Hondenuitlaatservice in Almere

“Ashley was voor het eerst bij ons. Ze viel direct op door de manier waarop ze met onze Lizzy omging. De juiste dosis aandacht bij ons jonge enthousiaste hondje. Er was duidelijk een klik. De wandeling ging prima en de verslaglegging vlot. We doen graag weer eens een beroep op Ashley.”

Over: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners that I met in the city or at surrounding walking spots. During my time in Utrecht, I also worked for a local hondenuitlaat service, which gave me experience with a lot of common (and some less common) Dutch breeds. A few years later, I am now living in Amsterdam, working full-time with dogs at a fantastic farm facility outside of the city, and finishing up my Master's degree. Do I sound like the right fit for you and your dog? Drop me a message and we can arrange an initial meeting to get to know each other better! (Multiple positive references available upon request). I work a few days a week at a dog daycare organisation on a rural farmland property outside of Amsterdam. On my working days, if I am looking after a dog, I like to bring them with me so that they can socialise with the pack. All transport is done using a fully converted, dog-friendly wagon with additional AC (and lots of cookies!). If a dog needs to be left alone or doesn't get along with other dogs, this can also be easily accommodated during the day in a safe, penned-off area at the facility. On my days off, I am entirely flexible and work from home while finishing my Master's thesis, making my routine highly compatible with dedicated pet care. I live with my girlfriend in a large, multi-room apartment in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The location is convenient for dogs and humans alike, being just a short walk from several metro stations and with easy drop-off outside via street access. We are lucky to be located just a stone's throw away from Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark, with the Amstel and the Amsterdamse Bos close by, providing some wonderful green spaces right on our doorstep for daily walks. Our apartment has two balconies (one of which gets the sun all day long ☀️☀️☀️) and plenty of comfy space inside for dogs to relax. All my dog guests get an entire room to themselves to ensure they have their own quiet and safe space to rest—unless, of course, they prefer to cuddle up with us on the sofa or in bed... Because of my professional background managing packs, safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities, whether looking after a pet in my home or yours.

Over: “I love animals and I am a responsible, caring and calm person who truly enjoys taking good care of dogs. I am punctual, trustworthy and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I am new to professional pet sitting, but I have personal experience taking care of dogs from family and friends. This has taught me to be patient, attentive and responsible. I also have a small dog at home. She is friendly, calm and fully vaccinated, which has helped me better understand dogs and their needs. I am very used to living with pets and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to provide the best care possible. I enjoy long walks, playing, and spending time with dogs. I am available in Zaandam and Amsterdam and I am motivated to learn and grow while providing loving and reliable care.” I am a student and I study English for about three hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After my classes, I am fully available and flexible for pet care during the rest of the day and week. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily include walks and care in my daily routine. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. At home, I have a friendly dog, and I am used to caring for animals responsibly. My house has a garden, but it is not fenced, so I only allow outdoor time under supervision or I go for regular walks instead. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and supervised at all times. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and providing them with attention, exercise and care.

Over: **Note:** The app may apply significant additional charges for extra pets, so please don't be alarmed by that. Typically, and depending on demands, I ask for the same amount whether there is one or two pets in a household. Just reach out, and we can sort it all out together. Hi there! My name is Vanessa, and I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past six years as a Brazilian expat. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many furry friends, which has brought so much joy and fulfillment to my life. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a curious cat, or a laid-back senior pet, I genuinely love getting to know their unique personalities and providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I have a deep understanding of how important pets are to their families—they’re not just animals; they’re cherished members of the household. I understand the importance of trust and compassion, especially when it comes to leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care. With this in mind, I approach every pet care opportunity with warmth, responsibility, and the goal of creating a safe, loving environment for them while you’re away. I’m here to ensure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for, giving you peace of mind during your time apart. Choosing me as your sitter doesn’t just mean your pet gets excellent care—it also means supporting a dedicated pet lover who genuinely values the connection this work brings. A few details about my services: • I’m happy to provide house-sitting and pet care anywhere reasonably easy to access by public transport. • Travel costs are not included in the price, and I’m open to discussing rates based on the number of pets and specific needs. • For dog walking and drop-in visits, I offer my services locally in my area, where I can easily travel by bike. • I’d love to meet you and your pet beforehand to make sure it’s a great match. For meet-ups outside my area, I kindly ask that travel costs are covered in advance. If you’re looking for someone kind, attentive, and trustworthy to care for your furry companion, I’d love to meet you both! Let’s chat and make sure it’s the perfect fit. I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Vanessa Pet care is my main focus, and I’ve built my schedule around providing attentive and reliable care for pets. Aside from my Dutch classes, my time is dedicated to ensuring every pet I care for gets the love and attention they need. This flexibility allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and ensure their happiness while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In your home, I ensure the environment is kept clean, secure, and comfortable for your pet, respecting their routine and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being, providing plenty of affection, playtime, and care to make them feel safe and loved. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether it’s maintaining a calm, familiar atmosphere or adapting to a pet’s unique needs, I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would for my own.
