Hondenoppas in Scherpenzeel

Over: Hoi! Ik ben Chayenne, een 22 jarige studente Kunst en Economie aan de HKU in Utrecht. Ik woon in het hartje van Amersfoort (precies tussen het station en het centrum). Omdat ik in mijn laatste studiejaar zit, ben ik erg flexibel en heb ik veel tijd om gezelschap te houden aan een harige vriend. Ik woon samen met een vriendin die fulltime in de gehandicaptenzorg werkt, dus overdag heb ik het rijk alleen. Mijn ervaring Dieren zijn er bij mij altijd geweest. Ik ben opgegroeid met twee honden: een vrolijke Boomer en een eigenwijze ruwharige terriër-mix. Ook heb ik tot een jaar geleden zelf een kat gehad en heb ik vaker opgepast, waaronder vaker gelogeerd waarbij ik o.a. een appartement met drie binnenkatten onder mijn hoede had. Ik weet dus precies hoe ik met verschillende dieren en karakters om moet gaan. Waarom ik? Locatie: Ik woon super centraal, maar ook dichtbij groen. Park Randenbroek is op loopafstand voor heerlijke, lange wandelingen. De tuin: Ik heb een fijne, volledig omheinde tuin van circa 28 m2 waar de hond veilig kan snuffelen. Extra fijn: de deuren van mijn slaapkamer slaan direct open naar de tuin, dus binnen en buiten lopen in elkaar over! Flexibel & Veel thuis: Omdat ik in de afrondende fase van mijn studie zit, ben ik vaak 4 tot 5 dagen per week vrij. Ik ben dus ook doordeweeks veel beschikbaar, ideaal voor honden die liever niet te lang alleen zijn. Wendbaar: Met mijn kleine maar fijne Twingo kom ik makkelijk naar jou toe, rijd ik naar de Soesterduinen voor een groot avontuur, of breng ik je viervoeter na het oppassen weer veilig thuis. Zie jij een match? Stuur me gerust een berichtje, dan plannen we een kennismaking in! (:

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid in een huis vol huisdieren en heb van jongs af aan veel ervaring met de verzorging van honden en katten. Wandelen met onze herdershond vond ik altijd heerlijk, waardoor ik gewend ben aan actieve en langere wandelingen. Ik heb vaak opgepast op katten van vrienden, zowel bij mij thuis als in hun eigen vertrouwde omgeving. Ik heb ervaring met het toedienen van medicatie bij honden en katten, ook wanneer zij dit spannend vinden. Grote honden zijn voor mij geen enkel probleem. Ik ben zorgzaam, geduldig en let goed op wat een dier nodig heeft, zodat elk huisdier zich veilig en prettig voelt! Ik werk parttime en ben de volledige dag beschikbaar op woensdag, vrijdag, zaterdag en zondag. Op maandag, dinsdag en donderdag ben ik eventueel beschikbaar vroeg in de ochtend (voor 8 uur, voor een uitlaat ronde) of 's avonds na 18:00. Ik heb een groot goed omheinde dakterras van 27m2. Hier is uw huisdier altijd welkom om te liggen, of te spelen. Maar binnen is natuurlijk ook alle ruimte. Ik heb op dit moment geen eigen huisdieren. Als u zelf een bench heeft is daar ruimte voor. Ik woon in een appartement gebouw waar een lift is, dus heeft uw huisdier moeite met traplopen is dat ook geen probleem. Ik woon pal naast een park waar je heerlijk kunt wandelen met de hond (of kat).

Over: Hi, I’m Jéssica! I’m originally from Brazil and recently moved to the Netherlands with my beloved rescue dog, Bonnie. She’s my best friend and came along on this new adventure! Pet sitting is a way for me to give Bonnie some company and make new furry friends along the way. I’ve loved dogs since I was a little girl and have been surrounded by them my whole life. You can be sure your dog will be treated with love, care, and plenty of playtime—just like part of the family. A quick note: I’m still learning Dutch, so my Dutch is pretty limited at the moment. But I’m happy to communicate in English (or Portuguese if you prefer)! I’d love to meet your pup and make them feel at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already have a dog, Bonnie. My husband and I walk her three times a day, feed her, play with her, and make sure she’s happy and healthy. We both work from home, so we’re always around to keep an eye on your dog and give them attention throughout the day. - Pets have full access to the house and our secure garden, so they can enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor playtime. - I provide fresh water at all times and follow the feeding schedule you provide. - Daily walks and play sessions are part of the routine to keep them happy and active. - I supervise interactions with my own dog, Bonnie, to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. - I send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing.

“Louise was such a find! She made Woezel feel safe from the get go, was flexible and understanding with arrangements, kept sending me pictures and updating me every day on how everything was going. Seeing him sleeping with his belly up I already knew he was having a great time! We will sure contact Louise for the next dates we need.”

