Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Wijdemeren

Over: /NEDERLANDS Ik ben opgegroeid met dieren en heb door de jaren heen voor allerlei huisdieren gezorgd, waaronder katten, honden, papegaaien, vissen en konijnen. Daarnaast heb ik jarenlang paardgereden. Op latere leeftijd heb ik meer dan 10 jaar mijn eigen agapornissen gehad (lovebirds), waardoor ik veel ervaring heb opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, verantwoordelijkheid en het begrijpen van de behoeften van een huisdier. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen huisdieren meer en ik merk dat ik het gezelschap van dieren erg mis. Daarom vind ik oppassen op huisdieren zo leuk. Regelmatig pas ik op de dieren van familie en vrienden, en ik geniet er echt van om tijd met dieren door te brengen. Of jouw huisdier nu houdt van lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon een vertrouwd gezicht in huis, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt! /ENGLISH I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for many different pets over the years, including cats, dogs, parrots, fish, and rabbits. I also spent many years horse riding. Later in life, I had my own lovebirds (agapornis parrots) for more than 10 years, which gave me plenty of experience with daily pet care, responsibility, and understanding the needs of animals. At the moment, I don't have any pets of my own anymore, and I really miss having animals around. That's one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much. I regularly look after pets for family and friends, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. /NEDERLANDS Ik werk 36 uur per week en werk 2 à 3 dagen vanuit huis. De dagen die als beschikbaar staan aangegeven op mijn profiel zijn de dagen waarop ik thuiswerk. Omdat mijn werk vrij flexibel is, heb ik gedurende de dag genoeg tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, eten geven en natuurlijk veel aandacht en knuffels voor jouw huisdier. In de weekenden heb ik alle tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan de verzorging en het gezelschap van jouw huisdier. Jouw huisdier zal nooit tekortkomen aan aandacht, beweging, liefde en een fijne omgeving :) /ENGLISH I work a 36-hour week and work from home 2–3 days during the week. The days marked as available on my profile are the days I work from home. Because my job is quite flexible, I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course giving your pet lots of attention and affection. During weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pet's care and company. Your pet will never be short on attention, cuddles, or exercise while staying with us :) /NEDERLANDS Ik woon in een modern nieuwbouwappartement in een rustige omgeving. Mijn woning is schoon, veilig en comfortabel, met een ruim stenen balkon dat volledig is afgesloten met glazen wanden, waardoor huisdieren veilig kunnen genieten van frisse lucht en zon. /ENGELS I live in a modern, newly built apartment in a quiet area. My home is clean, safe, and comfortable, with a spacious stone balcony enclosed by glass panels where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

“Was hele prettige kennismaking Na verblijf was Rust heel relaxed en je kon merken dat hij het enorm naar zijn zin heeft gehad Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar”

“Maartje is an amazing dog sitter! Our dog, Chili stayed with her for 11 days. Within this period, she took her for long walks in a very pretty part of Amsterdam and did a great job with consistently putting her foot brace on during the outdoor time for our slightly disabled dog. Moreover, she also regularly updated us with photos during our holiday. I feel confident in recommending Maartje to any dog owner!”

“Sam took care of Sadie for 5 days and she did a wonderful job at it! She is a very friendly, approachable person, with a relaxed attitude. She sent me lots of pics and video's so that I could enjoy my holidays without worrying. Her two dogs were also very nice company for mine. The house and garden are a perfect environment for dogs! She communicates very well and consulted me when she wasn't sure about how to treat a situation. I would definitely recommend her and will most probably make use of her service in the future. Thank you Sam!”

Over: I’ve volunteered at a local animal rescue and worked as a pet sitter, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, litter cleaning, and giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or a senior pet needing special attention, I always make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. My goal is to make every pet as happy and comfortable as if they were at home. I moved to the Netherlands less than a year ago and am currently taking time to explore life and do what I truly love — caring for animals. Since I’m not working full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my 9-year-old cat, who is calm and friendly with both cats and dogs. My home is safe, clean, and cozy — perfect for pets to relax and feel at ease. I always make sure windows and doors are secure, and that the space is free from anything that could harm curious paws. When I care for pets at my clients’ homes, I follow their routines carefully and keep everything as familiar as possible. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and safe.

