Caring, playful and conscious dog-sitter

I've been caring for pups for around 10 years, either my own or through pet-sitting :) I enjoy playing, walks, and cuddles, and am comfortable with all sorts of personalities these little ones may have. I myself am quite easygoing, flexible and thoughtful, and highly value communication. If you decide I am the right person to take care of your pup, I can promise they will be in good hands and I will make my best to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable for both you and the doggie(s). Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions! Look forward to meeting you 🐕🐾

Daniella has been great with Filou, we have been away for 2 weeks and could enjoy it carefree.

Hondenliefhebber Biedt Avontuurlijke wandelingen

Hoi! Ik ben Nalou uit Den Haag. Als kind liet ik al de honden uit van de buren en die liefde voor honden is nooit verdwenen. Zelf heb ik geen hond omdat ik graag reis en spontaan er op uit trek, maar ik mis wel de gezelschap van deze trouwe viervoeters! Daarom lijkt PetBnB mij de perfecte mogelijkheid om met jouw hond te kunnen wandelen in de prachtige natuur rondom Den Haag! Ik ben flexibel qua schema en heb ruime ervaring met oppassen op huisdieren en het uitlaten van honden. Ik vind het ontzettend leuk om lange wandelingen te maken door de bossen of duinen. Ik hoop dan ook op actieve en sociale honden die net zo veel van avontuur houden als ik! Wat ik aanbied: * Individuele wandelingen (alle aandacht voor jouw hond) * Lange wandelingen voor energieke honden * Verkenning van de mooiste parken in Den Haag * Heerlijke strandwandelingen Stuur gerust een berichtje als je denkt dat ik de perfecte oppas ben voor jouw trouwe vriend! :)

De zorg voor de hond was perfect :ok_hand_tone1: alles op tijd, wandelingen regelmatig, eten gegeven volgens de afspraken en de hond was blij en rustig. Echt professioneel en met veel toewijding. Je ziet dat zij goed met dieren omgaat. Zeker een aanrader!

Loving, Safe & Fun Dog Care Services

Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover and caregiver with two big dogs of my own—a Husky and a Swiss Shepherd—who are like my sons! Living with these energetic and intelligent breeds has taught me how to handle dogs with patience, love, and confidence. I treat every dog I care for as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. I’m also studying to become a certified dog trainer, so your dog will be cared for by someone who understands behavior and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, your dog will be in great hands with me.

Zoals elke keer- weer super! De hondjes zijn zó blij als ze Djeine zien - en op de filmpjes die we krijgen zie je hóe fijn ze het hebben.

The Best Staycation for your pet!

Hi! My name is Iza Vie. Growing up with dogs and cats, I’ve always had a love for animals, and I’ll make sure your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve. I have experience caring for a wide range of dog breeds, from Jack Russells to Golden Retrievers and Fila Brasileiros. Every dog has their own personality, and I adapt my care to suit their needs—whether they love long walks, playful games, or simply relaxing with some belly rubs. You can also expect regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to care for all animals, provided they are comfortable around my friendly Golden Retriever, Nova. To ensure a good match, we will arrange a meetup in advance. Want your pet to have a great time while you’re away? Send me a message, and let’s meet!

Ik ben Femke:) Lieve, zorgzame, actieve oppasser!

Hoi! Ik ben Femke :) Zelf ben ik eigenaar van een lieve medium labradoodle van 5 jaar. Wat ik het liefst doe is heerlijk lange strandwandelingen maken en lekker spelen met de bal. Gelukkig vinden honden dit ook leuk om te doen ;) Ik ben alweer meer dan 10 jaar hondenoppasser, zowel vakantieopvang als het uitlaten van honden. Mijn eigen hond Freddie vind het altijd heerlijk zoveel speelmaatjes om zich heen! Ik woon tegenover de duinen en op 5 minuten lopen van het strand. We hebben een tuin welke is afgeschermd. Zelf ben ik natuurgids en het liefst de hele dag buiten. De honden zitten dan ook nooit lang binnen bij mij. Zoek je een hondenoppas die lekkere lange wandelingen maakt, flexibel is en ook nog eens ontzettend lief? :) Stuur gerust even een berichtje, er is veel mogelijk!

Patient Leiden Dog Friend

I raised my Labrador Retriever for three years, from puppyhood to adulthood. Caring for him day in and day out taught me great patience and understanding of a dog's daily needs. Except for special circumstances, I spent over two hours every day on walks and playing at the park, where he happily socialized with other dogs.This regular park time allowed me to interact with many different dogs. Additionally, my volunteer work with an animal protection association gave me valuable experience caring for rescued stray dogs. These experiences help me to know how to approach different pups and befriending with them. I genuinely love dogs and cherish every moment spent with them. When your furry family stays with me, they'll receive attentive care and companionship. I'll try my best to make they feel safe, comfortable, and happy, whether we're out playing or relaxing. I promise to look after your precious pooch with the same care and affection I gave my own Lab. Every dog is an angel.

