Hey! I live in central Haarlem with my partner Carl and pup Lenny. Animals are my biggest passion and I've spent my whole life around dogs and horses. I'd love to get a second dog but in the meantime the second best thing is dogsitting :) I've been dog sitting for over a year after moving to the Netherlands and really love it. I work from home so the dogs are rarely left alone. As we live in an apartment, we do 2 short walkies (30 min) and one long walk per day. The long walk is up to 2 hours in one of the forests, in the dunes or the beach. On weekends I go to packwalks and your dog is welcome to join. I realize no normal person walks the dogs that much, but Lenny is a 3 year old border collie/golden retriever and needs a lot of physical and mental exercise.

I have experience dealing with reactivity issues and generally nervous dogs. I have spent over a year now working very hard with my own dog to deal with his behavioral problems and learnt a lot. He has improved tremendously but still has low tolerance of young males that are not neutered and don't respect his space, which is why I am not the right person if you have one! Before I agree to sit your dog I would like to set up a meet and greet, and ideally do one day's trial. IMPORTANT: I do not host male dogs that are not neutered OR females that are in heat. Sorry! Also - your dog must be able to handle stairs (1st/2nd floor).
