Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Wassenaar

“Een super toffe, fijne ervaring voor zowel Bonnie als voor ons. We konden met een gerust hart op reis. Elke dag leuke foto’s en video updates van alle sportieve en gezellige avonturen die Bon meemaakte die dag. Zelfs nu ze bijna elf is. Dit geeft voor mij aan hoe fijn ze het heeft gehad en dat er erg goed voor haar gezorgd is. Een aanrader voor elk hondenbaasje! We zullen binnenkort weer een boeking plaatsen. Onwijs bedankt 🙏”

Georgi P.

“Banjer heeft een super fijn verblijf gehad bij Bram en zijn gezin. Er was veel aandacht voor hem en hij heeft veel knuffels van de kinderen gektegen. Hij is in die week echt onderdeel van het gezin geweest. Wij hadden ons geen beter verblijf voor Banjer kunnen wensen.”

“%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.”

Negar S.

“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.”

They also tried to respect as much as possible Livi's routines, so she could feel easy and safe. Overall, a 10 of experience 🙏♥️”

Over: I’ve had a German Shepherd since I was 5 years old. I grew up with her and took care of her, including going on long walks, taking her to different trainings, and simply feeding her and loving her. I am experienced with taking care and showing love to different types of dogs. I am currently a third-year law student. I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your pets, going on walks and playing with them. I am available for boarding on the weekends and throughout the week. I live in a lovely family neighbourhood, which offers great variety of parks and playgrounds for pets. I would love to take your pet out on a play date and show them love and fun times.

“Ekin took wonderful care of Fidget. Communication was excellent throughout, everything was easy and stress‑free, and Fidget was clearly very comfortable with her. We came home to a happy dog — thank you, Ekin.”

Jeremy B.

“We loved Jordana from the moment we met her! Tommy had such a great time with her and she was so kind and responsive ❤️ so glad we found her!”

Martina M.

“Ella appears to have had a lovely time with Michael and his family - and came back looking very well and in good spirits. Communication was excellent and it was great to get regular photos and feedback as to how she was doing. Will certainly use Michael again. 😊”

Julia B.

“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.”

Klaudia B.

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: Met 7 jaar toegewijde ervaring in kattenverzorging begrijp ik dat elke kat een unieke persoonlijkheid heeft. Of je harige vriend nu een knuffelige schootkat is of een verlegen ontdekkingsreiziger die wat ruimte nodig heeft, ik weet precies hoe ik hen een veilig en liefdevol gevoel kan geven. Ik bied aandachtige zorg, inclusief nauwkeurig voeren, vers water, een perfect schone kattenbak en natuurlijk voldoende rustige speeltijd. Ik behandel je kat alsof het mijn eigen familie is, zodat je met een gerust hart van huis kunt vertrekken.

“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. ”

Cátia F.

Over: I grew up with dogs and have two of my own, who aren’t with me right now and who I miss a lot. My first dog was a rescue; she took a lot of time to adapt. They've both also had times where they needed medical attention, so if there's anything you need me to know or any medication your pet needs to take, I will be more than happy to help! Also, my second dog ellie she used to be impossible to handle, always ripping everything from shoes to clothes, so we trained her, and now she's great, she doesn't rip anything, and she learned to pee only on walks instead of in the house! I’m 19 and originally from Brazil, and I’ve lived in a few different places. I’m currently a university student studying law, which means I have a structured schedule but also plenty of free time. I normally have Tuesday, Friday, Saturday’s and Sunday’s of and most of my classes are for around an hour or two. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, whether it’s keeping them company or taking them on walks. I’m responsible, easy-going, and happy to welcome all pets into my home. I have real experience caring for dogs as a pet owner myself, so I understand how important trust and consistency are. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable.

“Mijn katten en papegaaien hebben een topvakantie gehad met Camila. Ik kon mijn dieren met een gerust hart achterlaten. Elke dag kreeg ik een update met foto’s en ik kon zien dat de dieren bij haar op hun gemak waren. Fijn om een betrouwbare oppas in huis te hebben!”

Dave Nicole V.

