Charles is the absolute best. I never worry about a thing when he’s watching my home and dog. I can’t wait to have him back again soon!
Kelly and Sam were great with my dog and took good care of the house.
The Emilys were incredibly kind and generous☺️🫶, providing us with all the guidance we needed to care for Dobby. He was the sweetest boy, and we instantly fell in love with him within just 2 days. Taking care of him was a truly enjoyable experience. Would definitely take care of him again.
As per my previous review, this was a brilliant house sit for Zac and the adorable Della :)
Best sit ever!!! Tim & Sue’s home is beautiful, the doggies are loving & well behaved & the cats are cool! I felt welcome & at home - best sit ever thank you!
Sublime, superb, stunning, super, …. If Ellie and Louis are looking for a sitter, go for it! They’re a fab couple, great communication throughout, brilliant home, handy to everything Edinburgh has to offer. And while they and their home were brilliant, you will fall in love with Dolly, an absolute cracker of a dog, brilliant temperament, loves her walks, play and snuggles. Ellie and Louis were lucky I didn’t change the locks on the doors or take Dolly with me! Can’t recommend them, Dolly and their home enough to anyone if they are looking for sitters again.
What a wonderful sit! From lovely hosts and great location to of course the most adorable pup, anyone would be lucky to do it! Summer is the sweetest, most loving beautiful girl (even more so than the pictures if that’s possible!) – the kind of dog that is impossible not to fall in love with. She loves attention and will be your little shadow around the house and, while she does love a fuss, she’s great when I needed to be on a work call or get any other work done and patiently waited by my feet til it was done. She absolutely loves her ball and it was such a joy to play fetch with her on our walks. Izzy and Alex are super easy-going, warm and welcoming and they have been a pleasure to sit for. They kindly gave me a lift from and to the station and were very understanding when I had the worst train delays on my way in. While they’ve covered all the bases when they gave me the tour, Izzy was always just a quick message away if anything arose. Their house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. It’s also ideally located with some wonderful walks just down the road and there is a bus stop pretty much on the doorstep that will get you to the centre of the city quickly. You can really tell Summer is very loved and she returns any affection tenfold. I would be more than happy to recommend this sit to anyone and would come back in a heartbeat myself!
Maya is the sweetest and goofiest of girls! She is super shy at first but once she warms up to you she is a big cuddle bug!! We loved spending time with her and Camille was super communicative! The home is gorgeous and comfortable, would return to hang out with sweet Maya anytime!

Our cat Maggie never really liked staying at a cat pension. It stressed her out, and she'd often come home scruffy and anxious. Looking for an alternative, we came across Steven from Creature Comforts Pet Sitting, and we couldn't have been luckier. From the first interaction, Steven was always quick to respond, accommodating, and transparent. Before the cat sitting period, we had a first meeting to provide the keys for the apartment, and for Steven to meet Maggie. Maggie, being a former stray, is usually pretty shy around strangers, and didn't really approach Steven during the first meeting. From Steven's first visit onwards, though, Maggie became super affectionate, approachable, and relaxed. We got daily updates on Maggie, plus a photo and sometimes a video. Steven took the time to give Maggie plenty of pets, brush her, or play with her during his visits. Even when we had a special request such as an earlier visit on a certain day, or watering our plants, Steven was more than happy to accommodate. In addition to the wonderful service, Creature Comforts' daily rate for a 20-minute visit is hardly more expensive than any nice cat pension in the Amsterdam area. Plus, your cat gets to stay in her familiar surroundings, and can stay much more relaxed that way. We are incredibly happy with the level of service, kindness, and attention to detail at Creature Comforts. If you're thinking about hiring a pet sitter for your four-legged friend, we (and Maggie) can highly recommend Creature Comforts! 🐈⬛
Steven took wonderful care of my bunny while I was away! He was very conscious and attentive to her needs (especially on a particularly hot summer day), and I felt at ease knowing she was being cared for with love. Steven was very professional and communication was great with daily updates and photos. Creature Comforts is now my go to pet sitter!
Amazing business, Steven provided fantastic care to my 3 cats while I was away. He came everyday and send me photos and videos to reassure me the cats were doing well. As we all know cats are not always very welcoming to newcomers but they loved Steven from the start. I have already planned next visits during my upcoming trips, and I sincerely recommend the business to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Steven has been nothing short of amazing. I called with an absolute last minute need for a dog sitter and Steven was more than happy to help. He made everything a breeze during the chaos of traveling. He sent updates all day, everyday. He truly went above and beyond in every way. He will definitely be our “go to” sitter from now on ❤️
This is a wonderful business run with care and love. The owner is thoughtful, attentive, and communicative. He is incredible with cats and dogs. His calm demeanor helped our old cat (20 years old!) to feel comfortable and safe. He sent us pictures and videos each day he visited her and checked in to make sure we returned home from our travel, showing his own personal concern over our cat and her return to us. When we met with him to get our home keys back, he was generous with funny stories about our cat and with tips for the neighborhood (we were new!). We are very thankful for this service and will unquestionably return next time we need someone to take care of our old cat.
