Hondenoppas in Groningen

“Wij gingen nachtje logeren in een hotel inGroningen en onze hond mocht logeren bij Henk en Renske. Ze heeft het heerlijk gehad en wij kregen enthousiaste fotos over haar. Dank Renske en Henk!”

Over: Growing up with everything from chickens and goats to cats and dogs, I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. I currently share my home with three cats, so I know the stress of leaving your pets behind when you’re traveling. Having moved from Japan to the Netherlands with my own furry friends, I understand how important it is to find trustworthy care for your pets during times of transition. I’m here to give your pets the same love and attention I give mine. I work full-time remotely on weekdays, so I’m always home to watch my cats and will be able to watch yours at all times too! If you’re trusting me to have your pet at my home, they will be staying exclusively on the upstairs area of my house, away from my resident cats to avoid conflict. They will have a few rooms to roam around and a camera to monitor their activities. At your home, I’ll be following your instructions and care for your pets as I would care for my own. In both situations, I’ll make sure to take plenty of pictures and videos so you won’t miss them too much! I’ll also send you a comprehensive report on how they’re doing while being in my care.

“Absolutely amazing service! I got stylish pictures with my dog, who can be a little grumpy with new people, throughout the stay. Really flexible, reliable and just gave me a really good vibe. Will definitely be coming back.”

Over: I had many dogs, since I was 1 year old maybe, and I'm so grateful! They are part of my life, teaching me about care, friendship and loyalty. I work remotely, so I'm at home most of the time, week days and weekends. I mostly hang out on Saturday and/or Sunday during the day for few hours, but in general I'm a person who doesn't spend much time away from home. My husband and I have a female sweet cat – she was already his cat before I entered his life :D . We both love cats and dogs, and in case of dog I can easily bathe the dog if needed, give medicines and cut nails. In the case of cats, always depends on its personality ;) Unfortunately, I lost all my dogs photos when I changed my phone almost 10 years ago :'(

Over: All my childhood I had many dogs, cats I nursed, played and cooked for them. My parents always told me that we are responsible for those who have been tamed. It has raised in me responsible and attentive approach. I later realized that each animal is a unique person with its own habits, feelings, fears and mood. I approach each pet very carefully and sensitively, build a trusting contact and respect his personal boundaries. I am a graduate student at Minerva Academy. I am mostly occupied in the middle of the week, and the days from Friday to Monday are usually free. I will walk your dog frequently if it needs. I will follow your instructions as your require, I will be attentive to the characteristics of your pet.

“Tiago heeft echt een fantastische tijd gehad! Vanaf het eerste moment was er een klik en ik voelde meteen dat hij in goede handen was. Ze is een superleuke, lieve meid en ze nam de tijd om mij op de hoogte te houden met foto’s en filmpjes — dat gaf me zoveel rust. Ik kon Tiago met een heel gerust hart achterlaten en zag aan alles dat hij zich helemaal op zijn gemak voelde en genoot. Ik ben superblij en zou haar aan iedereen aanraden!”

“Nona did a great job looking after our babies. She made sure to constantly send pics and videos and let us know how they were doing. We felt really comfortable being away from them, especially after seeing them so happy. She even managed to get our boy playing with other dogs which is not something he usually does. We know that our babies got lots of love, care and attention because they came back very happy pups. We will definitely be making use of Nona's services again soon. Thank you again for taking such good care of them!”

“Chuci was very nice, friendly, and polite. I could tell my cat enjoyed their time with them and was properly cared for. She contacted me pro-actively with pictures and the whole experience was positive - would recommend!”

Over: Sinds mijn 6e heb ik al dieren om me heen gehad. Eerst een Boomer en later een Mechelse herder. Met beide kon/kan ik erg goed. Ik ben dol op dieren en zou nu ik in Groningen woon ook graag op een huisdier willen passen! Ik zit in de eindfase van mijn bachelor, wat betekent dat ik veel vrije tijd heb. Geen vaste werk/studiedagen waardoor ik een erg flexibel agenda heb. Ik vind consequentie en positieve training erg belangrijk. Verder geldt, wat bij het baasje thuis mag/niet mag, geldt ook hier. Ik hoor graag van het baasje zelf wat fijn is voor het diertje!

“My dog Harriet stayed with Willemijn and her partner Jelte for a weekend. They are both super lovely and kept me updated throughout. I felt very comfortable leaving Harriet with them, they made a very caring and calm impression. Would 100% recommend!”

Over: I'm a Mexican biologist and photographer. I've had pets my whole life: cats, dogs, horses. Right now, I have no pets. Any holidays I get now, I spend them taking care of animals (horses, sheep, dogs). I love doing sports together, like cycling, running and hillwalking. I used to live with a Border Collie (the one on the photo) and we'd play mind games and I'd teach her new words every day. I just finished my master's degree in Evolutionary Biology at the RUG, and I'm a freelance photographer. I've been travelling around for studies and working for the last 6 years or so. I love taking pictures of animals (and people) as well, trying to get their personalities in the photo. I can share some of those if you'd like. I also love learning about animal behaviour. I'm currently working a full time job remotely. I take lots of breaks and like to start with strong activity in the morning, and very active breaks. On weekends or evenings I like to go hiking. I basically hang out with the dogs or cats all day, and we interact a lot. I find that helps to bond quickly, and I get to see more aspects of their personality.

Over: Sinds kleins af aan altijd dol geweest op honden en honden uitgelaten. Ik pas nu vaker op een hond van een vriend. Ik vind het leuk om te wandelen, rennen, en een hond in mijn omgeving te hebben. Ik werk onregelmatig en kan op verschillende momenten oppassen, wandelen, alles in overleg. Ik ben erg flexibel en ben makkelijk in communicatie. Ik werk zowel dag, avond als nachtdiensten. Ik woon in een Stadse omgeving maar vind het leuk om het groen op te zoeken voor een korte- en lange wandeling. Als de hond zijn energie kwijt moet kan ik bijv. ook gaan hardlopen. Ik ben netjes en respectvol met de spullen van een ander.

Over: I’ve been having pets since 5, love animals in general and usually I’m good with them. Currently studying psychology in RUG and have some free time to walk or babysit pets:) I’m currently in school doing psychology program. I’m free after Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm, weekends are usually good if I don’t have travel plans. My top priority is always the safety, comfort, and well-being of the pet. I’ll make sure to follow their routine closely including feeding schedules and amount, allergies, walk and play time, and other specific instructions. Keep the environment clean and give love and attention.

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid in een huis vol met dieren (katten, honden, schapen, paarden etc.) Het omgaan met dieren is met de paplepel ingegoten, en heb daardoor veel ervaring ook met jonge dieren. Ik heb studeer voornamelijk vanuit huis en heb nog een bijvaantje voor 1 dag per week. Dus studeren met een kat op schoot of een hondje bij mijn voeten lijkt mij goed gezelschap. Zelf woon ik in een appartement, dus vind ik dat ik niet de mogelijkheid heb om permanent een huisdier te hebben. Maar gelukkig woon ik vlak naast stadspark waar heerlijk (hard) gelopen kan worden.
