Hondenoppas in Laren

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: I have trained our first dog when we adopted her as a puppy and I took care of her as she aged. I also have experience with high energy attention loving dogs thanks to our other little menace. I have experience administering medication, dogs with asthma, leash training and other simple tricks. Hi, a kind stranger on the train who let me pet his dog told me about this app after i talked about how much I missed hanging out with animals. I have two dogs and a cat living back home with my family. Since I moved here for university I have lots of free time in my hand that I'd like to spend with you little buddies. I live in a house with no big rooms or garden so I only can accommodate small dogs or cats. As much as I love and enjoy being with animals your instructions will also always be a top priority

“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.”

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.”

“Na de eerste kennismaking voelde het gelijk goed voor zowel ons als voor Mavi zelf om hem bij Maartje achter te laten toen wij op vakantie gingen. Ik kreeg hele leuke foto's toegestuurd en zag dat hij echt aan het genieten was. Mavi is niet de aller makkelijkste hond maar dit was allemaal geen probleem. Toen we Mavi weer kwamen ophalen was hij helemaal relaxed en ik beveel Maartje dan ook zeker aan als je een zorgeloze vakantie wilt.”

Over: Good day! I adore dogs and dare I say it's mutual. Grew up in a home of little dogs, looked after my friends big dogs, did some cat sitting, even though I'm allergic to cats😂. I know it is stressful to leave your pet with someone you don't know, but your dog will be fully taken care of. Will communicate with you as much as you require on the progress of the activity you chose. I understand based on the dogs needs what energy to bring and what activities they would enjoy. As of now I cannot live in a house with a pet, so I decided to lend my time to others in need :) Because of that I can only take little dogs to my home and for no longer than a weekend. Reach out if you have any questions and hope it is a match! Have a good day! Available currently only over the weekends. Depending on the dogs needs, can either just visit to feed, play, clean up, walk or take overnight/during the day to my home for a full care I live next to park where I love taking dogs for a walk, if your dog enjoys swimming, there’s an access to water! If your dog is more of a home-body or doesn’t like other dogs, can avoid crowded areas and walk where there are little to no dogs. For overnight stay dog can stay in bed, if that is what they are accustomed to.

“Nastia was great! She was very professional, looked very well after our little one and made sure we were updated at any time. We could not have wished for anything more! ❤️”

“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.”

Over: My pug was one of my best friends, but unfortunately she's no longer with us and I miss having a furry friend around. I have lots of experience with the things that come with being a "smush face" breed like reverse sneezing etc. But am equally capable of taking care of other breeds as well, most recently I took care of a beagle and golden retriever. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would make a profile here and see if I could do it more often. :) I typically work from home so I can keep your pooch company and vice versa throughout the day. I go to dance classes every Tuesday and Thursday evening, so if they're staying overnight I may leave them on their own for a few hours at a time. Similarly on the weekends, there are some days I'm mostly hanging at home and others where I might be out for short periods of time :) I don't have any pets of my own so my full attention will be on taking care of yours when they are with me :)

Over: I have been living around animals and especially dogs since I was born, growing up around them. At age 6 I met my beloved cat Coco, who lived an amazing 14 years. It gave me the experience of taking care of senior animals, and above all learning how to be very aware of their special needs :) I am a student at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, however my schedule allows a lot of free time and study at home. I only have class on Tuesday and Friday from 12pm-3pm, and I have my sport activity on the Wednesday evening, but expect from then I am available at any time to go out for walks or visits. I am living into a cosy apartment that has a closed terrace which it is not suitable for cats, however dogs can go out whenever they want. Animals are welcome on the couch, on the bed, and of course free to roam around :) I will always be present to watch and care whenever I have an animal under my supervision.

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.

“Svetlana took care of my dog during Christmas and did an outstanding job. She is reactive, flexible and very nice. My dog received plenty of attention and love. Svetlana kept me updated with photos and messages throughout my dog’s stay. Her genuine care and affection for my dog gave me peace of mind, knowing she was in great hands. Thank you Svetlana, a pet sitter that I highly recommend!”
