Hondenopvang in Haarlem

Over: Ik kan erg goed omgaan met dieren, omdat ik zelf al heel mijn leven huisdieren heb.
Op dit moment heb ik drie katten en een vogel, maar vroeger ook cavia’s en konijnen gehad. Honden heb ik nu zelf niet, maar in de toekomst zou ik graag wel een hond willen. Ik heb daarentegen wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden, omdat vrienden en familie wel honden hebben. Of het nu gaat om katten knuffelen, een vogel verzorgen of met een hond wandelen, ik doe het allemaal graag met plezier en liefde. Uw huisdier is in goede handen bij mij. Ik heb op dit moment werk, maar ik ben erg goed in plannen! Samen kunnen we vast een geschikt moment vinden voor één van mijn aangeboden services. Ik heb zelf 3 katten en een vogel. Ik heb geen hond, maar ik heb wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden. Ik ben erg zorgzaam en kan goed opletten.

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 dogs. Right now we have a senior toothless chihuahua which is why we limit the size of pets we take. 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. 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.

Over: I am an experienced and committed dog carer with many years of hands-on experience looking after multiple dogs, in addition to my own two white Japanese Spitz dogs. What sets me apart is the combination of a calm, home-based environment, plenty of outdoor time, and constant human company. I live next to a beautiful park and offer long, enriching walks, including off-lead time when safe and appropriate. I focus not only on physical exercise but also on mental stimulation through games, interaction, and routine. Because I work from home, dogs are never left alone and receive consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As I work from home, my schedule is fully flexible and centred around the dogs’ needs. Each day includes multiple walks, playtime, feeding, rest, and one-on-one attention. For dogs staying overnight, I provide four walks per day, regular play sessions, and structured routines that help dogs feel safe and relaxed. Caring for dogs is not something I fit around my day — it is my day. In my home in Haarlem, just five minutes from the train station, dogs stay in a calm, friendly household with a small garden and immediate access to a park. I provide a safe, clean environment, personalised care based on each dog’s needs, long walks, mental stimulation, and companionship from both myself and my two gentle female dogs, Coco and Lulu. Dogs are treated as part of the family, with plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. If caring for a dog in the owner’s home, I follow the dog’s established routine as closely as possible, ensuring continuity in feeding, walking, and comfort, while providing the same level of care, attention, and reliability.

Over: Your dog or cat will be in safe, loving hands and get all my attention. I'm Sarah and I'm from France. I live in a quiet flat in Haarlem without kids or other pets, so it’s a calm space where your pet can feel relaxed and at home. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have looked after dogs and cats since I was a kid. Building trust with them means a lot to me, and I know it takes time, patience, and consistency. I really enjoy hanging out with animals playing, cuddling, going for walks, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I stick to the same rules and routines you’ve set, so your pet stays comfortable and everything feels familiar. Dogs and cats need someone they can trust and someone you can trust too. I’d love to be that person for you and your furry friend. I work part-time in a restaurant and rarely after 3pm. So I have a lot of time to take care of your dog or cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in their familiar environment, I always focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my home, I create a calm and cozy space with no other pets or children, so your dog gets my full attention. I stick closely to the routine you’ve shared whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, or rest so your pet feels right at home. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you know how your furry friend is doing. No matter where I care for them, I treat every pet like my own with patience and affection.

Over: I grew up with dogs at home, so I understand them very well. For the past few years, I have been pet sitting for different people and in different parts of the world. I love going for walks and giving pets the attention they need. Your dog will be in safe and happy hands with me! The area I live is surrounded with nature :) I speak English and Dutch. I work remotely as a freelancer and manage my own hours. This makes me very flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs both inside and outside the house. I have a large, fully fenced yard where your dog can run and play safely. Since I do not have any pets of my own, your dog will receive my full attention and have the entire space to themselves. I am very careful with safety and will always make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure in my home.

“Took great care of my terrier while the family explored Montréal on our road trip sending lots of pics and keeping him away from the overconfident squirrels in the park nearby”

“I took my dog, Frenkie, to Iris. She is just amazing. I was a bit nervous about bringing my dog to a carer but Iris is wonderfully calm and serene. She reassured me at every step. She sent beautiful photos of Frenkie throughout her stay. Frenkie is a a very energetic dog but Iris was so good with her. I can highly recommend Iris.”

“Watson and Enola had the best time with their second Mommy (Anastasia)! They must have had a total blast as they are all their food and went to bed immediately! Thank you Anastasia for always giving the greatest care! ❤️”

Over: Hi! I’m Zuza - a software developer in my 30s, working from home most of the week, which gives me lots of flexibility and time to look after pets 🐾. Animals and nature have always been a huge passion of mine - I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs & cats, as well as birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs at times, and now share my home in Haarlem with two lovely rescue cats. As a sitter, I’m responsible, adaptable, and attentive to the different needs and personalities pets can have 🐶🐱. I’ll make sure your companion feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with daily pictures and messages 📸. Your pet’s well-being will always be my priority! I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care 🐾. I usually go into the office only twice a week (typically Wednesdays and Thursdays), but even that schedule can be adapted if needed. This means I’m around and available to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to keep a safe and pet-proofed environment, especially for indoor-only animals. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow the routines that keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ll strictly stick to any feeding or medication schedules you set out, and when it comes to dogs, I’ll carefully follow your instructions on how to handle them in public to make sure they’re safe and comfortable on every walk 🐕. Trust and consistency are key, and I’ll make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away.

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: Hi! My name is Tripti, I am 40 years old. I'm a responsible, caring animal lover based in Amsterdam. I've always had a deep connection with animals, especially dogs. I was the proud owner of a Labrador named Tuffy, who was with me for 14 wonderful years. Taking care of him through every stage of his life gave me first-hand experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing senior care. As a pet sitter, I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to your furry family member. Whether it's regular walks, feeding, companionship, or just some extra cuddles while you're away, I ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet — I've been there myself. I'd be honored to care for yours as if they were my own. I am currently not working, so I have ample time to give care, love, and cuddles pet who boards with me :) Looking forward to connecting soon. Thank you, Pet at my home will be treated as my own. I love playing with pets and have a lot of space at home where they can run and play. There is a nice forest which is just 5 5-minute walk from my apartment, where pets love to run around and even sometimes socialize with other pets.

Over: I’ve had dogs my whole life (and plenty of other pets too)! I feel comfortable and relaxed around dogs, I prefer them to most people I think! I will provide everything your dog could possibly need. I’ve had experience with puppies and training, all the way through to caring for senior dogs and their requirements. I currently have my own dog who needs at least 3 walks a day so your dog will receive exactly the same! I currently work two days a week but, on the days I work, my partner Ross will be at home (I’ve uploaded a photo of the two of us with our dog!) My daily routine completely revolves around my dog and what he needs so I’m also happy to cater to your furry friends needs too! We sometimes have weekend plans but these are normally dog friendly activities too. I have a fenced patio outside that your dog is welcome to wander outside and go to the toilet in. I also have my dog who will keep your friends company too. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our home, so if your dog needs some quiet alone time then they can take themselves off for some piece. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and bed too if they want. We also do have a crate for our dog that we can use if needed.
