Hondenopvang Zaanstad

Over: I’m a highly experienced dog owner with 9 years of hands-on care, having raised my dog from puppy to adulthood. I understand energetic, intelligent dogs well and provide consistent, attentive care. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and interaction throughout the day. We live in a house with a garden, offering space to play and relax safely. My household includes two children on a part-time basis, both familiar and comfortable with dogs, creating a calm and social environment for any visiting pet. I'm working from home and can take care of your pet based on it's needs. I'm walking my dog twice a day for roughly 1 - 1,5 hours but I'm very flexible when it comes to my work schedule and walking times. I have a fenced yard and live in a house. My dog Milo is very friendly and gets along with almost all dogs. There are nice parks nearby to provide long walks (Burgermeester park, Jagersveld, Twiske). I am comfortable to give medicine to your dog. I consider myself a very experienced dog owner.

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.

“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. 🦮”

“Couldn’t be happier! Our (very) anxious dog was incredibly comfortable in the care of Laura and her partner for 10 days. They treated him like their own, and it was no trouble having him there with their own dog. We frequently received updates, and he looked great when we picked him up. We are happy we found our dog a good place, and will definitely let him stay there again if needed.”

Over: “I love animals and I am a responsible, caring and calm person who truly enjoys taking good care of dogs. I am punctual, trustworthy and always focused on making sure every pet feels safe and happy. I am new to professional pet sitting, but I have personal experience taking care of dogs from family and friends. This has taught me to be patient, attentive and responsible. I also have a small dog at home. She is friendly, calm and fully vaccinated, which has helped me better understand dogs and their needs. I am very used to living with pets and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to provide the best care possible. I enjoy long walks, playing, and spending time with dogs. I am available in Zaandam and Amsterdam and I am motivated to learn and grow while providing loving and reliable care.” I am a student and I study English for about three hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. After my classes, I am fully available and flexible for pet care during the rest of the day and week. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily include walks and care in my daily routine. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. At home, I have a friendly dog, and I am used to caring for animals responsibly. My house has a garden, but it is not fenced, so I only allow outdoor time under supervision or I go for regular walks instead. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and supervised at all times. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and providing them with attention, exercise and care.

“I had a great experience with these dog sitters. My dog has a unique personality and requires specific care, and they followed all of his routines and instructions perfectly. They kept me updated throughout my time away with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend them and would definitely trust them with my dog again. Thank you so much for everything! 🐾😊”

Over: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I provide patient, loving and attentive care. I am responsible with feeding, walks, playtime and cuddles, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am flexible and available to care for your pets on weekdays and weekends. I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, clean and loving environment. I always follow their routine and special needs, providing constant attention, care and supervision to make them feel comfortable and at home.

Over: Hello! My name is Zuzanna, I work as Sustainability Manager and love hanging out with pets as a side hassle. I love cats for their pride, independence, and intelligence. I also adore dogs and how cheerful they are. It is fascinating how their personalities differ from one to another. I will be glad to pet and hug the cuddly types, but I also respect the reserved individualists ;) And I just love long walks! I am also able to administer medication and do the injections, if needed. I can also water your plants ;) I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. My agenda is quite flexible, so I could both drop-in couple times a day, or stay over at your place. I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor. We have 2 balconies and a park nearby. My husband is happy to help in case pets are lodging at ours, so they would rarely stay home alone.

“Tripti was amazing Goose had a great time. She sent so many cute pictures and her place is perfect for a pet to stay, close to the park and super cozy. You could tell how much Tripti loves animals, she and goose had an amazing time”

“Nadine is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met for the first time, I immediately felt that Kay would be in the best hands. She asked every possible question about his routine, habits, personality, and everything he might need during his stay. It was clear from the beginning how experienced, caring, and dedicated she is. Throughout my vacation, Nadine sent me daily photos and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could truly relax, knowing that Kay was happy, safe, and receiving so much love and attention. As a wonderful bonus, Kay learned how to use the lift and the stairs while staying with her! That says a lot about the time, patience, and encouragement she gave him. Nadine is incredibly kind, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, and I would choose her again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Nadine!”

Over: I don't remember when I didn't have dogs, they are my faithful companions since I was born. I had small, medium-sized dogs and now with my family we have a giant German shepherd! Now that I live in Amsterdam and I miss my puppy I wish I could give my love to other puppies! I am loving and attentive to the needs of a dog, I love taking long walks. I can't wait to meet your pets ! :) I have a full time job with some days of working from home, and on friday i finish at 4. I come home very early after work. And in any case I'm flexible if needed. I live in the middle of Westerpark so in a really green and dog friendly place. I can bring the dog to have walks really often.

“Anastasia was the best person i could ask for to take care of our little Zeno. She was lovely and caring and sending pictures regularly. I will definitely ask her help again! Thank you Anastasia ❤️”

“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”

Over: I’m not highly trained, but I truly understand pets on a personal level. I can read their body language, recognize their moods, and sense what they need—whether it’s playtime, rest, or affection. I believe every pet deserves patience, love, and gentle care tailored to their unique personality, and I’m committed to providing just that with respect and kindness. I mainly work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of breaks to play, walk, and care for your pet. I live in a spacious, modern 65m² flat in Westerpark—maybe you’ve seen the new green building from the street. The apartment has a large living room with a comfy couch where your pet can relax and chill with me while enjoying a lovely view of Amsterdam. This environment makes it easy to fit quality pet care naturally into my daily routine. I will take care of your pet with the utmost care and attention, making sure every need is met with patience, kindness, and respect. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I will treat them as if they were my own, always being extremely careful in every step of their care.
