Hondenopvang 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.

“La verdad que ha cuidado de mi perra genial. Se ha adaptado a todos los cambios que tuvimos y estoy contentísimo. Se la dejaré siempre que lo necesite. Confianza 100% y un amor con los animales”

Over: /NEDERLANDS Ik ben opgegroeid met dieren en heb door de jaren heen voor allerlei huisdieren gezorgd, waaronder katten, honden, papegaaien, vissen en konijnen. Daarnaast heb ik jarenlang paardgereden. Op latere leeftijd heb ik meer dan 10 jaar mijn eigen agapornissen gehad (lovebirds), waardoor ik veel ervaring heb opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, verantwoordelijkheid en het begrijpen van de behoeften van een huisdier. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen huisdieren meer en ik merk dat ik het gezelschap van dieren erg mis. Daarom vind ik oppassen op huisdieren zo leuk. Regelmatig pas ik op de dieren van familie en vrienden, en ik geniet er echt van om tijd met dieren door te brengen. Of jouw huisdier nu houdt van lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon een vertrouwd gezicht in huis, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt! /ENGLISH I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for many different pets over the years, including cats, dogs, parrots, fish, and rabbits. I also spent many years horse riding. Later in life, I had my own lovebirds (agapornis parrots) for more than 10 years, which gave me plenty of experience with daily pet care, responsibility, and understanding the needs of animals. At the moment, I don't have any pets of my own anymore, and I really miss having animals around. That's one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much. I regularly look after pets for family and friends, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. /NEDERLANDS Ik werk 36 uur per week en werk 2 à 3 dagen vanuit huis. De dagen die als beschikbaar staan aangegeven op mijn profiel zijn de dagen waarop ik thuiswerk. Omdat mijn werk vrij flexibel is, heb ik gedurende de dag genoeg tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, eten geven en natuurlijk veel aandacht en knuffels voor jouw huisdier. In de weekenden heb ik alle tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan de verzorging en het gezelschap van jouw huisdier. Jouw huisdier zal nooit tekortkomen aan aandacht, beweging, liefde en een fijne omgeving :) /ENGLISH I work a 36-hour week and work from home 2–3 days during the week. The days marked as available on my profile are the days I work from home. Because my job is quite flexible, I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course giving your pet lots of attention and affection. During weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pet's care and company. Your pet will never be short on attention, cuddles, or exercise while staying with us :) /NEDERLANDS Ik woon in een modern nieuwbouwappartement in een rustige omgeving. Mijn woning is schoon, veilig en comfortabel, met een ruim stenen balkon dat volledig is afgesloten met glazen wanden, waardoor huisdieren veilig kunnen genieten van frisse lucht en zon. /ENGELS I live in a modern, newly built apartment in a quiet area. My home is clean, safe, and comfortable, with a spacious stone balcony enclosed by glass panels where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

“She was incredibly sweet and attentive, always keeping me updated. Zeca felt completely comfortable and happy with her! I loved everything about the experience and highly recommend her.”

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.

“Natalia en haar familie hebben fantastisch voor mijn lieve hond Lua gezorgd. Lua is door haar leeftijd en het feit dat ze maar drie poten heeft geen doorsnee hond om op te passen, maar Natalia heeft haar gedurende de paar dagen dat ik op vakantie was alle zorg, aandacht en geduld gegeven die ze nodig had. Ik kreeg iedere dag een update, inclusief leuke foto's, waardoor ik met een gerust hart van mijn vakantie kon genieten. Niet alleen Natalia, maar haar hele familie straalde liefde voor dieren uit, en dat was duidelijk terug te zien in de manier waarop ze met Lua omgingen. Lua heeft het zichtbaar ontzettend naar haar zin gehad. Mocht ik in de toekomst weer een oppas nodig hebben, dan weet ik zeker dat ik haar met een gerust hart opnieuw aan Natalia en haar familie toevertrouw.”

“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.”

“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: Hello! I am Evridiki, from Greece and I am living in the Netherlands for the last 7 years, so is by now my second home. I am more than happy to take care of your dog(s) or cats and I can remember every detail of the instructions that will be given. I am really positive and I would like to help as much as possible. After all, its a win win since I can spend some time with adorable pets. Myself I was surrounded by two beautiful cats but they dont live with me anymore since I moved away. Let me know what you need and maybe we can arrange something. Very flexible and willing to work with you. See you soon 🐾 Im currently working in retail / famous clothing brand most afternoons. Usually free on weekends and Monday but I can always take care of your pets before and after work. I always listen to instructions. I usually dont leave doors open and on daily walks i never leave a dog unattended. Cats are always advised to stay inside.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 Leaving your dog with someone else is never easy, but from the very first moment we felt completely at ease. She has a beautiful, spotless apartment and creates such a calm, welcoming environment. When we picked up our dog, he looked incredibly relaxed, happy, and comfortable as if he had been on his own little holiday! She was thoughtful and attentive throughout the entire stay, regularly sending us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Knowing that our dog was safe, loved, and well looked after allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. ❤️🐶✨”

Carlotta S.

