Hondenoppas in Zaanstad

Over: Al mijn hele leven heb ik een grote liefde voor dieren. Als kind paste ik al op de huisdieren van anderen tot we thuis een eigen hond als pup kregen. Mijn passie voor honden groeide en ik ben opleidingen over hondengedrag gaan volgen. Later heb ik in een hondenopvang en een hondenuitlaat gewerkt waar ik enorm van genoot. Nu hebben we regelmatig vakantie oppashondjes bij ons thuis maar we zouden dit graag nog vaker doen! Mijn dochters hebben een grote liefde voor katten. Ze aaien het liefst elke kat die ze buiten tegenkomen. Door hun is mijn liefde voor katten ook ontstaan. Veel mensen in onze omgeving (buren, vrienden, opa en oma) hebben katten en daar passen wij ook regelmatig op. Op donderdag en vrijdag werken mijn man en ik allebei waardoor uw huisdier misschien iets langer alleen thuis is (max 4 uur) De rest van de dagen is er altijd een van ons thuis. Uw huisdier wordt met veel liefde en aandacht verzorgd. Onze dochters zijn heel zachtaardig met dieren en hebben duidelijke regels rondom dieren waar respect voor hun grenzen bovenaan staan. Het is belangrijk dat uw huisdier comfortabel is bij kinderen en daar geen stress van krijgt. Zowel voor uw dier als de kids. We hebben een klein tuintje, omheind waar we alleen zomers zitten.

Over: We hebben in het verleden verschillende honden gehad zoals een jack russel, husky en australische herder, we zijn wel wat gewend Ook hebben we ervaring met amdere dieren zoals katten en vogels Ik werk , maar kan veel vanuit huiswerken en er zijn 2 jonge kinderen die ook gek zijn op honden, de honden moeten dus wel met kids kunnen verblijven, ze zullen niet zelf de honden verzorgen , maar vooral spelen en meewandelen Ik heb een omheinde tuin, genoeg ruimte en parken om de hoek, en genoeg tijd om te wandelen en te spelen, we kijken er naar uit

“Marcel is heel betrouwbaar en was ontzettend lief met onze Labrador. Caruso is een sterke hond die iemand met ervaring nodig heeft, en dat ging bij Marcel helemaal goed. We hebben ook fijne tips uitgewisseld en de communicatie met hem was uitstekend. 🦮”

“Amanda and her partner Marinna are fantastic. They took such great care of Charlie while we were away for 5 nights. They kept us updated with photos, and we could see that Charlie felt really comfortable with them. Charlie is reactive toward intact male dogs which can sometimes worry us when he is with new sitters. However, Amanda and Marinna assured us that they are familiar with reactivity, and they indeed seemed to manage just fine. Knowing he was in good hands made our vacation even more enjoyable 🙂 Thank you!!”

Over: I’ve spent more than 25 years surrounded by animals, and I lived with a young female puppy for over a year. This taught me how to follow daily routines, walks, feeding schedules, and how to support a dog’s emotional needs. I’m attentive, calm and patient — I understand different temperaments, from energetic and playful to sensitive or shy dogs. I love spending time outdoors, playing, providing structure, and helping pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Beyond dogs, I also have lifelong experience with cats and general animal behaviour, which helps me adapt quickly to any pet’s needs. My goal is always the same: to make sure your dog feels happy, cared for and understood. I work fully remotely, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet throughout the day. I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings, and I’m happy to arrange boarding, drop-ins or walks depending on what your pet needs. My schedule is very flexible, so we can easily coordinate a routine that works best for you and your furry friend. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly space with a fenced yard and several parks nearby, which makes walks and outdoor time easy and safe. I currently have no pets at home, so your dog or cat will receive my full attention without stress from other animals. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications and any special needs. I’m calm, patient and communicative, and I make sure every pet feels secure, comfortable and understood—whether I’m caring for them in your home or hosting them in mine.

“Great service, friendly, and flexible.”

Over: Leaving your pet in someone else’s care is a big decision and I don’t take that trust lightly. I treat every pup as if they were my own – with patience, affection and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks or belly rubs during daycare or sticking to their routine during boarding, your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priority. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away (or working), so I make sure you stay updated with photos, messages and little stories from our time together. Reliable, caring and experienced (over 20 years of taking care of cats and dogs) – I’m here to give you the confidence that your furry friend is in safe and loving hands. I work mostly from home so I am available for most of the days! Please send me a message and I am sure we will be able to align schedules. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a balcony. I do not own any pets myself and prefer to book pet(s) from one household at a time.

Over: I grew up with dogs since my childhood. At the same time, I currently have a husky breed dog. She is an incredible actor and friendly dog. Can get along with all dogs! Also my husband working from home, so we taking care carefully.
I accept longer stays if my schedule allows!

