Kattenoppas in Voorschoten

Over: Hallo! I'm Gigi.

 Just graduated from Leiden University (human rights law, but now I speak fluent "dog" and "cat" too 🐾). I live in Voorschoten and absolutely adore animals!

 Back in China, I have two lovely cats 🐱🐱, so I totally get how important it is to treat pets like family. And I often helped my neighbor walk her adorable Corgi! Here in the Netherlands, I volunteer with the National Animal Care Foundation where I help keep the cat area clean and cosy (yes, I’m basically a professional litterbox ninja 😼). 
I’m also learning Dutch! While I’m not fluent yet, I already know basic pet commands like “zit”, “kom”, so your pup and I will understand each just fine!

 I’d love to take your pup for a fun walk, some fresh air, and maybe even a little playtime! Reliable, caring, and always on time.
Message me – let’s arrange a walk!
Hope to see you and your furry friend soon! 😊 My daily schedule is very flexible right now as I'm job hunting. I hit the gym for two hours, but the rest of my day is completely open. This means I can easily fit pet care into my routine, whether it's daily walks, feedings, or longer visits, and I can work around your pet's specific needs. I primarily care for pets in their own home because it's less stressful for them! I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Their safety is my top priority, so I make sure everything is secure and they feel comfortable and trusted with me.

“Absolutely fantastic help! We needed some last minute support and Caroline was able to help us. She was amazing with our cat and look care of his needs. We would definitely recommend her and plan on asking for her in the future.”

“Joy really helped me out by being available on very short notice right before the Christmas holidays. My cats are very shy of humans but she managed to get a glimpse of them. This means my cats weren't much intimidated by her. The rats were also comfortable with her. Joy is a trustworthy person who makes lovely reports when she has visited my pets.”

Over: Ik ben opgevoed met honden en katten vanaf mijn geboorte. Mijn moeder is honden trainster geweest, dus daar een hoop ervaring van gekregen! Ik heb echt van alles verzorgt van sterke pitbulls tot de meest schattige Berner sennen ;) Dit ging dan om verzorgen, uitlaten, spelen en verzorgen. Ik heb dit eigenlijk altijd voor mijn ouders en familie gedaan en wil nu graag ook voor andere mensen doen en zodat ik daar jullie bij kan helpen met de leuke beestjes❤️ Ik werk in de beveiliging dus vooral nacht werk maar meestal ben ik wakker om een uurtje 11:00 in de ochtend. Vanaf dan ben ik beschikbaar! Bij mij thuis wordt een beetje lastig aangezien ik nog thuis woon, maar ik vind het zeker niet erg om bij u thuis de hond te verzorgen en aandacht te geven!

Over: Wij zijn Michael en Anastasiya — twee grote dierenliefhebbers met een hart voor zowel honden als katten. Michael is van jongs af aan omringd door dieren en heeft van zijn passie zijn beroep gemaakt. Hij behaalde het officiële diploma “Honden- en Kattenbesluit”, waardoor hij bevoegd is om professioneel met honden en katten te werken. Anastasiya werkte jarenlang als violiste op cruiseschepen en besteedde haar vrije tijd aan vrijwilligerswerk, waarbij ze met veel liefde voor katten zorgde. Samen vormen we het perfecte team: ervaren, zorgzaam en professioneel. We begrijpen dat elk dier uniek is en geven daarom persoonlijke aandacht, afgestemd op hun karakter en behoeften. Heeft uw hond gedragsproblemen, angst, verlegenheid, moeite met andere honden of speciale medische zorg nodig? Geen enkel probleem — wij weten precies hoe we uw trouwe viervoeter of kat op de juiste manier kunnen helpen en begeleiden. Bij ons kunt u erop vertrouwen dat uw dier met alle liefde en deskundigheid wordt verzorgd. 🐾 Wij werken allebei vanuit huis, waardoor we de honden 24/7 toezicht, aandacht en gezelschap kunnen bieden. Er is altijd iemand aanwezig om met ze te spelen, knuffelen of gewoon gezellig samen te zijn. Daarnaast is ons appartement uitgerust met een beveiligingscamera, zodat we de hondjes ook kunnen blijven volgen wanneer we even kort weg zijn. Zo bent u er zeker van dat uw hond altijd in een veilige, liefdevolle en zorgzame omgeving is. 🐶❤️ Wij nemen honden aan van meerdere eigenaren te gelijk,maar veiligheid staat bij ons op nummer één! 🐾 Wij zorgen ervoor dat alle honden zich comfortabel en veilig voelen. Daarom houden we de hondjes, indien nodig, gescheiden en geven we ieder hun eigen ruimte, met voldoende water, voeding en rustmomenten. Wanneer uw hond goed overweg kan met andere honden, laten we ze natuurlijk graag samen spelen — de meeste vinden dat namelijk ontzettend gezellig! Om de veiligheid van alle dieren te waarborgen, nemen wij geen agressieve honden aan. Zo kunnen we iedereen een fijne, rustige en veilige omgeving garanderen. 🐶❤️