“This was the first time we use the services and I must say we are 100% satisfied. We left our babies and I felt like the most nervous mother who just left her children for the first time at pre school. I was nervous and emotional. Vatsala was amazing. We got updates and photos. Vatsala has been patient and answered all our questions. She has helped us feel comfortable knowing our babies are well cared for. If you are looking for a sitter Vatsala is the best you could ever get”

Over: Na mijn persoonlijke reis met mijn puppy die ik heb grootgebracht en getraind ben ik mijn liefde voor honden en andere dieren alleen maar meer gaan waarderen. Door mijn eigen ervaringen heb ik geleerd hoeveel rust, vertrouwen en geluk dieren kunnen brengen. Ik bied honden en katten een warm en liefdevol thuis in mijn fijne huis, omringd door natuur. Met rust, aandacht en fijne wandelingen midden in de natuur, langs bossen, vijvers en de duinen. In mijn grote afgesloten tuin en speciaal ingerichte kamer kunnen zij veilig ontspannen, spelen en genieten van alle aandacht die zij nodig hebben. Ik vind het belangrijk dat dieren zich veilig, rustig en vertrouwd voelen. Daarom kijk ik goed naar hun behoeften en geef ik ieder dier persoonlijke aandacht. De aanwezigheid van honden mis ik enorm en daarom geef ik honden en katten met veel liefde, geduld en aandacht een warm thuis. Missschien tot snel! 😊 Ik werk voornamelijk vanuit huis, waardoor de verzorging van huisdieren perfect in mijn dagelijkse routine past. Mijn dagen kan ik flexibel indelen zodat er voldoende tijd is voor uitlaten, spelen, rustmomenten en persoonlijke aandacht. Daarnaast maak ik graag wandelingen in de dichtbijgelegen bossen en prachtige duinen, zodat honden voldoende beweging, frisse lucht en ontspanning krijgen. Ik verzorg huisdieren in een rustige, veilige en huiselijke omgeving met veel persoonlijke aandacht. In mijn ruime huis en omheinde tuin kunnen honden vrij rennen, spelen en ontspannen. Daarnaast heb ik twee aparte kamers ingericht: één voor honden met matten en speeltjes, en één voor katten met een speel- en klimhoek waar zij zich veilig kunnen terugtrekken. Meerdere keren per dag maken we fijne wandelingen en tussendoor zijn er voldoende rustmomenten, zodat dieren zich ontspannen en vertrouwd kunnen voelen.

“Monique is an amazing sitter! We felt totally at ease knowing Mochi was being looked after her. Monique had great communication and often sent us adorable photos of Mochi. 100% recommended!”

Alessandro M.

“It was such a relief to meet Christa! To find her such a lovely and responsible person, I could absolutely trust her with my dog. He’s quite a tough dog to handle with lots of precautions, but she was perfectly able to deal with him and fully respected all my rules with discipline. They got along very well, and I was impressed - especially it was my first time ever to leave my dog with a stranger. Christa was also easy to communicate with, responsive, sent me updates and was flexible. I will go exclusive from here on out!”

Nour S.

“Mukessh was fantastic! He took excellent care of Zuko for 6 days and left us feeling free and assured that our buddy was in good hands. Mukessh clearly enjoyed his time with Zuko... and that's really the best judge of a great dog-sitter! We'll definitely keep Mukessh in mind next time we leave town and Zuko needs some dog-sitting.”

Daniel S.

“Fantastic support for our last minute booking for our precious Gemma. Ash has been responsive the whole time, and very caring. Gemma had a lovely stay, enjoying her walks and outings. Thank you so much!”

Katia B.

“Rosina took care of Chaku and Ziggy for 5 days. From the moment I dropped them off at her place, I felt confident I could trust her. I was totally right. The cats clearly had a good time. They looked very relaxed in the pictures she sent me during their stay at her place and they were totally fine when I picked them up. I'm very satisfied and I recommend Rosina 100%.”

Over: have over 25 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, starting from a very young age as I grew up in a home full of animals. Caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life, not just a job. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with all kinds of personalities and needs,from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive approach. I understand how to adapt my care to each animal so they feel safe, respected, and comfortable. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, which allowed me to deepen my understanding of animal behavior, especially with more sensitive or anxious pets. This experience helped me become very intuitive, patient, and attentive to subtle signs in animals. In addition, I am comfortable administering basic medications and providing general support for pets who may need a little extra care or attention. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and presence I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel at home, relaxed, and genuinely cared for, as if they were my own.

