Over: Ik heb als kind altijd een hond gehad. En heb 1,5 jaar geleden afscheid genomen van onze Golden retriever die 13,5 jaar bij ons was geweest. Omdat ik het enorm mis de gezelligheid van een hond maar toch niet een eigen hond meer wil, heb ik besloten om te gaan oppassen. Ik zie er dan ook enorm naar uit! Ik woon in de buurt van bos en strand dus genoeg mogelijkheden om te wandelen. Laat maar even weten wat je graag wil, dan kunnen we samen kijken hoe we een gezellig, veilig plekje voor jouw hond kunnen garanderen. Momenteel ben ik fulltime thuis en zou graag in overleg kijken wat ik voor jou zou kunnen betekenen. Het liefst overdag maar ook een nacht wil ik best proberen. Ik heb een fijne tuin maar heb in de omgeving genoeg wandelgebieden waar jouw hond eventueel ook los zou kunnen. Graag wel je eigen mand of bench meenemen.

Over: Sinds mijn geboorte ben ik al omringd door huisdieren, poezen, honden, konijnen, vogels, zelf paarden. Ik zou mij geen leven zonder huisdieren kunnen voorstellen. Ik laat graag de hond uit en knuffel met de poezen. Momenteel zit ik in de ziektewet en ben ik elke dag thuis met de poezen en mijn dochter (4 april 2025). Ik wandelde elke dag met onze grote Zwitser, helaas in december 2024 moeten laten gaan :( . nieuwe wandelmaatjes welkom! Ik zorg altijd voor een rustige ontmoeting met het dier. Onze poezen hebben een eigen klimmuur dus die kunnen waarnodig de rust opzoeken. Onze poezen kunnen 100% met honden. P

Over: I love animals and I'd love to babysit your pet. There's always someone home, so they'll never feel lonely! We'll send you videos and photos daily (via WhatsApp) so you can see how they're doing. Animals can't talk, but they communicate in other ways. When you get back, you'll know they've been well just by looking at their face :) In the photos, you'll see some of our guests. We generally take them out at least four times a day. I love motivating dogs. I'll play with them using balls and wood chips, and I'll give them lots of affection and love. I love animals; if you let me have your dog, you won't regret it. I'll take care of it as if it were my own. A typical day involves going to a huge park that's just 2 minutes from home. If he's sociable, he'll meet up with several friends each day; if he prefers solitude, there's also plenty of space to stroll around undisturbed.

Over: I am deeply passionate about animals and dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care for your beloved pets. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience caring for a variety of animals—from dogs and cats to birds and bunnies—belonging to family and close friends. I always ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat each one with the same love and respect as if they were my own. My goal is to be not just a caregiver but your pet’s trusted companion while you’re away, offering peace of mind through responsible, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. Since I work from home, I am able to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. This allows me to give them plenty of attention, regular feeding, exercise, and companionship according to their individual needs. My availability ensures your pets won’t feel lonely and will have a reliable routine, even while you’re away. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care, whether in my home or at the owner’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment, free from hazards, with comfortable spaces for rest and play. When caring at the owner’s home, I strictly follow their instructions and routines to ensure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I build trust through clear communication, reliability, and respect for each pet’s unique needs, always putting their happiness and security first.

Over: Opleiding bedrijfsleider dierverzorging niveau 4 afgerond. Vind het leuk om met dieren te werken en om mensen te helpen. Sinds mijn 11e een eigen paard. Al heel wat jaren (oppas) honden. Laatste jaars HBO student met weinig lesdagen. Hierdoor heb ik veel vrije tijd om met mijn hond in het bos of op het strand te wandelen. Ben erg flexibel met oppassen en uitlaten. Ik woon in een hoekhuis met grote, omheinde tuin. Ik beschik over een rijbewijs om naar de duinen/bos/strand te gaan met de hond. Pas me volledig aan naar de behoefte van het baasje en de hond.

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

“Luca had a great stay at Álvaro. He took great care of my dog and also send regular updates about the stay so I knew exactly for example how many times Luca ate. He has a lovely pet friendly home went plenty of room to play around. The communication was easy and he was flexibel with the pick-up and drop-off times.”

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: All my life I've had pets at home. I'm a veterinary technician, and one of my passions is working with animals and giving them lots of love and care. Currently, I'm staying at home and have enough time to take care of your pet, take them for walks, and play with them. It will be days filled with lots of fun. I have a spacious fenced garden at home where they can roam freely, and I can take them out more regularly. The care in each home would be very different, as I would tailor specific outings based on the service each person desires.

“Highly recommended! He is incredibly flexible and accommodating with check-in and check-out times, making the whole process stress-free. Their communication was clear and consistent, keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay. I will definitely book with them again! 😊🐶”

Over: I’ve had pets all my life; they are family to me. Loving, responsible cat owner, happy to host and care for pets, ensuring comfort and affection. I’m currently working full time but during the night as auditor. During the day I’m with the pets I play and feed them. I prepare my cat his feeder daily in the morning so it gives him fresh wet food mixed with his treats and his regular food. But I’m able to feed however your pet’s routine. I don’t have balcony or related. It’s an apartment but I can walk with the dog if it’s needed. And in case of the cat I’ll make sure they have fun with playtimes

