care of my parents’ two cats: one’s a very sweet but deeply traumatized senior rescue who doesn’t trust easily and the other is a chaotic himbo who somehow always injures himself right before I catsit (I’ve drained three abscesses, from this adventurer, no joke). I’m used to giving meds, managing weird behaviors, and just letting cats be cats. I don’t force cuddles, I respect boundaries, and I’m extremely patient with nervous or reactive animals. Whether your cat is high-maintenance, invisible, or just plain weird I’m comfortable adapting to whatever they need to feel safe and unbothered.

“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: Ik kan erg goed omgaan met dieren, omdat ik zelf al heel mijn leven huisdieren heb.
Op dit moment heb ik drie katten en een vogel, maar vroeger ook cavia’s en konijnen gehad. Honden heb ik nu zelf niet, maar in de toekomst zou ik graag wel een hond willen. Ik heb daarentegen wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden, omdat vrienden en familie wel honden hebben. Of het nu gaat om katten knuffelen, een vogel verzorgen of met een hond wandelen, ik doe het allemaal graag met plezier en liefde. Uw huisdier is in goede handen bij mij. Ik heb op dit moment werk, maar ik ben erg goed in plannen! Samen kunnen we vast een geschikt moment vinden voor één van mijn aangeboden services. Ik heb zelf 3 katten en een vogel. Ik heb geen hond, maar ik heb wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden. Ik ben erg zorgzaam en kan goed opletten.

Over: Mijn ouders hebben altijd katten gehad. Daarnaast liet ik als jong meisje, vaak de honden in de buurt uit. Op latere leeftijd werden dat vaste adressen waarbij ik de huissleutel kreeg. Tijdens covid heb ik gewerkt als hondenuitlater. Mijn vriend en ik zouden graag een huisdier nemen, maar houden ook nog te veel van reizen. Daarom zouden we het heel leuk vinden om een dag/periode op jullie dier te passen. Ik werk op freelance basis en ben daarom erg flexibel in het indelen van mijn eigen tijd. Daarnaast kan ik veel werk, gewoon thuis doen. Wel zo gezellig. We wonen in een appartement met een balkon. Je bent vanaf hier, zo in het Rembrandtpark of het Vondelpark voor een goede wandeling. Ik hou van buiten zijn, loop zelf geregeld een rondje en hou van spelen en knuffelen met de dieren.

“I had a great experience and so did Hercules. Will come back again.”

Over: We are new to this website, but we have done a lot of petsitting for our families and friends in the past, especially cats and dogs. We also have been using a different platform where we do house and pet sitting abroad. We would diligently follow instructions where pet behaviour, diet, characteristics, medication, rules, training and routines are concerned. We would send daily updates, with photos and videos, to let you know how things are going :) We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We understand that trusting strangers to look after your much loved pets can be rather daunting, therefore we hope that by communicating with us, any existing worries or doubts can be eliminated :) Because we both mostly work from home and have flexible schedules, pet care fits easily into our daily routine. One of us is almost always at home, so pets are rarely left alone. We plan our days around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, and we can easily adapt to special needs, medication, or extra attention when required. We provide a calm, safe, and loving home where pets can follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. We give plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s personality, and because we’re often at home, pets are rarely left alone. We also send regular updates with photos and messages.

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.

“Loes was wonderful taking care of Bruno. She was friendly and communicative, all round would recommend :)”

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.

“Watson came home a happy dog. I think he had an absolute ball on his walks as he was totally out and asleep by 9PM. Happy Pup happy Mum. Anastasia is so kind and wonderful. She is willing to know everything about Watson's habits. I definitely will rebook with a daycare with Anastasia!!!!”

Claudia N.

“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: 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. When caring for pets, I always adapt to their personality — whether that means calm companionship for a shy cat or active walks and playtime for an energetic dog 🐕🐈 What you can expect from me: • Calm, attentive, and loving care • Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and companionship • Regular photo & video updates 📸 • Clear communication and reliability • Experience with shy, sensitive, and senior pets • Medication if needed Alongside running my own business, caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find grounding 🐾 I’m flexible during weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and happy to arrange a meet & greet so your pet can feel comfortable before booking. Feel free to send me a message — I’d love to meet you and your furry friend 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as I have a flexible schedule and am available during weekdays, evenings, and weekends m. I intentionally make time for pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy working with animals and find it grounding in my daily life. When I take on a booking, I make sure I am fully present and committed to giving your pet the attention and care it needs. This flexibility allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent care when needed ❤️ I care for pets in a calm, safe, and familiar environment by following their usual routine as closely as possible. 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: About Me & My Motivation

Hi! I’m an animal lover based in Zandvoort, and I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I lived with my own cat for 3 years, which taught me about trust, patience, and emotional bonding with animals. I also previously volunteered at a local cat café where I cared for 7 resident cats—feeding them, monitoring their behavior, and providing attention tailored to their unique personalities, which gave me wonderful experience.

