Liefde voor honden! Zoek een tijdelijk maatje! x

Ik heb al mijn hele leven thuis honden gehad. Alleen helaas zelf nog niet alle tijd om eigen hondje te hebben omdat ik het vaak druk heb met werk. Ik werk nu vaak 2 dagen per week van thuis, en dacht dat is de perfecte gelegenheid ook om af en toe een maatje te hebben om mee te wandelen en knuffelen. Ik heb een eigen paard waar ik dagelijks naartoe ga, dus je zou wel kunnen zeggen dat ik een grote dierenvriend ben. Ik woon precies tussen Rembrandtpark en Vondelpark in. Genoeg gelegenheden om te wandelen. Ook heb ik een auto tot mijn beschikking en kan ik met de hond lekker naar Amsterdamse Bos of ergens anders.

I love animals and care about the needs of pets.

When I lived in Turkey, I had two cats that I adopted from the street. My older one is a deaf Van Cat, a special Turkish breed that cannot be taken out of the country. Because of that, I couldn’t bring him to the Netherlands and didn’t want to separate him from his brother. I can take care of all kinds of cats.I used to live in a small village where we had dogs.

Ayşe was amazing! She was incredibly caring and took wonderful care of our kittens while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay—she sent us regular updates every time she visited, which gave us great peace of mind. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. We're so happy we chose her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pets!

A potential friend for your furry family member 🐶

Hey there, I am Aenn - a german native with a bubbly, open-minded personality living in the Netherlands for about 4 years now. I grew up with dogs all my live, starting with the chillest beagle lady called "Sheila" for 12 up to my very stubborn family dog "Legolas" who is a pointer-labrador mix rescued from Spain. I currently live in Amsterdam Rembrandtpark (literally in the middle!) and hence can spend a lot of time outside in the green with your four-pawed friend. Not having my dog around is what I miss the most living in a different country that's why I signed up on petbnb since I currently am not able to offer my own dog the life he/she would deserve it.

Paws, Play & Plenty of Love in our home🐾🐶

Hello, my name is Eline, and together with my husband Seb and my daughter Thea, we are a gentle, caring and loving family based in Amstelveen who would be happy to take care of your dog 🐕💕 I have had animals throughout my life — including dogs, cats, fish and even a rat — and I have always enjoyed spending time with them, playing, and giving them lots of affection and attention. Caring for animals truly comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if it were part of the family. I really miss having animals at home, which is why I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for pets again and give them a warm and loving environment. Our daughter also loves animals and enjoys being around them. She would be happy to be involved in caring for your dog together with me, always under my supervision, and contributing to making your pet feel comfortable and well looked after ❤️🐶 Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention and proper care while staying with us. I am attentive, responsible and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and happy during their stay.

Eline and her family took really good care of Nellie. From the moment we walked in, we immediately felt that she was in good hands. Nellie seemed very happy and relaxed when we picked her up, so we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Puppy walker - missing my own from home!

Hi, I’m Alex! I’m a big dog lover who enjoys nothing more than getting outside for a good walk. I used to have a beautiful Beaglier and a friendly Labrador, so I know how much joy (and energy!) dogs bring into our lives. Now that I’m in a new city, I’d love to have a furry friend to walk before or after work and on weekends. Whether your pup needs a quick stroll, a long adventure, or just some company, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. Reliable, friendly, and always ready for cuddles - I’ll treat your dog like part of my own family. 🐶

Liefdevolle Dierenoppas

NL Ik heb veel liefde en aandacht heb voor zowel katten als honden. Zelf heb ik jarenlang katten gehad en weet ik goed hoe ik met hun eigenzinnige karakter en behoefte aan rust omga. Hoewel ik zelf geen hond heb, kan ik heel goed met honden overweg. Mijn vriendin heeft een hond Sunny die ik ook verzorg. Daarnaast heb ik regelmatig opgepast op honden van vrienden, van enthousiaste tot rustige honden, en ben vertrouwd met wandelen, hardlopen, spelen en verzorging. Ik ben flexibel beschikbaar, ook in de avonden en weekenden, en spring graag bij tijdens vakanties. Het liefst pas ik op sociale katten en vriendelijke, goed opgevoede honden die genieten van gezelschap en beweging. --- EN I have a lot of love and attention for both cats and dogs. I've had cats for years and know how to handle their unique personalities and need for peace and quiet. Although I don't have a dog myself, I get along very well with dogs. My girlfriend has a dog, Sunny, whom I also care for for extended periods. I've also regularly looked after dogs for friends, from enthusiastic to calm, and I'm familiar with walking, running, and playing. I'm flexible, including evenings and weekends, and I'm happy to help out during holidays. I prefer to look after sociable cats and friendly, well-behaved dogs who enjoy company and exercise.

