“Afonso is great! He is very patient with my little one and adapts to my dog needs. He is super communicative and shares pictures with the progress of the day 🐶🐾. He is also very flexible and realiable!”

“Mathilda puts a lot of thought into her work. She provided a fun and challenging day for our high energy rescue Podenco. She took him out with the bike so he could hit his top speed, which is what he loves to do. He has no experience living with cats but Mathilda has the experience and confidence to let him navigate meeting and playing with her cat. Great day!!”

“Ilona is the absolute best! We couldn’t have asked for a more loving, professional, and trustworthy dog sitter. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. Ilona took wonderful care of our 2.5-year-old Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher Mix (Chipin) Pinchi, who is a high-energy dog and can be a handful at times. She was patient, kind, and incredibly attentive to his needs. Ilona went above and beyond—taking him on long walks, spending quality time playing with him, and sending us regular updates with photos and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind to see how happy and well-cared for he was while we were away. She’s not only reliable and knowledgeable, but also warm and communicative—qualities that make all the difference when entrusting someone with your beloved pet. Honestly, I think our dog fell a little in love with her… he didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick him up! Thank you so much, Ilona, for all the love, care, and fun you gave our dog. We’re beyond grateful and will definitely book with you again—if you’re not fully booked already, because you truly are a favorite! 💙 Highly, highly recommended. Ilona is a rare gem!”

“Christiane took great care of Luna, and she is a lovely and friendly sitter to communicate with. Warmly recommended!”

Over: Dear pet owners, my name is Paulien, I'm 25 years old and I live in Amsterdam-West. I have a studio apartment of 27m². I live on the ground floor, so there are no stairs, in case if your furr baby has trouble or isn't allowed to walk up and down stairs yet. I have finished college, I want to become a dog trainer next year, which is an online study, so I'll have plenty of time next to my study to take care of your furr babie(s). I don't have any pets of my own, so I have all the time to do what I love most, taking care of animals! I always make sure that my calendar is updated, but I'm free most of the time! Back in 2018 I had a partner who has 1 dog and 3 cats. I loved taking care of them, take long walks in the park or at the beach. Nothing brings me more joy than play and cuddle with them. My partner at the time had a family friend who owned a dog named Shana and used to take care of their dog, whenever she was on vacation, before she passed away. The reason why I don't have a pet of my own is because my apartment is too small (27m²). So I searched for an option where I can still take care and show my love for pets. I found Rover and started working through here in 2019 as a pet sitter. My heart aches for animals and I want to share my love for them with as many pet owners as I can. I'd love to learn more where needed. Rince Rover is my full time job, I have plenty of time to take care of your furr babies! I can take your dog(s) on long walks if you'd like or stay inside and play/cuddle with some lovely cats. My apartment is fairly small and I don't have a garden where dogs can play, so I'd take them to the park near me (Westerpark) to have some fun, run around and just have a good time. With cats I just like to play with them, cuddle with them and of course let them have their own space where they can rest and explore. I will make sure to give them their space and let them get used to me. I will let the pets be and let them come to me before interacting, I respect their space and want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. When I would be staying in your home, I will always ask if there are things I have to be cautious about (for instance, if the dog is anxious, make sure he doesn't get sensory overladed and if so, because it can be pretty crowded outside, please go back home).

“Paola is so kind! She was so thoughtful with Deboa, so flexible and keeping me posted! Whenever I am back in Amsterdam, I am sure Deboa would be happy to see her again!”

Over: I've been studying in the Netherlands for two years now, and during this time, I've had the joy of petsitting over 30 dogs and cats. I'm originally from China, where I had a Papillon named Sanbao and an American Shorthair tabby named Bawan, who's now seven years old. After moving to the Netherlands, I missed them so much that I decided to start petsitting—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Over the past two years, I've welcomed all kinds of dogs into my home, and through housesitting, I’ve also stayed at many lovely homes across Amsterdam. Each pet I've cared for holds a special place in my heart: from the giant poodle Floppy, to the sweet Shih Tzu Coco, the spirited Shiba Inu Ukemochi, and the mixed-breed duo Teto & Jaap... Every experience has been unique and meaningful. I'm patient, responsible, and familiar with commands in several languages. I love cuddles, I'm warm and enthusiastic, and I always spend quality time playing with the pets I look after. I don't think I'm helping them, they also help me with having a good time during my study here, and grow into a more responsible adult! I'm a student in college with only a few classes each week, and my schedule is quite flexible. If a dog needs walking, I usually come home right after a two-hour lecture. This means I have plenty of time to spend playing and bonding with pets. With summer coming up, I’ll have even more free time! I’m flexible on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m always happy to discuss and adjust to what works best for you. I live alone in a spacious 35m² studio. While I don't have a backyard, my neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful, right next to the canal—a lovely area where many people walk their dogs. I always encourage a meet & greet before a booking, so we can make sure everything feels right for both you and your pet!

