Dagopvang Zoeterwoude

Over: I have always been loving and patient towards cats and dogs. I have my own cat - Pera who is sadly in Türkiye so I thought in the mean time I’ll spend some time with new friends. I’ll provide them with a fun time and some snacks (for food I’d like you to provide it so that there are no complications!) I am available for every service in Leiden + @ Den Haag Moerwijk I can take your dogs on a walk or take care of your little friends @ your place. I am currenty doing a remote internship and I’m looking for a job do basically… I am unemployed and home all day :’) That is why I can spend the whole day with your furry friends! I already live in a safe environment (near Leiden Lammenschans) here we have lots of greenery where me and your pet pal take a safe walk outside, get some fresh air. My house is basically empty because I’m gonna move soon, so there is nothing to worry about haha. It is pretty safe and clean.

Over: Hi everyone!
 My name is Divya, but you can call me Div :) Im from Spain and im ethnically Indian. I am 22 years old and I am doing my masters in clinical psychology at Leiden University.
 I’ve always taken care of caring for pets, whether it was friends' pets growing up or now spoiling my boyfriend’s cats! I treat every pet like my own babies, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away!
 I love both cats and dogs equally! And very open to love any other kinds of pets :) I live in a pet-friendly apartment on the first floor with a small fenced terrace (stairs only!), and my roommate is also a huge cat lover. 
If you have any questions or specific requests, feel free to text me! I’d love to care for your furry family member while you are away!☺️♥️ 
‼️Please keep my pet preferences in mind, as I can't take care of large dogs, and I do not speak Dutch‼️ I am currently studying full term, and only have 2 classes a week. Besides this I spend my time at home playing videogames or working on my thesis. I also hang out with friends, but when im taking care of a fur baby, I make sure that their needs are met first or even inviting my friends over to my place for them to get double the care and love☺️ I have taken care of both dogs and cats before, and I make sure to spend time around them and see what they feel comfortable with! With dogs, I would prefer to walk them in more quiet places or their usual trail to make them feel comfortable! And when taking care of pets at home, I make sure windows are always closed and never leave out any food or dangerous items!

“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!”

Over: I grew up with dogs at home, so I understand them very well. For the past few years, I have been pet sitting for different people and in different parts of the world. I love going for walks and giving pets the attention they need. Your dog will be in safe and happy hands with me! The area I live is surrounded with nature :) I speak English and Dutch. I work remotely as a freelancer and manage my own hours. This makes me very flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs both inside and outside the house. Since I do not have any pets of my own, your dog will receive my full attention and have the entire space to themselves. I am very careful with safety and will always make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure in my home.

“We had a fantastic experience with Manuela. Not only was she extremely accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, but she also did a great job keeping us in the loop. We loved getting photos and a video showing how much fun our dogs were having. It made being away from our dogs so much easier. Highly recommend!”

“Liza is very kind. Frans enjoyed his stay with Liza very much. Liza send funny photos and updates of Frans during his stay. I would surely recomment Liza!”