“Marcela and Cristian are fantastic team - my baby was clearly in good hands. And as anxious doggie mum who was leaving him first time in a new place I got all the updates and photos - could not be happier with the experience!”

Over: Al sinds jongs af aan pas ik op honden van familie en vrienden. Ik hou heel erg van dieren, voornamelijk honden en geniet heel erg van hun persoonlijkheidjes. Ik heb een energieke labradoodle die ik zelf opgevoed heb. Ik snap snel wat een hond nodig heeft in de communicatie; soms is dat investeren, spelen en soms is dat rust en vertrouwen opbouwen en dat een hond vowlt dat ik niks van hem haar verwacht. Ik kan goed grenzen stellen, maar voor de meest dominante honden ben ik wellicht iets zacht. Daarom denk ik dat ik het meeste klik met honden die ook zachtheid nodig hebben. Momenteel studeer ik elke dag thuis. Ik ben dus flexibel en heb tijd voor spelen, knuffelen en wandelingen, zowel vaker korte of een lange uitgebreide. We wonen aan een park en een paar minuten lopen van het bos. Ik woon 1-hoog, en heb een terras waar jouw (en mijn) hond kan rondsnuffelen en bewegen. Mijn hond is heel speels, maar laat andere honden vaak ook gewoon hun gang gaan. Hij is gewend dat er honden over de vloer komen.

“Aanrader, Janneke en haar lieve kids waren een perfecte match voor onze Oddy. Hij heeft een supertijd gehad bij deze lieve mensen. Volgende keer weer :)”

“Jiena has provided the best care we could expect for our Cocker Spaniel Princesse: addressing particular needs and quickly building trust. Her home and husband Edwin are both very pet friendly, we in particular appreciated the lush garden, the flexibility and engagement shown for example by going on a run with Princesse and taking pictures and videos to reassure us while away. A big thanks and see you soon! Lisa and Romain for Princesse 🐕”

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

Over: I’ve been around dogs and other animals since I was born since my family has always been pet lovers. I have two Shih Tzus, Teo, who’s currently living with me, very calm and loves to sleep, and Monky, who's living back in Colombia with my mom and is still young and full of energy. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by walking, feeding, and spending time with their dogs. I’m used to handling dogs that pull on the leash and love figuring out what each dog needs to feel comfortable and happy. I was also living abroad for 6 months in the house of some family friends and when they travelled I would take care of their cat, so I can also say I have experience for taking care of other animals and I would love to give the best care to them. I study part-time, which means I have plenty of time during the day to care for dogs, specially since I live in campus and 2 minute walk from my university. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays if scheduled in advanced. I always try to make pets feel comfortable and safe, just like I would with my own. I follow their routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or playtime, and I always listen carefully to what the owner tells me. If a dog is active and playful, I’m happy to go for longer walks or spend time playing with them. If they’re more relaxed or older, I’m just as happy to sit with them, keep them company, and give them attention. I also live next to a green area, so walks are always calm and peaceful. My goal is to make each pet feel at home and well cared for.

Over: We’re Zlata & Alex — a couple who fell in love with pet sitting back home in Athens, Greece, and honestly never wanted to stop. Caring for animals, getting to know their personalities, and making them feel safe and loved is what we genuinely enjoy doing. Now in Hilversum and the Gooi region, we’d love to continue the same way: just the two of us, a calm, homey atmosphere, and flexible care that fits your pet’s routine. From forest walks on the Hoorneboegse Heide, lakeside strolls around Loosdrecht, to relaxed time in cozy neighborhoods and plenty of cuddles at home — we treat every pet as if they were our own. 🐾 Wij zijn Zlata & Alex — een stel dat in Athene, Griekenland, verliefd werd op oppassen op huisdieren en daar eigenlijk nooit mee wilde stoppen. Zorgen voor dieren, hun persoonlijkheden leren kennen en hen een veilig en geliefd gevoel geven, is wat we met heel ons hart doen. Nu in Hilversum en het Gooi willen we dit graag op dezelfde manier voortzetten: met z’n tweeën, in een rustige, huiselijke sfeer en met flexibele zorg die past bij het ritme van jouw dier. Van boswandelingen op de Hoorneboegse Heide en rond het Loosdrechtse Plassengebied tot ontspannen wandelingen in gezellige buurten en natuurlijk veel knuffels thuis — we behandelen elk dier alsof het ons eigen is. 🐾 I work as a tour guide on a 0 hour contract and a bike tour courier once a week for 6 hours. My husband Alex also works as bike courier. We both have flexible hours and are free to arrange our schedule as we see fit. Ik werk als gids op een nulurencontract en één keer per week als fietstour-courier voor 6 uur. Mijn man Alex werkt ook als fietscourier. We hebben allebei flexibele uren en kunnen ons rooster zelf indelen zoals we willen. In my flat, pets get a calm, cozy space with plenty of attention, regular walks or playtime, and their usual routine as much as possible, so they feel safe and settled. In an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, stick to feeding and walk schedules, give lots of affection, and make sure everything stays clean, secure, and stress-free while they’re away.

