Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Katwijk

“Bowie had a great time. Megan and her boyfriend were so sweet. They took really good care of him and send me a lot of updates while doing so. Highly recommanded!”

Over: I’ve been caring for cats for over 7 years and truly love spending time with animals. I have hands-on experience feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, understanding cat behavior, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for my friend’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. My husband, Islam, shares my love for animals and grew up in a home where his family cared for different pets. He is actively involved in caring for every pet that stays with us, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. We live in a spacious three-story house with plenty of indoor space for pets to relax and feel comfortable. Together, we provide a safe, calm, and loving environment, treating every pet like a member of our family while carefully following each owner’s care instructions. I currently spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My husband also helps me care for our guests, so your pet will rarely be alone. I follow each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious three story house with plenty of room for pets to relax indoors. Our home is clean, calm, and petfriendly. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. My husband and I work together to make sure every pet receives lots of attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment.

Over: Hoi, (Ter info: mijn tarief voor opvang met overnachting is altijd 25 euro. Rover.com past dit aan naar 30 als je in het hoofdseizoen boekt, maar dat lossen we samen wel op!) Mijn ervaring: Ik ben opgegroeid met kleine (asiel)hondjes thuis en in 2011 heb ik voor het eerst een maand vrijwilligerswerk gedaan in Spanje bij een hondenasiel. In de jaren daaropvolgend heb ik in verschillende buitenlandse asielen vrijwilligerswerk gedaan (zie foto's). Daar heb ik toen ook mijn eerste hondje geadopteerd toen ze 10 jaar oud was. Ik heb in 2019 een opleiding gedaan over hondengedrag en heb natuurlijk van mijn eigen hondjes ook veel geleerd. Mijn tweede hondje heb ik in 2020 geadopteerd, ook op latere leeftijd. Eind 2024 is zij overleden en sindsdien heb ik besloten om hondenoppas te worden, want ik miste het gezelschap wel! Ik heb dus veel ervaring met (oude) hondjes en heb zelfs nog een hondenbuggy hier thuis staan voor als jouw hondje wel mee wil op lange wandelingen, maar dat niet meer goed kan. Daarnaast werk ik ook als vrijwilliger elke vrijdag bij een hondendagopvang waar de honden in een groep samen zijn, waardoor ik nog meer leer over hondengedrag. Momenteel studeer ik thuis (Besluit Houders van Dieren; honden en katten) en werk ik een dag in de week als kinderoppas (10 en 12 jaar oud). Daar is de hond altijd welkom. Wat belangrijk is om te weten: Ik woon alleen en als de hond voor vakantieopvang naar mij toekomt, moet de hond wel even zonder stress alleen thuis kunnen zijn. Ik wil namelijk wel boodschappen kunnen doen of naar mijn dansles kunnen gaan zonder dat de hond dan thuis in paniek raakt. Honden zijn bij mij welkom in het hele huis, ook op de bank (samen een filmpje kijken is wel zo gezellig!). Ze mogen alleen niet op mijn bed komen, maar als je hondje blijft slapen dan staat er altijd een fijn hondenbed naast mijn bed (of zijn/haar eigen bed). Honden zijn natuurlijk groepsdieren en daar houd ik graag rekening mee. Ik ben het gewend dat ik ze overal mee naartoe neem in de auto en zo min mogelijk alleen laat. Ik vind het juist leuk als de hond overal mee naartoe kan.

“Hi Manuela Thank you so much for having Soof today. For us it was very nice to know that she had a lovely day during our party. Thanks for the pictures during the day so we could see how she was doing. It was the first time for us that we brought her and we hope very much that she is welcome to visit you again. We believe that she had a wonderfull day today. Thank you so much.”

Marschs L.

“Rouzbeh è stato disponibilissimo, mi ha inviato notizie e foto di Eddie, e ha reso questa mia prima esperienza su DogBuddy ottima. Grazie a lui e grazie al sito! 😊”

Rosaria L.

“Lucille was so lovely and good to Lily! She would update me with pictures every single day and let me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. She would ask questions to get to know Lily better and her routine which shows her attentiveness and care to the pets she looks after, would definitely recommend!”

Helen E.

“It was the first time we had someone look after our dog, who our dog was not familiar with, but all went very well. During the day we got photos and updates from Johan. Communication was perfect. He replied quickly to messages and was very flexible. We would definitely book him again. Thank you Johan!”

