Over: Hallo, Ik ben Lucas! Ik houd veel van dieren en ik wandel graag met alle soorte honden! Ik heb heel veel gewandeld met honden en zelf heb ik thuis 3 katten. Ik heb veel vrije tijd dus ik ben erg flexibel met de tijden dat ik op kan passen of uitlaten. Doordeweeks maar ook in het weeknd. Thuis speel ik veel met mijn dieren en geef ik ze een hoop liefde! Dat kan je natuurlijk ook verwachten voor jouw dieren. Ik wandel en speel graag met ze.

“Thomas took great care of Stan! The meet up was really nice and showed his love for dogs. In the time he came to check in he made sure Stan had fun and got a good outlet. He made sure Stan was comfortable and happy😊”

Over: Hi! I’m Louisa, a 24 year old (half Dutch, half Taiwanese) cat and dog lover. I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own cats, and I recently became a dog lover too through my volunteer work at an animal shelter. Whether in personal or professional settings, I’ve learned how important it is to meet every animal on their own terms — and that will always be my first priority. Animals have always made me feel safe and seen, and I try to offer them that same sense of comfort in return. Cats Experience • My own cats: I’ve lived with cats since I was 7, and each one has taught me something different about boundaries and communication. I’ve cared for shy cats, anxious cats, and highly energetic cats. My current cat, Maine, is young and playful — I’ve trained her to walk on a leash using clicker training and calm, low stimulus practice sessions. Living with such different personalities has taught me how to adapt to each cat’s needs, whether they’re sensitive, independent, or full of energy. • Shelter experience: I volunteer at the animal shelter 1–2 times a week, socializing cats with a wide range of temperaments. I use techniques like the 3 second rule and careful observation of body language, and I also help teach new volunteers these protocols. I’ve gained experience with practical care too, such as weighing cats, taking temperatures, and giving simple medications. I also understand that socializing can simply mean sharing space and offering a calm presence. • Additional training: I’ve followed a lecture on TNR cats and am currently training to assist with the adoption process, helping match future owners with the right cat. What I offer • 1–2 house visits per day (30–60 minutes) • Photo/video updates after every visit • Feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, simple medications • Small chores (mail, plants, trash) • Outdoor supervision or leash/backpack walks if your cat is comfortable with this (we need to meet beforehand to see how this goes before you leave) Caring for so many different cats has made me patient, observant, and focused on helping each cat feel safe and at ease. Dogs Experience I’ve always enjoyed spending time with dogs through family and friends, and over the past year I’ve gained hands on experience walking shelter dogs of different sizes, personalities, and training levels. I believe both the dog and I should feel safe and relaxed together, and I’m honest when a dog needs more experience than I can offer (I then opt to learn and watch from more experienced volunteers) . I use positive reinforcement and have completed the shelter’s mandatory clicker training course, which allows me to walk yellow coded dogs and some orange coded dogs when we’re a good match (green = easy behavior, yellow = trained but not always responsive, orange = needs active training and guidance). What I offer • Walks for small to medium dogs, or larger well trained • A free meet and walk beforehand to ensure everyone feels comfortable • Feeding and fresh water • 1–2 walks per day (up to an hour each) • Playtime, enrichment, and company (time spent with them can be planned beforehand to match the needs of the dog and my availability) • Photo/video updates after every visit If you feel I could be a good match for your pet, I’d be happy to meet you and see how your cat or dog responds to me. I look forward to caring for your pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. Besides my set days at the animal shelter (Monday + Thursday), I am very flexible in terms of time. I prefer Fridays and weekends, and am happy to come around during a time range of 11AM onwards till 6PM, as I also need to take care of my own cat at night time and in the morning. I live with grandfather so I am not able to host your pets in my own home, but I am happy to take care of your pet in your own home. I prefer not to do overnight care but am happy to also perform small tasks in the house while caring for your pet (like taking out the green container for example or things like that)

“Sarah is a really kind and caring person. She is a natural cat attract! 😂 Even my shy cat got along with her very well and was comfortable around her! She took very good care of my cats and was responsive as well! I hope I get to ask her again for taking care of them.”

Over: Hi! My name is Brenda, and caring for animals is something I do with love, patience and dedication ❤️ I have experience taking care of many kinds of pets, not only dogs and cats, but also small animals like hamsters, rabbits and even reptiles. I understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. For me, pets are family members, not just animals. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. With affection, attention, playtime, cuddles and lots of care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, playful, elderly, or needs extra patience, I adapt to them and make sure they feel calm and happy. You can expect: • Lots of love and attention • Daily updates and photos • Responsible and care • Patience with nervous or shy pets • Respect for your pet’s routines and needs • A clean, safe, and calm environment I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I want you to feel completely relaxed knowing they are in loving and responsible hands. I would be happy to meet you and your amazing pet ❤️ I work from home Monday to Friday, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle time. Your pet will never feel lonely with me ❤️ I live in a calm apartment with a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your animal will receive my full attention and care. Right next to my home there is a huge park, perfect for long walks, exercise, and playtime outdoors. I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while staying with me 🐾

