Dagopvang Utrechtse Heuvelrug

“You can tell Lotte and her boyfriend are genuine dog lovers. Rio absolutely adored them! They took excellent care of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely book with them again.”

“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.”

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: 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: 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.

“Dheeraj is a very kind and available guy, my dog looked comfortable with him (it was the first time for my dog). He sent me updated with videos. I recommend him :)”

Over: I am friendly, kind and very good with animals. I have looked after stray animals for all of my life, and I have looked after 2 beautiful cats for more than 7 years. I have been providing animal care on these sorts of platforms since 2025. I am very experienced with difficult and not-so-friendly cats, also with administrating oral medication. I don’t mind when it comes to breed, size, and/or age, all animals are welcome with me. I have a followed a grooming course where I learned how to wash, dry, and style many dog breeds and cats. I will make sure to play with them, perform tricks, and go on potty breaks as often as needed. Feel free to contact me for any bookings and questions! I’m currently working part time 2 days a week in the afternoon/evening, and by the time I’m gone my boyfriend comes home pretty soon therefore there is almost always someone in the house. I kindly ask my clients to bring over any food, toys, beds etc. that the pet needs so that we can create a familiar environment for them and make them feel as safe and happy as possible. Of course, we make sure to keep around some treats in the house for our visitors ;) When I am at a client’s house, I make sure to respect the environment that I am in and make sure to keep/leave it clean. Additionally, I like taking care of plants in my house so if you have any in yours that needs to be watered, I can take care of that too!

“Fijne oppas plek! Rick heeft tijd en aandacht voor de hond en zorgt er goed voor. Onze Luz komt er graag!”

Over: Hello :)! I’m Naomi! I know how tough it can be to leave your pets, but rest assured they’ll be in great hands with me. I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and having a good time while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat them like family. Can’t wait to meet your furry pet and give them all the love they deserve! <3 As part of my job, I spend a lot of time sitting so I am always happy to walk after working hours. Even better if can do it petting a dog/cat. My schedule is 9 to 18:30 during weekdays and full availability on weekends. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Whether they need lots of activity or a calm companion, I’ll keep their routine so they feel right at home!

“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.”

Béatrice V.

Over: Both of us are currently working from home, and our schedules allow us to be flexible to care for your pet. There will always be 2 pairs of watchful eyes on your pet and we will never leave them unattended even if they are sleeping. We also love taking walks in nature, so we would be very happy to walk your dog and spend time with them outdoors. Our weekends are very flexible, so we are open to also watching your pets for a longer duration! We have a quiet apartment, with plenty of space for the pets to run around and play. As we regularly pet-sit, we always ensure that the pet has the water bowl filled, and a cozy corner with their toys and blanket. We make sure that our balcony is closed, and all decorative objects in the house are out-of-reach. We love playing and cuddling with the pets and always keep a constant eye on them and send photo/video updates to the pet parents.

“Marcela and Cristian are amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took wonderful care of Maqui with love and attention. Their communication was great, and they were playful, caring, and kind. I fully trust them and will definitely leave Maqui with them again💯🩷🐶”

Tatiana S.

“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.”

Over: Ik neem de tijd om het gedrag en voorkeuren van jouw huisdier te leren kennen en stem de wandelingen en oppasmomenten daarop af. Baasjes kunnen rekenen op duidelijke communicatie en regelmatige updates, zodat je altijd met een gerust hart weet hoe het met je maatje gaat. Met mijn enthousiasme, geduld en liefde voor dieren zorg ik voor een veilige én leuke ervaring, elke keer opnieuw. Momenteel heb ik een flexibel leven, ik heb weinig tot geen vaste verplichtingen gedurende de week. Wegens meerdere enkeloperaties heb ik afscheid moeten nemen van mijn hockeycarriere en dus vaste verplichtingen gedurende de avonden en weekenden. Wel werk ik fulltime maar is de mogelijkheid daar om thuis te werken. Voor mijn werk moet ik af en toe wel eens naar een klant of kantoor, het kan dus voorkomen dat het huisdier een ochtend of middag alleen is. Ik zorg voor genoeg aandacht, speeltijd en knuffels, maar ook voor rust wanneer dat nodig is. Uiteraard let ik goed op voeding, water en eventuele speciale verzorging die belangrijk is voor jouw huisdier. Jouw viervoeter krijgt bij mij de zorg en liefde alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is.

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.

“Chester had a great time with Mylene, she spent time to help him be comfortable and settle and took him several walks. Each day he was excited to return.”

Over: Many of my friends and neighbours come to me for pet sitting - dogs and cats. I send them pictures every day, and the owners often say that their pets look so happy with me!! I'm gentle while firm, and will help your little animal stick to the rules and training, while giving them so much love that they deserve. I also have experience taking care of rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets. I work from home fully, so very flexible with my schedule and open to adapting to the needs of your little one. A typical schedule - 08:00 - a morning leg stretch; 12:00 - a bit of running in the neighbourhood park; 18:00 - a digestive walk to the lush dog park; 22:00 - a chill evening stroll. I have a big enough apartment for 3~5 animals, and they'll have plenty of space to run around! Your little animal will be allowed on furniture and the whole apartment, but not on the bed

“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: I’ve always been around dogs and have had my own for as long as I can remember. Friends and family often trust me to look after their dogs, and many of them stay at my home. I’m comfortable with different breeds and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for I work from home with a flexible schedule and I make sure to walk the dogs at least three times every day. I also have a backyard where the dogs can play and run around freely. I have a garden at home where dogs can safely play and relax. I also live in a calm area with plenty of parks, perfect for walks. I have a very friendly dog who loves the company of other dogs, so your pet will always feel comfortable and welcome.

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.
