Hondenopvang Hilversum

Over: I have 2 dogs of my own and years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Your dog will be coming into a calm, dog-savvy home run by people who genuinely love this - not somewhere treating it as a side hustle. I offer boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, and dog walks in and around Hilversum and the Gooi. I keep numbers small on purpose so that your dog gets real attention, a proper routine, and someone who actually notices if something feels off. I use an intake form with every booking so I know your dog's routine, quirks, health needs, and what they're like with other dogs before anything is confirmed. No surprises for either of us. I am additionally comfortable with senior dogs who need calm over chaos and dogs with specific routines or sensitivities. I ask for: honest answers on the intake form and a quick meet-and-greet before boarding or sitting bookings. Pet care isn't something I fit around a busy schedule, it is the priority when I have a booking. I work from home, which means dogs in my care aren't left alone for long stretches during the day. Walks, feeding, rest, and outdoor time follow your dog's natural routine as closely as possible, not mine. I keep bookings small so I'm never stretched across too many dogs at once. My home is calm, dog-proofed, and already shared with 2 dogs of my own, so incoming dogs arrive into a settled environment. Before any boarding or sitting booking I use a detailed intake form covering health, behavior, feeding, and emergency contacts, plus a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I use a signed agreement with every client. If something feels off with a dog during a stay such as appetite, energy, behavior, I notice and I communicate that. Owners hear from me with updates; they don't have to chase me for them.

Over: Regelmatig passen we op honden uit de buurt, laten we ze uit of blijft er eentje paar nachten bij ons thuis. Altijd maar 1 hond gelijkertijd die veel liefde en aandacht krijgt van onze twee tiener zonen (10 en 13). We wonen gelijkvloers met tuin. We wonen direct naast een bos en dus is een mooie wandeling snel van start. Met twee schoolgaande kinderen is er door altijd iemand bij ons thuis. Vader werkt aan huis en kinderen geven tijdens vakanties en na school graag veel liefde en aandacht aan de hond waar we op passen. We passen graag op een hond bij ons thuis om rust te behouden en aandacht te kunnen geven. Waarbij hij/zij zijn vertouwde eigen spullen mee kan nemen. We wonen gelijkvloers met ruime tuin.

Over: I've had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. We have our own much-loved dog, Oskar, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. We are a warm, affectionate family and will treat your dog like one of our own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime and cuddles in a safe, caring home. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home three days a week, and on the other two days my partner, Will, works from home, so there is always someone at home to provide company, care and attention. We have a 10-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Oskar, who is a much-loved member of our family. He enjoys two walks a day, along with additional toilet breaks whenever needed, so any dogs staying with us will be part of our regular routine. We understand the importance of exercise, companionship and maintaining a dog's usual schedule, and we'll ensure your pet feels safe, happy and well cared for throughout their stay. We follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication and any specific care instructions. Our home is clean, pet-friendly and ideal for dogs who enjoy companionship and affection. We have a gentle 10-year-old English Springer Spaniel, Oskar, who is very used to other dogs. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, as either I or my partner works from home each day. I will always keep owners updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and having a wonderful time.

Over: Ik neem de tijd om het gedrag en voorkeuren van jouw huisdier te leren kennen en stem de wandelingen en oppasmomenten daarop af. Baasjes kunnen rekenen op duidelijke communicatie en regelmatige updates, zodat je altijd met een gerust hart weet hoe het met je maatje gaat. Met mijn enthousiasme, geduld en liefde voor dieren zorg ik voor een veilige én leuke ervaring, elke keer opnieuw. Momenteel heb ik een flexibel leven, ik heb weinig tot geen vaste verplichtingen gedurende de week. Wegens meerdere enkeloperaties heb ik afscheid moeten nemen van mijn hockeycarriere en dus vaste verplichtingen gedurende de avonden en weekenden. Wel werk ik fulltime maar is de mogelijkheid daar om thuis te werken. Voor mijn werk moet ik af en toe wel eens naar een klant of kantoor, het kan dus voorkomen dat het huisdier een ochtend of middag alleen is. Ik zorg voor genoeg aandacht, speeltijd en knuffels, maar ook voor rust wanneer dat nodig is. Uiteraard let ik goed op voeding, water en eventuele speciale verzorging die belangrijk is voor jouw huisdier. Jouw viervoeter krijgt bij mij de zorg en liefde alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is.

“She was incredibly sweet and attentive, always keeping me updated. Zeca felt completely comfortable and happy with her! I loved everything about the experience and highly recommend her.”

“Laura en Sebastián zijn hele lieve oppassers. Poppie voelde zich heel erg thuis. Ik zag ook de genegenheid van beide naar Poppie toe. Zou Poppie zo weer brengen.”