Over: I have taken care of my aunt‘s labrador retrievers multiple times while my aunt was on vacation. I love to spend time with furry friends and help make their lives as fun as possible. :) I am a student and have a part time job. On weekends and at nights during the week, I would able to take care of your dogs. I live in an apartment close to the city centre of Bussum. Being active in any way is something that I incorporate in my daily life, so going for long walks with your dog won’t be a problem at all!

“Ontzettend fijne oppas! Boele heeft een geweldige tijd gehad. Mylene kijkt echt goed naar onze hond en ziet wat hij nodig heeft of checkt bij ons. Zodat Boele zich optimaal op zijn gemak voelt. De 2e keer (na de proefdag) liepen we haar straat binnen en ging hij al kwispelend voor haar deur zitten. Nou dat zegt genoeg!!”

Over: As a lifelong cat lover, I’m comfortable with all types of personalities, from cuddly lap cats to independent ones. I’m attentive to subtle behaviour shifts, and I’m great at building trust, even with shy cats. I maintain clean litter boxes, ensure feeding routines are followed exactly, and provide affection and play time (on their terms!)

Over: Ik neem de tijd om het gedrag en voorkeuren van jouw huisdier te leren kennen en stem de wandelingen en oppasmomenten daarop af. Baasjes kunnen rekenen op duidelijke communicatie en regelmatige updates, zodat je altijd met een gerust hart weet hoe het met je maatje gaat. Met mijn enthousiasme, geduld en liefde voor dieren zorg ik voor een veilige én leuke ervaring, elke keer opnieuw. Momenteel heb ik een flexibel leven, ik heb weinig tot geen vaste verplichtingen gedurende de week. Wegens meerdere enkeloperaties heb ik afscheid moeten nemen van mijn hockeycarriere en dus vaste verplichtingen gedurende de avonden en weekenden. Wel werk ik fulltime maar is de mogelijkheid daar om thuis te werken. Voor mijn werk moet ik af en toe wel eens naar een klant of kantoor, het kan dus voorkomen dat het huisdier een ochtend of middag alleen is. Ik zorg voor genoeg aandacht, speeltijd en knuffels, maar ook voor rust wanneer dat nodig is. Uiteraard let ik goed op voeding, water en eventuele speciale verzorging die belangrijk is voor jouw huisdier. Jouw viervoeter krijgt bij mij de zorg en liefde alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is.

Over: Ik zorg al voor allerlei soorten katten sinds mijn tiende. Mijn buren, vrienden en familie vertrouwen erop dat ik op hun huisdieren pas, ze voer en ermee speel... 25 woorden zoals

Over: As a dedicated cat lover, I provide personalized care for your furry friend while you're away. From administering medications to deep-cleaning litter trays, I ensure your cat is comfortable, happy, and well-cared for. I’m experienced with cats of all personalities and will make sure your pet feels loved and safe until you return.

Over: I've taken care of cats of every kind. Friends, Neighbours, and family have relied on me to take care of their cats. I love to play with cats and feed them.

Over: Never had cats in my family house (mum is allergic) but I’ve lived with my boyfriend with his beautiful 3 female cats. Don’t chase them and they will cuddle you. Softest animal in the world.

Over: Hi lovely dog owners! I am a 35 year old & currently studying online to become a breathwork meditation teacher so I have a lot of free time! I would be very happy to dogsit and offer some dog walks to help anyone I can around me. I love animals and grew up in a house with cats. Many years after leaving the nest and my beloved cats, I finally got my adorable sweet little cat Luna and later on Hope, a border lab mix. They are currently with my parents in France! Every time I see a dog on the street, my heart literally just melts and I want to give them all my love! I have taken care of family's and friends' dogs & petsitted & housesitted many times before through different platforms, I can show you more reviews if you wish! If you feel like you want to make someone truly happy when you are once busy or go on holiday, please do not hesitate to contact me! If time allows we can first meet and see how the connection is between your pet and me and if you think it can work, I would be delighted! I am really looking forward to meeting you! I currently study online to become a breathwork meditation teacher so I have lots of free time for walks & love to go to your pets! I am very mindful of people’s places & I think it’s important for the dog to stay in its usual habitat when owners go on holiday (my dog agrees on that!)