Over: I grew up and lived my entire life surrounded by animals, mainly cats and some dogs. I also have had the commitment of taken care of my friend animals (in special dogs), during their holidays. I couldn’t host their because I live with three cats, and I’m not encouraged to take care of bigger dogs because I’m small 😅 I’m working part time so it’s helpful not only for extra money, also for extra activities. I have one year and a half living here, so any kind of activities would help to understand better my new place in the world. I’m not be able to sitting at home because I’m currently live with three cats. So will be enough for them to feel other smells in my clothes after to take care of other pets hahaha

Over: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs and understand them. Cared for difficult, senior, disabled, hyperactive dogs and puppies. I am a distance runner and also run with dogs. I care for their individual needs. Available long term. I work on my master’s and make time to walk or run with your pet. Play with them and feed them too. I keep them company. I care for water, food, walking, playing and even running. I specialize in energetic, senior and difficult dogs. Their needs are your needs which are my needs.

Over: 👋🏻 Hi there! My name is Liza - a project manager, currently looking for a job, who loves spending time with cats and dogs between job interviews and dutch classes. I have been helping to look after cats and dogs for over 20 years. And as I have a cat of my own, I understand all the fears pet owners have when they need to leave their furry friends alone. So you can be sure that I always try to give each pet plenty of attention (if they want it), and treat them all as if they were my own. 🦮 Dog walking Walks for one household at a time (no groups walks). Calm, focused walks of 30-45 minutes. 🐈‍⬛ Cat sitting For cats with outdoor access (for example via a staircase to the street), I can only accept the booking if the cat wears a collar with an AirTag, for safety reasons. 🛏️ Pet sitting (at your home) Although I do not offer an overnight stay service, I understand how important it is for your pet to feel safe in familiar surroundings. What’s more, not every owner wants a stranger to stay overnight in their home unsupervised. That’s why we can always arrange for me to be at your home almost around the clock (excluding overnight stays). -Each stay covers up to 12-hour period. Longer stays can be discussed individually, for an extra fee -3 walks per day included for dogs. Additional walks available for an extra fee -Each additional pet: +€5 per stay 💬 Communication & Care I know how important is to feel connected with your pet while you're away. I'm always more than happy to send short updates, photos or videos, so you can relax knowing everything is going well (as often as you like). To make sure your pet feels safe and happy, please share: -Feeding schedule and any allergies -Favorite toys and play routine -Walk times, habits, and special needs I can also water plants, collect mail and help with small home tasks while you're away 📍Important notes 🐾 A meet & greet is required before confirming any booking 🏡 I do not host pets in my apartment 🛤️ Public transport or taxi, depending on time and location are usually charged separately ✨ I'd love to meet you and your furry friend! Let's make your apart stress-free, with plenty of tail wags and purrs 🐶🐾 I'm currently looking for a job. And apart from job interviews and dutch classes (online) I have plenty of time for your pets. Most of the time I'm free from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. But time slots could be discussed. I understand that all pets are different, with their own personalities and habits. First and foremost, when looking after pets, I rely on the owners’ recommendations, as they know best how to interact with their furry friends. I also believe that we must meet in person before booking. You never know, your pet might not like me at all, and there’s absolutely no point in making them anxious unnecessarily whilst you’re away.

“Ilona heeft fantastisch voor onze hond gezorgd. Ze hebben samen gespeeld, gewandeld en gerust. Ik kan haar 100% aanbevelen!”

