Dagopvang Velsen

Over: Ik kan erg goed omgaan met dieren, omdat ik zelf al heel mijn leven huisdieren heb.
Op dit moment heb ik drie katten en een vogel, maar vroeger ook cavia’s en konijnen gehad. Honden heb ik nu zelf niet, maar in de toekomst zou ik graag wel een hond willen. Ik heb daarentegen wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden, omdat vrienden en familie wel honden hebben. Of het nu gaat om katten knuffelen, een vogel verzorgen of met een hond wandelen, ik doe het allemaal graag met plezier en liefde. Uw huisdier is in goede handen bij mij. Ik heb op dit moment werk, maar ik ben erg goed in plannen! Samen kunnen we vast een geschikt moment vinden voor één van mijn aangeboden services. Ik heb zelf 3 katten en een vogel. Ik heb geen hond, maar ik heb wel ervaring met het uitlaten en spelen met honden. Ik ben erg zorgzaam en kan goed opletten.

Over: ** I have two cats - please don’t book the daycare service unless your dog is okay with that! ** Hi! I’m Zuza - a software developer in my 30s, working from home most of the week, which gives me lots of flexibility and time to look after pets 🐾. Animals and nature have always been a huge passion of mine - I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs & cats, as well as birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs at times, and now share my home in Haarlem with two lovely rescue cats. As a sitter, I’m responsible, adaptable, and attentive to the different needs and personalities pets can have 🐶🐱. I’ll make sure your companion feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with daily pictures and messages 📸. I work from home most of the week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care 🐾. I usually go into the office only twice a week (typically Wednesdays and Thursdays), but even that schedule can be adapted if needed. This means I’m around and available to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to keep a safe and pet-proofed environment, especially for indoor-only animals. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll always respect your space and follow the routines that keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ll strictly stick to any feeding or medication schedules you set out, and when it comes to dogs, I’ll carefully follow your instructions on how to handle them in public to make sure they’re safe and comfortable on every walk 🐕. Trust and consistency are key, and I’ll make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away.

“Picked up a very happy puppy. He seemed like he had a great time with very sweet and caring people. Thank you”

“Watson came home a happy dog. I think he had an absolute ball on his walks as he was totally out and asleep by 9PM. Happy Pup happy Mum. Anastasia is so kind and wonderful. She is willing to know everything about Watson's habits. I definitely will rebook with a daycare with Anastasia!!!!”

Over: Ik heb als kind zelf altijd honden gehad en ze ook altijd uitgelaten en veel met ze geknuffeld en gespeeld. Zelf hebben wij een chihuahua gehad die hebben we helaas moeten laten inslapen. Maar de liefde voor honden is er nog steeds mijn kindjes zijn ook gek op dieren. Ik werk in de zorg als zzp’er maar werk nooit hele lange uren achter elkaar kom tussen door altijd naar huis. Daarom hoeft de hond nooit langer dan 4 uurtjes alleen te zijn. De kindjes vinden het ook leuk om te helpen met het uitlaten en het borstelen van de hond Ik heb een omheinde Thuin dus de hond kan niet weg lopen. De hond mag bij ons op de bank liggen en op bed liggen

Over: Mijn ouders hebben altijd katten gehad. Daarnaast liet ik als jong meisje, vaak de honden in de buurt uit. Op latere leeftijd werden dat vaste adressen waarbij ik de huissleutel kreeg. Tijdens covid heb ik gewerkt als hondenuitlater. Mijn vriend en ik zouden graag een huisdier nemen, maar houden ook nog te veel van reizen. Daarom zouden we het heel leuk vinden om een dag/periode op jullie dier te passen. Ik werk op freelance basis en ben daarom erg flexibel in het indelen van mijn eigen tijd. Daarnaast kan ik veel werk, gewoon thuis doen. Wel zo gezellig. We wonen in een appartement met een balkon. Je bent vanaf hier, zo in het Rembrandtpark of het Vondelpark voor een goede wandeling. Ik hou van buiten zijn, loop zelf geregeld een rondje en hou van spelen en knuffelen met de dieren.

