Hondenoppas in Scherpenzeel

Over: Ask anyone who knows me – if there's a pet around, I'm glued to it. I'm 27, master's student, responsible, flexible. No pet yet (still dreaming!), but lucky to care for yours. 🐶 My Dog experience I've taken care of a baby Shiba multiple times, which taught me how much patience and joy puppies bring. In Wageningen, I've done some daycare, boarding (a Teckel for one night, a Labrador for six days), and many walks. For boarding at my place, I prefer house-trained dogs because I live in student accommodation. On walks, I'll need a sturdy leash and snacks if your dog isn't friendly with others, I'll be careful to avoid other dogs too. 🐱 My Cat experience Living with a roommate's two cats for a whole year changed me. I went from not knowing much about cats to truly loving their company every day. I also cared for a friend's three cats during her vacation (feeding, medicine, and cleaning). In Wageningen, I've done multiple home visits. For boarding at my place, your cat can stay in my room or explore the corridor. 💕 My style I give cuddles but also space. I read animal body language carefully and never force interaction. Safety always comes first. I can give medicine if you provide clear instructions (paper or PDF for anything complex). 🏠 House sitting & doggy day care I live in student housing with roommates, but I'm the only one who will care for your pet. My typical day: morning feed, then a long walk plus ball play, then nap. Some dogs need three walks (afternoon and before bed). For cats: litter, grooming, play, and evening feed. Evenings are for movies, pets are very welcome on my bed, even big dogs, for lap time and cuddles. 📸 Updates I never leave pets alone for long periods. I'll send regular photos so you can relax. Since I can't have my own pet yet, I truly look forward to caring for yours. Walks, boarding, sitting, vacation care – whatever works for you. Walks & cat home visits: I'm available before and after classes, and often can work from home too. My schedule is adaptable, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. My home & roommates I live on a student floor, and my roommates have given me permission to bring a pet. It's completely allowed and not a disturbance. The dog or cat will stay in my room. When I go to the kitchen, they might see my roommates (who usually enjoy it) but I'm the only one taking care of them! :) Preferences I prefer dogs that are house-trained because I live in a building. For cats, they are welcome to stay in my room or explore the corridor if they are comfortable doing so. Dog walks – what I need from you Please provide a sturdy leash and snacks in case your dog is not comfortable around other dogs. In that situation, I always change streets or take an alternate route when I see another dog approaching. Updates In all cases, I will send you regular photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

Over: I grew up around all kinds of animals (cats, dogs, bunnies and duckies) so l love every type of furry friend! Since I moved away from Greece, I miss every day my family dog but I find joy in taking care my friend's and colleague's pets while they are away and I love every second of it. I work hybrid, so my schedule is quite flexible with most days working remotely at home. Always happy to have a furry company to spend the day together and going for walks during my lunch break. I don't own other pets so my attention will be focused on treating your pet as part of the family. There is plenty of space for a bed, toys and all things to make the transition as smooth as possible.

“Het was de eerste keer voor mijn pup om bij een vreemde te logeren .. het was een mooie leerzame middag bedankt daarvoor tot de volgende 🐾 groetjes Laki 🐾”

“Super positive experience. She sent us a video of our dog during the weekend. Extra special because we adopted our dog in Spain and trained her in Spanish”

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: Hello! I am Evridiki, from Greece and I am living in the Netherlands for the last 7 years, so is by now my second home. I am more than happy to take care of your dog(s) or cats and I can remember every detail of the instructions that will be given. I am really positive and I would like to help as much as possible. After all, its a win win since I can spend some time with adorable pets. Myself I was surrounded by two beautiful cats but they dont live with me anymore since I moved away. Let me know what you need and maybe we can arrange something. Very flexible and willing to work with you. See you soon 🐾 Im currently working in retail / famous clothing brand most afternoons. Usually free on weekends and Monday but I can always take care of your pets before and after work. I always listen to instructions. I usually dont leave doors open and on daily walks i never leave a dog unattended. Cats are always advised to stay inside.

“Onze Jack Russell Jip heeft het geweldig naar haar zin gehad. Laura en haar vriend hebben haar veel aandacht gegeven en spelletjes gedaan, maar wel rekening gehouden met de beperkingen van een 14-jaar oude dame. Laura hield ons goed op de hoogte via Whatsapp met leuke foto's. We gaan Jip zeker nog eens langsbrengen -:)”

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.

