Over: Hi there! I’m Ausrine, and animals have been my greatest passion since childhood. Growing up, I dreamed of having both a dog and a cat—and that dream came true early! At age 5, I got my first pet, a bunny. Two years later, we welcomed a curly-haired Bichon Frise into our family, and soon after, we rescued a sweet cat. Ever since, I’ve felt a deep connection with animals—whether it’s a dog, a cat, or even a goat, I just can’t pass one without stopping to admire it. 🐶 My Experience I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have learned a lot from caring for them. When I moved to another city for university, I began volunteering at an animal shelter. I was later selected to work specifically with rescued dogs that had behavioral challenges such as anxiety, reactivity, and dependency. This experience inspired me deeply. It taught me how to build trust with scared or sensitive animals and how much patience, calmness, and consistency can transform a pet’s life. I learned to read subtle signs of stress and understand their emotional needs. Eventually, I adopted my own dog (~4 years ago), Kopa—a wonderful and sensitive soul with a history of trauma. She’s been my greatest teacher. To help her (and deepen my knowledge), I completed several dog training programs, including: • Puppy pre-course • Advanced obedience training • Anxiety-focused dog training • Dog gym training • Agility training (which we’re doing now!) I’ve also pet-sat many breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, King Cavaliers, Poodles, and rescue dogs with complex personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always approach each pet with love and responsibility. In addition to dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats—both social and shy, young and senior. I understand their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm environment where they feel safe and at ease. 🐱 🏡 What You Can Expect A Loving Home Away from Home Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, calm household and treated as part of the family. I live with my fiancé, and together we create a loving, safe, and friendly environment for pets. We live literally in front of Western Park, so daily walks and outdoor time are right on our doorstep. For dogs who need a quieter environment, we also have options to go to less busy areas nearby, perfect for sensitive or anxious dogs. I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to move and relax. If needed, I can provide a separate bedroom so your pet can have personal space, peace, and privacy. Respect for Your Routine I understand the importance of consistency. Share your pet’s routine, habits, and training cues, and I’ll do my best to keep everything familiar and structured. Photo & Video Updates I know how much it matters to stay connected while you’re away. I’ll send you regular updates, including messages, photos, and videos. Prefer video calls? I’m happy to arrange those too! Walks & Mental Stimulation Daily walks, play, and enrichment are part of our rhythm. Whether we’re exploring the neighborhood, working on training, or socializing with others, your dog will stay happy, healthy, and engaged. Safe & Social Environment My professionally trained dog is social and respectful. I do not accept dogs who are aggressive toward other dogs, people, or animals to ensure a safe and harmonious environment in the home. Flexible Pick-Up & Drop-Off Let’s make things easy. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you. 📌 Additional Info ✅ Comfortable with all dog sizes & breeds ✅ Experienced with rescue dogs & behavioral sensitivities ✅ Happy to care for cats and small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) ✅ Separate bedroom available for pets who need personal space Whether it’s for a few hours, a weekend, or longer—I’d love to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. Don’t hesitate to reach out and tell me about your furry companion. I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶🐱🐰💛 Because I mostly work from home and my partner also has flexible work-from-home days, one of us is almost always around. Our daily routine is calm, balanced, and centered around a healthy lifestyle—perfect for pets who thrive in a peaceful, attentive environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet company, your pet will be a natural part of our day and receive all the care, love, and attention they need. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of how I care for animals. Whether your pet stays in my home or I come to yours, their well-being and emotional comfort always come first. At my place, pets join a peaceful and structured daily routine. Our lifestyle is calm, active, and pet-friendly—filled with walks, play, and relaxed downtime. Your pet will be welcomed as part of the family, with plenty of attention, affection, and quiet companionship. I only accept pets that are non-aggressive, ensuring a safe and respectful atmosphere for all. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions carefully. I understand how important consistency is—especially for sensitive pets—so I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules, and use their preferred training cues and commands. I do my best to make everything feel as familiar and stress-free as possible, so your pet feels safe, seen, and supported in their own space. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Over: Ik woon vlakbij het Rembrandtpark in Amsterdam en elke dag loop ik door een waar hondenparadijs. Helaas is mijn appartement net te klein om een hond in te houden, en is Rover daarom een perfecte tussen oplossing! Mijn liefde om naar buiten de natuur in te gaan en de fantastische plekken hier in de buurt voor honden zijn denk ik de gouden combinatie voor een leuke logeerpartij. Het Vondelpark is namelijk ook nog geen 10 minuten lopen. Ik heb zelf veel opgepast op honden van vrienden en vroeger thuis ook honden gehad. Ik heb een voorkeur voor de wat grotere honden, ook met de wens om zelf later een grote hond te hebben :) Het lijkt mij fantastisch om lekker buiten te gaan wandelen en te gaan spelen met jouw hond en zo alvast te oefenen voor later! Getekend een verantwoordelijke speelkameraad, Milan English: I live next to the Rembrandpark in Amsterdam! And every day I walk through a true dog paradise, but unfortunately I find my apartment just too small to keep a dog here. In addition, the Vondelpark is also less than a 10-minute walk away! I think the energy I have and the fantastic places nearby for dogs are the perfect combination for a good time. I have looked after friends' dogs a lot myself and used to have dogs at home. Preference for the larger dogs! Also with the wish to have a large dog in the future :) I think it would be great to go for a walk outside and play with your dog. And so to practice for later! Signed, A responsible playmate Ik ben freelancer en werk veel vanuit huis. Ook heb ik de buitenlucht nodig voor mijn creativiteit. Ik plan mijn week dus zelf in met het liefst veel uitlaat pauzes! Ik ben bijna altijd thuis en laat vaak uit. Ook houd ik zelf van beweging en spelen dus als jouw hond dat nodig heeft dan komt dat goed uit! Zo niet, dan kan het natuurlijk ook lekker rustig zijn ;)