Alexandra P.

“Agata and Sebastian took wonderful care of Fuzzy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They kept us updated regularly with lovely messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the updates that Fuzzy was comfortable, happy, and was getting lots of love and affection. They were very attentive to his needs, especially when he was not eating normally at first, and even went the extra mile to help him feel comfortable. We really appreciated how caring, responsible, and thoughtful they were throughout. Fuzzy came back relaxed and happy, which says everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind and reliable sitters.”

“Ontzettend fijne mensen met een grote liefde voor dieren. Onze Golden Retriever heeft een heerlijk weekend gehad en kwam blij en uitgerust weer bij ons thuis. Er wordt erg zorgvuldig gezorgd en leuke foto's werden gedeeld gedurende de opvang. Ik kan iedereen aanbevelen om hier je viervoeter tijdelijke te laten logeren.”

Maurits H.

“This was the first time we use the services and I must say we are 100% satisfied. We left our babies and I felt like the most nervous mother who just left her children for the first time at pre school. I was nervous and emotional. Vatsala was amazing. We got updates and photos. Vatsala has been patient and answered all our questions. She has helped us feel comfortable knowing our babies are well cared for. If you are looking for a sitter Vatsala is the best you could ever get”

Over: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but after my divorce, I no longer have a pet of my own. I really miss having dogs around, which is why I’d love the opportunity to take care of yours. I can take care of your dog on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. I am caring, reliable, and well-organized. I have had dogs my whole life and really enjoy spending time with them. I live in a three-room apartment on the third floor, with heating and cooling. There is a large yard and a wooded area right next to the building.

Over: Many of my friends and neighbours come to me for pet sitting - dogs and cats. I send them pictures every day, and the owners often say that their pets look so happy with me!! I'm gentle while firm, and will help your little animal stick to the rules and training, while giving them so much love that they deserve. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets. I work from home fully, so very flexible with my schedule and open to adapting to the needs of your little one. A typical schedule - 08:00 - a morning leg stretch; 12:00 - a bit of running in the neighbourhood park; 18:00 - a digestive walk to the lush dog park; 22:00 - a chill evening stroll. I have a big enough apartment for 3~5 animals, and they'll have plenty of space to run around! Your little animal will be allowed on furniture and the whole apartment, but not on the bed

“Nastia was great! She was very professional, looked very well after our little one and made sure we were updated at any time. We could not have wished for anything more! ❤️”

Vivienne R.

“Christiane was absolutely amazing for Nusa! She took fantastic care, brought her multiple times to the park, played with her and constantly sent me updates of how she was doing! I really really recommend her 🥰”

Mare A.

“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.”

“Marcela was great! Woody seems to have loved staying with them. Usually he's very picky with food but seems to have eaten well during his stay, which is a great sign. Communication was great, and I got a lot of happy photos.”

Tiago V.

“Maria looked after Nelson for the weekend and kept me updated the entire time. Whenever I’m going on holidays or a short break she is my go-to choice. Nelson really likes her and I feel comfortable knowing she’ll treat him like her own.”

Over: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16, including help with street cats’ delivering. I also took care of indoor cats and dogs from friends, family and colleagues. Currently my boyfriend and I have a two-year old Maine Coon and three chinchillas (4+yr) at home. Most of time I work from home so it’s convenient for me to spend time with the little ones. I’m very patient, trustful and friendly with pets. I’m currently working from home except every Wednesday , so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2pm. I also don’t mind early mornings or evening visits if needed. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day, so I’m always happy to fit them into my routine! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a bright living room where cats and dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly, well-socialized cat who love making new friends. If your pet prefers their own space, I can absolutely crate them or keep them separated when needed. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and stress-free at all time!

“Eaton had a wonderful time with Huan’s family while we were away on our summer holiday. We received photos and videos every day, which was such a lovely way to stay connected and see how happy and comfortable he was. When we picked Eaton up, it was clear that he truly felt at home and had grown very fond of his temporary family. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness, care, and love they showed our pet. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Eaton! We’ll definitely stay in touch and hope to come back to you for future trips. ❤️”

“It was such a relief to meet Christa! To find her such a lovely and responsible person, I could absolutely trust her with my dog. He’s quite a tough dog to handle with lots of precautions, but she was perfectly able to deal with him and fully respected all my rules with discipline. They got along very well, and I was impressed - especially it was my first time ever to leave my dog with a stranger. Christa was also easy to communicate with, responsive, sent me updates and was flexible. I will go exclusive from here on out!”

Nour S.

“Olivia & Caleb were fantastic sitters for my 1 yo Frenchie Stella! They sent frequent updates (including photos & videos!), and were quick to respond whenever I reached out. Stella came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend them!”
