Dagopvang Soest

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: Van jongs af aan ben ik gek op honden! Liefst honden waar je lang mee kunt wandelen, rennen en spelen. Energiek. Ik ben via mijn ouders, familie en vrienden veel in aanmerking gekomen met honden. Pas nu ook regelmatig op en loop met een hond voor de organisatie Dierenbuddy. Momenteel zit ik tussen twee banen in en ben ik meer thuis. Ik doe vrijwilligerswerk, maar heb veel uren over. Deze besteedt ik al veel buiten (in het bos). Aangezien ik veel van honden houd hoop ik die twee te kunnen combineren! Ik woon in een appartement op steenworp afstand van een hondenlosloopgebied. Voor een langere wandeling steek ik zo door naar het grote bos Den Treek. Thuis zou een hond ook even kunnen vertoeven, maar we gaan natuurlijk vooral naar buiten.

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: /NEDERLANDS Ik ben opgegroeid met dieren en heb door de jaren heen voor allerlei huisdieren gezorgd, waaronder katten, honden, papegaaien, vissen en konijnen. Daarnaast heb ik jarenlang paardgereden. Op latere leeftijd heb ik meer dan 10 jaar mijn eigen agapornissen gehad (lovebirds), waardoor ik veel ervaring heb opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, verantwoordelijkheid en het begrijpen van de behoeften van een huisdier. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen huisdieren meer en ik merk dat ik het gezelschap van dieren erg mis. Daarom vind ik oppassen op huisdieren zo leuk. Regelmatig pas ik op de dieren van familie en vrienden, en ik geniet er echt van om tijd met dieren door te brengen. Of jouw huisdier nu houdt van lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon een vertrouwd gezicht in huis, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt! /ENGLISH I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for many different pets over the years, including cats, dogs, parrots, fish, and rabbits. I also spent many years horse riding. Later in life, I had my own lovebirds (agapornis parrots) for more than 10 years, which gave me plenty of experience with daily pet care, responsibility, and understanding the needs of animals. At the moment, I don't have any pets of my own anymore, and I really miss having animals around. That's one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much. I regularly look after pets for family and friends, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. /NEDERLANDS Ik werk 36 uur per week en werk 2 à 3 dagen vanuit huis. De dagen die als beschikbaar staan aangegeven op mijn profiel zijn de dagen waarop ik thuiswerk. Omdat mijn werk vrij flexibel is, heb ik gedurende de dag genoeg tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, eten geven en natuurlijk veel aandacht en knuffels voor jouw huisdier. In de weekenden heb ik alle tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan de verzorging en het gezelschap van jouw huisdier. Jouw huisdier zal nooit tekortkomen aan aandacht, beweging, liefde en een fijne omgeving :) /ENGLISH I work a 36-hour week and work from home 2–3 days during the week. The days marked as available on my profile are the days I work from home. Because my job is quite flexible, I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course giving your pet lots of attention and affection. During weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pet's care and company. Your pet will never be short on attention, cuddles, or exercise while staying with us :) /NEDERLANDS Ik woon in een modern nieuwbouwappartement in een rustige omgeving. Mijn woning is schoon, veilig en comfortabel, met een ruim stenen balkon dat volledig is afgesloten met glazen wanden, waardoor huisdieren veilig kunnen genieten van frisse lucht en zon. /ENGELS I live in a modern, newly built apartment in a quiet area. My home is clean, safe, and comfortable, with a spacious stone balcony enclosed by glass panels where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

“My pup gets so excited to go over to Stefanie and Sam! They clearly take great care of him and are very attentive to him. We are grateful to them!”

Over: As a lifelong animal lover living in Utrecht, I offer a calm and loving home where your pets will be treated like family. I work from home, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I've cared for both dogs and cats for friends and family over the years and truly enjoy spending time with them-whether it's a playful walk, a cuddle on the couch, or keeping them company when you're away. My home is safe, smoke-free, and is located accros the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal in Utrecht, which means plenty of green area for your best friend to play around. Whether it's for a weekend or a longer stay, you can count on me for reliable, loving care-and lots of updates! I work from home, so have plenty of time to exchange and play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on any day of the week. I provide care in a calm, smoke-free apartment with a beautiful view of the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal boulevard. My home is a safe and peaceful environment, with no children and no resident pets, so your pet will receive my full attention and comfort while staying here.

