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.

“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.”

Joyce S.

“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.”

“Natalia en haar familie hebben fantastisch voor mijn lieve hond Lua gezorgd. Lua is door haar leeftijd en het feit dat ze maar drie poten heeft geen doorsnee hond om op te passen, maar Natalia heeft haar gedurende de paar dagen dat ik op vakantie was alle zorg, aandacht en geduld gegeven die ze nodig had. Ik kreeg iedere dag een update, inclusief leuke foto's, waardoor ik met een gerust hart van mijn vakantie kon genieten. Niet alleen Natalia, maar haar hele familie straalde liefde voor dieren uit, en dat was duidelijk terug te zien in de manier waarop ze met Lua omgingen. Lua heeft het zichtbaar ontzettend naar haar zin gehad. Mocht ik in de toekomst weer een oppas nodig hebben, dan weet ik zeker dat ik haar met een gerust hart opnieuw aan Natalia en haar familie toevertrouw.”

“Celine and her partner were absolutely amazing with our dog. It was our first time having her stay somewhere other than home since we adopted her a year ago, and Celine kept us updated the whole time, and I could tell our dog was super happy with all the care, attention, and outings. Thanks so much to Celine for all her care and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again,”

Anna K.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 Leaving your dog with someone else is never easy, but from the very first moment we felt completely at ease. She has a beautiful, spotless apartment and creates such a calm, welcoming environment. When we picked up our dog, he looked incredibly relaxed, happy, and comfortable as if he had been on his own little holiday! She was thoughtful and attentive throughout the entire stay, regularly sending us photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Knowing that our dog was safe, loved, and well looked after allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. ❤️🐶✨”

Carlotta S.

“Maria looked after my yorkshire, Nelson, for few days while I was away on holidays. She kept me update throughout the entire time, with loads of photos and details about their day. Nelson has some behaviour issues and is not a very social dog, however, Maria made me feel very comfortable and clearly knows how to handle a dog in difficult situations. She is responsible, communicates clearly and has loads of experience. I would definitely reach out to Maria again whenever I go away in the future.”

“Hele fijne oppas voor onze hond Mila. Laura houdt goed contact met je. Neemt de tijd voor meerdere wandelingen op een dag. Laura stemt alles keurig met je af. Superblij met deze oppasmogelijkheid en Mila ook!”

“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 🥰”

“I appreciate the flexibility, love for the pets, attention. Thank you for taking care of our dog, felt safe and confident leaving him with you.”

“Shaima and Simba are the BEST. Ginger felt immediately at home. Safe and cuddled. I received so many amazing updates & pictures through her care. It was really lovely. I highly recommend Shaima!! Such a great dog mommy!!!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Over: Ik word blij van honden. Sterker nog: als een hond me aankijkt met die trouwe ogen, ben ik meestal direct verkocht. Katten hebben weer een heel ander effect op me: die maken me rustig en ontspannen. Daarom lijkt het me geweldig om tijdelijk voor jouw hond of kat te zorgen.
Sinds kort woon ik in Amersfoort, in het Leusderkwartier, aan het Juliana van Stolbergpark. Ik heb zelf ruim 15 jaar twee tot drie katten gehad en ben opgegroeid met honden. Door een drukke baan heb ik nooit een eigen hond gekozen; ik vond het zielig om haar zo lang alleen te laten. Inmiddels werk ik nog maar een paar dagen per week - veelal vanuit huis - (ik ben 59 jaar) en heb ik eindelijk meer tijd om te genieten van wandelen, natuur en dieren.
Je vindt me regelmatig in Klein Zwitserland of Landgoed Den Treek. Hoe gezellig is het om die wandelingen samen met een hond te maken? In Spanje, waar ik een deel van het jaar verblijf, laat ik als vrijwilliger af en toe honden uit voor een dierenopvang in de omgeving van Marbella. 
Omdat ik graag reis en in de winter vaak in Spanje ben, zoek ik geen eigen huisdier meer. Juist daarom vind ik het leuk om af en toe voor jouw hond of kat te zorgen. In mijn huis past een kleine of middelgrote hond. Ik ben flexibel beschikbaar voor wandelingen, huisbezoeken of opvang tijdens een weekendje weg of korte vakantie. Het liefst 1 dag tot max 7 a 10 dagen. Last minute plannen? Daar ben ik eigenlijk best goed in – een beetje op z’n Spaans. 😉 Belangrijk: 
voor hondenuitlaatservice of huisbezoeken: alleen beschikbaar in omgeving Leusderkwartier / Bergkwartier / Klein Zwitserland / Juliana van Stolbergpark (dat is nl. dichtbij mijn huis). 

