Persoonlijke verzorging voor je hond of kat: Zoeterwoude

“Very nice couple. A little far out of the way from Delft, but not a bad thing as long as it’s not raining and the trains are running! My dog had a great time with them. She almost didn’t want to leave! They followed my instructions well, and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend. They took my dog on lots of small outings and seemed to treat her like their own. Will book again in the future!”

Over: I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I have often cared for a dog who was around 2 years old, making sure their meals and potty breaks were well taken care of. I also took them on daily walks and spent time playing with them so they felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I usually care for dogs together with my partner, so your dog can receive extra attention, affection, and support. We will do our best to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule and do not need to be on campus every day. I usually only go to school for a short period in the afternoons, and during university holidays I have even more availability. My partner works from home, which means there is almost always someone around to keep your dog company and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. We are generally flexible and can accommodate both weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact us in advance to discuss your preferred dates and schedule, and we will do our best to arrange care that works for everyone. We have a small, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time under supervision. Our neighborhood is also surrounded by nature, with plenty of pleasant walking routes nearby, making it easy to provide regular walks and enrichment. My partner has previous experience raising and training dogs, so we understand the importance of consistency, patience, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs and personality. We also have a good understanding of basic pet safety, including foods that dogs should avoid and general precautions to keep them healthy and safe. If your dog has any special dietary requirements, feeding routines, or other specific instructions, we will carefully follow them to make sure your pet receives the care they are used to at home. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where your dog can relax and feel like part of the family.

“Ashley did a great job taking care of our dog. We received updates, pictures & videos while he played at Ashley’s house. She even took him for a walk, which he loves. Ashley is great!”

“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: Hi, I'm Belkys. I've had pets since I was very young, and I have a lot of experience caring for animals. I enjoy their company and giving them attention and care. It would be a pleasure for me to take care of your pets. I have plenty of time because I am retired. Sometimes I have appointments that don't take too much time from me. Also, one day of the week I take care of my grandchild. I have a very cozy apartment, around the apartment there are a lot of green areas and parks. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Your pet will be safe and in a really nice environment.

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

“Cindy heeft bij Anna verbleven en alles is ontzettend goed gegaan! Ik had er meteen een fijn gevoel bij en Cindy werd heel lief en goed verzorgd. De communicatie met Anna was prettig en ik kon Cindy met een gerust hart bij haar achterlaten. Heel erg bedankt voor de goede zorgen! Zeker een aanrader en Cindy komt graag nog eens terug.”

“Very sweet and caring, saved me on a last minute request. Thanks!”

Over: Since I grew up in apartment building, i’ve sit all kinds of animals throughout my life. I never cared about them destroying things or getting dirty because of them. When i was in high school i also volunteered in animal shelter, where i worked primarily with dogs. Since i’m in uni i have lot of free time during the day. My schedule is changing a lot but it’s never anything drastic that could affect anything that we agreed on. I don’t have problem with anything, i just have to be informed beforehand. I am strong willed and i will find a way how to make a animal to like me.

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

Victoria S.

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: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible and attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, and I’ll do my best to make them feel relaxed and at home during their stay. I work from home three to four days a week, which gives me plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. I already have a dog of my own and take him out three times a day, with each walk lasting at least 30 minutes. Your dog can easily join our daily routine and will get plenty of walks, attention, playtime and company throughout the day. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, relaxed and at home. I have a friendly dog of my own, so your dog will have company during their stay. I’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible and pay attention to their individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

“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!”

Sanne V.

“Harpreet is an excellent dog sitter. He is knowledgeable about several active dog breeds, including Fox Terriers. He took exceptional care of my dog, and I would absolutely trust him to look after him again in the future if needed. I highly recommend Harpreet—100%! Ik ga zeker weer Harpreet als oppas kiezen voor de toekomst. Dankjewel Harpreet”

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!

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

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Makiko, I am from Tokyo, Japan. I live in Leiden, Hoge Mors zone. I am a housewife, so I am very flexible with time and I would love to help you with your pet. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything or just want to ask me something. I can't imagine how life is without animals, which I love so much. I was born in a town surrounded by nature with many animals like cows, sheeps, raccoons, monkeys, and many others. I spent my all life with dogs in Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands taking care of my dogs, friends' dogs and neighborhood dogs! I enjoy it so much! I love taking care of pets, cats and dogs of any size, gender and age and taking care of more than one dog is not a problem for me thanks to all the experience I have collected during the last 10 years, abroad and in the Netherlands, with so many different dogs. I am very patient, scrupulous, punctual and careful. The happiness of the pets and the satisfaction of the owners are the absolute priority. I will follow carefully your instructions concerning all aspects of the life of your pet (walking duration, dietary necessities, playing attitude and more). If you live with a cat just let me know what life style he prefers and I will follow your instructions. If you have a dog, I can bring him for walk and play whit him accordingly with his needs. Old dogs need a short walk, other dogs need to run and play longer and more time per day. I will help your dog to maintain his lifestyle the closest as possible to the one she is used with you. My house is a house with a garden with a fence and spacious green areas close by. There is a lot of space to walk in the surrounding area. I live with my husband, my 14 years old daughter and one English bulldog (7 year-old). The pet guest staying at my place will have the space to sleep accordingly with what kind of pet is and your instructions. I am looking forward to reading from you and I wish you a great day. Makiko p.s. Prices for Dog Boarding, Doggy day care and House sitting are just a reference, so please contact me and let's discuss about. The rate changes accordingly to how log your pet needs my assistance. Thank you for your understanding. Currently my main occupation is pet sitting. I visit daily several dog, cats, rabbits, parrots and so on. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Safety is the first point for me. I am always very scrupulous while taking care of your pet. I will send you each time a photo of your pet to show you how he is going.