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

Nienke P.

“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.

“Sterre heeft een weekje op onze lieve Britse korthaar katers gepast en het is ons echt super goed bevallen! De communicatie is top, na elk bezoekje kregen wij een update met foto’s en filmpjes en zelfs het huis was net zo netjes achtergelaten als voordat wij op vakantie gingen. Wij zullen Sterre zeker nog een keer vragen om op onze lieve katjes te passen!”

Shannon D.

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: 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

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.

Over: With years of professional experience and a certification in dog training, I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for every dog I meet. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to walk and host their dogs. I also worked as a professional dog walker and sitter for a company in Amsterdam for several years alongside my studies. Today, I’m a certified dog trainer and walker through Laura Dog Training. I work remotely most days, giving me time to spend with my dogs, Uruz and Rambo, and their friends staying over. We do at least 3 walks a day - morning before my work, at lunch time and a long one in the afternoon ! I also like to take ‘play-breaks’ - short breaks from work to play with the doggos :) I live in an apartment where they have access to the full house, but keeping them mostly in the living room where I work so I can always keep an eye on them. They are allowed on the sofa, except if you trained them not to, of course.

Over: Drawing from my extensive pet sitting experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including Pomeranians, cats and Retriver dogs. These delightful furry companions have taught me valuable lessons about patience, adaptability, and the unique needs of different breeds. I like spending time with dogs and can certainly take care of your pet with love. As my family is on holiday in home country presently, I have more time and space on this hobby so feel free to contact me if you want to catch up. Your fur baby will receive personalized attention, walks, and belly rubs. I have flexible work timings and some free week days so I can definitely fit in daily or weekly routine of your pet as needed. We don't have garden but dog park is next to our apartment so we can guarantee safe environment for your pet and also ensure big hall in our apartment for playing

Over: Cats have always been part of my life, ever since I was a child. My family has always had several cats at home, and I grew up learning to understand their language, their habits and their different personalities. Over the years, I’ve learnt that a cat needs respect, patience and time to trust you, especially when it’s shy or in an unfamiliar environment. I’m comfortable with cats of all temperaments: the most affectionate ones seeking attention, the more independent ones who prefer their peace and quiet, and also the more reserved cats who need a gentle, gradual approach. I take the time to observe their behaviour so that I can respect their pace and their needs. During home visits or cat-sitting, I make sure to maintain their routines: meals, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, moments of interaction or simply a reassuring presence. My aim is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed and respected whilst you’re away. I’ll of course keep you updated with news, photos and videos so you can set off with peace of mind.

“Koen en vriendin Karen zijn hele lieve verantwoordelijke oppassers voor je huisdieren, alle geduld en aandacht, foto updates en huis zelfs gestofzuigd, wat wil je nog meer 🤩👍. Ik raad ze dan ook van harte aan voor als je een oppas zoekt die in je huis verblijft.”

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Makiko, I am from Tokyo, Japan. I live in Leiden, Hoge Mors area. 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 animals in Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands taking care of my pets, friends' cats&dogs and neighborhood furry friends! 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). Just let me know what life style your cat prefers and I will follow your instructions. I am looking forward to reading from you and I wish you a great day. Makiko p.s. Prices for pet sitting are just a reference, so please contact me and let's discuss about. The rate can change accordingly to how long your pet needs my assistance. Thank you for your understanding.

“Very reliable and friendly. Micky our cat likes her a lot, she even sits on Biyuns lap. She doesn’t do that so quick by strangers. Good communication and we received many pictures and videos. It was nice to hear Micky purr.”

Louise K.

Over: (🗣️NL, ENG, PL) I have a degree in Animal Science, and attended an internship at a veterinary clinic and zoological garden. I’ve worked at an animal shelter/ senior house, thus my experience with working with dogs and cats can assure you, your beloved once will be in good hands :). Animals have always been a huge part of my life. At my parents house I used to take care of our 7 dogs, which I’ll be happy to talk about more when we meet :) Furthermore I’m a traveller and have an social and outgoing but calm personality. Please, do not hesitate and contact me via direct text message. This way we can plan the visit individually, to your and your pet’s needs. For me pets are part of the family and I approach them each and everyone with the same amount of care, based accordingly on their individual needs.

