Hondenopvang in 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: I’ve volunteered at a local animal rescue and worked as a pet sitter, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, litter cleaning, and giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic dog, or a senior pet needing special attention, I always make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. My goal is to make every pet as happy and comfortable as if they were at home. I moved to the Netherlands less than a year ago and am currently taking time to explore life and do what I truly love — caring for animals. Since I’m not working full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they need throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my 9-year-old cat, who is calm and friendly with both cats and dogs. My home is safe, clean, and cozy — perfect for pets to relax and feel at ease. I always make sure windows and doors are secure, and that the space is free from anything that could harm curious paws. When I care for pets at my clients’ homes, I follow their routines carefully and keep everything as familiar as possible. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and safe.

Over: Na mijn persoonlijke reis met mijn puppy die ik heb grootgebracht en getraind ben ik mijn liefde voor honden en andere dieren alleen maar meer gaan waarderen. Door mijn eigen ervaringen heb ik geleerd hoeveel rust, vertrouwen en geluk dieren kunnen brengen. Ik bied honden en katten een warm en liefdevol thuis in mijn fijne huis, omringd door natuur. Met rust, aandacht en fijne wandelingen midden in de natuur, langs bossen, vijvers en de duinen. In mijn grote afgesloten tuin en speciaal ingerichte kamer kunnen zij veilig ontspannen, spelen en genieten van alle aandacht die zij nodig hebben. Ik vind het belangrijk dat dieren zich veilig, rustig en vertrouwd voelen. Daarom kijk ik goed naar hun behoeften en geef ik ieder dier persoonlijke aandacht. De aanwezigheid van honden mis ik enorm en daarom geef ik honden en katten met veel liefde, geduld en aandacht een warm thuis. Missschien tot snel! 😊 Ik werk voornamelijk vanuit huis, waardoor de verzorging van huisdieren perfect in mijn dagelijkse routine past. Mijn dagen kan ik flexibel indelen zodat er voldoende tijd is voor uitlaten, spelen, rustmomenten en persoonlijke aandacht. Daarnaast maak ik graag wandelingen in de dichtbijgelegen bossen en prachtige duinen, zodat honden voldoende beweging, frisse lucht en ontspanning krijgen. Ik verzorg huisdieren in een rustige, veilige en huiselijke omgeving met veel persoonlijke aandacht. In mijn ruime huis en omheinde tuin kunnen honden vrij rennen, spelen en ontspannen. Daarnaast heb ik twee aparte kamers ingericht: één voor honden met matten en speeltjes, en één voor katten met een speel- en klimhoek waar zij zich veilig kunnen terugtrekken. Meerdere keren per dag maken we fijne wandelingen en tussendoor zijn er voldoende rustmomenten, zodat dieren zich ontspannen en vertrouwd kunnen voelen.

Over: Sinds ik jong ben ben ik omringt geweest met dieren. Ik wil graag de dieren extra liefde en aandacht geven en de baasjes rust . Ik woon alleen en ik werk niet. Ik ben vaak alleen en altijd thuis. Dus ik heb genoeg tijd om wandelingen te maken of aandacht te geven. Ik heb zelf een balkon en beneden een grote tuin. Er is ook veel natuur waar ik grote wandelingen kan maken. Het is allemaal mogelijk

Over: Dogs are part of both my childhood and my adulthood. I miss my family dog and would love to give a helping hand. 
I grew up with malinois dogs and have experience with dogs of bigger sizes. But I also have experience with dachshund and smaller breads. I have followed puppy training classes and am used to handling stressed or agitated dogs. I believe the key is to stimulate them as much as they need, and make sure they are active, whether through long walks or playing games. 
 In case of emergency, you can expect me to contact you directly and take all necessary actions promptly, as the platforms facilitates. I have a car and can transport your pet safely in case of emergency.
 About me: I’ve recently finished my studies and have some time to take care of your babies. I live in a cosy apartment and have a dedicated spot for doggies in my living room. My building has an elevator so it's friendly to older dogs as well.
 I am an active person. I will play with your dog, go on long walks, change their water, feed them, take them with outside, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside couple hours or so depending on age. Even better, I live next to a big park, perfect for walks and games.
 I don't have a breed preference or a size preference. I prefer kind dogs that are social with other dogs and used to spending time both inside and outside.