Over: Hallo! I’m a native English speaker and just moved from a Germany to the Netherlands- I’ll be updating my profile to English. Mein Name ist Kristina. Ich bin mit Hunden und Katzen aufgewachsen. Ich habe mich mein ganzes Leben lang um Tiere gekümmert. Ich habe mit Mitbewohnern gelebt, die Hunde aller Größen und Rassen haben. Kürzlich habe ich mich zehn Tage lang um einen schwarzen Labradorwelpen und eine Katze gekümmert und mich drei Wochen lang um einen Labradoodle gekümmert. Ich liebe es, mit Hunden spazieren zu gehen und mich um sie zu kümmern. Zu meinen weiteren Interessen gehören Reisen, Kochen und das Zusammensein mit Familie und Freunden. Ich bin eine sehr ehrliche und vertrauenswürdige Person. Als ehemaliger Berater in Schulen ist es wichtig, dass ich diese Qualitäten habe. Die Arbeit mit Kindern erfordert Liebe, Geduld und Freundlichkeit. Das Gleiche gilt für Tiere. Ich habe mich um viele Katzen- und Hunderassen gekümmert. Ich freue mich darauf, von Ihnen zu hören und Ihnen bei der Betreuung Ihrer Haustiere zu helfen! Ich habe viel Zeit und bin flexibel. Da ich abends in einem Restaurant arbeite und mein Partner tagsüber arbeitet, erhalten die von uns betreuten Haustiere 24 Stunden Aufmerksamkeit und Pflege. Ich stelle gerne mein Zuhause zur Verfügung - eine geräumige Wohnung in der Nähe eines Parks - oder komme zu Ihnen nach Hause. Ich habe bei Leuten zu Hause übernachtet und mich um Haustiere gekümmert. Haustiere sind auch zu mir nach Hause gekommen.

Over: As someone who grew up with pets, I’ve always had a soft spot for cats. Their unique personalities, playful antics, and cozy companionship make them truly special. Whether your cat is an independent adventurer, a little shy, or a cuddly lap companion, I’ll make sure they’re cared for with patience, love, and attention to their needs. From feeding and litter maintenance to playtime and gentle cuddles (if they’re up for it!), I’m here to keep your feline friend happy and relaxed while you’re away. Let’s make sure your cat gets the purr-fect care they deserve!

Actually Im working at home and your pet will be all time with me, I have enough time to walk in the park, play with them. Also we can spend time in the garden while I'm working so they won't be never bored. I will be all the time next to them, the garden and house is 100% save and always they will be on the lead if we are outside or open places. U will receive pics and videos whenever u need it.

Over: I am obsessed with dogs particularly rescues. I rescued my tripaw Odin 14 years ago from a river in Spain. I travelled the world with him (25+ countries) and trained him to be the best companion. He sadly passed in November 2025. I rescued Nuri two years ago and she is the happiest bundle of joy. She is just full of love and happiness. We look forward to welcome your lovely furr babies into our amazing home. I am self employed with my own companies. I work from home and I train every day but i own my schedule. The dogs are always with me, or if they are left at home it's only for a few hours where they can relax on the ultra comfy sofas. I have a very big fenced garden and huge comfy sofas. I live out of the city but easily accessible. I have two dogs in the house. One senior and one young.

Over: I've taken care of cats for 11 years, and can care for senior/sick cats too! Having grown up with two cats at home, I am used to feeding, grooming, toilet-training, medication-giving, and other tasks catering cats from babies to elderlies. I have two cats back in my hometown, but in my current place of residence (where your cats will be hosted if you request boarding), there are no pets. So feel free to request boarding even if your pet is shy! I'm currently between jobs, so I am home almost fulltime other than a few hours out a day. Therefore I can pay full attention and love for your cats if necessary. If your pets need vitamins or medications, I am comfortable and experienced with mixing it into their food or feeding them directly. I can tend to all of their needs, so feel free to detail your cat's personalities and preferences!

Over: I have a close relationship with my dog back home and now looking forward to take care or spend my time with some pets away from home. Love to take them for walks and overnight care. It is important for me to know there routines and behaviour for the best care I can give. I have a Labrador that is 8 years’ old he is hyperactive and I have been able to understand dog behaviours and needs to keep them happy. I have walked pets earlier too of different age and sizes. I'm mostly available on the weekends and evenings with flexible timings. Timings can be spoken based on the need and some days, I can also make it in weekdays and work while taking care of your pet. I have an decent sized apartment and wouldn't mind the pet going around the house and use my furniture's to chill if they are used to doing that. I will do my best to make them feel like home when I have them over at mine.

