Hondenopvang in Haarlemmerliede en Spaarnwoude

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: 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 come from a family of animal lovers, and we have always kept both dogs and cats. Currently, back in my hometown, our home is happily shared with two Teddy dogs, one Border Collie, and seven cats—three of which I personally rescued as strays. Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs. My practical experience includes assisting in the delivery of two litters of puppies and one litter of kittens, which taught me to handle delicate situations with calmness and care. I also regularly participate in small animal rescue volunteering, further developing my skills in nurturing and rehabilitating animals in need. I am patient, attentive, and have some basic dog training experience. Currently, I am not employed elsewhere, so I have abundant free time to dedicate fully to caring for pets. I am flexible and can adapt to various schedules and routines. My house have a dog-friendly park right in front, a riverside walking path behind my home, and a big yard at home for pets to run around freely. Dogs can roam between the house and the yard—it’s a cozy, happy space for them! Im a full time pet sitter now. So I can provide dogs with extended companionship and offer two long walks daily(at least 45 minutes), once in the morning and once in the evening. Everyday between 2-3pm, I’ll let doggy play freely in our 90 square meter yard. Any dog can play freely in the house and garden. I will also take care of them according to their habits at home, such as whether they go on the sofa or sleep in the bed with me. I always keep dog treats and wet food on hand for the dogs to eat in limited quantities for free. I also observe the dogs' ears, skin, teeth, diet, and bowel movements and urination every day to make sure they are health. I can also increase the number of walks if dog has special needs.

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’ve grown up with both cats and a dog, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I know how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment and quickly understand what each pet needs to feel comfortable. I recently moved to Beverwijk and work remotely, which means I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. While I don’t have my own pet yet, I truly miss being around animals - so I’d love to walk, play, and spend quality time with yours. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines. Whether your pet enjoys active walks, quiet company, or lots of playtime, I’m happy to adapt and make them feel at home. I’d love to meet your furry friend and take great care of them while you’re away :) I am working a remote job so I will have plenty of time for your small one :) I am very affectionate and ready to take care of any needs your little friend may have. Ready to discuss all your expectations :) I live in a quiet and calm neighborhood which has a lot of parks nearby. My home is also very cozy and animal-friendly :) You are welcome to bring your favorite toys

“Jordan had a wonderful time at Laura’s! I received plenty of updates and fotos from Laura. Definitely recommend!”

“Mijn herder Daylo is een dag bij Marcel geweest. Marcel is een vriendelijke dierenliefhebber die met aandacht en geduld voor je hond zorgt. Ik kreeg regelmatig een update of foto en kon daar niets anders uit opmaken dan dat het goed ging.”

Over: Ik heb als kind zelf altijd honden gehad en ze ook altijd uitgelaten en veel met ze geknuffeld en gespeeld. Zelf hebben wij een chihuahua gehad die hebben we helaas moeten laten inslapen. Maar de liefde voor honden is er nog steeds mijn kindjes zijn ook gek op dieren. Ik werk in de zorg als zzp’er maar werk nooit hele lange uren achter elkaar kom tussen door altijd naar huis. Daarom hoeft de hond nooit langer dan 4 uurtjes alleen te zijn. De kindjes vinden het ook leuk om te helpen met het uitlaten en het borstelen van de hond Ik heb een omheinde Thuin dus de hond kan niet weg lopen. De hond mag bij ons op de bank liggen en op bed liggen

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 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.

“Anna-Maria was very nice and responsive. She gave us updates with pictures. Our dog is usually anxious but she looked relaxed.”

Over: I’ve always taken care of my dog, a cocker spaniel, and I’ve always been a big dog lover. Since I live far from my family, it’s hard for me to have my own dog, so I take care of my friends’ dogs and I love it! I’m available to walk them at any time of the day, and I have no problem with flexible schedules or days I can take care of your pet and walk them several times a day, as I work from home and have more freedom and flexibility. I follow the owner's instructions to know the best times to walk the pet and any other specific requests. I have two small balconies, but since I live right in front of Erasmuspark, I can go there several times a day so your dog can enjoy the surroundings and walk freely. If you prefer that I take care of your pet at your home, I can walk them in their familiar area so they feel more secure.

Over: If you are looking for a patient and trusting sitter for your pets, then I can provide exactly that. You can relax knowing your pets are in a safe and happy environment, with a sitter who has over 10 years of experience taking care of pups from newborn to senior age. I have a very strong connection to dogs and can understand the way they communicate well. I live in an apartment on the Rozengracht with my sister, who is also a dog lover, we do not live with pets. Since I work from home, your pets will have company most of the day, except for the occasional grocery run. And on the occasion I need to leave the house, I always coordinate my schedule with my sister to make sure someone will always be home with your pup. I want to create the most comfortable environment for your pups, so I always make sure they're allowed to explore every corner of the house, they can sleep anywhere they want. I also have a small balcony where (furry) clients have enjoyed some fresh air. Most importantly, as I am far away from my own pet, I will take the utmost care for yours, just like I would my own. My services include at least 3 walks a day, the length varies depending on your pets' needs, which can be up to 45-60 minutes. If suitable for you and your pet, I would be happy to take them out with me for errands or to cafes. I have experience administering oral medicines, do not have any professional training experience, but have trained my own and can adapt to your pets' training needs. Usually I only board one pet at time, so yours will have my full attention! I am head over heels for dogs and will treat yours like family. Your dog will get all the love and attention. I will make sure you stay in the loop with photos and updates of your dog’s time with me. Your pet can roam free around the apartment. There are peddle paths and small parks nearby where they will go on their walks.

Over: I’ve grown up with animals for as long as I can remember. Birds, turtles, fishes, cats, dogs, I’ve seen it all! At the age of 4 I had a dog and a cat after who I looked after and cared deeply for, currently I only have one dog living at my parents house. When I was still there I would look after her, take her on walks, play with her, feed her and more. I would love to be able to do the same here as I no longer live at home, I am caring and responsible and you can count on me to look after your babies! I am currently a student at the university of Amsterdam, this allows me to have a flexible schedule and adapt to your needs. I love doing outdoors activity so I believe taking after an animal would also allow me to do that! I am responsible and will make sure to adapt to the clients needs and demands, making it a safe environment for both the client and its animal. I am reliable and you can trust me to take care of your animals.

“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.”

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.

“Picked up a very happy puppy. He seemed like he had a great time with very sweet and caring people. Thank you”