Over: “I love animals and I am a responsible, caring and calm person who truly enjoys taking good care of dogs. I am punctual, trustworthy and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I am new to professional pet sitting, but I have personal experience taking care of dogs from family and friends. This has taught me to be patient, attentive and responsible. I also have a small dog at home. She is friendly, calm and fully vaccinated, which has helped me better understand dogs and their needs. I am very used to living with pets and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to provide the best care possible. I enjoy long walks, playing, and spending time with dogs. I am available in Zaandam and Amsterdam and I am motivated to learn and grow while providing loving and reliable care.” I am a student and I study English for about three hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After my classes, I am fully available and flexible for pet care during the rest of the day and week. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily include walks and care in my daily routine. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. At home, I have a friendly dog, and I am used to caring for animals responsibly. My house has a garden, but it is not fenced, so I only allow outdoor time under supervision or I go for regular walks instead. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and supervised at all times. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and providing them with attention, exercise and care.

Over: Hi, I’m Paula, and for over two years, I've been a dog assistant, caregiver and ofc treat dispenser! I’m perfect in making tails wag, finding the best belly rub spots, and ofc, sneaking in a few extra treats when no one’s looking! What do I offer? A full range of doggy entertainment! Walks, playtime, and professional ear scratches. Whether your dog is a tiny fluff ball or a big fur monster, I’ve got the skills (and treats) to keep them happy!! So, if you want your dog to have as much fun as you on your vacation, drop me a line! I promise to return your dog happy, tired, and maybe just a little bit spoiled. Kisses, Paula In my neighborhood, I’m just a stone’s throw away from the sea, so long walks are guaranteed, and your pups will have plenty of space to run and play 🥰 If you’re very attached to your furry friend, we can chat daily and I’ll send you videos and photos! 🙂 Will the dogs be left alone at home? Absolutely not! My fiancé works remotely, so the dogs will never be alone. I’ve been taking care of dogs part-time for over 2 years, and my fiancé comes from a very dog-loving family 🙂 As a young boy, he used to travel with his father to dog shows, and they had a family kennel of Hungarian Vizslas 🙂 I offer your dog trips to the beach, park, and forest where they can run around, burn off excess energy, play, and explore all the new scents. I will provide regular meals according to your instructions, ensuring your dog is well-fed. Your dog will have constant companionship, so they won't feel lonely. We’ll spend time together with petting, cuddling, and relaxing. I will also take into account any special requirements, such as administering medication or following a specific diet.

“I was very happy with Klaudia as a dogsitter. She went on long walks with Kiwi and regularly sent me updates and photos, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. Klaudia is very kind, reliable, and communication with her was excellent from the start. Kiwi felt very comfortable with her, was calm and relaxed in the evening, and slept really well. I would book Klaudia again anytime and can highly recommend her 🐶💛”

Over: I've had dogs all my life, however in the past 15 years I have focused on senior pet rescue, foster, and hospice. One of our dogs even had a pace maker! I have extensive experience in medication administration and a deep love for all animals. Right now we have a senior toothless chihuahua which is why we limit the size of pets we take in our home. However, if you have a large dog that is older extremely gentle and mild mannered we can discuss having our dogs meet and exceptions can be made. I would also consider a 2nd dog from the same household. Between my husband and I one of us is always home with our senior so no one will be left unattended. If I am coming to your pet I accept everyone and adapt to your pets individual needs and environment. The environment we provide is calm, safe, comfortable, and quiet with constant supervision. Pets are allowed on the furniture with pet stairs and blankets provided. If I am coming to your home I adapt to your pets needs and environment to keep it as routine as possible for them.

“I had a great experience and so did Hercules. Will come back again.”

Over: Hi! I’m Alisa, and I’d be happy to care for your dog or cat while you’re away 🤍 Whether you need boarding in my home, house sitting in yours, dog walking, or home visits, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for 🐾 I live in a quiet two-story house (about 90 m²) in Haarlem Noord, in the peaceful Indischewijk neighborhood. It’s a calm residential area with lovely green spaces nearby, mostly home to families and retirees, making it a great environment for relaxed walks I don’t have any pets of our own here in the Netherlands, so your dog will have our full attention. I work from home every day—I’m a ceramic artist (all my pieces are animal themed, huge animal lover here), so your pet will not be left home alone. My home is quiet, cozy, and perfect for pets who enjoy a calm environment I grew up surrounded by animals. My family has always had both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has been a part of my life since childhood. Over the years I’ve looked after breeds including a Black Russian Terrier, Cane Corso, and Prague Ratter, as well as many cats—from tiny kittens to senior cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I send regular photo and video updates so you can always feel calm knowing exactly how your pet is doing :) Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, naps, or just having someone nearby, I’ll happily adapt to their routine and personality 🫶🏻 If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and will not be left alone. I’m very flexible and can usually adapt to your pet’s routine, whether it’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply providing a calm companion during the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends with advance notice Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a quiet two-story home in Haarlem Noord with no other pets, so your dog or cat will receive our full attention. My neighborhood is peaceful, with several lovely green areas for walks. I always follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide

