“Wafflz had a great time with Hector and Milán! Communication was great and they were always sending pictures and videos of my doggy which is much appreciated. I'd definitely recommend them for anyone who wants the peace of mind that their pet is taking care of.”

Over: Hi, I'm Carla! Animals have always had a very special place in my life. Being around them makes me genuinely happy, and becoming a pet sitter is a way for me to spend more time doing something that truly fulfils me. My inspiration One of the biggest reasons behind this step is Zara, my American Bulldog. She was sweet, gentle and incredibly sociable, although, like the great lady she was , she could also be a little temperamental and selective! Zara taught me so much about respecting an animal's individual personality, needs and boundaries. When she passed away in October 2025, she left a huge space in my life. Her loss also made me realise how much being around animals means to me. It gave me an even stronger desire to spend my time caring for, learning from and simply being close to other animals. In many ways, becoming a pet sitter is my way of following that feeling. Our family and home I live with my husband and my teenage son and my American bully size pocket, named Bully, a very special member of the family. I believe it's important to be completely transparent: i have a dog living in my home. For this reason, every dog staying with me will be carefully introduced and assessed beforehand to make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I don't want to fill my home with as many dogs as possible. I prefer to offer a calm, loving family environment where every dog receives individual attention and care. A garden to play, relax and simply be a dog. I have a large garden where dogs can enjoy the outdoors, play, explore and have some freedom. The garden is completely enclosed and secure, with mostly grass, giving dogs plenty of space to relax, explore and enjoy some outdoor time. I also enjoy providing mental enrichment activities, adapted to each dog's personality and needs. After all, keeping their minds active can be just as important or more then physical exercise! And of course, sometimes the best activity is doing absolutely nothing just simply relaxing on the grass and enjoying a little sun, when the Dutch weather allows it! Above all, I value the safety of every dog in my care. The garden has been prepared with this in mind, so dogs can enjoy their time outside in a safe environment. My experience All my life i had contact with animals like dogs, cats, birds and even a very naughty parrot. Living with and caring for my own dogs has taught me a lot about routines, wellbeing and the importance of noticing even the smallest changes. I also have practical experience with dogs with allergies and sensitive skin, including skin-care routines and ongoing maintenance. Any specific care is always provided according to the owner's instructions and, where necessary, veterinary guidance. How I can help Loving home boarding for dogs, following a prior introduction Doggy day care Pet sitting and companionship Dog walks I enjoy taking dogs on calm walks through quite green surroundings, with canals and open spaces nearby. Every dog on my care will have 3 walks per day at least. There are also designated areas where dogs can safety enjoy some off- leash time. For safety reasons, i prefer to keep dogs on a leash during walks. The length of each walk depends on the will, energy and how much dog is having fun but in general, each walk lasts around 30 minutes, giving the dog a calm, relaxed moment. Home visits Feeding according to your pet's routine. Medication administration when clearly instructed. Can be daily skin care routine, pills or another type of medication. Playtime and mental enrichment Basic hygiene care. For over night stays, I have comfortable beds and crates available if necessary, depending on each dog's needs and what they are used to. Regular photo and video updates, ALWAYS For cats: Unfortunately, I can't host cats in my home because i have Bully, but I would be very happy to care for them in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. What matters most to me I know how difficult it can be to leave our pets in someone else's care. They are not "just animals", they are family. That's why I like to get to know every pet before caring for them. I want to understand their personality, routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, respected and happy while you're away and to give you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for with genuine attention and affection. I would love to meet you and your furry family member and see if we're a good match. At the moment, I work part‑time only in the mornings, three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), with reduced hours. This means that every afternoon and the rest of the week I’m fully available for walks, daycare, pet_sitting and boarding, depending on what each family needs. Even on the mornings when I’m working, my schedule is flexible enough to offer early walks or evening visits. I always try to organise my routine so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to leave my part‑time job soon, because I truly feel happiest when I’m surrounded by dogs. This is the path I want to follow, and I’m slowly shaping my life around it. I’m committed, present and always honest about my availability, so you can feel safe knowing your pet is in good hands. A day with me is personal, simple and real. In my daily routine with the doggies, I like to keep everything light, calm and full of affection. Every dog that arrives is welcomed as if they were already part of my little family. My Bully, always sweet and social, helps set the tone and makes newcomers feel safe right away. I start by checking how each dog is feeling: their mood, energy, any special needs, medication or skin care. Every dog has their own rhythm, and I follow that rhythm naturally. Throughout the day, I make sure we have at least three walks, always adapted to what each pup enjoys. Some love exploring every corner, others prefer short and peaceful walks and even when the ground is wet, the routine continues, because they need that time outside. If the weather allows it, the safe backyard becomes the favourite spot: playtime, running, sniffing around and relaxing in the sun. After every outdoor moment, I clean their paws so they stay comfortable and tidy. I like to balance physical play with mental stimulation, which I find very important. Search games, small challenges, individual attention… and of course, plenty of allowed laziness. Here, every pup rests whenever they want, without pressure. In my home, getting on the sofa is allowed and cuddles in bed too, but always discussed with the owners first, I don’t want to create habits that don’t fit each family. If I’m caring for a dog in their own home, I keep the same routine: walks, playtime, hygiene, attention and respect for the family’s space. I’m a true dog mum, and I treat every guest with the same affection I give my own dog. At the end of the day, seeing each dog calm, safe and happy is what moves me, it’s the feeling that I’m on the right path.😊