Dierenvriend en trotse bezitter van een TBD.

Ik hou van dieren. Meer dan van mensen. 😜 Van huisdieren zijn honden mijn favoriet. 🐕Vanwege hun trouw en loyaliteit naar hun baas. De band die je opbouwt met je hond is geweldig! 🐶Je viervoeter zal je nooit in de steek laten of je besodemieteren! ❤️ Momenteel heb ik veel vrije tijd en kan en wil daarin graag een hond verzorgen, uitlaten of er zelfs op passen voor een tijdje. Voor het uitlaten moet er wel eerst met mijn hond (een lieve Thai Bangkaew Dog (TBD), reu van 7 jaar) kennis worden gemaakt om te kijken of het ook klikt tussen de honden. Meestal zal dat wel goed gaan, maar het is niet altijd vanzelfsprekend. 🫣 Samen met Yindee (mijn hond 🐶) heb ik verschillende cursussen doorlopen over opvoeding, gedrag en verzorging. Ook in mijn jeugd heb ik honden gehad en heb dus genoeg ervaring opgedaan. Van mijn kant beloof ik aandacht en oplettendheid naar uw geliefde huisdier. Alsof het mijn eigen hond is! Vrijblijvend even aan mekaar snuffelen (de honden dan hè 😜) kunnen we altijd even regelen en vind ik ook zeer wenselijk! Ik woon zelf in Velsen (Driehuis) in een huis met grote, volledig ingesloten tuin, maar ik kom ook graag even bij u langs. 🤗 Ik heb twee grote kinderen (jongen van 17 en meisje van 13) die ook gek zijn op dieren. 👍🏻

Flexibele oppas in Amsterdam-Noord

Ik woon samen met mijn vriend en kat in Amsterdam-Noord, bij NDSM, en heb veel ervaring met katten als huisdier! We wonen in een appartement op de 9e verdieping en hebben een balkon, waarvan de luiken dicht kunnen. Bij ons thuis loopt er een Bengaalse kat rond van een jaar, deze heet Kuki. Kuki is erg sociaal en speels en is gewend aan andere dieren om zich heen. Met honden heb ik zelf minder ervaring, maar zijn wel erg welkom! Ik ben regelmatig thuis en kan dus lekker veel naar buiten met ze en ze de nodige aandacht geven. Qua tijden en dagen ben ik redelijk flexibel! Daar kunnen we vast wel een weg in vinden samen ;-). Stuur me gerust een berichtje en wie weet tot snel.

Champion of dog belly rubs

Hi folks, my name is Sinéad! As you may know from the name I'm Irish, and have been living in Amsterdam for over a year now. Myself and my partner absolutely love dogs, however we are not at the stage to have our own just yet. In Ireland, my family dog lived to the amazing age of 16, and was a huge part of our family - he was my best friend. Over the years I have loved helping friends out with minding and walking their dogs, and never miss an opportunity for a hello and a cuddle with any dog.

Sinead was really nice and Luka had an amazing day! 10/10 would recommend :)

we would love to walk your dog when you are away

We have years of dog-sitting experience. We also fostered a rescue dog ourselves. We will take care of your dogs as our own. Giving them the care, play and chill time they need. We both work hybrid, so most of the times there will be one of us at home. Due to circumstances we cannot own our dog ourselves. Therefore we would like to dog-sit instead. We would like to watch your dog when you can't. We prefer small/medium sized and easier dogs. ------ We hebben jarenlange ervaring met het oppassen op honden. We zijn zelf ook gastgezin geweest voor en opvanghondje. We zullen voor uw honden zorgen alsof het onze eigen honden zijn, door ze de zorg, speeltijd en rust te geven die ze nodig hebben. Aangezien we beiden deels thuiswerken, is er meestal iemand van ons thuis. Door omstandigheden kunnen we zelf op dit moment niet een eigen hond nemen. Daarom zouden we in plaats daarvan graag op uw hond willen passen. We passen graag op uw hond zorgen wanneer u dat niet kunt. Onze voorkeur gaat uit naar kleine tot middelgrote en wat makkelijkere honden.

Philip was a great oppas for Sylvie, our 3 year old French buldog. We can highly recommend him!