Over: I have taken care of friends dogs on multiple occasions, with them staying over night. I also enjoy walking a dog for as long as they need. I also have experience with seniour dog care. I currently work 2 times a week from home and have weekends free, so I can keep your pet company full time during those 4 days. I have a protected balcony and access to 3 parks nearby my home, so I am happy to take your pet on a walk for as long as needed. To avoid hurting the dog, I have a preference to carrying them upstairs.

“Kipper had a wonderful stay with Shreya and we would for sure recommend Shreya! Communication with her was exceptional, gave updates and very responsive to messages. 10/10. Kipper hopes to see you again soon! Many thanks, Steffan & Emma”

Lutgarde V.

Over: Hello everyone!

 I am Basma, a 27-year-old professional living and working in the Netherlands. I moved to the Netherlands back in 2019 for my master studies at Leiden University, and started working since 2021 upon graduation. My journey from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the serene parks of Den Haag to the charming canals of Amsterdam has been an exciting and amazing adventure. 

 My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my deep love for dogs and my commitment to their well-being, and the fact that I cannot have my own doggy in the near future :-(((((. I genuinely desire to ensure that pets receive the best care and love that they deserve, even when their owners are away for holidays/busy with work. I always try my best to understand and empathize with the anxiety pet owners feel when they have to leave their furry family members behind, and I strive to provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for every dog I care for. Luckily my work is super flexible and I can work from home at any time if I want, meaning I can be with dogs 24/7 if needed.

 In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, being a pet sitter allows me to meet wonderful pet owners and become a trusted part of their lives. It's a rewarding experience that combines my love for dogs with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships within the community especially now I'm trying to be more extroverted.
 Last but not the least, I always respect different personalities different dogs have, so please share as much information as possible about your (and my upcoming) friend when reaching out.

 Environment & Services
 I live in a quiet and comfortable apartment by myself near Den Haag Centraal Station, nearby which there is a gaint park where I can always see a lot of people walking their dogs. As a bonus, there is also a deer park. I prefer to walk our fluffy friends there in the park, or somewhere nearby if he/she has a 'go-to' place :-)  

Good to know 
- I can go for walks 1-3 times per day (morning & afternoon), at least 30 minutes each time, or longer if needed.  
- For day care & one-night boarding (1 dog only): I will be with the dog the whole day; For multiple-night boarding (1 dog only), I can be with the dog all the time except when I need to do grocery shopping (max. 1 hour). (My job doesn't require me to work from the office, so I can be with the dog as much as needed) 
- Dogs can stay in every corner of my apartment except my bed! 
 - Home visits take approx. 30 mins (can be longer if needed upon consultation), and I'm also willing to water plants :-)

 Language

 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions! Until the day we meet, hope you and your small family member enjoy every moment of your life :-) Luckily my work is super flexible and I can work from home at any time if I want, meaning I can be with dogs 24/7 if needed.

“Wat een fijne oppas voor onze Jack! Gabriella is niet alleen rustig en warm maar ook nog eens heel kundig, ze heeft echt verstand van honden. Heel blij mee!”

Selma V.

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.

“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.

“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!”

Issy A.

