Hondenoppas in Haarlem

Over: Als kind vond ik het fantastisch om elke dag het hondje van de buren uit te laten. Als de buren op vakantie gingen was het hondje een paar weken bij ons. Aangezien ik nooit huisdieren van mijn ouders mocht, zocht ik de dierenliefde op deze manier op. Aangezien ik op dit moment nog steeds geen hond heb, vind ik het leuk om op jouw lieve dier te passen! Ik vind het leuk om met honden te spelen, te knuffelen en goede wandelingen te maken. Ik werk als adviseur, waarbij ik veel vanuit huis werk. Ik kan dit werk overal doen, waardoor ik veel tijd heb om jouw hond gezelschap te geven en veel aandacht. Ik verzorg uw hond precies naar de regels en de gewoontes die hij of zij is gewend, aangezien ik uw regels en gewoontes letterlijk overneem. Zo is er duidelijkheid en rust bij zowel u als baasje en uw hond, en ook bij mij.

“Thomas and Anna were so caring with Kulfi - we got frequent updates about all their adventures together! She seemed to feel right at home with them! Would recommend ?”

Over: We are new to this website, but we have done a lot of petsitting for our families and friends in the past, especially cats and dogs. We also have been using a different platform where we do house and pet sitting abroad. We would diligently follow instructions where pet behaviour, diet, characteristics, medication, rules, training and routines are concerned. We would send daily updates, with photos and videos, to let you know how things are going :) We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We understand that trusting strangers to look after your much loved pets can be rather daunting, therefore we hope that by communicating with us, any existing worries or doubts can be eliminated :) Because we both mostly work from home and have flexible schedules, pet care fits easily into our daily routine. One of us is almost always at home, so pets are rarely left alone. We plan our days around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, and we can easily adapt to special needs, medication, or extra attention when required. We provide a calm, safe, and loving home where pets can follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. We give plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s personality, and because we’re often at home, pets are rarely left alone. We also send regular updates with photos and messages.

“We left our senior labrador at Oriol's place for a one‑night trial, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They provided exactly what we needed: a calm, quiet environment with no other pets, and they took great care of our dog. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such attentive and gentle hands. We will for sure book again in the future !”

Over: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for most of my life, now looking to get back into caring for others pets in Haarlem. I bring a calm approach and household ensuring your pet is stress-free. I’m currently searching for jobs so my schedule will prioritize any pet sitting arrangements, therefore there is plenty of time and attention to your pets provided. I live in a spacious apartment with a private outdoor area perfect for shy pets who want a walk without feeling overwhelmed by the outdoors.

Over: Onze 4 jarige reu Monti is opzoek naar een speel kameraad voor af en toe. Heb jij een (mops)hond en wil je een nachtje weg of moet je naar het werk en zoek je oppas? Breng hem of haar dan heel graag langs bij ons :) Monti kan goed met kleine rassen liefst gesteriliseerde teefjes of gecastreerde reuen. Ik werk elke dinsdag en om de week op vrijdag thuis en kan jouw Mopshond uitlaten. Donderdag is evtl ook een optie. Als we er in het weekend zijn is hij/haar ook van harte welkom! Ik heb mijn heel leven al honden. We bieden een vertrouwde en veilige omgeving waarin jouw regels gelden. Monti past zich aan aan zijn of haar speelkamaraad.

“Todo genial!!mi perrete estuvo como en casa con ella, y yo al corriente de todo, ya que Sandy me mandaba fotos y me iba informando continuamente. Volveré a repetir seguro!”

“Anastasia is a wonderful sitter and I highly recommend considering to book her as your sitter. She was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog that comes with special medical needs. Anastasia asked all the right questions and was very eager to provide the best care possible. She fully succeeded and I could tell my dog was very comfortable in her home. Anastasia is easy to communicate with, trustworthy, responds quickly, has a neat and tidy home, and is overall a lovely person. 5 star review, 100% would book again.”

Over: I've had dogs all my life, however in the past 15 years I have focused on senior pet rescue, foster, and hospice. One of our dogs even had a pace maker! I have extensive experience in medication administration and a deep love for all animals. Right now we have a senior toothless chihuahua which is why we limit the size of pets we take in our home. However, if you have a large dog that is older extremely gentle and mild mannered we can discuss having our dogs meet and exceptions can be made. I would also consider a 2nd dog from the same household. Between my husband and I one of us is always home with our senior so no one will be left unattended. If I am coming to your pet I accept everyone and adapt to your pets individual needs and environment. The environment we provide is calm, safe, comfortable, and quiet with constant supervision. Pets are allowed on the furniture with pet stairs and blankets provided. If I am coming to your home I adapt to your pets needs and environment to keep it as routine as possible for them.

