Hondenopvang Giessenlanden

Over: (English below) Hallo, Wilma hier (oktober 1966), en ik woon in Krimpen aan den IJssel, vlak bij Rotterdam. Ik ben een zeer ervaren huizenruiler en heb 14 jaar via uitwisselingen op huizen en huisdieren gepast in - en buiten Europa. Ik weet dus hoe het is om dieren bij iemand achter te laten en om voor andere dan eigen dieren te zorgen.  Sinds 2024 heb ik zelf geen dieren meer. Mijn vaste oppas hond (was 15) en vaste oppas poes (was 17) zijn in 2025 overleden. Via een grote Britse website pas ik nu op honden en katten in het buitenland in ruil voor een verblijf zodat ik kan reizen. Via Rover.com zoek ik honden waarop ik kan passen als ik thuis ben. Mijn ervaringen hebben me flexibel, vindingrijk en bekwaam gemaakt om met uitdagingen om te gaan die zich tijdens de afwezigheid van de eigenaar kunnen voordoen. Ik hou zoveel contact met eigenaren als ze dat willen zodat ze op de hoogte blijven over het welzijn van hun dier(en) terwijl ze weg zijn. -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- I'm Wilma (october 1966), a very experienced home-exchanger and have looked after homes/pets for 14 years in and outside Europe. I know what it's like to leave your pet(s) with someone and how to take care of someone else's pets. Since 2024 I no longer have pets of my own. The dog and cat I regularly cared for (for 15 yrs and 17 yrs) have past away in 2025.  I look after dogs and cats abroad through a major British website in exchange for a stay so I can travel. Through Rover.com I seek dogs I can take care of when I'm at home. My experiences have made me flexible, resourceful, and skilled at handling challenges that may arise during the owner's absence. I have as much contact with owners as they wish to so that they stay informed about the well-being of their animal(s) while away. Geen bijzonderheden te melden op deze plek. Ik ben 7 dagen per week beschikbaar. +++++++ No special notifications. I am available 7 days of the week. (English below) Ik ben betrouwbaar, toon verantwoordelijk en degelijk gedrag en respecteer privacy en wensen van eigenaren. Ik ben gezond (vegetarische leefstijl, rook niet, drink geen alcohol, gebruik geen drugs). Ik zorg voor dieren alsof ze van mij zelf zijn. Ik speel met ze, kam ze en knuffel ze. Bij voorkeur neem ik honden overal mee naartoe, ook met het openbaar vervoer. Hij/zijj krijgt alle aandacht, inclusief lange wandelingen, zonder dat ik voortdurend met een mobiele telefoon bezig ben. IEDERE DAG! Omheinde tuin en ik woon aan een singel. +++++++ I'm reliable, show responsible and solid behavior, and respect the privacy and wishes of owners. I'm healthy (vegetarian lifestyle, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, don't use drugs). I care for animals as if they were my own. I play with them, brush them, and cuddle them. Preferably I take dogs everywhere I go, also with public transport. He/she receives all the attention, including long walks, without me spending every minute on my phone. EVERY DAY! Fenched garden. At a canal.

“Was hele prettige kennismaking Na verblijf was Rust heel relaxed en je kon merken dat hij het enorm naar zijn zin heeft gehad Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar”

“We are so happy we found Tatiana on this website! The communication was open and friendly. The stay went well and smoothly. We had a really good break with zero worries. And the dog is calm and happy afterward.”

Over: Hello! My name is Jiayi, and I would be delighted to look after your pet. My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from my love for animals and the joy I get from spending time with them. Pet sitting is a wonderful opportunity for me to spend my free time doing something I truly enjoy while also earning some extra income. I charge very low because I’m still new in pet sitting, but with all my heart, I will not break your trust ❤️ I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and welcoming environment. I have experience caring for pets belonging to clients and also friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how important it is to be patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I take pride in being a caring and trustworthy person, and I treat pets with the same kindness that I would give my own. For the health and safety of all pets, I only accept vaccinated animals into my home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home most days, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. On weekends, I have a flexible schedule and am available all day to give pets extra attention and care. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care requirements to ensure they receive personalized attention. As I work from home most days, your pet will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep fresh water available at all times, and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Very nice couple. A little far out of the way from Delft, but not a bad thing as long as it’s not raining and the trains are running! My dog had a great time with them. She almost didn’t want to leave! They followed my instructions well, and sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend. They took my dog on lots of small outings and seemed to treat her like their own. Will book again in the future!”

“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.”

Over: Lifelong dog lover offering reliable care! I grew up with pups and have my own friendly dog. I provide walks and visits, follow your schedule, and treat your pet like family. Although I work full-time, I always make sure the dogs in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I work alternating shifts, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. Even when I have an early shift, I'm used to early mornings, so getting up at 4 a.m. isn't a problem for me. Dogs staying with me will enjoy at least four walks a day: one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and two more walks before bedtime. I also spend a lot of time outdoors with my own dog, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities to explore, exercise, and have fun. I understand that every dog has different needs. If your dog prefers to walk alone or isn't comfortable with other dogs, I'm more than happy to take them on separate walks. I don't use a crate unless that's part of your dog's normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're with me. I can easily take care of your dog's or cats special needs, my own dog is allergic to chicken and is very picky. I have lots of patience and I would care for it as for my own baby.