We had an incredible experience with Matt watching our dog! He was extremely communicative, super great with our dog, and very accommodating. Highly recommend Matt and we will definitely be using him again.
Matt took such incredible care of my beloved kitty Wilma and my more challenging pup Sassy. Matt is reliable and really loves cats! Highly recommend.
matt is great! he takes such good care of my kitties when i'm away. i know i can rely on him to be there for them when i can't and they're in good hands. they love him!
Matt is careful and reliable. Took care of our dog and allowed us a fine day of sightseeing in Amsterdam. Highly recommended!!! Ciao
Excellent communication from Steven and our cat liked him
You can easily relax and enjoy vacation knowing that your dog is in great hands with a sitter from Nana. Always good experience. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Nana’s home is THE best place to take care of you dog/cat! I super recommend them! They have been pet sitting my dog for 4’years now and they always do it with so much care and love. As a company they are super organized as well, making sure you get first a profile of the host and you get a meet and great time face to face before deciding. They always make sure there is a group for updates of your pet during the stay and admins are also involved so there is transparency and security. They love animals and they have hosts that are well trained and experienced. Thank you Nana’s home!
We spent two years living in Amsterdam with our dog Percy. Nana’s made it incredibly easy to set up sitters for her, and we always had great experiences with each of the sitters. We really felt like we had "family" in Amsterdam that were always available to watch Percy whenever we traveled. Nana's is a really unique and differentiated pet-sitting program and I couldn't be happier that we found them. We would recommend Nana’s to anyone in Amsterdam that regularly needs a reliable dog sitter and doesn’t want to spend the time searching for a sitter every time there is a need.
Truly the best pet sitting service I have ever experienced. Very communicative, flexible, affordable, and friendly! My dog Jefferson loves Nana’s home!
I’m using Nana’s Home for 2 years now and they were always able to find a nice caring host for my dog as well as transport him there and back.
Great service with super caring people! I’ve used twice already and my dog always super happy and safe!
Tails In The City is simply the best dog service imaginable. I have moved for work quite a bit since I first got my dog Penny, and this is the only daycare, boarding experience she is fundamentally happy to go to. Ken and Gary care so much about the dog son their care, and are simply wonderful people. Tail towers was a game changer for me in Amsterdam. Penny got picked up in the morning and dropped off late afternoon every week day, she got multiple walks a day, tons of play time with the other dogs, and so many places to nap and be comfortable. When I traveled she was loved and cared for as if she were their dog. Don’t hesitate, get your dog signed up for Tail Towers as soon as you can!
Gary and Ken have been our dog walkers/ sitters now for almost the entire 2 years we have been in Amsterdam. They've always been there for us whether its been for a vacation, or just me getting stuck at work late. Our dog Buddy goes twice a week for Old Doggy Day Care and the pictures Gary sends definitely show Buddy is having a great time. I'm pretty sure Buddy likes Ken more than me.
Tails of the City is amazing! Our dog goes there every week for the daycare and she absolutely loves it. Gary and Ken provide us with lovely pictures and videos which make us feel not only that our dog is safe there but that she is having loads of fun (and so are they!). It is definitely her favorite day of the week. I used to joke that she prefers Gary to us, but I’m starting to suspect that is actually true. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Tails of the City! I am really grateful to have found them after so many bad experiences in Amsterdam. Tails is trustworthy, consistent and caring - and I think it really comes down to one simple thing: They love animals. Tails takes such good care of Joey, who is getting old and sick. They are gentle and calm, and give him just the right chin skritches to make him a happy cat. The best part - they send cute photo updates. You really can't ask for more. 😸
Gary and Ken (who run Tails of the City) are the people I trust most with looking after my Frenchie, Albie, whilst I'm at work / away from Amsterdam. Both of them care so deeply for all the dogs that they look after and make sure that they have great experiences through play, walks, snuggles and sleep! They're also great at communication with me as an owner - a couple of times, changes in Albie's behaviour/habits have been shared which has led to me making different decisions with him (in particular going to vets or re-training him in some areas). Throughout the daycare days, they both send updates to me to show me what Albie is up to during the day which always brings a smile to my face. Ultimately, they love the animals they care for like their own and - through the good and the bad times - make sure the animals have everything that the need. I could not recommend Tails of the City enough! 5 Stars. Top marks. 10/10. (Thanks for being such great carers of my little one)
We absolutely love everything about Team Tails! Ken and Gary have been looking after our older dog Ginger for 2.5 years now, and their newer team member Megan has recently dog-sat twice as well. All three of them are fantastic people that we (humans) totally trust while we're away, and our dog thinks they're the greatest, too. I don't think you'll find a more professional, communicative, and loving team in Amsterdam to take care of your animals. Just make sure to book them in advance because they're quite popular. Thanks for everything, Ken, Gary, and Megan!
