Hondenopvang in Zaanstad

Over: Dear pet owners, my name is Paulien, I'm 25 years old and I live in Amsterdam-West. I have a studio apartment of 27m². I live on the ground floor, so there are no stairs, in case if your furr baby has trouble or isn't allowed to walk up and down stairs yet. I have finished college, I want to become a dog trainer next year, which is an online study, so I'll have plenty of time next to my study to take care of your furr babie(s). I don't have any pets of my own, so I have all the time to do what I love most, taking care of animals! I always make sure that my calendar is updated, but I'm free most of the time! Back in 2018 I had a partner who has 1 dog and 3 cats. I loved taking care of them, take long walks in the park or at the beach. Nothing brings me more joy than play and cuddle with them. My partner at the time had a family friend who owned a dog named Shana and used to take care of their dog, whenever she was on vacation, before she passed away. The reason why I don't have a pet of my own is because my apartment is too small (27m²). So I searched for an option where I can still take care and show my love for pets. I found Rover and started working through here in 2019 as a pet sitter. My heart aches for animals and I want to share my love for them with as many pet owners as I can. I'd love to learn more where needed. Rince Rover is my full time job, I have plenty of time to take care of your furr babies! I can take your dog(s) on long walks if you'd like or stay inside and play/cuddle with some lovely cats. My apartment is fairly small and I don't have a garden where dogs can play, so I'd take them to the park near me (Westerpark) to have some fun, run around and just have a good time. With cats I just like to play with them, cuddle with them and of course let them have their own space where they can rest and explore. I will make sure to give them their space and let them get used to me. I will let the pets be and let them come to me before interacting, I respect their space and want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. When I would be staying in your home, I will always ask if there are things I have to be cautious about (for instance, if the dog is anxious, make sure he doesn't get sensory overladed and if so, because it can be pretty crowded outside, please go back home).

Over: Ik ben opgegroeid met honden en paarden, dus dieren maken al mijn hele leven deel uit van mijn dagelijks leven. Nu mijn ouders in Italië wonen met hun geadopteerde hondje uit Spanje en twee katjes die ik vanaf hun geboorte heb meegemaakt, mis ik het gezelschap van een dierenvriendje om me heen. Daarom lijkt het me ontzettend fijn om via Rover op te passen. Of het nu gaat om een fijne wandeling, een speels moment of gewoon wat liefdevolle aandacht – ik ben er met plezier. Je huisdier is bij mij in vertrouwde en zorgzame handen. Ik werk momenteel veel vanuit huis als freelancer, waardoor ik flexibel ben en doordeweeks én in het weekend beschikbaar ben voor wandelingen of opvang. Samen kijken we wat het beste werkt. Ik heb zelf geen huisdieren thuis, dus jouw hond of kat krijgt alle aandacht. Hoewel ik alleen een balkon heb, ligt er een fijn parkje direct voor mijn deur – perfect voor wandelingen en frisse lucht. Binnen is er voldoende ruimte om een bench te plaatsen als dat gewenst is. Een rustige, veilige plek voor jouw dierenvriend!

“We had such a fantastic experience with Megan and her partner Ryenn! Before the booking, we did a pre-meet and it was clear right away that they were absolute naturals with dogs. Beanie, our mini Teckel/ Dachshund, loved them from the very first moment and that immediately put us at ease. Whilst we were away they stuck closely to Beanie’s routine, which I'm sure really helped her feel at home. They took her on walks, played with her, and showered her with attention. They even tried to walk her in the rain (despite her strong opinions about that!) — it just showed how committed and thoughtful they were in giving her the best care. We also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which reassured us that she was happy and in great hands. Beanie looked so comfortable and well-loved the whole time (we absolutely loved getting pictures of her curled up on the sofa with them! Just showed how much she loved them as she doesn't normally do that!). We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her and will 100% book them again. Highly recommended!”

“Ember was very happy with Kerri even though it was a very hot day. Kerri kept her comfortable and safe and made her feel loved with lots of cuddles. We highly recommend Kerri as a dog sitter.”

“Bob had a great day with Andrea! He immediately felt comfortable with her and Andrea is very kind.”

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!

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. 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 pup can’t wait to host or hang out!