Isle is an excellent petsitter. She is very kind and took perfect care of our two cats. I recommend her 100% Thanks again!

Wagging Tails & Purring Hearts

Hi! I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter who adores cats and enjoys walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your cat needs a quiet companion who respects their space or a playful pal while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I have years of experience caring for cats — including seniors and those needing medications (pills, eye drops, topicals, or injections). I also love going for walks with dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and can do multiple visits a day if needed. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine — and treat them like family!

gezellige honden oppas

Hi! Ik ben Sylvie, 30 jaar. Ik hou heel erg van honden, en heb zelf ook 2 honden gehad. Ik vind het heel leuk om op te passen, te spelen en te wandelen met de honden. Ik kan het makkelijk combineren met mijn werk, en ik ben vrij flexibel. Ik heb al jaren ervaring met verschillende rassen, van energieke pups tot rustige senioren, en ik geniet er echt van om ze persoonlijke aandacht en liefde te geven. Honden brengen zoveel vrolijkheid en gezelschap, ik behandel ze alsof het mijn eigen zijn. Neem gerust contact op, dan kunnen we kijken of het wellicht een match is!

Sylvie en vriend waren superlief voor Indra, ondanks dat onze jonge hond bij de kennismaking nogal onvriendelijk tegen ze was.. maar ze prikten zo door haar geblaf heen en hebben haar een fijne plek geboden, met leuke foto-updates voor ons. We komen zeker terug!

People say ‘dogs seem to love you’ – new in Delft

Hi! I’m a Japanese dog lover based in Delft. I speak a little Dutch, fluent English, and—most importantly—very fluent dog language! Seeing a dog on the street always brightens my day. Although I don’t currently live with a dog myself (that’s one of my life goals), my freelance work can sometimes be unpredictable. Still, all my friends call me a “dog whisperer.” Back in Tokyo, my parents have a young Beagle boy named Theo—I gave him the name myself, and we video call every day. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I honestly can’t imagine a world without them. I’m new to Petbnb, but I’ve previously worked as a dog sitter in Amsterdam and also fostered a rescue dog from Spain. Through these experiences, I’ve naturally become more sensitive to each dog’s rhythm, curiosity, and emotional world. Every dog communicates differently, yet they all share that beautiful, unfiltered way of expressing love and trust—that’s what makes them so special to me.

I love animals more than humans

My name is Ahmed Mowafy and I work in theatre. I currently live with one cat, but I’ve also had dogs before—and honestly, I love animals more than humans. I could spend hours playing with them, cuddling, and making sure they’re fed and happy—no matter the size or breed. Animals have their own personalities, and they feel people deeply. They bring me joy, calm, and pure energy. Their love is unconditional, and they ask for nothing in return. We could learn a lot from them—especially about kindness and being better to one another. Simple as that. You will learn how to love with animals

book me and help me back to 5 paws!!!

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I’m an animal lover currently living in Leiden. I am a phd student whose main task is writing up her phd dissertation. As a result, I could have a very flexible schedule and I could work from home to stay with pets. I truly miss having animals around me and would love to spend more time caring for cats and dogs. I noticed that I got a review with very positive content but only 4 paws in rating. I am a bit confused about this. Is it because an accidentally wrong click or something? But no worries I know that I am the best sitter and I take best care of the animals and I reply messages very quick and I update a lot of photos and videos. I give a lot of attention and cuddle them a lot. I speak to them with the softest voice. I follow the instructions well and I am always willing to do more. I love and take care of the animals not just I want a nice review record but I truly love them. I'll be a bit sad if I am gonna miss some adorable animals because of this 4 paws review. No I need 15 more 5-paw reviews to go back to 5-paw 😭 IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST: I usually responde fast, and I appreciate EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION that you can save your time to company your fluffy boys and girls more. We value each other's time. I only speak English. My place is only a 42 m2 appartment with a seperate bedroom. Not a good choice for villa dogs. I live in an apartment. As a result, I can't accept dogs with barking issues. This is a red flag for my neighbors. I usually don't accept dogs with separation anxieties. In special situation you can ask and I can prepare myself. I can only accept one dog at a time. It depends on your preferences that you can state clearly. My recently experience showed that dogs can make friends immediately and enjoy each other. They can calm down or feel relaxed quicker than staying with a sitter alone. However, my family dog doesn't like sharing humans with other dogs. He will be a bit jealous. So it depends. I care about the tidiness of the house in a way that both pets and humans can enjoy a nice living space. I allow pets on sofa and furnitures and on my laps. I would like to cuddle them a lot. As a result, I would clean the paws after each walk using a soft wet wipe in a very gentle way. If your pet doesn't like paws being touched, then I am not a suitable sitter for them. For safety reasons, I don't accept boys and girls who are heavier than 25kg. Otherwise I may have difficulties in unusual situations where I need to carry/lift them. IF YOU ARE STILL INTERESTED IN ME, here is my background: My family has a cream-colored Shiba Inu who is incredibly adorable. I also have hands-on experience caring for a British Shorthair silver shaded cat, whom I looked after for several months while helping a friend. During that time, I was responsible for daily feeding, litter cleaning, and providing companionship, while keeping the cat comfortable and relaxed in its usual routine. Animals have always been an important part of my life. My mom is especially good at caring for animals — from chicks, birds, and rabbits to dogs — and she has always taken excellent care of them. Growing up in that environment, I believe I’ve inherited her patience, sense of responsibility, and genuine love for animals. When babysitting, I focus on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and calm interaction based on their energy level. For cats, I respect their personality — whether they enjoy active play or prefer quiet company. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. Before each stay, I’m happy to arrange a visit or meet-up with you and your pets so we can go through any important details together. I truly appreciate it when owners share their pets’ preferences, habits, and routines — every boy and girl is unique, and understanding what they like helps me provide better, more personalized care. I pay close attention to safety, hygiene, and the well-being of each animal, and I’m always willing to adapt my care to different personalities or special needs. I genuinely enjoy looking after pets and value the comfort and joy they bring. I would be more than happy to provide a safe, caring, and loving environment where your furry family members feel secure and well cared for.