 MATCH?
 Bij huisoppas of logeren vind ik het prettig om vooraf kennis te maken, om te kijken of er een klik is en of er aan beide kanten een vertrouwd gevoel is. Bij huisbezoeken kan ik naast de zorg voor je huisdier ook de post en planten ed. verzorgen. Ik neem maximaal 1 huisdier per dag aan, zodat ik daar alle aandacht aan kan geven. Belangrijk bij het logeren van je kat: je kat moet gewend zijn om binnen te kunnen zijn (ik heb een kleine afgesloten binnentuin en een wat grotere open tuin aan het park). We bespreken samen wat je hond of kat gewend is. Ik ben zelf zelfstandig ondernemer en werk parttime meestal online vanuit huis. Vroeger had ik een te drukke baan om dit te combineren met een eigen hond; ik vond het zielig om haar zo lang alleen te laten. Inmiddels werk ik nog maar een paar dagen per week - veelal vanuit huis - (ik ben 59 jaar) en heb ik eindelijk meer tijd om te genieten van wandelen, natuur en dieren. Ik heb een omheinde tuin en woon aan het park en vlakbij bij een omheind honden uitlaat veldje. ik bied een rustige omgeving, zonder andere huisdieren of kinderen.

“I couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter! Paula and Josip were incredibly caring, patient, and had such a calm, reassuring energy that made both me and my dog feel at ease. It's obvious they genuinely love dogs and understand how to make them feel safe and comfortable. They kept me updated, took wonderful care of cloud, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone kind, experienced and reliable.”

Daniel K.

“Our dog was very well taken care of, and we got numerous photos and updates throughout the stay. We definitely recommend booking with Marlies!”

Grant C.

“Noodle was a bit restless and anxious when we left, but Sofia took her for a long walk which made Noodle relaxed and totally at ease. Noodle feels very comfortable with Sofia. Thank you Sofia for taking such good care of Noodle!”

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!

“Caro was lovely in taking care of my dog Ollie! She was very responsive, flexible, and sweet. I could tell he had a great time with her and would love to see her again.”

“Svetlana took very good care of my little guy! Really happy to have had her to take care of him while my partner and I were away on vacation. Next time we go we now know who to call 🥰”

Over: I have been surrounded by pets since I was a child. Growing up with both a cat and a dog, I learned early on how to read their different "languages." One of my proudest achievements was successfully socialising my cat and dog to live in harmony, a process that required a lot of patience, calm energy, and an understanding of animal boundaries. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience walking my relatives' dogs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs to run or a shy dog who needs a gentle leader, I am comfortable adapting to different personalities. I’m not just a "sitter", I’m someone who genuinely enjoys the bond that comes from a long walk and a good play session. Im a 20-year-old student living in Almere. Because my studies allow for a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of free time and energy to dedicate to your furry friends. I’m currently saving up for my tuition, and since I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to occasional travel, pet sitting is the perfect way for me to share my home and heart with animals! I live right near Oostvaarders Station, which is a dream location for dogs! We are minutes away from incredible green spaces and the edges of the Oostvaardersplassen. My "adventure walks" take place in these expansive, quiet areas where your dog can truly explore. Also my neighborhood is peaceful and pet-friendly, with plenty of room to roam away from heavy city traffic. To ensure the highest level of safety and care, I only host one pet at a time. They will have my undivided attention for cuddles, play, and supervision. Safety & Communication Safety is my priority. I always use a leash during walks unless we are in a securely fenced-in area. I know how much you’ll miss your pet, so I love sending regular "pupdates" with photos and videos of our day so you can see how much fun they’re having! I only accept vaccinated pets to keep everyone safe and healthy. I can't wait to meet your companion and give them a fun, stress-free stay!
