Your friendly next-door pet sitter!

I owned small dogs throughout my life (12 in total). I am most familiar with small- to medium-sized dogs. Breeds owned include: pug, shih-tzu, pomeranian, teckel (dachshund), maltese, poodle, and labrador. I now own two small cats and am experienced in taking care of both animal types. Breeds owned include: european shorthair and maine coon. For dogs: • I can give food (wet, dry, raw) • Give medicine (if needed) €1 extra/day • Wash and groom (if needed) €7 extra/one time; equipment such as shampoo and hairdryer are not provided • No nail clipping • Walk 1–2x a day for a minimum of 30 mins in total • Play (toys not provided) • Daily updates + pics (for home visit/stay) For cats: • I can give food (wet, dry, raw) • Give medicine (if needed) €1 extra/day • Wash and groom (if needed) €7 extra/one time; equipment such as shampoo and hairdryer are not provided • Nail clipping (included in the wash and groom) • Play (toys not provided) • Daily updates + pics (for home visit/stay) Important notice! • On a walk with dogs, I am open to also playing catch with them (only if you inform me that the dog is already trained). • Any allergies or medical situations need to be informed as specifically as possible, as soon as possible. • I can provide raw food by preparing it by hand (as some pets require a certain diet). Unfortunately, ingredients for it need to be provided by the owner in their own place. • I do not take any pets into my home for any reason, as I own pets as well. • I can only give oral and skin medicine to pets; I am not equipped to give any injections or any other medical practices. • A receipt of any extra services conducted (giving medicine and/or wash and groom) will be provided if necessary. • If urgent care from a pet hospital is needed, I will call the nearest location to the house (in case information about your personal choice of vet is not provided beforehand).

Adinda looked after our two dogs, Amber and Ivy. She is great with communication, is attentive and most importantly did great with our dogs. Both our dogs felt right at home with her and she took great care of them the day we were away. I strongly recommend her.

Let your pup make some great new friends

Hi! My name is Giulia. I am a dog lover and enthusiast. I love dogs very much. I am very passionate about them and love learning new things about their health, behaviour and psychology. Because of this, I am quite knowledgable about them. I know how to train and handle dogs of all sizes. I have my own dog, a cocker spaniel. He would accompany me on our walks with your pups, and be home with us during daycare. Depending on your pup's needs, we could have active days with longer walks and play sessions, or days that are more laid back for older or more anxious dogs. I am open to all types of dogs (castrated or not). If you see that my ad says otherwise in its preferences settings, it is because it has an error. The only type of dog I cannot look after are females in their heat cycle. This is because my boy is not castrated.

Joy heeft het fantastisch naar haar zin gehad ik zou zeker weer gebruik willen maken van Giulia haar diensten ze is fantastisch met honden

Dog care in Rotterdam

Hi! My name is Martina, and I’m a pet caregiver with over two years of experience caring for all kinds of animals. Over the years, I’ve looked after cats, dogs of all sizes, and pets with very different personalities, including three cats, small and medium-sized dogs, and even a strong-willed Rottweiler. This experience has taught me how to adapt to each animal’s needs with patience, confidence, and care. I genuinely love animals and enjoy long walks, outdoor activities, playtime, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed, especially when they are away from their owners. I treat every animal as if it were my own and carefully follow their routines and preferences. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’m fully committed to providing reliable, loving, and responsible care. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are always my top priority 🐶🐱🐾

I'm Camilla! Easy-going, caring & adaptive 🐾 🤍

My connection with animals comes from various experiences, including spending time on my uncle's farm in Italy... among chickens, goats... also border collies... I've been on road trips with a dog. 🚐 My mother also owns a cat, whom I help take care of on my visits. Animals are fun, intuitive, with plenty of personality, and often a welcome break from the pace of everyday life. At the same time, I have great respect for their individual needs, routines, training, and any boundaries they may have. I'm active and outdoorsy, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having company throughout the day, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel comfortable and secure! Also very much into cooking and food.. so "gourmet" meals can be arranged. 😅🙏 It would be a pleasure to care for your beloved pet and help maintain the routines that keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away. :) As someone who hopes to have a dog or cat of my own in the future, I value every opportunity to spend time with and learn from animals. 🐾 Hear from you soon!

