Hondenoppas in Wormerland

“Laura and her partner took the best care of our dog. They treated him as if he was their own and communicated extremely well on how he was doing throughout the time we were gone. I felt comfortable and confident that he was in good hands. Truly can't say enough how grateful we were to come across them for caring for our dog.”

Over: I grew up with both dogs and cats in Ireland, and have years of hands on experience caring for pets. I started as a dog walker while living in London and naturally transitioned into dog and cat sitting when owners needed reliable care during holidays. Over time, I’ve looked after pets in big cities and remote countryside homes, everything from energetic pups and senior dogs to anxious rescues who need extra patience and calm. I have done sits across Europe and in Morocco and Mexico through Trusted House Sitters, where I currently have over 18 5 star reviews and references which I can share with you while I am new to Rover:) I’ve also cared for cats, bunnies, and even chickens. Each pet I care for gets individual attention, whether it’s structured walks, playtime, cuddles, or maintaining consistent feeding routines. I’m comfortable administering basic medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets feel safe and loved in their routine. When I am in Amsterdam I live at home with my mother and younger brother in our house with a yard in Amsterdam Noord (a 5 minute cycle from the NDSM ferry in a family and dog friendly neighborhood). My mother and brother also love pets, and we own a female cat who is good with dogs. So if you are looking for a place to board your dog or cat (only female cats) we are happy to take them. We used to have two dogs when we lived in Ireland so we are all very well versed in dog and cat care, and we have lots of great walking paths for long walks in Amsterdam Noord. As a virtual assistant, I work remotely and have the flexibility to shape my day around pet care. Whether it’s structured meal times for cats or long, enriching walks for dogs, I enjoy the rhythm that caring for animals brings to my routine. It’s not just a task, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Having a pet around while I work (especially a cat on my lap!) makes the day even better. When staying in a client’s home, I treat it with great care and respect, keeping things organized and tidy. I always follow detailed instructions and make sure pets are comfortable and happy in their familiar environment. I’ve cared for dogs with anxiety and special needs, so I’m attentive to their triggers and use positive reinforcement, like distraction treats on walks for dogs that are easily triggered. For cats, I’m consistent with feeding times and love spending calm time with them.

“Communicatie met Marcel verliep perfect! Reageert snel op berichten . Was fijn om eerst kennis te maken met Marcel bij hun thuis in Zaandam. En afspraken gemaakt over los lopen etc! Het voelde meteen goed om Moos bij Marcel achter te laten. Leuk dat Marcel filmpje stuurde van uitlaten en eindeloos bal gooien; blijer kan je Moos niet maken! Leuk om te zien en te ervaren dat Marcel Moos een leuk beest vindt (vinden wij ook😊) en dat Moos zich helemaal vertrouwd voelde bij Marcel, alsof hij daar al lang over de vloer kwam. Was eerste keer. En is dus heel goed bevallen! Ik ben erg blij dat ik Marcel kan vragen op Moos te passen, als we omhoog zitten.”

“Joakim has been of great help with my cat Zombie and my two chickens. He loves animals to the extent that he really gets to know them and gives them very much attention. He is very caring, calm and friendly. All my animals feel comfortable around him. I would recommend him to any pet owner.”

“Ik raadt Hanna aan als oppas voor honden. Onze hond is regelmatig bij haar in haar gezin met twee kinderen. Ze is gek op honden en is, samen met man en kinderen, heel lief en zorgzaam voor ze!”

“Super fijne en betrouwbare oppas. Ik liet mijn pup er met oud en nieuw logeren en hij werd opgenomen in de roedel oudere stabielere honden. Ik kreeg regelmatig updates en foto’s en filmpjes en kon zo met een gerust hart hem een avond aan Jay overlaten.”

“Jingyu is such a sweet person. Communication was great, and I regularly received videos of Elfi, which I really appreciated!”

“Great service, friendly, and flexible.”

