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.”

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: Ik heb ruime ervaring met het uitlaten en verzorgen van honden. Ik weet hoe belangrijk het is dat een hond niet alleen beweging krijgt, maar zich ook veilig en op zijn gemak voelt tijdens een wandeling. Elke hond heeft een eigen karakter en behoeften, en ik pas onze aanpak daarop aan. Of het nu gaat om een energieke hond die lange wandelingen nodig heeft of een rustige hond die liever op zijn eigen tempo loopt, ik bied altijd de juiste zorg en aandacht. Geduld, liefde en verantwoordelijkheid staan bij mij voorop, zodat zowel de hond als het baasje tevreden is. Momenteel werk ik part time, meer en deels thuis. Door mijn mogelijkheid heb ik ruimte om voor een extra hond te verzorgen en het bieden van activiteiten Ik woon in een apartment 2e verdieping (1 trap). Ik heb een ruime woonkamer waar de honden kunnen spelen en daarnaast heb ik een prachtige grote park naast ons huis waar de honden goed kunnen spelen & activiteiten.

“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.

Over: I have always been loving and patient towards cats and dogs. I have my own cat - Pera who is sadly in Türkiye so I thought in the mean time I’ll spend some time with new friends. I’ll provide them with a fun time and some snacks (for food I’d like you to provide it so that there are no complications!) I am available for every service in Leiden + @ Den Haag Moerwijk I can take your dogs on a walk or take care of your little friends @ your place. I am currenty doing a remote internship and I’m looking for a job do basically… I am unemployed and home all day :’) That is why I can spend the whole day with your furry friends! I already live in a safe environment (near Leiden Lammenschans) here we have lots of greenery where me and your pet pal take a safe walk outside, get some fresh air. My house is basically empty because I’m gonna move soon, so there is nothing to worry about haha. It is pretty safe and clean.

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.

Over: Hi! I'm Jeroen and I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs/other pets, so I know exactly how to handle different personalities. I have experience with labradoodles. Because I am saving up for a great holiday in August, I have organized my summer so that I have extra time to give your four-legged friend all the love and attention they deserve. I am patient, reliable, and will happily send you daily photo updates. My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available on weekends. Plenty of time for long walks! I am happy to adapt my routine to the needs and schedule of your pet. I live in a house in a quiet and green neighborhood. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely sniff around and play. There are parks a few minutes away as well.

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.

“Ik ben heel blij dat ik Rouzbeh gevonden heb voor het oppassen op Seb, Seb heeft een hele fijne tijd gehad en het voelde vertrouwd om Seb bij Rouzbeh te brengen! Ik kreeg dagelijks updates en fotos van Seb en dat was heel erg geruststellend! Kortom 5 sterren!”

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.

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: 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: Hi! I'm Giulia originally from Italy and living in Leiden. I adore looking after dogs and cats so I'm available to help:) I can work from home if necessary so my schedule is flexible. I live in a central area full of quiet roads, lot's of green areas perfect for long walks. Feel free to ask questions! I can work from home if necessary so my schedule is flexible. My hours are office standard 9-6 so the long long walks would be early in the morning and in the evening. I live in a central area full of quiet roads, lot's of green areas perfect for long walks.

Over: Ik heb mijn hele leven honden gehad (klein en groot), dus ik heb passie en ervaring met het verzorging van honden. Als het gaat om wandelen, voeding, speeltijd of gewoon gezelschap, ik zorg ervoor dat jouw hond zich veilig en gelukkig voelt. Voor mij is het belangrijk om jouw hond dezelfde aandacht en zorg te geven die ik mijn eigen hond geef, zodat je met een gerust hart weg kunt gaan😊 Ik werk doordeweeks overdag en ben in het weekend vrij. Na mijn werk ben ik thuis met mijn eigen hond en in het weekend ben ik volledig beschikbaar. Ik woon op de eerste verdieping met een afgesloten balkon. Het complex is huisdier-vriendelijk en de meeste van mijn buren hebben ook honden. Er zijn verschillende parken in de buurt, een hondvriendelijk strand en een losloopgebied met hekjes. Er zijn dus veel mogelijkheden voor honden om te wandelen, spelen, en als gewenst, met andere honden te socializen. Je liefdiertje zou in goede handen zijn!