Over: Ik ben een grote dierenvriend en al jarenlang dé betrouwbare dierenoppas voor vrienden en familie. ik pas me makkelijk aan, afhankelijk van de wensen van uw hond/ kat. Is het een oudje? Dan kan ik lekker kroelen op de bank. Is de hond nog speels? Dan vind ik het heerlijk om een lange wandeling te maken en een balletje te gooien. Omdat ik ook graag reis en nog niet weet wat mijn plannen voor de komende jaren zijn, vind ik het niet verstandig om zelf een huisdier te nemen. Vandaar dat oppassen voor mij nu de beste optie is. Ik werk op het moment part time en donderdag is mijn vaste vrije dag. Dit zou de ideale dag zijn om op te passen. Het weekend is ook mogelijk, mits ik het op tijd weet en nog geen andere plannen heb. Ik woon zelf in een appartement met een balkon op de 3e verdieping. Er is geen lift en hiervoor moet je 6 trappen op. Voor de rest zou ik tijdens een oppasdag ervoor zorgen dat ik de hele dag beschikbaar ben en zoveel mogelijk tijd kan doorbrengen met de hond/ kat.

“Shea treated the dogs as if they were her own! Very happy dogs when I picked them up, would highly recommend”

Victoria S.

“Evika was amazing with our dog ! We were a bit nervous leaving our dog for the first time but after seeing what great time he had we were put immediately to ease, they responded fast send us updates and pictures, we could see how our dog was happy and comfortable the whole time, we will be for sure booking again in the future”

Over: All dogs are welcome! I spent my entire childhood surrounded by animals, mostly horses, but I have tons of love and compassion for dogs as well. I enjoy outdoors and am happy to take your dog out for a longer walk. I work part-time and study. I am flexible to take your dog for a walk in the evenings and weekends. Even besides these times, feel free to hit me up and check availability. I live in an apartment. Besides me, at home is also my fiance. We both really love animals and they are always welcome at our house. It’s a spacious and quiet place.

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: Hello and nice to meet you 😊 both me and my husband owned dogs in the past: we both had Rhodesian ridgebacks and an English Bulldog. We love dogs and we would love to get our kids to grow up more around animals and dogs. Our girls are aged 5, 7 and 8 so we’d love to host a dog who gets along with children :) Me and my husband are working from home on some days so we can be flexible! We are home most nights as we have kids, so overnight stay is not a problem. We have a small fenced garden, and enough room in the living area for a dog to chill. We will make sure the fur baby is comfortable!

Over: Ik heb zelf 3 katten gehad en ben daardoor van jongs af aan gewend aan hun verschillende karakters en behoeften. Ik heb veel ervaring met voeren, kattenbakken verschonen, spelen en natuurlijk genoeg aandacht en gezelschap geven. Ik weet ook dat de ene kat graag de hele dag bij je ligt, terwijl een andere liever wat meer zijn eigen gang gaat. Juist dat vind ik leuk aan katten, ieder heeft echt zijn eigen persoonlijkheid.

Over: I’ve been a devoted cat owner my whole life and understand just how much they need routine, comfort, and companionship — especially when you’re away. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring years of hands-on cat care experience: feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, medication if needed, and just knowing how to read a cat’s mood. Your cat will be in caring, attentive hands.

Over: I have grown up with cats in my home my whole life. I have always lived while taking care of my cats and those of friends and family. Even when away from my own cats I often find neighbours cats coming to spend time with me. I am calm and caring and spending time with a cat brings me genuine joy. I work part time, but can spend most of my time every day taking care of your cat and keeping them company. Your cat wouldn't just be provided basic care but genuine attention.

“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! ”

Rita R.

“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.”

Anthony R.

“It was my first time using the app cat in a flat and also meeting Sarah. We had a first initial meeting so Sarah could meet Bailey first and we also could get to know each other. While I was gone Sarah regularly gave me updates about my cats well being and took great care of her. I'll defintely will ask for her again ”

Over: Hallo! I'm Ji.

