Hondenopvang in Arnhem

“Luna was Very happy to come and visit. She came back as a happy relaxed dog. Thank you for taking care of her.”

“Wij zijn enorm fijn geholpen door Rashida. Doordat ik met werken begon, en onze hond pas 3,5maanden oud was, hadden wij veel hulp nodig. Hierbij heeft Rashida erg goed geholpen, door op hem te passen zelfs bij ons thuis. Ze is betrouwbaar en goed met honden, dus ik kan iedereen aanraden haar te vragen als je hulp nodig hebt met je hond!”

Over: Hi everyone, I’m Kate. Growing up surrounded by dogs, my passion for these amazing companions has been a lifelong journey. With over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs, ranging from small breeds like Miniature Pinschers, Shih Tzus, Poodles, and German Spitz Kleins, to larger breeds like Huskies and Golden Retrievers, I’ve developed a deep bond and understanding of their needs. All of my dogs have been adopted, and I know firsthand the challenges they face in learning to trust humans again after being abandoned. This has driven me to be a dedicated and responsible pet owner, always treating them as cherished members of my family. I’ve recently moved to Nederland and deeply miss my 12-year-old Golden Retriever Dondon back home, which has only strengthened my commitment to providing the same level of care and love to every dog I meet. Currently, my dog Dondon who’s back home being lovingly cared for by my parents. Knowing he’s in good hands gives me peace of mind, and I want to provide the same comfort to other pet owners when they’re away from their beloved pets. Dogs have been my constant companions and bring so much joy into my life, and I’m dedicated to giving that love back through my pet care services. Whether it's a wagging tail or a comforting cuddle, I cherish every moment spent with your pet and strive to make them feel as cherished as they are. Let me be the one to shower your dog with love and care while you’re away, ensuring they always feel safe, happy, and loved. My Experiences: 20 years of taking care adopted dogs >10 years of petsitting >senior dogs with special needs and medication administration >fostering for animal shelters >basic training I'm available and flexible on my schedule, I'm now currently taking a break and learning Dutch language at the same time. You can call me any day to see if I am available any of the next days. Do let me know in advance if your dog need pick up and drop off service. Confident and experienced with handling large breeds, I ensure safety and enjoyment during every walk. Tailored walks to match your dog’s needs, from gentle strolls for senior pups to energetic outings for those who love to explore.

Ik heb een rustig huisje geen dieren dus alle aandacht voor jou viervoerter! , ik heb een heel mooi bos om mijn flatje heen waar ik altijd wandel.

“Jiena is a responsible and dedicated dog sitter with a genuine love for animals. My dog felt comfortable with her immediately and was always happy in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and communicates very well. I would confidently recommend her services to any pet owner.”

“Begoña is a kind lady and my dog was relaxed and comfortable spending the day with her. I would book her again. Thank you, Begoña!”

Over: Hello! I am currently doing a Master’s degree in Animal Sciences (Animal Nutrition). My passion for animals inspired me to choose this field of study, and I have gained professional knowledge in pet nutrition, feed formulation, and animal behavior.

I grew up with a lovely cat named Bao, who has been my companion for many years. Although I do not keep a dog permanently, I have over one year of experience in dog sitting here in the Netherlands. During this time, I have cared for different breeds including Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and especially a Shih Tzu named Cola, whom I looked after for around six months. Cola was full of energy (you cannot imagine how such a small dog can be so energetic!), so I walked him three times a day, went jogging together, and visited the dog park twice a week. Since he was not neutered, I was always very attentive to him and other dogs played with him.

I live in a comfortable 30 m² apartment in Wageningen, right next to a big forest and only 500 m away from a pet park. Pets in my care will have plenty of space and opportunities for outdoor activities. As I spend most of my time studying from home, I have lots of time to give dogs and cats the love, attention, and exercise they need. According to each pet’s needs and unique situation, I take care of them based on their habits and make sure their needs are met everyday. In general, I walk dogs at least three times a day, and since I study from home, I can provide plenty of companionship — for example, by hiding treats and playing with toys.

