Hondenopvang in Hilversum

Over: At Pandu’s BnB, your fur baby becomes part of the family. I keep the group small so each dog gets lots of personal attention, love, and care. I follow their routine closely to make sure they feel right at home—whether they’re full of energy and love playtime or prefer a cozy nap in a quiet corner. What I offer: • Home-style dog boarding with a warm, stress-free environment • Daily walks (including fun nature trails nearby) • Playtime, enrichment games • Personalized care based on your pet’s habits and preferences • Updates and photos so you can see how your fur baby is doing ( at the frequency you need) • Medication administration, if needed orally • Extra cuddles (always included!) I’ve been around dogs for quite some time now and have hosted my friend’s dogs, and I currently have two of my own—an 8-year-old Labrador and a 3-year-old Mopshond (Pug), both adopted and brought from India to the Netherlands. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry baby, because I’ve been in your shoes. That’s why I treat every dog like one of my own—with patience, understanding, and lots of love. I live with my 2 dogs - Pandu & Neo so caring for pets is part of my everyday life—from morning walks to evening cuddle time. It’s second nature to me, and so adding one more happy face to the mix is always welcome 🥰 When your fur baby stay at my place, they become part of the family! I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and naps. They get their own cozy space to relax, but also lots of love, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. I keep things calm, safe, and homey so they feel right at ease

Over: Ervaring met verschillende rassen, leeftijden, puppycursussen. Geduld, veel wandelen, knuffels en duidelijkheid zorgen ervoor dat ik altijd stabiele, sociale honden heb gehad. Luna, mijn hond, is er één van. Ik ben ondernemer, ben flexibel en heb altijd zin in een wandeling. Omdat mijn hond Luna ook uit moet, neem ik graag nog 1 mee. Vooral voor vakantie opvang. Veilige rustige omgeving. Kleine tuin, maar ongelooflijk groot bos als achtertuin. Houdringe en Panbos. Mijn hond is stabiel & rustig en een goede huisgenoot. We wandelen veel en uitgebreid.

Over: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners I met in the city and at nearby nature spots. A few years later and I am completing my Master's degree at Utrecht University, whilst working as a dog walker for an Utrecht-based hondenuitlaatservice. Do I sound like I could be the right fit for your pet? Please get in touch and we can arrange a meeting! (Multiple references available upon request). I am finishing up my MA thesis at Utrecht University, often working from home which is very compatible with pet care. I also am working a lot as a dog walker for an Utrecht based company. So even on working days I can easily bring a dog that I am looking after with me for the afternoon walk, which is a great chance for some group socialisation. I have my own studio with elevator accessibility. Only two minutes walk from my studio is lots of nature and forests, as well as a large area specifically for dogs to walk both on and off the lead.

Over: Sinds jongs af aan hadden wij thuis een hondenopvang. Ik hielp met de honden trainen en de puppycursussen. Zelf hadden we de volgende honden: een Duitse herder, Border Collie, Golden Retriever en een windhond (niet allemaal tegelijk haha). Ook met katten veel ervaring. Zo heb ik 3 nestjes gehad en verzorgd. Zelf heb ik nu 2 katten op mijn ouders’ boerderij. Ook als er iets bijzonders is, wil ik graag helpen! Ik kan de dieren veel aandacht geven, omdat ik 4 dagen thuis werk. Op woensdagen ben ik niet beschikbaar, maar verder ben ik ontzettend flexibel. Ik kan uw huisdier zowel bij u thuis verzorgen als bij mij. Ik heb een klein appartement (50m2), maar ik heb veel tijd om ze aandacht te geven of uit te laten.

“Vivian was superaardig, communicatief sterk en op korte termijn beschikbaar om op onze Guus te passen! Ze is met hem lekker lang gaan wandelen op de hei, en hij heeft een fantastische dag gehad dankzij haar. Dank je wel!”

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: I’ve grown up with pets in my home, and taking care of them has always been my responsibility and joy. When i had to take care of the puppy i had before i moved to live on my own i stayed up in the middle of the night bc the pup couldnt sleep and would howl by the stairs so i snuck downstairs to keep them comapny and slept with them downstairs 😅, so yea i have a lot of love for animals and i love to do everything i can to make sure they feel save and comfy. I also know what foods arent save for them, how to read their body language and just in general how to bond with them. Every pet is different, and I love adapting to their personality—whether that means giving them space to relax, playing together, or going on long walks and adventures outside. I have toys, energy, and a love for the outdoors, so if your pet is up for it, we’ll have a lot of fun! My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away Right now, I’m taking a break from work before starting my studies. I’d love to spend this time caring for animals, combining my need for extra income with my love for having furry friends by my side. Because of that, I’m available every day, ofc there are thing i probably have scheduled here and there so just contact me to schedule a visit. I believe every pet is unique, so I adapt my care to their personality and the wishes of their owner. I can stay inside with them for quiet companionship, give them plenty of walks, and enjoy outdoor play—even though I don’t have a garden, I love being outside and staying active with pets. I bring plenty of toys and treats to keep them entertained, and if the owner is happy with it, I can also help teach new tricks or reinforce ones the pet is already learning. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and loved, while respecting their routine and needs.