Over: Hoi! Mijn naam is Bora, en samen met mijn vriendin woon ik in een rustig appartement in een groene buurt met veel parken en hondenspeelplekken in de directe omgeving. Omdat we allebei volledig vanuit huis werken, hebben we alle tijd en aandacht om goed voor jouw hond te zorgen. We hebben geen eigen huisdieren op dit moment, maar we hebben vroeger jarenlang honden gehad (Stafford en Herder) en missen die gezelligheid enorm. Daarom vinden we het heel leuk om af en toe voor een hond te mogen zorgen alsof het die van ons is. We hebben ervaring met allerlei soorten honden – klein tot middelgroot – en zorgen met veel liefde en aandacht voor hun dagelijkse behoeften: wandelen, spelen, gezelschap en knuffels. Grote of heel harige honden nemen we liever niet aan, om praktische redenen van ons appartement. We zijn redelijk flexibel met ophalen en brengen, en vinden het belangrijk dat zowel hond als baasje zich prettig voelt bij de kennismaking. Tijdens het verblijf houden we je graag op de hoogte met foto’s en updates. Lijkt het je wat? Neem gerust contact op voor een vrijblijvende kennismaking! Doordat we allebei volledig vanuit huis werken, vormt de verzorging van een huisdier geen extra taak, maar een natuurlijk onderdeel van onze dag. Er is vrijwel doorlopend iemand aanwezig in huis. Mocht een van ons een boodschap doen of de deur uit gaan, dan is de ander er gewoon. Dit betekent dat een kat of hond bij ons nooit uren alleen hoeft te zitten doordeweeks. We hebben alle flexibiliteit om vaste eet- en speeltijden stipt aan te houden, rustmomenten te bewaken en gedurende de dag alle aandacht en liefde te geven die het dier gewend is. Bij ons thuis: Onze woning ligt in een hele rustige, groene omgeving met volop parken vlak voor de deur. Omdat we zelf op dit moment geen huisdieren hebben, is ons appartement een veilige, overzichtelijke en stressvrije haven. Een huisdier heeft bij ons het rijk alleen en krijgt onze onverdeelde aandacht. We zorgen voor een schone, opgeruimde omgeving waar geen gevaarlijke spullen rondslingeren. Bij het baasje thuis (huisbezoek / oppas): We behandelen de woning en het huisdier van een ander met het hoogste respect. We volgen jouw instructies rondom voeding, verzorging en veiligheid (zoals deuren en ramen gesloten houden) exact op. Vertrouwen & Communicatie: Bij beide opties geldt: veiligheid en rust staan voorop. We bouwen het contact altijd rustig op in het tempo van het dier. Daarnaast sturen we dagelijks foto-updates en korte berichtjes, zodat je vanaf je vakantie- of werkadres precies ziet hoe goed en vertrouwd je huisdier in zijn vel zit.

“She was amazing! She fit me in last minute without an issue. She provided updates throughout the day to make sure I knew that my dog was in good hands. I plan to come to her again!”

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

“It was a really nice encounter and an enjoyable and pleasant stay for Toni. Always again. Thank you!”

Michael M.

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.

“Bruce has a great time with Jordana. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. I really appreciate the love and attention you gave Bruce. He looked so happy and well taken care of. I’m grateful for your help, even if it was just for a day. 😊 Hope we can count on you again in the future!”

Laura & Gabriel C.

“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!”

Paul H.

Over: I’ve always have dogs in my house since I was a baby, and the past two years I took care of a love vizla, took her for walks, play with her and feed her. I love going for nice walks (even if it’s raining). I currently work from home and studying the Dutch language, so I have some free time to take care of your dog and walk. I really enjoy going for walks and the company. I live in a small apartment (for small dogs) with my husband, behind the building there is a nice green space that I can have walks. I am really strict with the schedule for your dog, if I am in your house hold I’ll no let your dog out of my sight

“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!”

Katie B.

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.

“We had a great experience. Mex was clearly comfortable, and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day. She was flexible, kind, and genuinely attentive to Mex. Communication was easy and pleasant. We would happily book again and definitely recommend her.”