Over: Hoi, wij zijn Alan en Madeleine. Alan is Italiaans en spreekt Engels, ik ben Nederlands. Wij hebben thuis altijd katten en honden gehad. Wij zijn pas samen gaan wonen in Ede en hebben op dit moment (nog) geen eigen huisdieren, maar missen de gezelligheid van een hond of een kat soms toch wel. Doordeweeks is er bijna altijd iemand thuis omdat we veel thuis werken. In het weekend zijn we ook bijna altijd wel beschikbaar en zijn we flexibel. Ik houd er erg van om lange wandelingen te maken, dus heb je een hond die wat energie kwijt moet, ben je bij mij aan het goede adres! Verder hebben wij een omheinde tuin en een groot huis. We wonen dicht aan de bosrand en hebben snelle toegang tot het bos voor wandelingen. Wij bezitten geen auto.

Over: Since I was young, dogs have always been by my side. One was purchased, and three others were adopted; the current one is 12 years old. I can’t bear to take her on frequent long trips, so she’s being well cared for by my parents now. I’m very experienced in taking care of unfamiliar dogs of all ages. I already have pet-sitting experience here in the Netherlands. Some from another App. The customers I’ve served have all been very satisfied. Dogs have brought so much emotional support to me and my family, helping me through many difficult times. Now that I’m living in the Netherlands and working on my thesis while job hunting and making future plans, which, I admit, can sometimes feel quite depressing. So, I truly hope to have dog companions in my life here. That’s why I’d love to offer my time as a dog sitter. My current schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to be with your puppy, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I live in a studio near the end of a quiet hallway. Even delivery people never ring the bell😂. There’s an elevator in the building, so your doggy won’t need to climb stairs, which is especially good for their joints. After every pet stay, I always clean the space thoroughly and do laundry to keep everything fresh and hygienic. Downstairs, there are plenty of green areas and small parks, including two especially for dogs. Your pet will have a great time here, both indoors and outdoors!

Over: Despite the occasional neighbor dog walks as a kid, I have taken care of my rabbits for several years as a teenager, which taught me about the beauty of sharing your life with animals. As an adult, I have lived with my housemate's pets (both cats and dogs) for several years, providing help to their owners when needed, joining for walks, giving lots of cuddles, and keeping a second eye on the wellbeing of the cuties. Since I live in Wageningen, I have two years of experience taking primary care of the most wonderful cat, who has added so much joy and love to my life. Getting to know her, understanding her needs and boundaries, ways of communication, and typical behaviours have helped me understand and recognize signs of her wellbeing. Unfortunately a year ago, at the age of 14, she had to be put down, after a difficult time of looking after her when she was sick and needed lots of assistance. While I do not have any specific skills, I have learned about the care of pets over the years by living with different cats and dogs. I have learned to maintain a healthy respect towards them, to give them time to get accustomed to me, and prioritize their boundaries over my love for cuddles. I care for the pets in my life, no matter if it's the neighbour's cat that comes to enjoy the sun in my garden, the dog that I walk once a week, or your pet that I might look after. Currently, I am writing my MSc Thesis, so I am very flexible and appreciate the occasional break to take a dog for a walk, or drop-in for feeding a cat/dog. I promise to respect both your pet(s) and your home, to follow your instructions with care, and to be reliable in terms of the service that I provide, as well as communication.

