Hondenopvang in Houten

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.

“We went from 1 to 2 husky puppies in a week which felt like a lot to put on Maite but she did amazing! We absolutely love sending our furballs to her. She takes such good care of them and we never have to worry. Maite, you are an absolute star and our dogs love spending time with you!”

“Dilo was traveling with me and we had a five hour wait time. Dilo was acting up so I booked Kongmeng on short notice and everything worked out well. She and her husband took care of Dilo well. Would definitely drop Dilo with them when I am in Utrecht”

“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.”

“Life offers BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE MEETINGS !!! Tatiana is definitely one of them !!! She has been WONDERFUL with our 6 months dog, she took care of him for 3 days. She even had to give him his medication. We couldn't find better than Tatiana to take so great care of our dog, a REAL GIFT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her !!! Thank you Tatiana.”

Over: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with a heart full of love for our furry companions — especially French Bulldogs, my absolute weakness! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by big dogs, thanks to my uncles, and have years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pups. For three years, I had the joy of caring for a sweet French Bulldog while also babysitting the children in the family — and I loved every minute of it. Dogs, to me, are the most loyal, loving beings on Earth, and I believe they always bring light and joy into our lives. Also, together with my husband, we've been taking care of dogs as petsitters during the last few years. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a snuggle-bug, I’ll treat them like family — with patience, affection, and all the belly rubs they can handle! 🐕 Let me know what your dog needs, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your best friend! 💛 My husband and I can flexibly work from home, so one of us can probably be available unless there is something very specific or last minute plan. Dogs can be crated and our balcony have a fence for her/him to enjoy a space outside. There is no furniture than can hurt her/him.

“First time I have my dog with anyone and I thought it will be very hard. Thank you both for being wonderful with him and for making this very easy and flexible ♥️🙏🏼”

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: 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: Ik heb van kinds af aan katten gehad, ben echt gek op die beestjes. Altijd even groeten/aaien als er eentje langs loopt op straat :) Kan er goed mee omgaan! Vind honden ook heel leuk maar zelf nooit gehad. Wel ervaring bij vrienden en met uitlaten. Ik woon in een groot huis met andere net afgestudeerden. Geen druk “partyhuis”, wel heel veel ruimte en aandacht van meerdere mensen! Vorige oppashonden en -katten vonden alle liefde en aandacht te gek! For dogs: I only take care of 1 dog at a time. For cats and dogs: preference of a maximum length of approx one week :) (I can make exceptions sometimes) Ik ben momenteel ‘in between jobs’ en ik heb dus heel veel vrije tijd waarin ik graag op een huisdier zou passen en veel aandacht kan geven :) Ik geef veel liefde en aandacht afhankelijk van wat het huisdier nodig heeft! Ik heb ook een tuin die grenst aan het water maar wel omheind met een hek is.

“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!”

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!

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

Over: I’m an experienced dog sitter, have many years of experiences. Your pet will have extra care and cuddles with us in kid and other pets free home I am not working currently, so your pet will not be left alone. Your pet will have long or short walks 3-4 times a day in the park near to us. We don’t have kid or other pets, so your pet will be the only kid in our place. Have a small garden with the fence. But I live on the first floor with Dutch stairs. I usually carry the small ones if they are afraid of stairs and comfortable to get carried.

Over: Hi! I'm Julieth from Colombia, currently living in the beautiful Netherlands. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets, from dogs and cats to birds and small mammals. They've been a constant source of joy and learning in my life, and my passion for animals has only grown over the years. I love all kinds of animals and have extensive experience caring for them. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else's care can be a tough decision, so I strive to make that choice easier by providing the best possible care. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, some playtime, feeding, grooming, or just a bit of company, you can count on me to provide the love and attention they deserve. I believe that every pet is unique, with their own personality and needs, and I tailor my care to meet those individual requirements. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. With me, your pet will not only be well-cared for but also have a fun and engaging time. I’m dedicated, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and helping to make your time apart as stress-free as possible. Let’s ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. Well, I'm studying a Master degree in Utrecht University, I finished my courses so my time is flexible to care pets. I love animals, share and taking care of them. I have a perfect location close to Utrecht central. I live in the first floor, I do not have kids or more pets. So, I can be exclusively dedicated to your lovely pet or pets.