Over: I grew up around all kinds of animals (cats, dogs, bunnies and duckies) so l love every type of furry friend! Since I moved away from Greece, I miss every day my family dog but I find joy in taking care my friend's and colleague's pets while they are away and I love every second of it. I work hybrid, so my schedule is quite flexible with most days working remotely at home. Always happy to have a furry company to spend the day together and going for walks during my lunch break. I don't own other pets so my attention will be focused on treating your pet as part of the family. There is plenty of space for a bed, toys and all things to make the transition as smooth as possible.

“We waren best gespannen om ons hondje Blizzard voor het eerst bij een onbekende achter te laten, maar vanaf het eerste contact met Shaima hadden we meteen een goed gevoel. Ze was ontzettend warm en liefdevol, en haar ervaring met honden straalde er vanaf. Dat stelde ons enorm gerust. Tijdens het verblijf hield Shaima ons dagelijks op de hoogte met lieve berichtjes, updates en leuke foto’s. Ze nam echt de tijd om ons mee te nemen in hoe het met Blizzard ging, wat we als heel prettig hebben ervaren. Ze stelde gerust vragen wanneer dat nodig was, wat haar zorgzaamheid en betrokkenheid alleen maar bevestigde. Wat we ook enorm waardeerden: Shaima merkte dat Blizzard soms wat vaker naar buiten moest omdat hij het niet altijd even goed kon ophouden. Ze heeft zich daar meteen op aangepast en is meerdere keren korte wandelmomentjes met hem gegaan. Zo lief, ze keek echt naar wat hij nodig had. En het allerbelangrijkste: Blizzard had het zó naar zijn zin, dat we bij het ophalen bijna het gevoel kregen dat hij liever nog even bij Shaima bleef. Op de foto’s en video’s zagen we ook hoe blij en ontspannen hij was, en hoe liefdevol zij met hem omging. Wij komen zéker terug bij Shaima. Het was voor ons (en voor Blizzard!) echt een ontzettend fijne en warme ervaring. We raden haar met alle vertrouwen aan!”

“It was such a relief to meet Christa! To find her such a lovely and responsible person, I could absolutely trust her with my dog. He’s quite a tough dog to handle with lots of precautions, but she was perfectly able to deal with him and fully respected all my rules with discipline. They got along very well, and I was impressed - especially it was my first time ever to leave my dog with a stranger. Christa was also easy to communicate with, responsive, sent me updates and was flexible. I will go exclusive from here on out!”

Nour S.

“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 !!!🥰❤️”

“Olivia and Caleb went above and beyond to be the best sitters for Casper. Given his senior age, Casper has many struggles but they took great care of him and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. They were so kind to Casper and I’m very grateful for this. They would be my first recommendation for anyone who needs a sitter!”

Over: Raised with dogs my whole life, I offer reliable pet sitting, fun walks, and endless affection. Your furry friend will always feel safe and loved! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule! I currently work three days a week until 5:00 PM, which leaves me with plenty of open time. During the evenings, I am highly flexible, I am available to do overnight stays at the owner's house to look after the dog, or I can easily bring the dog back to my own home to take care of them. When caring for pets in my own home, your dog will be welcomed into a very warm and loving environment. I live with 3 flatmates who absolutely love dogs as well, so there will always be plenty of affection, attention, and extra hands to make sure your pet feels right at home. Whether I am pet-sitting at my place or staying overnight at your client’s home, my priority is always maintaining the animal's usual routine. This includes sticking to their regular feeding schedules, managing their exercise needs with plenty of walks, and ensuring they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their surroundings.

“Maria looked after my dog Nelson for the second time for 2 weeks. I really appreciated the daily updates with pictures and details about his day. Nelson can be a bit difficult with people he doesn’t know very well, but Maria and her boyfriend were very patient and eventually he felt comfortable with them. I would highly recommend her services!”

Over: I have been surrounded by pets since I was a child. Growing up with both a cat and a dog, I learned early on how to read their different "languages." One of my proudest achievements was successfully socialising my cat and dog to live in harmony, a process that required a lot of patience, calm energy, and an understanding of animal boundaries. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience walking my relatives' dogs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs to run or a shy dog who needs a gentle leader, I am comfortable adapting to different personalities. I’m not just a "sitter", I’m someone who genuinely enjoys the bond that comes from a long walk and a good play session. Im a 20-year-old student living in Almere. Because my studies allow for a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of free time and energy to dedicate to your furry friends. I’m currently saving up for my tuition, and since I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to occasional travel, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to share my home and heart with animals! I live right near Oostvaarders Station, which is a dream location for dogs! We are minutes away from incredible green spaces and the edges of the Oostvaardersplassen. My "adventure walks" take place in these expansive, quiet areas where your dog can truly explore. Also my neighborhood is peaceful and pet-friendly, with plenty of room to roam away from heavy city traffic. To ensure the highest level of safety and care, I only host one pet at a time. They will have my undivided attention for cuddles, play, and supervision. Safety & Communication Safety is my priority. I always use a leash during walks unless we are in a securely fenced-in area. I know how much you’ll miss your pet, so I love sending regular "pupdates" with photos and videos of our day so you can see how much fun they’re having! I only accept vaccinated pets to keep everyone safe and healthy. I can't wait to meet your companion and give them a fun, stress-free stay!