“Iñigo looked after Kiki for the evening, and he did a splendid job! I got photo updates and he followed the instructions that I had provided. Kiki seemed happy to be in his care and I am looking forward to future bookings with Leyre and Iñigo! ☺️”

Over: I am 27 years old and from the UK. I’ve had dogs from a very young age and rescued 8 puppies whilst living abroad. I am currently helping friends and family when they need a sitter, walking, over night stay and whatever your dog needs to feel happy! I have recently left my job and taking some months off so I have time to take of your pets during the week and at the weekends, whatever you need help with. I have an apartment in Amsterdam with a balcony which has been extended so they will have lots of room to move around and relax.

“Sophia was really communicative and provided me with detailed day report for Teddy. Teddy came back happy and refreshed. Would love to seek your help again Sophia!! Thank you so much once again for accepting last min request :)”

Over: I grew up with a gentle St. Bernard, who was not only my first dog but also a lasting influence on my personality—slow-paced, observant, and mild-tempered, just like her. Taking care of her from puppyhood through old age taught me patience, responsibility, and how to communicate with animals on their terms. In recent years, my husband and I have spent our summers (every year except this one) at a country house in Sweden, where we live with three dogs: a Chow Chow, a French Bulldog, and a Pug. Each has their own quirks and needs, and I’ve become attuned to managing different breeds—from the independent and aloof to the affectionate and energetic. Daily routines include feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and health monitoring, all of which have deepened my understanding of canine behaviour and strengthened my bond with animals. I’m a PhD student at the university, so apart from occasional meetings with my supervisors, I have full control over my schedule. This flexibility allows me to do light work—such as reading or answering emails—while keeping the dogs company, and to take them on regular walks. Having dogs around brings warmth to my day and keeps me active, especially when I’m home alone. I provide them a place to feel comfortable and relaxed while trying to activate them by going on walks, teaching them trick etc. I adapt my approach depending on the pet’s temperament and routine, and I always take time to build trust. In my flat (and especially at our country house in Sweden), I care for multiple dogs of different breeds, so I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and giving medication if needed. I also pay attention to their emotional needs—some want constant company, others prefer space. I respect both.

“Paulina and her boyfriend were wonderful. They were really flexible and understanding, they sent lots of pictures from our two pups. They were extremely nice I highly recommend!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies ☺️☺️☺️☺️”

Over: Hi there :) I’m an experienced pet caregiver with a genuine passion for animals. As I’m currently taking a break from work, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your furry friends. Taking care of pets brings me so much joy, and I’d love to help keep your pets happy, active, and comfortable when you’re not around. Why Me? • I’m home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. • Experience with a variety of pet personalities and needs. • I believe in treating every pet with the same love and respect I would give my own. • I prioritize open communication with owners, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently working part-time, therefore I have a lot of free time to spend with your loved ones! I like to wake up early, do exercises outside (therefore I love to walk with dogs) and spoil out furry friends with a lot of cuddles and love. I live in a spacious apartment with a balcony and close to my building there is a very big green area where all the dogs are running and playing. Pets will almost never be left unsupervised, since I'm currently on leave from work. I like to respect the environment of the pet - he is in a new house and needs to adapt, sometimes it’s not easy! I can administer oral medication and will keep the contact of your vet in case of emergency!

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: Hi, I'm Carmen! I'm a theatre artist. Alongside my passion for the stage, I'm also a devoted dog lover. While I don't have a pup of my own right now in Amsterdam, I'm all about showering love on furry friends through dog sitting. I have been passionate about caring for dogs for over 15 years. In addition to having pets of my own (my furry friend died few years ago), I have volunteered at dog shelters for several years and I am currently employed at DOA as a volunteer, an animal shelter located in Amsterdam where I work with shelter dogs. During my time at DOA, I have received extensive training on how to properly walk dogs, including leash manners and using positive reinforcement techniques. I have also gained experience handling different types of dogs, including those with behavioral issues such as aggression and anxiety. I'm located in Amsterdam-Noord, just a stone's throw away from the Noord metro station. My cozy 2-bedroom apartment with a spacious 65m2 and a huge balcony is the perfect spot for pups to relax and play. Plus, we've got plenty of green spaces and beautiful parks nearby, like Noorderpark, Vliegenbos, Baanakkerpark, and my personal favorite, Schellingwouderbreekpark. They're all just a short 15-minute walk away! I take great pride in providing a safe and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care. I believe that every dog deserves to be treated with love and respect, and I strive to provide them with the attention and care they need to thrive. I am a theatre artist and an illustrator who work from home, which allows me to provide flexible pet care services throughout the day. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests or changes to your pet's routine. I am available on weekdays, weekends and holidays. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I work closely with pet owners to ensure their preferences are met. This includes following any specific feeding or medication schedules, adhering to training routines, and creating a comfortable and familiar environment for the pet.

