Hondenopvang in Ouder-Amstel

Over: I have owned 5 dogs in my life, 27 years of non-stop dog company which has given me 10-12 years of solid pet care experience. I am the go-to pet-sitter for my friends and family whenever they’ve needed it. I adore dogs and cats, so getting to pet sit has been a dream! I live in a spacious ground floor apartment near Vondelpark, which is the best for dog walks and ball-throwing! I would love to meet your dog before we decide to go ahead with the pet-sitting, and discuss your pet’s needs. Note: I do not have a litter box for cats here, but if you are able to provide one then I can sit your cat! I work from home so I am usually always available to take pets and have them in my home! I have 1 dog, a toy Aussie, and she loves having company in the house. I live right by a park, so the dogs will have lots of fun with me! I have a dog to keep your pets company, I take them to the park for walks and play time, I have a nice spacious apartment for them to relax in.

Over: I’ve had dogs my entire life, a total of 4, who are no longer with me 🥲. They are my passion and represent a unique kind of love in this world. I have adopted several dogs that had been abused and have experience with dogs that are fearful or display aggressive behavior, so that would not be a problem. I will treat them as a member of the family and take them with me wherever I go; that is my way of loving them: spending as much time as possible with them, since, unfortunately, they are here for less time than we are. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and happy at all times. I ‘m artist , which allows me to be home most of the time and have a flexible schedule. I would love to spend my working hours keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We live in an apartment of about 50 m², but right below our home we have a large garden. I usually take long two-hour walks for exercise, and your dog will always come with me wherever I go.

“Marta is swift in communication, not only during the day care but also before. She asked for a meet & greet before taking the job which I find very professional and attentive. She asked the dogs schedule regarding food, walks etc. During the day care Marta updated me with Teddy whereabouts and asked whether some behavior is irregular or not. Marta and Philip even rescheduled their evening since I need them till later than anticipated. Definitely recommend her!”

Over: Dog lover with 12 years of experience. Skilled in walking, feeding, playtime, and making dogs feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs :) I’m currently working full-time but I’m flexible with working location and I can work from home during the week. I can take care of pets full-time by working from home and also happy to take care of pups during the weekends :) I live in an apartment that has a big living room, a couple of rooms and a balcony. There is an open garden but I would only take dogs out on a leash.

Over: I used to have an english sheepdog since I was a child and that was when my love for dogs started. I have also helped babysit a sausage dog in Amsterdam for the past year. I make sure they always feel cared for, comfortable , fed, and frequently taken on a walk. I am current a student at HvA but have plenty of time to pet sit since I have classes online. I have really flexible schedule throughout the whole week. I leave in a flat and there is nothing unsafe for a pet in my place. I always make sure the house is well cleaned and organised.

Over: I’ve spent the past three years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as many cats and smaller pets. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, including those requiring medication or special care. My background also includes volunteering at an animal shelter, working with rescue animals, and years of experience around horses and exotic pets like reptiles and rodents, so I’m confident handling a wide range of temperaments and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, loved, and respected. I work from home full-time, so I can give plenty of attention and flexibility throughout the day. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, loved, and respected. I work from home full-time, so I can give plenty of attention and flexibility throughout the day. I currently work a flexible part-time job, which allows me to easily adjust my schedule around pet sittings. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can arrange time off whenever needed to make sure each pet gets my full attention and care. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I make sure it fits smoothly into both my routine and your pet’s. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their usual routines closely: feeding times, walks, sleeping spots, and any specific rules you set. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, so they feel safe and relaxed even while you’re away. I keep the environment clean, calm, and consistent, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure. I also send regular updates with photos or messages, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy and cared for.

Over: I have been caring for dogs and cats with love and responsibility for over 18 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I have experience with energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. My focus is always on giving each pet the individual attention they deserve, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved — just like my own I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide constant care and attention to pets. I’m active, so regular walks, playtime, and exercise are part of my daily routine. I don’t have pets of my own, which allows me to fully focus on your furry friend. I have one secure balcony where pets can enjoy fresh air depending on their size, and there is a lovely park nearby for daily walks and playtime.

Over: Hi! I have taken care of different cats and dogs for five years, including cat sitting experience for more than 3 months in my apartment. I am a post-doc researcher who works with flexible hours and therefore available for taking care of your pets during both working and non-working hours. I live in an apartment without any pets of my own currently. I have hosted cats and dogs before. I am also flexible in terms of pet sitting at your place or simply walking the dogs :).

