Energetic 26 Italian petsitter

I am absolutely in love with dogs and cats and always had a special connection with them. I have had pets home since I am 18 and they have always offered me the best emotional support. Ever since I moved out from my family house in Italy, I have moved a lot to complete my studies or just work. Unfortunately, such a lifestyle does not allow me to keep a dog with me. Also, I can hardly visit my Cocker Spaniel back home. This is mostly why I have been dogsitting my best friends' pets every now and then. For more then six months, I babysitted the most lovely family of 2 kids and a fantstic Golden. I prefer homie pets, always keen for cuddles and playful but I would love to know any pet and will be ready to take care of them with all possible love in this world :)

I love taking care of dogs!!

My experience of taking care of dogs start with my first pet which was a labrador dog, who we used to call bruno, and I took all the responsibility of taking care of, feeding it, taking it out for walks and playing with him. However he had to be given to my friend as we shifted out of town, after him we have another dog, who we call tuffy, which I love to take care of, and again took all the responsisbility of taking care of, and I love to play with him!! I have a lot of experience with dogs and genuinely enjoy being around them.

Pet Paradise Leiden, fun, safe and filled w/ love

Nederlands staat hieronder Disclaimer: In (school) holidays the fee is higher than the stated amount. Hi there! I'm Asmin. I grew up with many different animals (including mammals) and especially loved and missed spending time with cats. I have had cats and dogs since I was a kid I live in Leiden, and I used to work as a researcher at Leiden University. I have been pet sitting as a side job for over 7 years (5 years in the NL aka. I can provide you references outside this platform). In uni, my roommates and I even took care of rescued cats in our dorm room for weeks when it was not allowed. So I am pretty good at making room for them, even if it's really hard. :) In my homeland, I also frequently watched over my neighbours' pets and have over ten years of experience with animals. I live in a relatively big and safe apartment. I do not have a regular 9 to 5 job, so I can take care of your pets and provide care, love and affection throughout the day! I live close to the Noorderpark, Leiden, where I can take dogs for a walk. There is a green area behind my apartment I take dogs there to play outside! -------NL--------- Hoi! Ik ben Asmin. Ik ben opgegroeid met veel verschillende dieren (waaronder zoogdieren) en hield vooral van en miste tijd doorbrengen met katten. Ik heb katten en honden gehad sinds ik een kind was. Ik woon in Leiden, en ik werkte als onderzoeker aan de Universiteit Leiden. Nu doe ik een (tweede) master in Leiden. Ik ben al meer dan 5 jaar dierenoppas als bijbaan (2,5 jaar in NL oftewel ik kan je referenties geven). Op de universiteit hebben mijn huisgenoten en ik zelfs wekenlang voor geredde katten in onze studentenkamer gezorgd als dat niet was toegestaan. Dus ik ben best goed in het maken van ruimte voor ze, ook al is het echt moeilijk. :) In mijn geboorteland heb ik ook vaak op de huisdieren van mijn buren gepast en heb ik meer dan tien jaar ervaring met dieren. Ik woon in een relatief groot en veilig appartement. Ik heb geen vaste baan van 9 tot 5, dus ik kan voor uw huisdieren zorgen en de hele dag zorg, liefde en genegenheid bieden! Ik woon vlakbij het Noorderpark, Leiden, waar ik honden kan uitlaten. Er is een groen gebied achter mijn appartement. Daar neem ik honden mee om buiten te spelen!

Kysmo had a great stay with Asmin. Asmin is very caring and trusting petsitter, and took such good care of Kysmo.

City centre sitter with dachshund

Hi there! My name is Joppe, and I live on a boat in the city centre if Amsterdam together with my girlfriend. Kees is out permanent roommate, he’s a mini dachshund who loves to play in Vondelpark everyday and make new friends. About myself, I’m an analyst that often works from home and through social media and group chats I see a lot of people struggling to find a sitter for their pet. While working at home I usually walk Kees every 2-3 hours, while going to dog parks almost everyday for a least 30 min. I’ve taken care of a few dogs before, and when taking them anywhere I make sure to but a tracking device on them (better be safe than sorry!). If your dog needs to stay overnight, that won’t be an issue as there is plenty of space here on the boat. Regarding this, no person of dog had ever fallen in the water - but just to be sure we always put the dogs life jackets on. Regarding your dog, my only wish is that he/she is comfortable being picked-up and being friendly to other dogs. The rest I can manage! Looking forward meeting you and your dog!