Over: have been taking care of dogs of all breeds and sizes for over three years. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care, I provide attentive and loving service. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and ensure their pets feel safe and happy while they’re away. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or giving belly rubs, I treat every dog like my own. I understand each pup has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care to keep tails wagging! and Have an experience of k9 training for Belgian malinois. im currently studying in university so i have a lot of time to spend with pets. and Around my free time would be very great! I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I create a calm and comfortable environment. I follow any specific instructions, provide regular walks, and ensure pets get enough exercise and attention. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on their behavior, and ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times.

Over: Hallo💃🏾 mijn naam is Rebecca en ik woon op een paar minuten afstand van het geweldige Jagersplas park. Ik zal hieronder wat over mijzelf vertellen. In mijn jeugd altijd honden gehad thuis. Het is zo fijn om een maatje te hebben waar je altijd mee kan kroelen. Honden zijn trouwe dieren die er altijd voor je zijn. Daarnaast hebben ze ook nog eens humor! Ik heb zelf een paar jaar geleden een ander huisje gezocht voor mijn Aussie. Ik kwam in een burn-out en kon niet meer ver lopen. Ik zie Kai nog elk jaar in Zeeland en hij is gelukkiger dan ooit. Het was een verdrietige situatie maar het was nog erger niet goed te kunnen zorgen voor hem. Ik heb meerdere trainingen met Kai en ben dus wel wat gewend. Ik vind het erg leuk om te trainen en gebaren aan te leren. Wist je dat honden ontzettend visueel zijn ingesteld? Je kan een hond makkelijk trainen en opdrachten geven met handgebaren. Inmiddels ben ik steeds mobieler en zou het leuk vinden af en toe op te passen. Ik mis het wel namelijk. Ik woon in een maisonnette met mijn zoon een vriend. Mijn zoon is 14 en ook hartstikke dol op honden. Uw hond krijgt hier dan ook alle aandacht en liefde. Ik heb een ruim dakterras en het park is om de hoek! Ik kom daar elke dag voor een wandeling dus uw viervoeter kan gezellig mee natuurlijk. Verder ga ik graag naar het bos of het strand. Ik hoop uw hond snel te mogen knuffelen. Ik ben volledig thuis en beschikbaar. Ik ga elke dag wandelen in het park en kan alle aandacht geven die een hond nodig heeft. Ik ben weinig buiten de deur dan voor een boodschap. Ik heb een mooi terras op het zuiden, in de zomer heerlijk met een parasol. Ik woon op drie hoog in een maisonnette, er is een lift.

Over: As a kid I was surrounded by cats and also by dogs when I grew up! I will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I have a Bernese mountain dog who is under 1 year old and together our dogs will have a lot of fun, play and walks! I work from home, so I’m almost always with your pet and with my dog. I would usually take my dog for 3-4 walks of 30 minutes in the day, one short walk in the morning when we wake up and before going to bed, and we have a play session or longer walk in the evening before or after dinner. I take care of your dog like my own. I know that it can be stressful to leave your pet to someone else. Therefore I will follow your indications (home rules, cage, food, education, schedule…). I can send you pictures during the day. Of course I’ll take allergies, fears or need of space from your dog into consideration.

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.

Over: Hoi! Ik ben Milou en ik ben dol op honden. Op dit moment zit ik tijdelijk thuis van mijn werk en heb ik wat extra tijd over. Omdat ik graag in beweging blijf en het fijn vind om buiten te zijn, leek het me leuk om via Rover af en toe een hondje uit te laten. Ik heb ervaring met honden als huisdier en weet hoe belangrijk het is dat je hond met aandacht en zorg wordt uitgelaten. Zelf hoop ik ooit een eigen hond te hebben, maar voor nu help ik graag andere baasjes in de buurt. Mocht je een betrouwbare uitlater zoeken, dan maak ik graag kennis met jullie! Op dit moment zit ik tijdelijk thuis van mijn werk, waardoor ik overdag en soms ook ’s avonds extra tijd heb. Die ruimte wil ik graag goed besteden door honden uit te laten en ze wat extra beweging en aandacht te geven. Tijdens het uitlaten zorg ik er altijd voor dat de hond veilig en ontspannen mee kan. Ik houd rekening met de behoeften van de hond, loop op rustige plekken en laat een hond alleen los als dat van tevoren duidelijk is afgesproken en veilig kan.