 Just graduated from Leiden. Back in China, I have two lovely cats 🐱🐱, so I totally get how important it is to treat pets like family. ✅ Cleaning & Sanitation Experienced in maintaining clean and hygienic spaces for animals from litter boxes to play areas. I volunteer weekly at the National Animal Care Foundation, where I clean and disinfect cat zones to ensure a healthy environment. 🧠 Basic Command Training (Dutch) I’m learning Dutch and already know essential dog commands like: · "Zit" (Sit) · "Blijf" (Stay) · "Kom" (Come) 🐱 Cat Care & Companionship As a cat owner myself, I’m attentive to feline needs whether it’s feeding, brushing, or just keeping them company. 📸 Photo & Update Reports I’ll gladly send you pics and updates during walks or visits so you know your pet is happy and safe!

“Wonderful experience. Marli took very good care of our cat while we were away. She was able to manage also the medication our cat had to take; litter box was cleaned; and Alma was happy with all the cuddles she got. ”

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

Over: Heel mijn leven hebben we thuis katten gehad. Ik heb al vaker gezorgd voor katten van bekende maar ook voor onbekende! Ik heb zelf ook een poes en dat is mijn beste vriendinnetje. Eten geven en er zijn voor de kat en om te spelen of lekker te knuffelen ben ik altijd voor in!

Over: Hoi! (see for English below) Mijn naam is Bo en ik ben momenteel 22 jaar oud, ik ben eind 2023 gestopt met mijn studie maar ga in 2025 starten met de studie sociaal werk. In de tussentijd werk ik bij de Hema en probeer ik nog wat bij te verdienen met oppassen op katten. Verder houd ik van rustige hobbies zoals lezen, schilderen, wandelen en foto’s maken. Ook heb ik zelf een kat, ze heet mimi. Ik en mijn vriend hebben haar in juni 2023 geadopteerd bij een asiel en we vinden het super leuk om voor haar te zorgen. Ik acht mezelf een betrouwbaar, aardig en rustig persoon en ik zou het leuk vinden om nieuwe katten (en katten eigenaars) te ontmoeten. Ik vind voor huisdieren zorgen in het algemeen erg leuk, ik hoop dat ik voldoende informatie heb gegeven om mij te overwegen als kattenoppas :) De service, in grote lijnen, die ik aan kan bieden is: - het eten geven van katten/andere dieren - medicijnen geven aan katten, ik heb dit zelf meermaals moeten doen, ben ook vaak genoeg gekrabt daardoor… - katten aandacht geven, wat natuurlijk erg belangrijk en ook leuk is! En ook spelen natuurlijk - kattenbak verschonen - updates sturen van hoe het met je dier gaat! - planten water geven - schoonmaken

Over: IMPORTANT: I have several regular clients who re-book outside of the app, through personal contact so my total completed booking number is more than stated on my profile. I’m very grateful for their trust, and they are keen to give references those who ask. Hi cat owners! I'm Derin. I did my bachelor's in Art History at Leiden University and am now doing my master's in Museum Studies at the University of Amsterdam while working in collection management at the Zaans Museum. I love cold weather, the smell of coffee and cinnamon at 7am, vividly hallucinating with my books, smelling the spot behind the ears of a cat and solo traveling. I’ve been a cat owner for over ten years. In total, my parents and I have cared for three cats, and we’re lucky to still share our lives with two of them. Like many cat families, we have the full spectrum of personalities: a fluffy cuddle-lover and a more gothic, distant–yet-affectionate soul. What has always amazed me about cats is the way they teach us to see companionship differently. Being together while each doing our own thing feels like the purest form of company. Their smallest moments of joy or excitement genuinely make my day. I don’t catsit for the money—which is also why I ask for the minimum possible price on the app—but because after spending a few years without cats, I realised just how much I missed their presence. I never mind going the extra mile when it’s in their best interest. Your cats’ happiness, comfort, and health are always my top priorities. I’m currently on track to finish my MA thesis and work part time in exhibition & artist operations, so I get to spare at least one hour for each visit to your cats. I always ask for emergency vet information and pet passports as well as any special needs or circumstances to look out for that are special to your cat. In case of indoor cats I open doors attentively and don’t leave large open windows. I pay attention to your cat’s eating, drinking and litter box habits.

Over: I’ve been caring for cats for over 7 years and truly love spending time with animals. I have hands-on experience feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, understanding cat behavior, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for my friend’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship.