Ik behandel elk dier als zijn eigen persoon

Ik heb in Engeland voor de Duitse herder van mijn vader gezorgd. Die was lastig met uitlaten. Ik vind Duitse herders de leukte honden die er zijn. Ik hou van alle soorten honden. Verder heb ik voor een oude Belgische herder gezorgd die soms gek gedrag vertoonde. Ik houd ook van katten en andere huisdieren. Dierenoppas lijkt mij een heel leuk baantje. Dit past bij mij omdat ik van verzorgen en van dieren houd. Thuis mag ik geen huisdieren hebben, dus het is alsof ik van mijn hobby mijn baan maak. Ik vind het leuk om honden uit te laten en om op dieren op te passen.

The bark Side: Your dogs happy place!

Hello, I am a student at Wageningen University, pursuing my passion for food technology. While my academic journey is centered around science of nutrition, my heart truly belongs to our furry friends. For past 12 years, I have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs. Last year, one of my pets had a litter of six and I took on the role of their caregiver and trainer. It was an incredibly rewarding experience that deepened my love for them. With a background in nutrition, I have also delved into researching dog nutrition, ensuring that my pets are not only loved but also recieve the best nourishment. Dogs have an uncanny ability to touch our hearts, and I am thrilled to combine my knowledge and passion!

Oppas & uitlaatservice met aandacht voor jouw dier

Ik ben opgegroeid met honden en katten en heb mij, toen ik zelfstandig ging wonen, verder verdiept in hondengedrag en training. Dieren voelen zich bij mij snel op hun gemak en ik vind het belangrijk dat ze persoonlijke aandacht krijgen, voldoende beweging hebben en zich veilig voelen. Ik pas al jaren met plezier op honden en katten, zowel kort als voor langere periodes. In overleg heb ik meerdere honden van verschillende eigenaren tegelijk. Om de rust en aandacht te waarborgen, vang ik maximaal twee honden tegelijk op. Ik kijk altijd naar karakter, energie en wat het beste past bij jouw dier. Tijdens het oppassen zorg ik ervoor dat jouw huisdier niks tekortkomt: voldoende wandelingen, rustmomenten, structuur en natuurlijk knuffels. Communicatie vind ik belangrijk — bij vragen of speciale wensen kun je altijd contact met mij opnemen. Ook ben ik regelmatig last-minute beschikbaar.

Pablo heeft het er prima. Haal altijd weer een ontspannen hondje op. Dikke duim.

Dog’s one call away bestfriend

I have 5 dogs back home! I take care of them before and after work from bathing, potty time, and going for a run or walks. My dogs are of different breeds and sizes. I would also always make sure that I play with them and give them attention from time to time. Walks are not just walks for me and my dogs. Walks includes playing and petting! At home, I always make sure I give them proper and enough diet. Nothing is more important than always making sure that your dogs are healthy and happy. With dogs everything is just so fun and exciting especially they give love.

Compassionate, Reliable, Experienced with Pets.

Hello, I am Atif and I am an Indian. I've come to the Netherlands to pursue a career in Hospitality and I am currently enrolled in the MBA program of Hotelschool The Hague. For as long as I can remember, my family has fostered and adopted cats and dogs wherever we lived. My partner and I are constantly missing our baby, Charlie, a white persian cat, who we had to leave back home with my partner's family. The Netherlands has the most complex and illogical procedures for bringing a pet from outside of the EU. I would say my motivation to be a pet sitter would be just that, to be a pet sitter. There is nothing that makes me more happy than witnessing the innocent antics of cats and dogs. Being in their company is my happy place. Having parented and fostered many cats and a few dogs, I would say, yes, I have the experience. I don't mind the scratches and occasional soft bites at all too. Rest assured, your furry angels and I will have the best of times together. Services I offer are walks, pet sitting at my place, pet sitting at your place, house visits (up to 2 times a day), and playtime in the park (maximum 45 minutes). Need a pet sitter, look no further !! Warm regards, Atif