“Mylene accepted my booking at very short notice and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. She looked after Bertie so beautifully – lovely walks, plenty of playtime and lots of attention throughout the day. What meant the most was seeing how relaxed he was when I collected him… he’d even ended up asleep on her knee by the end of the day. It truly felt like a home from home for him. I would highly recommend Mylene to anyone looking for kind, reliable and genuinely caring doggy day care.”

Over: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners that I met in the city or at surrounding walking spots. During my time in Utrecht, I also worked for a local hondenuitlaat service, which gave me experience with a lot of common (and some less common) Dutch breeds. A few years later, I am now living in Amsterdam, working full-time with dogs at a fantastic farm facility outside of the city, and finishing up my Master's degree. Do I sound like the right fit for you and your dog? Drop me a message and we can arrange an initial meeting to get to know each other better! (Multiple positive references available upon request). I work a few days a week at a dog daycare organisation on a rural farmland property outside of Amsterdam. On my working days, if I am looking after a dog, I like to bring them with me so that they can socialise with the pack. All transport is done using a fully converted, dog-friendly wagon with additional AC (and lots of cookies!). If a dog needs to be left alone or doesn't get along with other dogs, this can also be easily accommodated during the day in a safe, penned-off area at the facility. On my days off, I am entirely flexible and work from home while finishing my Master's thesis, making my routine highly compatible with dedicated pet care. I live with my girlfriend in a large, multi-room apartment in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The location is convenient for dogs and humans alike, being just a short walk from several metro stations and with easy drop-off outside via street access. We are lucky to be located just a stone's throw away from Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark, with the Amstel and the Amsterdamse Bos close by, providing some wonderful green spaces right on our doorstep for daily walks. Our apartment has two balconies (one of which gets the sun all day long ☀️☀️☀️) and plenty of comfy space inside for dogs to relax. All my dog guests get an entire room to themselves to ensure they have their own quiet and safe space to rest—unless, of course, they prefer to cuddle up with us on the sofa or in bed... Because of my professional background managing packs, safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities, whether looking after a pet in my home or yours.

Over: **Note:** The app may apply significant additional charges for extra pets, so please don't be alarmed by that. Typically, and depending on demands, I ask for the same amount whether there is one or two pets in a household. Just reach out, and we can sort it all out together. Hi there! My name is Vanessa, and I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past six years as a Brazilian expat. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many furry friends, which has brought so much joy and fulfillment to my life. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior pet, I genuinely love getting to know their unique personalities and providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I have a deep understanding of how important pets are to their families—they’re not just animals; they’re cherished members of the household. I understand the importance of trust and compassion, especially when it comes to leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care. With this in mind, I approach every pet care opportunity with warmth, responsibility, and the goal of creating a safe, loving environment for them while you’re away. I’m here to ensure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for, giving you peace of mind during your time apart. Choosing me as your sitter doesn’t just mean your pet gets excellent care—it also means supporting a dedicated pet lover who genuinely values the connection this work brings. A few details about my services: • I’m happy to provide house-sitting and pet care anywhere reasonably easy to access by public transport. • Travel costs are not included in the price, and I’m open to discussing rates based on the number of pets and specific needs. • For dog walking and drop-in visits, I offer my services locally in my area, where I can easily travel by bike. • I’d love to meet you and your pet beforehand to make sure it’s a great match. For meet-ups outside my area, I kindly ask that travel costs are covered in advance. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your furry companion, I’d love to meet you both! Let’s chat and make sure it’s the perfect fit. I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Vanessa Pet care is my main focus, and I’ve built my schedule around providing attentive and reliable care for pets. Aside from my Dutch classes, my time is dedicated to ensuring every pet I care for gets the love and attention they need. This flexibility allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and ensure their happiness while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In your home, I ensure the environment is kept clean, secure, and comfortable for your pet, respecting their routine and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and care to make them feel safe and loved. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s maintaining a calm, familiar atmosphere or adapting to a pet’s unique needs, I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would for my own.

