Experienced Veterinarian & Lifelong Animal Lover

Hi, I’m Milán! I’m a qualified veterinarian currently practising in the Netherlands, and caring for animals is both my profession and something I genuinely enjoy. I have extensive professional experience with dogs and cats of different ages, personalities and medical needs. I’m also a husband and dad, and we have our own much-loved pets at home, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy looking after a member of your family. I work as a veterinarian during the week and offer pet care through Petbnb as a side job. I offer dog walking and home visits, and I’m happy to care for puppies and kittens, adult pets and senior animals. I am also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and administering medication when required. Dog walks are typically around 30–60 minutes, depending on your dog’s age, fitness, personality and usual routine. I’m happy to walk around your pet’s familiar neighbourhood or in suitable local parks and walking areas. For safety, dogs will remain on-leash unless we have specifically discussed otherwise and there is a safe and appropriate place for off-leash exercise. Home visits are typically around 30 minutes and can include feeding, fresh water, medication, litter tray cleaning, letting dogs into the garden, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I can also send you updates and photos during the visit so you know how your pet is doing. I prefer to care for pets individually or from the same household rather than supervising large groups of unfamiliar animals. My aim is to provide calm, reliable and personalised care while keeping your pet’s normal routine as familiar and stress-free as possible.

A holiday for your pets 🐾

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. Neighbors, family and friends always relied on me for walks, feeding them, playtime and of course a lot of cuddles. I've had pets myself across my whole life, and I am very used to all sizes and breeds, from the most quiets to the energetic ones: all animals are welcomed with me! I mostly work from home so I have space in my day for walks and quality time with the animals. I live in a quiet area in the countryside with a garden. The pets would receive a minimum of three walks per day (30min each). Important note: if your pet can't be left alone for max 5 hours per day and/or ruins furniture for anxiety and/or isn't used to walking on a leash, then I am afraid I can't help. Contact me if you think we can be a match 🐾

Loving, Reliable and Caring Pet Sitter 🐾

I’m an animal-loving, responsible and caring person who understands that pets are part of the family. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your furry friends when you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable and loved in their own familiar environment. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, going for walks and making sure their daily routines are maintained. I’m happy to help with feeding, refreshing water, outdoor walks, playtime and providing plenty of cuddles and companionship, depending on each pet’s personality and needs. I understand that every animal is different. Some dogs love long walks and active play, while others prefer a slower pace and lots of relaxation. Similarly, some cats are playful and affectionate, while others need more space and time to feel comfortable around someone new. I’m patient and attentive, and I always respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions where appropriate, and any special care requirements you share. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being looked after. **The pets I prefer to care for** I’m open to looking after friendly dogs of different breeds and sizes, from small companion dogs to medium-sized and larger dogs, depending on their needs and walking requirements. **My availability** I’m based in the Breukelen area and can consider pet sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits in Breukelen and nearby areas, depending on the schedule and location. I’m happy to discuss regular weekly arrangements as well as occasional help when you’re working, traveling or going away for the weekend. Above all, I want pet owners to feel confident that their beloved companions are in caring and responsible hands. I would love to meet you and your pets, learn about their routines and make sure they receive the attention, affection and care they deserve! 🐶

Dog Paradise with a Garden in Amsterdam

Hi! 🐾 We are two friendly university students living together in Amsterdam who absolutely love animals. We cannot commit to having a dog of our own because we occasionally travel, but most of the time we are at home and would love to welcome your furry friend into our lives! We both have experience growing up with dogs and other animals in our family homes, so we understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We live on the ground floor and have a garden where your dog can relax and enjoy some outdoor time. We love going on walks, exploring the neighbourhood, playing, and spending cosy evenings at home. We would be happy to welcome your dog for overnight stays, so they can feel at home rather than just visiting for a few hours. There will be two of us to give your dog attention, affection, and company! We will respect your dog’s routine and individual needs and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, cuddles, and care. We cannot wait to meet your four-legged friend! 🐕❤️

Hondenoppas in Amsterdam

Al jaren denk ik serieus na over een eigen hond. Ik ben opgegroeid met kooikerhonden, en een enorme hondenliefhebber. Mijn grootste twijfel is mijn (kleine) huis, zonder tuin. Geen ideale plek voor een hond. Ik pas regelmatig op honden van vrienden, en soms doe ook dat ook in het buitenland om er een vakantie van te maken. Vorig jaar nog paste ik op een podenco en 9 katten op Tenerife. Door mijn freelance werk ben ik vrij flexibel. Vond het lastig om tijdsblokken en dagen aan te geven in deze app. Stuur me dus vooral een berichtje, ookal valt wat jij nodig hebt niet binnen wat ik heb aangegeven!

