Hondenoppas in Voorschoten

“We are so grateful to have found such an amazing dogsitter for our pup! She has taken care of him multiple times while we’ve traveled, and every single time, she goes above and beyond. Our dog absolutely adores her — and we can tell he’s in great hands because he always comes back happy, calm, and well-loved. She treats him like her own, keeps us updated with photos and messages, and we never have to worry while we’re away. Truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

Juliana L.

“Andrea was excellent - very communicative and shared updates and photos on a regular basis. We wanted to change our pickup time last minute and he was fortunately able to keep Gali longer than first agreed. We can warmly recommend him (and we promise to work on Gali’s leash-pulling.)”

“Echt super lieve meiden die heel erg goed voor ons hondje hebben gezorgd. Elke dag kregen we foto’s. Ze gingen veel met hem erop uit en lieten het ook weten als er wat was om te overleggen wat ze het beste konden doen. We zagen ons hondje echt genieten en komen zeker nog eens terug bij de meiden!”

“Bernice was wonderful and took the best care of our baby. We are frequently updated on everything including tons of cute pictures to satisfy our desire to see our baby again. We would 10/10 recommend her as she clearly loves animals and will take the best care of your dog.”

“Maria José is an excellent dogsitter! She watched my dog for a full week, and we came back to a happy, relaxed and well-cared-for pup. From day one Maria was professional, kind and completely trustworthy. She sends regular updates, kept a consistent routine and treated my doggy as one of her own. At first, I was nervous about leaving my dog alone, however, Maria's communication was excellent! She's responsive, proactive, and assured us that everything was okay. It's a big relief to have someone you can trust with your pet, and Maria is that person. I'd recommend her to anyone without hesitation. If she's available, book her and your furry pet will be lucky to have her! Thanks a lot Maria José.”

“Patrycja and Rookie always take great care of our Lilo, and are very relaxed and easy to communicate with. She always comes back happy and exchausted!”

Over: Taking care of small dogs and other mammals for all our lives, we have the common sense and consideration to make sure your fluffy friend gets all their needs met. On most days either of us is available to take care of the pet. We often work from home, making most arrangements possible and flexible. It's a big apartment without a yard, but we're able to take dogs out multiple times a day. On the first meeting, we will be able to evaluate the connection with your pet; if this is not good according to our standards, we will have to refuse offering the service.

Over: Hello everyone!

 I am Basma, a 27-year-old professional living and working in the Netherlands. I moved to the Netherlands back in 2019 for my master studies at Leiden University, and started working since 2021 upon graduation. My journey from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the serene parks of Den Haag to the charming canals of Amsterdam has been an exciting and amazing adventure. 

 My motivation to be a pet sitter stems from my deep love for dogs and my commitment to their well-being, and the fact that I cannot have my own doggy in the near future :-(((((. I genuinely desire to ensure that pets receive the best care and love that they deserve, even when their owners are away for holidays/busy with work. I always try my best to understand and empathize with the anxiety pet owners feel when they have to leave their furry family members behind, and I strive to provide a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for every dog I care for. Luckily my work is super flexible and I can work from home at any time if I want, meaning I can be with dogs 24/7 if needed.

 In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, being a pet sitter allows me to meet wonderful pet owners and become a trusted part of their lives. It's a rewarding experience that combines my love for dogs with the opportunity to build meaningful relationships within the community especially now I'm trying to be more extroverted.
 Last but not the least, I always respect different personalities different dogs have, so please share as much information as possible about your (and my upcoming) friend when reaching out.

 Environment & Services
 I live in a quiet and comfortable apartment by myself near Den Haag Centraal Station, nearby which there is a gaint park where I can always see a lot of people walking their dogs. As a bonus, there is also a deer park. I prefer to walk our fluffy friends there in the park, or somewhere nearby if he/she has a 'go-to' place :-)  

Good to know 
- I can go for walks 1-3 times per day (morning & afternoon), at least 30 minutes each time, or longer if needed.  
- For day care & one-night boarding (1 dog only): I will be with the dog the whole day; For multiple-night boarding (1 dog only), I can be with the dog all the time except when I need to do grocery shopping (max. 1 hour). (My job doesn't require me to work from the office, so I can be with the dog as much as needed) 
- Dogs can stay in every corner of my apartment except my bed! 
 - Home visits take approx. 30 mins (can be longer if needed upon consultation), and I'm also willing to water plants :-)