Experienced pet sitter for happy pets

Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet is unique, so I always take the time to get to know their routine, preferences, and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I adapt my care to suit their personality. As a pet sitter, I prioritize reliability, communication, and your pet's well-being. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, depending on your needs. I enjoy caring for all breeds of dogs and all types of cats, but I especially love friendly, affectionate pets who enjoy interaction and playtime. That said, I am also patient with shy, senior, or more independent animals and will always respect their boundaries. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for, while giving you confidence that they're in loving and responsible hands.

Betrouwbare huisdieroppas beschikbaar

Ik ben op zoek naar een leuke en zinvolle bezigheid en zou daarom graag als huisdieroppas aan de slag gaan. Dieren zijn altijd een belangrijk onderdeel van mijn leven geweest en ik geniet ervan om voor ze te zorgen. Ik houd van alle soorten dieren en vind het belangrijk dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelen wanneer hun eigenaar afwezig is. Ik ben opgegroeid met honden en katten en heb daardoor van jongs af aan ervaring opgedaan met de dagelijkse verzorging van huisdieren. Denk hierbij aan voeren, wandelen, spelen, aandacht geven en het herkennen van hun behoeften. Daarnaast ben ik niet snel bang en voel ik mij op mijn gemak bij verschillende soorten en groottes dieren. Mensen omschrijven mij als betrouwbaar, verantwoordelijk en zorgzaam. Wanneer ik voor een huisdier zorg, neem ik die verantwoordelijkheid serieus en behandel ik ieder dier alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is.

Loving & Reliable Pet Sitter | Feel Right at Home

Hi! My name is Maria. I'm originally from Estonia and have been living in the Netherlands for almost 10 years. I work as a freelance professional in the maritime industry, and in my free time I love spending time outdoors and with animals. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I had my wonderful dog for 16 years, and saying goodbye to him last year was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. Although we're not quite ready to have a pet of our own at the moment, I really miss having animals around me. Becoming a pet sitter feels like the perfect way to share my love and care with them while helping other pet owners. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention that I gave my own dog. I currently have a flexible schedule, and my boyfriend works from home, so there is almost always someone at home to keep your pet company. We both absolutely love animals and enjoy long walks in Zuiderpark, which is only a few minutes from our home. If your dog enjoys being active, they'll have plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to explore with us. Every pet is unique, and I always follow the owner's routine and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet home, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm also happy to send regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I'd love to meet you and your wonderful companion!

Testimonial

Maria is a very responsible, caring and trustworthy person who truly loves dogs. She is attentive, patient and reliable, and I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with my dog.

Taking care of pets is second nature to me :)

I've always had a special connection with dogs. Growing up, we had a lot of stray dogs and mix breeds in our neighbourhood. Our family was the only one who would feed them, shelter them and even provide medical assistance when needed. Over the years, I've raised almost 7-8 dogs this way. As a result I know almost everything there is to know about pets of all ages, younger and older. Whether it's about what or when to feed them, playing with them or even just keeping them company, I love every single moment I spend around dogs. As your pet sitter, I can assure you that all of your dog's / cat's needs will be thoroughly met. I will make sure to feed them on time, take them for walk at their own pace, play with them whenever they feel like and make sure that they are well rested and hydrated. Most importantly, your pet will always be safe and will never feel lonely.

I’m caring, reliable, flexible, and love animals.

Hi! My name is Roberta, I’m a final-year university student and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for different pets, including a Belgian Malinois, a Pitbull, an older dog, and a cat I’ve had since she was a kitten. Before starting university, I also walked dogs for two years, and I’d love to start doing it again! I enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to take dogs on regular walks and give them plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. My university schedule is flexible, allowing me to arrange my day around your pet’s needs. As I live in a studio apartment, I particularly prefer small to medium-sized dogs for pet sitting. I’m also happy to look after cats! Weekdays generally work best for me, but I’m open to weekend bookings when I’m available. Since I’m currently living away from my home country and my own pets, I’d love to give yours plenty of care, attention, and affection.

i <3 pets!

