Emergency Home Repairs.Same-Day Help.
Need an urgent repair? From plumbing leaks and electrical faults to blocked drains and heating breakdowns, Zoofy helps you find a trusted local professional, often on the same day.
Your professional, by name
Screened by Zoofy
Don't pick the first name you find on Google.
The water is running. Or the power is out. And then the question comes: who am I letting into my home?
Google is not the place for that. At the top you also find rogue companies and lead sites that sell your details to the highest bidder.
With Zoofy you get a screened professional. You know who is coming, what it costs, and you only pay once it is fixed.
So no stranger at your door and no bill that keeps growing during the job.
Even in an emergency, you want to know where you stand.
With acute problems at home you have no time to research a professional. Unfortunately, rogue emergency services take advantage of that. Across the many reports to consumer organisations, the same patterns kept coming back: sharply rising prices during the job, pressure to pay immediately and companies that cannot be reached afterwards.
Clear prices
You see the applicable price upfront. So no low starting amount with extra costs added later.
Reliable professionals
Zoofy works with selected and reviewed professionals. You know who is coming.
Safe payment
Agreements and payments go through Zoofy. Nobody asks for cash at your door.
No unexpected price increases
Any extra work must be discussed clearly beforehand. So you don't find out afterwards that a small job turned into a big one.
Service afterwards
With questions or complaints you can fall back on Zoofy. You are not on your own.
A professional found fast
No endless searching. We look for an available professional in your area.
Professionals we know. Not just anyone.
Zoofy is not a marketplace where anyone can sign up and you have to figure it out yourself. We arrange the professional. That starts with who we let in.
Screened in advance
Professionals are checked for the right certificates and current liability insurance before they work through Zoofy. So no stranger from a vague phone number.
Reviewed after every job
Customers review every professional. Ours score an average of 4.7 out of 5, based on more than 100,000 reviews.
Real professionals
Professionals who do their work and are proud of it. Not rough-and-ready handymen, but people who calmly solve the problem.
You know who is coming
You receive the details of your appointment beforehand. So there is no stranger at your door.
A deal is a deal
You book a time and Zoofy safeguards the appointment. No endless messaging back and forth or hoping someone shows up.
Zoofy has your back
Unclear about something after the job? You are not on your own. Zoofy supports you with questions about the work done.
We check. Feel free to check for yourself too.
Ask your professional for their certificates and liability insurance when they arrive. A reliable professional will show them without any problem. That way you always stay in control.
Four steps, and at every step you know where you stand.
No searching. No phoning around. No hoping that someone has time. On the left you see what happens, on the right what that means for you.
Book your job and choose Today
You book an urgent job like any other job. Choose your problem, enter your address and select the Today option for the time.
You see the applicable price before you book. So no surprises afterwards.
A screened professional accepts your job
We offer your job to screened professionals in your area. As soon as one accepts your job, it is theirs.
Until the moment of acceptance you can cancel for free. After acceptance you can call and WhatsApp the professional directly. You don't have to compare or request quotes.
They call you right away and get you out of trouble
After acceptance the professional always calls you straight away. Then they come by, assess the problem and fix it.
You speak to your professional before they arrive. So you know who is coming and what to expect.
Pay and done
Once it is fixed, you pay safely via Zoofy and receive a clear invoice.
Fixed first, then pay. And if you have a question afterwards, Zoofy has your back.
Who is Zoofy?
With an urgent job you let someone into your home. Then you want to know who you are booking. Since 2015, Zoofy has been helping households across the Netherlands find a professional they can trust. On Trustpilot we score 4.5/5.
Read more about usYou book an urgent job like any other job. With the Today option.
There is no separate urgent button or hotline. You make a normal booking and choose Today as the time. That keeps it simple and you always see the price before you book.
Can't wait? Choose Today.
Is your house flooding or is the power out? Choose the Today option for the time. You see the price straight away.
Can it wait until tomorrow? That's smarter.
A dripping tap you can shut off, or a boiler that will still be broken tomorrow: then choose Tomorrow. That is the best choice, and cheaper.
Today costs more than Tomorrow.
Prices for Today are higher than when you choose Tomorrow as the first option. You see that upfront, so you can choose for yourself.
Clear on when cancelling is free. And when it is not.
No small print. These are the rules, so you don't find out afterwards.
Before your job is accepted
As long as no professional has accepted your job, you cancel for free. No costs, no hassle.
When the professional is already on their way
Has your job been accepted and is the professional expected to be on their way? Then you can no longer cancel for free. Cancelling then costs €24.95, because the professional has already put in time and effort.
“The great thing about urgent jobs is that you can really make a difference. People are often at their wits' end when a leak suddenly appears. I think it is important to stay calm, explain clearly what I am going to do and solve the problem as quickly as possible.”
The best moment? When the customer says with relief: “Thank goodness, it's fixed!”

How to recognise a reliable emergency service.
With an urgent job you have little time to choose. So watch out for four things, with every company you hire.
Clear prices
Know upfront which price applies. Be alert to a low starting amount and to extra costs that only come up on site.
Company details
A reliable company can be traced. Check the name, the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number and the reviews in several places. Also ask the professional for their certificates and insurance.
Payment terms
Don't let yourself be rushed into paying immediately. With Zoofy you pay safely via Zoofy, not in cash to the professional.
Reachable afterwards
Can you still reach someone after the job? With Zoofy you can fall back on us if you have questions or complaints.
Thousands of customers have already left their home to us.

“After calling 12 plumbers and nobody having time to fix our leak, I called on Zoofy. The same day, professional Sjors came by. He got straight to work, and did it skilfully. Thanks to a clever solution we were quickly rid of the leak. We are still extremely happy with the result!”
Mark, Utrecht · Urgent job: bathroom leak · Professional: Sjors“The professional communicated clearly about when he would arrive and was flexible with the appointment. He carefully investigated the cause of the boiler fault and could fix the problem straight away because he had the right materials with him. Clear communication, friendly and skilled. A very good experience!”