I am highly respectful of your home, ensuring windows and doors are secure, and I use lights responsibly to simulate presence.

I can also water plants and bring in the mail, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved in their own environment.

Over: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was 10 years old. Over the past decade, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, gentle seniors, and everything in between. I can also help with crate training, giving medications, and ensuring your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I have lots of flexibility to devote to your pets since I'm not employed and focusing on my Masters. I’m available for boarding during the week or weekends and can provide walks, drop-ins, or playtime on weekdays after anytime. Your pet’s routine is important to me, so I’ll make sure their schedule is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. l have a very secure place. I can easily separate or crate dogs if needed, ensuring a safe environment for every pup. Whether in my home or yours, I keep a close eye on pets, give them plenty of exercise, and maintain a clean, comfortable space so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Over: Hi! I’m Alisa, and I’d be happy to care for your dog or cat while you’re away 🤍 Whether you need boarding in my home, house sitting in yours, dog walking, or home visits, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for 🐾 I live in a quiet two-story house (about 90 m²) in Haarlem Noord, in the peaceful Indischewijk neighborhood. It’s a calm residential area with lovely green spaces nearby, mostly home to families and retirees, making it a great environment for relaxed walks I don’t have any pets of our own here in the Netherlands, so your dog will have our full attention. I work from home every day—I’m a ceramic artist (all my pieces are animal themed, huge animal lover here), so your pet will not be left home alone. My home is quiet, cozy, and perfect for pets who enjoy a calm environment I grew up surrounded by animals. My family has always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a part of my life since childhood. Over the years I’ve looked after breeds including a Black Russian Terrier, Cane Corso, and Prague Ratter, as well as many cats—from tiny kittens to senior cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can always feel calm knowing exactly how your pet is doing :) Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, naps, or just having someone nearby, I’ll happily adapt to their routine and personality 🫶🏻 If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and will not be left alone. I’m very flexible and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine, whether it’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing a calm companion during the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends with advance notice Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet two-story home in Haarlem Noord with no other pets, so your dog or cat will receive our full attention. My neighborhood is peaceful, with several lovely green areas for walks. I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide

Over: Ik kan erg goed omgaan met dieren, omdat ik zelf al heel mijn leven huisdieren heb.
Op dit moment heb ik drie katten en een vogel, maar vroeger ook cavia’s en konijnen gehad. Honden heb ik nu zelf niet, maar in de toekomst zou ik graag wel een hond willen. Ik heb daarentegen wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden, omdat vrienden en familie wel honden hebben. Of het nu gaat om katten knuffelen, een vogel verzorgen of met een hond wandelen, ik doe het allemaal graag met plezier en liefde. Uw huisdier is in goede handen bij mij. Ik heb op dit moment werk, maar ik ben erg goed in plannen! Samen kunnen we vast een geschikt moment vinden voor één van mijn aangeboden services. Ik heb zelf 3 katten en een vogel. Ik heb geen hond, maar ik heb wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden. Ik ben erg zorgzaam en kan goed opletten.

“Karolina really has a passion for dogs. Our Penny loves her walks with Karolina. She gets so excited when she arrives and is fulfilled when she gets home.”

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.

Over: My passion for animals is at the heart of everything I do. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing a pet’s tail wag, their excitement during a walk, or the calm comfort they feel when they know they’re in good hands. As a young and energetic person, I bring enthusiasm, patience, and reliability to every pet I look after. I enjoy being active, so long walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged come naturally to me. I treat every animal with the same love and attention I would give my own, and I always aim to create a positive, joyful experience for them. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while giving their pets the happiness they deserve. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I love being active and spending time with animals. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks or afternoon check‑ins, I enjoy making pet care a regular part of my life. When I care for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their routine closely so the pet feels safe and comfortable. I make sure feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions stay the same. I keep the home tidy, give lots of attention, and make sure the pet never feels alone. If I care for a pet in my own home, I create a calm and safe space with enough room to play, rest, and explore. I give regular walks and updates to the owner so they always know how their pet is doing.

Over: I work freelance from home, so I prioritise my schedule around the care and support of your fur baby. Depending on the service you are procuring, I will run you through a step by step so we are clear on expectations and your pet receives the attention they will need to feel calm during your absence. I follow your direction strictly when taking care of your pet in your home, to make sure there is as much continuity as possible for their comfort. Is your list long and specific? I've got you covered. Lenient and go with the flow? Also perfect, I'll assess based on the pet's comfort cues and check in regularly with you to ensure they have everything they need!