Dog whisperer in Amsterdam

I am an absolute dog (and animal) lover and as someone who religiously takes multiple walks a day, the only thing missing is a furry friend to keep me company. I love trips to the park and even swims in the summer! I am very gentle and attentive and would take excellent care of your pet if you choose to leave them in my care. I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and I am just as happy to take on an energetic young pup who I can tire out at the dog park, as I am to simply give cuddles and company to a pup at home. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, I am happy to chat :)

Fijne communicatie, komt afspraken na, een blije hond bij thuiskomst.

Creating Pawsome memories for your furry friends!

I am a student studying at the VU. I have been pet sitting for almost 3 years now here in Amsterdam. I have taken care of 50+ different dogs and cats until now and I am experienced with different breeds and habits of pets. Originally I am from China, and I am currently studying at the VU. I have a cat and a dog back home (the cat is 5 years old, and the dog is 6 years old). I've been responsible for taking care of them since they were a few weeks old, so I'm really used to the life rhythm with these cute little angels around. In 2024, I volunteered at an animal rescue center in Crete, Greece, where I had to take care of 15+ dogs. I enjoyed spending the whole day with them, taking them to the beach, and cooking for them. I treat my pets as my friends – not only loving and caring for them, but I also pay attention to the small habits and characteristics that make them unique. This is what motivated me to become a pet sitter, to make more fluffy animal friends! I study at home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My daily routine is very flexible and can be adjusted to fit the walking/feeding time of your pet. I love sleeping with dogs and cats too and I am happy to let your pet be in all places in the house. But if there’s specific requirements for no pets in bedroom/on couch etc I will also follow them. For house sitting, I will make sure to keep the place tidy, water plants/ pick up deliveries if needed, will also do a thorough clean up at the end of the sit. I will make sure to be careful with windows and doors, not letting the pet get out accidentally. Ofcourse, I will also ensure not to leave food out unattended. During heatwave I will keep a close eye on the behavior of the pet, for dog walks I will also check the temperature of the ground before leaving.

Testimonial

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Yuyue stayed at our home for three weeks while we were travelling, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. She was incredibly trustworthy, respectful and proactive from the very beginning. Before the sitting, she asked all the right questions, from our cats' habits and routines to the vet's contact details and address in case of an emergency. She was equally thoughtful when it came to anything around the house, always checking with us whenever she had a question. Communication throughout the three weeks was excellent. She was very responsive and regularly sent us lovely pictures and videos of herself with our cats. It was so reassuring to see how happy, relaxed and comfortable they were in her company. We genuinely appreciated Yuyue's care, thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility. We would happily have her look after our cats again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!

23, actief, enthousiast, dierenvriend, Nieuwmarkt

Ha lieve honden- en/of katteneigenaar te Amsterdam, Ik ben Pleuntje, 23 jaar oud, woonachtig in Amsterdam en studerend in Utrecht. Ik ben een echte dierenvriendin, maar heb tot mijn grote spijt op het moment geen ruimte voor een eigen kat en/of hond. Dat bewaar ik dan maar voor in de toekomst :). Dat ik door mijn gebrek aan regelmaat geen een eigen hond of kat kan adopteren, geeft me wel de tijd en ruimte om met jóúw hond/kat te kroelen, rennen, wandelen. Hoe leuk! Ik heb heel veel liefde te geven, ben sociaal, geduldig, enthousiast, actief, zachtaardig. :) Ik ben dol op lange (strand)wandelingen, maar vind gezellig husseknussen in huis net zo leuk. Tot gauw?

