Hondenopvang in Zaanstad

“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: 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: 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: Ik heb als kind zelf altijd honden gehad en ze ook altijd uitgelaten en veel met ze geknuffeld en gespeeld. Zelf hebben wij een chihuahua gehad die hebben we helaas moeten laten inslapen. Maar de liefde voor honden is er nog steeds mijn kindjes zijn ook gek op dieren. Ik werk in de zorg als zzp’er maar werk nooit hele lange uren achter elkaar kom tussen door altijd naar huis. Daarom hoeft de hond nooit langer dan 4 uurtjes alleen te zijn. De kindjes vinden het ook leuk om te helpen met het uitlaten en het borstelen van de hond Ik heb een omheinde Thuin dus de hond kan niet weg lopen. De hond mag bij ons op de bank liggen en op bed liggen

“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: I’ve grown up with both cats and a dog, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I know how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment and quickly understand what each pet needs to feel comfortable. I recently moved to Beverwijk and work remotely, which means I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. While I don’t have my own pet yet, I truly miss being around animals - so I’d love to walk, play, and spend quality time with yours. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to routines. Whether your pet enjoys active walks, quiet company, or lots of playtime, I’m happy to adapt and make them feel at home. I’d love to meet your furry friend and take great care of them while you’re away :) I am working a remote job so I will have plenty of time for your small one :) I am very affectionate and ready to take care of any needs your little friend may have. Ready to discuss all your expectations :) I live in a quiet and calm neighborhood which has a lot of parks nearby. My home is also very cozy and animal-friendly :) You are welcome to bring your favorite toys

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

Over: As a young girl, I had the wonderful opportunity to look after a family friend’s dog for one or two months at a time over several years. It brought me so much joy and helped me realise my love for animals, especially dogs. Since that dog sadly passed away, I’ve continued to enjoy caring for my friends’ dogs and taking them on lovely walks. I’m still hoping to find a furry companion of my own here in Amsterdam! I’m currently a student, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t have a fixed daily routine, so I’m often free to go for walks in the morning and around lunchtime. I live in Amsterdam in a cosy flat with two flatmates. It’s a safe and relaxed place, ideal for dogs to feel comfortable. Even though there’s no garden, I live right next to a lovely park where we can go for long walks every day. I always make sure each pet feels calm, cared for, and has plenty of attention.

Over: Hi! My name is Tripti, I am 40 years old. I'm a responsible, caring animal lover based in Amsterdam. I've always had a deep connection with animals, especially dogs. I was the proud owner of a Labrador named Tuffy, who was with me for 14 wonderful years. Taking care of him through every stage of his life gave me first-hand experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing senior care. As a pet sitter, I bring that same level of love, patience, and attention to your furry family member. Whether it's regular walks, feeding, companionship, or just some extra cuddles while you're away, I ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet — I've been there myself. I'd be honored to care for yours as if they were my own. I am currently not working, so I have ample time to give care, love, and cuddles pet who boards with me :) Looking forward to connecting soon. Thank you, Pet at my home will be treated as my own. I love playing with pets and have a lot of space at home where they can run and play. There is a nice forest which is just 5 5-minute walk from my apartment, where pets love to run around and even sometimes socialize with other pets.

Over: I've been studying in the Netherlands for two years now, and during this time, I've had the joy of petsitting over 30 dogs and cats. I'm originally from China, where I had a Papillon named Sanbao and an American Shorthair tabby named Bawan, who's now seven years old. After moving to the Netherlands, I missed them so much that I decided to start petsitting—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Over the past two years, I've welcomed all kinds of dogs into my home, and through housesitting, I’ve also stayed at many lovely homes across Amsterdam. Each pet I've cared for holds a special place in my heart: from the giant poodle Floppy, to the sweet Shih Tzu Coco, the spirited Shiba Inu Ukemochi, and the mixed-breed duo Teto & Jaap... Every experience has been unique and meaningful. I'm patient, responsible, and familiar with commands in several languages. I love cuddles, I'm warm and enthusiastic, and I always spend quality time playing with the pets I look after. I don't think I'm helping them, they also help me with having a good time during my study here, and grow into a more responsible adult! I'm a student in college with only a few classes each week, and my schedule is quite flexible. If a dog needs walking, I usually come home right after a two-hour lecture. This means I have plenty of time to spend playing and bonding with pets. With summer coming up, I’ll have even more free time! I’m flexible on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m always happy to discuss and adjust to what works best for you. I live alone in a spacious 35m² studio. While I don't have a backyard, my neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful, right next to the canal—a lovely area where many people walk their dogs. I always encourage a meet & greet before a booking, so we can make sure everything feels right for both you and your pet!