“Bishoy is a very nice and kind person who took care of my kitten very well and concerned about his feelings. Strongly recommended 💯”

Over: Hey, I’m Cam, artist, cat mum, and part-time animal translator (tho I cannot share what I'm told). I offer walks, pet sitting, boarding, drop-ins, play time, pee breaks, the whole deal. I live in Haarlem with my judgmental but very cute cat Spencer, and regularly care for my parents' 2 cats and dog in Heemstede. Important note: My appartment is only accessible with stairs. I’ve looked after anxious rescues (all of my pets growing up, including a bunny and frogs, were rescues), hyper puppies, aloof old cats, and pets with meds or weird habits. I adapt to the animal, not the other way around. Your furry fam sets the vibe, I just roll with it. I work remotely most days, don’t smoke, and I’m not secretly trying to become a dog or cat influencer. I send honest updates, treat your house with respect, and make sure your pet feels safe, stimulated, and not lonely while you’re gone. Basically: I’m the sitter I’d want for Spencer. It is important for me to always set clear expectations on both ends of what pet cares means to you. I am happy to discuss special circumstances for your pet and find an arrangement that suits their care the best. Let’s do a meet & greet. If your pet doesn’t like me, I’ll take the L. Important Notice for housesitting - constant care (if your pet can never be left alone or not for longer than 1h for example) must be agreed upon in advance with sufficient lead time and for a for a higher fee. I am not always able to accomodate for constant care. I work oftent remotely and have a flexible schedule, so your pet won’t be left waiting for food, love, or attention. I’m based in Haarlem, happy to do local walks or drop-ins. Just message me and we’ll figure it out. Your pet’s safety comes first, always. I’m respectful of boundaries (yours and your pet’s), and I’ll follow your instructions to the letter. I’ll send you honest updates, cute pics included, and make sure your pet feels safe, stimulated, and not bored out of their mind while you’re away. Some important info before you book: Special care/medical care - must be agreed upon in advance depending on the level of additional care, I may ask for a for a higher fee. Boarding, Daycare, Housesitting - constant care (if your pet can never be left alone or not for longer than 1h for example) must be agreed upon in advance with sufficient lead time and for a for a higher fee. I am not always able to accommodate constant care.

“Goede oppas voor de katjes. Ze zijn mrt veel liefde verzorgd”

“Stephanie was great with Copito! She was very responsive and sent me pictures of Copito while I was away. Copito was very happy and comfortable with her.”

“In one word: Amazing! Our little dog Nitro had a fantastic stay at Tripti’s during our X-mas holiday abroad. Tripti informed us daily with several video’s and photos so we could see how Nitro was doing. Nitro was cuttled lots and was spoiled with homemade food, lovely walks and snacks. Thank you Tripti for his wonderful stay. You really took away our worries of leaving him behind as Nitro doesn’t like to travel. Like Nitro, we also had a great holiday, thanks to you. Next time we will definitely call you again. You are the best! ❤️”

“Hele fijne ervaring gehad met Esmee. Goed en uitgebreid contact gehad vooraf; ze wil goed voorbereid zijn. Opvang heel soepel verlopen; leuke dingen met de hond gedaan en fijn wat updates gestuurd over hoe het gaat. Kan Esmee dus zeker aanbevelen.”

Over: Ik ben Iris, 34 jaar, en heb vanaf jongs af aan verschillende huisdieren gehad. Sinds 2 jaar hebben wij (ik, en mijn twee kinderen van 7 en 5) nu een lieve poes. In het verleden heb ik regelmatig op verschillende hondjes gepast. Met veel liefde verzorg ik jouw huisdier, geef ze te eten en speel met ze. Ik vind het leuk om te wandelen en ga graag naar het strand of naar het bos. Op dit moment werk ik part-time en ik werk dagelijks vanuit huis, genoeg ruimte en tijd om voor jouw huisdier te zorgen, te knuffelen en lekker te wandelen dus:) Ik heb een omheinde tuin, geef de dieren de ruimte wanneer ze dat nodig hebben. We volgen het ritme en wensen die ze thuis gewend zijn. De hond mag vrij rondlopen in huis en de tuin.

Over: Your pet is welcome to spend some time at my place, he/she will have a lot of attention, love and cuddles. I have been working as petsitter for 4 years, taking care of cats and dogs, and also had dogs for my whole life my Brazil. My only work is with pets, so they have my attention the whole day. I live with my husband and our two daughters, 4 and 15 years old, but they have their own routine so I will be the only one taking care of your pet. I am always at home when hosting a dog, so your pet won't feel alone. The house has a medium size backyard, fully fenced, where your pet can play. The neighbourhood offers a lot of options for beautiful and enjoyable walks.

Over: I have extensive experience caring for pets, especially dogs and cats. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person, and I treat every animal with love and respect. I can help with walking, feeding, playing, and giving attention, so your pet feels safe and happy. I understand how important routine is and I always carefully follow the owner’s instructions. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I am available on weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. I make sure to organize my routine so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily life because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and maintain a calm, loving, and clean environment. During walks, I ensure pets are always secure and supervised. At home, I provide a comfortable and stress-free space where they feel safe and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

“It was the first time we had someone look after our dog, who our dog was not familiar with, but all went very well. During the day we got photos and updates from Johan. Communication was perfect. He replied quickly to messages and was very flexible. We would definitely book him again. Thank you Johan!”

“Very happy with Emmy! She took care of my dog like it would be her own. Super! Thank you so much, Emmy! ♥️♥️♥️”