Over: Hoi, (Ter info: mijn tarief voor opvang met overnachting is altijd 25 euro. Rover.com past dit aan naar 30 als je in het hoofdseizoen boekt, maar dat lossen we samen wel op!) Mijn ervaring: Ik ben opgegroeid met kleine (asiel)hondjes thuis en in 2011 heb ik voor het eerst een maand vrijwilligerswerk gedaan in Spanje bij een hondenasiel. In de jaren daaropvolgend heb ik in verschillende buitenlandse asielen vrijwilligerswerk gedaan (zie foto's). Daar heb ik toen ook mijn eerste hondje geadopteerd toen ze 10 jaar oud was. Ik heb in 2019 een opleiding gedaan over hondengedrag en heb natuurlijk van mijn eigen hondjes ook veel geleerd. Mijn tweede hondje heb ik in 2020 geadopteerd, ook op latere leeftijd. Eind 2024 is zij overleden en sindsdien heb ik besloten om hondenoppas te worden, want ik miste het gezelschap wel! Ik heb dus veel ervaring met (oude) hondjes en heb zelfs nog een hondenbuggy hier thuis staan voor als jouw hondje wel mee wil op lange wandelingen, maar dat niet meer goed kan. Daarnaast werk ik ook als vrijwilliger elke vrijdag bij een hondendagopvang waar de honden in een groep samen zijn, waardoor ik nog meer leer over hondengedrag. Momenteel studeer ik thuis (Besluit Houders van Dieren; honden en katten) en werk ik een dag in de week als kinderoppas (10 en 12 jaar oud). Daar is de hond altijd welkom. Wat belangrijk is om te weten: Ik woon alleen en als de hond voor vakantieopvang naar mij toekomt, moet de hond wel even zonder stress alleen thuis kunnen zijn. Ik wil namelijk wel boodschappen kunnen doen of naar mijn dansles kunnen gaan zonder dat de hond dan thuis in paniek raakt. Honden zijn bij mij welkom in het hele huis, ook op de bank (samen een filmpje kijken is wel zo gezellig!). Ze mogen alleen niet op mijn bed komen, maar als je hondje blijft slapen dan staat er altijd een fijn hondenbed naast mijn bed (of zijn/haar eigen bed). Honden zijn natuurlijk groepsdieren en daar houd ik graag rekening mee. Ik ben het gewend dat ik ze overal mee naartoe neem in de auto en zo min mogelijk alleen laat. Ik vind het juist leuk als de hond overal mee naartoe kan.

Over: Hoi! Mijn naam is Bora, en samen met mijn vriendin woon ik in een rustig appartement in een groene buurt met veel parken en hondenspeelplekken in de directe omgeving. Omdat we allebei volledig vanuit huis werken, hebben we alle tijd en aandacht om goed voor jouw hond te zorgen. We hebben geen eigen huisdieren op dit moment, maar we hebben vroeger jarenlang honden gehad (Stafford en Herder) en missen die gezelligheid enorm. Daarom vinden we het heel leuk om af en toe voor een hond te mogen zorgen alsof het die van ons is. We hebben ervaring met allerlei soorten honden – klein tot middelgroot – en zorgen met veel liefde en aandacht voor hun dagelijkse behoeften: wandelen, spelen, gezelschap en knuffels. Grote of heel harige honden nemen we liever niet aan, om praktische redenen van ons appartement. We zijn redelijk flexibel met ophalen en brengen, en vinden het belangrijk dat zowel hond als baasje zich prettig voelt bij de kennismaking. Tijdens het verblijf houden we je graag op de hoogte met foto’s en updates. Lijkt het je wat? Neem gerust contact op voor een vrijblijvende kennismaking! Doordat we allebei volledig vanuit huis werken, vormt de verzorging van een huisdier geen extra taak, maar een natuurlijk onderdeel van onze dag. Er is vrijwel doorlopend iemand aanwezig in huis. Mocht een van ons een boodschap doen of de deur uit gaan, dan is de ander er gewoon. Dit betekent dat een kat of hond bij ons nooit uren alleen hoeft te zitten doordeweeks. We hebben alle flexibiliteit om vaste eet- en speeltijden stipt aan te houden, rustmomenten te bewaken en gedurende de dag alle aandacht en liefde te geven die het dier gewend is. Bij ons thuis: Onze woning ligt in een hele rustige, groene omgeving met volop parken vlak voor de deur. Omdat we zelf op dit moment geen huisdieren hebben, is ons appartement een veilige, overzichtelijke en stressvrije haven. Een huisdier heeft bij ons het rijk alleen en krijgt onze onverdeelde aandacht. We zorgen voor een schone, opgeruimde omgeving waar geen gevaarlijke spullen rondslingeren. Bij het baasje thuis (huisbezoek / oppas): We behandelen de woning en het huisdier van een ander met het hoogste respect. We volgen jouw instructies rondom voeding, verzorging en veiligheid (zoals deuren en ramen gesloten houden) exact op. Vertrouwen & Communicatie: Bij beide opties geldt: veiligheid en rust staan voorop. We bouwen het contact altijd rustig op in het tempo van het dier. Daarnaast sturen we dagelijks foto-updates en korte berichtjes, zodat je vanaf je vakantie- of werkadres precies ziet hoe goed en vertrouwd je huisdier in zijn vel zit.