Lynn is een fantastische lieve goede oppas!! Zeer aan te bevelen!

Familie past graag op kindvriendelijke dieren

Een familie met grote dierenvrienden. Onze 1.5 jaar oude zoon is compleet dol op dieren in alle soorten en maten. We hebben zelf geen huisdieren omdat we regelmatig op vakantie gaan. Daarom stellen we ons huis graag open voor jouw huisdieren. Wegens onze zoon dus alleen huisdieren die leuk met kleine kinderen zijn. We wonen in het centrum van Den Haag, maar gaan ook graag op pad richting strand of duinen. We zijn veel overdag thuis en kunnen je huisdier dus genoeg aandacht en liefde geven. Qua ervaring hebben we vaker op katten van vrienden gepast, maar nooit eerder van onbekenden. Op honden hebben we nooit eerder gepast, maar we hopen dat daar snel verandering in komt.

Wat heeft Bono het ontzettend leuk gehad bij jullie! Super leuk zoveel gedaan en leuk dat Floran en Bono goede vriendjes geworden zijn.

Looking for a sweet companion for walks!

I am looking for a sweet canine companion to take care of on either daily bases or a few times per week! I also do house sitting or dog boarding, depending on availability :-) I'm a calm person who loves animals and find dogs to be great companions and have taken care of both dogs and cats before. I can house sit or host your pet, depending on arrangement. I have experience and a lot of patience for young dogs who are still learning how to walk on a leash and like being a part of their learning journey. As an Illustrator, I have a lot of free time on my hands and like to spend my days outside, going to parks, the beach and I walk a lot in general, so a dog would have lots of fun and different days with me, full of all sorts of smells and open areas to play in.

Daisy stayed with Anna for one week and it was absolutely a great vacation not only for us but for her as well. Anna is a very caring person who listens to you and your doggie’s needs and asks questions whenever something needs extra information. We absolutely recommend Anna if you want your doggie to have a relaxing and happy stay!

Lief gezin die ervaring wil opdoen met huisdieren

Ik woon in Haarlem met mijn man en 2 dochters van 5 en 7. Mijn jongste dochter is heel erg fan van dieren. Ze wil ook dierendokter worden :) Mijn man en ik vinden honden en poezen leuk maar werken beiden waardoor we ze niet de aandacht kunnen geven die nodig is. Daarom willen we in het weekend of in de vakantie graag oppassen, als we echt tijd hebben. We hebben weinig ervaring zeg ik er eerlijk bij. Maar we zijn lief en verantwoordelijk. En we zullen snel leren. Het kan bij ons of bij u. Dan wel graan met mijn kinderen erbij. Stel gerust vragen om meer over ons te weten te komen.

Experienced Pet Care & Animal Lover

I have 6 years of experience caring for cats and currently have two cats of my own: a 7-year-old British Shorthair boy and a 5-year-old Chinchilla/British Shorthair silver shaded mixed girl. Both are neutered and very healthy. Over the years, I have gained experience handling different situations including ringworm, urinary blockage, vomiting, diarrhea, heat-related behaviors, medication administration, vet visits, and daily home care. Fortunately, my cats rarely get sick because I pay close attention to their nutrition, health, and emotional wellbeing. I am experienced with mixed wet and dry food feeding, and I also make homemade cat meals and meatballs to provide balanced nutrition. Since my cats are naturally prone to weight gain, I care a lot about healthy weight management and regular exercise to protect their heart and overall health. I truly enjoy spending time with cats and keeping them mentally and physically active. I can play with them using teaser wands, balls, cat trees, scratching boards, interactive toys, laser pointers, and other enrichment activities depending on each cat’s personality and preferences. I am also happy to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, litter cleaning, playtime, companionship, or exercise and weight-control plans. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. :)

Xiaobing took wonderful care of my cat, Réglisse. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with messages after every visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Réglisse quickly felt comfortable with her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!
