Dagopvang Leusden

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.

“Romy (5-jarige Roemeense rescue hond) voor de eerste keer bij de dagopvang van Nadja gebracht. Voor alle betrokkenen (en dus ook Romy) een spannende gebeurtenis. Zij (Romy) heeft dat goed en rustig gedaan. Hier zullen we ons hondje wel vaker gaan brengen.”

“Hallo, gisteren is onze Labrador Cas bij Michelle geweest en wat een leuke vrouw is Michelle, de ervaring en behendigheid straalt van haar af. wij hebben dit (ik en Cas) als zeer fijn ervaren en we gaan dit bijna elke maandag doen op deze manier.”

“Caoimhe and Alex took great care of Charlie. He got along really well with their 9 month old toy poodle, Waffles. They took him for several short pee breaks during the day which we really appreciated since it is quite hot out to do longer walks today. They also kept us well informed throughout the day and shared plenty of cute photo and videos of Charlie and Waffles. Thank you both!”

“Jovan is such an attentive and kind dog sitter, our dog Waldo had such a great time hanging out with him and Misha! Jovan was super accommodating and met up with us first so we could see if Waldo and Misha get along. He was also really understanding and patient knowing that Waldo can be a bit shy and anxious at first. He even kept us updated during the day with pictures. We are super happy that Waldo was in such good hands and will book daycare with Jovan again very soon <3”

“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: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a very pet-loving family where we always had at least three dogs, sometimes four, alongside rabbits, fish, and other pets. Over the years I’ve lived with and cared for a wide variety of different breeds, including Bernese Mountain Dogs, Newfoundlands, a Cocker Spaniel mix, a Maltese Poodle, and a Boerboel. Having had both giant breeds and smaller dogs as pets has really taught me how different every dog is and how important it is to adapt to their individual personality, energy level, and needs. I regularly took our three Bernese Mountain Dogs on hikes in the mountains and on adventures to forests and lakes, while our smaller dogs much preferred a relaxing walk on the beach or park. I now work from home full-time, with no pets currently, and live just a short walk from Vondelpark, which means I have the flexibility to give plenty of attention, walks and playtime throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which means I’m around throughout the day and can give pets plenty of attention and cuddles! I live just a 5-minute walk from Vondelpark and usually head there at least once a day, so dogs staying with me can enjoy regular walks and lots of time outdoors. Whether your pet loves being active or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to adapt to their routine! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment with a secure balcony and easy access to Vondelpark. I will follow your instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away without a worry!

“Sayuri, Kushal and their boys are very wonderful with my two dogs. They send lovely pictures, and are always great with communication. We appreciate the care and love they offer our dogs!”

Over: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets for 7 years. My family, friends and neighbors trust me for the best treatment and for their peace of mind. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time for pet care. I am available almost all week and you can contact me the same day. I live in a bungalow with a garden in a campsite with lots of green space so your pet can enjoy the outdoors and have a good time.

Over: Ik heb eigenlijk altijd met dieren gewoont en er hart voor gehad, zelf heb ik bij een dierenhotel gewerkt met voornamelijk honden en beseft dat het veel leuker is om voor mezelf te werken zolang er maar honden om me heen zijn. Ook ben ik op mijn vorige werkplek getraint om met lastigere honden om te kunnen gaan wat ookal zeg ik het zelf best goed doe. Ik heb op het moment 1 hond waar ik structureel op pas en het liefst spendeer ik mijn vrije tijd ook met honden want ja als je doet waar je van houdt hoef je geen enkele dag te werken. Thuis kunnen ze lekker op de slaapbank of op 1 van de 2 poefjes liggen of op bed mist ze schoon zijn hahhaa, vondelpark is bij mij om de hoek dus daar zijn we ook regelmatig te vinden.

“Super happy with how it went! Will book again”

“Eric is wonderful! He takes care of our pup routinely during the week while we are at work and is so kind, extremely responsive, and keeps us updated with great photos throughout the stay. We have a high-energy pup and Eric keeps him active with multiple walks and outdoor time throughout the day. His pick up and drop off has made our work days so smooth and stress-free. We know our dog is in safe hands the entire time. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

Ariana K.

“Kenza is a lovely person who was very patient with our dog and really made an effort to make him as comfortable as possible. Herself and her partner really took the time to get to know our scared dog and made sure that he has everything he needs. I would recommend Kenza as a dog sitter and we hope to be able to make use of her services again in the future.”

Over: Wij zijn twee echte hondenliefhebbers die graag voor jouw hond zorgen. Omdat ik momenteel tussen twee banen in zit, heb ik alle tijd en aandacht om jouw hond een fijne dag te bezorgen. Mijn vriend heeft ruim 10 jaar ervaring met honden en is opgegroeid met een hond vanaf zijn zevende. Daarnaast passen we regelmatig op het hondje van een vriendin. We wonen in Amsterdam, maar maken graag lange wandelingen in het Vondelpark of rijden naar een mooi natuurgebied voor extra avontuur. Bij ons krijgt jouw hond veel liefde, aandacht en beweging. Omdat ik momenteel tussen twee banen in zit, ben ik veel thuis en kan ik mijn dag volledig afstemmen op de behoeften van jouw hond. Dat betekent alle tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen en de verzorging die jouw hond gewend is. Mijn vriend werkt fulltime, maar is ’s avonds en in het weekend ook graag betrokken. Samen zorgen we voor een rustige, liefdevolle en betrouwbare omgeving waarin jouw hond zich snel thuis zal voelen. Ik vind het belangrijk dat een hond zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Daarom houd ik zoveel mogelijk de dagelijkse routine aan die hij of zij gewend is, zoals vaste wandelmomenten, etenstijden en eventuele medicatie. Er is volop tijd voor aandacht, spelen, rust en knuffels. Ik stem de verzorging altijd af op de wensen van het baasje, zodat jouw hond de zorg krijgt die hij of zij verdient.

“Cristina did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Chopp, for the day. She was very attentive and caring, making sure he felt comfortable and happy. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and great communication, which gave me peace of mind. Chopp was clearly well looked after, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I’d highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