Over: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience raising two dogs and always give puppies the patience they need during training. I adjust my care to the specific needs of each dog, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a calm senior. In addition, I am very reliable and punctual, and I like to keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can be away with peace of mind. ————–——— Ik heb ervaring met het opvoeden van twee puppy’s en geef jonge honden altijd alle geduld die ze nodig hebben tijdens de training. Ik pas mijn zorg aan op de behoeften van de hond, of het nu gaat om een speelse pup of een rustige senior. Daarnaast ben ik zeer betrouwbaar en altijd op tijd, en houd ik de eigenaar graag op de hoogte met foto’s en berichten, zodat zij met een gerust hart weg kunnen. Momenteel werk ik parttime, waardoor ik doordeweeks de hele dag beschikbaar ben om met jouw hond te wandelen, te spelen of te knuffelen. Ook in het weekend ben ik beschikbaar. Zo krijgt je hond altijd de zorg en energie die hij verdient. Ik heb een veilige, omheinde tuin waar honden vrij kunnen spelen. Zelf heb ik twee vriendelijke honden die graag gezelschap bieden, zodat jouw hond zich meteen welkom voelt. Indien nodig kan ik een bench gebruiken voor rustmomenten of veiligheid. Ik zorg ervoor dat je hond altijd in een vertrouwde en zorgzame omgeving verblijft.

“Very good care of my dog and very attentive girl.”

Over: Mijn naam is Shandra, 31 jaar oud en ik ben echt helemaal dol op honden. Zoals je op mijn profiel kan zien heb ik al veel ervaring, ook met vele diverse hondenrassen. Ik ben zeer gewend om zowel voor korte als langere periodes op te passen. Op het moment dat ik op uw hond zal passen, zal ik mij verantwoordelijk voelen alsof het mijn eigen hond is. Bij mij zal hij/zij zich helemaal thuisvoelen. Zo zijn er in mijn omgeving veel leuke plekjes voor de hond: verschillende parken met veel natuur. Tevens hou ik heel erg van wandelingen maken in het bos of op het strand. Ook stuur ik de hele dag door foto’s en op verschillende momenten van de dag updates over hoe het gaat. Zie ook al mijn lieve reviews, welke ik al heb mogen ontvangen. Ik kan niet wachten uw hond te mogen ontvangen! Stuur gerust een berichtje, zodat we kunnen kennismaken. Liefs Shandra PS: - Ik ontvang veel aanvragen voor een vaste oppas 1-2 keer per week, helaas kan ik hier niet aan voldoen. - Ik pas alleen op honden van kleine en middel maten. Ik pas niet op katten ivm allergie! Ik werk als account manager, waarbij ik geheel mijn agenda agenda beheer. Ik bepaal dus zelf wanneer ik thuis werk etc. Ik moet wel eens hier en daar 2-4 uurtjes van huis dus als het voor een langere periode dan 1 dag oppas is, is het wel fijn als de hond even alleen kan zijn. Uiteraard probeer ik er zoveel mogelijk rekening mee te houden in de agenda om niet veel weg te zijn! Ik verzorg de dieren alsof het mijn eigen dieren zijn. Ik knuffel veel, praat veel tegen ze en zorg dat ze volledig op hun gemak zijn.

Over: Ik heb ruime ervaring met het uitlaten en verzorgen van honden. Ik weet hoe belangrijk het is dat een hond niet alleen beweging krijgt, maar zich ook veilig en op zijn gemak voelt tijdens een wandeling. Elke hond heeft een eigen karakter en behoeften, en ik pas onze aanpak daarop aan. Of het nu gaat om een energieke hond die lange wandelingen nodig heeft of een rustige hond die liever op zijn eigen tempo loopt, ik bied altijd de juiste zorg en aandacht. Geduld, liefde en verantwoordelijkheid staan bij mij voorop, zodat zowel de hond als het baasje tevreden is. Momenteel werk ik part time, meer en deels thuis. Door mijn mogelijkheid heb ik ruimte om voor een extra hond te verzorgen en het bieden van activiteiten Ik woon in een apartment 2e verdieping (1 trap). Ik heb een ruime woonkamer waar de honden kunnen spelen en daarnaast heb ik een prachtige grote park naast ons huis waar de honden goed kunnen spelen & activiteiten.

