Kattenoppas in Zaanstad

Over: LEES ALLE INFO GOED DOOR VOOR U EEN AANVRAAG INSTUURT. wij hebben meer dan 2 jaar honden opgevangen bij ons en ik fiets dagelijks door zaandam heen om honden uit te laten. ik heb een klein groepje die ik regelmatig uitlaat. ik ga dan naar hem of haar toe, en dan gaan we samen een heerlijke wandeling maken, de één laat ik eens per week uit, en andere meerdere keren per week. dit veranderd wekelijks . ik heb hier erg veel plezier in, en voor de hond en eigenaar die meestal aan het werk is of weg is, is het ook fijn. ik ga ook regelmatig bij de hond thuis een paar uurtjes oppassen. meestal als er meerdere honden zijn, kan dit een betere oplossing zijn. uw hond is bij ons zeer welkom. voor 1 dag, of meerdere dagen. het is belangrijk dat uw hond overdag een uurtje alleen kan zijn bij ons thuis. als uw hond meerdere dagen bij ons komt, doen wij ALTIJD eerst een proef dag, dit vinden wij erg belangrijk. wij vinden het belangrijk om eerst te zien of wij een match zijn. dit is bijna altijd wel het geval gelukkig.. .ik update mijn rover-agenda zodra er een bevestigde boeking is. om de aanvraag goed te laten verlopen, check dan eerst of de periode van de opvang beschikbaar is, als je dan de aanvraag doet, kies dan een beschikbare dag uit voor een proefdag. vermeld hierbij een korte beschrijving van uw beste vriend en de periode dat hij of zij bij ons gaat komen. deze hobby doe ik nu ruim 2,5 jaar, en een paar jaar geleden heb ik als diensthonden verzorger bij de regio politie Amsterdam gewerkt . dit zijn een heel andere type honden, maar ik heb ze altijd als "hond" behandeld en niet als diensthond. ik heb dus de nodige ervaring met het verzorgen van honden. LETOP: DE EERTE BOEKING GAAT ALTIJD VIA ROVER! ik rij met de e-bike naar de hond of honden toe en maak dan een goeie wandeling. ik ben meestal een uurtje of meer onderweg. ik doe na afloop de deur op slot . ik doe altijd een meet en greet van te voren. ik vind dit erg belangrijk. dit doen wij zowel als de hond bij ons komt of ik naar hem of haar toe ga. tijdens het wandellen zijn er nooit andere honden mee, tenzij de eigenaar meerdere honden heeft.. ik laat ze ook niet los lopen, ze blijven altijd aangelijnd. mocht er een uitlaat veldje zijn in de buurt met een hek eromheen dan mogen ze los, maar de eigenaar moet hier toestemming voor geven.

“Kirsten heeft ons een goed gevoel gegeven bij het verzorgen van onze poezen. Ze heeft goed gecommuniceerd en heeft duidelijk laten weten hoe het ging. Elke dag kregen we netjes een update en foto's. Heel erg bedankt nog!”

Over: I can walk with your little dog with pleasure and energy. Provade gentle care and attention, create play and feeding. Ensure safe and friendly environment. Hi! My name is Anna I live in Nederland with my husband and little san. Originally I from Russia. I really miss the company of cats and the soft cat back. I have some time during the day to look after and clean up after the cats. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are gone. I can feed, give injections, clean, pet and play, walking if needed.

“Helin watched my cats for a week and did an excellent job! I really appreciated that she took time to play with them and send me pictures every day.”

“Illona took great care of my cat. She was very patient and kept me updated regularly, which I really appreciated. I had an emergency and asked if she could watch my cat for an extra day — she kindly agreed without hesitation. Very reliable and caring. Highly recommended!”

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.

Over: Hi there. I love dogs, and while I was in Lisbon me and my family had 2 dogs. The 1st was adopted with a few weeks old and lived an happy life until 11 years, and the 2nd dog we rescued him from the street and stayed with us for more or less 6 years (doctors believe that he was around 18 years old when he died). I love to walk with dogs, and around my house there are a lot of parks and nice trails to do it. If you are going on holidays or any other reason that doesn’t allow you to bring your dog with you, I’m more than available to dog sit him or her :) I’ve been hosting dogs with DogBuddy for a few times and it has been a quite nice experience! I work from home for the last 6 years, so I have plenty of time to onboard at any time of the day and also to answer the dog needs at any time. I have a fenced yard and around where I live there are plenty of routes to do for nice walks. Also, I have experience on cage dogs (if required). I already sited dogs between 6 months and 17 years of age.

Over: I’ve loved animals since I was young, I have always been really good with them and they always seem to have good vibes with me, I’ve never had an experience where an animal doesn’t like me. I’ve had turtles, parrots, bunnies and dogs. Now I have two dachshunds (5 and 3) and I’ve truly grown fond of training our pets. It not only makes our lives easier, but also stimulates and challenges them to grow. I’ve taught them since they were 3 months old and seen them evolve from “sit” all the way to the ”play dead”, it’s something really exiting. I’m currently working part time virtually so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog and take them on long walks and keep them company when you’re not around. I can do everyday after lunch and if I don’t have any meetings, I can also do mornings, it truly depends on the day. However I can keep you posted on my calendar. I think the first thing to keep in mind is that I am a new stranger coming into their space. This is why I like to meet them first in a neutral environment, make them feel safe around me and then move on to the home care. I appreciate when dogs have a set routine that I can follow, this keeps them calm and feeling safe.