Over: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood. My family dog was reactive, so I’m experienced and calm with dogs of all temperaments. I now share my home with Waffles, a friendly toy poodle, so your dog will have a gentle companion. We live in a quiet ground-floor apartment with direct street access, making walks easy and stress-free. Neighbours, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets for years. I work from home full time, so I’m always around and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. We typically do 1 to 3 walks daily, with potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours as needed. Your dog will never be left alone for lon We live in a quiet ground-floor apartment with direct access to the street, making potty breaks quick and easy. Our home is shared with Waffles, a gentle and friendly toy poodle. I’m experienced with reactive dogs and know how to introduce dogs calmly and at their own pace. Your dog’s comfort and safety always comes first.

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.

Over: Since I was little I've cared for dogs, both big and small, and their puppy litters and I've also fostered stray puppies we've found and given them a safe home. Currently I have 2 lovely dogs (one Rhodesian ridgeback and 1 local breed) and 3 cats at home back in Tanzania with my parents. I'm a student taking a gap year before i enter university while also redoing some of my examinations, so I have ALOT of extra time on my schedule everyday. While I'm not studying Rover is an opportunity for me to mix my love for animals while keeping myself busy and exploring new areas of Utrecht that I have yet to see ( AND taking cute pets on walks because who wouldn't want that??!) i dont have any pets living with me at the moment since im in a new country but usually at home my pets are very free around the house as they're behaved fairly well and i take my dogs on regular walks and hang out with both my cats and dogs like i would with my own best friend.

Over: I grew up with pets (dogs and rodents) and have taken care of pets practically my whole life. 5 years ago, I took a wonderful boy called Charlie home from the shelter (you can see him in all of my pictures). He was already a bit older, and I was lucky to have him by my side for 4.5 years until he sadly passed away last October. I have a big heart for animals, and therefore miss taking care of a hairy friend! I have experience with taking care of both small and larger dogs, as well as senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I recently started a PhD and am therefore not home during work days (mo-fr). This is why I currently am not in the position of adopting a dog myself, but would love to take care of dogs on the weekends when I am home. When taking care of a dog I adjust my routine to meet the needs of the dog. I try to suit the needs of the animal and respect their boundaries. If they prefer to be lazy or alone, I give them space, if they prefer interaction and play, I give them attention. I feed them and walk them as agreed with the owner.

Over: In one line: dogs love me! Even the most “difficult” ones like me :) I spend a lot of time walking my dog Tronco, so I thought… why don’t I walk other dogs at the same time!? I work from home everyday and I walk my dog 4 times a day so I have plenty of time to walk yours too! Any questions please let me know My friendly dog will keep company to yours! Maybe they will even play :) otherwise I will make sure your furry friend is super chill at my home

Over: I've taken care of cats for 11 years, and can care for senior/sick cats too! Having grown up with two cats at home, I am used to feeding, grooming, toilet-training, medication-giving, and other tasks catering cats from babies to elderlies. I have two cats back in my hometown, but in my current place of residence (where your cats will be hosted if you request boarding), there are no pets. So feel free to request boarding even if your pet is shy! I'm currently between jobs, so I am home almost fulltime other than a few hours out a day. Therefore I can pay full attention and love for your cats if necessary. If your pets need vitamins or medications, I am comfortable and experienced with mixing it into their food or feeding them directly. I can tend to all of their needs, so feel free to detail your cat's personalities and preferences!

“Superleuke, lieve mensen en Gep voelde zich voor een eerste keer al voor zijn doen enorm op zijn gemak! Ik ben blij dat hij een fijn adresje heeft gevonden.”

