Hondenoppas in Vlaardingen

Over: I've taken care of my female boxer when I was 11 and now, 20 years later, my best friend is my golden-roller retriever Chef Cappuccino. I cook his food, all his snacks are 100% meat, and I am training him with the STSK9 method. I am highly aware of body language, have knowledge of neuroscience of dogs' brain, provide somatic exercises after walks to relieve stress, and do fitness exercises to take care of the muscles and bones. I am working fully remote, so the dogs will always have someone with them. I live nearby open fields - perfect for getting away from the stressful urban environment. I provide both mental and physical fulfilment - walk my own dog 3-4 times a day (min 30' each), play different games, training (fitness and obedience). I clean their paws and do a general wiping after every walk to avoid infections. I have a fenced garden and a house big enough for each dog to have its room (if needed). A crate is also available either for training or chilling. Bed, towels, toys are also available.

Over: Mijn naam is Marijke. Sinds 2018 ben ik kattenoppas. Natuurlijk vind ik honden ook leuk en zou ik hier ook op kunnen passen. Wanneer mijn profiel jou aanspreekt, stuur dan een berichtje! Ik werk zelfstandig thuis en ik kom vaak buiten. Dieren op bezoek (m.n. katten) kan heel goed, ik heb een ruim huis met voldoende kamers. Elke dag krijgen de katten (of de hond) een aai van mij en als ze dat willen kroeltijd. Natuurlijk krijgen ze dagelijks schoon water en een heerlijke maaltijd. Aandacht hangt ook af van de behoefte van het huisdier. Natuurlijk geef ik de aandacht wanneer ze of hij erom vraagt.

“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.”

Over: Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve spent years caring for our pets, from feeding and grooming to ensuring they get plenty of exercise. I've frequently taken on the responsibility of looking after friends' and neighbors' dogs, managing their routines and needs with care. Last year, I adopted my own dog and successfully trained her, focusing on obedience, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’ve handled dogs of various breeds and temperaments, understanding the importance of patience and consistency in their care. I am currently taking a break from working. I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet and adjust my schedule based on their needs. I live with my 1-year-old dog in a house. There is a park closeby where the dogs can walk and play together. My dog is very friendly and gentle, she gets along with all other dogs and likes to play with them.

“Boarded my cat for a week. Everything went well. Maybe as a suggestion: to write some details of what is going on, what went well, what went wrong.”

“Maria took care of our senior dog, Schroeder, while we were on vacation. She was incredibly accommodating to his age-related needs, demonstrating a thoughtful and personalized approach to his care. I felt completely at ease knowing that Schroeder was in safe hands—and that he would be comfortable and happy while we were away. Maria, thank you so much for taking care of Schroeder. We appreciate it a lot!”

“Heel goed gevoel over dit vakantieverblijf voor onze June. Reina heeft haar goed aangevoeld. Dat June bij het ophalen toch ook even een aai ging halen bij Reina is uitzonderlijk positief.”

Over: Van jongs af aan heb ik een natuurlijke band met honden ik begon dan al met honden uitlaat service. Ik heb ervaring met verschillende karakters en leeftijden, en weet hoe belangrijk duidelijkheid, geduld en beweging zijn. Momenteel train ik actief een Border Collie, wat mij veel heeft geleerd over consequent zijn, positieve training en het bieden van structuur. Ik zorg met aandacht, energie en liefde. Of het nu gaat om lange wandelingen, spelen of juist rust en knuffelmomenten. Ik pas mij aan aan wat uw hond nodig heeft. Bij mij is uw hond in betrouwbare en betrokken handen. Momenteel werk ik niet en wil ik wel nog bezig zijn met dingen waar ik om geef. Dus heb ik alle tijd om de dieren zoveel mogelijk aandacht en liefde te geven. Ik ben flexibel en pas mijn zorg volledig aan aan de behoeften van uw hond of kat. Zo beschik ik over een bench voor honden, meerdere kamers die kunnen dienen als rustige plekken, en een beschutte tuin waar dieren veilig kunnen spelen en ontspannen. De omgeving hier is ook heel toegankelijk en fijn voor honden. Leuke wandelgebieden. Mijn eigen Border Collie is sociaal en kan goed grenzen aanvoelen, wat zorgt voor een harmonieuze omgeving. Voor katten die minder gewend zijn aan honden kan ik gemakkelijk aparte ruimtes creëren, zodat iedereen zich veilig en comfortabel voelt. Ik ben in principe altijd thuis en zorg ervoor dat het verblijf van uw huisdier zo aangenaam en stressvrij mogelijk is, met veel aandacht, liefde en persoonlijke zorg.

