Hondenoppas in Zaanstad

Over: Ik heb voor verschillende dieren en hondenrassen gezorgd, net als mijn partner. Ik woon al met dieren sinds ik 10 jaar oud was. Ik heb voor pasgeboren puppies gezorgd en momenteel zorg ik voor mijn 12-jarige beagle. Ik leg de nadruk op training, omdat ik geloof dat dit de mentale gezondheid van onze huisdieren ondersteunt en hen een gelukkig leven binnen het gezin geeft. Door voor oudere honden te zorgen, heb ik geleerd hoe belangrijk het is om aandacht te besteden aan alle aspecten van hun leven: van voeding en beweging tot plezier en hygiëne. Ik zal voor jouw huisdier zorgen alsof het van mijzelf is. Ik zal attent zijn op zijn of haar behoeften en ervoor zorgen dat hij of zij gelukkig naar huis terugkeert. ********************************************************************************* I have taken care of different animals and dog breeds, just like my partner. I have lived with animals since I was 10 years old. I have cared for newborn puppies and currently take care of my 12-year-old beagle. I emphasize training because I believe it supports our pets’ mental health and allows them to live a happy life within the family. By taking care of senior dogs, I have learned how essential it is to pay attention to every aspect of their lives, from nutrition and exercise to fun and hygiene. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I will be attentive to their needs and ensure they return home happy. Mijn partner en ik werken vanuit huis, waardoor we flexibele uren hebben om aandacht te besteden aan onze eigen huisdieren en natuurlijk ook aan die van jou. Onze huiselijke levensstijl zorgt ervoor dat er ‘s nachts altijd toezicht is. Toch ben ik degene die verantwoordelijk zal zijn voor de zorg van jouw huisdier. Lange wandelingen in het park of de natuur zijn gegarandeerd in het weekend, en dagelijks spelen we binnenshuis met de honden. We gaan 3 à 4 keer per dag naar buiten – in de ochtend, middag en avond – zodat de hond meerdere keren per dag zijn behoefte kan doen en wat beweging krijgt. Dit draagt bij aan een goede nachtrust en de algehele gezondheid van het dier. ********************************************************************************* My partner and I work from home, which gives us flexible hours to pay attention to our own pet and, of course, yours during the day. Our home-based lifestyle ensures constant supervision at night. However, I will be the one solely responsible for taking care of your pet. Long walks in the park or nature are guaranteed on weekends, and daily playtime indoors is part of our routine. We go out 3 to 4 times a day – in the morning, afternoon, and evening – ensuring that the pet has multiple opportunities to relieve itself and get some exercise. This promotes restful sleep and overall health. Ons huis heeft twee verdiepingen en een tuin van meer dan 40 m². De benedenverdieping is hun plek: een open keuken- en eetruimte zonder bank, alleen ruimte voor de honden. Vanuit deze ruimte is er directe toegang tot de tuin. In de winter blijft de deur gesloten om naar buiten te gaan, maar in de zomer is de deur open, zodat ze vrij in en uit kunnen gaan. We gaan ook meerdere keren per dag naar buiten om met de bal te spelen, naast de wandelingen in het park. Idealiter hebben honden geen toegang tot de bovenverdieping, waar onze slaapkamer is. Dit is bespreekbaar, afhankelijk van de specifieke behoeften van jouw hond. We zijn flexibel! ********************************************************************************* Our house has two floors and a garden of more than 40m². The ground floor is their space—an open kitchen and dining area with no sofa, just room for the dogs. From this area, there is direct access to the patio. In winter, the door will be kept closed to go outside, but in summer, the door is open so they can freely go in and out. We also go outside several times a day to play ball, in addition to the walks in the park. Ideally, dogs won’t access the upper floor, where our bedroom is. However, this can be discussed based on your pet’s specific needs. We’re flexible!

“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.”

“Great service, friendly, and flexible.”

Over: We have been taken care of dogs for some years and we have also fostered a rescue dog before. We take care of dogs as if they are our own. We both work from home, so most of the time one or both of us are home to take care of the dog. We both work hybrid from home. When we are available to take care of your dog, one or both of us will be at home to take care of your dog. We live in an apartment with an elevator. We do not have a balcony. In our neighborhood, we have a park and a little forest to walk the dogs.

Over: I adopted my own dog Coco a year ago and have gone through trainings with her at de Gabber dog school . Before adopting Coco, I was the go-to dog sitter for my friends’ dogs. I take 3 walks a day with Coco including a long walk in Westerpark. Coco is super friendly and always looking to make new dog friends. I usually work from home from Friday to Monday. I have a routine of walking my dog 3 times a day including one in Westerpark and going to bigger parks on the weekend such as Amsterdamse Bos. I have everything needed for dog care in my apartment since I have our own dog. I also have plenty of (training) toys to keep dogs entertained.