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.

“I highly recommend Maria! She took excellent care of my dog and provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well looked after, and clearly received lots of attention and care. She was reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely love animals. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my dog! 🐾❤️”

“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 🐕”

“So grateful to these two for how well they took care of my fur child. They’re caring, prompt with communication and just genuinely lovely people! I’d absolutely take them up to look after Lumos again.”

Over: Wij zijn een internationaal stel en echte hondenliefhebbers. Sinds een jaar hebben we onze eigen Labradoodle (1 jaar en 4 maanden), waarmee we drie puppycursussen hebben gevolgd. Hij is sociaal, energiek en gewend om dagelijks met andere honden om te gaan. We gaan elke dag naar het hondenpark waar hij minimaal 30 tot 60 minuten losloopt en speelt. In het weekend maken we graag langere wandelingen in het bos of de natuur. Het lijkt ons leuk om dit ook met andere honden te doen die goed sociaal zijn en genieten van beweging en aandacht. We hebben ervaring met honden van jongs af aan—van een Jack Russell in onze jeugd tot nu onze eigen hond. We begrijpen hoe belangrijk het is dat jouw hond zich veilig, ontspannen en gezien voelt. Daarom geven we persoonlijke aandacht en zorgen we voor een fijne, actieve dag. We spreken Engels thuis, maar ook Nederlands is geen probleem. Belangrijk: We passen het beste op honden die sociaal zijn met andere honden en zich comfortabel voelen in een actieve, open omgeving. Wij werken beide fulltime, maar in de weekenden zijn we vrijwel altijd thuis en actief met onze hond. In het dagelijks leven staan we vroeg op voor een goede ochtendwandeling, gevolgd door eten en voldoende rust. Over de dag verspreid gaan we elke 2 tot 4 uur naar buiten voor korte rondes, en maken we dagelijks minimaal één langere wandeling van 30 tot 60 minuten in een losloopgebied. Onze eigen hond (een jonge, energieke Labradoodle) gaat vaak mee naar een kantoor vlak naast ons appartement, waardoor hij zelden alleen is. In de weekenden richten we ons volledig op de honden: lange wandelingen, spelen en aandacht staan centraal. Jouw hond zal dus volop beweging, structuur en gezelschap krijgen. Wij wonen in een rustige, hondvriendelijke omgeving met veel wandelmogelijkheden in de buurt, waaronder een losloopgebied waar honden veilig kunnen rennen en spelen. Ons appartement is compact (ongeveer 50 m²), maar doordat we meerdere keren per dag naar buiten gaan en dagelijks lange wandelingen maken, krijgen honden ruim voldoende beweging en prikkels. Onze eigen hond is sociaal en gewend om met andere honden om te gaan, wat zorgt voor een fijne en speelse sfeer. We vinden het belangrijk dat elke hond zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Daarom houden we rekening met het karakter, energieniveau en de behoeften van jouw hond. We bieden structuur, duidelijke routines en voldoende rustmomenten naast het spelen en wandelen. Voor de veiligheid letten we goed op interacties tussen honden en kiezen we bewust voor honden die sociaal zijn en goed samen kunnen. Indien nodig kunnen we honden gescheiden houden of extra rust bieden.

“Kon op voorhand een keer met Onyx langskomen om te kijken. Onyx voelde zich direct op zijn gemak en Guusje kon goed met hem overweg. Alles is volgens afspraak verlopen.”

Over: Hello! My name is Jiayi, and I would be delighted to look after your pet. My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from my love for animals and the joy I get from spending time with them. Pet sitting is a wonderful opportunity for me to spend my free time doing something I truly enjoy while also earning some extra income. I charge very low because I’m still new in pet sitting, but with all my heart, I will not break your trust ❤️ I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and welcoming environment. This is my first time offering pet-sitting services professionally, I have experience caring for pets belonging to friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how important it is to be patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I take pride in being a caring and trustworthy person, and I treat pets with the same kindness that I would give my own. For the health and safety of all pets, I only accept vaccinated animals into my home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work from home most days, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. On weekends, I have a flexible schedule and am available all day to give pets extra attention and care. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care requirements to ensure they receive personalized attention. As I work from home most days, your pet will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep fresh water available at all times, and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“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.”
