Hondenoppas in Baarn

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

“My Chihuahua Lotti stayed 3 nights with Christiane and everything was perfect!!! 😃Christiane is a wondeful person that loves dogs. Christiane sent me updates every day with videos, photos and text. I always felt very sure that Lotti was in excellent hands. I recommend Christiane to anyone and would leave Lotti with her any time. Thanks again for looking so well after Lotti !!!🥰❤️”

“Agata and Sebastian took wonderful care of Fuzzy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept us updated regularly with lovely messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that Fuzzy was comfortable, happy, and was getting lots of love and affection. They were very attentive to his needs, especially when he was not eating normally at first, and even went the extra mile to help him feel comfortable. We really appreciated how caring, responsible, and thoughtful they were throughout. Fuzzy came back relaxed and happy, which says everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind and reliable sitters.”

“So grateful to these two for how well they took care of my fur child. They’re caring, prompt with communication and just genuinely lovely people! I’d absolutely take them up to look after Lumos again.”

“Maria looked after my yorkshire, Nelson, for few days while I was away on holidays. She kept me update throughout the entire time, with loads of photos and details about their day. Nelson has some behaviour issues and is not a very social dog, however, Maria made me feel very comfortable and clearly knows how to handle a dog in difficult situations. She is responsible, communicates clearly and has loads of experience. I would definitely reach out to Maria again whenever I go away in the future.”

Over: Na mijn persoonlijke reis met mijn puppy die ik heb grootgebracht en getraind ben ik mijn liefde voor honden en andere dieren alleen maar meer gaan waarderen. Door mijn eigen ervaringen heb ik geleerd hoeveel rust, vertrouwen en geluk dieren kunnen brengen. Ik bied honden en katten een warm en liefdevol thuis in mijn fijne huis, omringd door natuur. Met rust, aandacht en fijne wandelingen midden in de natuur, langs bossen, vijvers en de duinen. In mijn grote afgesloten tuin en speciaal ingerichte kamer kunnen zij veilig ontspannen, spelen en genieten van alle aandacht die zij nodig hebben. Ik vind het belangrijk dat dieren zich veilig, rustig en vertrouwd voelen. Daarom kijk ik goed naar hun behoeften en geef ik ieder dier persoonlijke aandacht. De aanwezigheid van honden mis ik enorm en daarom geef ik honden en katten met veel liefde, geduld en aandacht een warm thuis. Missschien tot snel! 😊 Ik werk voornamelijk vanuit huis, waardoor de verzorging van huisdieren perfect in mijn dagelijkse routine past. Mijn dagen kan ik flexibel indelen zodat er voldoende tijd is voor uitlaten, spelen, rustmomenten en persoonlijke aandacht. Daarnaast maak ik graag wandelingen in de dichtbijgelegen bossen en prachtige duinen, zodat honden voldoende beweging, frisse lucht en ontspanning krijgen. Ik verzorg huisdieren in een rustige, veilige en huiselijke omgeving met veel persoonlijke aandacht. In mijn ruime huis en omheinde tuin kunnen honden vrij rennen, spelen en ontspannen. Daarnaast heb ik twee aparte kamers ingericht: één voor honden met matten en speeltjes, en één voor katten met een speel- en klimhoek waar zij zich veilig kunnen terugtrekken. Meerdere keren per dag maken we fijne wandelingen en tussendoor zijn er voldoende rustmomenten, zodat dieren zich ontspannen en vertrouwd kunnen voelen.

“Celine and her partner were absolutely amazing with our dog. It was our first time having her stay somewhere other than home since we adopted her a year ago, and Celine kept us updated the whole time, and I could tell our dog was super happy with all the care, attention, and outings. Thanks so much to Celine for all her care and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again,”

Over: My name is Maria, i’m 26 years old from Greece. I have experience with taking care of pets, both dogs and cats since 5 years ago. I love spending quality time with pets, playing with them, going for long walks, meeting new places and making their word as big as i can. I’m a psychologist of people but i can also be a great psychologist for your pets haha :). I always try to make your pets feel like home, hearing their needs (even if they cannot speak verbally-non verbal communication matters ;). If you try to find someone to take care your pets, i’m here for you. I had a dog for 4,5 years, so i can understand how important is for you to find someone you actually cares of your best friend. I’m doing a master in social and health psychology and at this moment i only have to do my thesis and a part time internship so i can spend the rest of the day with your pets, providing them the best experience possible:) I always hear your pets, without neglecting their needs. I love playing with them, going long walks in parks and learning their behaviour, as every pet is different but unique

“Kon op voorhand een keer met Onyx langskomen om te kijken. Onyx voelde zich direct op zijn gemak en Guusje kon goed met hem overweg. Alles is volgens afspraak verlopen.”

“Mariangel es una cuidadora de animales muy cariñosa y maravillosa. Mi vieja perra regresa con las ganas de quedarse con Mariangel, ya que tiene una conexión muy fuerte con los animales. Ella es una gran cuidadora.”

Over: Hello! My name is Sandy, I’m 30 years old, a mother, and I truly understand the importance of care, attention, and responsibility in daily life. I am new to professional pet sitting, but I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. I am caring, gentle, and responsible. My priority is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you are away. I am available Tuesday to Saturday from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Mondays and Sundays are usually not available, but occasional exceptions can be arranged in advance. I live in a spacious home with a large yard. The outdoor area is not fully enclosed, so pets will always be supervised when outside for their safety and comfort.

Over: I love dogs more than humans, which is honestly why you want me watching yours. I don't treat this like a job or a chore I just like hanging out with them. On nice days, expect me to walk your dog to the park for well over an hour just to let them run around and explore. You can do your thing without feeling guilty, knowing your dog is getting all my attention. My schedule is pretty flexible and easy to work around. I usually handle walks in the mornings or early afternoons, but let me know what you need and we can make it work. I’m always happy to do a quick meet and greet with you and your dog before any official bookings just to make sure we’re all a great fit for each other. I also prefer to focus on one dog at a time, though I can take multiples upon request if they're from the same household.
