About: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

“Andrea was amazing! She was super prepared and thoughtful, and Miso loved her.”

“Marubenys looked after my dog Léo yesterday and everything went really well! She was very caring and gentle with him, and he came back relaxed and happy. I highly recommend her; you can really tell she loves animals and that they are in good hands ☺️”

“Mayte was incredibly kind and patient with our dog, who was anxious at first. She helped her feel safe and comfortable, and kept us updated throughout, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated her care and communication and would happily trust her again.”

“Maria Teresa was great at communicating at all times and I received many updates of Hector during his stay. She was so sweet with him! He came back home feeling very calm. Thank you, Maria Teresa!”

“I feel really lucky to have found Azize. She’s so caring and genuinely loves my dogs, you can tell right away. They absolutely adore her and always get super excited when they see her. Every time I pick them up, they come back happy, relaxed, and well taken care of, which says everything. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s also very reliable and easy to communicate with. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Giorgia is a real animal lover, I am used to ask her to feed and pet my cats when I am away from home and my cats are always happy! She stay at my place and I totally trust her! Giorgia is also very kind with our family dog, she plays and gives him the right attention! Giorgia is a very good person, I know her very well. She is kind and respectful of other people and of course animals! I would definetly recommend her as a pet sitter!!”

“Vanesa took care of Mambo and Mambo had an amazing time! Mambo was completely relaxed during his stay with Vanesa, and he was calm and very happy when I picked him up. Vanesa told me how the day went and I noticed, based on what she told me, that she really took good care of Mambo while at home but also during walks. I definitely recommend Vanesa if you're in need of a nice and careful person to take care of your dog.”

“Mathilda was an excellent puppy-sitter. She was great with communication and demonstrated professional skill with the puppy/other dogs, clearly understanding their behaviours. Leaving our Pup with Mathilda and the other dogs for the day made our whole day easier, with great updates throughout the day. We would book again.”

“Super communicator, great calming interactions with our Pup. A very reliable and comfortable sitter, who allowed us to enjoy a great evening by ensuring our Pup was in safe hands. Thank you, Barbara.”

“Jose took very nice care of Pepita, was able to accomodate us last minute and even came to pick her up early in the morning. She seemed quite happy when I picked her up at night. Both Jose and Irene were very sweet both to me and to Pepi. Thank you for watching my baby!”

“We are visiting the Netherlands on holiday with our dog Ben, we are camping and wanted to visit the Efteling theme park for the day, so we reached out to Kania the day before we wanted to go and received a response from her very quickly. I was very nervous to leave Ben, but Kania's friendly reassurance put us at ease. Dropping Ben off was easy as Kania met me outside. Throughout the day Kania kept us updated and even sent us pictures of Ben which made our day so much easier. I'd recommend Kania to anyone who wanted their fluffy friend looked after for the day. Thanks again Kania! Abigail and Danny”

About: I’m Simone (26), Amsterdam local studying at the University of Amsterdam. I’m only at uni about five hours a week, so I’m home most of the day. 😊 My partner Sam (25) is from England and is working on his PhD. He works from home most days and is usually only in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays. This means your pet will almost always have one of us around! Sam grew up with a Labrador and cats, so caring for animals has always been part of his life. 🦮🐈 We live in a cozy (37m²) studio in Amsterdam-East, right next to Park Frankendael, with plenty of green space nearby for walks (Ring Dijk, Weesperzijde) 🌲 There is also parking available next to the apartment. If allowed, we love going on longer walks, including trips to the Amsterdam Forest or past nearby cafés. Of course, we always follow your rules and only take pets to places where they are comfortable. If you're looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely happy to hang out with your furry friend, I’d love to meet you! I can also send you picture updates!! 💓📸 P.S. I (Simone) also speak Dutch. 🇳🇱 I am a student at the University of Amsterdam, and my partner is completing his PhD, which means our home is almost never empty! Because we are both primarily home based, your pet will benefit from a very consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, interactive playtime, and a quiet, calm environment perfect for naps. :) Between our schedules, there is nearly always someone here to provide company and supervision. On the rare occasion that we are both out for lectures or research, it is never for more than 5 hours. We are more than happy to adjust our daily flow to match your pet's needs! Our apartment is kept tidy and pet proofed for safety. Although we live on the 4th floor, our building has an elevator, making it easily accessible for dogs of all ages and mobility levels! :) Downstairs, there is a ramp in addition to the stairs (which is much better for the short-legged paws) We are located right next to Park Frankendael, which offers wonderful, green routes for our daily walks. We follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and sleep habits to ensure your dog’s routine stays consistent. As we love taking pictures you will also get consistent photo updates so you can see exactly how your pup is settling in!

“Mina was friendly and accommodating. Her response time was good. She took great care of our toy poodle Ozzie! We will book with her again when we go back to Amsterdam!”

About: Dogs are part of both my childhood and my adulthood. I miss my family dog and would love to give a helping hand. 
I grew up with malinois dogs and have experience with dogs of bigger sizes. But I also have experience with dachshund and smaller breads. I have followed puppy training classes and am used to handling stressed or agitated dogs. I believe the key is to stimulate them as much as they need, and make sure they are active, whether through long walks or playing games. 
 In case of emergency, you can expect me to contact you directly and take all necessary actions promptly, as the platforms facilitates. I have a car and can transport your pet safely in case of emergency.
 About me: I’ve recently finished my studies and have some time to take care of your babies. I live in a cosy apartment and have a dedicated spot for doggies in my living room. My building has an elevator so it's friendly to older dogs as well.
 I am an active person. I will play with your dog, go on long walks, change their water, feed them, take them with outside, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside couple hours or so depending on age. Even better, I live next to a big park, perfect for walks and games.
 I don't have a breed preference or a size preference. I prefer kind dogs that are social with other dogs and used to spending time both inside and outside.

 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I am a post-graduate having a part-time job for a while. I am flexible with my schedule, no day looks exactly the same, I decide what I do. I like to go on long walks daily and am an active person. I play with them, go on walks, change their water, feed them, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for (small) dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside every couple hours or so depending on age.

“Mariko is an excellent sitter and I’d recommend her to anyone! She’s super-responsive to communications and sends lovely photos and updates of pets she’s minding. Her lovely dog, Olive, is very friendly and welcoming to new friends.”

“Guido is a true dog lover, amazing dog sitter. He took care of our dog Rosa and we were very happy with him. I recommend him to everyone!”

“Man Yin is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She truly loves pets and treats them like family. She’s patient, gentle, and very attentive to every pet’s needs — always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have no doubt any pet in her care will be in good hands.”

About: I have always loved dogs and I really miss going on walks with my grandparents’ dog, Luna, spending time outside, exploring and taking care of her. Since I was young, friends, and family have trusted me to look after their dogs, feeding them, playing with them and taking them on walks outdoors. I am experienced in check in on them, keep them active and happy while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a student currently doing a part-time internship, I will have plenty of time to take care and play with your dogs. I am available to bring them on walks at the park, take care of them and boarding during the weekends. I have a clean, comfortable apartment where I can care for your pet with love and attention. It’s a safe and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely at home.