Ik hou van honden

Het verzorgen van dieren begon als een hobby of een speciale manier om voor de dieren van mijn vrienden te zorgen. In het begin zorgde ik voor huisdieren van vrienden die voor hun werk of voor een korte vakantie naar het buitenland gingen. Ik heb op honden gepast bij mij thuis, voor wandelingen of om naar hun eigen huis te gaan. Ik woon in een studio vlakbij het park tegenover de rechtenfaculteit. Ik heb een flexibel schema om voor ze te zorgen. Mijn vrienden zeggen dat ik een speciale gave heb met honden en begonnen me aan te bevelen bij andere mensen met huisdieren en zo is het allemaal begonnen.

lieve vrouw, fijne kennismaking en duidelijke updates met lieve foto’s van je huisdier tijdens het oppasmoment. heel dankbaar! ❤️

Loving Care for All Animals <3

I love animals and have a lot of experience both with my own pets (of which I had quite a variety growing up) and also pet sitting. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personality types. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I get a lot of joy from being around animals, and would love to share my love and attention with your furry family members! I'm currently a PhD student at Leiden University and so my schedule is quite flexible. Since I've been moving around a lot the past several years, I'm unable to have my own pets, and so I love every opportunity I have to get to spend time with someone else's pets. I'm looking forward to meeting yours soon! :-)

Skylar is great !! communicative and loving with Bu! can’t wait to have her help again

Experienced,caring, Loving, and Patient with Dogs

I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, including my own beloved Shih Tzu-Terrier, Bani, who was part of my life since she was a puppy. Caring for her taught me everything from basic needs to medical attention. Sadly, we recently lost her to a genetic condition, and it was the hardest moment of my life. Since then, my dream has been to continue sharing love and care with other dogs. I’ve also helped care for the dogs of friends back in my country, including those with behavioral challenges. I truly love dogs, connect with them easily, and will treat every dog in my care like family—with love, patience, and joy. I will spend quality time with them, go on walks, play, and ensure they feel safe and happy at all times.

Testimonial

Hello, I want to talk about Ms. Ainaz Soleymani who is my pet sitter. She takes care of my dog (Toby) with incredible kindness and responsibility, and I feel completely at ease knowing my Toby is with her. She pays close attention to his needs and always treats him with love and gentleness. My dog truly loves her and feels comfortable around her. She is caring, punctual, and extremely trustworthy—qualities that make it easy for me to confidently entrust my beloved pet to her. With Respect, Armita

Dieren houden van een zachte G!!!

Ik ben opgegroeid met poezen en het is een dagelijks gemis om nu niet in het gezelschap te zijn van een huisdier. Sinds kind ben ik een enorme dieren-fan. Ik ben nu nog te veel aan het reizen om zelf een hond of kat een those bieden. Tot ik een vast thuis heb zou ik super graag toch manieren willen vinden om met dieren in contact te komen. Groot of Klein, ik ben met alles blij! Ik hou sowieso van wandelen en het lijkt me super gezellig dit met een hond te doen, maar als kattenoppas heb ik ook ervaring.

Excited to meet your furbabies!

Hi, I'm Alina and ive been around cats and dogs technically my whole life. At the moment, due to the lack of space and my lifestyle, I can't have a dog or a cat which is what made me sign up as a sitter/walker. I'm looking forward to making new furry friends and bonding with new cats and dogs. I have a lot of patience and experience with fussy babies, senior cats and dogs and with puppies as well. I have been catsitting for friends on and off for more than 9 years now, and I have been a dog walker in the past. I can handle both small dogs and larger breeds. Back home, i own a Golden Retriever, so I am very familiar with hyper dogs and ones that need a lot of time and attention. I grew up with cats and later on, i had my own cat while living by myself. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

Reageerde snel en alles volgens afspraak verlopen. Joep heeft een fijne dag gehad.

Looking for Furry Friends to Care For

Hi! I’m Hongfei, a gentle and caring animal lover based in Amstelveen. I’m currently doing a research master’s at UvA, and this is my fourth year living in the Netherlands. I can’t have pets in my apartment (and it wouldn’t be fair to them since I sometimes travel), so taking care of other people’s animals is a way for me to stay close to the animals I love. I grew up around animals and have always enjoyed spending time with cats and small pets. I’m calm, patient, and very attentive, which helps animals feel safe and relaxed around me. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to adapt to their rhythm — whether that means playtime, quiet company, or simply keeping their routine steady.

Hongfei was really great! My dog is very anxious so I was very afraid of a new person coming in and taking him out while I was away on vacation. But Hongfei managed to get him to like her and together they enjoyed many walks. He looked extremely happy in all videos and photos :)
