Hondenopvang in Ouder-Amstel

“We couldn’t be happier with Naroa ! She took such wonderful care of our dog, making sure she was loved, safe, and happy. We had a few last-minute requests, and she handled them with ease and complete flexibility, going above and beyond to accommodate us. From regular updates to walks and playtime, she made sure our pup had the best care possible. Highly recommend Naroa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable pet sitter 🙏🏼”

Over: I've taken care of my family dog since I was 14, and later I got a beautiful cat named April. In the past years, I regularly sat with my friend's cats and dogs when they traveled, and helped with neighbors' pets too. I love and care deeply about pets and always take the best care of them, so you can be sure your pet will be in the best hands. I'm currently working part-time and working from home. My schedule is very flexible, and I am free on weekends. I can also stay overnight or on holidays if needed. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is safe and has enough space for both cats and dogs to play! I can also arrange a dedicated area for toys and sleep/bed.

“Maria is extraordinarily kind and communicative and took great care of my rescue Costa for the day. It’s obvious she provides a safe and stable place for dogs with difficulties because there were none despite Costa being in a brand new environment at her home. She kept me posted and is consistently polite and I can’t wait to trust her again with sitting my Costa.”

Over: I grew up with pets (dogs and rodents) and have taken care of pets practically my whole life. 5 years ago, I took a wonderful boy called Charlie home from the shelter (you can see him in all of my pictures). He was already a bit older, and I was lucky to have him by my side for 4.5 years until he sadly passed away last October. I have a big heart for animals, and therefore miss taking care of a hairy friend! I have experience with taking care of both small and larger dogs, as well as senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I recently started a PhD and am therefore not home during work days (mo-fr). This is why I currently am not in the position of adopting a dog myself, but would love to take care of dogs on the weekends when I am home. When taking care of a dog I adjust my routine to meet the needs of the dog. I try to suit the needs of the animal and respect their boundaries. If they prefer to be lazy or alone, I give them space, if they prefer interaction and play, I give them attention. I feed them and walk them as agreed with the owner.

Over: I love dogs more than humans, which is honestly why you want me watching yours. I don't treat this like a job or a chore I just like hanging out with them. On nice days, expect me to walk your dog to the park for well over an hour just to let them run around and explore. You can do your thing without feeling guilty, knowing your dog is getting all my attention. My schedule is pretty flexible and easy to work around. I usually handle walks in the mornings or early afternoons, but let me know what you need and we can make it work. I’m always happy to do a quick meet and greet with you and your dog before any official bookings just to make sure we’re all a great fit for each other. I also prefer to focus on one dog at a time, though I can take multiples upon request if they're from the same household.

Over: I work in Marketing & Communications and live in between 2 parks - Oosterpark and Frankendael park. I love walking, so your dog will always be entertained. I had 2 wonderful family members - a big poodle and a Coker spaniel, who lived happy long lives. As a dog sitter I provide care and safety for your pets, long walks and fun games, as well as maintaining discipline. I usually babysit the dogs of my friends and people I know and I’d like to do it for more owners and their fluffy kids:) I’d like your pet to be dropped off prior to 8am and to be picked up after 6pm on the weekdays. On a weekend the drop off and pick up are flexible. I take notes on the owners preferences and keep the dog’s usual routine to keep them away from stress. Depending on the dog’s personality, I can engage them in games and long walks or provide some space for them to be comfortable. I genially love dogs and do my best for them to enjoy the stay.

“Mayte was incredibly kind and patient with our dog, who was anxious at first. She helped her feel safe and comfortable, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated her care and communication and would happily trust her again.”

“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: I am Ann, a responsible, playful dog owner in Oud Zuid with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs. I have helped take care of special needs dogs in the past-our family dog was blind, and another dog is missing a limb....so I know how to care after the ones that need help the most. We have two rescued dogs, Soju and Sokka. We have a nice space with hardwood floors and a fenced yard. I plan on treating your dog as part of the family - giving them all the play time they need to be happy! I'm currently at home full time so your pup gets plenty of attention. The daily routine includes going to nearby parks (Vondel or Beatrix) and additional potty break walks around the neighborhood. I like to cater to the dogs needs and walking endurance. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. We have plenty of toys and treats. Please inform of any allergies or restrictions.

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.