Over: 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: 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.

“Joy was great. Organized, caring, easy to work with. Kept us updated throughout our trip and went out of her way to make sure things were taken care of. Highly recommend.”

Mitch R.

“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.

“She was an amazing cat sitter! She took excellent care of my cats, kept me updated with photos and messages. My cats were happy and comfortable with her. Super reliable, kind, and attentive. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best care for their pets!”

Over: Met ruim 20 jaar ervaring met katten ben ik vertrouwd met verschillende karakters en behoeften. Ik ben geduldig, zorgzaam en geef jouw kat de aandacht en ruimte die bij hem of haar past. ❤️ Zelf heb ik een lieve Ragdoll, dus ik weet hoe belangrijk het is om je kat met een gerust hart aan iemand toe te kunnen vertrouwen.

Over: Wij zijn allebei opgegroeid met katten. Michael is sinds klein al opgegroeid met 7 katten en Anastasiya is vrijwilliger geweest voor om op katten te zorgen. Wij weten wat u kat nodig heeft. Medicatie kunnen we ook doen als dat nodig is.

“She was very kind and affectionate with our cat. She always sent us photos and updates on how he was doing. We were really happy with her, and Midnight loved her too!”

elisa m.

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: (🗣️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: 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

“Yuree was amazing. She took excellent care of our little Alfie. Alfie will definitely be visiting him again.”

joanne K.

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.

“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: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve watched pets for friends and neighbors and volunteer at animal shelters, alongside donating to them, because their wellbeing matters to me well beyond just this platform. Growing up, I regularly fed stray cats and dogs in my hometown, and that’s really where my soft spot for animals began. Whether big or small, timid or full of energy, I love them all and treat every pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to routine: feeding times, walks, and the small habits that help a pet feel calm and secure when their owner is away. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s responsible, attentive, and genuinely cares, I’d love to help. I’m a master’s student currently doing an internship, but I work from home most days, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally available every day for walks, drop-ins, or sitting, and I can usually work around your schedule rather than the other way around. If you need someone reliable and consistent, I’m easy to plan with. I live in an apartment without pets of my own, but I have access to a big yard, so there’s plenty of space for a dog to run around and get some fresh air. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, keeping routines consistent and making sure your pet feels comfortable the whole time.

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.

“Liza is very kind. Frans enjoyed his stay with Liza very much. Liza send funny photos and updates of Frans during his stay. I would surely recomment Liza!”

Over: Hi, I'm Belkys. I've had pets since I was very young, and I have a lot of experience caring for animals. I enjoy their company and giving them attention and care. It would be a pleasure for me to take care of your pets. I have plenty of time because I am retired. Sometimes I have appointments that don't take too much time from me. Also, one day of the week I take care of my grandchild. I have a very cozy apartment, around the apartment there are a lot of green areas and parks. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Your pet will be safe and in a really nice environment.

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

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 :)

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

Yvonne D.

Over: Hi! We’re a couple with a lifelong love for dogs. I grew up surrounded by many different kinds of dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, we’ve gained lots of experience understanding dog behaviour, reading body language, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. We know every dog is unique, so we always take the time to understand their routine, energy level, personality, and individual needs. We both work from home, which means your dog gets plenty of company, attention, love, and care throughout the day — they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. We have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. We’re also an adventurous couple who love spending time outdoors, and we’re lucky to live close to the beach and surrounded by beautiful parks and walking areas. Whether your dog loves long walks and exploring or prefers relaxing at home and getting lots of cuddles, we’re happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. Our goal is for your dog to feel like they’re having a little holiday of their own while you’re away — with plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, and cosy moments. 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! 🐾❤️ You can also learn more about us and our dog care on our website: LuckyPaw.nl 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. 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: 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.

“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: 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

Katie O.

