Lara

I am 36 years old science based force free dog trainer and moved to Netherlands from Turkey at the end of the May 2021. I had been my own business about dog training, boarding and daycare service for thirteen years. I met wonderful families and dogs and had beautiful memories. Now we are living here and I want to continue to help people with their pets. I can help people with pets around Almere and Lelystad.

When I was in Turkey, I fostered lots of dogs and a couple cats in years and I rescued and rehabilitated them and found their forever homes with a great pleasure.

I have a "nature and animal lover, a quiet, note-taking, careful, empathetic" personality. I am learning the language and having training classes with my dogs in "search and rescue" and "dog assisted interventions" ​​training fields. They are my passion. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats( a rescue dog and rescue cats, plus two border collies). I had my first dog at age 14 and grow up with her till my 30. She was a wonderful Golden Retriever mix called Onyx. She was like a sister to me then she became my best friend then she became my furry child and finally she became my master. It is impossible to write a description that describes me without mentioning her.

I am also looking a pet sitter for my dogs for our future travel plans and I know that it is really so hard to trust someone about our beloved furry kids. So I want to believe in "doing good and finding back good" theory and as I have done for years, now I aspire to take care of your children in the best way possible.

I am offering dog walking, pet sitting at your house and house visits for your pets.
I can take your dogs for a walk from 30 minutes or more. I don't use choke chain, prong, pinch, slip, electric etc collars on dogs. If you are using one of these on your dog I am not the right person for you. 

I can walk multiple dogs at the same time for sure but I feel the responsibility too much so I prefer to walk together only with small dogs and in this case I can give you a discount for extra dog. But if you have medium or large dogs I need to walk them one by one. Because there are people outside that walk their reactive dogs unleashed, and also there are cats who likes to attacked dogs and sometimes there are really dangerous foods on the ground etc because of these kind of things I want to be able to protect your doggy with my all strenght and attention. 

 I can also do home visits for 30 minutes or more. I can stay at your home for pet sitting but I need to leave at least two times in a day for walking with my own dogs or my clients dogs (in the morning and in the afternoon). For this reason, I can babysit dogs (house sitting) who can stay alone for a few hours at home.  

If I have to pay a fee for parking in your neighborhood, I request this as an extra. 

If your furry friend needs more or less we can always arrange it together. I will happily send you photos and videos of your furry baby and answer your questions all the time.

I've been there a lot and I've done this job as a professional for years from puppies to senior dogs, from social dogs to reactive dogs so I know that all animals are unique and different. We just need to respect their personalities and needs.

Hope to hear from you soon!
