ツamsterdam, the market group
One message, one name. No row to choose from.
500+ locals · 709 requests since September · a name given 760 times
Finding a pet sitter in Amsterdam takes one message to ツamsterdam. You get one name back.
Since 1 September 6 requests for a pet sitter came in and ツamsterdam named someone 5 times. The sitting requests were all about dogs.
Asking costs nothing. Nothing to download, no account. Who gets named is not for sale.

And 3 times someone else.
This order is not for sale. Sorry.
Boarding at someone's home for a nine-year-old Pomsky, sweet and good with other dogs, for just over a week. A sitter who stays overnight, around Christmas and New Year.
And the request with the longest manual: a Cane Corso, a large guardian dog. The owner wanted someone experienced with powerful breeds, always on the leash, no other animals in the house and one fixed carer. It may be that exact. Better a message of ten lines than a sitter who is startled by your dog.
Say which animal, how old and how big. Say from when until when, and whether the sitter comes to your home or takes the animal in. Say what your animal cannot cope with: other dogs, cats, being alone.
A message that works: Hi ツamsterdam, I'm looking for a sitter for my dog, a calm six-year-old labrador, one week in December, at the sitter's home if possible. Allow a few hours before a name arrives with this request. Half the people asking waited that long.
You message. ツamsterdam names one person. You say yes. Or no. How the market group works.
Asking costs nothing.
You agree and pay directly. ツamsterdam adds nothing on top.
Ask. So far every sitting request was about a dog, so for cats you may be the first.
Say so honestly. Someone asked for a sitter for a large guardian dog, with a whole list of conditions, and a name came back.
That has been asked for, from Christmas until after New Year. Ask in time. In December every sitter is away now and then too.
Neighbourhood group. Family group. Now the market group.
