Dagopvang Zaanstad

Over: Net als mijn partner heb ik voor verschillende dieren en hondenrassen gezorgd. Ik leef al met dieren sinds mijn tiende. Ik heb voor pasgeboren puppy's gezorgd en ik heb voor mijn lieve Dana (een 13-jarige beagle) gezorgd tot ze kort geleden is overleden. Ik hecht veel waarde aan training, omdat ik geloof dat het de mentale gezondheid van onze huisdieren ondersteunt en hen in staat stelt een gelukkig leven binnen het gezin te leiden. Door de zorg voor oudere honden heb ik geleerd hoe belangrijk het is om aandacht te besteden aan elk aspect van hun leven, van voeding en beweging tot plezier en hygiëne. Ik zal voor uw huisdier zorgen alsof het mijn eigen huisdier is. Ik zal aandacht hebben voor hun behoeften en ervoor zorgen dat ze blij naar huis gaan. • 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 I took care of my lovely Dana (13 yo beagle) until she passed away short ago. 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 overdag op uw hond te letten. Doordat we vanuit huis werken, is er 's nachts constant toezicht. Ik ben echter de enige die verantwoordelijk is voor de verzorging van uw huisdier. In het weekend maken we gegarandeerd lange wandelingen in het park of de natuur, en dagelijks spelen binnenshuis hoort bij onze routine. We kunnen meerdere keren per dag naar buiten gaan – 's ochtends, 's middags en 's avonds – zodat uw huisdier voldoende gelegenheid heeft om zijn behoefte te doen en te bewegen. Dit bevordert een goede nachtrust en de algehele gezondheid. • My partner and I work from home, which gives us flexible hours to pay attention to your doggy 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 can go out several 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 ongeveer 40 m². De begane grond is hun ruimte: een open keuken en eethoek met een bank, en genoeg plek voor de honden. Vanuit deze ruimte is er directe toegang tot de patio. In de winter houden we de deur naar buiten dicht, maar in de zomer staat de deur open zodat ze vrij in en uit kunnen lopen. We gaan ook meerdere keren per dag naar buiten om met de bal te spelen, naast de wandelingen in het park. • Our house has two floors and a garden of around 40m². The ground floor is their space—an open kitchen and dining area with sofa, and plenty of 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.

Over: Hi, I’m Ewelina! 🐾 Dogs have always had a very special place in my heart. Whenever I travel, I naturally find myself saying hello to dogs, playing with them, and enjoying their company. Being around them brings me genuine happiness. Although I haven’t owned a dog myself, I have experience caring for dogs privately and have also helped a friend who worked as a dog sitter. Those experiences made me realize how much I enjoy spending time with dogs and looking after them. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can give your dog plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment. I care for every dog as if they were part of my own family. I welcome friendly small and medium-sized dogs and always take the time to learn about each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐶 I currently have a very flexible schedule and can offer lots of love, attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for overnight stays, weekends, and longer bookings, and I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible I provide a safe, calm, and loving home where your dog will receive lots of attention, care, and cuddles. I’ll follow your dog’s routine and keep you updated with photos during their stay. 🐾

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!

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.

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.

“Wat een fijne oppas! Marcel hield ons de hele dag op de hoogte met foto's en filmpjes. Je huisdier is in goede handen bij hem. Hij zet het dierenwelzijn op de eerste plaats, geweldig!”