Over: We are a family based in The Hague who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. Over the years we’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, and we’re used to adapting to what each dog needs. Our home is located right next to Clingendael Park and the Haagse Bos, which makes it ideal for regular walks in a calm, green environment. We also have a spacious, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely spend time outside during the day. Our work schedules are hybrid, so we rotate days working from home. This means there is usually someone present and dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. We have a toddler at home who absolutely loves dogs. We’ve been doing this since before she was born, so she is very comfortable around them. It’s important that your dog is gentle and okay around young children. Inside, dogs are part of the home and can settle wherever they feel most comfortable. Some prefer to stay close, others like their own space, and both are completely fine. We focus on keeping things calm, safe and predictable. We pay attention to things like secure entry and exit, routines, and clear communication. During the stay, we’re happy to send updates in the way that works best for you. We’ve built strong relationships with many returning clients, which we value a lot. If you’d like, you’re always welcome to arrange a short meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit. First of all…. We love dogs! 😂 I think outer picture library speaks for ourself but we absolutely love them and unfortunately we don’t have our own dog anymore so that’s been a big change for us. We’re a family that loves to have dogs around and help people feel comfortable while they’re away from their dogs. I’m currently working a mostly remote job and my wife is doing her masters in the evening. This means that we’re very often at home which allows us to do this. So someone will almost always be home to accompany your dog. Safety, trust and communication are very important to us. We will always ensure a safe environment through several factors such as making sure that the hallway door is closed before opening our front door, preventing escapes.

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.

Over: Met 7 jaar toegewijde ervaring in kattenverzorging begrijp ik dat elke kat een unieke persoonlijkheid heeft. Of je harige vriend nu een knuffelige schootkat is of een verlegen ontdekkingsreiziger die wat ruimte nodig heeft, ik weet precies hoe ik hen een veilig en liefdevol gevoel kan geven. Ik bied aandachtige zorg, inclusief nauwkeurig voeren, vers water, een perfect schone kattenbak en natuurlijk voldoende rustige speeltijd. Ik behandel je kat alsof het mijn eigen familie is, zodat je met een gerust hart van huis kunt vertrekken. Ik ben van maandag tot en met zondag beschikbaar van 10:00 tot 22:00 uur om voor huisdieren in het huis van de klant te zorgen. Deze vertrouwde omgeving zorgt voor maximale veiligheid en vertrouwen, waardoor je harige familielid gelukkig en stressvrij blijft. Tijdens mijn bezoeken aan huis zorg ik voor alle dagelijkse behoeften van je huisdier: van nauwkeurig voeren, het schoonmaken van de voer- en drinkbakjes, het verschonen van de kattenbak tot aan borstelen, gezellig gezelschap en rustige speeltijd. Ook een hondenwandeling of lichte huishoudelijke klusjes rondom de verzorging neem ik graag op me. Ik let altijd scherp op de gezondheid en de dagelijkse gewoontes van je huisdier, en breng je direct op de hoogte als ik iets ongewoons opmerk.Met 7 jaar ervaring heb ik enorm veel geduld ontwikkeld, vooral met katten. Ik begrijp hun lichaamstaal en geef ze alle ruimte en tijd om op hun eigen tempo aan mij te wennen. Mijn doel is om een volledig stressvrije omgeving te creëren waarin jouw kat zich volkomen ontspannen en op zijn gemak voelt.Of je nu behoefte hebt aan vaste tijden of juist een flexibele planning: ik ben van maandag tot en met zondag beschikbaar tussen 10:00 en 22:00 uur om bij jou thuis te komen oppassen. Je kunt met een gerust hart van huis vertrekken, wetende dat je trouwe viervoeter in veilige en liefdevolle handen is.

Over: Ik zorg al van kinds af aan voor mijn en andermans huisdieren, nu zorg ik graag voor die van u! Ik heb oog voor detail en veel geduld. Uw dier, groot of klein, kan bij mij terecht! Momenteel heb ik erg veel vrije dagen, dus huisdieren passen heel goed in mijn dagelijkse planning. Dit betekent ook dat huisdieren die mogelijk meer aandacht nodig hebben bij mij aan het juiste adres zijn. Mijn woning heeft enkel een balkon (dat ook veilig is voor huisdieren zoals katten), maar is wel gelegen naast een mooi groot park waar ik graag tijd doorbreng. Ik heb genoeg ruimte in mijn huis voor grote en kleine dieren, en aparte ruimtes voor dieren die gehecht zijn aan hun privacy.