Full time Pet Sitter that you can trust

I come from a family of animal lovers, and we have always kept both dogs and cats. Currently, back in my hometown, our home is happily shared with two Teddy dogs, one Border Collie, and seven cats—three of which I personally rescued as strays. Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs. My practical experience includes assisting in the delivery of two litters of puppies and one litter of kittens, which taught me to handle delicate situations with calmness and care. I also regularly participate in small animal rescue volunteering, further developing my skills in nurturing and rehabilitating animals in need. I am patient, attentive, and have some basic dog training experience. Currently, I am not employed elsewhere, so I have abundant free time to dedicate fully to caring for pets. I am flexible and can adapt to various schedules and routines. My house have a dog-friendly park right in front, a riverside walking path behind my home, and a big yard at home for pets to run around freely. Dogs can roam between the house and the yard—it’s a cozy, happy space for them!

ze was heel aardig tegen ons maar ook de hond zou het zeker nog een keer doen.

Experienced, flexible dog sitter

Hi allemaal! I.v.m. internationale hondeneigenaren is de introductie in het Engels. I’m a 26-year-old student with lifelong experience in training and raising dogs. By taking behavioral dog training courses as well as teaching our late Swiss shepherd agility and tracking, I’ve grown to love shepherds and retrievers. However, I am a big fan of most other breeds too! While I live in an apartment, it is located right next to the Amstel - with plenty outdoor space and a short metro ride from Gaasperplas. I’m well-versed in outdoor and indoor activities, and like to keep dogs occupied and happy. Open for discussion is the question whether your dog likes to do shared walks - my parents live nearby with our Collie-Husky mix (as seen in my fourth photo). (Note: when I’m unavailable, my mother (an experienced dog trainer) likes to offer herself up as a back-up. I can ask for her availability too, if your dog doesn’t mind staying with her and the family dog.) Let me know if you have any further questions, and we can have a chat about whether your dog and I are a good fit!

Chili heeft een super fijne dag gehad bij Kim :hugging:! Lekker veel gespeeld en veel ruimte gekregen om haar energie kwijt te raken! Zelfs nog wat trainingen tussendoor. Overall, blije pup! En wij waren blij met alle tussentijdse updates/filmpjes! Ze kijkt er naar uit om volgend weekend een nachtje te logeren en weer met Marlowe te spelen.

Friendly Dog Sitter

Hello, I'm an energetic 25 year old and love to play with animals, especially dogs :) I'll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you're away. I love spending time with animals and see petbnb as a great way to meet with cute animals as I don't have a pet myself. I had a dog for 10 years and currently have a 6-year-old cat in my home country. Therefore I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. I'm available to take care of your pets during weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Although I don't have a yard, I love going for long walks in the parks. My home is pet-friendly and safe for animals, and I'll make sure your pets are comfortable and well taken care of.

Jagger felt right at home at Melis and her boyfriends place. It was his first time there and we were greeted warm and friendly. Jagger had a good time in the city and enjoyed his walks. The pics send were cute and i felt very comfortable with leaving my ‘dogchild’. Definitely recommend and hooe for Jagger to visit again sometime soon.

your dog’s safe place :)

This summer, I volunteered for two weeks at a shelter caring for dogs rescued from wildfires. During this time, I had the chance to meet and care for dogs of all kinds — different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Some were playful and energetic, others shy or sensitive, and many simply needed patience and gentle reassurance. This experience taught me how important calmness, empathy, and adaptability are when caring for dogs. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved. I always respect their routines, feeding schedules, and walking habits, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual needs. I approach dog care with kindness, patience, and genuine attention, never rushing or forcing interaction. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away — not just looked after, but truly cared for.

Very friendly and flexible animal friend. Alba came home happy!

Gezocht: viervoeter die nieuwe vrienden wil maken!

Mijn vriend en ik zijn beide opgegroeid met een hond en dat vonden we geweldig! Daarom passen wij nu ook graag op de hond van onze ouders. Wij gaan dan wandelen in parken of naar het strand. Onze ouders wonen echter ver weg en wij willen erg graag frequenter oppassen. Een eigen hond kopen komt nog nét te vroeg. De voorkeur gaat uit naar honden die lief zijn, geaaid willen worden, een blok om willen, willen spelen of een combinatie daarvan. De grote van de hond maakt voor ons niet uit. Wij willen met name oppassen in het weekend zodat we allebei tijd hebben of anders tijd kunnen maken!
