Hondenopvang in 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.

Over: Van jongs af aan ben ik gek op honden! Liefst honden waar je lang mee kunt wandelen, rennen en spelen. Energiek. Ik ben via mijn ouders, familie en vrienden veel in aanmerking gekomen met honden. Pas nu ook regelmatig op en loop met een hond voor de organisatie Dierenbuddy. Momenteel zit ik tussen twee banen in en ben ik meer thuis. Ik doe vrijwilligerswerk, maar heb veel uren over. Deze besteedt ik al veel buiten (in het bos). Aangezien ik veel van honden houd hoop ik die twee te kunnen combineren! Ik woon in een appartement op steenworp afstand van een hondenlosloopgebied. Voor een langere wandeling steek ik zo door naar het grote bos Den Treek. Thuis zou een hond ook even kunnen vertoeven, maar we gaan natuurlijk vooral naar buiten.

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.

Over: Dieren verdienen de beste zorg, en dat geef ik met liefde. Of het nu gaat om vachtverzorging, het geven van voer, een fijne wandeling of gewoon een moment van knuffelen en aaien – ik zorg ervoor dat elk dier zich veilig en geliefd voelt. Met geduld, aandacht en toewijding behandel ik jouw huisdier alsof het mijn eigen is. Puppy training kan ik ook met duidelijke constructies 😊 een dag van 8 uur (bijvoorbeeld 9:00–17:00) en een dag van 10 uur (bijvoorbeeld 9:00–19:00). Of een dagdeel of alleen uitlaten er is veel mogelijk want honden oppassen en uitlaten wil ik mijn werk van maken. En we kunnen natuurlijk altijd samen naar kijken 🤗. Als u andere wensen of vragen heeft. Ik maak graag een planning van tevoren. Van bijvoorbeeld uitlaten wanneer voeren wanneer spelen wanneer vrije tijd dat alles wat de hond gewend is om te doen we gewoon door kunnen zetten. Ik geniet van wandelingen in de natuur, spelen in de tuin en vooral van het zien dat een dier zich veilig en gelukkig voelt. Graag maak ik eerst kennis, zodat we kunnen kijken of er een goede klik is. Wat baasjes vaak waarderen, is mijn duidelijke communicatie: ik stuur altijd een berichtje bij aankomst en vertrek, deel foto’s en meld bijzonderheden direct. Zo weet u zeker dat uw dier in goede handen is.

“Thanks again for the great care for Bandit!”

“Charlie had amazing time with Carolina. She was taking pictures and sending updates all day. I recommend this sitter, your dog will be in very good hands!”

Over: I am Ann, a responsible, playful dog owner in Oud Zuid with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs. I have helped take care of special needs dogs in the past-our family dog was blind, and another dog is missing a limb....so I know how to care after the ones that need help the most. We have two rescued dogs, Soju and Sokka. We have a nice space with hardwood floors and a fenced yard. I plan on treating your dog as part of the family - giving them all the play time they need to be happy! I'm currently at home full time so your pup gets plenty of attention. The daily routine includes going to nearby parks (Vondel or Beatrix) and additional potty break walks around the neighborhood. I like to cater to the dogs needs and walking endurance. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. We have plenty of toys and treats. Please inform of any allergies or restrictions.

“Vanesa took care of Mambo and Mambo had an amazing time! Mambo was completely relaxed during his stay with Vanesa, and he was calm and very happy when I picked him up. Vanesa told me how the day went and I noticed, based on what she told me, that she really took good care of Mambo while at home but also during walks. I definitely recommend Vanesa if you're in need of a nice and careful person to take care of your dog.”