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Makiko, I am from Tokyo, Japan. I live in Leiden, Hoge Mors zone. I am a housewife, so I am very flexible with time and I would love to help you with your pet. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything or just want to ask me something. I can't imagine how life is without animals, which I love so much. I was born in a town surrounded by nature with many animals like cows, sheeps, raccoons, monkeys, and many others. I spent my all life with dogs in Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands taking care of my dogs, friends' dogs and neighborhood dogs! I enjoy it so much! I love taking care of pets, cats and dogs of any size, gender and age and taking care of more than one dog is not a problem for me thanks to all the experience I have collected during the last 10 years, abroad and in the Netherlands, with so many different dogs. I am very patient, scrupulous, punctual and careful. The happiness of the pets and the satisfaction of the owners are the absolute priority. I will follow carefully your instructions concerning all aspects of the life of your pet (walking duration, dietary necessities, playing attitude and more). If you live with a cat just let me know what life style he prefers and I will follow your instructions. If you have a dog, I can bring him for walk and play whit him accordingly with his needs. Old dogs need a short walk, other dogs need to run and play longer and more time per day. I will help your dog to maintain his lifestyle the closest as possible to the one she is used with you. My house is a house with a garden with a fence and spacious green areas close by. There is a lot of space to walk in the surrounding area. I live with my husband, my 14 years old daughter and one English bulldog (7 year-old). The pet guest staying at my place will have the space to sleep accordingly with what kind of pet is and your instructions. I am looking forward to reading from you and I wish you a great day. Makiko p.s. Prices for Dog Boarding, Doggy day care and House sitting are just a reference, so please contact me and let's discuss about. The rate changes accordingly to how log your pet needs my assistance. Thank you for your understanding. Currently my main occupation is pet sitting. I visit daily several dog, cats, rabbits, parrots and so on. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Safety is the first point for me. I am always very scrupulous while taking care of your pet. I will send you each time a photo of your pet to show you how he is going.

Over: I love dogs and I live in Wassenaar. I volunteer every Wednesday afternoon as dog walker by the animal shelter Dierentehuis Stevenshage in Leiden! I can drive to your place and visit your dog by your house, and have a walk to his/her favorite park. Just sitting in the garden is also fine of course. Contact me for any additional information! I would be happy to meet you and your dog, and see if we can have a great time together! I'm generally more available on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, so it's easier to improvise; I work office hours in Leiden on the other days. I suggest to contact me to figure what's possible I have experience with many different dogs, both own and from the animal shelter where I volunteer. I can attach a GPS tracker to the collar if needed

Over: Ik heb op de middelbare school les gehad in dieren verzorging in theorie en praktijk. Ook hebben we thuis al sinds ik mij kan herinneren dieren thuis. Ik laat elke dag de hond uit en geef hem eten en aandacht, ik pas ook vaak op huisdieren van vrienden en familie ik heb dus ook ervaring met meerdere honden en katten Omdat ik zelf een ouder hondje heb die aan het dementeren is, let ik altijd goed op tijdens bijv het uitlaten. Hij loopt ook erg veel rond maar omdat hij niet meer zo goed kan zien let ik dan ook goed op dat die zich niet klem loopt

“Leo was very nice for my cat Sammy. She kept me informed, sent pictures and liked Sammy very much. So good to know that your cat is in good hands. I hope she can take care of Sammy another time!!”

Over: (🗣️NL, ENG, PL) I have a degree in Animal Science, and attended an internship at a veterinary clinic and zoological garden. I’ve worked at an animal shelter/ senior house, thus my experience with working with dogs and cats can assure you, your beloved once will be in good hands :). Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At my parents house I used to take care of our 7 dogs, which I’ll be happy to talk about more when we meet :) Furthermore I’m a traveller and have an social and outgoing but calm personality. Please, do not hesitate and contact me via direct text message. This way we can plan the visit individually, to your and your pet’s needs. For me pets are part of the family and I approach them each and everyone with the same amount of care, based accordingly on their individual needs.

“I had a great experience with Xinyue! She took amazing care of my cat and they got along super well. It made me feel at ease seeing the updates everyday. I would highly recommend her services! ”