“Vatsala was amazing!!! My wedding was this past Saturday and we needed someone to watch our pups all day during the festivities. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better for such an important day. Vatsala and her fiance were the sweetest people on Rover, on time, easy to work with, and most importantly, the fur babes loved them! Couldn’t recommend higher.”

Over: I grew up with dogs, so I’ve had experience caring for them from a young age. At home, my parents had a sweet Cavalier King Charles, and now they have an energetic Ridgeback that I’ve also looked after regularly. Because of that, I have experience with both small, calm dogs and larger, stronger breeds. But well… they live in Portugal now, and I really miss having dogs around. I’m patient, caring and I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing or cuddling. I work part-time and I’m flexible! I would just appreciate it if things are communicated in advance so I can plan around my job. I choose my own working hours, after all 😊 I have a large enclosed community garden. (So if the weather is nice) me and your dog can always play there. Unless you prefer otherwise ofcourse.

Over: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs for 4 years. I own a cat in Peru (8yo). I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m studying and working part time. I’m free most of the afternoons/ evenings. So we can arrange a schedule if needed to petsit your baby. I can take care of your dog/cat on their own house and I can also bring them home with me, my building allow small pets.

Over: I own a dog as well and had 2 years experience taking care of pets two years prior to moving to Utrect! :) I take care of every pet with patience, empathy, and attention. I'm currently doing my Master's and have plenty of time to take care of your pet during the day and night. I’m reliable, organised, and careful about maintaining routines as well as feeding schedules, walks, or medication. I aim to create a calm, secure, and affectionate environment where pets can relax and feel at home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar.

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: Patience is one of my qualities and you can be sure that your pet will be in good hands. It will also be a great experience for me to get to know the city better and take care of your pet with a lot of love. I am also very committed, organized and proactive! I am very flexible about dates, locations and any last minute services. I am currently accepting to take care of your pets in your home. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Information about the service I offer:
 Walk with the dog (about 30 minutes to 1 hour walk). About 4/5 times a day
Keeping the same dog routine.
 Playing with the dog or cat. 
Feeding your pet.
Cleaning the litter box.
If necessary, administer the medication. 
At most 2 dogs at a time, so I can devote more quality time to them.
 I will keep you updated with photos and / or videos of your pet.

Over: I (Isabella) sometimes look after my mum's dog (a naughty Irish terrier) or my dad's dog (a rambunctious Airedale terrier) when they are away, and I'd love to do so for more dogs! My partner also has previous experience with dogs, having grown up with them. We both regularly take in Momo, a friends' cat, in our home when his parents come to visit, and we love to have him over! I am a researcher working from home with a flexible schedule, so I often take breaks throughout the day to go for a stroll in the neighbourhood. My partner works from home 3 days a week. This means we have quite an open and flexible schedule to take in pets! We also like to go for a long hike on Sundays. We live in a flat with an upstairs section, and a small terrace in the city centre of Utrecht. When our friend's cat comes to stay over, we put some of the houseplants away for safety. In any case, we do not open any windows or doors unless we are able to keep an active eye on the pet. We can discuss any accommodation needed (medication, length of walk, hazards, etc) with you when you contact us!

“Wij zijn erg blij dat onze Pecas kon bij Monique blijven. Zij is lief, open en met een natuurlijke gave om met dieren om te gaan. Pecas heeft het erg naar zijn zin gehad. Dankjewel Monique!!!”

“Louise took great care of Charlie. He looked very relaxed and happy. We got loads of pics and updates from Louise on how Charlie is doing throughout the day. Louise was very flexible on pick up time as we were running late. Charlie and I are very happy with the experience!”

“Marta heeft fantastisch voor Winston, onze mini teckel, gezorgd. Wij twijfelen geen moment om Winston nog een keer een dag bij Marta door te brengen. We raden haar zeker aan! Marta did a great job looking after Winston our mini dachshund (mini teckel). We highly recommend her and will happily leave Winston in her care again.”