Over: My whole life I had been surrounded by dogs, and after moving to Amsterdam I miss this part of my life. I have a range of experience in different characters, breeds and sizes as I had 4 dogs in my life. My first one (golden retriever) was my first best friend, calm friendly and patient. Then when I was 5 as a family we decided to get another one a (west highland terrier) and individualistic character, very bossy but loving. Due to the passing of our Golden girl my father who fostered my love for dogs decided to expand our family by a border collie (the framer breed) and then another one which you can see on the picture (he is a competition breed). One more charismatic fast and demanding the other social, clingy and always happy. I believe I have the experience of the owner and skills to understand the needs of your pet best friend and keep them company providing some fun, understanding and responsibility. Becuase I grew up with dogs my whole life (3 at one time at different ages) I mastered time planning and putting the needs of my pet best friends first, and I do it with a smile on my face! I think each dog requires personal approach and based on your preferences in terms of walk duration, food, play time ect I would be happy to adjust around it. I don’t have any pets in my apartment and plenty of room for your pet best friend to play and feel comfortable in the space. My goal is to provide him a second home when he’s away from you:)

“Lesley is excellent and I highly recommend her!”

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.

Over: I’ve always had big dogs in my life, I have two amazing adopted mixes (German Shepherd and Labrador) back home in France. I’ve cared for them for weeks at a time, helped train them from puppies, and taught them plenty of tricks , now both lovely, smart, loving, and full of energy. I’ve also fostered dogs for several weeks, including some with injuries or on medication, so I’m comfortable giving special care when needed. I’ve even done a bit of cat-sitting along the way, last time was this summer over several weeks. As well worked as an intern in a veterinarian clinic for almost 2 months, taught me a lot of first aid and symptoms from animals. I love taking dogs on long walks, and keeping them entertained at home. I would love discovering new corners of Amsterdam’s parks together. Finally, I’m trilingual (and learning Dutch too) and truly see animals as family, always been a very important part of my life ! I’m a university student with a pretty flexible schedule and limited class hours during the week, which means I spend a lot of time at home studying. That lets me be very reliable for pet care .I can give plenty of attention, walks, and company throughout the day. I live close to a huge park and absolutely love going on long walks, usually one to two hours at a time, discovering new areas of Amsterdam. Because I study from home, I’m rarely away for more than a few hours, so pets are never left alone for long. My place is also quite central, giving me easy access to most parts of the city, and I’m available for walks or check-ins almost any day of the week. Taking care of animals fits naturally into my routine and always brings a bit of calm and joy to my day. When I care for pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I love spending time playing with them, feeding them properly, and keeping them active with walks and training. In my apartment, there’s no way for animals to escape, and I make sure they get regular walks every 3–4 hours with plenty of potty breaks. Its also possible to bring a crate in, if the owners wants that. When I’m walking a dog or visiting someone’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, every pet has their own routine and personality. I keep a close eye on them at all times and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a dog or a cat, I see them as family and take my responsibility for their well-being seriously.

Over: I grew up caring for strays and family pets in Istanbul and was the primary caregiver for our two dogs from puppyhood. I’ve raised, trained, and loved them for years. One now a senior, so I know how to care for both puppies and older dogs. I’d love to share that same love and experience with your furry friend. Pet care fits perfectly with my work-from-home schedule as an online psychologist, and I’d love a furry companion to keep me company, share cuddles, and brighten my days 🐶🧚🏻‍♀️ Mi casa es su casa for your dog! We also have a large roof terrace enclosed with tall fences, where we can play ball or just run around with your pet if the weather allows 🤞🏼☀️

“Ana took great care of our chihuahua and sent us cute picture and video updates throughout his stay. Binky looked very happy when we came to collect him, so he too appeared to enjoy his day! We would recommend Ana!”

Over: I have adopted three cats and raised them from just one month old to now four years old, and I’m proud that they are all healthy and happy. I love playing with pets and have great patience with animals. I follow a scientific approach to feeding and training, always making sure they maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. I have also helped friends take care of their cats many times while they were traveling or on business trips. I understand that kittens can feel nervous in a new environment, and I’m good at helping them relax and feel safe. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I’m flexible and available Monday to Wednesday, Thursday, and weekends to provide loving, responsible care. In my care, pets are always treated with safety and comfort as the first priority. At my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play and rest. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I make sure to follow all routines closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime, so pets feel secure and comfortable in a familiar setting. I also pay close attention to each animal’s personality and needs—whether that means giving extra cuddles, helping a shy kitten relax, or ensuring an energetic dog gets enough exercise. Owners can trust that their pets will be cared for responsibly, lovingly, and with respect.

“Hallo, gisteren is onze Labrador Cas bij Michelle geweest en wat een leuke vrouw is Michelle, de ervaring en behendigheid straalt van haar af. wij hebben dit (ik en Cas) als zeer fijn ervaren en we gaan dit bijna elke maandag doen op deze manier.”

Over: For as long as I can remember myself I have loved taking care of animals, and especially dogs. As an owner of two of them in my home country (Greece), I know how to treat pets with utmost care. I have special experience with both small and big dogs, but also with cats, so you can feel safe that no matter what your pet needs, I can create a very gezellig environment for them with lots of games, walks and hugs. I am a student, so apart from attending my classes, my schedule is flexible. During the weekends I have the most time available, but I would also be very happy to take care of your pet during weekdays! I am currently living in an apartment, in a quiet neighborhood with a dog park very nearby. I love spoiling pets with love, cuddles and compliments. So you can be sure that your pet will be in safe and loving hands!