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

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

Over: Wij zijn Michael en Anastasiya — twee grote dierenliefhebbers met een hart voor zowel honden als katten. Michael is van jongs af aan omringd door dieren en heeft van zijn passie zijn beroep gemaakt. Hij behaalde het officiële diploma “Honden- en Kattenbesluit”, waardoor hij bevoegd is om professioneel met honden en katten te werken. Anastasiya werkte jarenlang als violiste op cruiseschepen en besteedde haar vrije tijd aan vrijwilligerswerk, waarbij ze met veel liefde voor katten zorgde. Samen vormen we het perfecte team: ervaren, zorgzaam en professioneel. We begrijpen dat elk dier uniek is en geven daarom persoonlijke aandacht, afgestemd op hun karakter en behoeften. Heeft uw hond gedragsproblemen, angst, verlegenheid, moeite met andere honden of speciale medische zorg nodig? Geen enkel probleem — wij weten precies hoe we uw trouwe viervoeter of kat op de juiste manier kunnen helpen en begeleiden. Bij ons kunt u erop vertrouwen dat uw dier met alle liefde en deskundigheid wordt verzorgd. 🐾 Wij werken allebei vanuit huis, waardoor we de honden 24/7 toezicht, aandacht en gezelschap kunnen bieden. Er is altijd iemand aanwezig om met ze te spelen, knuffelen of gewoon gezellig samen te zijn. Daarnaast is ons appartement uitgerust met een beveiligingscamera, zodat we de hondjes ook kunnen blijven volgen wanneer we even kort weg zijn. Zo bent u er zeker van dat uw hond altijd in een veilige, liefdevolle en zorgzame omgeving is. 🐶❤️ Wij nemen honden aan van meerdere eigenaren te gelijk,maar veiligheid staat bij ons op nummer één! 🐾 Wij zorgen ervoor dat alle honden zich comfortabel en veilig voelen. Daarom houden we de hondjes, indien nodig, gescheiden en geven we ieder hun eigen ruimte, met voldoende water, voeding en rustmomenten. Wanneer uw hond goed overweg kan met andere honden, laten we ze natuurlijk graag samen spelen — de meeste vinden dat namelijk ontzettend gezellig! Om de veiligheid van alle dieren te waarborgen, nemen wij geen agressieve honden aan. Zo kunnen we iedereen een fijne, rustige en veilige omgeving garanderen. 🐶❤️

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: 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 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: Hi everyone! My name is Makiko, I am from Tokyo, Japan. I live in Leiden, Hoge Mors zone. I am a housewife, so I am very flexible with time and I would love to help you with your pet. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything or just want to ask me something. I can't imagine how life is without animals, which I love so much. I was born in a town surrounded by nature with many animals like cows, sheeps, raccoons, monkeys, and many others. I spent my all life with dogs in Japan, Italy, and the Netherlands taking care of my dogs, friends' dogs and neighborhood dogs! I enjoy it so much! I love taking care of pets, cats and dogs of any size, gender and age and taking care of more than one dog is not a problem for me thanks to all the experience I have collected during the last 10 years, abroad and in the Netherlands, with so many different dogs. I am very patient, scrupulous, punctual and careful. The happiness of the pets and the satisfaction of the owners are the absolute priority. I will follow carefully your instructions concerning all aspects of the life of your pet (walking duration, dietary necessities, playing attitude and more). If you live with a cat just let me know what life style he prefers and I will follow your instructions. If you have a dog, I can bring him for walk and play whit him accordingly with his needs. Old dogs need a short walk, other dogs need to run and play longer and more time per day. I will help your dog to maintain his lifestyle the closest as possible to the one she is used with you. My house is a house with a garden with a fence and spacious green areas close by. There is a lot of space to walk in the surrounding area. I live with my husband, my 14 years old daughter and one English bulldog (7 year-old). The pet guest staying at my place will have the space to sleep accordingly with what kind of pet is and your instructions. I am looking forward to reading from you and I wish you a great day. Makiko p.s. Prices for Dog Boarding, Doggy day care and House sitting are just a reference, so please contact me and let's discuss about. The rate changes accordingly to how log your pet needs my assistance. Thank you for your understanding. Currently my main occupation is pet sitting. I visit daily several dog, cats, rabbits, parrots and so on. Please feel free to contact me anytime. Safety is the first point for me. I am always very scrupulous while taking care of your pet. I will send you each time a photo of your pet to show you how he is going.

Over: 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.

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.

“Ashley did a great job taking care of our dog. We received updates, pictures & videos while he played at Ashley’s house. She even took him for a walk, which he loves. Ashley is great!”

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!

“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!”

“Harpreet is an excellent dog sitter. He is knowledgeable about several active dog breeds, including Fox Terriers. He took exceptional care of my dog, and I would absolutely trust him to look after him again in the future if needed. I highly recommend Harpreet—100%! Ik ga zeker weer Harpreet als oppas kiezen voor de toekomst. Dankjewel Harpreet”

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!

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

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