“Ioana was a great sitter for our young Podengo Xandro. She was flexible, punctual and communicative. We felt comfortable leaving our dog with her for the day and will definitely book again. Xandro had a very nice time!”

Over: Hello hello! Barbara here! It will be great to take care of your cold-nosed family member. I have been taking care of my friends' and family's dogs for a long time, since I was a little girl I have always had them at home. They won't lack love, care and fun. I am available all day. Regarding weekends, I also have time available. We can always arrange the ideal time for you. Write to me, it would be a pleasure. I enjoy with all my heart to be able to share my time with these beautiful beings and nature. I worked for some time as a veterinary administrator! A few things I know. I have some parks very close to my home where we can have a lot of fun. Contact me to answer any questions you may have.

“My dog had a great stay! Tatiani listened very well to my instructions and made sure he was happy and safe. We would both love to meet again.”

Over: Ik heb veel ervaring met verschillende huisdieren. Ik heb konijnen, cavia’s en hamsters verzorgd, en zelfs de kleintjes geboren zien worden. Ook heb ik ervaring met het uitlaten en verzorgen van honden van buren. Ik zorg ervoor dat elk huisdier zich veilig en geliefd voelt. Ik ben zeer flexibel en beschikbaar op vrijwel elk moment van de dag. Of het nu ochtend, middag of avond is, ik kan me aanpassen aan de planning van uw huisdier. Ik zorg ervoor dat zowel het huisdier als het huis veilig zijn. Ik volg de instructies van de eigenaar nauwkeurig en houd het huisdier altijd onder controle.

“Great sitter! Very flexible and friendly :)”

Over: Back at home in Poland I have three cats who are my best friends. Although I never had the pleasure of having my own dog, I love all sizes, ages, and breeds. I will provide the best care I can to your pets, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree at the University of Amsterdam. Due to my student status, my days are very flexible. Besides the times I have to be in class (which is only a couple of hours during the week), I am available. I love to live a healthy and active live with lots of walks, balanced by quality time at home. Both in my home and at the owner's home I am focused on safety and comfort of the pets. I believe it is most important to preserve the routine and habits of the pet. I am happy to make adjustments to my home and adhere to the rules of the owner (both in mine and your homes), as they are the ones that know their pets best. Important notice: I live on the fourth floor, with a typical steep Dutch staircase. I am more than happy to help your pets get up and down the stairs if I can, but please take that into consideration.