Animals have been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and even farm animals, I learned how to connect with and care for all kinds of pets. Since moving abroad for my studies, I have really missed having animals around. Pet sitting lets me bring that passion back into my daily routine while giving your pets attentive, reliable care. I have plenty of hands-on experience looking after friends' cats for weeks at a time, petsitting dogs, and administering medication. I also stay up to date on positive reinforcement training techniques to keep interactions encouraging and structured. I offer flexible services tailored to whatever you and your pet need. That includes house sitting, overnight stays at your home or mine, drop-in visits, and generous dog walks. Because I love staying active and spending time outdoors, your dog will get plenty of engaging exercise. Beyond neighborhood and city walks, I love heading out on longer hikes to nearby nature trails, parks, and surrounding green spaces whenever a dog is up for a bigger adventure. I welcome dogs, cats, birds, and other small pets. My home is a spacious, smoke-free apartment with no resident pets, which creates a peaceful and quiet environment that is ideal for cats or small dogs. As a student, my class schedule only takes up a few hours a day, so I have plenty of flexible time during the week to dedicate to your pets. I am mostly available on weekdays, and I always appreciate a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone feels comfortable.

Met liefde en aandacht zorg ik voor jouw huisdier

Hoi lieve baasjes! Wat leuk dat je mijn profiel bekijkt! Ik ben opgegroeid met katten en heb van jongs af aan dieren om me heen gehad. Zelf heb ik twee katten, die een speciaal plekje in mijn hart hebben. Ook in mijn omgeving waren er honden waarmee ik regelmatig heb gewandeld. Hierdoor heb ik ervaring met zowel katten als honden en vind ik het leuk om met verschillende dieren om te gaan. Omdat ik zelf weet hoe belangrijk huisdieren zijn, vind ik het fijn om voor andere dieren te mogen zorgen. Ik vind het belangrijk dat ieder dier zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt, voldoende liefde, aandacht en verzorging krijgt. Elk dier heeft zijn eigen karakter en behoeften en daar houd ik graag rekening mee. Ik pas met plezier op honden en katten, maar andere dieren zijn natuurlijk welkom! Met uitzondering op cavia's en konijnen. Ik kan helpen met het uitlaten van honden, eten en vers water geven, dagelijkse verzorging en natuurlijk wat extra gezelschap en aandacht. Ook kan ik bij je thuis komen oppassen, medicatie toedienen in overleg en eventueel blijven overnachten. De duur van bezoeken en wandelingen is bespreekbaar. Ik ben flexibel en kijk samen met jou wat het beste past bij jou planning en de behoeften van je huisdier. Ik begrijp dat je jouw huisdier met een gerust hart wilt achterlaten. Daarom vind ik duidelijke afspraken en goed contact belangrijk. Heb je vragen of wil je bespreken wat ik voor jou en je huisdier kan betekenen? Stuur me gerust een berichtje! Ik kijk ernaar uit om jou en je lieve huisgenootje(s) te ontmoeten!🐾❤️

trusted sitter for cats & dog in den haag

I have always had a natural connection with animals. I used to own a British Shorthair cat, so I understand feline behaviours, feeding routines, litter care and how to read a cat's mood. Street cats often approach and trust me, showing they feel calm around my gentle manner. I also regularly help friends by walking and caring for their dogs. I offer daytime home visits as well as overnight sleepover service within The Hague. For dog walks, each walk lasts between 30-60 minutes. We can explore local parks close to your home or Haagse Bos, depending on your dog's preferences. During overnight stays, I stay at your house to keep your pet company throughout the night, stick to their usual daily routine and give them constant companionship. Please note I cannot take care of sick pets as I do not have medical-care experience. I am happy to work with large-size dogs, yet I will not accept animals with aggressive behaviour for everyone's safety. When visiting your property, home security is important to me. I will lock all doors and windows properly when arriving and leaving, and I will never touch or go through your nersonal helonainas. Fverv visit includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning and lots of affection. I send regular photo updates so you can follow how your pet is doing. I follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding and habits. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, I will give them patience and reliable care while you are away.

