“Carolina was fantastic minding Mario! She came and picked him up and dropped him off. She was flexible and gave Mario all the attention! Was able to look after his medication and tend to his needs. Would highly recommend !”

Over: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family had three dogs over the years, and I looked after each one from puppy all the way to senior age, including all the extra care and patience that comes with an older dog. Most recently, I took care of a dog that needed daily medicine and treatment for a ripped paw pad, so I'm comfortable with health routines too, not just walks. I've also worked as a dog walker and sitter, and whether it's your dog or my own, I treat them all the same way: like family. As a freelancer, I mostly work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day. That means I can fit in walks, feedings, or check-ins at times that actually work for your schedule, not just early mornings or evenings. It also means I'm not rushing between appointments, so your dog or cat gets my full attention while I'm there. When pets stay with me, they have plenty of room to settle in. My apartment has a big, spacious living room and kitchen area, and I usually set up a cozy corner just for them so they always have a safe spot to retreat to, while still being free to roam and explore the rest of the apartment. I let them explore at their own pace and approach me when they're ready, rather than the other way around. I might try to make contact with a treat here and there, but I never force it if they're not comfortable yet. For walks, I'm lucky to live close to three parks, so there's always a good spot nearby to stretch their legs.

“Olivia & Caleb were fantastic sitters for my 1 yo Frenchie Stella! They sent frequent updates (including photos & videos!), and were quick to respond whenever I reached out. Stella came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend them!”

“Vidushi was amazing taking care of our Bea, really communicative and conscious of Bea’s arthritis and health problems. Bea really enjoyed her stay and we will definitely book again! Thank you Vi!”

“Oscar is such a kind and sweet person! He accepted my last minute request and helped me out so much! My dog IMMEDIATELY liked him as soon as we met, which is not always the case. And when he kindly dropped my dog off, my dog kept looking at him as he left and didn't even want to go inside because he already missed him. He also sent me many updates, pictures and videos and I felt at ease while I was away. A fantastic sitter and a person! Highly highly recommend his service:)) Thank you again!!! :)”

“Lada is the best dog sitter in Amsterdam! She agreed to watch my dog less than 12 hours in advance, and then agreed to meet me at the train station instead of me dropping off the dog at her place, which shows how kind and thoughtful and helpful she is!!! The weekend that my dog spent at her place was amazing too. I got updates 5+ times per week, with pictures of my dog, my dog was walked for multiple hours a day, she was allowed everywhere in the house; and Lada was veryyyy attentive to her needs and always checked in with me on what she could do extra. She even invited me for tea after the dog stay. I genuinely couldn’t recommend her more, i’d trust her to watch my dog anytime!”

“Amanda and her partner Marinna are fantastic. They took such great care of Charlie while we were away for 5 nights. They kept us updated with photos, and we could see that Charlie felt really comfortable with them. Charlie is reactive toward intact male dogs which can sometimes worry us when he is with new sitters. However, Amanda and Marinna assured us that they are familiar with reactivity, and they indeed seemed to manage just fine. Knowing he was in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable 🙂 Thank you!!”

“As always, Kevin was amazing taking care of Lusia. Knowing she’s in safe hands and being spoiled to bits by Kevin is reassuring and enables us to enjoy our holidays without her. When unforeseen things happens (ahem, I forgot to provide enough food…) Kevin is proactive and helps out. I have only good things to say about Kevin and his professionalism. 🙏”

Christian T.

“Mijn hondje heeft het super fijn gehad bij Christiane. Ze hield me op de hoogte met leuke updates en foto's. Wolfje mocht zelfs bij haar in bed slapen en heeft lekker in het park gewandeld. De tijd van zijn leven :-)”

Femke V.

“Anastasia was very sweet for my dog. She communicates well and gives many updates. Her own dog is super sweet and good company! Chef came back happy and relaxed!”

Bette W.

“Anja is lovely and was very understanding of Berry's nervousness to begin with and made her very comfortable. Definitely recommend!”

Megan B.

“Rick had a lovely time with Paulien, and it felt like a real vacation for him! She was very caring and attentive to his anxiety, followed all his routines (and played a lot), and sent updates that really helped reduce my own anxiety. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Thank you very much and more ✨”

Ju K.

“Shaima and Simba are the BEST. Ginger felt immediately at home. Safe and cuddled. I received so many amazing updates & pictures through her care. It was really lovely. I highly recommend Shaima!! Such a great dog mommy!!!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Jacquelynn K.