“Vanesa took care of Mambo and Mambo had an amazing time! Mambo was completely relaxed during his stay with Vanesa, and he was calm and very happy when I picked him up. Vanesa told me how the day went and I noticed, based on what she told me, that she really took good care of Mambo while at home but also during walks. I definitely recommend Vanesa if you're in need of a nice and careful person to take care of your dog.”

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.

Over: Ik ben een echte dierenliefhebber! Helaas kan ik momenteel zelf niet adopteren omdat ik te veel reis. Dat vind ik ontzettend jammer, dus daarom lijkt het me heel leuk om af en toe op iemand anders z’n hondje te passen! Van huis uit heb ik altijd dieren gehad, waaronder een Duitse herder, een rottweiler en een Maltezer. Daardoor ben ik gewend aan verschillende karakters en behoeften. Daarnaast pas ik regelmatig op de hond van mijn zus, een rescue uit Spanje. Ik werk voor mezelf vanuit huis, waardoor ik veel aanwezig ben. Dat maakt mijn huis ook geschikt voor hondjes die niet zo graag lang alleen zijn. Ik houd zowel van korte als lange wandelingen en neem honden, afhankelijk van hun karakter, graag mee op pad. Natuurlijk is er thuis ook genoeg tijd om te spelen, knuffelen of gewoon lekker te ontspannen. Daarnaast heb ik een fijn tuintje waar honden lekker kunnen relaxen als het mooi weer is. Mensen omschrijven mij als rustig, warm en zorgzaam. Wat je van mij kunt verwachten? Veel liefde en aandacht voor je hond, regelmatige updates en foto’s, en de geruststelling dat je hond in goede handen is. Ik plan vooraf altijd graag even een kennismaking in, zodat we kunnen kijken of er een goede match is. Ik woon op 40 m² met een tuin. Voor hele grote honden is mijn woning daardoor waarschijnlijk minder geschikt. Goed om te weten: omdat ik op de begane grond woon, hoor je soms geluiden uit het trappenhuis. Daarom is mijn woning minder geschikt voor honden die erg waaks zijn of snel aanslaan bij geluiden. Voor vragen mag je altijd contact opnemen! 🐾 Ik werk voor mezelf vanuit huis en ben daardoor veel aanwezig. Huisdieren zijn dus zelden lang alleen. Mijn planning is flexibel en ik ben over het algemeen veel thuis, waardoor er genoeg tijd is voor wandelingen, speeltijd, rustmomenten en verzorging. Overdag stuur ik ook graag af en toe een update of foto, zodat je weet hoe het met je dier gaat. Ik woon op de begane grond aan een rustige, autovrije straat en heb tevens een volledig omheind tuintje waar honden lekker kunnen relaxen. Ik heb zelf geen honden of katten, waardoor jouw dier alle aandacht krijgt. Daarnaast is er veel groen in de buurt en zijn er verschillende parken op loopafstand.

“Georgina was so quick to respond and take care of my golden retriever for the day. I really recommend her, for her caring attitude.”

Over: /Nederlands hieronder/ * I love taking pics so I’ll be sharing lovely moments with you;) * I stay at home with my partner most of time so your loved ones won’t feel bored for sure! *Sitter Pick-up & Drop-off available Let’s get to know me: Hi, I’m Ting! I’m originally from Taiwan and moved to Amsterdam in 2022. I currently live with my Dutch partner in a one-bedroom cozy spacious apartment, and we both love animals! We work/study from home most of the time, so we’d love to have some furry company—and offer your dog a warm, calm environment with plenty of attention. Being a pet sitter lets me share my love for animals while giving them the care and companionship they need when you’re away. - *Ik maak graag foto’s, dus ik zal de leuke momenten met je delen ;) *Ik ben meestal thuis met mijn partner, dus je lieveling zal zich zeker niet vervelen! *Ophalen en terugbrengen door de oppas beschikbaar Even voorstellen: Hoi, ik ben Ting! Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Taiwan en ben in 2022 naar Amsterdam verhuisd. Ik woon samen met mijn Nederlandse partner in een gezellige en ruime eenkamerappartement, en we zijn allebei dol op dieren! We werken/studeren meestal vanuit huis, dus we vinden het heerlijk om gezelschap van een viervoeter te hebben—en bieden je hond een warme, rustige omgeving met veel aandacht. Als dierenoppas kan ik mijn liefde voor dieren delen en ze de zorg en het gezelschap geven die ze verdienen als jij er even niet bent. My partner and I are both students at the moment, so our schedules are very flexible and we spend most of our time at home studying or working on assignments. This means we have plenty of time to be with your fur baby and give them lots of attention, care, and companionship! We care for pets in a safe, calm, and clean environment, either in our home or the owner’s home. We follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets are always supervised during playtime and walks, never left alone for long. We also carefully follow any instructions from the owner to ensure the best care.