Over: I grew up with pets (dogs and rodents) and have taken care of pets practically my whole life. 5 years ago, I took a wonderful boy called Charlie home from the shelter (you can see him in all of my pictures). He was already a bit older, and I was lucky to have him by my side for 4.5 years until he sadly passed away last October. I have a big heart for animals, and therefore miss taking care of a hairy friend! I have experience with taking care of both small and larger dogs, as well as senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I recently started a PhD and am therefore not home during work days (mo-fr). This is why I currently am not in the position of adopting a dog myself, but would love to take care of dogs on the weekends when I am home. When taking care of a dog I adjust my routine to meet the needs of the dog. I try to suit the needs of the animal and respect their boundaries. If they prefer to be lazy or alone, I give them space, if they prefer interaction and play, I give them attention. I feed them and walk them as agreed with the owner.

“Mathilda puts a lot of thought into her work. She provided a fun and challenging day for our high energy rescue Podenco. She took him out with the bike so he could hit his top speed, which is what he loves to do. He has no experience living with cats but Mathilda has the experience and confidence to let him navigate meeting and playing with her cat. Great day!!”

Over: I’m Simone (26), Amsterdam local studying at the University of Amsterdam. I’m only at uni about five hours a week, so I’m home most of the day. 😊 My partner Sam (26) is from England and is working on his PhD. He works from home most days. This means your pet will almost always have one of us around! Sam grew up with a Labrador and cats, so caring for animals has always been part of his life. 🦮🐈 We live in a cozy (37m²) studio in Amsterdam-East, right next to Park Frankendael. Because of our studio setup, our home is best suited for small to medium-sized companion dogs. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to accept large guardian types, mastiffs, or large bull breeds like Pit Bulls, Staffies, and Rottweilers. There is plenty of green space nearby for walks (Ring Dijk, Weesperzijde) 🌲 There is also parking available next to the apartment. If allowed, we love going on longer walks, including trips to the Amsterdam Forest or past nearby cafés. Of course, we always follow your rules and only take pets to places where they are comfortable. If you're looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely happy to hang out with your furry friend, I’d love to meet you! I can also send you picture updates!! 💓📸 P.S. I (Simone) also speak Dutch. 🇳🇱 I am a student at the University of Amsterdam, and my partner is completing his PhD, which means our home is almost never empty! Because we are both primarily home based, your pet will benefit from a very consistent routine with frequent potty breaks, interactive playtime, and a quiet, calm environment perfect for naps. :) Between our schedules, there is nearly always someone here to provide company and supervision. On the rare occasion that we are both out for lectures or research, it is never for more than 5 hours. We are more than happy to adjust our daily flow to match your pet's needs! Our apartment is kept tidy and pet proofed for safety. Although we live on the 4th floor, our building has an elevator, making it easily accessible for dogs of all ages and mobility levels! :) Downstairs, there is a ramp in addition to the stairs (which is much better for the short-legged paws) We are located right next to Park Frankendael, which offers wonderful, green routes for our daily walks. We follow your specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, and sleep habits to ensure your dog’s routine stays consistent. As we love taking pictures you will also get consistent photo updates so you can see exactly how your pup is settling in!

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!

Over: I’ve volunteered at a local animal rescue and worked as a pet sitter, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, litter cleaning, and giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or a senior pet needing special attention, I always make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. My goal is to make every pet as happy and comfortable as if they were at home. I moved to the Netherlands less than a year ago and am currently taking time to explore life and do what I truly love — caring for animals. Since I’m not working full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my 9-year-old cat, who is calm and friendly with both cats and dogs. My home is safe, clean, and cozy — perfect for pets to relax and feel at ease. I always make sure windows and doors are secure, and that the space is free from anything that could harm curious paws. When I care for pets at my clients’ homes, I follow their routines carefully and keep everything as familiar as possible. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and safe.

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.