“Anastasia took care of Zuko for a day and did a great job. She kept us regularly updated and sent lots of pictures, which was amazing. She followed his routine, and Zuko looked calm and cheerful on their walks and was his usual playful self when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Anastasia”

Over: As a lifelong dog and cat owner, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and loving care for your pets. I’ve cared for everything from large dogs to small ones, and my experience includes caring for two cats and multiple dogs of different sizes. With my extensive experience as both a pet owner and sitter, I’m excited to offer all my love and attention to your furry companions while you’re away. Whether it’s playing, walks, cuddles, or maintaining a routine, I’ll treat your pet like my own. Currently, due to my travels, I can’t have my own pet, so I’m looking forward to showering your pets with the care they deserve! I am mostly working from home, my partner (Federico Barragan) too and we would both be present and take care of the pet. Available most weekends too. Me and my partner (Federico) live in a nice apartment, quiet area and full of parks around! We have 2 big rooms to host the pet and make it feel like at home. A balcony we can easily fence if needed.

“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: Hi there :) I’m an experienced pet caregiver with a genuine passion for animals. As I’m currently taking a break from work, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your furry friends. Taking care of pets brings me so much joy, and I’d love to help keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable when you’re not around. Why Me? • I’m home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. • Experience with a variety of pet personalities and needs. • I believe in treating every pet with the same love and respect I would give my own. • I prioritize open communication with owners, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently working part-time, therefore I have a lot of free time to spend with your loved ones! I like to wake up early, do exercises outside (therefore I love to walk with dogs) and spoil out furry friends with a lot of cuddles and love. I live in a spacious apartment with a balcony and close to my building there is a very big green area where all the dogs are running and playing. Pets will almost never be left unsupervised, since I'm currently on leave from work. I like to respect the environment of the pet - he is in a new house and needs to adapt, sometimes it’s not easy! I can administer oral medication and will keep the contact of your vet in case of emergency!

“Stéphanie and her partner looked after our Puppy for the day. They were great communicators, very friendly and were very proficient looking after a puppy. We got regular updates throughout the day & it was obvious our pup was comfortable and relaxed with them. Would happily request another sitting in the future.”

Over: Hi, I'm Carmen! I'm a theatre artist. Alongside my passion for the stage, I'm also a devoted dog lover. While I don't have a pup of my own right now in Amsterdam, I'm all about showering love on furry friends through dog sitting. I have been passionate about caring for dogs for over 15 years. In addition to having pets of my own (my furry friend died few years ago), I have volunteered at dog shelters for several years and I am currently employed at DOA as a volunteer, an animal shelter located in Amsterdam where I work with shelter dogs. During my time at DOA, I have received extensive training on how to properly walk dogs, including leash manners and using positive reinforcement techniques. I have also gained experience handling different types of dogs, including those with behavioral issues such as aggression and anxiety. I'm located in Amsterdam-Noord, just a stone's throw away from the Noord metro station. My cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a spacious 65m2 and a huge balcony is the perfect spot for pups to relax and play. Plus, we've got plenty of green spaces and beautiful parks nearby, like Noorderpark, Vliegenbos, Baanakkerpark, and my personal favorite, Schellingwouderbreekpark. They're all just a short 15-minute walk away! I take great pride in providing a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care. I believe that every dog deserves to be treated with love and respect, and I strive to provide them with the attention and care they need to thrive. I am a theatre artist and an illustrator who work from home, which allows me to provide flexible pet care services throughout the day. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests or changes to your pet's routine. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I work closely with pet owners to ensure their preferences are met. This includes following any specific feeding or medication schedules, adhering to training routines, and creating a comfortable and familiar environment for the pet.

“Ontzettend blij met Ricardo als oppas voor mijn Malamute Koda. Vriendelijk, serieus, geeft de honden genoeg beweging. Aanrader!”

Over: Hi there!
My name is Elena, and I’m an Italian student living in Amsterdam. I’ve always loved animals, having grown up with a Doberman since I was thirteen and living with cats throughout my life. Now that I’m in Amsterdam, I really miss having pets around, which is why I’d love to help take care of yours! I understand how much pets mean to their owners—they’re part of the family. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. Having experience with both large dogs and independent cats, I know how to adapt to different temperaments and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to bring some extra love and attention to your pet’s day. Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! :) Currently, l'm not working, which allows me to dedicate most of my time to taking care of pets. I'm home throughout the day and can give them plenty of attention, walks, and care. Occasionally, I may have short outings during the week or on weekends, but they're rare and won't interfere with my ability to prioritize the pets' needs. I ensure that pets in my home feel comfortable, safe and loved. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and stick to their routines as much as possible. i also make sure they have a clean, quiet space to rest and access to fresh water and food. I treat every pet as if they were my own :)

Over: I am deeply passionate about animals and dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care for your beloved pets. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience caring for a variety of animals—from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies—belonging to family and close friends. I always ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat each one with the same love and respect as if they were my own. My goal is to be not just a caregiver but your pet’s trusted companion while you’re away, offering peace of mind through responsible, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Since I work from home, I am able to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. This allows me to give them plenty of attention, regular feeding, exercise, and companionship according to their individual needs. My availability ensures your pets won’t feel lonely and will have a reliable routine, even while you’re away. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care, whether in my home or at the owner’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, free from hazards, with comfortable spaces for rest and play. When caring at the owner’s home, I strictly follow their instructions and routines to ensure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I build trust through clear communication, reliability, and respect for each pet’s unique needs, always putting their happiness and security first.

“Highly recommended! He is incredibly flexible and accommodating with check-in and check-out times, making the whole process stress-free. Their communication was clear and consistent, keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay. I will definitely book with them again! 😊🐶”
