Hondenoppas in Drechterland

Over: I was born in a small town in Hungary, and I lived with lots of animals as a child. I would rather spend my free time with them than with people. I love them very much, especially dogs, cats, and horses. I wanted to be a veterinarian for a long time, but I wasn't a good enough student. I currently have a guinea pig; her old companion recently died (he was 7), so I'm looking for a companion for her. I work from home, and every day I go out to the park next to us to walk and get some fresh air, so it's not a problem to take your pet for a walk or two during the day. My work hours are flexible, so I can go and feed the cats. The size of the dogs is not important; I get along well with them, and they immediately feel my love and trust me. We have plenty of space in the house, with a comfortable sofa and soft blankets. I will be happy to take care of your dog and walk it. There are very nice parks in this area. I will also take care of cats, and I will be happy to be a sitter for a full day. If you go on vacation, you can safely trust me with your pets. I don't speak Dutch, but I'd be happy to learn a few phrases that your dog will listen to. :) Practical details about my services: Experience: Over 10+ years of personal experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Safety & Emergencies: In case of emergency, I can immediately take your pet to the nearest vet in Hoorn. (a quarter of an hour walk or a 5-minute bike ride) Daily routine: During dog boarding or day care, your dog will never be left alone for more than 1–2 hours, as I work from home. Active time: I provide 3-4 walks a day in the nearby parks, customized to your dog's energy levels. Updates: I will send you photo and video updates via WhatsApp or Pawshake during every walk or sitting session. My partner and I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can go for a walk with your dog every 2 hours. I have a fenced garden and a big house. Your little pet will be safe here. I have two guinea pigs in a fenced cage.

“Soraia was very easy to communicate with and she even picked us up at the train station to make our day begin easier. She and her dog Frederico were very good with Shasta, and she sent some photos and videos throughout the day. Thank you Soraia!”

“Via het internet heb ik de organisatie Rover gevonden. Wij zijn op vakantie in Callantsoog en kregen het bericht dat er een goede vriend was overleden. Wij wilden naar de crematie maar konden onze hond Dex niet in de Caravan achterlaten vanwege de hoge temperaturen. Via Rover zijn wij met Maria in contact gekomen en haar uitgekozen om een dag en nacht op Dex te passen. Maria is een superlieve vrouw en dierenvriend, het klikte tussen ons en Dex en wij konden hem met een zeer rustig gevoel bij haar achterlaten. Wij werden zeer goed geïnformeerd met korte filmpjes over het wel en wee van Dex en Maria. Maria hartelijk bedankt en wij wensen jou alle goeds, jij bent een echte Dierenvriendin‼️”

Over: Ik heb zelf 12 jaar lang een hond gehad die ik met veel liefde heb mogen verzorgen en een super gelukkig hondje was. Vanaf mijn 6e tot 18 jaar was onze hond bij ons. Kort geleden hebben we afscheid moeten nemen van onze lieve hond. We hebben veel ervaring met honden en verzorgen ze met alle liefde. Momenteel heb ik vakantie en ben ik beschikbaar om in de vakantieperiodes op honden te passen. Ik ben de hele dag (niet elke dag) beschikbaar. Ik heb een grote tuin waar de honden lekker kunnen rennen en spelen. Het is een fijne en rustige omgeving. Binnen hebben ze ook alle ruimte om te kunnen spelen. We hebben helaas geen hondje meer, maar wel nog een hamster waar de honden natuurlijk niet bij kunnen komen.

