Dog Sitting in Poelenburg, Zaandam

~ Het zilveren mandje ~ Met kennis van dieren-EHBO

[English version below] Wij (mijn man, een zoon uit 2008 en een dochter uit 2011 en ik) vangen graag uw hond(en) en katten op. Omdat we geen dieren van verschillende baasjes opvangen is uw hond of kat verzekerd van een behandeling op maat. We kunnen ons aanpassen zoals uw dier het thuis gewend is, zodat de overgang minder groot wordt. Verder is het goed om te weten dat ik honden uitsluitend aangelijnd uitlaat. Ik heb mijn hele leven lang katten gehad en we hebben ook ervaring met wat minder sociale 'boerderij' katten. Honden hebben we zelf nooit gehad. We hebben sinds 2018 al op meer dan 100 verschillende honden gepast: 1 groot feest :) Ik heb verschillende boeken gelezen over hondengedrag/lichaamstaal en hoe een hond gelukkig te maken. We hebben diverse hondenspeelgoed, knuffels, voer- en waterbakken in huis. Ik werk zelf parttime freelance vanuit huis en heb alle tijd om uw dier de aandacht te geven die hij of zij verdiend! In 2023 zijn we naar Saendelft (Assendelft) verhuisd, waar het heerlijk wandelen is met honden. De wijk wordt omzoomd door een dijk waar verder geen verkeer is en dus naar hartenlust gesnuffeld kan worden. Daar neem ik dan ook graag de tijd voor! ;) In 2026 heb ik de cursus EHBO voor huisdieren met goed gevolg afgrond. Hierdoor ben ik staat om: * Vermoedelijke botbreuken bij huisdieren te herkennen en hier correct op te reageren * Teken te voorkomen, verwijderen en de risico's in te schatten * Ogen veilig uit uitspoelen bij lichte oogirritaties * Kleine oorbeschadigingen te behandelen en een tijdelijk verband aan te brengen * Een tourniquet te gebruiken om ernstige bloedingen te stoppen * Een geïmproviseerde muilkorf voor een hond te maken * Een tijdelijk pootverband aan te leggen * Een klinisch onderzoek uit te voeren Let op: we passen niet op honden jonger dan 1 jaar, op zogenaamde hoog risico honden, wel ben ik bereid om deze honden uit te laten. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We (my husband, a son born in 2008, a daughter born in 2011, and I) are happy to look after your dog(s) and cat(s). Because we do not care for animals from different owners, your dog or cat is assured of personalized care. We can adapt to what your pet is used to at home, so that the transition is less abrupt. Furthermore, it is good to know that I only walk dogs on a leash. I have had cats my entire life, and we also have experience with less social 'farm' cats. We have never owned dogs ourselves. Since 2018, we have looked after over 100 different dogs: one big party :) I have read various books on dog behavior/body language and how to make a dog happy. We have various dog toys, plush toys, and food and water bowls in the house. I work part-time freelance from home and have all the time to give your animal the attention he or she deserves! In 2023, we moved to Saendelft (Assendelft), where it is wonderful to walk dogs. The neighborhood is bordered by a dike with no traffic, so dogs can sniff around to their heart's content. I am happy to take the time for that! ;) In 2026, I successfully completed the First Aid course for pets. This enables me to: * Recognize suspected bone fractures in pets and respond correctly * Prevent and remove ticks and assess the risks * Safely rinse eyes in case of minor eye irritation * Treat minor ear injuries and apply a temporary bandage * Use a tourniquet to stop severe bleeding * Make an improvised muzzle for a dog * Apply a temporary paw bandage * Perform a clinical examination Please note: we do not sit dogs younger than 1 year old, or so-called high-risk dogs; however, I am willing to walk these dogs.

Nanuq heeft heerlijk ontspannen bij Lindsey. Ik kreeg een vrolijke hond terug. Lindsey heeft me goed op de hoogte gehouden tijdens Nanuq's verblijf bij haar, echt een aanrader deze oppas!