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.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Alessandra provided for my dog, Gizmo! She went above and beyond in every way to ensure he was happy, healthy, and comfortable in her care. From the start, she treated Gizmo as if he were her own dog, giving him so much love and attention. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates she sent—seeing Gizmo happy and enjoying his time made me feel so much more at ease. I realised after leaving that I had forgotten one of Gizmo’s essentials, but Alessandra didn’t hesitate to step in and buy it for him, which was such a kind and thoughtful gesture. On top of that, she made sure Gizmo had plenty of exercise, taking him on regular walks and keeping up with his usual routine. I will surely be making use of Alessandra in future!”

“Ilona is a true cat whisperer! I needed someone to look after my cat while I was away, and she did an absolutely amazing job. She took care of everything—feeding, playtime, and all the little quirks my cat has. But the real proof? My usually aloof and picky cat actually warmed up to her! She handled everything quickly and professionally, and I could tell my cat felt completely comfortable and safe. When I came back, he barely even noticed me—he was too busy enjoying Ilona’s company! If you need someone reliable and caring to look after your furry overlord, Ilona is the best choice.”

Over: A cute dog can make my day - so I like making theirs as well. I’ve had dogs since I was 10, and recently got a small, very friendly puppy who’d love to run around with a furry friend. I’ve been training with him, and could work with your dog as well. More than anything, your dog would have a fun, cozy time, with lots of activities to get them home nice and tired, well-fed and fulfilled. I am flexible on week nights and available on weekends, also overnight. Most Fridays I’m available during the day as well. I take my own very friendly puppy for long walks to the park or woods as well, so yours is more than welcome! The dogs can play or chew a bone in my spacious living room, or take a quiet nap in a separate room. Depending on your dogs needs, they can easily be crated as well. The park is nearby for walks and play. My 9 month old puppy can’t wait to host or hang out!

“Annelies has been nothing less than wonderful. She’s a great and kind person who took care of our dog for an extended period of time, and provided us with updates along the way, took care of our dog when he needed to have an unexpected health issue that came up just before we left him with here and needed to be looked after. I absolutely recommended her and we will sure think of her before anyone else for the future ❤️”

“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.”

“Happy with this first experience. Saïka had a perfect weekend with long walk, while being safe as they well took into consideration her struggle with her peers ! Will definitely re-ask them to baby sit Saïka !!!”

“Had a great experience with Ghalia. Our dog Taco clearly loved his time with her and she communicated well during our trip abroad. I can recommend contacting Ghalia if you are looking for a dog sitter”

“Tiago was so great! We loved how flexible he was with our trip schedule, what great care he took of our pups, and his communication. Highly recommend!”

Over: My pet care experience comes from my firefighter rescue team experience for 15 years (K9) always in touch with education and practice. Namely caring of my partner "Lucius" and helping my colleagues with yours. Also as a pet carer for 15y with particular costumers Caring with love, because the pets are the most lovely people in the world. We give what we receive. Simple Your Pet's best friend available all week and weekend😉 All day walks, bath, physical activities outside and inside. Also possible some education as much as possible. With us your pet can fell at home, safe and happy

“Sophia looked after Luka like he was her own. He got lots of attention, met new friends and regular walks, and we got daily photo-reports. Sophia is conveniently located in north Jordaan not far from Noordermarkt, and was very flexible about pick-up time (our flight was delayed). Thanks Sophia! Luka is looking forward to next time :)”

“As always, Kevin was amazing taking care of Lusia. Knowing she’s in safe hands and being spoiled to bits by Kevin is reassuring and enables us to enjoy our holidays without her. When unforeseen things happens (ahem, I forgot to provide enough food…) Kevin is proactive and helps out. I have only good things to say about Kevin and his professionalism. 🙏”

“Leyre and Inigo were the perfect sitters for Oliver! From all the pictures and videos they sent I could tell Oliver had the best time 😊. I will definitely be using them again next time I need a sitter and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a fun, caring sitter for their dog!”

“I give this with a full heart and some reluctance because I don’t want anyone else to have Késia dog sit because we want to keep her all to ourselves! Our doggies didn’t want to leave 🤣 they loved their stay so much and came home full of cuddles and a bit angry we took them away from their new “mama” 🥰🥰🥰 thank you Késia! You rock 🥰🤩 we are so glad we met you 🥰 And for some info; amazing home, so relaxed and the girls settled in so fast! Késia also gave lots of updates and I felt so glad to know they were so well looked after 🥰”

“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.”