Over: Altijd honden gehad maar ik heb nu geen tuin en vond dat een probleem. Masr ik ben gek op lang en veel eandelen en spelen met dr hond. Momenteel werk ik partime vanaf einde middag. Ik kan wandelen en oppassen op alle dagen van de week na 16.00 en in het weekend op hele dagen. Ik ga met de hond op stap na mooie bossen rond Utrecht. Verder lekker spelen met een bal al hij / zij dat leuk vind . Alles met mijn eigen auto.

Over: Je suis actuellement entre deux emplois, et j'ai beaucoup de temps libre pour m'occuper de vos animaux ! Selon votre demande, je peux essayer de m'adapter pour correspondre a vos horaires. Je suis assez flexible. Je vis dans une maison de 110m2 avec 2 étages supérieurs, qui offre des multitudes de d'options et de recoins pour se reposer. Il y a un jardin d'environ 40m2 avec de l'herbe, cloturé donc les chiens ne peuvent pas en sortir. (Si vous préferez que je garde votre animal a l'intérieur c'est aussi possible). J'ai un couffin pour animaux, une fontaine a eau et un distributeur de croquette. Juste derriere chez moi, il y a un tres grand parc arboré sans voitures, et un acces a une plage pour chien a 10/15 minutes a pied. Notez que nous vivons avec un chat de 16 ans (ok chiens et chats) ainsi que d'un enfant de 3 ans (ok chiens et chats).

“Maria is extraordinarily kind and communicative and took great care of my rescue Costa for the day. It’s obvious she provides a safe and stable place for dogs with difficulties because there were none despite Costa being in a brand new environment at her home. She kept me posted and is consistently polite and I can’t wait to trust her again with sitting my Costa.”

“Louise took great care of Charlie. He looked very relaxed and happy. We got loads of pics and updates from Louise on how Charlie is doing throughout the day. Louise was very flexible on pick up time as we were running late. Charlie and I are very happy with the experience!”

“First time I have my dog with anyone and I thought it will be very hard. Thank you both for being wonderful with him and for making this very easy and flexible ♥️🙏🏼”

Over: /Nederlands hieronder/ * I love taking pics so I’ll be sharing lovely moments with you;) * I stay at home with my partner most of time so your loved ones won’t feel bored for sure! *Sitter Pick-up & Drop-off available Let’s get to know me: Hi, I’m Ting! I’m originally from Taiwan and moved to Amsterdam in 2022. I currently live with my Dutch partner in a one-bedroom cozy spacious apartment, and we both love animals! We work/study from home most of the time, so we’d love to have some furry company—and offer your dog a warm, calm environment with plenty of attention. Being a pet sitter lets me share my love for animals while giving them the care and companionship they need when you’re away. - *Ik maak graag foto’s, dus ik zal de leuke momenten met je delen ;) *Ik ben meestal thuis met mijn partner, dus je lieveling zal zich zeker niet vervelen! *Ophalen en terugbrengen door de oppas beschikbaar Even voorstellen: Hoi, ik ben Ting! Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Taiwan en ben in 2022 naar Amsterdam verhuisd. Ik woon samen met mijn Nederlandse partner in een gezellige en ruime eenkamerappartement, en we zijn allebei dol op dieren! We werken/studeren meestal vanuit huis, dus we vinden het heerlijk om gezelschap van een viervoeter te hebben—en bieden je hond een warme, rustige omgeving met veel aandacht. Als dierenoppas kan ik mijn liefde voor dieren delen en ze de zorg en het gezelschap geven die ze verdienen als jij er even niet bent. My partner and I are both students at the moment, so our schedules are very flexible and we spend most of our time at home studying or working on assignments. This means we have plenty of time to be with your fur baby and give them lots of attention, care, and companionship! We care for pets in a safe, calm, and clean environment, either in our home or the owner’s home. We follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Pets are always supervised during playtime and walks, never left alone for long. We also carefully follow any instructions from the owner to ensure the best care.