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: Hi! I'm David and I am a dog dad to 11-year-old Siberian Husky, Luna. My wife and I got her as a puppy and have raised her to be a sweet, energetic dog who loves all kinds of people and other dogs. We started out in Brooklyn, NY where we used to take long walks around Prospect Park. Then, we moved to Venice, CA and loved exploring the west side together - especially meeting all kinds of new pups and people on our walks around Venice Beach! Over the years, I have walked and stayed overnight with friends' and neighbors' dogs on several occasions including a beagle, a husky and a golden retriever. I also grew up with a golden retriever, who I loved to play with and walk around the neighborhood. Now we are located in The Hague near many parks, the beach and forest. My wife also started sitting through Rover years ago and I have met and hung out with almost all of her pups including senior pups, puppies, and all different sizes of dogs from toy to large. We care for them all like they are our very own Luna girl. About My Services: All of my services are customizable to your pets needs, but below is a list of what is typically included in my Standard Rate with and without overnight stay, as well as my Constant Care Rate, which I have limited availability to accept, but will consider if I am available and your pet’s needs require it. Standard Rate w/overnight stay: -potty breaks every 4-6 hours during awake hours, depending on your pet’s needs (can accommodate 3-4 hours for young puppies*) -feeding & medication 1-3x per day -1 30-60 min walks/playtimes time per day (can be split into 2 15-30 min walks/playtimes) -2-3 updates per day -overnight stay -2-4 hours/day of time spent at home during awake hours for your pet’s comfort, mental stimulation, or play time during the day Standard rate - no overnight stay: -potty breaks every 4-6 hours during awake hours, depending on your pet’s needs (can accommodate 3-4 hours for young puppies*) -feeding and medication 1-3x per day -1 30-60 min walks/playtimes time per day (can be split into 2 15-30 min walks/playtimes) -2-3 updates per day -no overnight stay -4-8 hours/day of time spent at home during awake hours for your pet’s comfort, mental stimulation, play time or other particular needs during the day Constant Care Rate (2x Standard Rate): -frequent potty breaks (less than 4 hours between) during awake hours -feeding & medication as needed (typically 2-3x a day) -1 30-60 min walks per day (can be split into 2 15-30 min walks) -2-3 updates per day -overnight stay -8-10 hours/day of time spent at home during awake hours for your pet’s comfort, mental stimulation, play time or other particular needs during the day -2-4 hours of time away for pet sitter per day (can be split up into 1-2 hour intervals) *All dogs are different and I will rely on your recommendation for your pets, but as a rule of thumb a puppy can typically hold its bladder for the number of hours equal to its age in months plus one <~~>~~<~~>~~<~~>~~<~~> Pet and Pet Sitter Safety: I have stayed with dogs who have easy access to a fenced outdoor space and with those who do not, so I am comfortable with ensuring leashes and/or gates are always secure. I’ve also stayed with dogs who are crated and am comfortable with crate commands. For their safety, I highly recommend crating puppies under 2 years old and any dog with a pattern of chewing or swallowing household items (remotes, pillows, etc.) when you are not home. Crate-trained pets will be crated per the owner’s instructions. Having an 11-year-old husky means I have had my fair share of experience with unexpected veterinary visits and emergencies. I am comfortable communicating symptoms to veterinary professionals with thorough details as needed. I have years of experience monitoring pets’ symptoms when they are sick, providing at home first aid, and acting quickly when additional care is needed. Veterinary Care & Emergency Transport Policy: While veterinary care and especially emergency veterinary care is a rare circumstance of a booking, pets can be unpredictable.