Over: Hi there! I’m Ausrine, and animals have been my greatest passion since childhood. Growing up, I dreamed of having both a dog and a cat—and that dream came true early! At age 5, I got my first pet, a bunny. Two years later, we welcomed a curly-haired Bichon Frise into our family, and soon after, we rescued a sweet cat. Ever since, I’ve felt a deep connection with animals—whether it’s a dog, a cat, or even a goat, I just can’t pass one without stopping to admire it. 🐶 My Experience I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have learned a lot from caring for them. When I moved to another city for university, I began volunteering at an animal shelter. I was later selected to work specifically with rescued dogs that had behavioral challenges such as anxiety, reactivity, and dependency. This experience inspired me deeply. It taught me how to build trust with scared or sensitive animals and how much patience, calmness, and consistency can transform a pet’s life. I learned to read subtle signs of stress and understand their emotional needs. Eventually, I adopted my own dog (~4 years ago), Kopa—a wonderful and sensitive soul with a history of trauma. She’s been my greatest teacher. To help her (and deepen my knowledge), I completed several dog training programs, including: • Puppy pre-course • Advanced obedience training • Anxiety-focused dog training • Dog gym training • Agility training (which we’re doing now!) I’ve also pet-sat many breeds, including Australian Shepherds, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, King Cavaliers, Poodles, and rescue dogs with complex personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always approach each pet with love and responsibility. In addition to dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats—both social and shy, young and senior. I understand their body language, respect their boundaries, and create a calm environment where they feel safe and at ease. 🐱 🏡 What You Can Expect A Loving Home Away from Home Your dog will be welcomed into a warm, calm household and treated as part of the family. I live with my fiancé, and together we create a loving, safe, and friendly environment for pets. We live literally in front of Western Park, so daily walks and outdoor time are right on our doorstep. For dogs who need a quieter environment, we also have options to go to less busy areas nearby, perfect for sensitive or anxious dogs. I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to move and relax. If needed, I can provide a separate bedroom so your pet can have personal space, peace, and privacy. Respect for Your Routine I understand the importance of consistency. Share your pet’s routine, habits, and training cues, and I’ll do my best to keep everything familiar and structured. Photo & Video Updates I know how much it matters to stay connected while you’re away. I’ll send you regular updates, including messages, photos, and videos. Prefer video calls? I’m happy to arrange those too! Walks & Mental Stimulation Daily walks, play, and enrichment are part of our rhythm. Whether we’re exploring the neighborhood, working on training, or socializing with others, your dog will stay happy, healthy, and engaged. Safe & Social Environment My professionally trained dog is social and respectful. I do not accept dogs who are aggressive toward other dogs, people, or animals to ensure a safe and harmonious environment in the home. Flexible Pick-Up & Drop-Off Let’s make things easy. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you. 📌 Additional Info ✅ Comfortable with all dog sizes & breeds ✅ Experienced with rescue dogs & behavioral sensitivities ✅ Happy to care for cats and small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) ✅ Separate bedroom available for pets who need personal space Whether it’s for a few hours, a weekend, or longer—I’d love to give your pet the care, love, and attention they deserve. Don’t hesitate to reach out and tell me about your furry companion. I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶🐱🐰💛 Because I mostly work from home and my partner also has flexible work-from-home days, one of us is almost always around. Our daily routine is calm, balanced, and centered around a healthy lifestyle—perfect for pets who thrive in a peaceful, attentive environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet company, your pet will be a natural part of our day and receive all the care, love, and attention they need. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of how I care for animals. Whether your pet stays in my home or I come to yours, their well-being and emotional comfort always come first. At my place, pets join a peaceful and structured daily routine. Our lifestyle is calm, active, and pet-friendly—filled with walks, play, and relaxed downtime. Your pet will be welcomed as part of the family, with plenty of attention, affection, and quiet companionship. I only accept pets that are non-aggressive, ensuring a safe and respectful atmosphere for all. When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s routine and instructions carefully. I understand how important consistency is—especially for sensitive pets—so I stick to their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules, and use their preferred training cues and commands. I do my best to make everything feel as familiar and stress-free as possible, so your pet feels safe, seen, and supported in their own space. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Over: Hej! I'm Maura. I'm a longtime pet lover and part-time pet caretaker. I've recently relocated to Amsterdam Noord from the USA and looking to grow my care community. I'd be happy to lend a hand to local pet owners with daily walks, drop-ins, overnight care and of course lots of cuddles :) I'm a remote graphic designer which allows for me to work at home. I have full-time availability for pet caretaking which includes morning-evening, weekends and holiday care. I live solo in a studio with a fenced yard which allows for your pup/s to explore outside and for quick potty breaks. Your pup/s will have the space to themselves - I don't own other animals.

“Annelies heeft heel fijn en goed op onze Toby gepast. Ze had aandacht voor zijn specifieke ‘handleiding’ en hield ons op de hoogte van hoe het ging.”

Over: I’ve looked after dogs of all ages and sizes, and I always aim to make them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. I follow their routine, give them space to settle in, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and play—whatever they enjoy most. I’m currently taking a break from full-time work, which gives me lots of flexibility to focus on pet care. My girlfriend works mostly from home, so there’s always someone around to keep your dog company. We plan our days around the dogs we care for—walks, play, and plenty of attention throughout the day. We create a calm, dog-friendly space where pets can feel at ease. We keep things tidy and safe, with no access to anything they shouldn’t get into. Whether we’re sticking to their routine, giving them space to settle in, or just being there for company, your dog will be treated with patience and respect—like one of our own. We’re also happy to send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