Initially, Ken & Gary helped me with my 2 kitties when I was traveling. I have had friends stay with my cats and the kitties seemed more demanding and needy than after a week with Team Tails. I knew my cats were well cared for, played with and loved from how they responded when I returned. Since I adopted my rescue pup from Serbia, Team Tails has been my saving grace! From urgently taking care of my boy for two weeks when I had a family emergency to helping him grow into a confident, playful, dog-friendly pup at doggy daycare, Team Tails has been loyal, attentive, dependable, kind and generous.
Tails of the City are among the best dog walking and sitting service I’ve ever used. Gary and Ken treated our Harvey like he was their own - including helping us rehab him from a serious injury. When we travelled, we never worried about Harvey - we knew he was in the best care possible and we appreciated the regular updates both during his weekly walks as well as when we went away. I can’t recommend them enough and our only regret about moving to the next town over is that we couldn’t take them with us. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, friendly, professional and competitively priced dog sitter/walker in Amsterdam, look no further than Tails of the City.
We’ve had a really awesome experience with the Tails team. Our dog is still young and Ken, his primary caretaker has been so amazing at helping us be consistent on training and what behaviors we want him to practice. Ken has really taken the time to get to know our dog, and to set him up for success by gradually and thoughtfully introducing him to the other members of his pack walks. Our dog is so happy every time Ken is around, and we feel relaxed knowing he’s in good hands during our work day! Thanks a lot team Tails!
I love Team Tails! We've been clients of theirs since we moved here in October of last year. Wally is absolutely in love with Ken & Gary (and before, Shannon as well). I know how much Wally enjoys getting walked by them because he never looks back when he has to leave and he always comes home happy. We always get beautiful photos and updates when he's with them and I know that they love Wally too. <3
Yvonne is the most fantastic dog sitter. She is reliable, friendly, flexible, trustworthy and has gone above and beyond to care for our dog Rosie when we are away. Rosie gets super excited when we drop her off. It is so wonderful to go on holiday and have such peace of mind knowing she is so well looked after and has lots of fun on her walks. I highly recommend Yvonne if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend!
Paw House has walked my dog for four years now, Yvonne were there for me the day i adopted my dog. My dog was a rescue and nervous at first but Yvonne at Paw House is a true professional, always does the right thing, kind and reliable. Me and my dog could never be without her. Could not recommend more.
The Paw House Amsterdam - Yvonne My little greyhound regularly has walks and day care with Yvonne and has done so for many years now. Seeing Yvonne is the highlight of Schoko’s day when I’m out at work and has long walks in the park with his other doggy friends. Schoko absolutely adores Yvonne and I have absolute trust in her to take care of my very sensitive and a bit nervous little boy. Thank you Yvonne for providing me with such an amazing, reliable, value for money service.
Yvonne is always super flexible and has the best service, even in the last minute when I need help! One time I got stuck abroad and needed help with boarding service last minute.. Yvonne without any hesitation picked up my doggo and took amazing care of him for 5 days. My pup adores Yvonne and always love the fellow furry friends who he gets to go on walks. Recommend 200%
The Paw House Amsterdam has been Buddy’s second house for the last five years. Yvonne takes very good care of him, she is very responsible and reliable, regularly sends us updates and pictures. There was a situation when Buddy didn’t feel well. She took him to the vet and administered medicine. We are very happy with Yvonne’s services and fully recommend her.
Paw House Amsterdam is the best and our dog, Lulu, is madly in love with Yvonne! We have used Paw House Amsterdam for overnight boarding and dog walks, both of which have helped Lulu gain confidence and social skills. I always know Lulu will be loved and well cared for when she is with Yvonne and I never have to worry about her when I'm on holiday. If you ever get the chance to let Paw House Amsterdam take care of your furry friends, do it. You will not be let down!
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing The Paw House Amsterdam is. I use to only travel if my little pup could come with me or if my brother could watch him, until I met Yvonne! She treats my fur baby like her own and I always leave without a single worry and can enjoy my trip. Not only is she wonderful with my dog, but she is also so easy to work with and extremely accommodating with dates, times, last minute spots as well as with my little pup. I have so many things to say and can’t recommend The Paw House enough!!!
Bentley has stayed with Yvonne numerous times over the past several years - for doggy daycare, weekend stays, and up to 2 weeks. I completely trust Yvonne to care for my pup. She sends pictures and stays in good contact and my dog is always happy to see her. One time while I was away for a long stay, my dog had an ear infection. Yvonne took Bentley to the vet, gave him medicine, and continued to care for him until I came home. When the opportunity arises, I never hesitate to recommend The Paw House!
I totally trust Yvonne with taking care of my furry friend. My little Moose loves Yvonne and is always super excited when she sees her. Yvonne is really one of Amsterdam's best dogwalker and daycare services. LOVE HER!
I was referred to Yvonne after trying several other dog walkers. It was refreshing to just know that my dog was well taken care of while I was at work during the day. Yvonne was completely reliable, never once did she cancel. My dog was always so happy to see her.