Over: I have been taking care of pets, specifically dogs, for as long as I can remember. When it comes to general health, love and attention, and just companionship 🐾🩷 I have a part time job, only twice a week. So I have plenty of free time to love your pets and get some exercise 😃 I have a safe home with a lovely space for the fur babies to relax. No loud noises and or bright lights. Soft toys too 🧸

“Joy did an excellent work with our cat while we were out of town for a couple of days. Great communication, we got pictures and/or videos every day and our cat seemed very happy with her. We highly recommend her!”

Didier

“Dagmara heeft onze oude kater Sammy 3 dagen een fijn bezoekje gegeven. Geknuffeld en verzorgd. We zijn blij met haar leuke verhalen en de foto's. Bij onze volgende vakantie komen we zeker bij haar terug!”

René S.

“Jelena is a wonderful person! She treated our cat with love and care for 2 weeks while we were on holiday. She kept us up to date very often and took excellent care of our beloved cat. Both our cat and us were very comfortable, calm and happy!”

Andrea D.

“Derin is fantastic! She treated our cat Artoo with such care and affection, sending us many photos and video during each visit. She even went the extra mile by vacuuming up cat hair! Our cat was in great hands and, when we came back, we found him relaxed and happy. We couldn't have asked for more! Highly, highly recommended!”

Selene G.

Over: I adopted Pera from a shelter 4 years ago. He was a very shy boy in the beginning but got warmed up to me and my family in such a short amount of time. I took care of him for three years but because I moved to the NL we’ve been away from each other for 1 year now :’(( I miss him so much so I’ll take care of your furry friends with the utmost care, attention and love!

“Je recommande les services d’Ivory. Très à l’écoute et professionnelle. Merci beaucoup!”

Emilie K.

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

Nienke P.

“Matylda is a perfect pet friend, she has taken care of our little cat Zuko and we were so happy to receive pics of a happy, relaxed and satisfied cat! We’d certainly recommend Matylda!”

“Ella was absolutely amazing in taking care of our 2 cats. They both felt very comfortable with her and we were very reassured that she came to take care of them! We will undoubtely ask her to keep our cats again!”

Alban G.

Over: Hi there! I’m currently pursuing my PhD in LUMC. I’ve always had a deep love for cats—the calm, curious, and affectionate companions they are. The adorable cat in my profile picture is Dumi, my 1-year-old Siberian Forest Cat who lives with me here. Caring for Dumi every day has taught me a lot about cat behavior, diet, and emotional needs. I understand that every cat is unique, and I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort zones. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, feeding, or medication, I will make sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away. I have experience with: • Feeding routines and special diets (incl. dry food, canning food, barf, freeze-dried food) • Litter box cleaning and hygiene • Playtime and enrichment • Caring for shy or anxious cats • Basic medication (if needed) I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind. I’d love to offer my help to fellow cat parents and make sure your furry friend is well taken care of while you’re away. 🐾

“Megan did an outstanding job with two of my dogs while I was out of town. On time daily and sent pics each time she visited. Megan always stayed in contact with me to update on how the dogs where doing. Will definitely be using her again. Highly Recommend.”

“Ben heel tevreden over inzet Akke, goede communicatie en alles zag er prima uit na thuiskomst + heel tevreden katten wat natuurlijk het belangrijkste is!!”

Henriette S.

Over: I've taken care of cats for the past few years (aside having one myself). I watched my neighbours and friend's cat when on vacation, including giving medicine and general care

“Jara heeft geweldig op onze kat James gepast. Mede door de fijne dagelijkse foto’s en filmpjes hebben ons geen seconde zorgen hoeven maken over hoe het met hem ging. Ook ons huis zag er tip top uit toen we weer thuis kwamen. Dankjewel Jara! 🙏🏻”

Dagmar R.

Over: I am a PhD candidate at Leiden University and live alone there. I helped rescues in Iran and have fostered four cats and four dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals as they are pure love. As I travel a lot, I can not adopt a pet right now, so I prefer to foster others’ pets or do some pet sitting.

“Super oppas! Soek Hwa heeft ruimt drie weken op mijn poes Shooby gepast. Shooby is normaal heel verlegen, maar Soek Hwa vertrouwde ze al heel snel en ze durfde helemaal zichzelf te zijn. Tijdens mijn vakantie kreeg ik veel updates en foto’s, dat maakte mijn vakantie heel ontspannen. Ik kon echt zien dat Shooby het goed naar haar zin had!”

Walter k.

