Pet Sitting in Zwanenburg

Pet Island is open!

Hoi! We are Nick and Lili. We speak Dutch, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese in both human and dog language ;) We live on a peaceful island on the border of Zaandam, in a special place close to the Zaanse Schans and the Natural Reserve Area of Kalverpolder, near Amsterdam. Although we don’t have our own dogs, we love animals, and are lucky to have a fun "fauna" here already: from a turtle that visits from time to time to all kinds of waterfowl. Our 'dogiculum': Nick was brought up in France and Spain, raised with a lot of Irish Setters. Lili, growing up in Brazil made her very familiar with all types of street and rescue dogs. After more than 3 years as dog sitters, we have the experience of over 100 happy clients. It has been an educational journey for us learning about dogs, their various quirks and and getting to know so many different dogs and becoming a part of their lives. We now believe dogs have a unique experience here, as they can exist in near total freedom, in a pack, playing, foraging, chilling or even sleeping together, and with our near constant near-presence. That's how we reached progressively this “spa-like” bubble environment, where dogs can socialize and/or relax at their will. If we have only one guest, they stay with us in the main house of course. Some extra info: . Our island has 3 main buildings, one of them is the guesthouse transformed into a doggyhouse. It’s surrounded by a big 'foresty garden’ and the super clean air. They have a fenced and safe area at their disposition for playing and lounging outside. . As we both work from home, we have lots of time and love for our guests, and so they are usually supervised 24/7. . Walks are included as they have access to the garden whenever we go walking throughout the island's interwoven paths. . We do not take dogs that are either too anxious, protective or aggressive (ie. German Shepherds, Stafforshire-types, Pitbulls, etc). Hope to see you soon at our Pet-Island :) Nick & Lili.

Hugo heeft het erg naar zijn zin gehad.

🐾 Loving & reliable dog care couple in Amsterdam

Hi! We’re Vicky & Adam, a dog-loving couple based in Amsterdam. While we don’t have a dog of our own (yet!), we both adore spending time with them. My boyfriend has three years of hands-on experience raising a Cockapoo before moving to the Netherlands, and together we’d love to offer a safe, caring, and fun environment for your furry friend. We enjoy long walks around the beautiful parks in our area, plenty of playtime, and of course all the cuddles your dog could want. You can count on us to be reliable, responsible, and attentive to your dog’s needs - whether that’s walks, sitting, or just good company while you’re away. We treat every dog as if they were our own and will make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for while with us. 🐾

So nice and caring! Giz had a great time

Your Pet’s Second Home 🐾 🏡

Hi Pet Parent 👋 ! My wife and I are animal lovers who enjoy caring for dogs and cats together. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so looking after pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I have learned how important patience, attention, and a calm environment are for making animals feel comfortable. We will make sure your pet receives plenty of care, affection, playtime, walks, and rest, depending on their usual routine and needs. We understand that every animal has their own personality, habits, and preferences, so we will always follow your instructions carefully. While your pet is staying with us, they will be treated as part of the family in a safe and welcoming environment. We are also happy to send regular photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry friend is being well looked after. Looking forward to meeting you😊

Bella had such a wonderful time! They were absolutely lovely with her and took such good care of her. We even received photos during her stay, which was so nice! I would definitely recommend them, and Bella will absolutely be staying with them again. ❤️:feet:

Loving and experienced dog sitter from China

Hello dog lovers , I'm Jingyi (Matilda) from China. Note: ❣️ I am working in the office from Monday to Thursday per week at the moment. And working from home on Fridays. So I can only take full care of dogs on Fridays and weekends, or if you don’t mind the dogs stay at home during day time 9am to 6pm, I am more than willing to petsit them as well. For sure I will walk them before I leave the house and right after I come back from work. FYI - I live with a roommate - she’s also from China and she’s doing pet sitting too. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Matilda

Jingyi took really good care of our whippet pup Kira. Kira seemed to feel at home rather quickly and Jingyi asked many questions when we dropped by to make sure that Kira would have the best possible stay. Communication also was quick and clear. Would definitely bring Kira here again sometime. Thank you :)

International couple with a love for animals

Richard and I have both grown up with and have taken care of pets most of our life. Richard had 2 medium-large dogs growing up and I grew up with 2 cats (currently we do not have pets at our home but would love them in the future). Most of all we love animals and happy to help anyone that needs reliable pet sitters! We live in a quiet residential area in Amsterdam, and our apartment is large enough for dogs of all sizes. We live in a building with other dogs and children so it is important that your furry friend is friendly to other dogs and children! We are located walking distance to a park so long walks will definitely be part of our schedule (if that’s something your pet likes!). We are able to help train your dogs with anything you are working on and of course, will make sure we provide the specific food and amounts you have instructed. We are calm, friendly and active people who have been around dogs and other pets throughout our lives and would love any opportunity to spend time with furry friends.