Over: Hallo, mijn naam is Tom Knapen. Ik ben 20 jaar oud en een betrouwbare dierenliefhebber met ruim 4,5 jaar ervaring in de dierenbranche. Gedurende deze periode heb ik gewerkt bij Bea’s Dierenboetiek in Haarlem, een dierenspeciaalzaak met een breed assortiment voor huisdieren. Daar heb ik veel kennis opgedaan over honden en katten, met name op het gebied van voeding, gedrag, training, verzorging en dagelijkse beweging.  Vooral met honden heb ik veel ervaring. Ik ben vertrouwd met verschillende rassen, leeftijden en persoonlijkheden en begrijp hoe belangrijk een vaste routine, voldoende beweging en persoonlijke aandacht zijn. Naast mijn ervaring met dieren heb ik ook regelmatig op woningen gepast. Ik ben netjes, verantwoordelijk en ga altijd zorgvuldig om met iemands huis, spullen en privacy. Betrouwbaarheid en duidelijke communicatie staan bij mij voorop. Op dit moment werk ik parttime, waardoor ik veel flexibiliteit heb om aandacht te geven aan honden. Dit betekent dat ik ruim de tijd heb voor wandelingen, spelen, verzorging en het bieden van rust en gezelschap wanneer dat nodig is. Ik vind het belangrijk dat een hond zich op zijn gemak voelt en een fijne, stabiele dag heeft. Vanaf september start ik weer met mijn studie. Dit geeft mij een rustige en gestructureerde dagindeling, waarbij ik tussen mijn studiemomenten door graag tijd vrijmaak voor wandelingen en aandacht voor de honden. Studeren doe ik vaak met een hond in de buurt, wat ik juist erg prettig en rustgevend vind. Ik pas mijn wandelingen en activiteiten aan op de behoefte van de hond: van korte rustige rondjes tot langere, actieve wandelingen. Zelf haal ik ook veel ontspanning uit buiten zijn en bewegen. In de weekenden ben ik in principe vrijwel altijd beschikbaar en flexibel inzetbaar. Wanneer ik bij u thuis voor uw hond zorg, staat rust, vertrouwen en een fijne dagelijkse routine centraal. Ik ben van nature rustig en geduldig, waardoor honden zich snel op hun gemak voelen bij mij. Ik pas mijn zorg volledig aan op de behoefte van de hond. Dat betekent dat ik lekker actief en speels kan zijn wanneer de hond daar behoefte aan heeft, maar ook juist veel rust kan bieden bij oudere honden of honden die dat nodig hebben. Ik vind het belangrijk om goed te kijken naar het karakter en de energie van de hond, zodat elke dag prettig en gebalanceerd verloopt. Ik heb ervaring met oudere honden en honden met speciale behoeften, zoals slechter zicht of dementie. Hierbij vind ik het juist mooi om extra geduld, structuur en geruststelling te kunnen bieden. Daarnaast zorg ik ook voor gezelschap en aandacht tijdens de dag. Ik ben een rustige, betrouwbare aanwezigheid in huis, wat veel honden prettig vinden wanneer hun eigenaar er even niet is.

Over: Hey, I’m Cam, artist, cat mum, and part-time animal translator (tho I cannot share what I'm told). I offer walks, pet sitting, boarding, drop-ins, play time, pee breaks, the whole deal. I live in Haarlem with my judgmental but very cute cat Spencer, and regularly care for my parents' 2 cats and dog in Heemstede. Important note: My appartment is only accessible with stairs. I’ve looked after anxious rescues (all of my pets growing up, including a bunny and frogs, were rescues), hyper puppies, aloof old cats, and pets with meds or weird habits. I adapt to the animal, not the other way around. Your furry fam sets the vibe, I just roll with it. I work remotely most days, don’t smoke, and I’m not secretly trying to become a dog or cat influencer. I send honest updates, treat your house with respect, and make sure your pet feels safe, stimulated, and not lonely while you’re gone. Basically: I’m the sitter I’d want for Spencer. It is important for me to always set clear expectations on both ends of what pet cares means to you. I am happy to discuss special circumstances for your pet and find an arrangement that suits their care the best. Let’s do a meet & greet. If your pet doesn’t like me, I’ll take the L. Important Notice for housesitting - constant care (if your pet can never be left alone or not for longer than 1h for example) must be agreed upon in advance with sufficient lead time and for a for a higher fee. I am not always able to accomodate for constant care. I work oftent remotely and have a flexible schedule, so your pet won’t be left waiting for food, love, or attention. I’m based in Haarlem, happy to do local walks or drop-ins. Just message me and we’ll figure it out. Your pet’s safety comes first, always. I’m respectful of boundaries (yours and your pet’s), and I’ll follow your instructions to the letter. I’ll send you honest updates, cute pics included, and make sure your pet feels safe, stimulated, and not bored out of their mind while you’re away. Some important info before you book: Special care/medical care - must be agreed upon in advance depending on the level of additional care, I may ask for a for a higher fee. Boarding, Daycare, Housesitting - constant care (if your pet can never be left alone or not for longer than 1h for example) must be agreed upon in advance with sufficient lead time and for a for a higher fee. I am not always able to accommodate constant care.