Over: Hiii my name is Alexa and I'm from Romania. 
I live in The Hague, near Centrum and currently I'm in my last year of uni, doing an internship in Marketing Communications. 
I've lived most of my life with pets. From a stray dog that my family saved when I was three to numerous stray cats, we welcomed them all and I tried my best to take care of them, feed them, play with them and offer them shelter where they could feel warm and safe. 
I have experience within the Netherlands as well since I took care of seven cats and three small sized dogs. 
 The first cat I took care of here was a handsome black cat that just came out of a minor surgery. That wasn't a problem for me because I was able to administer medicine, regularly disinfect the wound and take him to the vet for check ups. 
 The three dogs that I took care of for three weeks last year, were three sisters all over the age of 8. They were very affectionate and playful and I loved caring for them.
 I also took care of 3 lovely cats within the same home for 6 weeks, fish and even a tortoise. I'm patient, gentle and always on time and my main goal is to make you and your pets happy.
 Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you need help with your pets! I'm currently doing an internship from Monday to Thursday. I could possibly bring dogs to the office if needed, but I usually prefer doing it Friday to Sunday so I can offer all my attention and care. I live in an apartment with no garden or balcony, but I can take dogs or cats (if they're leash trained) for walks as often as possible and there is a park within 5 minutes of my apartment.

“Jennifer heeft uitstekend voor mijn hond gezorgd (20 dagen lang). Ze hield mij zeer regelmatig op de hoogte met berichtjes, foto's en soms een filmpje. Deze updates vond ik erg prettig. Jennifer straalt rust & vertrouwen uit. Hierdoor kon ik met een gerust hart op vakantie, zonder zorgen over mijn hond. Jennifer heeft duidelijk veel ervaring met honden. Ze heeft er voor gezorgd dat mijn lieve hond niets te kort kwam. Namens mij en mijn hond: nogmaals dank!”

Over: I have taken care of many cats and dogs of friends, and have my own dog and 2 cats. However, I am in The Netherlands without them for a few months, so would love to take care of other animals instead! I am working part-time from home, part-time from the office in Wageningen. I am mostly home in the mornings and evenings on office days; when I work from home I may run an errand or go for a run, but should be mostly home to hang out with the animals! I am a calm person with a PhD in animal welfare and behaviour. Therefore, I know very well how to read animals, to ensure they have the best experience with me as pet sitter!

“Ik ben heel blij dat ik Rouzbeh gevonden heb voor het oppassen op Seb, Seb heeft een hele fijne tijd gehad en het voelde vertrouwd om Seb bij Rouzbeh te brengen! Ik kreeg dagelijks updates en fotos van Seb en dat was heel erg geruststellend! Kortom 5 sterren!”

Over: I've taken care of my own dog, Charlie, now a 9-year-old English Pointer, since I was 14 years old. He required a lot of exercise (walks twice a day) but also due to other complications being a purebred dog, he needed a lot of attention and care, as well as medication twice a day for the past 6 years. I also have experience with cats, as I grew up with a Siamese and Burmese (both purebred, and have very strong but different personalities), which I then had the joy of experiencing taking care of two litters of kittens with my Burmese cat. Thereafter I have fostered puppies (range of ages from 3 and a half weeks old to 1 year old) for 5 years for multiple dog organisations. I have dog sat for a family that had a very old and blind dog, whom needed special care as he was blind and needed help getting outside, which I would do early every morning. I also completed a job shadow of a nurse in a veterinary practice, which needed caring, teamwork and interacting with pet-owner clients. I have experience ranging from very young dogs and cats to very old, and also those who require a lot of attention and those who do not. I am currently a masters student at Leiden University. I study full-time, but as my program is predominantly self-study I have a lot of free time in which I am available to play and look after your pets! I am free most weekdays and the weekend (except some Sundays during the day). I am very easy going and comfortable with pets of all ages. I am deeply passionate about helping and working with animals and I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity I get to spend time with them!

“Wat een ontzettend leuke meid! Hadden er gelijk een goed gevoel bij! We kregen iedere dag een update hoe het ging en leuke foto's toegestuurd. En op de foto's was duidelijk te zien dat onze viervoeter het prima naar zijn zin had!! Als ik nog eens een oppas zoek weet ik wel waar ik aan moet kloppen!! Echt een aanrader!!!!🐾”

Over: Hi! I’m a nurse with a huge love for animals. Because of my shift schedule, I have flexible availability and can take care of your pet on my days off, evenings, or weekends. I have experience with both small and large dogs, and I’d love to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, and lots of affection! Let’s chat and see how I can help! I work at the LUMC as a nurse, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time to offer to your furry friends. I have a small open space flat in a quiet and green area here in the center of Leiden. My home is a safe and cozy place where your pet will feel comfortable and well cared for

Over: Hello and nice to meet you 😊 both me and my husband owned dogs in the past: we both had Rhodesian ridgebacks and an English Bulldog. We love dogs and we would love to get our kids to grow up more around animals and dogs. Our girls are aged 5, 7 and 8 so we’d love to host a dog who gets along with children :) Me and my husband are working from home on some days so we can be flexible! We are home most nights as we have kids, so overnight stay is not a problem. We have a small fenced garden, and enough room in the living area for a dog to chill. We will make sure the fur baby is comfortable!