A Cozy Place, a Caring Human, and Lots of Love🐾

I've loved cats and dogs since childhood and have had the joy of raising my own cats, as well as caring for pets again later in life. I'm comfortable around them, enjoy their different personalities, and know that every animal has its own needs, habits, and boundaries. I spend a good amount of time at home, which means your pet can have plenty of company, attention, and affection rather than being left alone for long stretches. I live in a spacious apartment where your furry friend can settle in, feel comfortable, and have their own little space. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, whether that means playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company while they nap nearby. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I'd treat that responsibility with care. I have the most experience with cats, but I’ve also cared for dogs on my own, including my partner’s family dogs. My partner grew up with dogs and has lots of experience with them too. He spends part of the week away, so whenever he’s here, having a dog to look after is an extra treat for both of us! Of course, dogs are always welcome, whether he’s around or not. 🐾 I'd love to give your pet a safe, relaxed, and loving home while you're away. ❤️

Kind cat and dog sitter

I'm a lifelong animal lover with many years of experience living with and caring for cats. Cats have always been a special part of my life, so I understand how important it is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also love dogs and would be happy to help with them too. I know that every animal has its own personality and needs. Whether they love attention and playtime or prefer a quieter approach and a little space, I'm happy to adapt to their routine. I'm also a mum to a young child who has grown up around animals. We had a cat together, and the grandparents have dogs, so he is familiar with animals and treats them with love and kindness.

Aandacht, liefde en begrip voor jouw dier

Aangenaam! Ik ben Babette, een 27-jarige journalist en schrijver. Ik ben opgegroeid met (grote en kleine) honden en ben het allergelukkigst met dieren om me heen (van katten tot paarden en van konijnen tot hamsters). Ik geef veel aandacht aan dieren, maar weet ook wanneer ze even rust nodig hebben. Logeert jouw huisdier bij mij? Dan beloof ik (indien gewenst) lange wandelingen, veel buitenlucht en vooral veel liefde. Ik houd goed gezag, zorg voor een veilige omgeving en pas me altijd aan aan de behoeften van mijn logee. Ik woon in een driekamer-appartement in Diemen, maar de ruimte is ruim en heeft een veilig afgeschermd balkon waar dieren (als het van jou mag) een frisse neus kunnen halen. Er zijn genoeg wandelmogelijkheden, parken en het Diemerbos biedt natuurlijk extra leuke mogelijkheden. Ik woon op mezelf, maar mijn vriend (erg rustig en ook een dierenliefhebber) komt regelmatig langs. Mijn werk als freelancer is flexibel. Ik werk thuis of ben helemaal vrij om te zorgen dat het dier zich op zijn gemak en veilig voelt. Natuurlijk kan ik in overleg ook bij jou thuis langskomen. Ook is het mogelijk om elkaar eerst te ontmoeten om te zien of jouw huisdier zich op zijn gemak voelt bij mij en in mijn omgeving. Ik hoop je snel te spreken! Liefs, Babette

Calm, experienced & caring animal lover :-)

Having lived with dogs and cats in our household my whole life, I can safely say that I have extensive experience in pet care. With love for all furry friends, I have worked with and fostered a great array of personalities and breeds, which leads me to say - I find it easy for myself to click with animals almost immediately. I have a thoughtful and caring approach - I always keep an eye on your loved one, making sure that they're not only always entertained but also that they are absolutely comfortable in their environment. For this to be a success, I put a lot of efforts into getting to know the pet, as well as their habits. Whatever service needed, I will always put my all towards it, making most of the time that I am with the pet! As a caretaker, I always find it of immense importance to entertain the animal and make sure that they feel physically and emotionally well at all times. I always provide extensive (!) cuddles but also work with the pet - I play, run and hike with them (I have a really nice park nearby). If necessary, I can train your pets too. I would easily say that time spent with animals fulfils me like nothing else, and so I hope to make friends with your furry friends asap :-)

Pet lover who used to work in a dog rescue center

I have a big love for pets, especially dogs and cats. When I was in Vietnam, I worked as a volunteer for a dog rescue center for a year. I do not have much experience with pet sitting but I can learn. I am really gentle with pets. Due to the current living situation, I cannot have a pet yet so pet sitting is a great chance for me to be able to take care of the pets and spend time with them. I have a lot of free time right now so I am really flexible with the sitting schedule.

