Opvang Antwerpen

Over: I've have owned dogs since I was little. I have a dog back in my home country Brazil. Her name is Mayla and she is the love of my live. I also took care of a dog of my friends in their house a couple of times here in Belgium. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I can easily adapt to the routine and needs of each animal, whether it is daily walks, feeding, playtime or simply keeping them company. I am available throughout the week and can also be flexible during weekends. I am happy to discuss specific times and arrangements with each pet owner. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable and at ease. I have two cats of my own that I take great care of, so I’m used to giving animals plenty of attention and making sure they have everything they need. I’m happy to follow the owner’s routine and take care of each pet as if it were my own.

“Haya took fantastic care of our dog. From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease. She was incredibly kind and caring, kept us updated with lovely photos, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked up our dog, it was clear she had been happy and well looked after. Everything was also very clean and well organized. We are extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Haya to anyone. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog!”

“Incroyable dogsitter. J'ai un petit chien un peu timide et je l'ai récupéré après un nuit et journée complètement décontracté. Je garde précieusement ses coordonnes et le recommande a 200%! Encore Merci Arthur 🐶🐶🐶🐶”

Over: What sets me apart is that I’m calm, patient, and very focused on safety. I never rush a dog through a walk. I adjust to their personality and energy level, and I love relaxed sniff walks that help dogs feel comfortable and confident. I’m especially good with shy or sensitive dogs because I stay gentle, consistent, and predictable. I also send clear updates and photos, and I always respect your routine and rules. I’m happy to care for: Puppies (gentle leash practice, basic routines, positive reinforcement) Senior dogs (slower pace, shorter walks, extra comfort and attention) Dogs who need structure, calm handling, and patience Right now I’m in between two careers, so I currently have a lot of time and flexibility in my schedule. That means I can easily plan my days around pet care and give dogs the time and attention they deserve, without rushing. I’m also very consistent with timing, updates, and routines. I care for pets in a calm, safe, and routine-based way. I follow the owner’s instructions closely (feeding schedule, walk routine, medication if needed). I keep the environment clean, make sure they get attention and enrichment, and I always send updates and photos. Safety comes first: secure leash handling, checking doors/gates, and keeping stress low.

Over: I have a lot of experience in petsitting cats for friends and family. I am very patient with nervous cats and will take time to earn their trust. I worked for a refuge for a year and a half in the cat department. I have less experience with dogs although i walked a lot of dogs in that refuge too. I’m a student in my last year so i have less courses in the year. My thursdays are always free and i am free most nights of the week. I rarley go on vacation. I have a garden with non toxic plants in it for the dog to enjoy some smells, i livr near the Bois de la Cambre for great walks !

“Karina looked after our very anxious little dog for a few hours. Communication was excellent; she kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, our dog was relaxed and happy, which speaks volumes about her care. Will definitely use her again.”

“We had an excellent experience with Grace and Brisbane - our dog Alfie was with Grace for 7 nights and and we received so many great updates, photos and videos. He had the best time and he was so well looked after. I'm so pleased we found Grace and will definitely make another booking in the future. Thanks again!”

“Super blij. 😀 Balou is een bange hond die schrik heeft van vreemden en heel gevoelig is voor prikkels. Dit warm gezin heeft mijn advies heel goed opgevolgd waardoor het heel goed is verlopen. Ze hebben eerst vertrouwen opgebouwd. Ze zijn heel toegewijd. Ook kreeg ik vele foto’s en filmpjes wat ik enorm apprecieerde. Balou gaat daar zeker opnieuw logeren. Bedankt voor de goede zorgen.”