Over: Hi! 😊 Honden zijn voor mij echt familie en ik vind het belangrijk dat ze zich veilig, geliefd en op hun gemak voelen. Ik heb een tijd op een ranch in Duitsland gewoond waar we twee Australian Shepherds en een Border Collie hadden. De Aussies heb ik grotendeels vanaf pup opgevoed en met onze Border Collie, die een lastig verleden had, ben ik ook meerdere keren naar de hondenschool geweest. Daardoor heb ik geleerd goed om te gaan met verschillende karakters en gedragingen. Daarnaast heb ik vaak opgepast op de Jack Russell van een vriendin tijdens vakanties en andere momenten. Ik hou van lange wandelingen, avontuur en actief bezig zijn met honden — vroeger nam ik ze zelfs regelmatig mee tijdens het paardrijden 😊 Ik ben geduldig, rustig en speels, maar durf ook duidelijk en consequent te zijn wanneer dat nodig is. Medicatie geven is geen probleem en ik sta open voor alle soorten honden. Ik geloof niet echt in “slechte rassen”, iedere hond is anders en verdient een eerlijke kans en liefdevolle begeleiding. Verder heb ik een auto, dus uitstapjes of ophalen is vaak mogelijk. En ja… als een hond graag bij je op bed kruipt voor extra knuffels, dan vind ik dat helemaal gezellig 🐾 Momenteel heb ik nog geen vaste baan, waardoor ik veel vrije tijd en flexibiliteit heb. Daardoor kan ik huisdieren veel aandacht geven, wandelingen plannen en mijn dagelijkse routine aanpassen aan hun behoeften Ik zorg voor een rustige, veilige en vertrouwde omgeving voor ieder huisdier en heb een omheind tuintje. Ik geef veel aandacht, houd rekening met hun karakter en behoeften en zorg voor duidelijke structuur, veilige wandelingen en goede verzorging

“Super sweet. Bob had a lovely day and came home relaxed!! Thank you so much!”

Over: I come from a family of animal lovers, and we have always kept both dogs and cats. Currently, back in my hometown, our home is happily shared with two Teddy dogs, one Border Collie, and seven cats—three of which I personally rescued as strays. Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep understanding of their behaviors and needs. My practical experience includes assisting in the delivery of two litters of puppies and one litter of kittens, which taught me to handle delicate situations with calmness and care. I also regularly participate in small animal rescue volunteering, further developing my skills in nurturing and rehabilitating animals in need. I am patient, attentive, and have some basic dog training experience. Currently, I am not employed elsewhere, so I have abundant free time to dedicate fully to caring for pets. I am flexible and can adapt to various schedules and routines. My house have a dog-friendly park right in front, a riverside walking path behind my home, and a big yard at home for pets to run around freely. Dogs can roam between the house and the yard—it’s a cozy, happy space for them! Im a full time pet sitter now. So I can provide dogs with extended companionship and offer two long walks daily(at least 45 minutes), once in the morning and once in the evening. Everyday between 2-3pm, I’ll let doggy play freely in our 90 square meter yard. Any dog can play freely in the house and garden. I will also take care of them according to their habits at home, such as whether they go on the sofa or sleep in the bed with me. I always keep dog treats and wet food on hand for the dogs to eat in limited quantities for free. I also observe the dogs' ears, skin, teeth, diet, and bowel movements and urination every day to make sure they are health. I can also increase the number of walks if dog has special needs.

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.

Over: I have grown up with pets my whole life! Lots of experience with dogs, cats & more. Previously fostered dogs in Ireland (4 beautiful German shepherds) I work full time in Amsterdam, available for dog walking daily & pet sitting visits in house very flexible hours also daily, depending on when needed of course. I have cared for a friends kitten in my own home, keeping him indoors. I have also cared for neighbors and friends doing house visits!

“Hele fijne en betrouwbare oppas top!! Mijn hond was helemaal relaxed”

Over: I grew up with dogs and, as an adult, have regularly cared for dogs for friends, so I feel very comfortable and confident around them. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that’s going for active walks and playtime or simply relaxing together for a cuddle on the couch. I am the sole caregiver and will always be the one responsible for your dog’s care and supervision. I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is in safe, reliable hands. I do have an 8-year-old child who is present after school hours. He is very gentle, respectful, and absolutely loves dogs. He enjoys playing and cuddling with them, but your dog will never be left alone with him—I am always present and supervising interactions to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I work full time, but I am self-employed, so can bring dogs with me to work. From there we can go for a longer walk around lunchtime, or shorter toilet breaks as necessary. Longer walks are also possible before or after work. On weekends we can go for adventures to the many parks of Amsterdam. I have a bakfiets, so if it’s ok with you, we can get around town with the wind in our fur! I have a clean and welcoming environment in my home, with room for playing and napping. I live on the third floor, and there are stairs inside my apartment too. I’m happy to carry smaller dogs up and down, but this might be something to consider. In general, when I am caring for a dog, it’s much like having a child to take care of. I do have an 8 year old (who is very sweet and gentle with dogs), so your dog has to be friendly and comfortable with children. I also need to know how your dog is with other dogs and people, so I can act accordingly. I never let dogs off leash before i know them very well, because I take my responsibility very seriously. And always pick up poop!