Samen op avontuur met jouw viervoeter

Hoi! Ik ben Karin van Leijen, 29 jaar oud en ik woon in Amsterdam-Osdorp, vlak bij het Sloterpark. Jarenlang heb ik met heel veel liefde voor mijn lieve Roemeense straathond Holly mogen zorgen. Helaas is zij in augustus overleden en sindsdien mis ik een maatje om mee te wandelen, spelen en knuffelen. Ik ben nog niet toe aan een nieuwe eigen hond, maar ik geniet er wel enorm van om tijd met honden door te brengen. Ik ben graag buiten, of dat nu een wandeling is in het park, een uitstapje naar het bos of lekker uitwaaien op het strand. Dat doe ik natuurlijk het liefst met een trouwe viervoeter aan mijn zijde! Door mijn jarenlange ervaring met Holly weet ik hoe belangrijk het is dat een hond zich veilig, geliefd en op zijn gemak voelt. Ik neem graag de tijd om een hond te leren kennen en stem mijn aandacht af op zijn karakter en behoeften. Of jouw hond nu houdt van lange wandelingen, lekker spelen of juist rustig snuffelen en knuffelen: ik doe het met plezier. Ik zou het leuk vinden om jouw hond een fijne tijd te bezorgen en jou te helpen wanneer je zelf even geen tijd hebt.

Home away from home in Utrecht

Hi, my name is Danna & together with my partner, Riwan, we’ve been pet sitting for a while now in our apartment in Utrecht. We have a 88m2 apt, with spacious living room, and Park Transwijk across the apartment. I work as an entrepreneur from home, and only go to the office once a week. It’s great to have a pet around when I work from home. Riwan works 2x a week from home. That said, we can be quite flexible with accompanying your lil one during the week & weekend. My parents used to have a stray dog that we took care of since puppy until it’s grown into a loving, independent dog. Meanwhile, Riwan grew up at a farm where he took care of many dogs, cats, poultry and even a pony. I like to call him a golden retriever himself as he is very playful and active. I prefer to get cozy and chill with the pups. We have both taken care of different breeds in different countries and we love them all. We don’t have any issue with the age and we respect the rules set by the owners. We’re also quite flexible in terms of pick up time and drop off time. Just message us and let’s see what we can do to take care of your lil ones!

Pet paradise in Amsterdam

I have around 3 years of pet-sitting experience, and I’ve also had my own lovely dog back home for 13 years! I absolutely adore animals, whether it’s dogs, cats, or any other furry friends! I’m always happy to take them on walks, play with them, cuddle up, or simply keep them company. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, fed, loved, and gets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m also very patient and attentive to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and daily routines. I’ll treat your little companion as if they were my own! 🐾💕

Door wind en weer! Amsterdam

hey! I’m Alicia, a Master student currently living in Amsterdam and looking for company on my daily walks through the city and its parks. I grew up with a dog at home and have been regularly dog and house sitting all around Europe for the past 5 years. While I’m here in Amsterdam I’d love to spend time with dogs and take them for walks. I am also comfortable housesitting or dropping in at home while you are not able to do so for your pets. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message:) I also understand Dutch, German and Spanish looking forward to meet you and take good care of your pets ☺️ Hoi! Ik ben Alicia, een Master student aan de Tilburg Universiteit maar il woon en Amsterdam. Sinds ik jong was, zijn honden altijd aanwezig geweest in mijn leven. Wij zelf hadden een Labrador en mijn oma een dashond. Ik wandel met alle plezier met uw hond in de buurt. Aangezien ik zelf ook van lange wandelingen houd, dacht ik deze 2 dingen die ik leuk vind te combineren. Soms kan het lastig zijn genoeg lichaamsbeweging voor de hond in een dagelijkse routine te laten passen, daarom wil ik graag helpen, want mijn rooster op de universiteit is zeer gevarieerd en ik ben zeer flexibel beschikbaar. Ik kijk ernaar uit om u en uw hond te ontmoeten!

Hondenliefhebber met een liefde voor wandelen

Mijn liefde voor honden is altijd aanwezig geweest. Ik ben opgegroeid in een familie die dezelfde liefde deelt en daarom heb ik altijd veel honden om mij heen gehad. Zelf heb ik een grote langharige witte herder gehad, totdat ik op mijzelf ging wonen. Het gemis van een hond is enorm groot, maar omdat ik op dit moment voor mijzelf aan het starten ben en daarnaast parttime werk is de verantwoordelijkheid net iets te groot. Petbnb is daarom voor mij de perfecte uitkomst! Ik woon dichtbij het Sarpathipark en Martin Luther King park en maak graag grote wandelingen. Ik hou enorm van elke soort hond en pas dan ook met alle zorg en liefde op!