This will include any additional trips back and forth to and from the vet to visit or pick up your pet based on the roundtrip to the vet from pet sitter’s or your home. Hourly rates are as follows: 8am-5pm: $10/hr 5pm-10pm: $12/hr 10pm-8am: $16/hr Holidays & Weekends: $18/hr *veterinary emergency room visit wait times can exceed 8 hours on weekends and holidays Cleaning & Vehicle Damage Policy: If pet sitter is required to clean up bodily fluids due to illness (vomit, urine, blood, diarrhea, etc) in order to maintain a safe environment in your home, their own home, or their personal vehicle, a one-time fee of $40 will be applied to your booking. The pet sitter will also require reimbursement by the pet owner for any cleaning supplies that are not readily available in the pet owner’s home. If the pet sitter’s vehicle is damaged by your pet or requires professional cleaning, the pet sitter will require reimbursement for repairs and cleaning fees by the pet owner. Injury To Pet Sitter Policy: If, under any circumstance, the pet sitter is injured by a pet, the pet sitter will require reimbursement for related medical expenses by the pet owner. I’m a small business owner and work from home, taking care of my own 10 year old female Siberian Husky named Luna, and can easily accommodate some other furry friends! I have a fenced in secured back yard with multiple spotlights and security cameras, alarm system in my home which is set any time I’m away from home without my dog, and at night regardless. We have a clean 2 story home with 2k square feet of interior space and a large fenced in private back yard with a (6.5ft fence). My wife also works from home and is a highly experienced Rover sitter herself, and we treat all pups like our own!

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: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I’m someone owners can rely on to keep their pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m calm, attentive, and adaptable, whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a more relaxed routine. I make sure each dog gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and care based on their needs. I provide structured walks, regular updates with photos, and a consistent routine so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training. I’m very responsive and flexible, and I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s habits and preferences to make the experience as smooth as possible. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets! I am fully available all day on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Wednesdays, I’m free starting in the afternoon. This consistent availability means I can provide reliable routines, regular bathroom breaks, and lots of midday companionship for your furry friends. While I live in an apartment, I am a very active person and love going on long, scenic walks to ensure your dog gets all the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I am very attentive to surroundings and pet safety while out and about. Inside my home, I provide a calm, pet proofed, and cozy environment where your dog can relax and feel right at home with plenty of one on one attention.

Over: Hi! I'm Jess and I am a dog mom to 12-year-old Siberian Husky, Luna. She is a sweet, energetic, confident dog who loves all kinds of people and other dogs. She has lived and traveled all over the U.S. (over 20 states!) and now has made her way with us across the ocean to The Netherlands. Even before becoming a Rover sitter, I cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs on many occasions including a beagle, a husky and a golden retriever and grew up with shih tzu and a cockapoo, who I loved to play with and walk around the neighborhood. Before moving to The Netherlands, we most recently lived in Richmond, Virginia and enjoyed walking the many urban hiking trails and parks together. Since I started pet sitting through Rover, I have stayed with and looked after all of different kinds of pups including senior pups, puppies, and all different sizes of dogs from toy to large. I’ve also cared for other caged pets in the same home like rabbits when needed. I care for them all like they are my very own Luna girl. My husband is also a Rover sitter and will sometimes accompany me. David has always been a dog lover and loves to give my clients some extra attention while you’re away. He is also a U.S. Coast Guard Veteran and as such is very good under pressure/does not hesitate to act when dealing with anything out of the ordinary like illness or injury. My clients and I are very lucky to have him by my side when he does come along during bookings.

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'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)

“Yixin is an absolutely fantastic dog walker and sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. She is incredibly reliable and always on time. What truly sets her apart is her genuine care and helpfulness; she has been an absolute lifesaver for me while I've been recovering from a recent injury. Most importantly, our dogs, Roger and Angel, absolutely adore her! You can see how happy they are from the moment she arrives. She takes them on wonderful long walks and makes sure they have plenty of playtime. It gives me complete peace of mind knowing Roger and Angel are in such caring and capable hands. I can't recommend Yixin highly enough!”

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: With years of professional experience and a certification in dog training, I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for every dog I meet. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have been caring for them my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to walk and host their dogs. I also worked as a professional dog walker and sitter for a company in Amsterdam for several years alongside my studies. Today, I’m a certified dog trainer and walker through Laura Dog Training. I work remotely most days, giving me time to spend with my dogs, Uruz and Rambo, and their friends staying over. We do at least 3 walks a day - morning before my work, at lunch time and a long one in the afternoon ! I also like to take ‘play-breaks’ - short breaks from work to play with the doggos :) I live in an apartment where they have access to the full house, but keeping them mostly in the living room where I work so I can always keep an eye on them. They are allowed on the sofa, except if you trained them not to, of course.