Over: 🐾 Over mij (*FOR ENGLISH SEE BELOW*) Hoi! Ik ben Floris, een grote dierenvriend van alle soorten en maten. Elke keer als ik dieren zie, gaat mijn aandacht daar vanzelf naartoe. Het liefst ben ik altijd omringd door dieren en zorg ik ervoor dat ze zich veilig en op hun gemak voelen. Mijn ervaring met dieren bestaat uit stage lopen in een dierentuin, waaronder een periode als dierenverzorger. Ook werkte ik ruim een half jaar als vrijwilligers bij de Dierenambulance. Bovendien heb ik ~1,5 jaar gewerkt voor het diervoedings bedrijf Edgard & Cooper. Ook verzorgde ik een katten voor het grootste deel van de afgelopen paar jaar. Daarnaast heb ik 2,5 jaar in de Afrikaanse jungle het gedrag van bonobo’s en chimpansees onderzocht — een ervaring die mijn fascinatie voor dieren verder benadrukt. Momenteel volg ik de master Forest & Nature Conservation aan Wageningen University, waar ik me bezighoud met ecologie en diergedrag. Of het nu gaat om een gezellige wandeling, speeltijd, of gewoon wat extra aandacht en liefde, ik zorg graag goed voor jouw hond of kat alsof het mijn eigen dier is. 🐶🐱 ***************** 🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Floris, and I am facinated by all animals of all kinds and sizes. Whenever I see animals, they instantly have my full attention. I love being surrounded by them and making sure they feel safe and cared for. My experience with animals consists of completing internships at zoos, including one as an animal caretaker. I have also worked as a volunteer at the Animal Ambulance for over half a year. On top of that, I have worked for the pet food company Edgard & Cooper for ~1,5 years. And I took care of cats for most of the last few years. I have also spent 2.5 years in the African jungle studying the behavior of bonobos and chimpanzees, an experience that exemplefies my fascination with animals even more. I’m currently doing a Master’s in Forest & Nature Conservation at Wageningen University, where I focus on ecology and animal behavior. Whether it’s going for a nice walk, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention — I’ll take care of your dog or cat as if they were my own. 🐶🐱 Ik ben momenteel student en heb dus veel korte vrije momenten op een dag, of soms hele dagdelen vrij. Er is dus vast en zeker een mokent dat ik bij u dier langs kan komen :) Ik zorg er voor dat het dier de aandacht krijgt die hij/zij wilt, maar ook de ruimte krijgt voor rust tussendoor. Ik neem de tijd voor een goede wandeling en door mijn ervaring met het onderzoeken van diergedrag zal ik snel doorhebben wat uw dier nodig heeft

Over: Hello everyone！My name is Liu Shuting and I’m 22 years old. I’m a master at Wageningen University. 

 Since I was in junior high school, my family has had two younger brothers, Cookie and Oreo. Therefore, I have more than 8 years of experience in raising dogs. I have taken care of small dogs (such as Teddy and Bichon) and large dogs (such as Golden Retriever and Labrador). 

If you are willing to let me take care of your dog, I will eat with him, play his favorite toys with him, take him for walks, and let him sleep with me (if he wants). 

Of course, I can also help you take care of your cats! My good friend has four cats at home. I often play with her cats, and sometimes I also will help her take care of them, so I also believe that I can take good care of your cats!

 What are you still hesitating about? Come and contact me~ I am currently a full-time graduate student and stay at home most of the time, so I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pet during weekdays and weekends. There are no children in my home, the room is very clean, I don't smoke, and my friends don't come to my house for parties, so I can provide a quiet and comfortable living environment for your pet.

Over: I have been dog-sitting in England for almost 4 years and one year in Netherlands: dogs with social anxiety, excited puppies, untrained dogs, sick dogs, old dogs, ect... And it was one of the best decisions I have made! At home, our pets are part of the family; they can be hard to train, but it is all worth it! I miss them so much, so I have time and love to give out, and I would love to make your life easier by caring for your pets. Pets need company and feel lonely when left alone as much as young children. I also love running, so I can make them run so they are calmer when they return home. I used to have rabbits, guineas, chickens and a turtle & I have a horse in France so I can take care of those pets I always lived in the middle of pets in the Countryside. I have two dogs in France (Josh, a cuddling big Australian Shepherd & Mae, a super active, needy brown dog. See pics). I always loved playing and hiking with them in the mountains. My sister also has a huskie (independent who loves kisses, as seen in the pictures). I cared for her when she was at work: walking, bath, training, which is service I can offer you too. I am a full-time student, and I can organise my timetable. Let me know what is best for you, and I will see what I can do. - Always keep on the leash - Be careful that they always have enough water - Do not go on a walk when it is too hot - Be cautious that they do not hurt themself - Always keep the pet clean as well as the house. - My unique service is to train them while you are gone. Every dog & situation is different, so their safety & requirements will depend on your rules & their needs, which I will listen to and follow.

