Hondenopvang Schiedam

Over: Hello, guardians! I've always had animals since I was a child from large dogs to small mongrels. I've always loved animals, they are pure and we are lucky to have them around ☆ I've had 6 dogs with my family at the same time, not to mention all the others that came and went. I loved each and every one of them and they had a beautiful life! Now that I've moved here (I'm Brazilian and we're adapting and preparing to get another pet, but due to numerous trips, it's not the right time). So I think it's a great time to take care of animals in need when their owners can't be around! I'll try to get to know your pet and play with him in the way he likes, whether it's playing tag, fetching a ball or biting toys For those who aren't too restless, they will get affection and peace ♡ |'ll be very happy to take care of your pet, I'll give him all the affection I would give him if I could have an animal again. I work part-time as an artist, so I’m home most of the time and can give your pet plenty of attention. My husband also works from home, so there will be two people around to play with and walk your dog. We take quick potty breaks every three hours and go for one long walk in the late afternoon. And if you need only walks, I can come to your home for longer walks at whatever time works for you I don't have pets at home, and I only accept one pet at a time. Therefore, your dog will truly be the center of attention. Free access to the house, beds, and sofa. (unless you don't like it in your home, in which case I'll follow the same routine he's already used to)

“From our initial communication, Ely demonstrated a clear dedication to making Lolly’s stay optimal. Despite a necessary reduction in the service duration for medical reasons, she maintained daily communication regarding Lolly's overall well-being and adaptation. This is an exceptional service that I highly recommend.”

“Peachy stayed with Maria for 18 days, and I’m so happy with the care she received. It was my first time leaving Peachy with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous, but Maria made me feel very calm and reassured while I was away. She gave regular updates, was very attentive to Peachy, and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’m very grateful that Maria took such good care of Peachy.”

Over: Hi, I’m Elodie ! I’m 25 years old, I’m French, and I speak both French and English. I absolutely love animals, and I’d be happy to take care of your pet and give them all the attention they need while you’re away. 🐶🐱💛 I grew up with my cat Louna, who now lives with my parents in France. I miss her a lot, so spending time with other animals is also a lovely way for me to have some animal company in my everyday life. I’ve always loved cats, but I also really love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. Before moving here, I was already a pet sitter in France through platforms like this one. So I’m used to taking care of pets, respecting their routines, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. 🥰 I’m a responsible, gentle, caring and reliable person. I know that every pet has their own personality and little habits. Some love cuddles, others prefer their own space, and some need lots of playtime or long walks… I adapt to each pet and take the time to build a trusting relationship with them. 🐾 I also know that leaving your pet with someone isn’t always easy. That’s why I take your trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s routine, and I’ll be happy to keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can enjoy your time away without worrying. 📸 I simply want your pet to feel loved, safe and well looked after while you’re away. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to know more! I’m also flexible with booking dates. 😊 At the moment, I’m not working, which means I can dedicate my time to taking care of your pets. I have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to different dates and routines. I’m available for walks, visits, day care or longer stays, depending on what you and your pet need. I don’t have any pets at home, so if your pet stays with me, they will have my full attention and won’t have to share the space with other animals. There is also a large green park right downstairs from my building, which is perfect for walks and some fresh air, especially for dogs. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and routine. Whether they need lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet and comfortable place to relax, I’ll do my best to make them feel at home.

“Miguel and Gaby are super dog sitters. Roef was not the easiest guest, lying in front of the door for hours waiting for me. With patience and love and going out with him he finally relaxed and when I came back to pick him up he hardly looked at me. He was playing with Miguel. I can certainly recommend them.”

“Ons hondje is een week bij Carla gebleven. Carla was heel lief met hem en gauw voelde ons hondje zich helemaal op z’n gemak. Carla bracht hem om te wandelen en stuurde elke dag een update met foto’s. Duidelijk was te zien hoe goed de band tussen beide was. Carla is zeker 5 sterren waard.”

“Rojin was the perfect companion for our dog while we went on vacation alone for the first time. She sent us great updates throughout and of course our dog came home happy and healthy.”