 Experience with Dogs
-Extensive Experience: I have years of experience working with both dogs and cats, handling different breeds, ages, and temperaments.
- Positive Training Methods: I use positive reinforcement training methods to ensure pets are happy and healthy.
- Adapting to Needs: I pay attention to each pet's individual needs, striving to provide the best care tailored to them.
 Availability
-Flexible Hours: I am available 7 days a week at various times of the day. I offer flexibility for both day and night care to accommodate pet owners' schedules.
- Emergency Situations: I am also available for sudden situations. If you need to travel unexpectedly or if there’s an emergency, I can assist.
Preferred Types of Dogs 
I enjoy spending time with energetic and social dogs. I particularly love working with friendly breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles.
Additional Qualities
-Veterinary Knowledge: I have basic veterinary knowledge and can assist with tasks like administering medication and dressing wounds when needed.
 Daily Updates: I provide regular photo and video updates to pet owners. This way, they can see that their pets are safe and happy.
These qualities and the services I offer ensure that pet owners can trust me with their beloved pets. I prioritize their happiness and health, taking care of them with love and dedication. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take Nina out in the morning (9–10 AM), again around 1–2 PM for a quick bathroom break, and we enjoy a long evening walk in the park. This routine keeps pets happy, active, and loved. I have a friendly husky, Nina, who loves meeting new dogs. I organize a short meetup in the park so dogs can get to know each other. Nina has welcomed many dog guests and enjoys the social time, making every visit fun and safe.

“Shuhan is a very professional pet sitter with many experiences with both cats and dogs. My cutie had very wonderful time with her for almost 20 days. She is careful and thoughtful of your pets. Highlight recommended!”

“Anastasia was the perfect boarding host for Kika: warm, friendly, lots of walks in Nooderpark. And their space is lovely, with a nice living room and a gorgeous outdoor garden. Can't say enough about Anastasia, highly recommend!”

Over: Sinds mijn zesde al huisdieren gehad. Begonnen met een hond, later katten. Pas nu regelmatig op katten van vrienden en buren en pas/loop sinds een jaar actief meerdere honden in de buurt uit (6+). Sommige blijven ook bij ons thuis voor een langere periode. Ik wandel meerdere keren per dag met of zonder honden. Er zijn drie parken en twee (groene) looproutes in de buurt, dus genoeg te snuffelen! Spelen met bal of ander speelgoed is ook mogelijk, evenals hardlopen met de hond als deze beweging nodig heeft. Ik heb een omheind (achter)tuintje met wat groen waar de hond veilig kan rondsnuffelen. Tevens is er een zacht bankje aanwezig waar de hond op kan liggen en zal die veel geaaid worden en zal er veel gespeeld worden!

“Rajal took gr was t care of Louie! Also on a very short notice!”

“In one word: Amazing! Our little dog Nitro had a fantastic stay at Tripti’s during our X-mas holiday abroad. Tripti informed us daily with several video’s and photos so we could see how Nitro was doing. Nitro was cuttled lots and was spoiled with homemade food, lovely walks and snacks. Thank you Tripti for his wonderful stay. You really took away our worries of leaving him behind as Nitro doesn’t like to travel. Like Nitro, we also had a great holiday, thanks to you. Next time we will definitely call you again. You are the best! ❤️”

Over: I bring a calm presence, genuine curiosity, and strong intuition that help animals feel safe and seen. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust to their unique needs and personality—whether that means playful energy, training patience, or simply being present and calm. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at the same time, each with their own challenges and special needs. This experience has taught me how to stay focused, balanced, and responsive in dynamic situations. I also have experience with administering medication and handling pets who require extra attention. I’m physically active and happy to take long walks or go for runs with high-energy dogs. At the same time, I’m attentive and gentle with older pets who need a slower pace and more care. My background as a massage therapist and actor has sharpened my sensitivity to body language and emotional cues, which helps me connect deeply with animals. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to hearing from you! Although I currently work full-time during the day, I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and overnight. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, or stays outside regular office hours. I live in Wormerveer. I always take great care to ensure a safe and calm environment, whether I'm in your home or mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and energy, and adapt my approach to keep them relaxed and secure. I build trust gradually and connect both with pets and owners on a personal level, so everyone feels at ease.

“Daisy and her family were very nice with my dog. She shared pictures with me every day and took a very good care of my pet. I do recommend Daisy for anyone that needs some support with the dog.”

“Julia was very friendly and easy to coordinate with. She took care of our little Disco and it seems like he had a good time. We also received the right amount of updates and she was flexible with the drop-off location. We're definitely going to book her again. <3”

“Ilona was amazing not only amazing with my dog while staying at my apartment but also while having my dog stay with her!! She is near a large field that was great for my pup to play and she even provided a really sweet print out of my pup from playtime in that field 😂 thanks again, Ilona, for all the okay time and being flexible in watching Thor on somewhat short notice!!”

Over: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5 in America when my neighbors needed a pet sitter. I still do pet sit sometimes for my friends but would love to sit other pets especially since I live near a park!!! I’m currently a student that has class may be three times a week. I have two hour classes so besides that I’ll be able to walk in the park go places and my friends also have some dogs so if you don’t mind, I would love for the dogs to be able to interact or the cats. I live in a studio apartment so it is not that big however it is really safe. The window windows don’t open fully and I do not have a yard but I do have a terrace and I live three minutes away from the park so I will be able to go to the park very often.

“Dolly was bij Maria in super goede handen. Het was haar eerste keer logeren bij onbekenden, dus ik belde vooraf even en dat voelde meteen goed. Ze werd behandeld alsof ze hun eigen kindje was. Echt een warm en vertrouwd gevoel. De updates met foto's en video's waren super fijn, zo wist ik precies dat ze het naar haar zin had. Maria raad ik absoluut aan voor iedereen die hun hond met een gerust hart wil achterlaten. We komen zeker terug! 🐾”

“Our cat loved the stay with Késia so much that it looked disappointed to leave the flat to come back home. Késia is fully available and obviously experienced. I can strongly recommend!”