“We had such a fantastic experience with Megan and her partner Ryenn! Before the booking, we did a pre-meet and it was clear right away that they were absolute naturals with dogs. Beanie, our mini Teckel/ Dachshund, loved them from the very first moment and that immediately put us at ease. Whilst we were away they stuck closely to Beanie’s routine, which I'm sure really helped her feel at home. They took her on walks, played with her, and showered her with attention. They even tried to walk her in the rain (despite her strong opinions about that!) — it just showed how committed and thoughtful they were in giving her the best care. We also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which reassured us that she was happy and in great hands. Beanie looked so comfortable and well-loved the whole time (we absolutely loved getting pictures of her curled up on the sofa with them! Just showed how much she loved them as she doesn't normally do that!). We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her and will 100% book them again. Highly recommended!”

Over: Hi everyone!
 My name is Divya, but you can call me Div :) Im from Spain and im ethnically Indian. I am 22 years old and I am doing my masters in clinical psychology at Leiden University.
 I’ve always taken care of caring for pets, whether it was friends' pets growing up or now spoiling my boyfriend’s cats! I treat every pet like my own babies, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away!
 I love both cats and dogs equally! And very open to love any other kinds of pets :) I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the first floor with a small fenced terrace (stairs only!), and my roommate is also a huge cat lover. 
If you have any questions or specific requests, feel free to text me! I’d love to care for your furry family member while you are away!☺️♥️ 
‼️Please keep my pet preferences in mind, as I can't take care of large dogs, and I do not speak Dutch‼️ I am currently studying full term, and only have 2 classes a week. Besides this I spend my time at home playing videogames or working on my thesis. I also hang out with friends, but when im taking care of a fur baby, I make sure that their needs are met first or even inviting my friends over to my place for them to get double the care and love☺️ I have taken care of both dogs and cats before, and I make sure to spend time around them and see what they feel comfortable with! With dogs, I would prefer to walk them in more quiet places or their usual trail to make them feel comfortable! And when taking care of pets at home, I make sure windows are always closed and never leave out any food or dangerous items!

Over: I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve been looking after pets for over 15 years, including my own dog as well as dogs and cats belonging to friends, family, and clients. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals requiring extra patience and attention. Having lived in both Canada and the UK, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I’ve recently relocated from London and am excited to continue offering reliable, attentive, and loving pet care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always aim to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Available to: - Comfortable administering medication - Experience with reactive or anxious dogs - Familiar with long walks, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement - Available for overnight stays, walks, or drop-in visits - Happy to send regular photo/video updates I’m not currently working, so I’ll have plenty of time with your dogs/cats! I’m have open availability for boarding, happy to pickup if need be as well. I have a fenced garden and one small dog of my own to help keep them company. I’m happy to have them sleep on the bed, but can also crate them if that’s what they are used to.

“We had a fantastic experience with Manuela. Not only was she extremely accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, but she also did a great job keeping us in the loop. We loved getting photos and a video showing how much fun our dogs were having. It made being away from our dogs so much easier. Highly recommend!”

“Rustige man en mijn hond Kees was gelijk op haar gemak. Bij thuiskomst niks aan haar gemerkt dat ze bij iemand anders was geweest. Fijne ervaring voor Kees en mij.”

Yvonne D.

Over: I grew up with dogs at home, so I understand them very well. For the past few years, I have been dogsitting for different people and in different parts of the world. I love going for walks and giving pets the attention they need. Your dog will be in safe and happy hands with me! The is a dog park right next to where I live. I also have a huge fenced area at home where they will be able to run free multiple times a day! :) I speak English and Dutch. I work remotely as a freelancer and manage my own hours. This makes me very flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs both inside and outside the house. Since I do not have any pets of my own, your dog will receive my full attention and have the entire space to themselves. I am very careful with safety and will always make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure in my home.