“We had a wonderful experience with Begoña. She took great care of our rescue dog, who has some allergies and requires a little extra attention. Communication was very smooth from start to finish—she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog looked happy and relaxed in every update, and it’s clear he had a great time with her. We’re so grateful for the care and love she provided. Highly recommended!”

Over: Since I was young, dogs have always been by my side. One was purchased, and three others were adopted; the current one is 12 years old. I can’t bear to take her on frequent long trips, so she’s being well cared for by my parents now. I’m very experienced in taking care of unfamiliar dogs of all ages. I already have pet-sitting experience here in the Netherlands. Some from another App. The customers I’ve served have all been very satisfied. Dogs have brought so much emotional support to me and my family, helping me through many difficult times. Now that I’m living in the Netherlands and working on my thesis while job hunting and making future plans, which, I admit, can sometimes feel quite depressing. So, I truly hope to have dog companions in my life here. That’s why I’d love to offer my time as a dog sitter. My current schedule is very flexible, and I have plenty of time to be with your puppy, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I live in a studio near the end of a quiet hallway. Even delivery people never ring the bell😂. There’s an elevator in the building, so your doggy won’t need to climb stairs, which is especially good for their joints. After every pet stay, I always clean the space thoroughly and do laundry to keep everything fresh and hygienic. Downstairs, there are plenty of green areas and small parks, including two especially for dogs. Your pet will have a great time here, both indoors and outdoors!

“Laura en Sebastián zijn hele lieve oppassers. Poppie voelde zich heel erg thuis. Ik zag ook de genegenheid van beide naar Poppie toe. Zou Poppie zo weer brengen.”

“Fantastische ervaring! Erik en Joyce hebben op onze bulldog gepast en regelmatig updates en foto's verzonden. Hij heeft het heel erg naar zijn zin gehad en gespeeld met hun lieve hondje.”

Over: I grew up with dogs, so I’ve had experience caring for them from a young age. At home, my parents had a sweet Cavalier King Charles, and now they have an energetic Ridgeback that I’ve also looked after regularly. Because of that, I have experience with both small, calm dogs and larger, stronger breeds. But well… they live in Portugal now, and I really miss having dogs around. I’m patient, caring and I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing or cuddling. I work part-time and I’m flexible! I would just appreciate it if things are communicated in advance so I can plan around my job. I choose my own working hours, after all 😊 I have a large enclosed community garden. (So if the weather is nice) me and your dog can always play there. Unless you prefer otherwise ofcourse.

Over: Hello! I am currently doing a Master’s degree in Animal Sciences (Animal Nutrition). My passion for animals inspired me to choose this field of study, and I have gained professional knowledge in pet nutrition, feed formulation, and animal behavior.

I grew up with a lovely cat named Bao, who has been my companion for many years. Although I do not keep a dog permanently, I have over one year of experience in dog sitting here in the Netherlands. During this time, I have cared for different breeds including Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and especially a Shih Tzu named Cola, whom I looked after for around six months. Cola was full of energy (you cannot imagine how such a small dog can be so energetic!), so I walked him three times a day, went jogging together, and visited the dog park twice a week. Since he was not neutered, I was always very attentive to him and other dogs played with him.

I live in a comfortable 30 m² apartment in Wageningen, right next to a big forest and only 500 m away from a pet park. Pets in my care will have plenty of space and opportunities for outdoor activities. As I spend most of my time studying from home, I have lots of time to give dogs and cats the love, attention, and exercise they need. According to each pet’s needs and unique situation, I take care of them based on their habits and make sure their needs are met everyday. In general, I walk dogs at least three times a day, and since I study from home, I can provide plenty of companionship — for example, by hiding treats and playing with toys.

“It was such a relief to meet Christa! To find her such a lovely and responsible person, I could absolutely trust her with my dog. He’s quite a tough dog to handle with lots of precautions, but she was perfectly able to deal with him and fully respected all my rules with discipline. They got along very well, and I was impressed - especially it was my first time ever to leave my dog with a stranger. Christa was also easy to communicate with, responsive, sent me updates and was flexible. I will go exclusive from here on out!”

“Vatsala and Ayan are perfect sitters for our dogs. It was our first time using sitters and they were very responsive to our questions, very loving to our dogs and punctual. We hope to see them again soon!”

Over: I’ve grown up with animals, dogs, cats, birds, even a pony, so caring for pets is second nature. I’ve cared for my own dogs (one for 11 years, traveling together) and for pets from other families. I treat every animal as if they were my own, understanding their personality, needs, and energy. From walks to playtime and comfort, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I integrate pet care naturally into my daily routine: walks, playtime, meals, and attention are all scheduled around work and personal commitments, ensuring your pet gets consistent care and love every day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. Pets receive individualized attention, regular feeding, playtime, and affection according to their routine and personality. I make sure they feel secure, and happy.