“From the moment I met Maxime, I knew Chloé and Reign were in good hands. She is incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. She kept me updated every day with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Maxime to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Over: As a lifelong animal lover living in Utrecht, I offer a calm and loving home where your pets will be treated like family. I work from home, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I've cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family over the years and truly enjoy spending time with them-whether it's a playful walk, a cuddle on the couch, or keeping them company when you're away. My home is safe, smoke-free, and is located accros the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal in Utrecht, which means plenty of green area for your best friend to play around. Whether it's for a weekend or a longer stay, you can count on me for reliable, loving care-and lots of updates! I work from home, so have plenty of time to exchange and play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on any day of the week. I provide care in a calm, smoke-free apartment with a beautiful view of the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal boulevard. My home is a safe and peaceful environment, with no children and no resident pets, so your pet will receive my full attention and comfort while staying here.

Over: Animals have always found their way into my heart, and I’ve made sure to return the favor. I’ve looked after friends’ pets many times, and I still can’t walk past a stray without stopping to feed it. I visit animal shelters and donate when I can, because every animal deserves someone in their corner. One of my favorite memories is from Groningen, where a neighborhood cat and I became close friends. She’d wander into my room and stay for hours, just keeping me company like we’d known each other forever. That’s the kind of bond I hope to build with the pets I care for: not just meeting their needs, but making them feel genuinely safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently doing an internship, working from home most days, with only Tuesday and Thursday in the office. That means I have plenty of flexibility to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your pet throughout the week. Weekends I’m fully free, so I’m also available for boarding or longer stays if needed. I live alone in a 35-square-meter room in Zoetermeer, so your pet would get quiet, one-on-one attention without other pets or people around to compete for it. The building has a huge shared yard, which is great for walks, playtime, and letting dogs burn off energy safely. Since it’s just me, I can keep a close eye on your pet at all times and stick closely to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you give me. I treat every home I’m in, including my own, as a space where your pet’s comfort and safety come first.

“Super oppas! Mijn hond heeft een fijne tijd hier gehad, werd lekker meegenomen op lange wandelingen! Super fijn, volgende keer zal ik Rick opnieuw vragen om op te passen😃”

Over: Hey there! I'm 30, I'm an entrepreneur and I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your furry babies. I have been cat sitting for neighbors in Amsterdam (omval and de Pijp) for couple of years. I have recently moved to Rotterdam and would like to continue petsitting . I will make sure your cat is well fed, cuddled and have a clean litter box while you are away from home. I love cats and I got my first cat,Ziggy, when I was 3 years old. The one in my profile photo was Psiu, he lived happy 18 years with me. I have extensive experience cat sitting for family, friends and flatmates. I have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my agenda to best fit yout pet schedule. For cats I can visit early in the morning or evening, as they are usually more active then. I can dogsit/ walk many times a day if needed. Please check my calendar but don't hesitate to request petsitting days alternatives. For house boarding:I have a backyard facing the canal, there is a fence 1m20cm high. Unfortunately I cannot accept cat boarding because I have 2 small birds( they have their own room) At CLIENTS: rest easy, I will take good care of pets and if needed plants too! Also I can do some light cleaning before you arrive , to leave everything as you left before the holidays (e.g. vacuum, put trash out)

“She’s very nice and my dog looked very happy. She had a play date with another dog. And they became friends. It was so cute. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Carla is een lieve en betrouwbare honden oppas. De liefde voor honden straalt ze aan alle kanten uit. Onze hond was laatst voor de tweede keer bij haar, en hij heeft het weer helemaal naar zijn zin gehad. Wij laten hem met een gerust hart bij Carla achter, wetend dat hij daar in hele goede handen is!”

Over: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11. Dogs of various breeds and sizes and personalities. Love an active lifestyle so your pets will get the best care and walks during the day as well as a stable feeding schedule and lots of attention and care. I have a flexible schedule so I can work around the best needs for your pets so they get the best care and walks as well as plenty of attention! I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow feeding and medication instructions precisely, monitor behavior for signs of stress or illness, secure doors and hazards, and provide consistent routines, enrichment, and clear communication with owners to ensure safety and trust.

“Marcela and Cristian are fantastic team - my baby was clearly in good hands. And as anxious doggie mum who was leaving him first time in a new place I got all the updates and photos - could not be happier with the experience!”

“Elly heeft een week op Evy gepast en dat is ons en Evy fantastisch bevallen. Elly is een lieve, zorgzame oppas. Elke dag zijn we op de hoogte gehouden met een filmpje hoe het met Evy ging, Ze liet haar rustig wennen aan haar nieuwe omgeving en dat had succes! Bij het ophalen liet Evy zelfs blijken dat ze het nog wel goed had eigenlijk. 😀”

Nancy V.

“As it was the first time our dog stayed at a sitter we were a little nervous. However we quickly received photo's and videos of Remy doing very well, which put our minds at ease. Communication was fast and easy and she does really come across as a true dog-person. Will definately sit with Prerona again!”

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.