Over: Depuis ma naissance, j’ai grandi entouré de chiens, notamment de chiens en formation pour devenir chiens guides d’aveugles. Grâce à cette expérience, j’ai appris très tôt à comprendre leur comportement, à respecter leurs besoins et à interagir avec eux. Mon père m’a transmis de nombreuses connaissances sur leur éducation, les bases de l’obéissance et l’importance d’une approche positive. Je suis donc à l’aise avec des chiens de différents caractères et je sais m’adapter à leurs habitudes. Passionnée par les animaux, je prendrai soin de votre compagnon comme s’il était le mien, en veillant à son bien-être, à sa sécurité et à lui offrir toute l’attention dont il a besoin pendant votre absence. J’étudie actuellement, ce qui me permet malheureusement pas d’être toute la journée avec le chien. En revanche, j’aime profiter de mes pauses pour prendre l’air, et c’est le moment idéal pour offrir à votre chien une promenade ! J’habite juste à côté d’un grand espace vert, parfait pour les balades. Votre chien pourra donc profiter de sorties régulières tout au long de la journée, adaptées à ses besoins. Mon objectif est qu’il puisse se dépenser, faire ses besoins et recevoir toute l’attention dont il a besoin pendant votre absence. J’habite dans un studio où votre chien disposera d’un petit espace calme avec son tapis pour avoir son propre coin. Depuis que j’ai quitté le domicile familial, je ne vis plus avec le chien de mes parents, et sa présence me manque beaucoup. C’est l’une des raisons pour lesquelles j’aime garder des chiens : j’adore leur compagnie et je prendrai soin du vôtre avec beaucoup d’attention, de bienveillance et de caresses, tout en respectant son rythme et ses habitudes.

“Elena was absolutely great with Milo. Very responsive, quick to reply, and genuinely kind. You can tell she really cares. Milo looked completely at ease and happy with her, which means everything to us. We felt reassured the whole time. Would 100% recommend her”

Over: I’ve always loved animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I did horse riding for 10 years, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animal behavior. I also regularly take care of my brother’s Weimaraner, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and their needs. I’ve helped friends and family with pet sitting, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work 2 days in the week from home which give me more than enough time to be able to take care of a pet. I also live around 3 really big parks, where I could go for long walks with the dogs. I have enough space to place their crate, I live near a few parks and dog parks which would give them the freedom to let their energy out.

Over: I've loved animals since childhood — from feeding stray cats and rescuing an injured pigeon, to helping abandoned dogs get medical care and find loving homes. Whether it's caring for pets in India or looking after dogs for friends in Belgium, I treat every animal with kindness, patience, and love. I will take care of your dog as my own! I’m a software engineer and usually work from home about three days a week, so I’m around a lot to hang out with your dog. I like taking walks during my lunch break, and in the evenings I enjoy cycling or going for a stroll — your dog can come along! I also love planning fun activities to keep dogs happy and entertained while you’re away. I have a small garden where the dogs can play. I like taking walks during my lunch break, and in the evenings I enjoy cycling or going for a stroll — your dog can come along!

“Zeer vriendelijke dame en we zijn erg blij dat onze poezen bij iemand zijn kunnen blijven dat er erg mee begaan is. Nogmaals 1000x dank aan Samantha voor de goede zorgen”

“​Un immense merci à Stéphanie et sa famille pour la garde de Tsuki ! Tout s'est super bien passé, du début à la fin. ​Tsuki a été accueillie comme un membre de la famille. Les deux garçons se sont merveilleusement bien occupés d'elle, entre moments de jeux et grosses séances de câlins. C'était un vrai bonheur de recevoir des nouvelles et de voir à quel point elle était épanouie et sereine. ​Je confierai Tsuki à nouveau les yeux fermés. Vous pouvez y aller en toute confiance, c'est une chouette famille !”

Over: I grew up with my grandma dog, Igor. She kept telling me that when I was a kid I once put in my mouth an ice cube that Igor just spit out. Gross, but since then I had a great connection with dogs. I’m currently unemployed and job hunting so plenty of time to petsit. Aside from some courses here and there we can find a schedule that can suit us both. I have a fenced yard for dogs and plenty of indoor space for cats. But I’m available to come at your place to take care of you favourite pets

“Othilia a pris grand soin de mon chien Orion durant mon absence, il est resté deux nuits chez elle et j'ai pu avoir l'esprit tranquille avec les nombreuses nouvelles qu'elle m'a envoyées pour me tenir informée ! Je recommande vraiment, je n'hésiterai pas à faire appel à elle lors de ma prochaine absence !”