Over: /Nederlands hieronder/ * I love taking pics so I’ll be sharing lovely moments with you;) * I stay at home with my partner most of time so your loved ones won’t feel bored for sure! *Sitter Pick-up & Drop-off available Let’s get to know me: Hi, I’m Ting! I’m originally from Taiwan and moved to Amsterdam in 2022. I currently live with my Dutch partner in a one-bedroom cozy spacious apartment, and we both love animals! We work/study from home most of the time, so we’d love to have some furry company—and offer your dog a warm, calm environment with plenty of attention. Being a pet sitter lets me share my love for animals while giving them the care and companionship they need when you’re away. - *Ik maak graag foto’s, dus ik zal de leuke momenten met je delen ;) *Ik ben meestal thuis met mijn partner, dus je lieveling zal zich zeker niet vervelen! *Ophalen en terugbrengen door de oppas beschikbaar Even voorstellen: Hoi, ik ben Ting! Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Taiwan en ben in 2022 naar Amsterdam verhuisd. Ik woon samen met mijn Nederlandse partner in een gezellige en ruime eenkamerappartement, en we zijn allebei dol op dieren! We werken/studeren meestal vanuit huis, dus we vinden het heerlijk om gezelschap van een viervoeter te hebben—en bieden je hond een warme, rustige omgeving met veel aandacht. Als dierenoppas kan ik mijn liefde voor dieren delen en ze de zorg en het gezelschap geven die ze verdienen als jij er even niet bent. My partner and I are both students at the moment, so our schedules are very flexible and we spend most of our time at home studying or working on assignments. This means we have plenty of time to be with your fur baby and give them lots of attention, care, and companionship! We care for pets in a safe, calm, and clean environment, either in our home or the owner’s home. We follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets are always supervised during playtime and walks, never left alone for long. We also carefully follow any instructions from the owner to ensure the best care.

Over: I’ll take care of your dog with love and affection. We will go for walks and watch movies together. Can’t wait to take care of them.🐾 I’m a lawyer specialized in sustainability that works as a consultant. On my free time I enjoy taking care of dogs and pets.🐾 it makes me happy 😊 I take care of dogs in my apartment in Amsterdam. They can jump on the bed or the sofa and be as relaxed as they want

Over: Dogs are part of both my childhood and my adulthood. I miss my family dog and would love to give a helping hand. 
I grew up with malinois dogs and have experience with dogs of bigger sizes. But I also have experience with dachshund and smaller breads. I have followed puppy training classes and am used to handling stressed or agitated dogs. I believe the key is to stimulate them as much as they need, and make sure they are active, whether through long walks or playing games. 
 In case of emergency, you can expect me to contact you directly and take all necessary actions promptly, as the platforms facilitates. I have a car and can transport your pet safely in case of emergency.
 About me: I’ve recently finished my studies and have some time to take care of your babies. I live in a cosy apartment and have a dedicated spot for doggies in my living room. My building has an elevator so it's friendly to older dogs as well.
 I am an active person. I will play with your dog, go on long walks, change their water, feed them, take them with outside, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside couple hours or so depending on age. Even better, I live next to a big park, perfect for walks and games.
 I don't have a breed preference or a size preference. I prefer kind dogs that are social with other dogs and used to spending time both inside and outside.

 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I am a post-graduate having a part-time job for a while. I am flexible with my schedule, no day looks exactly the same, I decide what I do. I like to go on long walks daily and am an active person. I play with them, go on walks, change their water, feed them, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for (small) dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside every couple hours or so depending on age.

Over: Sinds ik jong ben ben ik omringt geweest met dieren. Ik wil graag de dieren extra liefde en aandacht geven en de baasjes rust . Ik woon alleen en ik werk niet. Ik ben vaak alleen en altijd thuis. Dus ik heb genoeg tijd om wandelingen te maken of aandacht te geven. Ik heb zelf een balkon en beneden een grote tuin. Er is ook veel natuur waar ik grote wandelingen kan maken. Het is allemaal mogelijk

“Pablo is een fantastische oppas! Hij was erg lief naar mijn hond en heeft me meerdere keren updates gestuurd met foto’s en filmpjes. Hij heeft een ruime woning met genoeg ruimte voor mijn hond om rond te lopen. Zijn vriendin en hij waren de hele dag thuis dus er was continu iemand om Bowser gezelschap te houden. Ik raad Pablo zeker aan!”
