“Marcela and Christian really took good care of our puppy, it was our first time leaving her with daysitting. They understood the situation and approached it very well. They updated me almost every hour with pictures and information on how she is doing. Once again thank you to both of you, it was a great experience.”

“Joy weet uitstekend met honden om te gaan. Omdat zij zelf meer dan 14 jaar een eigen hond heeft gehad. Je hond is in goeie handen bij Joy! Ze is zorgzaam en een echte dierenvriend.”

“Jose Ali took wonderful care of my dog Willy at her home. He was super kind, responsible, and made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay. I had an unexpected situation and Willy needed to stay two extra days, and Jose handled it without any problem. I’m really grateful for her flexibility and care. I highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pets!”

About: I (Isabella) sometimes look after my mum's dog (a naughty Irish terrier) or my dad's dog (a rambunctious Airedale terrier) when they are away, and I'd love to do so for more dogs! My partner also has previous experience with dogs, having grown up with them. We both regularly take in Momo, a friends' cat, in our home when his parents come to visit, and we love to have him over! I am a researcher working from home with a flexible schedule, so I often take breaks throughout the day to go for a stroll in the neighbourhood. My partner works from home 3 days a week. This means we have quite an open and flexible schedule to take in pets! We also like to go for a long hike on Sundays. We live in a flat with an upstairs section, and a small terrace in the city centre of Utrecht. When our friend's cat comes to stay over, we put some of the houseplants away for safety. In any case, we do not open any windows or doors unless we are able to keep an active eye on the pet. We can discuss any accommodation needed (medication, length of walk, hazards, etc) with you when you contact us!

“VS is a responsible pet sitter ,always keeps giving updates while we are gone. He did a great job caring my elderly dog and took care of Leo who is a hyperactive dog and meeting their medical needs. My dogs love going out for a walk with him I highly recommend VS. Thank you so much.”

About: Since I was little I've cared for dogs, both big and small, and their puppy litters and I've also fostered stray puppies we've found and given them a safe home. Currently I have 2 lovely dogs (one Rhodesian ridgeback and 1 local breed) and 3 cats at home back in Tanzania with my parents. I'm a student taking a gap year before i enter university while also redoing some of my examinations, so I have ALOT of extra time on my schedule everyday. While I'm not studying Rover is an opportunity for me to mix my love for animals while keeping myself busy and exploring new areas of Utrecht that I have yet to see ( AND taking cute pets on walks because who wouldn't want that??!) i dont have any pets living with me at the moment since im in a new country but usually at home my pets are very free around the house as they're behaved fairly well and i take my dogs on regular walks and hang out with both my cats and dogs like i would with my own best friend.

About: Hi! My name is Peyton, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog sitter and walker. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs—including my own two large dogs I grew up with, one of whom was a three-legged trooper! With extensive dog-sitting experience, I’ve cared for pups with unique needs, including one with dementia and another who was blind. I understand that every dog is different, and I always prioritize patience, care, and plenty of belly rubs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a cuddle session, or extra-special care, I’d love to help. I also had the privilege of growing up with cats, several rodents, and a bird, and have taken care of various reptiles. Open all and any pets and will ensure they are treated with love and care. Let’s make sure your furry friend is happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away! I currently do not have any pets at home and am excited to fill that empty space with the love of your pet. Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. From morning walks to evening snuggles, I structure my day around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and engaged. I'm currently finishing my master’s thesis, which means I have a very flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home—perfect for giving pets the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether I’m working or relaxing, pets are always a priority in my week. I provide safe, loving, and attentive care for your pets in a cozy home environment. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or quiet time, I tailor each stay to your dog’s needs and routines—just like they’re part of the family. You can relax knowing your pup is in good hands, getting plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while you're away.

“Eline heeft heel goed meegedacht over wat mijn angstige hond wel en niet aankan. De communicatie was snel en duidelijk. En binnen een kwartier wilde mijn angsthaas al met haar spelen! Bij het ophalen gaf hij haar ook aandacht, wat betekent dat ze Wick's grenzen goed heeft gerespecteerd. Hopelijk snel weer voor herhaling vatbaar!”

“Ook na een 2e keer oppassen kan nu wel gerust worden geconstateerd: onze Kruimel heeft een hele fijne dagopvang gevonden bij Mylene en Niels. 🐶🤎 Hopelijk blijven ze nog lang beschikbaar. 😊”

“Anouk is zeer liefdevol naar huisdieren. Zij heeft zelf ook een Kat gehad. Zij past regelmatig op, op onze Kat. Zij is ook goed met honden. Haar zus heeft een hond en daar past ze soms ook op.”

“Superleuke, lieve mensen en Gep voelde zich voor een eerste keer al voor zijn doen enorm op zijn gemak! Ik ben blij dat hij een fijn adresje heeft gevonden.”

“Adoring couple, who sitted my dog repeatedly. A lot of tail wagging involved on seeing them again! Very flexible and helpful! Highly recommended!”

“Life offers BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE MEETINGS !!! Tatiana is definitely one of them !!! She has been WONDERFUL with our 6 months dog, she took care of him for 3 days. She even had to give him his medication. We couldn't find better than Tatiana to take so great care of our dog, a REAL GIFT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her !!! Thank you Tatiana.”

“My puppy is very playful and highly energetic, but she is really patient and everything seems to be fine with my dog after he came home”

“Kiara was a petsitter for my cat Caos multiple times. She was patient while my cat was still getting to know her and very responsible with his necessities and routines. It took very little time for them to bond and they played together often. My cat felt safe with Kiara and she always made sure his needs were met. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

“Vivian was superaardig, communicatief sterk en op korte termijn beschikbaar om op onze Guus te passen! Ze is met hem lekker lang gaan wandelen op de hei, en hij heeft een fantastische dag gehad dankzij haar. Dank je wel!”

“Louise was an absolute dream. Wiley can be a little nervous in new places and he settled in very easily at their place for the day. She was super communicative and sent lots if cute pictures. All in all a fun day for my boy and we look forward to next time.”

“Julieth Pilar is the best! She takes amazing care of Maqui, showing incredible love and care. Julieth is responsible, attentive, and truly loves pets. Highly recommend her!”

About: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners I met in the city and at nearby nature spots. A few years later and I am completing my Master's degree at Utrecht University, whilst working as a dog walker for an Utrecht-based hondenuitlaatservice. Do I sound like I could be the right fit for your pet? Please get in touch and we can arrange a meeting! (Multiple references available upon request). I am finishing up my MA thesis at Utrecht University, often working from home which is very compatible with pet care. I also am working a lot as a dog walker for an Utrecht based company. So even on working days I can easily bring a dog that I am looking after with me for the afternoon walk, which is a great chance for some group socialisation. I have my own studio with elevator accessibility. Only two minutes walk from my studio is lots of nature and forests, as well as a large area specifically for dogs to walk both on and off the lead.

About: I've taken care of cats for 11 years, and can care for senior/sick cats too! Having grown up with two cats at home, I am used to feeding, grooming, toilet-training, medication-giving, and other tasks catering cats from babies to elderlies. I have two cats back in my hometown, but in my current place of residence (where your cats will be hosted if you request boarding), there are no pets. So feel free to request boarding even if your pet is shy! I'm currently between jobs, so I am home almost fulltime other than a few hours out a day. Therefore I can pay full attention and love for your cats if necessary. If your pets need vitamins or medications, I am comfortable and experienced with mixing it into their food or feeding them directly. I can tend to all of their needs, so feel free to detail your cat's personalities and preferences!
