Best Dog Sitter Amsterdam Near Me

"Tails team has been taking care of our dog for over a year and a half ..."

4worldlovers:
Having struggled to find reliable - and flexible! - cat sitters and dog walkers ourselves, we decided to take a leap of faith by leaving comfortable careers in marine engineering and leadership consulting, and follow our dream of setting up our own business: a flexible and bespoke dog walking and pet care service in the heart of beautiful Amsterdam. And so begins our 'tail'.


'Tail Towers' is conveniently based in the heart of Amsterdam, and we offer our services in De Pijp, Jordaan, Museumkwartier and Oud-West.


We have been blessed as parents to all sorts of animals, including multiple dog breeds, and love discovering the quirks and personality of each individual animal.


Some of the most rewarding work we have been involved in has been helping owners of dogs with behavioural or trauma issues, which can be an emotionally and physically draining journey. Tails of the City partners with you to help reinforce any training programs that are being used. We are confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. We are also experienced carers for dogs who are somewhat beyond their puppy years (a bit like us!) and those who require extra attention due to medical conditions.


Tails of the City is not just about dogs. We also care for felines, rodents, reptiles and we have a few clients of the avian variety, with whom we love to dance and sing. We are happy to consider requests for any pets you may have, although dancing and / or singing may or may not be included!


The senior management team at Tail Towers are all named after members of the Dutch royal family, in honour of our adopted homeland: Bea and Klaus, two majestic Maine Coon cats from Delft, are named after the former Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus; and Max, a street dog we rescued in Romania, whose name was inspired by the current Queen Maxima.


The minions who work for Max, Bea and Klaus are also listed below.


Max spent the first four months of his life in Romania where he was rescued by our wonderful friends at Happy Tails. He's also the reason we started Tails of the City, having struggled to find a daycare solution that would work with his issues. Having experienced a pretty traumatic start in life, he's taught us how to deal with reactivity in dogs and he now spends his days having the best time with his daycare pals or at the beach.

Born in the beautiful Dutch city of Delft in 2015, Beatrix now spends most of her day hanging out with the neighbourhood cats or on Tails Terrace. In the evenings, she likes to join the dogs who are boarding at Tails Towers for evening snuggles with the on-duty caregiver, although she definitely lets the dogs know who's boss when it comes to waiting their turn for a cuddle!

The big brother of Beatrix, Klaus' job title really is apt. While cats are known to sleep for approximately 15 hours each day, Klaus definitely maxes out higher than that. His favourite places to snooze include the roof of Tails Terrace where he can keep an eye on any dog shenanigans, or up high on one of his perches indoors to give him the best view of our guests. He takes his job as Tails Security very seriously!

Thanks to his childhood spent in the English countryside, Gary's always loved being in the company of animals. His grandparents – and David Attenborough – instilled in him a great respect for nature and he grew up surrounded by not only dogs and cats, but horses, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, house rats, fish, birds and a ferret, gaining experience in caring for a multitude of animals along the way.

Having swapped the rolling hills of Northumberland, for the flat landscape of the Netherlands, Ken decided to go one step further and become a full time animal playmate. It’s proved to be the wisest decision he ever made. His days now consist of being greeted with wagging tails and happy meows, and his current record for walks is 159km in seven days. Can you help him make it over the 160km mark?

4worldlovers: Petzz Life story started before we thought such company could exist.


As many expat women who come abroad to follow their partners, with me it wasn’t different. I came to The Netherlands to follow my husband dreams, I was with many doubts and insecurities inside the luggage.

After arriving in Amsterdam, I discovered a new world with many possibilities (such a great thing you would think) but I didn't see how to fit in. At that time, my English was horrible. I had never had a real necessity to learn English living in Brazil and at school it was the worst subject for me, and when I arrived in Amsterdam I discovered that I needed to learn English and Dutch.


I remember looking through the window and thinking: “What hell is going on with my life?!”. It was a dark age, but I didn’t fall to the dark side, guys. I had depression and I had to ask for help. After many moths doing treatment and my English improving, I started an embryonic life in Amsterdam. I made some new friends and it made me feel a little bit more comfortable to live in Amsterdam. Back then, I still hated the recurring rain, but who doesn’t? As my English improved, I started to have more friends in Amsterdam and started to build my support network. It was from one of them that the idea of me being a pet sitter came from.


At that time I needed to support my parents with money, but I didn’t want to spend my time working at a shop or restaurant. Studying English was my priority. My friend said: “…as you really like animals you could work as a pet sitter”. She motivated me and she was my first customer. I remember feeling excited with this opportunity and scared at the same time, because I had never taken care of a cat that wasn’t mine. That friend motivated me and made everything look easy. After that, I decided to create my profile on a pet sitter platform. It took some time for things start working, but it happened.


After one year working on that platform and others as well, I was thinking that it could be good if I shared my routine as a pet sitter in a social media, because it would enhance my work and show to my customers how I work. That’s how in January 2020 I created Petzz Life. Since then until now, Petzz Life have been growing and have been attending many customers in Amsterdam. The company grew up and now we have our own registered company and many dreams to achieve.

"I totally trust Yvonne with taking care of my ..."

4worldlovers:
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.

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 - 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.