Over: Hoi! Ik ben Lucy, een echte dierenliefhebber met jarenlange ervaring in het verzorgen van zowel honden als katten van allerlei rassen, groottes en karakters. Ik vind dat huisdieren net zoveel liefde, geduld en aandacht verdienen als ieder ander gezinslid, en dat is precies wat ik bij elke boeking wil bieden. Of het nu gaat om lange wandelingen, lekker spelen, knuffelen of het aanhouden van de vaste routine van je huisdier: ik zorg ervoor dat jouw dier zich veilig, gelukkig en geliefd voelt wanneer jij er niet bent. Ik voel me op mijn gemak met allerlei soorten huisdieren, van energieke puppy’s tot oudere dieren die wat extra rust, aandacht of medicatie nodig hebben. I am currently working from home on my own hours so I have plenty of time to take care, play with and walk your amazing pet! When caring for pets in my flat, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. I live in a pet friendly flat near Battersea Park. Pets have plenty of space to play, nap, and get all the attention they need. When I’m looking after pets in their own home, I always follow your routines closely, from feeding times to walks and cuddles, to keep everything consistent and stress free. I keep my home tidy, your pet happy, and send regular photo updates so you always know how things are going!

“Amazing! Our puppy loved staying with Makiko and her husband. The communication was great and they followed our instructions to a T. Definitely recommend!”

Lotte O.

Over: Hi! We’re a couple with a lifelong love for dogs. We grew up surrounded by many different kinds of dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our life. Over the years, we’ve gained strong hands-on experience understanding dog behaviour, reading body language, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy in our care. We’re confident handling different personalities, from playful and energetic dogs to more calm and shy ones, and we always adapt to what each dog needs. We know every dog is unique, so we take time to understand their routine, energy level, habits, and personality before and during their stay or walk. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company and reassurance, we always make sure they feel relaxed and cared for as if they were our own. We also have a large garden with plenty of secure outdoor space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. There’s lots of room for exercise and fun, whether it’s running around, playing games, or just relaxing outside. Indoors, we have a spacious, comfortable, and clean environment where dogs can rest, sleep, and feel completely at home. Everything is kept safe and well maintained so your dog can feel calm and secure at all times. We also have access to water areas for dogs who enjoy swimming or cooling off, always supervised for safety. Before every booking, we’d love to learn about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so we can provide the best possible care. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to us. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend, create lots of happy memories together, and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for every step of the way! me and my partner work from home so we have plenty of time to keep the dogs company and give them attention,play, and love. We share our home with our friendly male Labrador, who enjoys the company of other dogs. We understand that every dog is different, so introductions are always done slowly and at your dog’s pace. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a little extra time to settle in, we have plenty of room to keep dogs comfortably separated while they adjust. As we both work from home, we’re able to give each dog individual attention, supervision, and care throughout the day, ensuring their routine and comfort always come first. i have a big fenced yard for dogs to run and play or relax, and a safe cozy inside with plenty of space for them, we have loads of toys beds and crates if needed

Over: Sinds mijn 11e zorg ik al voor honden en dit is alleen maar meer geworden sinds mijn ouders een labradoodle hebben. Deze is inmiddels 8 jaar en blijft geregeld slapen. Daarnaast pas ik ook op honden van vrienden. Dit zie ik echt als een passie omdat ik zelf niet in de gelegenheid ben om een hond fulltime te verzorgen vanwege mijn kantoorwerk. Momenteel heb ik veel tijd omdat mijn nieuwe functie 1 oktober dit jaar start. Ik ben dan ook zeer flexibel in mijn planning en sta ook open voor last minute verzoeken. Ik heb een appartement waar ik zo goed mogelijk voor jouw hond zal zorgen. Ik wil graag een vertrouwde omgeving creëren en snap dat dit per hond en karakter verschilt.

“As new dog-owners, we were quite nervous for his first time away from us, but these patient and experienced dog-sitters did an amazing job. Frequent updates and pictures were provided and we are sure our pup had a great time there! Highly recommended!”

Over: Ik ben eigenlijk al mijn hele leven omringd door dieren en zorg al sinds jongs af aan voor verschillende huisdieren. Zelf heb ik 3 katten, 2 honden en een hamster gehad. Daarnaast verzorg ik regelmatig cavia’s en heb ik momenteel zelfs 5 aquaria op mijn kamer. Ook vragen buren, vrienden en familie mij vaak om voor hun honden te zorgen. Ik laat ze uit, geef ze eten, speel met ze en zorg ervoor dat ze genoeg aandacht en gezelschap krijgen. Door mijn ervaring met zoveel verschillende dieren weet ik hoe belangrijk het is om goed naar ieder dier te kijken en rekening te houden met zijn eigen karakter en behoeften. Ik ben student en werk daarnaast als reservist bij Defensie. Hierdoor heb ik een flexibele planning en veel tijd om voor huisdieren te zorgen. Mijn studie kan ik grotendeels op mijn laptop doen, waardoor ik gemakkelijk thuis kan blijven en tussendoor genoeg tijd heb voor wandelingen, spelen, voeren en natuurlijk aandacht. Ik volg de instructies en gewoontes van het baasje zo goed mogelijk en zorg ervoor dat een dier zich rustig en op zijn gemak kan voelen. Ik let goed op tijdens wandelingen, houd deuren en ramen veilig gesloten en zorg dat voer, spullen en eventuele andere dieren geen risico vormen. Als een dier wat meer rust of ruimte nodig heeft, houd ik daar natuurlijk rekening mee.