Over: “I love animals and I am a responsible, caring and calm person who truly enjoys taking good care of dogs. I am punctual, trustworthy and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I am new to professional pet sitting, but I have personal experience taking care of dogs from family and friends. This has taught me to be patient, attentive and responsible. I also have a small dog at home. She is friendly, calm and fully vaccinated, which has helped me better understand dogs and their needs. I am very used to living with pets and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to provide the best care possible. I enjoy long walks, playing, and spending time with dogs. I am available in Zaandam and Amsterdam and I am motivated to learn and grow while providing loving and reliable care.” I am a student and I study English for about three hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After my classes, I am fully available and flexible for pet care during the rest of the day and week. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily include walks and care in my daily routine. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. At home, I have a friendly dog, and I am used to caring for animals responsibly. My house has a garden, but it is not fenced, so I only allow outdoor time under supervision or I go for regular walks instead. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and supervised at all times. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and providing them with attention, exercise and care.

Over: /NEDERLANDS Ik ben opgegroeid met dieren en heb door de jaren heen voor allerlei huisdieren gezorgd, waaronder katten, honden, papegaaien, vissen en konijnen. Daarnaast heb ik jarenlang paardgereden. Op latere leeftijd heb ik meer dan 10 jaar mijn eigen agapornissen gehad (lovebirds), waardoor ik veel ervaring heb opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, verantwoordelijkheid en het begrijpen van de behoeften van een huisdier. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen huisdieren meer en ik merk dat ik het gezelschap van dieren erg mis. Daarom vind ik oppassen op huisdieren zo leuk. Regelmatig pas ik op de dieren van familie en vrienden, en ik geniet er echt van om tijd met dieren door te brengen. Of jouw huisdier nu houdt van lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon een vertrouwd gezicht in huis, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt! /ENGLISH I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for many different pets over the years, including cats, dogs, parrots, fish, and rabbits. I also spent many years horse riding. Later in life, I had my own lovebirds (agapornis parrots) for more than 10 years, which gave me plenty of experience with daily pet care, responsibility, and understanding the needs of animals. At the moment, I don't have any pets of my own anymore, and I really miss having animals around. That's one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much. I regularly look after pets for family and friends, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. /NEDERLANDS Ik werk 36 uur per week en werk 2 à 3 dagen vanuit huis. De dagen die als beschikbaar staan aangegeven op mijn profiel zijn de dagen waarop ik thuiswerk. Omdat mijn werk vrij flexibel is, heb ik gedurende de dag genoeg tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, eten geven en natuurlijk veel aandacht en knuffels voor jouw huisdier. In de weekenden heb ik alle tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan de verzorging en het gezelschap van jouw huisdier. Jouw huisdier zal nooit tekortkomen aan aandacht, beweging, liefde en een fijne omgeving :) /ENGLISH I work a 36-hour week and work from home 2–3 days during the week. The days marked as available on my profile are the days I work from home. Because my job is quite flexible, I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course giving your pet lots of attention and affection. During weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pet's care and company. Your pet will never be short on attention, cuddles, or exercise while staying with us :) /NEDERLANDS Ik woon in een modern nieuwbouwappartement in een rustige omgeving. Mijn woning is schoon, veilig en comfortabel, met een ruim stenen balkon dat volledig is afgesloten met glazen wanden, waardoor huisdieren veilig kunnen genieten van frisse lucht en zon. /ENGELS I live in a modern, newly built apartment in a quiet area. My home is clean, safe, and comfortable, with a spacious stone balcony enclosed by glass panels where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

“Me quedo muy satisfecho y contento con Maria Ángeles, cuido de mi 🐶 perfectamente, me mandó fotos y videos haciéndome ver que mi perrito 🐕 estaba muy bien con ella,volvería a repetir con Maria Ángeles seguro.gracias.”

“Kon op voorhand een keer met Onyx langskomen om te kijken. Onyx voelde zich direct op zijn gemak en Guusje kon goed met hem overweg. Alles is volgens afspraak verlopen.”

“Maartje is an amazing dog sitter! Our dog, Chili stayed with her for 11 days. Within this period, she took her for long walks in a very pretty part of Amsterdam and did a great job with consistently putting her foot brace on during the outdoor time for our slightly disabled dog. Moreover, she also regularly updated us with photos during our holiday. I feel confident in recommending Maartje to any dog owner!”