We have experience with feeding schedules, litter box care, and play sessions. We’re comfortable with both independent cats and affectionate lap‑cats. 🏠 Sitting style & availability We are flexible with arrangements and can welcome pets into our home or offer drop‑in visits, always focusing on keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away.

Flexibel en dierenliefhebber

Sinds jongs af aan heb ik veel honden in huis gehad. Het waren voornamelijk honden die gered werden van de armoedige straten in Egypte. Ik heb daarom een grote liefde ontwikkeld voor dieren en voornamelijk honden. Ik ben over het algemeen elke dag beschikbaar en ben als persoon erg flexibel als het gaat om tijd. Wandelen doe ik graag, dus een hond aan mijn zijde hebben voor een paar uurtjes is alleen maar top. Voor de rest ben ik een persoon die zich goed houdt aan schema's en zeer attentief is als het gaat om bijzonderheden die in achting moeten worden genomen.

Rasha is heel lief met honden en mijn Honny heeft zich erg op haar gemak gevoeld in haar gezin. Tussendoor stuurde Rasha foto’s van Honny en dat was heel fijn.

Caring Pet Sitter Who’ll Love Your Pet Like My Own

Hi ! My name is Olya. I am a passionate animal lover who is happiest when surrounded by furry friends. Growing up with pets, I have always had a special bond with animals. I know how much your pet means to you, and I will treat it with the same love and care I would give my own. I’m the person who stops to say hi to every dog or cat on the street.

You can relax knowing your best friend is in kind and capable hands. Let me take care of your pet as if they were my own. I promise it will get plenty of love, belly rubs, and happy tail wags while you are away! 🐶❤️

Olya and her partner take care of Moos while I was celebrating my birthday. Moos is so cozy with them, this feels very relaxed for me to leave. And I was a little bit too late to pick Moos up, but Olya didn't bother. So nice. Love this couple!

Animal lover with pet experience

Hi, I’m Maite. I am a biologist from Spain that loves animals and is looking forward to take care of your pet. I am familiar with big breeds like samoyed, checkslovakian wolf dog and german shepherd. I also love kitties, as I had a small black cat when I was little. My apartment is very spacious and located in the heart of Amsterdam, in a residential neighbourhood so your pet will not be around tourists or with high traffic. My partner, back at his home town, has 2 big leon bergers so we are really familiar with dealing with big doggos as well. Pls ask me any questions that you may have :) Maite.

Unser kleiner Hund hat sich pudelwohl gefühlt und wurde liebevoll und perfekt von Maite betreut. Wir als Hundeeltern hatten sofort ein gutes Gefühl, denn Maite ist sehr freundlich, offen und hilfsbereit, so dass wir unbesorgt unseren Museumsbesuch in Amsterdam genießen konnten.

Een tweede thuis voor jou viervoeter 🐾💕

Hoi hoi lieve Pawparents 🐾 Mijn naam is Kezia. Ik woon hier inmiddels 6 jaar, kom oorspronkelijk uit Indonesië en ben gelukkig getrouwd. Samen zijn we gezegend met twee prachtige kinderen: een dochter van 9 jaar en een zoontje van 3. We zijn echte hondenliefhebbers en gewend om met honden samen te leven. ❤️ We hebben zelf ook een hond: Bolt, een kleine Chihuahua van 9 jaar. Omdat ik altijd thuis ben, lijkt het me ontzettend leuk om op honden te passen. Honden die bij ons komen logeren moeten wel goed met andere honden kunnen omgaan 🥰 Dan kunnen ze samen met mijn eigen hondje, Bolt, van elkaars gezelschap genieten 💃 We wonen in een huis met een volledig omheinde achtertuin, waar jouw viervoeter veilig kan spelen. In onze keukendeur zit een klein dierenluikje, waardoor kleine honden zelfstandig naar binnen en buiten kunnen lopen (ideaal voor honden die van een beetje vrijheid houden!) 😉 Bij ons krijgen jouw honden niet alleen goede zorg, maar ook liefde, aandacht en knuffels. Of ze nu overdag komen spelen of ’s nachts blijven logeren, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich hier thuis en gelukkig voelen. ❤️ Ik kijk er enorm naar uit om jouw hond(en) te leren kennen! Laten we zeker een kennismaking plannen zodat we vertrouwen kunnen opbouwen voordat je je trouwe vriend aan ons toevertrouwt. Lieve groetjes 🐾 Kezia 🫶

Meissie injoyed her stayover a lot. Thank you for taking very good care of my best friend!