Over: Hi, I’m Ella! I’m 21 years old, originally from Denmark, grew up in Dubai, and currently a university student in Amsterdam. I’m a reliable and dedicated pet sitter with a genuine love for animals.

I grew up in a home where we always had two dogs at a time, four in total, which means being around dogs has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving abroad, I truly miss having dogs around, so pet sitting is something I value not just as a responsibility, but as something I genuinely enjoy.

I provide tailored care to your pet’s individual needs. Walks are adapted to your dog’s energy level, whether that means a longer, active walk or a more relaxed pace. During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and playtime while also respecting their routine and personal space.

I always follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific instructions closely to ensure peace of mind for you as an owner. I also love to keep you updated with messages and lots of photos during bookings, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for! 🥰 I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and always approach animals with patience, respect, and care. I stay attentive in all situations and prioritize your pet’s safety and wellbeing at all times (I have had an aggressive dog myself, so I know how to handle reactive dogs!) I’d love to take care of your furry family! 🐾 (My two dogs are at home with my family, so my apartment is animal free except for my lovely flatmate who also loves animals)❤️ I’m currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available almost every day, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a calm environment with easy access to a nearby open park, which is perfect for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’m attentive during walks and ensure dogs are kept safely on leash unless otherwise agreed. My goal is to create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your pet feels relaxed and well cared for.

Over: I’m Simone (26), Amsterdam local studying at the University of Amsterdam. I’m only at uni about five hours a week, so I’m home most of the day. 😊 My partner Sam (26) is from England and is working on his PhD. He works from home most days. This means your pet will almost always have one of us around! Sam grew up with a Labrador and cats, so caring for animals has always been part of his life. 🦮🐈 We live in a cozy (37m²) studio in Amsterdam-East, right next to Park Frankendael. Because of our studio setup, our home is best suited for small to medium-sized companion dogs. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to accept large guardian types, mastiffs, or large bull breeds like Pit Bulls, Staffies, and Rottweilers. There is plenty of green space nearby for walks (Ring Dijk, Weesperzijde) 🌲 There is also parking available next to the apartment. If allowed, we love going on longer walks, including trips to the Amsterdam Forest or past nearby cafés. Of course, we always follow your rules and only take pets to places where they are comfortable. If you're looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely happy to hang out with your furry friend, I’d love to meet you! I can also send you picture updates!! 💓📸 P.S. I (Simone) also speak Dutch. 🇳🇱 I am a student at the University of Amsterdam, and my partner is completing his PhD, which means our home is almost never empty! Because we are both primarily home based, your pet will benefit from a very consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, interactive playtime, and a quiet, calm environment perfect for naps. :) Between our schedules, there is nearly always someone here to provide company and supervision. On the rare occasion that we are both out for lectures or research, it is never for more than 5 hours. We are more than happy to adjust our daily flow to match your pet's needs! Our apartment is kept tidy and pet proofed for safety. Although we live on the 4th floor, our building has an elevator, making it easily accessible for dogs of all ages and mobility levels! :) Downstairs, there is a ramp in addition to the stairs (which is much better for the short-legged paws) We are located right next to Park Frankendael, which offers wonderful, green routes for our daily walks. We follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and sleep habits to ensure your dog’s routine stays consistent. As we love taking pictures you will also get consistent photo updates so you can see exactly how your pup is settling in!

Over: Sinds ik jong ben ben ik omringt geweest met dieren. Ik wil graag de dieren extra liefde en aandacht geven en de baasjes rust . Ik woon alleen en ik werk niet. Ik ben vaak alleen en altijd thuis. Dus ik heb genoeg tijd om wandelingen te maken of aandacht te geven. Ik heb zelf een balkon en beneden een grote tuin. Er is ook veel natuur waar ik grote wandelingen kan maken. Het is allemaal mogelijk

Over: I’m a responsible and attentive animal sitter based in Amsterdam. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