“Maira is friendly, caring and very communicative. Bruno is easygoing but requires a thoughtful human, and Maira was exactly that for him! She sent loads of photos so she made me less anxious as well. Maira will now be my go-to sitter! 🥰”

“Wat een geweldige fijne mensen zijn Irina en Vitalii. Ze hebben onze Nala een Rhodesian Ridgeback een week lang vertroeteld. Veel met haar gewandeld en gespeeld. We mochten regelmatig foto's en video's ontvangen en zagen daar een hele relaxte Nala. Wij zijn zo blij met deze hondenliefhebbers en zullen hen zeker nog vaker benaderen voor de opvang van Nala.”

Over: I adopted beloved dog Lulu when he was 6 years and he spend his next 8 years of his life with me. When I had him and after that I keep pet sitting to experience abundance and unconditional love and the inspiration I experience is not comparable with anything. Im painter and video artist, I spent most of my time at home in my studio and our garden. I would love to have a furry companion. I have fenced yard,and I take long walk everyday at beach or the park around my house. I would play with them, walk with dogs and make a comfortable safe space to enjoy eachother presence.

Over: Bonjour ! My name is Mary, I'm 34, originally from France, and I’ve been living in Rotterdam centre for a few years now. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I grew up surrounded by them. I volunteered at animal shelters in Australia, and I currently also volunteer at the animal shelter of Rotterdam once a week. I currently don't have any pets and I really miss them. That’s why I’m offering my time to take care of your animal, whether it’s walking, playing, or having them at home for a daycare or longer. I live in a quiet apartment in the centre with my partner, who also love dogs. We have a private park inside the building and also a few dog parks near by. There are already a few dogs in my building that we might come across, so it's important that your dog is not reactive with other dogs. I love to spend time with animals and give them a lot of affection, while meeting their needs. I am reliable, dedicated, and will care for your animals with love and attention! I also enjoy learning about positive dog training methods through videos and find it fascinating to better understand animal behaviour. I currently work in customer service, and my schedule is quite flexible (working from home a lot), which allows me to be quite available for dog-sitting. Don't hesitate to reach me out if you would like to discuss :) I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! My work schedule is quite flexible, I work from home a lot and usually go to the office 2 days a week, but I always have the possibility to work from home or go to the office for only 5h. But I will adapt my schedule depending on the needs of the dog if he/she is staying at my place. Then I walk a lot so walking the dog 3 or 4 times a day is not a problem at all. I live in a spacious apartment with a lift. We have a private park in my building, usually dogs enjoy it a lot, it is safe and they can be off-leash. There are already a few dogs in my building that we might come across, so it's important that your dog is not reactive with other dogs. There are also a few dog parks nearby, and if they like long walk there are many nice places where to go in the city, like Het Park :) At home, dogs can sleep on my couch and there is a balcony where they also can enjoy a nap during sunny days.

“Really sweet couple who took amazing care of Khai! I trust them a lot and they sent many cute pictures where I can see Khai was having a lot of fun! Really recommend😊”

“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: Hello loving pet parents! I would be thrilled to to work with you and your furry family members, but first, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 23 year old Master's student at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, and I have over 10 years of experience in pet sitting under my belt. I have fostered 14 dogs, several of which were special medical cases that required extra care and attention before finding their forever homes, and I grew up with several of my own as well. I have experience with all ages of dogs from puppies to medically complicated seniors. I started a club in high school that helped connect students with hands-on volunteer opportunities with animals, and I also volunteered with BullyPaws dog rescue as an insurance-certified dog handler. I adore dogs, cats, and all. I am currently writing my thesis from home, so my daily schedule is quite flexible. I prefer to petsit in my own home, but I am more than happy to come to yours as well. I take daily walks anywhere from 1-8kilometers, and I would love to run with your dogs as well if desired. I am happy to work with your pets to continue any training that they might be undergoing, and I am happy to provide pictures and updates during my service upon request. Please feel free to reach out if you think that we'd be a good fit! I have a very flexible schedule as I am a full time Master's student who can complete my work in any location and at varied times. I can offer your pets all of my care and attention, with no other pets currently at my home. I take daily walks of anywhere from 1-8km and would love to include your furry friend in this:)

Over: I grew up with dogs! I learned to be caring and to love animals. I like to play, walk and go for runs with dogs :) I live nearby parks but also like to go out of the city to green areas. I mostly work from Monday to Thursday, and Fridays my wife is available for dog-sitting too :) hence I have all the weekends to walk and spend good time with dogs, including if needed overnight care. I like to create a relaxed and tranquil environment with dogs. I’m quite active to walking, running and going out for small chores with the dog is ensured!
