Hondenopvang Bunschoten

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.

“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.”

“Ana and her partner were amazing sitters for my baby girl! I got photos and videos twice a day just like I asked, and they took Emma on long play sessions, walks, and even a visit to the tulip fields. She looked so happy in every video. I’d definitely recommend them and will be booking again. Thanks so much, Ana!”

“Cristina took excellent care of our cat while we were away. Throughout the stay we received photos and videos twice a day with an update. There was plenty of fun and cuddles keeping our cat entertained and calm, and - what's most important - she came back to us relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after. Super carer!”

Over: Hello, dear pet parents! 🐾 My name is Elena, and I’ve always been passionate about animals and the unique personalities that make each one so special. A few years ago, I became the happy cat parent of Arya, and caring for her has been an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience. Through our time together, I’ve learned how important it is to understand an animal’s individual needs, routines, and preferences. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, long walks, or simply providing comfort and attention, I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved. My experience with animals has helped me develop a caring, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. I understand that every cat and dog has their own character, energy level, and way of communicating, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet enjoys active adventures, cozy cuddles, or a calm and familiar routine, I will do my best to provide the care, attention, and affection they need while you’re away. I would be delighted to offer my pet-sitting services across the Amersfoort area and ensure that your beloved companion receives the same level of care and respect that I would give my own pet. 💛 I currently work a part-time morning job, which gives me good flexibility in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, including walks, visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I can also adjust my schedule in advance to fit your pet’s routine when needed. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine, whether I’m caring for them in their own home or during visits. In a pet owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep the pet’s environment familiar and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get the right amount of exercise and attention, and that their usual routines are maintained. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and I’m very mindful of keeping doors, windows, and any hazards properly checked. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and boundaries, so I can interact with them in a calm, respectful way that helps build trust. I always make sure pets feel safe, never rushed, and comfortable at their own pace. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so pets feel relaxed and well looked after while their owners are away.

“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.”

“This was the first time we use the services and I must say we are 100% satisfied. We left our babies and I felt like the most nervous mother who just left her children for the first time at pre school. I was nervous and emotional. Vatsala was amazing. We got updates and photos. Vatsala has been patient and answered all our questions. She has helped us feel comfortable knowing our babies are well cared for. If you are looking for a sitter Vatsala is the best you could ever get”

“Nastia was great! She was very professional, looked very well after our little one and made sure we were updated at any time. We could not have wished for anything more! ❤️”

Vivienne R.

“As always, Kevin was amazing taking care of Lusia. Knowing she’s in safe hands and being spoiled to bits by Kevin is reassuring and enables us to enjoy our holidays without her. When unforeseen things happens (ahem, I forgot to provide enough food…) Kevin is proactive and helps out. I have only good things to say about Kevin and his professionalism. 🙏”

“Cong took so much care to look after Emilio 🐶 He went on walks to the forest, parks and even socializing with her friends. He was completely spoilt with a lots of play time, cuddles and attention! We also received many photos and videos. We will for sure be booking Cong again 😊”

“Georgina took amazing care of coco, sent daily updates and we felt very comfortable leaving Coco with her. Coco came back happy and well exercised. We will definitely rebook with Georgina ❣️”

“Onze Jack Russell Jip heeft het geweldig naar haar zin gehad. Laura en haar vriend hebben haar veel aandacht gegeven en spelletjes gedaan, maar wel rekening gehouden met de beperkingen van een 14-jaar oude dame. Laura hield ons goed op de hoogte via Whatsapp met leuke foto's. We gaan Jip zeker nog eens langsbrengen -:)”

“Austin was a wonderful pet sitter for our puppy! He sent great updates and we could relax knowing our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away. We’ve already rebooked with Austin for the next time we’re away. I highly recommend Austin!”