Over: 🐾 Meet Caroline — Your Dog’s Second Best Friend (Right After You!) Hi there! I’m Caroline — lifelong animal lover, canine cuddler, and proud dog mom to two fabulous pooches: a golden retriever who thinks a he’s royalty and a street-smart rescue from India who insists a he’s the boss. From day one (literally, I was born into a pack), dogs have been my constant companions. Whether they’re big, tiny, hairy, hairless, drop-dead gorgeous or “only a face a mother could love,” I adore them all. If it barks, drools, or snuggles—I’m in. I offer dog walking and sitting with lots of love, attention, and belly rubs (for the dog—unless you’re into that too, in which case… boundaries!). Your pup will be treated like family while you’re off on vacation or surviving a marathon workday. 🐶 I specialize in: • All breeds and temperaments • Young, elderly, energetic or couch-potato types • Long walks, short walks, and sniff-inspection patrols • Extra love for dogs who think they’re lap-sized elephants Also: I love ALL animals (except maybe spiders… we’re still negotiating). Can’t wait to meet your furry friend and add a little joy to their day! While I’m currently between jobs, my days are anything but quiet. I’m a mom to two energetic school-age kids and two sweet dogs who insist on their daily walks, rain or shine. My weekdays are structured around school pickups and pup patrols, which makes pet care a natural part of my routine. I’m available throughout the day, plus evenings and weekends—thanks to my supportive husband who takes over kid-duty during those times. Whether your furry friend needs a midday walk, some playtime while you’re away, or a bit of extra love in the evenings, I’d be happy to help. 🐾 Reliable, caring, and flexible—just like a good leash. Let me know what your pet needs! When I care for your pet in your home, I bring warmth, attention, and a deep commitment to their well-being. I make sure your furry friend feels safe and relaxed by keeping to familiar surroundings, routines, and comforts. I take time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs, so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. You’ll always know how things are going—I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, engaged, and lovingly looked after. Whether it’s walks in safe, dog-friendly areas or cozy cuddle sessions indoors, I treat every animal like part of my extended family. Your trust means everything, and I honor it with genuine care, responsibility, and a touch of joy in every visit.

Over: I’ve been a devoted cat owner my whole life and understand just how much they need routine, comfort, and companionship — especially when you’re away. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I bring years of hands-on cat care experience: feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, medication if needed, and just knowing how to read a cat’s mood. Your cat will be in caring, attentive hands. Cats are already a daily part of my life — I have my own cat at home, so feeding, litter care, and playtime are already built into my routine. For drop-in visits, I bring that same attentiveness: making sure your cat is fed, has fresh water, a clean litter box, and some quality playtime or cuddles before I go. It’s not an add-on to my day — it’s already how I live. For drop-in visits, I follow your cat’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep things stress-free. That means feeding on schedule, refreshing water, scooping the litter box, and spending real one-on-one time playing or cuddling — not just a quick in-and-out. I pay close attention to appetite, litter habits, and general behavior, since changes can be an early sign something’s off, and I’ll always update you with a message or photo after each visit. I treat every home and cat with the same respect and care I’d want for my own.

“Angel is een hele aardige rustige oppas. Ze heeft veel geduld en heeft goed naar ons hondje gekeken. We zouden haar weer kiezen als we een oppas nodig hebben.”

Ulla L.