Over: Biggest fan of animals 😍 we always had pets when I was growing up and before I moved to Amsterdam, but hasn't worked out for me to have a pet since living here due to travels. Happy to take care of your dog or cat for some days , and ideally make it a longer term relationship ☺️ I mostly work from home these days and live near a park, so we will have amazing walks! 
I've been pet sitting for my cousin, friends and also via Pawshake for the last few years, and it's something that brings a lot of joy 🥰 I give a lot of love and attention to my guests. 
Prefer to meet up before confirming a gig , especially if it is for a longer period 🐶🐾🐕
 about me: I'm a corporate hippie, trying to find my way out of the office life by learning new things and starting to work for myself. Love nature, sports, travels and of course animals 😌 I work from home most of the days and take frequent walks to Rembrandt park that’s just a few steps away from my house 🥰 My guests get all the love and attention from me when I’m hosting, lots of hugs and playing! And the walks i cant get enough of 🙂‍↔️

“We were quite nervous about leaving our puppy with someone for the first time, but Tripti was super sweet and immediately put us at ease. We received lovely updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. At the end of the day, when I picked Marie up again, she was tired but very happy. Overall, it was a really great experience! 🐾”

“Everything went great, Nadine is super kind and Tory loved to stay with her 😊”

Over: My parents gave me my first dog at the age of 8, since then I’ve always loved animals. I’ve had experience with all kinds of dogs, from very small to very large. I’ve also had experience with different personalities, from timid to extroverted - I love them all. I’m currently in the market for my next corporate job after traveling the world for a year, so I have lots of time to care for pets! I have a small fenced garden in the back of our apartment and live very close to Erasmus park. I can walk and play with your dog as much as you like per day, just let me know their usual routine.

Over: I’m a responsible and attentive animal sitter based in Amsterdam. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide regular walks, a lot of playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, reliable, and happy to follow your animal’s routine so they feel at home while you’re away. I work remotely so am quite flexible. I work a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give dogs regular attention, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can adapt to your dog’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in a calm, pet-friendly home apartment in Amsterdam Oud Westand only host a limited number of dogs at a time so they receive plenty of attention. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, and routines, and I make sure pets always feel safe, relaxed, and supervised.

“Jose took very nice care of Pepita, was able to accomodate us last minute and even came to pick her up early in the morning. She seemed quite happy when I picked her up at night. Both Jose and Irene were very sweet both to me and to Pepi. Thank you for watching my baby!”

Over: I have been caring for both cats and dogs throughout my life, helping friends, family members, and neighbours with their pets whenever needed. Over the years, I have gained experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs, from energetic young pets to senior animals requiring extra attention and care. I also have experience caring for cats with special needs, including diabetic cats and cats requiring daily medication or specific treatments. I understand the importance of following routines carefully and paying close attention to a pet's well-being, behaviour, and comfort. My own cat was a beloved companion for many years, and I sadly lost him to old age two years ago. Through that experience, I became very familiar with senior cats and the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they often need. Whether your pet is young, elderly, shy, or requires special care, I will treat them with the same love and dedication I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or your cat prefers a calm and cosy environment, I can adapt to their individual needs and routine. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays for both short and longer stays. I live on a quiet street next to Westerpark, in a ground-floor apartment with a small private enclosed garden. I love starting my mornings with a walk through the park and a coffee, and it's a wonderful place for dogs to explore, play, and socialize with other dogs in a safe and friendly environment. > > At home, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it especially suitable for cats or pets who enjoy a quieter setting. I always make sure each pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved, while respecting their individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a more relaxed pace, I adapt my care to help them feel completely at ease.

“We are very satisfied with Elisabetta. The communication was good, and she kept us informed about what Elfi was doing. We will definitely come back to Elisabetta. You can leave your pet with her with peace of mind!!”
