Op de kat passen Waalre

Over: Hello! I’m Ivy, a passionate pet lover from Taiwan, currently in the Netherlands on a working holiday. Back home, I have raised three dogs before. Since moving to the Netherlands, I deeply miss the companionship of furry friends. I want to provide local owners with absolute peace of mind. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, fresh water, or some loving attention, I will care for them like my own family. I spent over 15 years raising three wonderful dogs—two Poodles and a Mixed-breed. They taught me how to understand dog body language, maintain consistent routines, and handle different pet personalities with patience. I have part-time job now but please feel free to ask for sitting service at least one week before! (Urgent asking is also welcome) I live in a studio so I usually go to your house to provide daycare service. I think it’s better for your dog baby!

“Carola took really good care of my cat babies! She keeps regular and smooth communication, and sends me lovely pictures. She is the best pet care taker one could hope to get help from. Highly recommended!”

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)

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 🐾

“Sara is amazing, kind and communicative. She sent photos and updates of my cat each day. Our portable AC fell over and she even took the time to get it set back up. Awesome sitter! Fully recommend!”

“Joana was an incredible pet sitter! She absolutely spoiled my cats while we were away and sent us so many videos every day. My cats loved playing with her and getting extra attention. Joana really went above and beyond and I really appreciated how kind and responsive Joana is. I recommend her highly!”