Over: I've been pet sitting for many years. Initially, I did it for free for neighbors, friends, and relatives, then I started doing it as a job. I can administer medications as needed. I have no problem going for long walks, even in the rain (I'm used to it, having Maremma Sheepdogs). I'm not working right now, so I have the whole morning and afternoon free. I have two kids in school, so the only time I'm busy is when they get home from school, but after this moment I can be free. But if you have an emergency, and i take your pet immediatly, and i can't leave my children with anyone, know that my kids are used to having animals at home, so they will respect and pamper your furry friend, obviously under my constant supervision. I have a habit of sending photos and videos to my furry friends every time I get home, and if the owner asks, I'll even do a video call. At the owners' homes, I get into the habit of changing their water and food, and while they're eating, I check for any scattered "treats" and clean the litter box. If the owner wants, i open the windows to change air for Pets! After that, I get into the habit of spending some time with them, playing and checking to make sure they're healthy (touching and massaging them). Finally, I close the windows (if you had them open), change the water in the bowls again, and add more food if recommended by the owner. As for the dogs, I come home and, after a quick cuddle, I immediately put the leash on them and we go out. When I get back, I change their water and serve them their food. I calmly wait for them to eat while I check the house for any "treats" (and open windows of owner wants). When pet finishes eating (in case i close Windows) and i'm leaving. At my house, however, they'll be with us all day, sharing the space. There will be two or three walks (depending on their habits) and lots of cuddles from everyone.

Over: I have taken care of pets since I was 7 years old, when my family started a dog business. In the past years, I attended multiple dog shows and trained different dog breeds. My grandfather`s profession is a dog breeder and trainer and I always helped him and picked up some useful skills in pet care. I grew up helping run a dog kennel with my family in Romania, where we raised and trained dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs. We worked most closely with Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Bernese Mountain Dogs, but I’m comfortable handling any breed, including mixed breeds and rescue dogs who may need extra patience or structure. My experience includes obedience training, guarding, socialization, and correcting aggressive or reactive behavior, always tailored to the individual dog’s needs. I understand how to adjust care and training depending on breed traits, age, energy level, past trauma, or medical conditions, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s routine to keep them safe, calm, and fulfilled. Pet care is a core part of my daily life. I’m currently catching up on university credits, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of free time that I dedicate to dog sitting, walks, and outdoor activities. Whether it's early morning or late evening, I’m able to adjust to each pet's needs and routine. Caring for animals isn't just something I do on the side — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. I currently do not host dogs in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in your home while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — walks, meals, attention, and playtime included — so they feel safe and relaxed. I know how stressful it can be for pets to stay in shelters or busy kennels, and I always aim to offer the opposite: calm, one-on-one care, where your dog feels secure in their environment. This way, you return home to the same happy pet you left — no disruption, just wagging tails.

Over: I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet with someone, so I always aim to provide updates, attention, and a home-like atmosphere. I have experience with cats and small pets, and I make sure they feel comfortable, respected, and relaxed during their stay. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, play, and rest. 🏡 What I provide: A safe, clean, and quiet home environment Daily care, attention, and supervision Updates and photos during the stay (if you like) Respect for your pet’s habits and personality 🧳 What to bring for your pet: To make your pet feel at home, I kindly ask owners to provide: Food for the entire stay Litter and litter box (for cats) Any favorite toys, blanket, or bed (optional but recommended) 📅 Booking & payment: Please note that bookings are only confirmed once completed through Rover, as required by the platform. This ensures safety and coverage for both you and your pet. 🤝 Meet & greet: For first-time bookings, I’m happy to arrange a meet & greet so you and your pet can feel comfortable before the stay. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐾💛 I work full time but i do it as my hobby, as i love pets and enjoy spending time with them. I do it frequently together with my 12 years old daughter as she adores pets 😍 I have a cat at home. But i do not offer pet care at my place. I can take care of any pet at the owner house.

Over: Als ervaren en liefdevolle dierenoppas zorg ik met alle aandacht voor honden, katten, kleine huisdieren, paarden en reptielen. Ik bied betrouwbare en professionele zorg, met dagelijkse wandelingen, speeltijd en verzorging op maat. Medicatie toedienen is voor mij geen probleem en gebeurt altijd zorgvuldig. Elk dier krijgt bij mij dezelfde warmte en liefde alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is. Beschikbaar voor oppas aan huis en wandelservices. Jonge speelvogel of oude charme in huis? Onze puppytraining richt zich op positieve begeleiding: basiscommando’s, socialisatie, zindelijkheid, wandeloefeningen en het ontwikkelen van een sterke band tussen mens en hond. Dit alles gebeurt in een rustige, vriendelijke sfeer die perfect aansluit bij het tempo van het baasje. Daarnaast bieden wij extra ondersteuning voor senioren, zoals hulp bij tillen, voedertips, advies over veilig wandelen, en persoonlijke begeleiding bij het oefenen van technieken thuis. Zo zorgen we ervoor dat senioren met vertrouwen en plezier bij hun baasjes kunnen blijven, zonder zich overbelast te voelen. Voor een klein extraatje is het wassen van je hond ook mogelijk, vraag er gerust naar! Als ervaren dierenoppas ziet mijn werkdag er elke dag anders uit. Ik neem graag voor ieder dier voldoende tijd en zorg. Neem dus contact met mij op om dagen en uren te bespreken. Als ervaren dierenoppas vind ik het belangrijk dat jouw dier de gepaste verzorging krijgt die nodig is voor een blij en gezond dier. Hier maak ik graag voldoende tijd voor. Omdat veiligheid hoog in mijn vaandel staat worden wandelingen altijd aan de leiband gedaan.

“She was very flexible with setting up a meet and greet beforehand and also with the timing to come by and care for the cats on the actual date. We also appreciated the photos she shared and that she hung out with them for a little while! I will definitely request her as a sitter again. :)”