Over: I’ve been caring for cats for over 7 years and truly love spending time with animals. I have hands-on experience feeding, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, understanding cat behavior, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for my friend’s dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. My husband, Islam, shares my love for animals and grew up in a home where his family cared for different pets. He is actively involved in caring for every pet that stays with us, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. We live in a spacious three-story house with plenty of indoor space for pets to relax and feel comfortable. Together, we provide a safe, calm, and loving environment, treating every pet like a member of our family while carefully following each owner’s care instructions. I currently spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My husband also helps me care for our guests, so your pet will rarely be alone. I follow each pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We live in a spacious three story house with plenty of room for pets to relax indoors. Our home is clean, calm, and petfriendly. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions. My husband and I work together to make sure every pet receives lots of attention, affection, and a safe, loving environment.

Over: I’m a dog mom myself, my little one is currently with my family while I’m living abroad, and I genuinely miss having a dog by my side every day. That’s exactly why I love pet sitting. It gives me a chance to give dogs the affection and attention they deserve. I’m patient, caring, and very attuned to animals’ needs. For me this isn’t a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Since I’m currently fully focused on finishing my thesis, I have a very flexible schedule and high availability throughout the week. I can easily adapt to your dog’s routine, whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles and being present for them. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my absolute priority. I treat every dog I care for as if it were my own, because I know firsthand how much love and attention they need. I’m attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress or discomfort. I always make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. You’ll get updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while we enjoy our time together.

Over: I am a South African who relocated to the Netherlands. I currently live in Leiden Merenwijk with my husband and three cats. My father mainly trained dogs for the police, but also took in all kinds of neglected animals, from bunnies, to peacocks to monkeys. I grew up with a huge ginger cat (Genie AKA Kieter), and as an adult I adopted Gypsy the moment I had a pet-friendly place. Benji our bengal joined the family when I got married. Similarly, in the Netherlands we have adopted our cats, who have been such a pleasure to get to know. I am familiar with all tasks regarding cats such as feeding, grooming/brushing, playing, nail clipping, cleaning their litter boxes, etc. I am also comfortable to administer medicine if needed. I am very happy to take my cues from the pet, regarding if they want to be petted, play, eat, etc. I understand certain pets are slower to warm up and others are comfortable from the get go. I'll gladly listen to your requests and suggestions regarding your pet's needs and take it from there.

Over: I’m a student currently living in Leiden and a lifelong animal lover. I’m very familiar with medium and large-sized dogs, as I often help my friends and neighbors walk and take care of their dogs and I used to have a Border Collie–German Shepherd mix when I was a kid (sadly she’s already in heaven now). As a young person with passion and energy, I’m comfortable engaging dogs in active play such as fetch, frisbee, and tug-of-war to help them burn off energy in a healthy and enjoyable way, instead of just a normal “walk”. I’m currently a student so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. As a well-organized person, I always use my todo list to plan everything, including my pet care schedule. At a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully and prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I would make sure the pet has fresh water, appropriate food if required, and a clean environment. I would also spend time interacting with the pet based on its personality and needs, whether that means active play, gentle companionship, or simply keeping them calm and company. During walks, I would ensure the dog is always safely leashed and avoid risky situations with other animals or traffic. I would also pay attention to any signs of stress or discomfort and adjust my behavior accordingly.

Over: Hallo! I'm Ji.

 Just graduated from Leiden. 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.

Over: I am passionate about dogs and all dogs are my dear guests :) I am a musician and since I was a child I have lived with dogs and even cats, I live with my girlfriend and we also have an intelligent and very sociable male Border Collie ( What you see in profile picture). I am available for Dog-sitting and Dog-Walking services in my area and possibly other areas too (Write me talk about it) I also love playing with them so after the walk I will take your dog to one of the specific places for dogs in the area and let's play :) Sono appassionato dei cani e tutti i cani sono i miei cari ospiti :) sono musicista e da quando ero piccolo sono vissuto con i cani e anche i gatti , vivo con la mia ragazza e abbiamo anche un Border collie maschio moto intelligente e molto socievole (Quello che si vede in foto di profilo). Sono disponibile per i servizi di Dog-sitting e Dog-Walking nella mia zona e eventualmente anche altre zone (Scrivetemi ne parliamo) Amo giocare anche con loro quindi dopo la passeggiata porterò il tuo cane a uno dei posti specifici per i cani in zona e giochiamo :)

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: All dogs are welcome! I spent my entire childhood surrounded by animals, mostly horses, but I have tons of love and compassion for dogs as well. I enjoy outdoors and am happy to take your dog out for a longer walk. I work part-time and study. I am flexible to take your dog for a walk in the evenings and weekends. Even besides these times, feel free to hit me up and check availability. I live in an apartment. Besides me, at home is also my fiance. We both really love animals and they are always welcome at our house. It’s a spacious and quiet place.