Over: Im in love with animals and would wanna always try my best to keep them safe, happy and loved as they deserve it. I do not have that much experience in serious pet sitting but I have always been around pets and have taken care of them and played with them quite a lot. Usually i have good experience with them and pets love me:)<3 My previous roommate and I used to have a cat and pet sit together sometimes, dogs as well. However in my new apartment, i just have one room (25m2) and is perhaps not the best living situation for especially bigger dogs. Otherwise small quiet pets is doable still at my place. You can find the photos in my gallery. I have a small balcony which is nice and our front door is a closed off open area. But inside the house would be mainly in my bedroom✨ But i am more than happy to take care of them in their own home and spoil them or whatever is needed. I can be quite flexible with my time. I need more pets and animals around me as i miss it:')) Ik spreek ook goed Nederlands :) I have a part time job which is mainly during evenings until midnight ish, sometimes i go to my art studio to work there which I differs the time schedule, but it is a big space and sometimes I can bring pets with me as well:) as long as they re known to be more on the quiet side hahaa. For the rest I sometimes have classes that I attend to or am with friends, but I eventually always come back home within 3 hours max, I live also quite close to Rotterdam centraal which is nice. I have a partner that stays over sometimes and then we both take care of the pet as well which we love:)))<3 Now I only have one bedroom space with a pet proof balcony for myself, I have a kitchen next to my room and a bathroom upstairs. Enough space for a pet to wander around but also not so big for a bigger dog for example. I also have a closed off front door terrace which is also nice:)) and a little park literally next to my house yey. I am quite flexible being at a pet owners house which I understand sometimes that might be easier for a pet. When it is good weather I can walk or bike to that place if its around my area, otherwise I go with transport (I would charge the transport a bit as well since those are expensive :')) I respect the houserules ofcourse and will let the pet owner know about any updates and news:)))<3

Over: Hello! I'm Candela. :)
I’ve been passionately caring for pets since 2023, but my love for animals goes much further back. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets my entire life, especially cats, and they have always had a special place in my heart. I don’t just look after them… I truly adore them.
Whether you need daily drop-in visits (as many as your cats need), overnight house sitting, or a cozy stay at my place, I’m happy to adapt to whatever works best for your furry family. I believe every pet deserves not only food and water, but also real attention, playtime, gentle cuddles and a calm, loving presence.
I take the time to truly connect with each animal. I send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your cats are happy, safe and receiving lots of love while you’re away. Reliable, attentive and always putting their well-being first, that’s my pinky promise. 🩷
I adapt to your pet's routine with a lot of love and attention to detail.
Your cutie pet will be treated like family. Let’s make sure they feel just as loved when you’re not home! Caring for pets is an essential part of my daily routine. Each day, I set aside specific times for feeding, play, and exercise to ensure pets stay happy and healthy. I make it a priority to give them my full attention, whether it’s during walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship. On a weekly basis, I also plan time for any extra tasks like grooming, cleaning their space, and making sure they have everything they need. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to the specific needs of each pet and their routines. I offer pet care either in my home or by providing dog-walking services. When pets stay at my home, I make sure they have a comfortable, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible to help them feel at home. For dog-walking services, I ensure they get the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need, adjusting each walk to their energy level and preferences. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and well-cared for, whether they’re with me at home or out on a walk.

“Zuzanna took such great care of my two cats and you can really tell how much she loves looking after them. It was comforting to see the three of them in a cuddle pile while I was away!”

“Jacques heeft het ontzettend naar haar zin gehad bij Alba. Vanaf het eerste moment voelde het vertrouwd en het was duidelijk dat zij echt een groot hart heeft voor honden. Tijdens het verblijf kreeg ik regelmatig updates en foto’s, wat veel vertrouwen gaf. Bij het ophalen merkte ik meteen dat ze een leuke tijd had gehad. Ik kan Alba van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die een betrouwbare en lieve hondenoppas zoekt. Jacques komt graag nog eens terug!”