Over: I have been in love with dogs since I was 12 but I could never have mine so I love to take care of lovely dogs. I trust them more than humans. I will be quite flexible in the summer. Mainly not available on weekends and won't be in Amsterdam from the middle of a guest till the 5th of September I can not host the dog in my place but I am open to taking care of them in their places one of my best I is a vet so I always try to update myself in conversation with him.

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Laura to look after my beloved cats, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Laura is a true animal lover. Throughout the entire pet-sitting period, Laura provided exceptional care and attention to my cats' every need. She followed all the instructions meticulously and went above and beyond to ensure my cats were comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Not only were my cats well-fed and groomed, but she also enjoyed plenty of cuddle time. Laura took the time to understand my cats' personality and preferences, and it showed in the way they interacted with her. I highly recommend Laura to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional cat/dog-sitter. Her dedication and love for animals are truly exceptional, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you Laura!”

Over: I’ve been a cat mom for 8 years, so I know how to care for pets with love, patience, and attention to detail. I also regularly took care of my sister’s two dogs — a playful French Bulldog and an energetic Cocker Spaniel — about three times a week while she was at work. We’d go on long walks to burn off their energy, play together, and make sure they were happy, fed, and comfy at home. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work fully remotely, which gives me a super flexible schedule. I can easily work from home or even from the pet owner’s home if needed. Since I’m in control of my own time, I can take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles. In the afternoons, I usually go on long walks or work out, so it’s easy for me to fit in extra outdoor time for your pup too. My schedule is very open, and I always make sure your pet’s needs come first! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible — feeding times, walks, play, and rest — and I’m super attentive to their needs and moods. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. In the owner’s home, I respect the space and follow any specific instructions. At my place, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly, so they feel right at home!

“Susanna is a fantastic sitter! ? We went on vacation for a week and we knew our two cats were in great hands and well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Susanna again if we need a sitter in the future!”

Zuza G.

Over: I grew up in La Pampa, Argentina with a childhood filled with dogs and cats, and my own beloved 6-year-old fox terrier, I have practiced my skills as an exceptional pet sitter since very young age. From playful games with the Kong to leisurely walks together, cuddles are always more than welcome. I understand the importance of providing love, attention, and exercise to furry companions. Trust me to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for your beloved pets while you're away. I work mostly from home so for me is easy to find time for them. Some days are an exception and I work on location so please pre-consult with me the days you have in mind. I am always alert to any circumstance that could put them in danger and I try to play with them as much as I can. I live in a studio that’s why I cant have medium/big dogs boarding.

“Super consigliata”

Edoardo B.

Over: I’ve been lucky to care for two playful, energetic dogs and a loving cat back home, who were like family to me. I adored spending time with them, whether it was going on walks, playing games, or just cuddling. Being far from them now, I miss their joy and companionship every day. That’s why I’m so passionate about pet sitting—it gives me the chance to connect with and care for amazing pets again. With my experience and love for animals, I’ll ensure your furry friends are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I'm currently studying BBA in Amsterdam and working part-time. Therefore I would like to spend my free time as a lovely pet sitter anywhere close to my place in beverwijk and in Amsterdam if I'm close by. My neighborhood is very calm and peaceful with several areas for walking and playdates with a sweet pet. It's spacious and we exciting to go around the neighborhood in a lovely day...

“Elena is the sweetest and kindest. She took such a good care of our adult female cat. Great communication and partnership, loving and caring home. Thank you Elena !”

Stavroula V.

Over: I’ve always had a passion for cross-training animals, especially dogs and cats. Whether they’re young or old, I find that I can build strong bonds with them. My approach focuses on understanding their unique personalities and needs, which helps foster trust and connection. I love finding creative ways to engage them through play and training, ensuring they feel enriched and comfortable. My experience has shown me that with patience and love, any cat can become a cherished companion. Animals require fixed punctuality and times - not as leisure as us. Routines to potty breaks and feeding times are important followed by love and general care. I tend to be vigilant like I would for a child. Keeping on top of dietary needs and being sure to “puppy-proof” in a proactive and regulated way is critical. Especially with older animals being sometimes more sensitive or requiring more awareness - I try to communicate in such a way that our fur babies communicate comfortably with me what it is they need always.

“Super friendly and trustworthy”

Marina D.

Over: I have many years of experience house-sitting for friends and family, primarily caring for dogs, cats, and birds. In addition, I’ve looked after my own cats, fish, rabbits, and plants. As I am studying part-time remotely, my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets. This flexibility enables me to adapt to their routine and provide consistent, high-quality care to ensure their well-being. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I respect their environment by following their routines and instructions carefully. I make sure to keep the home clean and safe, ensuring the pets feel secure in familiar surroundings. Open communication with pet owners is key to maintaining trust and ensuring their pets receive the best care.

Over: Patience is one of my qualities and you can be sure that your pet will be in good hands. It will also be a great experience for me to get to know the city better and take care of your pet with a lot of love. I am also very committed, organized and proactive! I am very flexible about dates, locations and any last minute services. I am currently accepting to take care of your pets in your home. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Information about the service I offer:
 Walk with the dog (about 30 minutes to 1 hour walk). About 4/5 times a day
Keeping the same dog routine.
 Playing with the dog or cat. 
Feeding your pet.
Cleaning the litter box.
If necessary, administer the medication. 
At most 2 dogs at a time, so I can devote more quality time to them.