“Sarah was easy to communicate with, very punctual for our scheduled walks and a responsible person. Would definitely recommend for dog walks”

Over: I’ve worked in company in Poland so I have a lot experience, i had many kinds of dogs, and any other pets, I’ll take all; small, big (if they can fit in my apartment). My dear friend is a groomer so I know a lot about dog’s behaviors. I’ll make sure you know your pet is in a right hands I work form only early hours, but my friend work from home so she’s always there to make sure our pets are fine and they don’t need anything, besides of my work hours I’m home all the time, I also don’t work weekends so I’m playing and taking care of your pet whole weekend I love long walks so your dog want be bored, I have balcony so your pet can get so sun and what that people are doing, I always make sure pets don’t need anything and have w lot of fun and hugs so they feel loved and not abandoned

Over: Ik heb sinds 2 jaar zelf een hond en merkte dat ik heel leuk vind. Ook heb ook heb ik op honden gepast van kennissen en dat ging mij goed af Ik werk fulltime maar werk 2 dagen thuis dus kan dan tussendoor weg om honden uit te laten. Voorkeur gaat om tijdens de lunch honden uit te laten Ik probeer altijd zoveel mogelijk informatie van de baasjes te krijgen zodat ik weet hoe zij voor hun hond zorgen en wat hij/zij het prettigst vinden. Zo kan ik de hond de beste verzorging en aandacht geven

Over: Als kind vond ik het fantastisch om elke dag het hondje van de buren uit te laten. Als de buren op vakantie gingen was het hondje een paar weken bij ons. Aangezien ik nooit huisdieren van mijn ouders mocht, zocht ik de dierenliefde op deze manier op. Aangezien ik op dit moment nog steeds geen hond heb, vind ik het leuk om op jouw lieve dier te passen! Ik vind het leuk om met honden te spelen, te knuffelen en goede wandelingen te maken. Ik werk als adviseur, waarbij ik veel vanuit huis werk. Ik kan dit werk overal doen, waardoor ik veel tijd heb om jouw hond gezelschap te geven en veel aandacht. Ik verzorg uw hond precies naar de regels en de gewoontes die hij of zij is gewend, aangezien ik uw regels en gewoontes letterlijk overneem. Zo is er duidelijkheid en rust bij zowel u als baasje en uw hond, en ook bij mij.

Over: Ik heb sinds mijn 16e verschillende honden en katten gehad om uit te laten en te verzorgen als de baasjes op vakantie waren. Zelf heb ik 2 katten en hadden wij hiervoor 2 honden in huis. Een van mijn uitlaat honden liep ik mee vanaf puppy af aan. Momenteel ben ik bezig met het afronden van mijn HBO studie waardoor ik veel tijd heb die ik zelf in kan richten. Het verzorgen of even lopen met dieren geeft me de juiste break om daarna weer door te kunnen met mijn scriptie. Ik bied van wegen mijn eigen katten helaas niet de mogelijkheid om andere dieren bij mij in huis te nemen. Wel zal elk dier liefde ontvangen wanneer ik langs kom.

“Zeer tevreden. Fijne communicatie en goed voor de honden!”

“Anastasia is WONDERFUL! She is professional, caring and ensures that she is up to date with all our pets routine.

Looking after a puppy is definitely hard work, and Anastasia was SUPERB!”

“In one word: Amazing! Our little dog Nitro had a fantastic stay at Tripti’s during our X-mas holiday abroad. Tripti informed us daily with several video’s and photos so we could see how Nitro was doing. Nitro was cuttled lots and was spoiled with homemade food, lovely walks and snacks. Thank you Tripti for his wonderful stay. You really took away our worries of leaving him behind as Nitro doesn’t like to travel. Like Nitro, we also had a great holiday, thanks to you. Next time we will definitely call you again. You are the best! ❤️”