“Sam took care of Sadie for 5 days and she did a wonderful job at it! She is a very friendly, approachable person, with a relaxed attitude. She sent me lots of pics and video's so that I could enjoy my holidays without worrying. Her two dogs were also very nice company for mine. The house and garden are a perfect environment for dogs! She communicates very well and consulted me when she wasn't sure about how to treat a situation. I would definitely recommend her and will most probably make use of her service in the future. Thank you Sam!”

“This was the first time we use the services and I must say we are 100% satisfied. We left our babies and I felt like the most nervous mother who just left her children for the first time at pre school. I was nervous and emotional. Vatsala was amazing. We got updates and photos. Vatsala has been patient and answered all our questions. She has helped us feel comfortable knowing our babies are well cared for. If you are looking for a sitter Vatsala is the best you could ever get”

Over: Na mijn persoonlijke reis met mijn puppy die ik heb grootgebracht en getraind ben ik mijn liefde voor honden en andere dieren alleen maar meer gaan waarderen. Door mijn eigen ervaringen heb ik geleerd hoeveel rust, vertrouwen en geluk dieren kunnen brengen. Ik bied honden en katten een warm en liefdevol thuis in mijn fijne huis, omringd door natuur. Met rust, aandacht en fijne wandelingen midden in de natuur, langs bossen, vijvers en de duinen. In mijn grote afgesloten tuin en speciaal ingerichte kamer kunnen zij veilig ontspannen, spelen en genieten van alle aandacht die zij nodig hebben. Ik vind het belangrijk dat dieren zich veilig, rustig en vertrouwd voelen. Daarom kijk ik goed naar hun behoeften en geef ik ieder dier persoonlijke aandacht. De aanwezigheid van honden mis ik enorm en daarom geef ik honden en katten met veel liefde, geduld en aandacht een warm thuis. Missschien tot snel! 😊 Ik werk voornamelijk vanuit huis, waardoor de verzorging van huisdieren perfect in mijn dagelijkse routine past. Mijn dagen kan ik flexibel indelen zodat er voldoende tijd is voor uitlaten, spelen, rustmomenten en persoonlijke aandacht. Daarnaast maak ik graag wandelingen in de dichtbijgelegen bossen en prachtige duinen, zodat honden voldoende beweging, frisse lucht en ontspanning krijgen. Ik verzorg huisdieren in een rustige, veilige en huiselijke omgeving met veel persoonlijke aandacht. In mijn ruime huis en omheinde tuin kunnen honden vrij rennen, spelen en ontspannen. Daarnaast heb ik twee aparte kamers ingericht: één voor honden met matten en speeltjes, en één voor katten met een speel- en klimhoek waar zij zich veilig kunnen terugtrekken. Meerdere keren per dag maken we fijne wandelingen en tussendoor zijn er voldoende rustmomenten, zodat dieren zich ontspannen en vertrouwd kunnen voelen.

“Monique is an amazing sitter! We felt totally at ease knowing Mochi was being looked after her. Monique had great communication and often sent us adorable photos of Mochi. 100% recommended!”

“It was such a relief to meet Christa! To find her such a lovely and responsible person, I could absolutely trust her with my dog. He’s quite a tough dog to handle with lots of precautions, but she was perfectly able to deal with him and fully respected all my rules with discipline. They got along very well, and I was impressed - especially it was my first time ever to leave my dog with a stranger. Christa was also easy to communicate with, responsive, sent me updates and was flexible. I will go exclusive from here on out!”

Nour S.

“Fantastic support for our last minute booking for our precious Gemma. Ash has been responsive the whole time, and very caring. Gemma had a lovely stay, enjoying her walks and outings. Thank you so much!”

Over: I have taken care of my aunt‘s labrador retrievers multiple times while my aunt was on vacation. I love to spend time with furry friends and help make their lives as fun as possible. :) I am a student and have a part time job. On weekends and at nights during the week, I would able to take care of your dogs. I live in an apartment close to the city centre of Bussum. Being active in any way is something that I incorporate in my daily life, so going for long walks with your dog won’t be a problem at all!

“Ontzettend fijne oppas! Boele heeft een geweldige tijd gehad. Mylene kijkt echt goed naar onze hond en ziet wat hij nodig heeft of checkt bij ons. Zodat Boele zich optimaal op zijn gemak voelt. De 2e keer (na de proefdag) liepen we haar straat binnen en ging hij al kwispelend voor haar deur zitten. Nou dat zegt genoeg!!”
