Over: Hi, I’m Harika!
I have been a proud dog owner for over 12 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. For the past 5–6 years, I have also looked after dogs for friends, family, and people in my community.
I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routine. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so they feel safe, relaxed, and understood. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them comfortable.
I love being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated are something I truly enjoy. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own.
I am reliable, calm, responsible, and communicative. You can expect regular updates, photos, and messages, so you always know how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.
I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Since I’m currently not working, I have a lot of time and flexibility to dedicate to pets. I enjoy having animals around and I’m happy to adapt my day to their routine and needs. A typical day for me is quite relaxed. I usually start my morning with a walk, and I’m happy to take a dog with me for a longer walk if they enjoy it. During the day, I spend a lot of time at home, so pets wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. I enjoy playing with them, giving them attention and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very happy to look after cats. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always try to follow the owner’s instructions and give each animal the care and attention they are used to. I’m flexible with my time and can adapt to different routines, whether a pet needs walks, company, playtime or simply someone around while their owners are away. Pets are welcome throughout my home and are free to move around and feel comfortable. I don’t have a garden, but I do have a balcony. They can relax wherever they like, and I also have a cozy little corner for them to sleep and rest. Of course, they can also find their own favorite spot in the house. 😊

“So lovely, Daisy was sooo happy to stay :)”

“Jovan is such an attentive and kind dog sitter, our dog Waldo had such a great time hanging out with him and Misha! Jovan was super accommodating and met up with us first so we could see if Waldo and Misha get along. He was also really understanding and patient knowing that Waldo can be a bit shy and anxious at first. He even kept us updated during the day with pictures. We are super happy that Waldo was in such good hands and will book daycare with Jovan again very soon <3”

Over: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a very pet-loving family where we always had at least three dogs, sometimes four, alongside rabbits, fish, and other pets. Over the years I’ve lived with and cared for a wide variety of different breeds, including Bernese Mountain Dogs, Newfoundlands, a Cocker Spaniel mix, a Maltese Poodle, and a Boerboel. Having had both giant breeds and smaller dogs as pets has really taught me how different every dog is and how important it is to adapt to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. I regularly took our three Bernese Mountain Dogs on hikes in the mountains and on adventures to forests and lakes, while our smaller dogs much preferred a relaxing walk on the beach or park. I now work from home full-time, with no pets currently, and live just a short walk from Vondelpark, which means I have the flexibility to give plenty of attention, walks and playtime throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which means I’m around throughout the day and can give pets plenty of attention and cuddles! I live just a 5-minute walk from Vondelpark and usually head there at least once a day, so dogs staying with me can enjoy regular walks and lots of time outdoors. Whether your pet loves being active or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to their routine! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment with a secure balcony and easy access to Vondelpark. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away without a worry!

“Caoimhe and Alex took great care of Charlie. He got along really well with their 9 month old toy poodle, Waffles. They took him for several short pee breaks during the day which we really appreciated since it is quite hot out to do longer walks today. They also kept us well informed throughout the day and shared plenty of cute photo and videos of Charlie and Waffles. Thank you both!”

“Super happy with how it went! Will book again”

Over: I moved here recently here with my partner and I am taking a break from nursing to pursue other things! I love dogs which is why I have my own dog named Andie, who I am home with most days. We welcome dogs into our home, and your dog can have a little playdate! I have experience with separation anxiety, and I will honor whatever care plan that you may have in place. I can administer medications and make sure your dog feels welcome and secure. I will provide as many updates you like on your pup because I know what it’s like to feel anxious about not being around them. My home is open to your fur baby! I am free most days and can walk your dog whatever their schedule is. I am very flexible with stays at my home or at yours any day of the week. In my home, I let them sniff the area first to get the lay of the land. This will give them space to get comfortable surroundings and understand that it is a safe space for them. Since my dog is also home with me, I prefer they meet in neutral territory for a meet & greet to ensure that it is a good match, however I’ve had other dogs come over without the need for one, and it has been okay. I just like to take the extra precaution to give both of us piece of mind. At the client’s home, I’ll follow yours and your dog’s routine. I’ll initially watch them closely to assess how they interact in their home. I do this for my own understanding so I can best read their needs.

Over: Ik heb eigenlijk altijd met dieren gewoont en er hart voor gehad, zelf heb ik bij een dierenhotel gewerkt met voornamelijk honden en beseft dat het veel leuker is om voor mezelf te werken zolang er maar honden om me heen zijn. Ook ben ik op mijn vorige werkplek getraint om met lastigere honden om te kunnen gaan wat ookal zeg ik het zelf best goed doe. Ik heb op het moment 1 hond waar ik structureel op pas en het liefst spendeer ik mijn vrije tijd ook met honden want ja als je doet waar je van houdt hoef je geen enkele dag te werken. Thuis kunnen ze lekker op de slaapbank of op 1 van de 2 poefjes liggen of op bed mist ze schoon zijn hahhaa, vondelpark is bij mij om de hoek dus daar zijn we ook regelmatig te vinden.