Over: Hallo allemaal, lieve en zorgzame eigenaren van pluizige geluksvogels. Mijn naam is Sasha, ik ben 28 jaar oud en ik ben dol op pluizige dieren, net als jij. Ik heb ervaring met het verzorgen van dieren in dierenasiels en ik heb ook vaak voor de huisdieren van mijn vrienden en familie gezorgd. Zij konden op mij rekenen om hun huisdieren uit te laten, te voeren en te wassen. Zodat jij ook rustig kunt zijn. Ik ben dol op honden en katten. Ik heb een kat en ik wil een grote hond als ik een eigen huis heb. En nu heb ik de tijd die ik wil en kan doorbrengen met pluizige dieren. Ik werk momenteel vier dagen per week van 14.00 tot 23.00 uur. Ik kan dus doordeweeks van 6.00 tot 13:00 uur en na 23:30 uur op uw huisdieren passen. En ook in het weekend.

Over: Hi there, my name is Anja, I am 30 years old and missing my dog back in the UK. I crave to spend more time with dogs - whether it be walking them, providing day care, or checking in on them/playing with them. I am extremely flexible with my time at the moment working part-time (and remotely) - so also looking for something wholesome to do, and a reason to get outside to walk in nature more. I LOVE dog walks. I have always had dogs in my family, so am extremely comfortable with dog walking and care (and picking up poos!) Feel free to reach out if you want a new walker or friend for your dog - happy to meet or talk on the phone before. Look forward to hearing from you! :) Anja I am currently working part-time and mostly remotely, with flexible working hours. This means my day can be organised around the dog(s). I am also more than happy to board or work from your house to keep your dog(s) company if you are away. All I ask for is a good wifi connection! I cannot host dogs at my apartment at the moment as I live with an elderly cat - but, more than happy to come to your home :)

Over: Ik heet Monique en ik woon met mijn man en twee dochters van vijf en negen jaar in Purmerend. Ik en mijn dochters houden enorm van honden daarom heb ik de fantastische “baan”” hondenoppas. Bij mijn thuis kan je je hond spelen, rennen, slapen, en heerlijk knuffelen met de allerbeste knuffelbare lieve kinderen en mij. We houden ook heel erg wandelen en op onderzoek uit gaan en natuurlijk ook heel veel spelen in onze ruime achtertuin. Inmiddels komen elke week drie vaste lieve honden als dagopvang. Naast dagopvang kan je hond ook bij mij logeren. Logeren is voor sommige honden heel spannend dat ik graag in de avond bij je viervoeter blijf zodat ie geen stress of bang is. Jou hond zal altijd en elke dag alle liefde en aandacht krijgen net als mijn eigen hond. We zoeken het liefst honden die kindvriendelijk zijn en gewend zijn aan kinderen. Dankzij Pawshake heb ik al op tientallen honden gepast van klein tot groot en het is altijd geweldig om te zien dat de honden genieten en dat de baasjes heel tevreden naar huis gaan. Daar doe ik het voor en natuurlijk voor de warme knuffels van uw hond!! We hebben ook een hondje Rosie en ze houdt ervan om met andere hondjes te spelen. Ik heb puppy's gehad tot oudere honden en ik kan daarnaast ook medicatie geven aan uw huisdier. Stuur mij een leuke berichtje via Rover. Heel veel liefs van ons. Extra dienst die ik erbij doe wat in de prijs inbegrepen is dat ik elke dag updates stuur over je hond en daarbij leuke foto’s/filmpjes van je hond. Door deze extra ben je altijd dicht bij je viervoeter. Ik ben een flexibele honden oppasser. Elke dag thuis en elke dag beschikbaar. Dagopvang start in de ochtend vanaf 7:00 tot 18:00. Logeren vanaf 14:00 tot de volgende ochtend om 12:00. Ik heb een grote afgesloten tuin en een lieve hond. Elke week heb drie vaste honden die langs komen voor dagopvang. Daarnaast heb ik twee dochters dus je hond heeft alle gezelschap en liefde.

“It was a pleasure working with Nadiia. She made sure our two cats were well taken care of and enjoyed quality time with her, beyond mere feeding & cleaning. They are very shy to strangers but she took a lot of time and effort to make them feel comfortable around her. You could tell they felt less lonely than during our previous trips, they were much friendlier and happier when we returned. Also, Nadiia shared lots of pictures, videos and comments that made us feel much more relaxed knowing our best friends in good hands. Will definitely repeat.”