Veterinarian, pet lover & trusted sitter

I’m Giovana, a Brazilian veterinarian who recently moved to the Netherlands with my husband and our Shih Tzu, Oliver. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have around 7 years of professional experience in a veterinary hospital, where I worked as vet assistant and later, as general practice veterinarian and also recently completed a specialization in canine and feline clinical nutrition, and I still consulting my clients from Brasil for nutrition remotely. I’m especially comfortable with dogs and cats, including pets that may need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I always try to respect that rather than forcing interaction. I have my own dog, Oliver, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend and see how I can help! :)

Hi! We're a small, friendly family with experience looking after our friends' Dachshunds over weekends, and we've really enjoyed it! We have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play, as well as a dedicated dog-walking area just around the corner. We have an 8-year-old son, so we welcome dogs that are comfortable and friendly around children. One of us has a flexible work schedule, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and regular walks throughout the day. We'd love to welcome your furry friend into our home and make them feel like part of the family! With lots of love!

Zorgzame en ervaren kattenoppas😺

Al sinds klein af ben ik dol op katten. Toen ik als student in een anti-kraak appartementje ging wonen en er een klein zwerfkatje gevonden werd, twijfelde ik geen moment en nam ik haar in huis. Hoewel ze niets van mensen moest werden wij onafscheidelijk. Helaas is Layla in juli 2023 overleden aan de gevolgen van een tumor. In oktober 2018 was ik op vakantie in Griekenland. Daar kwam een heel lief katertje op mijn pad, die ik adopteerde en mee naar Nederland nam. Zante is een grote knuffelkont en een echte allemansvriend. Layla en Zante zaten niet helemaal op één lijn qua speel- en kroelgedrag naar elkaar toe. In augustus 2020 adopteerde ik daarom nog een katertje, in de hoop dat het een leuk maatje voor Zante zou zijn. Het bleek een match made in heaven. Het oppassen doe ik naast m’n kantoorbaan en puur voor het plezier dat ik heb in het verzorgen van katten. De opbrengst van het oppassen doneer ik aan kattenopvangen en sterilisatieprojecten voor zwerfkatten. Zo help ik niet alleen de katten waarvoor ik oppas, maar draag ik ook bij aan een beter leven voor katten die nog geen thuis hebben. Inmiddels heb ik al veel ervaring opgedaan als kattenoppas en heb ik via Rover meerdere terugkerende baasjes mogen helpen. Ook heb ik ervaring met het geven van medicatie wanneer dat nodig is. Naast het oppassen zet ik mij al enkele jaren als vrijwilliger in voor zwerfkatten. Daardoor heb ik veel ervaring met katten van verschillende leeftijden en karakters. Of een kat nu heel sociaal is of juist wat meer tijd nodig heeft om vertrouwen te krijgen: ik vind het belangrijk dat iedere kat zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt.

dear friend of cats ~

Hello! My name is Rina, and I am a huge fan for cats! I am also raising two cats in the Netherlands. My cat ladies are twins adopted from the shelter. They have a rough start as cat babies due to the sickness from being left alone as young kittens. But we have raised them well and now they are healthy and strong! Therefore, I have experience of giving oral medication. As a long hair cat owner myself, I am also aware of the importance of brushing their hair daily. I also have a cat backpack myself. if the poor cat needs to visit the vet during the time, it’s also possible for me to do that on a bike.

Ik heb mijn hele leven al ervaring met honden en ben een echte dierenvriend in hart en nieren. Door mijn drukke baan heb ik helaas niet altijd de tijd om zelf een hond te hebben, maar ik heb nog steeds veel liefde te geven. Daarom pas ik graag op honden in mijn vrije tijd. Ik geniet enorm van het gezelschap van een trouwe viervoeter en hou van lange wandelingen, of dat nu langs het strand is of door het bos. Daarnaast vind ik het heerlijk om met honden te knuffelen, te spelen en ze de aandacht te geven die ze verdienen.