“Maria took wonderful care of our cat for six nights while we were away. She was extremely professional, reliable, and genuinely caring throughout the entire stay. She made sure to give our cat his medication religiously and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was completely relaxed, comfortable, and clearly very well looked after. It's obvious that Maria truly loves animals and goes the extra mile to ensure they feel safe and happy. We would not hesitate to recommend her and would happily entrust her with our cat again in the future. Thank you, Maria!”

Sara V.

“Sofia was great with our two cats from day 1! We got regular pictures and updates. She was very responsive, so we could feel secure about the cats the entire time!”

Over: Hi! I'm a master student studying Cognitive Neuroscience at Leiden University and am working as a barista as well ☕ After living in Japan for 15 months and being severely cat-deprived, I decided to sign up here to get to meet some local cats! Growing up my family has always had cats, and I still love to go back to my parents' place to see my anxious, screamy, and very orange cat Gringo :) I often cat-sit for friends and friends' friends, and am a cat cafe connoisseur ☕ My whole family are big cat lovers and me & my siblings got matching cat tattoos :) My favorite type of cats are old scruffy ones, but all cats are welcome of course!

“Jane saved us last minute, took our 3 labradors and took great care of them. Very friendly. Sent pictures, all good”

Lisa W.

“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!

“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!”

Over: I grew up with dogs at home, so I understand them very well. For the past few years, I have been pet sitting 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 area I live is surrounded with nature :) 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.

“first time for daycare with Makiko and Hana. Makiko shared updated of Please during her time indoor and when going for a walk. Also, Makiko was very nice to be flexible with the time as we were slightly late to pick up.”

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.

“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.”

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 :)

“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!”

“I’ve had a great experience with Megan walking my dog Tony. She is very considerate and communicative. She took the time to meet Tony beforehand and asked questions about his personality and needs. During her walk with Tony she kept me updated and afterwards she sent a report with lots of beautiful photos. Will definitely ask her to take care of Tony more often.”

Over: My whole life I have lived with pets, even with owning several at the same time, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and others, all with different temperaments. I am able to perform any animal-related tasks, including walking, feeding, giving medicine, playing, cleaning after, etc. I am a full-time psychology student, which allows ms very flexible weekly schedule. Additionally, I am homebody, so I can spend a lot of time indoors. However, on top of that I love being outdoors on walks and runs, during all times of the day. I have a cosy, small studio apartment in the city center, without any roommates nor animals present. The surrounding area outside is in close proximity to nature areas and dog parks.

Over: I have always been loving and patient towards cats and dogs. I have my own cat - Pera who is sadly in Türkiye so I thought in the mean time I’ll spend some time with new friends. I’ll provide them with a fun time and some snacks (for food I’d like you to provide it so that there are no complications!) I am available for every service in Leiden + @ Den Haag Moerwijk I can take your dogs on a walk or take care of your little friends @ your place. I am currenty doing a remote internship and I’m looking for a job do basically… I am unemployed and home all day :’) That is why I can spend the whole day with your furry friends! I already live in a safe environment (near Leiden Lammenschans) here we have lots of greenery where me and your pet pal take a safe walk outside, get some fresh air. My house is basically empty because I’m gonna move soon, so there is nothing to worry about haha. It is pretty safe and clean.

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.

“Ivory est géniale et super attentionnée, elle a pris soin de Clyde du début à la fin et m’a tenue au courant de tout. Vous pouvez faire appel à elle les yeux fermés.”

Over: I can provide a compassionate loving care for your cats/dogs and any other pets while you are away. I have been a pet owner all my life and have an extensive knowledge about how to care compassionately for different types of animals. I am trustworthy and reliable person with effective communication skills via any preferred apps, and am flexible to any required needs for your furry friend to make him/her feel comfortable while you are away.

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:

“Joy is very patient and understanding of our dog's special needs and does a great job of keeping her happy, exercised and under control. Her communication is great and I always know what is going on. Thanks for taking care of Dulce!”