Over: Hallo💃🏾 mijn naam is Rebecca en ik woon op een paar minuten afstand van het geweldige Jagersplas park. Ik zal hieronder wat over mijzelf vertellen. In mijn jeugd altijd honden gehad thuis. Het is zo fijn om een maatje te hebben waar je altijd mee kan kroelen. Honden zijn trouwe dieren die er altijd voor je zijn. Daarnaast hebben ze ook nog eens humor! Ik heb zelf een paar jaar geleden een ander huisje gezocht voor mijn Aussie. Ik kwam in een burn-out en kon niet meer ver lopen. Ik zie Kai nog elk jaar in Zeeland en hij is gelukkiger dan ooit. Het was een verdrietige situatie maar het was nog erger niet goed te kunnen zorgen voor hem. Ik heb meerdere trainingen met Kai en ben dus wel wat gewend. Ik vind het erg leuk om te trainen en gebaren aan te leren. Wist je dat honden ontzettend visueel zijn ingesteld? Je kan een hond makkelijk trainen en opdrachten geven met handgebaren. Inmiddels ben ik steeds mobieler en zou het leuk vinden af en toe op te passen. Ik mis het wel namelijk. Ik woon in een maisonnette met mijn zoon een vriend. Mijn zoon is 14 en ook hartstikke dol op honden. Uw hond krijgt hier dan ook alle aandacht en liefde. Ik heb een ruim dakterras en het park is om de hoek! Ik kom daar elke dag voor een wandeling dus uw viervoeter kan gezellig mee natuurlijk. Verder ga ik graag naar het bos of het strand. Ik hoop uw hond snel te mogen knuffelen. Ik ben volledig thuis en beschikbaar. Ik ga elke dag wandelen in het park en kan alle aandacht geven die een hond nodig heeft. Ik ben weinig buiten de deur dan voor een boodschap. Ik heb een mooi terras op het zuiden, in de zomer heerlijk met een parasol. Ik woon op drie hoog in een maisonnette, er is een lift.

Over: Ik heb veel ervaring met verschillende huisdieren. Ik heb konijnen, cavia’s en hamsters verzorgd, en zelfs de kleintjes geboren zien worden. Ook heb ik ervaring met het uitlaten en verzorgen van honden van buren. Ik zorg ervoor dat elk huisdier zich veilig en geliefd voelt. Ik ben zeer flexibel en beschikbaar op vrijwel elk moment van de dag. Of het nu ochtend, middag of avond is, ik kan me aanpassen aan de planning van uw huisdier. Ik zorg ervoor dat zowel het huisdier als het huis veilig zijn. Ik volg de instructies van de eigenaar nauwkeurig en houd het huisdier altijd onder controle.

“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: I have always veen taking care of animals. Big and small, young and old. I’m experienced with the well-being of animals. Mainly cats, dogs, bunnies, birds and hamsters. It would be wonderful to work with you and take care of your pet! I’m working part-time so I'm flexible with my time. It is also possible for me to stay overnight to take care of the pet. You can always discuss the time and date with me and it will be made sure of to find a solution that fits both of our schedules. I have a cat but he prefers to go outdoors or visit my other family near us. I have a small garden where it is always possible to play and we have a big house with 5 bedrooms so space is not a problem! Also can crate your pet if it is needed from the owner.

Over: I grew up with dogs since my childhood. At the same time, I currently have a husky breed dog. She is an incredible actor and friendly dog. Can get along with all dogs! Also my husband working from home, so we taking care carefully.
I accept longer stays if my schedule allows!

These qualities and the services I offer ensure that pet owners can trust me with their beloved pets. I prioritize their happiness and health, taking care of them with love and dedication. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take Nina out in the morning (9–10 AM), again around 1–2 PM for a quick bathroom break, and we enjoy a long evening walk in the park. This routine keeps pets happy, active, and loved. I have a friendly husky, Nina, who loves meeting new dogs. I organize a short meetup in the park so dogs can get to know each other. Nina has welcomed many dog guests and enjoys the social time, making every visit fun and safe.

“I was very happy with Klaudia as a dogsitter. She went on long walks with Kiwi and regularly sent me updates and photos, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. Klaudia is very kind, reliable, and communication with her was excellent from the start. Kiwi felt very comfortable with her, was calm and relaxed in the evening, and slept really well. I would book Klaudia again anytime and can highly recommend her 🐶💛”

Over: We are new to this website, but we have done a lot of petsitting for our families and friends in the past, especially cats and dogs. We also have been using a different platform where we do house and pet sitting abroad. We would diligently follow instructions where pet behaviour, diet, characteristics, medication, rules, training and routines are concerned. We would send daily updates, with photos and videos, to let you know how things are going :) We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We understand that trusting strangers to look after your much loved pets can be rather daunting, therefore we hope that by communicating with us, any existing worries or doubts can be eliminated :) Because we both mostly work from home and have flexible schedules, pet care fits easily into our daily routine. One of us is almost always at home, so pets are rarely left alone. We plan our days around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, and we can easily adapt to special needs, medication, or extra attention when required. We provide a calm, safe, and loving home where pets can follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. We give plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s personality, and because we’re often at home, pets are rarely left alone. We also send regular updates with photos and messages.

Over: I’ve had dogs my whole life (and plenty of other pets too)! I feel comfortable and relaxed around dogs, I prefer them to most people I think! I will provide everything your dog could possibly need. I’ve had experience with puppies and training, all the way through to caring for senior dogs and their requirements. I currently have my own dog who needs at least 3 walks a day so your dog will receive exactly the same! I currently work two days a week but, on the days I work, my partner Ross will be at home (I’ve uploaded a photo of the two of us with our dog!) My daily routine completely revolves around my dog and what he needs so I’m also happy to cater to your furry friends needs too! We sometimes have weekend plans but these are normally dog friendly activities too. I have a fenced patio outside that your dog is welcome to wander outside and go to the toilet in. I also have my dog who will keep your friends company too. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our home, so if your dog needs some quiet alone time then they can take themselves off for some piece. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and bed too if they want. We also do have a crate for our dog that we can use if needed.