“Anna was such a lovely person and treated our cat Scourge with love, care and respect. We received updates, photos and videos regularly. Overall, she made sure that not only we had a nice vacation, but our cat as well! :)”

Over: I've been around dogs my whole life. My family's first was a Jack Russell Terrier, followed by a Bichon, and my sister has two Bichons of her own. Dogs have always been part of my day to day, so I'm completely at ease minding them and making sure they feel safe and well cared for. This year, my partner and I adopted Nori, a lil Iggy. Raising him from a pup has sharpened my hands-on ownership skills. Everything from house-training to managing his wild personality. He's energetic, and always up for making a new friend, so if your dog enjoys company, he'll make a good pal. Italian Greyhounds are renowned for being clingy so I'm well used to giving a dog my full attention throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. If they need someone around consistently I think I’d be a good fit Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home full-time. Mornings start with a walk, often down to Sarphatipark, followed by regular breaks throughout the day for toilet, play, and outdoor time. Evenings bring a longer walk. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches; consistent attention is just part of how my days already run. I follow each dog's normal routine - feeding, walks, meds, wherever we are. At home, they join Nori and me around the flat. Never left alone for long. I also live with my partner Abbie who's just a trustworthy and similar lover of dogs so there will always be 4 eyes on your pet :)

“Cong took so much care to look after Emilio 🐶 He went on walks to the forest, parks and even socializing with her friends. He was completely spoilt with a lots of play time, cuddles and attention! We also received many photos and videos. We will for sure be booking Cong again 😊”

“Onze hond was super happy om bij Marlies & haar gezin te verblijven - we kregen elke dag leuke fotos van de wandelingen en avonturen van Anouschka, en ze zag er helemaal top uit toe we ze gingen ophalen!”

Over: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playing, keeping them company, and most importantly, giving them lots of love. I went to med school and my medical background has taught me to be responsible, caring, and calm in different situations. I’m patient, attentive and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and give them the attention they need. I work from home and not much, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to spend plenty of time with your pet. I can easily adapt my home if your pet has any special needs or requests. I live with my boyfriend, who loves animals even more than I do! He goes to the office every day, so I’m home alone during the day — soon, hopefully, with your pet! 💞

Over: [english below] Hoi, ik ben Hanna! Wonend in Amsterdam Oost, vlakbij Amstelstation (goed bereikbaar met zowel OV als ook auto + lift aanwezig in het gebouw). Ik ben opgegroeid met katten, een hond dat uit een asiel is geadopteerd (labrador x stabij) en daarna een border collie x australian shepherd. Zelf heb ik ook kort voor een rescue gezorgd, helaas is deze niet meer bij mij. Ik zou daarom graag weer vaker op honden passen. Wandelen en hardlopen doe ik in m'n vrije tijd al best veel of graag, maar liever samen met een hond (hardlopen met de hond zou in overleg zijn / afhankelijk van of de hond daar behoefte aan heeft). Ik vind het ook heel leuk om te helpen met het trainen, te begeleiden bij hersenwerkjes/puzzels etc. Ik plan graag een kennismaking met jou en je hond(en) in om alles te bespreken. Een proef dag, middag, of overnachting is ook altijd mogelijk. Ik heb tevens (niet in die zin gekwalificeerd of professioneel, maar wel persoonlijke) ervaring met de wat ‘lastigere’ honden en deze zijn in principe en vooral in overleg ook welkom. Het aannemen van meerdere honden van verschillende baasjes gedurende dezelfde periode zal altijd in overleg zijn en ik heb zelf ook de voorkeur om de honden vooraf met elkaar kennis te laten maken. Hi, my name is Hanna! Living in the east of Amsterdam, near Amstelstation (so easy to reach by both public transport and car + there’s an elevator available in the building). I grew up with cats and dogs, and also have looked after a rescue dog for a while who sadly is not with me anymore. I'm excited to look after dogs again more often. I also really enjoy teaching dogs new things or guiding them with puzzles, brainwork etc. I’m looking forward to plan a meet and greet with you and your dog(s) to discuss whatever is necessary. A trial day or night is also always possible. I also have some experience (not in that sense qualified or professional, but personal experience) with behaviourally challenged dogs, which are also welcome but that obviously would require a discussion to see how and what the dog needs / to what extent. Accepting multiple dogs from different owners during the same period will only happen in discussion with the owners and will require a meeting between the dogs beforehand. I’m currently in the process of making this my full time job, so I’m home pretty much full time (besides for groceries and an occasional appointment obviously). So if you have a dog that needs a bit more active supervision or can’t stay alone yet or for not that long, I basically have all the time and presence your pet needs. I live in an apartment that’s decently sound-proof. There’s an elevator present in the building. I have 2 crates set up and also a fence throughout my place, so if needed I can keep the dogs separated when I have multiple dogs. At the moment the max I can keep at once would be 3, but that does take some extra consideration if they do go together if it’s the case they are dogs from different owners. Having 2 together would be more common than 3. Doors of the crates are generally open during the day, so if your dog isn’t crate trained (yet), that’s fine. Sadly I don’t have a garden, but I do have time, so I also like to just be outside with your dog as if we’re hanging out in a garden (I have multiple long leashes as well, so they can also do then do their thing in a safe manner if it’s not in a fenced area).