“Loes was wonderful taking care of Bruno. She was friendly and communicative, all round would recommend :)”

Over: Hi there ! I am Valeria and I’m originally from Peru but I have been living in the Netherlands for a few years now. A year and a half ago I got myself a dog (Copito) and he became family right away. In Peru, I have always lived surrounded by dogs (3 actually 😅) and now I am more than happy to share my life with Copito and hopefully your dog 🐶. I am very flexible and can accommodate to any requests. I will do whatever I need to make sure your dog feels at home. ♥️ I work from home on Monday’s, Wednesdays and Friday’s and I am home during the weekends, I can be flexible with time and can work around schedules. I have a small garden for your dog, and together with Copito (my dog), we will make sure your dog always has company :) Of course if there any preferences, we can make it work.

Over: We are new to this website, but we have done a lot of petsitting for our families and friends in the past, especially cats and dogs. We also have been using a different platform where we do house and pet sitting abroad. We would diligently follow instructions where pet behaviour, diet, characteristics, medication, rules, training and routines are concerned. We would send daily updates, with photos and videos, to let you know how things are going :) We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you in person, via WhatsApp or Zoom. We understand that trusting strangers to look after your much loved pets can be rather daunting, therefore we hope that by communicating with us, any existing worries or doubts can be eliminated :) Because we both mostly work from home and have flexible schedules, pet care fits easily into our daily routine. One of us is almost always at home, so pets are rarely left alone. We plan our days around feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest, and we can easily adapt to special needs, medication, or extra attention when required. We provide a calm, safe, and loving home where pets can follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. We give plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s personality, and because we’re often at home, pets are rarely left alone. We also send regular updates with photos and messages.

“Thomas is super patient and friendly. My dog is happy with her stay with Thomas. They went for a walk in the nearby park and had fun together. Definitely 5 stars recommend! ???”

Over: Your dog or cat will be in safe, loving hands and get all my attention. I'm Sarah and I'm from France. I live in a quiet flat in Haarlem without kids or other pets, so it’s a calm space where your pet can feel relaxed and at home. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have looked after dogs and cats since I was a kid. Building trust with them means a lot to me, and I know it takes time, patience, and consistency. I really enjoy hanging out with animals playing, cuddling, going for walks, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I stick to the same rules and routines you’ve set, so your pet stays comfortable and everything feels familiar. Dogs and cats need someone they can trust and someone you can trust too. I’d love to be that person for you and your furry friend. I work part-time in a restaurant and rarely after 3pm. So I have a lot of time to take care of your dog or cat. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in their familiar environment, I always focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. In my home, I create a calm and cozy space with no other pets or children, so your dog gets my full attention. I stick closely to the routine you’ve shared whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, or rest so your pet feels right at home. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and tidy, and send regular updates so you know how your furry friend is doing. No matter where I care for them, I treat every pet like my own with patience and affection.

Over: About Me & My Motivation

Hi! I’m an animal lover based in Zandvoort, and I’ve always had a deep connection with pets. I lived with my own cat for 3 years, which taught me about trust, patience, and emotional bonding with animals. I also previously volunteered at a local cat café where I cared for 7 resident cats—feeding them, monitoring their behavior, and providing attention tailored to their unique personalities, which gave me wonderful experience.

In addition to short-term care like dog walking, home visits, and playtime, I can now host your furry friends in my own home. Whether they stay at my place or I visit yours, my goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and safe while you’re away.

Since I focus on coming to your home, I can easily adapt my schedule to fit your pet's routine, offering walks (20–45 mins) or longer house-sitting stays to keep them company. I treat every pet like a companion and respect your home as if it were my own. During house sitting, I ensure windows and doors are secure and lights are used responsibly. I can also water plants and bring in the mail, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved in their own environment.

“Excellent sitter !”