“Dolly was bij Maria in super goede handen. Het was haar eerste keer logeren bij onbekenden, dus ik belde vooraf even en dat voelde meteen goed. Ze werd behandeld alsof ze hun eigen kindje was. Echt een warm en vertrouwd gevoel. De updates met foto's en video's waren super fijn, zo wist ik precies dat ze het naar haar zin had. Maria raad ik absoluut aan voor iedereen die hun hond met een gerust hart wil achterlaten. We komen zeker terug! 🐾”

Over: I have always veen taking care of animals. Big and small, young and old. I’m experienced with the well-being of animals. Mainly cats, dogs, bunnies, birds and hamsters. It would be wonderful to work with you and take care of your pet! I’m working part-time so I'm flexible with my time. It is also possible for me to stay overnight to take care of the pet. You can always discuss the time and date with me and it will be made sure of to find a solution that fits both of our schedules. I have a cat but he prefers to go outdoors or visit my other family near us. I have a small garden where it is always possible to play and we have a big house with 5 bedrooms so space is not a problem! Also can crate your pet if it is needed from the owner.

“My dogs had a wonderful time, they had Great Walks, playing nearly the whole day long, but most of all they got so much Love ! Happy Dogs, Happy me. Thankyou so much Camilla & Family <3”

“Sky is voor het eerst van zijn hele leven uit logeren geweest. Ik vond het heel spannend, maar werden goed begeleid. Ik kreeg elke dag een appje met foto’s en hoe het ging. Sky heeft zich heerlijk vermaakt, ook sky was gewoon op vakantie. Hij was heel relaxed en Cristina en haar man waren heel lief voor sky, hij komt heel graag terug! Ik raad Cristina iedereen aan Sky has been staying out for the first time in his entire life. I found it very exciting, but were well supervised. I got an app every day with pictures and how it was going. Sky had a great time, Sky was also just on vacation. He was very relaxed and Cristina and her husband were very sweet to sky, he would love to come back! I recommend Cristina to everyone”

Over: I am a Brazilian immigrant who loves animals and is deeply dedicated to their care. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and genuine affection, always making their safety and comfort my top priority. I am available every morning and on weekends. I work part-time from home, which allows me to stay close, provide attentive care, and fully dedicate myself to my passion for being a pet sitter. I have one small, friendly dog and a fully fenced yard that provides a safe, secure space for play. I supervise all interactions closely and always follow each pet’s routine and safety needs.

Over: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood. My family dog was reactive, so I’m experienced and calm with dogs of all temperaments. I now share my home with Waffles, a friendly toy poodle, so your dog will have a gentle companion. We live in a quiet ground-floor apartment with direct street access, making walks easy and stress-free. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets for years. I work from home full time, so I’m always around and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. We typically do 1 to 3 walks daily, with potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours as needed.

“Cong is an absolute sweetheart and very caring! I 100% trust her looking after my dog. She sent many updates when I was away and I could see that my blind rescue was so comfortable, happy, and having a blast with her. I highly recommend booking with Cong, and will book her again.”

Over: Sinds mijn geboorte ben ik al omringd door huisdieren, poezen, honden, konijnen, vogels, zelf paarden. Ik zou mij geen leven zonder huisdieren kunnen voorstellen. Ik laat graag de hond uit en knuffel met de poezen. Momenteel zit ik in de ziektewet en ben ik elke dag thuis met de poezen en mijn dochter (4 april 2025). Ik wandelde elke dag met onze grote Zwitser, helaas in december 2024 moeten laten gaan :( . nieuwe wandelmaatjes welkom! Ik zorg altijd voor een rustige ontmoeting met het dier. Onze poezen hebben een eigen klimmuur dus die kunnen waarnodig de rust opzoeken. Onze poezen kunnen 100% met honden. P

“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 !!!🥰❤️”

“Anastasia was the perfect boarding host for Kika: warm, friendly, lots of walks in Nooderpark. And their space is lovely, with a nice living room and a gorgeous outdoor garden. Can't say enough about Anastasia, highly recommend!”

“Mariia was incredibly kind and made my cat feel truly welcome and, most importantly, comfortable. The daily pictures and updates gave me real peace of mind and helped me stay calm, knowing my cat was in good hands. I’m absolutely sure she enjoyed her time there, she didn’t even want to leave 😂 recommended!”