Over: I had experience taking care of cats with kidney and urinary problem, I experienced dealing with anxious cats where it anticipated danger to human. I know how to give oral medication, prescription diets and giving fluid for cats suffering kidney problem. I’m currently working part time 3 times a week and mostly I stay at home to start my career. So there is enough attention and time to take care of your fur babies staying at my house! I have a fully fenced garden, my bedroom and a spared bed room with a lock in the window and a living room. I make sure the cat has enough activity space and I separate clean and dirty areas.

“Rocio is een hele fijne oppas voor Joep geweest. Ze stuurde iedere foto’s.”

“Geweldig lieve familie die heel lief zorgen voor mijn hondje Sia. De dochters zijn enorm dierenliefhebbers en knuffelen het liefst de hele tijd met haar.”

Roy T.

“Tzuyu was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated with regular videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear how happy and well cared for my dog was. She spent quality time with her at the park, making sure she got plenty of exercise, play, and attention. What really stood out was how genuinely caring Tzuyu is. She treated my dog like she was her own, going above and beyond to make sure she felt loved, comfortable, and happy while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I would recommend Tzuyu to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dedicated to caring for their pet.”

“Priscilla made it so easy for me to go away on my work trip. She was super sweet, responsive, and communicative throughout, and Link couldn’t have been happier! I got to meet Priscilla beforehand, which gave me a lot of reassurance knowing Link would be staying in a good, comfortable home and keeping her company while she works from home. He also got some lovely, long walks while he was there. I’d happily leave Link with Priscilla again and would definitely recommend her!”

Christian V.

Over: I’ve taking care of own cats, and family dogs and cats since age 10. My best friends dog was also my roomie. I have helped co-workers and neighbors with their pet sitting, and weekly visit my best friends pets. I connect well with most pets and have become available to explore this new career part professionally! I’m working from home, part time, and have a 50sqm apartment with a balcony, to ease the mind. I live close to many different parks and pathways that I enjoy walking on regularly. I visit my friends dogs and cats sometimes weekly. I keep a clean place and have areas for sitting, sleeping, eating, evacuating if necessary. Id try to divide time with different tasks during the day, so to accommodate, interaction, playing, walking, evacuating, running, and resting accordingly. It’s depending of course.

“Mina was so sweet, professional and caring for our dog. We felt very good having her watching him- and she sent also regular updates providing extra comfort! Highly recommended.”

Over: 🐾 Wij zijn Kelly en Jeroen, twee echte hondenliefhebbers die het leuk vinden om op honden te passen. Zo kunnen we onze liefde voor honden combineren met het sparen voor een mooie reis naar Azië. Ik, Kelly heb mijn hele leven honden gehad en diverse cursussen gevolgd. Mijn vriend Jeroen is opgegroeid met honden en is gek op dieren. Of het nu gaat om lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen op de bank of lekker samen op pad gaan, hij geniet er volop van. Om de week is ook Spriet bij ons, een lieve Italiaanse windhond die goed met andere honden overweg kan. Voor haar vinden we het dan ook gezellig als er af en toe een hondenvriendje of -vriendinnetje komt logeren. We wonen vlak bij het Zuiderpark en het hondenstrand en hebben een auto om naar leuke losloopgebieden te gaan. Vooraf maken we graag even kennis, zodat we kunnen kijken of het een goede match is. 🐕❤️ Op dit moment zit ik (kelly) tot eind oktober tijdelijk thuis van werk. Het lijkt mij leuk om deze dagen op te kunnen vullen met oppas werk voor honden. Om deze reden is de dagopvang ook mogelijk. Voor mij is een kennismaking voor de dagopvang niet noodzakelijk. Ik heb zelf om de week (oneven weken) een Italiaans windhondje (Spriet). Dus gezelligheid voor jouw viervoeter (wel belangrijk om van te voren eerst kennis te maken). Verder wonen wij vlakbij het (honden)strand en wonen we aan het zuiderpark in den haag. We zijn in het bezit van een auto en rijden graag naar leuke plekjes toe waar de honden lekker kunnen rennen.

“I highly recommend Irina as a dog sitter. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. My dog was calm and relaxed when I picked her up. I'll use her services again!”

“We left our cats to Cintia for one day due to some maintenance work at our house. She was amazing, super flexible, kept us updated and our cats felt at home right away. If we ever need her again, we’ll definitely call on Cintia!”