 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! I am a post-graduate having a part-time job for a while. I am flexible with my schedule, no day looks exactly the same, I decide what I do. I like to go on long walks daily and am an active person. I play with them, go on walks, change their water, feed them, cuddle when wanted. I have a designated space for (small) dogs in my apartment, next to my tv which is in my living room. I include the dogs in my environment/routine, and go outside every couple hours or so depending on age.

“Maria is extraordinarily kind and communicative and took great care of my rescue Costa for the day. It’s obvious she provides a safe and stable place for dogs with difficulties because there were none despite Costa being in a brand new environment at her home. She kept me posted and is consistently polite and I can’t wait to trust her again with sitting my Costa.”

Over: I have a dog and I know how difficult could be to find a correct person for him, that's why I treat each pet in the same way I want people to treat my best friend, I have lost of free time and a beautiful, save house with enough space to give love, cuddles and happiness to your best friend!!! Actually Im working at home and your pet will be all time with me, I have enough time to walk in the park, play with them. Also we can spend time in the garden while I'm working so they won't be never bored. I will be all the time next to them, the garden and house is 100% save and always they will be on the lead if we are outside or open places. U will receive pics and videos whenever u need it.

Over: /Nederlands hieronder/ * I love taking pics so I’ll be sharing lovely moments with you;) * I stay at home with my partner most of time so your loved ones won’t feel bored for sure! *Sitter Pick-up & Drop-off available Let’s get to know me: Hi, I’m Ting! I’m originally from Taiwan and moved to Amsterdam in 2022. I currently live with my Dutch partner in a one-bedroom cozy spacious apartment, and we both love animals! We work/study from home most of the time, so we’d love to have some furry company—and offer your dog a warm, calm environment with plenty of attention. Being a pet sitter lets me share my love for animals while giving them the care and companionship they need when you’re away. - *Ik maak graag foto’s, dus ik zal de leuke momenten met je delen ;) *Ik ben meestal thuis met mijn partner, dus je lieveling zal zich zeker niet vervelen! *Ophalen en terugbrengen door de oppas beschikbaar Even voorstellen: Hoi, ik ben Ting! Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Taiwan en ben in 2022 naar Amsterdam verhuisd. Ik woon samen met mijn Nederlandse partner in een gezellige en ruime eenkamerappartement, en we zijn allebei dol op dieren! We werken/studeren meestal vanuit huis, dus we vinden het heerlijk om gezelschap van een viervoeter te hebben—en bieden je hond een warme, rustige omgeving met veel aandacht. Als dierenoppas kan ik mijn liefde voor dieren delen en ze de zorg en het gezelschap geven die ze verdienen als jij er even niet bent. My partner and I are both students at the moment, so our schedules are very flexible and we spend most of our time at home studying or working on assignments. This means we have plenty of time to be with your fur baby and give them lots of attention, care, and companionship! We care for pets in a safe, calm, and clean environment, either in our home or the owner’s home. We follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets are always supervised during playtime and walks, never left alone for long. We also carefully follow any instructions from the owner to ensure the best care.

“Buddy is meestal wat terughoudend bij nieuwe mensen, maar was hier snel op zn plek. Na een meet en greet bezoek was hij heel enthousiast toen we er weer langskwamen. Top”

“Adoring couple, who sitted my dog repeatedly. A lot of tail wagging involved on seeing them again! Very flexible and helpful! Highly recommended!”

Over: Since I was little I've cared for dogs, both big and small, and their puppy litters and I've also fostered stray puppies we've found and given them a safe home. Currently I have 2 lovely dogs (one Rhodesian ridgeback and 1 local breed) and 3 cats at home back in Tanzania with my parents. I'm a student taking a gap year before i enter university while also redoing some of my examinations, so I have ALOT of extra time on my schedule everyday. While I'm not studying Rover is an opportunity for me to mix my love for animals while keeping myself busy and exploring new areas of Utrecht that I have yet to see ( AND taking cute pets on walks because who wouldn't want that??!) i dont have any pets living with me at the moment since im in a new country but usually at home my pets are very free around the house as they're behaved fairly well and i take my dogs on regular walks and hang out with both my cats and dogs like i would with my own best friend.

