My mission

Discover the power of your dog!

Hi! My name is Simone and I work as a dog trainer, dog walker, and dog/cat sitter in Gouda.

Every dog has an activity they really enjoy or excel at. If you can use this to your advantage, you can prevent and even cure problem behavior. Power Paws offers various services to help owners and dogs with this. My mission is to help dog owners understand their dogs, so they can live a balanced and happy life!

Whether it's training, holiday care for your cat, or dog walking, I'm happy to help you and your pet with whatever you need. It's never too late to teach a dog (and its owner) new behaviors. My customized services are designed with you and your pet in mind to guarantee results. I believe it's just as important to work with you as I am with your pet!

Every breed is welcome

During my work as a volunteer at the shelter in Arnhem, I developed a great love for animals that are forgotten, seen as less, or are discriminated against because they look a certain way. Dogs such as Rottweilers, Staffords, and Pitbulls were often left behind in a kennel for months and sometimes years, despite their sweet nature. After my shift, I always took the time to give these sweethearts some extra attention, and they eventually became the driving force behind my dog ​​walking service.

That is why I go a step further than the regular walking service. In addition to the fact that walks can be booked quickly and easily online, I also accept the so-called " high-risk dogs " and dogs with behavioral problems. The dogs that are often not welcome at another walking service in advance. Every dog ​​is different and has its own character, so I do not discriminate on breed and believe in the individual!

  • Dog training

    It can be very frustrating if your dog doesn't listen, pulls on the leash, scratches the couch or shows other unwanted behavior. It's important to find out where this behavior comes from, so you can prevent it (and your bank stays intact!). I will support you in learning techniques and skills, and working with your pet to help achieve your own goals. This can all be done in the privacy of your own home!

  • Walking and babysitting service

    Everyone sometimes finds themselves unable to walk their dog, but you certainly don't want your four-legged friend home alone for too long! I'm happy to help with my dog walking service. You can book directly through my website, selecting a day and time slot for the walk. Before you do this, I always schedule an introductory meeting, so you can tell me everything I need to know about your beloved dog!

  • Dog and cat sitter

    We'd all love to take our dog or cat on vacation with us, but unfortunately, that's not always an option. And of course, you want to leave them in good hands! That's why I offer my dog and cat sitting service. Booking the sitting service is always done in consultation and isn't available directly through my website (unlike the dog walking service). We'll also schedule an introduction first, so you can show me around the house and tell me everything I need to know about caring for your dog or cat!