“We were quite nervous about leaving our puppy with someone for the first time, but Tripti was super sweet and immediately put us at ease. We received lovely updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. At the end of the day, when I picked Marie up again, she was tired but very happy. Overall, it was a really great experience! 🐾”

Over: k heb ervaring met het verzorgen en uitlaten van honden van verschillende leeftijden en karakters. Ik vind het belangrijk om goed te kijken naar de behoeften van iedere hond, of het nu gaat om een energieke wandeling, spelen en aandacht, of juist een rustige aanpak. Door mijn geduldige en verantwoordelijke houding voelen honden zich snel op hun gemak bij mij. Ik zorg ervoor dat ze voldoende beweging, aandacht en verzorging krijgen, zodat ze zich veilig en gelukkig voelen terwijl hun baasje weg is. Ik werk vanuit huis, waardoor ik veel tijd heb om aandacht te geven aan de dieren die ik verzorg. Daarnaast maak ik dagelijks wandelingen, dus honden die graag naar buiten gaan krijgen voldoende beweging en gezelschap. Ik bied zowel oppas aan bij mij thuis als bezoeken aan huis, afhankelijk van de behoeften van jouw huisdier. Bij opvang thuis krijgen dieren veel aandacht, gezelschap en een rustige, veilige omgeving. Bij verzorging aan huis zorg ik voor voeding, vers water, speeltijd, knuffels, kattenbakreiniging en indien gewenst een wandeling. Ik behandel elk huisdier met dezelfde liefde en zorg als mijn eigen dieren.

“Everything went great, Nadine is super kind and Tory loved to stay with her 😊”

Over: A real home away from home – No cages, just endless love & belly rubs! 🐾 I know how important it is to leave your beloved dog or cat in safe, loving hands. At my home, your pet will never be just a 'guest' – they become part of the family. Zero cages, zero kennels. Your dog will enjoy a warm, stress-free home environment with: Full freedom in the house and a secure backyard to relax and explore. Endless cuddles, attention, and belly rubs whenever they want. Respect for their unique personality – whether they are a shadow who loves to cuddle 24/7 or an independent giant who prefers their quiet nap spot. Daily photo and video updates so you can see how much fun they are having. (WhatsApp) My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you are away! I don't speak Dutch (in progress), but I'd be happy to learn a few commands that your dog knows. My partner and I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can go for a walk with your dog every 2 hours. I have a fenced garden and a big house. Your little pet will be safe here. I have two guinea pigs in a fenced cage.

“Charlie had amazing time with Carolina. She was taking pictures and sending updates all day. I recommend this sitter, your dog will be in very good hands!”

Over: Wij zijn twee echte hondenliefhebbers die graag voor jouw hond zorgen. Omdat ik momenteel tussen twee banen in zit, heb ik alle tijd en aandacht om jouw hond een fijne dag te bezorgen. Mijn vriend heeft ruim 10 jaar ervaring met honden en is opgegroeid met een hond vanaf zijn zevende. Daarnaast passen we regelmatig op het hondje van een vriendin. We wonen in Amsterdam, maar maken graag lange wandelingen in het Vondelpark of rijden naar een mooi natuurgebied voor extra avontuur. Bij ons krijgt jouw hond veel liefde, aandacht en beweging. Omdat ik momenteel tussen twee banen in zit, ben ik veel thuis en kan ik mijn dag volledig afstemmen op de behoeften van jouw hond. Dat betekent alle tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen en de verzorging die jouw hond gewend is. Mijn vriend werkt fulltime, maar is ’s avonds en in het weekend ook graag betrokken. Samen zorgen we voor een rustige, liefdevolle en betrouwbare omgeving waarin jouw hond zich snel thuis zal voelen. Ik vind het belangrijk dat een hond zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Daarom houd ik zoveel mogelijk de dagelijkse routine aan die hij of zij gewend is, zoals vaste wandelmomenten, etenstijden en eventuele medicatie. Er is volop tijd voor aandacht, spelen, rust en knuffels. Ik stem de verzorging altijd af op de wensen van het baasje, zodat jouw hond de zorg krijgt die hij of zij verdient.

“Eric is wonderful! He takes care of our pup routinely during the week while we are at work and is so kind, extremely responsive, and keeps us updated with great photos throughout the stay. We have a high-energy pup and Eric keeps him active with multiple walks and outdoor time throughout the day. His pick up and drop off has made our work days so smooth and stress-free. We know our dog is in safe hands the entire time. Highly recommend!”

“Kerrie took great care of our dog Bamboe and we will definitely ask her to take care of her again.”

“Burce was a great dogsitter for Coda! She sent lots of pictures and videos and I could tell my dog was feeling good with her (much more than with other dogsitters in the past). She took care of Coda together with her sister which I think is nice for the energy in a house. Would highly recommend her, thanks again :-)”