“Hi Manuela Thank you so much for having Soof today. For us it was very nice to know that she had a lovely day during our party. Thanks for the pictures during the day so we could see how she was doing. It was the first time for us that we brought her and we hope very much that she is welcome to visit you again. We believe that she had a wonderfull day today. Thank you so much.”

Marschs L.

“Lucille was so lovely and good to Lily! She would update me with pictures every single day and let me know how she was doing which I really appreciated. She would ask questions to get to know Lily better and her routine which shows her attentiveness and care to the pets she looks after, would definitely recommend!”

Helen E.

“It was the first time we had someone look after our dog, who our dog was not familiar with, but all went very well. During the day we got photos and updates from Johan. Communication was perfect.

Over: Pets have always been a big part of my life. Growing up in the Philippines, I was surrounded by various pets: dogs, cats, and rabbits, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Since moving to the Netherlands in 2010, I have been caring for cats and dogs through house-sitting, dog walking, and cat-sitting. What makes my care special is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. When your furry friend stays with us, they become part of our family. My husband and I love spending time with pets, whether it’s taking them for lovely walks through the forest, along the nearby dykes, or to the beach for some fun and fresh air. At home, there is plenty of affection — cuddles on the sofa while we watch television are definitely part of the package! Since my husband and I work from home, your pet will have company and attention most of the day. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to adapt to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Depending on their needs and coat, I can also bathe and gently comb them. For me, pet sitting is more than simply looking after them —it’s about giving them companionship, affection, exercise, and a home-away-from-home experience. I would love to welcome your furry family member into our home and give them the same care and love I would want for my own pets. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting your beloved pet soon! I am currently working part-time, and thus have plenty of time to look after your fur babies. I'm looking forward to connecting with them. I have small frontyard and I live in three floor house and nearby a forest park for your fur-babies to roam around and spaces for nature walks and playing.

“Gabriella is amazingly good with dogs. Barney had a bit of difficulty adjusting to new sitter and place. But, Gabriella was super understanding and extremely patient. She also improved some of his pulling behavior. Regular updates and pictures kept us assured and also entertained. He came back home clean, groomed, happy and healthy. Definitely recommend and I am sure Barney would love to visit Gabriella and Phoebe again.”

Atashi M.

“Not only did David take the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, he was also communicative and sent so many pictures of Lunas stay. Luna was well taken care of and had plenty of room to stretch her legs and run around with Luna (David’s dog)! I will definitely be contacting David for any future stays.”

Evan M.

“%100 recommend Shreya. We had a 11 days trip and I left my dog with her. She is a quick response person and also sent me videos and photos every day. The videos and photos showed he was very happy with her sitter. And when I came back he was really happy and excited which means he had friendly and happy days with shreya. Of course we will back to her and choose her as the best sitter in the future.”

Over: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for family and friends for the past 10 years. I have a cat, and 2 dogs back home, and I miss them so much! I’d love to take care of your pet and treat them as my own! I work Tuesdays to Fridays. The rest of the week I am free and able to spend as much quality time as possible with your pet. I normally share the responsibility with my sister so based on our availability we’ll both be involved in the sitting. She works from home sometimes and has a background in veterinary studies. Normally I would walk the dog before leaving for work in the morning around 7am and again at 6pm when I am back from work. Normally I also would take them for a short walk before bed. If I am home or my sister is home, we add another walk midday. I live in an apartment that is perfectly safe for animals. There is one small flight of stairs that is carpeted to go to the rooms upstairs. Your pet is welcome in any of the rooms.

Over: Hello and nice to meet you 😊 both me and my husband owned dogs in the past: we both had Rhodesian ridgebacks and an English Bulldog. We love dogs and we would love to get our kids to grow up more around animals and dogs. Our girls are aged 5, 7 and 8 so we’d love to host a dog who gets along with children :) Me and my husband are working from home on some days so we can be flexible! We are home most nights as we have kids, so overnight stay is not a problem. We have a small fenced garden, and enough room in the living area for a dog to chill. We will make sure the fur baby is comfortable!

“Alyssa est très rassurante et tout s'est très bien passé ! Merci <3”