“Amazing! Our puppy loved staying with Makiko and her husband. The communication was great and they followed our instructions to a T. Definitely recommend!”

Over: I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve been looking after pets for over 15 years, including my own dog as well as dogs and cats belonging to friends, family, and clients. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior animals requiring extra patience and attention. Having lived in both Canada and the UK, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and routines. I’ve recently relocated from London and am excited to continue offering reliable, attentive, and loving pet care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always aim to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Available to: - Comfortable administering medication - Experience with reactive or anxious dogs - Familiar with long walks, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement - Available for overnight stays, walks, or drop-in visits - Happy to send regular photo/video updates I’m not currently working, so I’ll have plenty of time with your dogs/cats! I’m have open availability for boarding, happy to pickup if need be as well. I have a fenced garden and one small dog of my own to help keep them company. I’m happy to have them sleep on the bed, but can also crate them if that’s what they are used to.

“Yuree was amazing. She took excellent care of our little Alfie. Alfie will definitely be visiting him again.”

Over: Hi! I'm Giulia originally from Italy and living in Leiden. I adore looking after dogs and cats so I'm available to help:) I can work from home if necessary so my schedule is flexible.

Feel free to ask questions! The house is shared with two people

Over: Hi! We’re a couple with a lifelong love for dogs. We grew up surrounded by many different kinds of dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of our life. Over the years, we’ve gained strong hands-on experience understanding dog behaviour, reading body language, and making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy in our care. We’re confident handling different personalities, from playful and energetic dogs to more calm and shy ones, and we always adapt to what each dog needs. We know every dog is unique, so we take time to understand their routine, energy level, habits, and personality before and during their stay or walk. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them company and reassurance, we always make sure they feel relaxed and cared for as if they were our own. We also have a large garden with plenty of secure outdoor space for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy fresh air safely. There’s lots of room for exercise and fun, whether it’s running around, playing games, or just relaxing outside. Indoors, we have a spacious, comfortable, and clean environment where dogs can rest, sleep, and feel completely at home. Everything is kept safe and well maintained so your dog can feel calm and secure at all times. We also have access to water areas for dogs who enjoy swimming or cooling off, always supervised for safety. Before every booking, we’d love to learn about your dog’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so we can provide the best possible care. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to us. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend, create lots of happy memories together, and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for every step of the way! me and my partner work from home so we have plenty of time to keep the dogs company and give them attention,play, and love. We share our home with our friendly male Labrador, who enjoys the company of other dogs. We understand that every dog is different, so introductions are always done slowly and at your dog’s pace. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a little extra time to settle in, we have plenty of room to keep dogs comfortably separated while they adjust. As we both work from home, we’re able to give each dog individual attention, supervision, and care throughout the day, ensuring their routine and comfort always come first. i have a big fenced yard for dogs to run and play or relax, and a safe cozy inside with plenty of space for them, we have loads of toys beds and crates if needed

“As new dog-owners, we were quite nervous for his first time away from us, but these patient and experienced dog-sitters did an amazing job. Frequent updates and pictures were provided and we are sure our pup had a great time there! Highly recommended!”

Over: Drawing from my extensive pet sitting experience, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals, including Pomeranians, cats and Retriver dogs. These delightful furry companions have taught me valuable lessons about patience, adaptability, and the unique needs of different breeds. I like spending time with dogs and can certainly take care of your pet with love. As my family is on holiday in home country presently, I have more time and space on this hobby so feel free to contact me if you want to catch up. Your fur baby will receive personalized attention, walks, and belly rubs. I have flexible work timings and some free week days so I can definitely fit in daily or weekly routine of your pet as needed. We don't have garden but dog park is next to our apartment so we can guarantee safe environment for your pet and also ensure big hall in our apartment for playing

“Rustige man en mijn hond Kees was gelijk op haar gemak. Bij thuiskomst niks aan haar gemerkt dat ze bij iemand anders was geweest. Fijne ervaring voor Kees en mij.”
