Dog Sitters in Gelderland

I found Jens and Birgit to be very caring people who had the best interests of my pets at heart. At the time of their sit I had taken in a stray dog and they have decided to adopt him. Unfortunately they could not do the whole sit, but they handed over to the next people with no problem at all. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a house/pet sitter.

Anita was the dream package. Very capable. Immaculately clean and loved our animals. She had total respect for our home. Definitely recommend her! Hope she comes back!

Ilona & Eric stayed at our place for a few weeks over Christmas and did a great job looking after our cats and apartment! Organising the sit was easy and straightforward. Ilona & Eric were very well organised and kept us updated as they booked their travel and planned the visit. Communication was great throughout the sit. The cats were very well looked after, and we appreciated that Ilona and Eric took the time to understand the cat's needs before we left, especially how to handle medication. This made it easy to go away without worrying about the cats! Our plants were also very well cared for. We had a fun dinner together before we left, and really enjoyed getting to know each other. All in all, we were very happy with the sit and can strongly recommend Ilona & Eric as sitters. We would be happy to have them stay with us again any time.

Jimena did a wonderful job. She looked after Remus so brilliantly, as well as the house and garden. She is very organised & self-reliant. Thank you Jimena

Karen and Johan were wonderful pet and house sitters. They took great care of my pup and were clean and tidy. They even left me some delicious goodies as a thank you. I highly recommend.

Amazing 🤩 and absolutely not enough stars to rate Veerle & Tijs. We couldn’t have wished for more perfect sitters for this last minute sit of very short duration. The communication was great from the start, and Veerle & Tijs arrived on time and with enough time to share for us to do a calm handover. Our animals all loved them, even Roby our shy dog didn’t take long to fall in love with them! Everything was perfect. The house was spotless when we returned - and all animals were super relaxed. Veerle & Tijs also brought food presents with them, such as some fresh caught fish and a home baked banana bread 😋 we will fondly remember their stay with us and will happily welcome them back anytime. We feel like we have gained some new friends and are simply blown away not only by their professional attitude but even more by their incredibly warm and caring energy. We can recommend Veerle & Tijs to any pet owner without hesitation ❤️

I will highly recommend Suzanne! She cared not only for my two dogs and ~20 chickens during my three weeks vacation, she also took care of the pool and watered plants and fruit trees. Everything in perfect order and she surprised me with homemade chocolate fudge when I come home. She is more than welcome back.

Annet was lovely, very straightforward, easy to get on with and kind and loving towards our dogs. All you could wish for.

Manuela is a very sweet girl. She is social and kind to others. She helped my parents a lot (who live next door) and my mother really was a great fan of her. So she has good social skills. Manuela uses this site so she can find a place to stay, while she is looking for a job in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. While she was staying in NL, she was following a study at the University. All that of course is not a problem at all; I realize that a lot of people here are using this site to find free or cheap accomodation. However this is a pet site, so the reliability and the quality of the petsitting should be the primary focus. 10 days before the sitting would take place, she informed me that she wouldn't be able to be present during the entire sit due to an in-person conference at the university that would last for a week. Of course this was less then ideal to me but since it was impossible to find another petsitter on such a short notice I went out of my way to find a replacement, and decided to pursue with her as my petsitter. However, half way during her stay she mentioned she would be gone for another week to do her exams at the university. So out of the entire month, she was only present for 50% of it. I had to make sure that I could find a replacement again. Luckily my stepdad was willing to take the care upon him. My pets are my babies so it is super important for me that the petsitter who applies for a period, actually is there the entire period. One of my cats, Frances was not eating well during her stay at my house. Of course that can happen; animals can get sick any time and that doesn't need to be a result of the care. However, my stepdad told me that the bowls in where the cats got their food in, were not clean and got dirty and even mold in it. When he stepped in and cleaned the bowls, Frances started eating again and after a couple of days he was back on his normal eating pattern. Another incident was with the rabbits, I gave her a manual in where I explicitly told her which veggies to give the rabbits and which not. I was not amused to see that she had fed them an entire plate of cut up carrots, while I had told her that they could only have a little piece of a carrot per day. My rabbits have supersensitive intestines and quickly to get gas problems. Carrots have a lot of sugar, so an entire plate can cause problems. Manuela did apply requests I made during my stay abroad; she did apply a spray against flies, when I asked her to and even washed one of the bunnies when that needed to happen. When I came home, I had to do some cleaning. Manuela hadn't noticed that the cats had been spraying on different places, including the kitchen counter and kitchen walls and cabinets. The state of the house was less important to me; I did notice she had cleaned the rabbit area very well so I was happy about that. I think Manuela did her best but just is a bit more casual about things then I would be.

Ilse was very responsive and reliable. Took great care of the dogs and gave lots of updates. Would recommend her to anybody that needs a sitter.

We were so lucky to have Anke and her family look after our home and pets. Everything was perfect , they were so caring with the animals and it was such a relief to have them in our house looking after everything. They even took Roxy our on a bike tour with them to the local town,. Anke gave us frequent updates and Roxy was very upset when they left ! She kept looking for them. I would thoroughly recommend Anke and her family to anyone looking for happy pets and happy home.

Here's We had the pleasure of having Jamie and Piet look after our house, garden, and pets for three weeks while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for better caretakers. From the very first online contact, we felt a connection with them. We had made a small mistake in our planning, but Jamie and Piet handled it with such ease and flexibility, which immediately put us at ease. Meeting them in person before our departure confirmed our confidence in leaving our home in their capable hands. Throughout our time away, they were incredibly self-sufficient, only sending the occasional update, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. This can be considered remarkable knowing that our home has its own set of quirks. Particularly delightful was hearing from several neighbors that Jamie and Piet were not only excellent house sitters but also incredibly kind and friendly. Knowing that their qualities didn’t go unnoticed by our neighbors is perhaps the highest compliment they could receive. When we returned home, the thoughtful notes they left behind felt like a warm welcome, and we were especially touched by the delicious meal they had prepared for us. Jamie and Piet come highly recommended as house sitters, and we are truly grateful to them for allowing us to enjoy our vacation with complete peace of mind. Thank you so much for all three of you!