“Susan was great looking after our Lola! She worked around our schedule very last minute, and Lola had a great time! We felt she was in very safe hands, couldn’t recommend her more!”

Astrid W.

“Kenza is a lovely person who was very patient with our dog and really made an effort to make him as comfortable as possible. Herself and her partner really took the time to get to know our scared dog and made sure that he has everything he needs. I would recommend Kenza as a dog sitter and we hope to be able to make use of her services again in the future.”

Esther R.

Over: My love for animals it is not a secret, so of course my family and friends trusted me to feed, walk or check on their pets everytime they needed, and I did it gladly, because I know a pet it is not just a pet, it is part of the family. Right now I'm still studying and learning the dutch languague, so I have some free time to do whatever I need. This allows me to have some free time for this side job. I need to know certainly if the pets are ok with strangers, because as much as I like to interact with them I am not quallified to work with agresive dogs or cats, so I have to know this first. Then I like to know about their rutine, what they eat and if they have special needs. If I have to walk them I always like to bring them to the Park with their leash and let them sniff the grass, bushes etc. I don't let them interact with other dogs unless the owner request this. When it comes to feed them at your place I always like to give them their food or if the owner request me to play or walk their pet, I do this first so they can do whatever they have to do at the Park.

Over: Ervaring in de zorg voor dieren – met liefde en oprechte toewijding Ik hou van dieren sinds mijn kindertijd – zolang ik mij kan herinneren, was ik altijd omringd door dieren: honden, katten, vogeltjes, hamsters. Voor hen zorgen was voor mij vanzelfsprekend en belangrijk. Ik gaf elk dier mijn volledige aandacht, warmte en liefde. Ik heb veel persoonlijke ervaring met verschillende soorten dieren – niet alleen in dagelijkse verzorging, maar ook in het begeleiden van dieren die moeten wennen aan een nieuw thuis. Zo hebben we bijvoorbeeld een kat uit het asiel genomen en ik heb hem op een rustige en geduldige manier geholpen zich veilig te voelen in zijn nieuwe omgeving. De kat werd apart gehouden van onze hond Nika zodat hij op zijn gemak kon wennen. Ik woon nu bijna 3 jaar samen met mijn hondje Nika, die ik heb gered uit slechte omstandigheden. Ze is heel lief en vriendelijk, maar ik zorg er altijd voor dat andere dieren zich veilig voelen – indien nodig worden ze apart gehouden, en als het kan laat ik ze op een rustige manier kennis maken. Ik begrijp hoe belangrijk het is om vertrouwen rustig op te bouwen, en ik geef elk dier de tijd die het nodig heeft. Hoewel ik geen professionele trainer ben, neem ik het gedrag van elk dier serieus. Ik probeer hun behoeften te begrijpen en reageer altijd rustig en liefdevol. Voor mij is het belangrijk om een warme, veilige en liefdevolle omgeving te creëren waarin het dier zich goed voelt. Ik doe altijd mijn best, zelfs met moeilijkere dieren – verlegen, gevoelige of minder sociale dieren zijn welkom. Ik ontvang ieder dier met liefde, zorg en geduld. Mijn doel is niet alleen om goed voor het dier te zorgen, maar om het echt gelukkig te maken. 🐾 Ik hou heel veel van dieren en wil niet alleen voor jouw huisdier zorgen, maar ook een bijdrage leveren aan dieren die nog op hun eigenaar wachten. Daarom ben ik een klein goedheidsinitiatief begonnen – ik verzamel voer voor honden en katten, dat ik later naar een dierenasiel zal brengen. Het kan wat langer duren om alles te verzamelen, maar elke kleine bijdrage is een grote stap voor deze dieren. Als je samen met je huisdier een beetje voer of lekkernijen zou kunnen meenemen, zou dat een prachtige gift zijn voor dieren die nog op hun geluk wachten. 💖🐶🐱 Mijn dagindeling – alle aandacht voor jouw huisdier Ik ben de hele dag thuis, dus ik kan jouw huisdier alle aandacht geven die het nodig heeft. Ongeveer een jaar geleden ben ik naar Nederland verhuisd – ik woon hier alleen met mijn man en mijn geliefde hondje Nika, die ik samen met mij heb meegenomen uit mijn thuisland. Ik heb hier geen vrienden of familie, dus al mijn tijd en zorg kan ik volledig aan dieren besteden. Mijn dagelijkse routine is rustig, ik hoef nergens heen en heb geen andere verplichtingen – jouw dier wordt mijn prioriteit. Ik bied niet alleen constante zorg en toezicht, maar ook veel liefde, tederheid en rust. Als het dier geduld nodig heeft, neem ik daar alle tijd voor. Als het behoefte heeft aan spelen of gezelschap, ben ik er ook volledig voor. Ik begrijp dat het niet makkelijk is om je huisdier aan iemand anders toe te vertrouwen. Daarom doe ik er alles aan om precies die verzorger te zijn die ik zelf ook voor mijn eigen dier zou willen hebben. Ik woon in een gezellig appartement met een afgesloten tuin, waar uw huisdier veilig zowel binnen als buiten kan zijn. Ik zorg met oprechte liefde en veel aandacht voor dieren – thuis woon ik samen met mijn lieve, speelse hond Nika, die vriendelijk is en graag met andere dieren omgaat. Wanneer nodig, wordt Nika in een aparte kamer gehouden zodat uw huisdier zich rustig en zonder stress kan voelen. Ik ben de hele dag thuis, dus ik kan zoveel aandacht en liefde geven als nodig is. Ik zorg er altijd voor dat uw huisdier zich veilig, gelukkig en geliefd voelt – alsof hij deel uitmaakt van mijn eigen familie.