Over: Passionate and reliable pet sitter with 3 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Skilled in feeding, walking, playtime and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable and loved Available after 6:00 pm on weekdays. Available all day on Thursday and Fridays, and have full availability on weekends. Flexible and happy to accommodate pet owner’s schedule whenever possible. I provide loving and responsible pet care in the owner’s home. Services include feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and comfortable.

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: Van jongs af aan ben ik opgegroeid met honden en katten en heb ik altijd voor hen gezorgd. Later heb ik zelf ook honden en katten gehad, waardoor mijn liefde en ervaring met dieren alleen maar zijn gegroeid. Ik geniet enorm van het tijd doorbrengen met dieren, of dat nu betekent samen spelen, rennen of gewoon actief bezig zijn. Het geeft me energie en voldoening om hen gelukkig en verzorgd te zien! Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and cared for them. Later, having dogs and cats of my own further strengthened my bond with them. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's playing, running, or simply being active together. Watching them happy and well-cared for brings me both energy and fulfillment! Omdat ik veel vanuit huis werk, ben ik flexibel en heb ik tijd om met honden op pad te gaan. Het verzorgen van huisdieren past perfect in mijn dagelijkse routine. Ik geniet ervan om samen de natuur in te trekken – het bos en het strand zijn mijn favoriete plekken om te wandelen, rennen en spelen met honden. Daarnaast maak ik graag tijd vrij om hun behoeften te leren kennen, zoals voeding, aandacht of zelfs het aanleren van nieuwe commando’s. Zo zorg ik ervoor dat ze niet alleen gelukkig, maar ook gezond blijven! Ik zorg ervoor dat jouw huisdier zich veilig, geliefd en gelukkig voelt, met persoonlijke aandacht, wandelingen op maat en veel knuffels. Je kunt rekenen op mijn betrouwbaarheid, instinct, geduld en duidelijke communicatie, inclusief updates en foto's.

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.

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.

“Banjer heeft een super fijn verblijf gehad bij Bram en zijn gezin. Er was veel aandacht voor hem en hij heeft veel knuffels van de kinderen gektegen. Hij is in die week echt onderdeel van het gezin geweest. Wij hadden ons geen beter verblijf voor Banjer kunnen wensen.”

“%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.”

“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.”

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!

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

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.

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: Hoi! Ik ben Mireille en ik heb jarenlang mijn leven gedeeld met Bello, mijn Golden Retriever en beste vriend. Ik heb hem destijds geadopteerd uit het asiel en tot het einde met veel liefde mogen verzorgen. Sinds Bello er niet meer is, mis ik het hebben van een hond om me heen enorm. Vooral Golden Retrievers hebben een speciaal plekje in mijn hart. Hun zachte karakter, vrolijke hoofd en gekkigheid… het maakt me blij. Daarom bied ik me graag aan als wandelmaatje of als oppas bij mij thuis voor jouw Golden Retriever. Ik heb ervaring met puber en senior honden, medicatie, snuffelwandelingen, honden met een rugzakje en het aanpassen aan wat een hond op dat moment nodig heeft. Ik woon in een appartementencomplex (met lift), met een grote achtertuin voor een gezellige speelsessie en een tuin aan de voorkant waar lekker gewandeld kan worden. Verder zijn er diverse parken in de buurt. Korte wandelingen, langere snuffelroutes, lekker spelen met de bal of een logeerpartijtje, ik kijk graag samen wat past bij jou(w hond). Ik werk deels vanuit huis en ben flexibel in overleg. Bij mij krijgt je hond aandacht, liefde, rust en wandelingen op zijn of haar tempo. Ik werk hybride en fulltime, deels kantoor en thuis. Ik ben beschikbaar voor opvang gedurende dag of logeerpartijtjes met name in het weekend. In overleg is er veel mogelijk en ik denk graag mee waar nodig. Ik woon in een appartementencomplex met aangrenzend een grote achtertuin voor een tussendoortje speelsessie. Voor wandelingen kunnen we voor het appartement terecht en bij diverse parkjes in de buurt!