Ervaren honden liefhebbers, wandelingen, flexibel

Wij zijn Jip (28) en Cleo (26), we zijn allebei al sinds jonge leeftijd opgegroeid met honden. Hierdoor hebben we jarenlang ervaring met het uitlaten van honden, voldoende aandacht geven. Lange wandelingen vinden wij heerlijk en we zorgen ervoor dat elke hond die bij ons is voldoende beweging krijgt. Onze beschikbaarheid is flexibel, waardoor we in staat zijn om op korte termijn in te springen en ook in overleg voor langere periodes op uw huisdieren te passen. We passen het liefst op kleine tot middelgrote honden, van rustige lieve honden tot wat meer energieke rassen die beweging en aandacht nodig hebben. Onze liefde voor honden, en woonachtig aan het Eraamuspark maken ons de ideale keuze voor je viervoeter. Jouw hond zal zich geliefd en goed verzorgd voelen bij ons, zodat je met een gerust hart je dagelijkse bezigheden of vakanties kan voortzetten. Stuur ons vooral een berichtje!

Willem de Weimaraner gaat geregeld naar Cleo & Jip en hij gaat altijd met kwispelend staartje! Lekker op pad naar het Erasmuspark of lekker knuffelen in huis. Ik zou Cleo & Jip van harte aanbevelen. Mijn hond laat ik met gerust hart achter.

Loving and experienced dog sitter from China

Hello dog lovers , I'm Jingyi (Matilda) from China. Note: ❣️ I am working in the office from Monday to Thursday per week at the moment. And working from home on Fridays. So I can only take full care of dogs on Fridays and weekends, or if you don’t mind the dogs stay at home during day time 9am to 6pm, I am more than willing to petsit them as well. For sure I will walk them before I leave the house and right after I come back from work. FYI - I live with a roommate - she’s also from China and she’s doing pet sitting too. Looking forward to hearing from you! Best, Matilda

Jingyi took really good care of our whippet pup Kira. Kira seemed to feel at home rather quickly and Jingyi asked many questions when we dropped by to make sure that Kira would have the best possible stay. Communication also was quick and clear. Would definitely bring Kira here again sometime. Thank you :)

Warm Home & Long Walks for Your Dog

Hi! I’m based in a spacious 84 sqm apartment and offer a calm, safe, and comfortable home for your dog. I’m surrounded by several green spaces and dog-friendly parks, and I genuinely enjoy long walks—so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time and attention. I’m happy to help with walks and visits, but I especially enjoy hosting dogs at my home for a few hours or overnight so they can feel settled and cared for. I’m originally from India, where I’ve spent over six years caring for community dogs and currently support around 11 of them with regular feeding and care. I’ve also fostered and cared for pets in home environments, and I’m happy to share references from families I’ve worked with. I’ve grown up with pets as well, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I truly miss having dogs around in my daily life, which is why I care deeply about giving them a warm, attentive environment. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at ease. I’m open to most friendly and well-adjusted dogs and will always follow your routines and instructions closely.

Amrita has took great care of our dog! She is a really nice and kind person with a genuine interest for the dogs. Karmen,our dog, immediately liked her and she was really enjoying her time with Amrita. I appreciated the communication style of Amrita, who was sharing with me everyday multiple videos and photos of Karmen, this was really helpful as this has been the first time we leave our dog to a petsitter. Lastly, Karmen is an elderly dog with medical needs and specific dietary and Amrita cooperated outstanding. I would definitely recommend her services if you want your dog to be happy and safe!

Liefdevolle en huiselijke oppassers voor honden

Samen met mijn vriend zorg ik met veel liefde en aandacht voor honden. Hij heeft als kind zelf honden gehad en we passen regelmatig op honden van vrienden, waardoor we gewend zijn aan verschillende rassen en karakters. We wonen in een appartement vlakbij een park, met voldoende tijd en gelegenheid om dagelijks meerdere wandelingen te maken. Omdat we deels thuis werken, is er veel persoonlijke aandacht en zijn honden zelden alleen. We vinden het belangrijk dat elke hond zich veilig en thuis voelt. Zelf zouden we graag later een hond nemen, maar het past nu nog niet helemaal in ons leven. Via deze weg hopen we toch van het gezelschap van honden te kunnen genieten en ze een liefdevolle opvang te bieden.

With love

I must admit, I was always a self-proclaimed “cat person” until I met two amazing pups named Woody and Charlie. That experience changed my perspective, and now I wholeheartedly adore both dogs and cats alike! As a vegan, I extend my love and care to all animals. Rest assured that I’ll treat your pets with the utmost respect, kindness, and understanding. Whether it’s bounding and playing, offering cuddles and affection, ensuring they’re well-fed, or taking them on enjoyable walks, I’ll provide a comfortable and stimulating environment for your furry friends. You can count on me to maintain their routines, administer any required medications, and provide regular updates on their well-being. Don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule a meet-and-greet, where you can witness my genuine love for animals firsthand. Together, we can ensure your pets receive the love, care, and attention they deserve while you’re away.