“Teddy heeft lekker gespeeld. Contact met Sing ging ook prettig, we werden goed op de hoogte gehouden met foto's en filmpjes wat erg leuk was om te zien! We raden haar zeker aan als je oppas zoekt”

Over: Hi, I’m Jéssica! I’m originally from Brazil and recently moved to the Netherlands with my beloved rescue dog, Bonnie. She’s my best friend and came along on this new adventure! Pet sitting is a way for me to give Bonnie some company and make new furry friends along the way. I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl and have been surrounded by them my whole life. You can be sure your dog will be treated with love, care, and plenty of playtime—just like part of the family. A quick note: I’m still learning Dutch, so my Dutch is pretty limited at the moment. But I’m happy to communicate in English (or Portuguese if you prefer)! I’d love to meet your pup and make them feel at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already have a dog, Bonnie. My husband and I walk her three times a day, feed her, play with her, and make sure she’s happy and healthy. We both work from home, so we’re always around to keep an eye on your dog and give them attention throughout the day. - Pets have full access to the house and our secure garden, so they can enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. - I provide fresh water at all times and follow the feeding schedule you provide. - Daily walks and play sessions are part of the routine to keep them happy and active. - I supervise interactions with my own dog, Bonnie, to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. - I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing.

Over: Hi! I’m Romina from Uruguay 🇺🇾, now living in Almere 🇳🇱 but moving it’s not a problem ;) I speak Spanish, English and Portuguese. I’m 30 and I’ve worked as an accountant, barista and makeup artist 👩‍💼☕💄 Animals have always been part of my life — I grew up with a Dalmatian named Manchita and over the years my family had cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and even a rescued penguin! 🐶🐱🐧 Back home I used to take care of friends’ pets like Nala, and here I’ve already looked after 3 dogs and 4 cats. On weekends I also care for Rocco (dog) and Maria Rita (cat) from my best friend. I love walks in the park, I’m very responsible (including with medication), and I have plenty of availability since I work only two days a week. I can also stay at the pet’s home any day. I’d love to be your pet sitter — your animals will be in loving, caring hands 🐾✨ Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I only work two days a week, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to them. I actually enjoy arranging my days around walks, visits or stays, and I can easily adapt to whatever each pet needs. When I take care of pets, their safety and comfort always come first. If I stay at the owner’s home, I follow their routines exactly — feeding times, walks, rules of the house and any special instructions. I also keep the space clean, make sure doors and windows are secure, and give them lots of attention so they feel relaxed while their family is away. I stay in contact with the owner, send photos or updates, and make sure they know their pet is happy, safe and well cared for :)