Oppas bij u thuis, zorg voor uw huis(en)dier!

Mijn partner Jan- Willem en ik (Anja) houden van allerlei hondenpersoonlijkheden; we zijn al jarenlang actief als hondenoppas. Eerst in onze eigen woning in Brabant en later in ons oppashuis in Drenthe. (Referentie voor huisoppas en huisdieroppas is aanwezig). We hebben zelf ook altijd honden gehad. Vanaf 1 april 2021 zijn wij op pad met onze buscamper in binnen- en buitenland. Dat betekent dat we ook beschikbaar zijn voor vakantie-oppas bij u thuis (in Nederland en buitenland), waarbij uw huisdieren in hun vertrouwde omgeving kunnen blijven en door ons verzorgd en uitgelaten worden. Daarnaast was ik tot 2019 mede-eigenaar van Coachen met Honden en ben ik medeschrijfster van het boek 'Wijze lessen van je hond'. Interessant hoe honden ons spiegelen, wat we van hen kunnen leren en waarom nou net díe hond met díe persoonlijkheid in jouw leven is. Wij zien honden als 'furry friends', en vinden het mooi om door ons oppaswerk allerlei hondenwezens te leren kennen. Kortom; zoekt u een oppas met hart en ziel; waarbij de dieren in hun vertrouwde omgeving blijven? Neem gerust contact op om de opties te bespreken! Hartelijke groet, Anja en Jan-Willem P.S. In verband met reiskosten en reistijd nemen wij oppasopdrachten vanaf 6 dagen aan. Wij passen soms ook apart van elkaar op (dat kunnen we technisch niet in de Pet B en B kalender kenbaar maken) of zijn apart beschikbaar om bijvoorbeeld een overlap tussen twee oppassen te overbruggen. Ook al staat de kalender op 'vol', het kan de moeite waard zijn om even met een berichtje te informeren of we beschikbaar zijn op de door u gewenste datum.

Mila heeft minstens zo een leuke vakantie gehad als wij😉:feet::feet:! Lekker door de bossen gewandeld, mee naar vrienden geweest en veel liefdevolle aandacht gehad. Mila is ook weer zo goed verzorgd. De eerste dagen was ze niet helemaal fit en Anja wist precies wat te doen en hield ons dagelijks op de hoogte. We zijn enorm blij en dankbaar🙏:smiling_face_with_3_hearts:.

Missing my 3 beautiful dogs back home

Hi there! I used to pet sit a lot when I completed my masters from Utrecht University. Now I work mostly from home in Eindhoven, and would love to start pet sitting again. Whether it is cats or dogs, I have experience with both. I grew up with 4 dogs and 3 cats back in my home country and would love to bring pets into my life again! I live in a very spacious two bedroom apartment right next to a great green area perfect for dog walking. Hope to hear from you and would answer any questions you may have!

Gek op spelen, wandelen en knuffelen!

Ik ben sinds jongs af aan al gek geweest op honden, sinds 6 jaar heb ik mijn eigen hondje waar ik gek op ben. Veel puppy cursussen bijgewoond (door mijn eigen labrador) en ook met een hondentrainster meegelopen. Ik werk momenteel alleen nog op de woensdagen als oppas/nanny. Mijn andere werk stopte er helaas mee maar daardoor heb ik nu genoeg tijd om lekker hiermee bezig te zijn! Het lijkt me enig. Ik ben dol op spelen en knuffelen met honden. Gezellig met de hondjes wandelen in de buurt, bos of strand vind ik ook erg leuk! Hopelijk zien wij elkaar snel! :)

Vanaf kleins af aan ben ik opgegroeid met dieren!

Ik heb in het verleden naast mijn studie veel opgepast bij gezinnen die vaak ook een hond hadden, hierdoor heb ik veel ervaring opgedaan. Ik vond dit altijd leuk om te doen! Ik ben geduldig met honden en ik zal altijd mijn best doen om de hond op zijn gemak te stellen en het naar zijn zin te maken, want voor een hond is een nieuwe oppas best even wennen. Ik vind het leuk om naar een groot park te gaan waar de hond zich kan uitleven. Kortom ik ben op gek op dieren en in het specifiek op honden.