Ontzettend lieve oppas

Attentive care & walks while working from home

I’m a passionate animal lover ☀️ Having grown up with both dogs and cats, understanding their body language, routines, and unique personalities comes naturally to me. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, understood, and comfortable when away from their owners.💕 I work from home most of the time, which means your furry friend will enjoy constant companionship throughout the day. They will never feel lonely there’s always someone around to give them affection, keep an eye on them, or share a cozy quiet moment while I work. My flexible schedule allows me to offer regular, engaging walks tailored to your pet's energy level. Whether they need an energetic stroll to burn off steam or a calm, relaxed walk with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to match their usual routine. I will treat your pet like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have complete peace of mind!

Nina had such an amazing time with Alessia! I could tell right away that she was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Alessia was so kind and caring with her, and I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nina was in good hands. I would definitely trust Alessia with Nina again and highly recommend her!

I will be the Pawfect Pal for your dog!

Hello, my name is Jess/Cong I had a cute poodle for 10 years growing up. Covid lockdowns brought an unexpected joy into my life as I became temporary dog caretakers for two years. The experiences were incredible, and I'm ready to do it again after a year of travelling! My apartment is very spacious (180sqm), it's good for dogs of all sizes. We have a well fenced roof terrace to play balls with the dog. I like to take dogs to parks during my work break. there has been a few times when doggos refuse to leave with the owner :p Working from home allows me to provide multiple daily walks (depends on the needs of your own dog), including visits to parks. Your pup will have loads of fun!. I'm a loving and caring person by nature, and I'll treat your dog with 100% kindness and attention. Photos are dogs that we took care in the past years. I will do a unique drawing for your dog as well when I have time! You are welcome to come for a visit and I'm happy to answer your questions! Ik spreek ook een beetje Nederlands!

My dog Boba loves Cong so much that every time we go to her Boba would literally drag me to the door like it's her own house. She always sends me cute video updates and this time even a professional drawing! She is warm, reliable and genuinely caring. Highly recommended!

we would love to walk your dog when you are away

We have years of dog-sitting experience. We also fostered a rescue dog ourselves. We will take care of your dogs as our own. Giving them the care, play and chill time they need. We both work hybrid, so most of the times there will be one of us at home. Due to circumstances we cannot own our dog ourselves. Therefore we would like to dog-sit instead. We would like to watch your dog when you can't. We prefer small/medium sized and easier dogs. ------ We hebben jarenlange ervaring met het oppassen op honden. We zijn zelf ook gastgezin geweest voor en opvanghondje. We zullen voor uw honden zorgen alsof het onze eigen honden zijn, door ze de zorg, speeltijd en rust te geven die ze nodig hebben. Aangezien we beiden deels thuiswerken, is er meestal iemand van ons thuis. Door omstandigheden kunnen we zelf op dit moment niet een eigen hond nemen. Daarom zouden we in plaats daarvan graag op uw hond willen passen. We passen graag op uw hond zorgen wanneer u dat niet kunt. Onze voorkeur gaat uit naar kleine tot middelgrote en wat makkelijkere honden.

Philip was a great oppas for Sylvie, our 3 year old French buldog. We can highly recommend him!

Doggy daycareHouse sitting

Pet Island is open!

Hoi! We are Nick and Lili. We speak Dutch, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese in both human and dog language ;) We live on a peaceful island on the border of Zaandam, in a special place close to the Zaanse Schans and the Natural Reserve Area of Kalverpolder, near Amsterdam. Although we don’t have our own dogs, we love animals, and are lucky to have a fun "fauna" here already: from a turtle that visits from time to time to all kinds of waterfowl. Our 'dogiculum': Nick was brought up in France and Spain, raised with a lot of Irish Setters. Lili, growing up in Brazil made her very familiar with all types of street and rescue dogs. After more than 3 years as dog sitters, we have the experience of over 100 happy clients. It has been an educational journey for us learning about dogs, their various quirks and and getting to know so many different dogs and becoming a part of their lives. We now believe dogs have a unique experience here, as they can exist in near total freedom, in a pack, playing, foraging, chilling or even sleeping together, and with our near constant near-presence. That's how we reached progressively this “spa-like” bubble environment, where dogs can socialize and/or relax at their will. If we have only one guest, they stay with us in the main house of course. Some extra info: . Our island has 3 main buildings, one of them is the guesthouse transformed into a doggyhouse. It’s surrounded by a big 'foresty garden’ and the super clean air. They have a fenced and safe area at their disposition for playing and lounging outside. . As we both work from home, we have lots of time and love for our guests, and so they are usually supervised 24/7. . Walks are included as they have access to the garden whenever we go walking throughout the island's interwoven paths. . We do not take dogs that are either too anxious, protective or aggressive (ie. German Shepherds, Stafforshire-types, Pitbulls, etc). Hope to see you soon at our Pet-Island :) Nick & Lili.