Over: I've had dogs since I was 6, always walking them, playing and giving them belly rubs. Since a few years now, I've been loving cats as well. I took care of my neighbours cats every time he went on vacation as well as my friend's cat. I recently adopted one myself! I'm currently working 3-4 days a week so I have the whole weekend plus Monday free to care for your paw friend. I love walking in nature, cuddling and playing with them and can do that at any time during the weekend while on Monday only until 17. I always check the environment for safety, although I'm sure you already have a perfectly safe home for them, so that mostly matters if there is any change in the environment (something breaking for example)

Over: I've taken care of my own dog, Charlie, now a 9-year-old English Pointer, since I was 14 years old. He required a lot of exercise (walks twice a day) but also due to other complications being a purebred dog, he needed a lot of attention and care, as well as medication twice a day for the past 6 years. I also have experience with cats, as I grew up with a Siamese and Burmese (both purebred, and have very strong but different personalities), which I then had the joy of experiencing taking care of two litters of kittens with my Burmese cat. Thereafter I have fostered puppies (range of ages from 3 and a half weeks old to 1 year old) for 5 years for multiple dog organisations. I have dog sat for a family that had a very old and blind dog, whom needed special care as he was blind and needed help getting outside, which I would do early every morning. I also completed a job shadow of a nurse in a veterinary practice, which needed caring, teamwork and interacting with pet-owner clients. I have experience ranging from very young dogs and cats to very old, and also those who require a lot of attention and those who do not. I am currently a masters student at Leiden University. I study full-time, but as my program is predominantly self-study I have a lot of free time in which I am available to play and look after your pets! I am free most weekdays and the weekend (except some Sundays during the day). I am very easy going and comfortable with pets of all ages. I am deeply passionate about helping and working with animals and I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity I get to spend time with them!

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 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).

Over: I have experience taking care of dogs. My responsibilities included feeding, daily walks, playtime, and making sure the dog felt safe and comfortable at home. I also paid attention to the dog’s routine, gave fresh water, cleaned feeding areas, and provided lots of affection and patience. I am responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am organized and plan my schedule in advance. I make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention and affection. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks are already part of my routine. I am flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the space is clean, safe, and free of any hazards.

“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.”

Over: Ik heb ruime ervaring met het uitlaten en verzorgen van honden. Ik weet hoe belangrijk het is dat een hond niet alleen beweging krijgt, maar zich ook veilig en op zijn gemak voelt tijdens een wandeling. Elke hond heeft een eigen karakter en behoeften, en ik pas onze aanpak daarop aan. Of het nu gaat om een energieke hond die lange wandelingen nodig heeft of een rustige hond die liever op zijn eigen tempo loopt, ik bied altijd de juiste zorg en aandacht. Geduld, liefde en verantwoordelijkheid staan bij mij voorop, zodat zowel de hond als het baasje tevreden is. Momenteel werk ik part time, meer en deels thuis. Door mijn mogelijkheid heb ik ruimte om voor een extra hond te verzorgen en het bieden van activiteiten Ik woon in een apartment 2e verdieping (1 trap). Ik heb een ruime woonkamer waar de honden kunnen spelen en daarnaast heb ik een prachtige grote park naast ons huis waar de honden goed kunnen spelen & activiteiten.

“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: Hi! I'm Jeroen and I am a huge animal lover. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs/other pets, so I know exactly how to handle different personalities. I have experience with labradoodles. Because I am saving up for a great holiday in August, I have organized my summer so that I have extra time to give your four-legged friend all the love and attention they deserve. I am patient, reliable, and will happily send you daily photo updates. My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available on weekends. Plenty of time for long walks! I am happy to adapt my routine to the needs and schedule of your pet. I live in a house in a quiet and green neighborhood. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely sniff around and play. There are parks a few minutes away as well.

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.

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: 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: Hi! I'm Giulia originally from Italy and living in Leiden. I adore looking after dogs and cats so I'm available to help:) I can work from home if necessary so my schedule is flexible.

Over: Ik heb mijn hele leven honden gehad (klein en groot), dus ik heb passie en ervaring met het verzorging van honden. Als het gaat om wandelen, voeding, speeltijd of gewoon gezelschap, ik zorg ervoor dat jouw hond zich veilig en gelukkig voelt. Voor mij is het belangrijk om jouw hond dezelfde aandacht en zorg te geven die ik mijn eigen hond geef, zodat je met een gerust hart weg kunt gaan😊 Ik werk doordeweeks overdag en ben in het weekend vrij. Na mijn werk ben ik thuis met mijn eigen hond en in het weekend ben ik volledig beschikbaar. Ik woon op de eerste verdieping met een afgesloten balkon. Het complex is huisdier-vriendelijk en de meeste van mijn buren hebben ook honden. Er zijn verschillende parken in de buurt, een hondvriendelijk strand en een losloopgebied met hekjes. Er zijn dus veel mogelijkheden voor honden om te wandelen, spelen, en als gewenst, met andere honden te socializen. Je liefdiertje zou in goede handen zijn!