Over: Wij hebben sinds 2022 onze eigen gezinshond, een dalmatiër reu met de naam Mylo. Mylo werd mijn 4e kind nadat mijn jongste naar groep 1 ging. Ik heb ervaring met puppytijd, heb talloze cursussen gevolgd, en kan her en der ook helpen bij het trainen van je hond. Ik ben natuurlijk geen officiële hondentrainer, maar vind het wel erg leuk! Ik werk vanuit huis, en ben hierdoor grotendeels van de dag thuis. Ik ben geduldig en liefdevol. Ik bied flexibiliteit en voldoende aandacht. Wij hebben een eigen bedrijf in meubelreiniging, mijn man is hiervoor buiten de deur aan het werk en ik zit thuis achter de schermen. Hierdoor ben ik grotendeels van de dag thuis, op kinderen halen en brengen van school na of een boodschapje oid. Wij hebben een dalmatiër van bijna 2 jaar, Mylo. Mylo is een gecastreerde vriendelijke reu. Doordat we zelf een hond hebben beschik ik over diverse lijnen, trektuigen, een bench, voerbakken, speelgoed, brain training tools etc. We hebben ook een kat, Zazu. Dit is een ragdoll die voornamelijk buiten is.

“Anna is een geweldige en liefdevolle verzorger! Ze heeft met veel zorg en aandacht op mijn kat Freddie gepast, en ik vertrouw haar volledig. Ze is verantwoordelijk, geduldig en zorgt ervoor dat een huisdier zich veilig en op zijn gemak voelt. Ik raad haar van harte aan voor iedereen die een betrouwbare oppas zoekt.”

“Hieronimus Olaf is a responsible and loving pet caregiver who truly cares for animals. Their patience, attentiveness, and kindness make pets feel safe and happy. I highly recommend Hieronimus for anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Paulina and her boyfriend took good care of Sturm. They sent me multiple pictures and videos where they were definitely having quite some fun. I recommend her!”

“Michelle was an amazing friend for Teddie! She was super sweet and caring and great in the communication. 5 star for sure! Would def recommend!!”

“We give Laura for sure a well deserved 5 star rating. Our 2 boys have been spoiled and been treated like royalties. Our big boy (2y.o.) has have the most amazing time playing with there dog Odin. Our old tiny grandpa (14y.o) has been getting the princess treatment. Picking up the boys they were clearly happy to be with Laura and het boyfriend. We are very happy with her flexibility and care. And we will resend the boys any time.”

“Geweldige oppas voor onze hond Vigo! Manon en Joe ondernemen van alles. Lekker zwemmen met hem, laten rennen in het bos, tijdens de bbq ligt hij er lekker bij in het gras. Echt al wel maatjes, heel erg fijn!”

Over: I’ve had dogs my whole life (and plenty of other pets too)! I feel comfortable and relaxed around dogs, I prefer them to most people I think! I will provide everything your dog could possibly need. I’ve had experience with puppies and training, all the way through to caring for senior dogs and their requirements. I currently have my own dog who needs at least 3 walks a day so your dog will receive exactly the same! I currently work two days a week but, on the days I work, my partner Ross will be at home (I’ve uploaded a photo of the two of us with our dog!) My daily routine completely revolves around my dog and what he needs so I’m also happy to cater to your furry friends needs too! We sometimes have weekend plans but these are normally dog friendly activities too. I have a fenced patio outside that your dog is welcome to wander outside and go to the toilet in. I also have my dog who will keep your friends company too. Dogs are allowed anywhere in our home, so if your dog needs some quiet alone time then they can take themselves off for some piece. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and bed too if they want. We also do have a crate for our dog that we can use if needed.

“Review for Klaudia’s Dog Walking Service Klaudia is an amazing dog walker! She takes wonderful care of my dog and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and well-exercised. Every time my dog comes home, he’s cheerful, calm, and clearly had a great time. Her communication is excellent, and she’s very reliable and trustworthy. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and puts her heart into what she does. I really recommend Klaudia!”

“I highly recommend Maria! She took amazing care of my dog, providing regular updates with photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was walked three times a day and had a fantastic time staying over. My dog was happy, well cared for, and enjoyed the stay. I will definitely book again!”

“I recommend Cagil to any pet parent with 100% confidence. He has an amazing chemistry with the dogs and he adores them. My dog is a big fan of him and he is always very friendly and compassionate with animals. You can trust him and don't need to worry about anything.”