Hugo heeft het erg naar zijn zin gehad.

Enthusiastic 35 year old petsitter from Amsterdam

I am Sam and I petsit! I have had cats throughout my childhood, and I petsit regularly since 2023. I am Dutch and I live next to station Lelylaan. Petsitting has adventure, you get to see different cities and neighborhoods, but more importantly I really love to take care of both cats and dogs. Whether they need more space, they are shy, or wild and curious, I really do love them all. It's the diversity in types of animals, and knowing how to bond with them, is what I like about it. I work full-time as a Senior Recruiter at Dexter Energy, a tech company that facilitates the renewable energy transition. I am a very enthusiastic person that loves podcasts, movies, music and cycling. Amsterdam-based, 35 years old, open to other cities in NL.

Sam took great care of our dog, and sent numerous updates and photos/videos. Our dog seemed to love him and I could tell they were getting on well :-) thanks Sam!

I can take care of all our animal friends with lov

Hi dear friends, My name is Görkem. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had animals in my life. I truly love them, and spending time with them brings me so much joy — they add real meaning to my life. Over the years, I’ve had many pets, including cats, birds, and fish. I’ve also taken care of many friends’ dogs. I spent a long time volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked lots of dogs of different breeds. I even followed a course at an animal hospital to learn more about working with dogs. I don’t have official first-aid training for animals, but I do have hands-on experience. A friend of mine had a diabetic cat that needed daily injections. While he was on holiday, I took care of his cat and gave the injections myself. So I’m comfortable and experienced with giving shots. Can’t wait to spend more time with lovely animals and share great moments together. See you soon. Warm regards.

Perfect! Hele fijne communicatie. Ravi vindt het heel fijn bij Görkem!

Flexibel en dierenliefhebber

Sinds jongs af aan heb ik veel honden in huis gehad. Het waren voornamelijk honden die gered werden van de armoedige straten in Egypte. Ik heb daarom een grote liefde ontwikkeld voor dieren en voornamelijk honden. Ik ben over het algemeen elke dag beschikbaar en ben als persoon erg flexibel als het gaat om tijd. Wandelen doe ik graag, dus een hond aan mijn zijde hebben voor een paar uurtjes is alleen maar top. Voor de rest ben ik een persoon die zich goed houdt aan schema's en zeer attentief is als het gaat om bijzonderheden die in achting moeten worden genomen.

Rasha is heel lief met honden en mijn Honny heeft zich erg op haar gemak gevoeld in haar gezin. Tussendoor stuurde Rasha foto’s van Honny en dat was heel fijn.

Your dog will feel loved with us

Hi! We are Pedro and Gisela, a couple from Portugal living in Amsterdam for more than 10 years. We love animals, and we have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. Both of us work from home most of the time, so your furry will never be left alone. This is also an opportunity for us to have dogs at home. We used this service before until our 3rd family member passed away. We always wanted to leave her with someone that would make her feel love and peace. That's how we will treat your furry. We leave in a neighborhood that is quiet and full of green spaces. Dogs love it! And we have a small backyard to compliment when the weather is nice.

Rex loved his time at Pedro and Gi. They took super good care of him, let him run off leash and gave him lots of cuddles and attention. We also received daily photos and videos while we were away and it was very cute. They’re really the best!

Tons of love for fur friends!

Hi! Im Dora and would like to take care of your fur friends. I never had my own furry friend back home because I didn't have the basic conditions for the care and beautiful life of a pet. But that's why I volunteered a lot, took care of friends' pets and temporarily adopted pets until we found them a forever home. I have experience with different breeds,which resulted in a better understanding and having more patience, giving each of them the special treatment they require.Be sure that your pet will receive lots of love, attention and necessary care. I look forward to cooperation! Your dog&cat lady 🤎

Dora is simply amazing!! Jackson absolutely loves her and her partner. They took amazing care of him and were so kind to share updates and photographs! Jackson cannot wait to stay with them again. Highly recommend !