“Lexie was great with Nero! She was communicative and sent cute photos throughout the day. Will definitely be back.”

Over: Ik ben Lebrina, 31 jaar en woonachtig in het centrum van Utrecht. Hier woon ik in een ruim huis met 2 andere dames op 1 hoog. Een tuin hebben we helaas niet, maar het Wilhelminapark en Lepelenburg zitten op loopafstand. Ik ben freelance fotografe. Hoewel ik door mijn werk geen eigen hond kan nemen, geniet ik er enorm van om op honden te passen en lange wandelingen te maken. Mijn werk maak mij erg flexibel. Ik kan veelal doordeweeks, in de ochtenden/middag/avonden en af en toe in het weekend. Momenteel pas ik regelmatig op de Cockapoo van mijn beste vriendin, en ik weet hoe belangrijk het is dat je hond in goede, liefdevolle handen is. Ik ben een zorgzame, betrouwbare oppas die er graag op uit gaat met je hond. Voor een koffietje in de stad of voor een lange wandeling in het bos. Updates met mooie foto's van je hond krijg je er gratis bij ;) Momenteel werk ik freelance. Ik doe dit vanuit huis. Ik ben dus erg flexibel en veelal doordeweeks beschikbaar om op te passen of een wandeling te maken. Ik heb geen tuin. Wel woon ik op loopafstand van park Lepelenburg en het Wilhelmina plein. Verder heb ik een ruime woonkamer waar de hond kan spelen.

Over: I have a close relationship with my dog back home and now looking forward to take care or spend my time with some pets away from home. Love to take them for walks and overnight care. It is important for me to know there routines and behaviour for the best care I can give. I have a Labrador that is 8 years’ old he is hyperactive and I have been able to understand dog behaviours and needs to keep them happy. I have walked pets earlier too of different age and sizes. I'm mostly available on the weekends and evenings with flexible timings. Timings can be spoken based on the need and some days, I can also make it in weekdays and work while taking care of your pet. I have an decent sized apartment and wouldn't mind the pet going around the house and use my furniture's to chill if they are used to doing that. I will do my best to make them feel like home when I have them over at mine.

Over: Nou ben ik sowieso al graag buiten en maak graag wandelingen, en al helemaal met een hond. Vroeger hadden we thuis een hond en mijn beide oma s hadden ook een hond. Nu kan ik helaas geen hond nemen, want ik woon alleen en dan ben je ook wel eens weg. Ik mis het echter wel. Na een ziekte probeer ik door beweging terug in vorm te komen, en daar helpt elke dag een wandeling met een hondje bij. Rondje met hondje. Tijd en ruimte dus over. ik ben onder de 50. Momenteel zit ik in de ziektewet, tijd over en eigenlijk geen verplichtingen. Momenteel heb ik alleen maandag avond wat staan, maar in overleg is altijd wel wat te regelen. Het liefste kom ik eerst even langs bij het baasje ter kennismaking. Ik laat de hond driemaal per dag uit, houd hem aan de lijn en laat hem niet los. Daarna kan ie thuis rusten. Inclusief af en toe aaien en knuffels. Lekkernijen zijn thuis aanwezig. Halverwege de dag stuur ik meestal een foto naar het baasje om te laten merken dat de hond het goed heeft.

“Xinyuan was wonderful with our dog. She looked after her for 3 days in a row (while we went to shows at the Fringe). Our dog was always happy to see her each morning! Xinyuan kept us informed and sent lots of pictures during the day. I can highly recommend Xinyuan, and will happily leave our dog with her next time we are in Edinburgh!”