“Het contact met Thomas betreffende Finnley kunnen wij van begin tot eind alleen maar als positief ervaren. Regelmatig contact dat het goed ging met Finnley, lekker lopen en zwemmen in de Kralingse Plas. Weet zeker dat Finnley het goed heeft gehad, en dat is de bedoeling. Je laat met een gerust hart je huisdier achter...”

Over: Hi everyone! My name is Charmaine 😊 

I have long-term experience with dogs. I grew up in Kenya, where my parents’ have always had dogs, and since I was around 10, I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies of different breeds, from Golden Retrievers to Malteses. I have experience with feeding, walking, giving oral medication, grooming, basic training, and raising puppies.

 I now live in Rotterdam (Delfshaven area) and don’t have any dogs of my own here yet, but I love them, which is one reason I joined this platform!

 One thing that makes me a bit different from many sitters is that I usually only take care of one pet at a time and don’t have pets of my own. So if your dog is uncomfortable/anxious around other dogs or just prefers having all the attention, that's no problem. Of course, I’m happy to look after social dogs too!

 I work full-time in climate policy research, but I mainly work from home and only go to the office a maximum of once a week. My schedule is also very flexible, so I can take dogs out throughout the day, usually around four times: morning, lunchtime, late afternoon, and before bed. I live in an apartment but have figured out lots of different green walking routes nearby.

 I don’t leave dogs home alone. If I ever need to step outside, my partner, who also loves dogs, will be there to take care of them.

 I know every dog is different and that you’ve probably created a routine that works best for them. Please tell me! I always do my best to stick to it to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

 I’ll also send daily updates of what we’re up to, so you can have peace of mind.

 If you’d like to book with me, I’d be happy to hear from you! I know it can feel scary leaving your dog with a stranger, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand.

 Looking forward to meeting you and your pup🐾 I work full-time, but from home. I go to the office only once a week, mainly on Tuesdays but this is flexible and I can go whichever day works for my schedule. This schedule allows me to be home to do pet care. My work schedule is also flexible throughout the day because the organisation I work for is very laid back, so I am able to regularly take dogs out for walks/to go potty throughout the day. My partner goes to work most days but has an irregular schedule so if I need to step out e.g., to do groceries, he would be home to take over the pet care for that time. I live in a fairly spacious apartment and have a park across the road where I would take the dogs in my care for walks. There are also multiple other green walking routes in my neighbourhood. I‘m very respecful of owners routines for their pet and would follow instructions closely.

“I left my old doggo with Vanessa and l did not regretted. She had an amazing time while l was gone. Vanessa is amazing, friendly, kind, careful and professional and listen to whatever she needs to know about your dog. She is the best pet sitter l ever had. I can definitely recommend her and l think my dog would too if she could talk ♥️”

Over: ik heb altijd al huisdieren gehad, sinds 6 jaar woon ik op mezelf en krijg ik elke dag veel liefde van mijn kat Bobbie. Ik heb oppaservaring van kittens tot grote honden en heb altijd snel een klik met de diertjes Momenteel werk ik 2 dagen thuis, in deze dagen heb ik tijd om wat extra's voor anderen te doen en ze zo te helpen Ik heb zelf een lieve Kat, die overal in huis lekker mag spelen. Ook is zij erg lief met andere dieren, dus dat moet goedkomen!

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid met een hond en mis het gezelschap soms nog steeds. Omdat ik niet vaak genoeg thuis ben voor een eigen hond, vind ik het heel leuk om af en toe op een hond te passen. Ik zorg graag voor lange wandelingen, aandacht, spelletjes en natuurlijk veel knuffels, zodat jouw hond zich helemaal thuis voelt. Ik werk fulltime, maar wel dicht bij huis. Met name in de avonden en weekenden heb ik tijd om op een hond te passen of een hond uit te laten. Ik woon in een fijn appartement met balkon op Noordereiland. Wel op de derde verdieping en zonder lift, dus traplopen of optillen is wel een eis. Uitlaten kan natuurlijk altijd!