Over: Altijd honden gehad maar ik heb nu geen tuin en vond dat een probleem. Masr ik ben gek op lang en veel eandelen en spelen met dr hond. Momenteel werk ik partime vanaf einde middag. Ik kan wandelen en oppassen op alle dagen van de week na 16.00 en in het weekend op hele dagen. Ik ga met de hond op stap na mooie bossen rond Utrecht. Verder lekker spelen met een bal al hij / zij dat leuk vind . Alles met mijn eigen auto.

Over: I am obsessed with dogs particularly rescues. I rescued my tripaw Odin 14 years ago from a river in Spain. I travelled the world with him (25+ countries) and trained him to be the best companion. He sadly passed in November 2025. I rescued Nuri two years ago and she is the happiest bundle of joy. She is just full of love and happiness. We look forward to welcome your lovely furr babies into our amazing home. I am self employed with my own companies. I work from home and I train every day but i own my schedule. The dogs are always with me, or if they are left at home it's only for a few hours where they can relax on the ultra comfy sofas. I have a very big fenced garden and huge comfy sofas. I live out of the city but easily accessible. I have two dogs in the house. One senior and one young.

Over: I've taken care of cats for 11 years, and can care for senior/sick cats too! Having grown up with two cats at home, I am used to feeding, grooming, toilet-training, medication-giving, and other tasks catering cats from babies to elderlies. I have two cats back in my hometown, but in my current place of residence (where your cats will be hosted if you request boarding), there are no pets. So feel free to request boarding even if your pet is shy! I'm currently between jobs, so I am home almost fulltime other than a few hours out a day. Therefore I can pay full attention and love for your cats if necessary. If your pets need vitamins or medications, I am comfortable and experienced with mixing it into their food or feeding them directly. I can tend to all of their needs, so feel free to detail your cat's personalities and preferences!

Over: I've taken care of my family dog since I was 14, and later I got a beautiful cat named April. In the past years, I regularly sat with my friend's cats and dogs when they traveled, and helped with neighbors' pets too. I love and care deeply about pets and always take the best care of them, so you can be sure your pet will be in the best hands. I'm currently working part-time and working from home. My schedule is very flexible, and I am free on weekends. I can also stay overnight or on holidays if needed. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is safe and has enough space for both cats and dogs to play! I can also arrange a dedicated area for toys and sleep/bed.

“Pablo is een fantastische oppas! Hij was erg lief naar mijn hond en heeft me meerdere keren updates gestuurd met foto’s en filmpjes. Hij heeft een ruime woning met genoeg ruimte voor mijn hond om rond te lopen. Zijn vriendin en hij waren de hele dag thuis dus er was continu iemand om Bowser gezelschap te houden. Ik raad Pablo zeker aan!”

Over: I grew up with pets (dogs and rodents) and have taken care of pets practically my whole life. 5 years ago, I took a wonderful boy called Charlie home from the shelter (you can see him in all of my pictures). He was already a bit older, and I was lucky to have him by my side for 4.5 years until he sadly passed away last October. I have a big heart for animals, and therefore miss taking care of a hairy friend! I have experience with taking care of both small and larger dogs, as well as senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I recently started a PhD and am therefore not home during work days (mo-fr). This is why I currently am not in the position of adopting a dog myself, but would love to take care of dogs on the weekends when I am home. When taking care of a dog I adjust my routine to meet the needs of the dog. I try to suit the needs of the animal and respect their boundaries. If they prefer to be lazy or alone, I give them space, if they prefer interaction and play, I give them attention. I feed them and walk them as agreed with the owner.

Over: Having raised my own dogs, and lovingly walking my neighbors' dogs have always been my biggest joy. I will care for your furry family member with the exact same devotion, warmth, and gentle attention I give to my own Since I manage my property back in Barcelona, my days are completely flexible. In my free time, I love dancing, exploring the city, and cooking cozy meals at home. Your pet will have my full attention and plenty of warm, peaceful company Located in peaceful IJburg, my apartment offers beautiful harbor views. The area is a quiet residential haven with plenty of dedicated dog parks nearby, ensuring your pet will enjoy both a cozy home and wonderful walks

“My pup gets so excited to go over to Stefanie and Sam! They clearly take great care of him and are very attentive to him. We are grateful to them!”

“Marubenys looked after my dog Léo yesterday and everything went really well! She was very caring and gentle with him, and he came back relaxed and happy. I highly recommend her; you can really tell she loves animals and that they are in good hands ☺️”