Puur-fect Pet Sitter in Amsterdam

Hello hello, My name is Ira and I have been pet sitting dogs 5 years now. I am able to pet sit for longer periods of time and be quite flexible as my boyfriend also assists me. Meeting your pet beforehand would be perfect for me, in order to make sure they will be comfortable around me. Pet sitting has been amazing so far, with walks during the day in the park and nice cuddling on my couch! Be sure your pet will be treated with love and have some great time in a loving home environment just like family. Looking forward to meet you and your pet! Thanks a lot, Ira

From the pictures Ira sent us every day, Maggie clearly had a great time while we were away... lots of walks, cuddles on the couch and plenty of attention, she seemed happy and relaxed and our house was also in perfect order. Ira has a really calm and confident energy about her that puts you at ease straight away, and you can see why dogs feel so comfortable around her. We felt completely at ease leaving Maggie and our home with her. We’d happily have Ira sit for us again and would highly recommend her.

Pet Nutritionist looking for extra furry friends

Hi, I’m Alice, 31 and relocated to the Netherlands from the UK. I have always grown up with dogs and currently have two dogs in the UK (Hope and Duke in my pictures) who I miss a lot so I thought Pet BNB would be the perfect opportunity to spend more time with four legged friends, whilst also helping their owners. I have also worked in the Petfood industry for the past 8 years as a Pet Nutritionist, so I hope you feel reassured that your dog will be in the best hands! I can also give you some bonus feeding advice for free if you should need it! Finally, due to working full time and my company’s expectations of office days - I will need to be flexible with the days I offer to pet owners and their pets. If you’d like to book in a set day with me to walk or petsit then Mondays or Fridays work best during the week. My availability Tuesday through to Thursday may vary depending on my working week but I do try and always keep my calendar up to date. I look forward to looking after your dog in the future! Best Wishes, Alice

Alice is an amazing caretaker 🐕:heartpulse: Ciri adores her:grin:

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!

Ervaren hondenoppas met hond zoeken maatje 🐶

Hallo 👋🏽! Ik ben Sabien en mijn hondje uit Roemenië heet Pietje. Het lijkt ons heel gezellig om een maatje voor Pietje te hebben en jouw hond een gezellige tijd te geven wanneer jij weg bent. Ik ben opgegroeid met honden, konijnen en kippen, een fantastische beestenboel! Vijf jaar lang was ik hondenoppas van het hondje van de buren. Mijn familie had een asielhondje. Sinds een jaar heb ik Pietje. Hij komt uit Roemenië en is 4 jaar. Hij is lief maar ook onzeker. Het zou goed voor hem zijn als hij een maatje heeft op wie hij kan optrekken. Ik ben beschikbaar op vrijdag en in het weekend. Hopelijk tot snel 🐶💕!

Superbetrouwbaar, én lief. Mijn hond was in uitstekende handen bij haar.

I’m Cristina!You can paws and relax, I’ve got it!

🐶 Review from Milu (Cristina’s first dog): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Mom is the best! Gives the best belly rubs, great at pretending to be a statue if I’m napping on her lap, and never forgets snack time. She even sings to me (a little off-key, but I don’t mind). 10/10 would chase squirrels with her again!” 🐾 Hi and welcome to my profile! Now that I have you here, let me tell you a bit about myself! I’m 28, live by myself in a 50sqm apartment in the Amsterdam West area; by the OLVG West. I have always loved and respected animals and my heart has always been drawn to dogs! Originally I am from Romania and I grew up in Greece, where I moved out from last year; traded sunny beaches for moody weather and picturesque houses and squares with which I’m consistently in love! A few things about my parenting style - my curiosity of dog psychology and my will to be a better mom to Milu lead me into long hours reading and researching all topics regarding behavior and psychology, nutrition, exercises and training and well as the specific needs of different breeds. I bring love, patience, understanding and curiosity about the intricacies of each breed and character. What brings me here is how much I miss my little girl! Unfortunately I lost her to a heart condition and while I still find it painful, losing her and to balm down my wounds, I think caring for and receiving a little bit of love here and there would also make me very very happy! While I tried to share as much as possible about me, which I imagine someone would want to know before entrusting a stranger with their baby - I encourage you to reach out and have a chat with me about anything else you’d like to know- regardless of weather you’ll pick me or not to take care of your pet!

We had a great experience with Cristina! There was an instant connection between her and Ivy, and Ivy clearly felt very comfortable with her. Cristina was caring, attentive and made her feel right at home. Ivy even gave her lots of hugs & kisses! We’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommended! :feet:❤️

Tons of love for fur friends!

Hi! Im Dora and would like to take care of your fur friends. I never had my own furry friend back home because I didn't have the basic conditions for the care and beautiful life of a pet. But that's why I volunteered a lot, took care of friends' pets and temporarily adopted pets until we found them a forever home. I have experience with different breeds,which resulted in a better understanding and having more patience, giving each of them the special treatment they require.Be sure that your pet will receive lots of love, attention and necessary care. I look forward to cooperation! Your dog&cat lady 🤎

Dora is simply amazing!! Jackson absolutely loves her and her partner. They took amazing care of him and were so kind to share updates and photographs! Jackson cannot wait to stay with them again. Highly recommend !
