Hi, I'm a Norwegian freelancer (ik spreek ook Nederlands!) living between Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark. I have a regular daycare pup but still have some capacity for one-off or now and then daycare, on weekends too. If you live close by (within 10 mins walk) I can pick up your dog for walkies too.

Our apartment is a typical Amsterdam size with a balcony. We live on the third floor, so your dog needs to either be small enough to carry or able to walk stairs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of love and company all day. There’s a stash of toys here that he/she is welcome to play with :) I only have one dog over at a time as a standard (unless you are bringing two who already live together) and I won’t introduce your dog to another dog without clearing with you first. (Park sniffs excluded :) ) 

Your dog will not be closed into a room all day and will not be left with unattended food or similar. If their meal time falls into the time spent here, please bring their food and I will make sure they get it on time! Medications like oral pills, eye/ear drops are fine but I can’t do injections or similar.

I grew up with a German Shepherd but unfortunately I can't have a dog at this point so I am looking for some part-time buddies! A day with me means two walks (one of them about an hour) and plenty of cuddles, but also discipline and boundaries. 

I’m not a dog trainer but I absolutely instill the basics with all my daycare dogs and like to agree the ground rules with the owners so we’re all working to the same goals. (walking without pulling, keeping focus, sit before crossing a road etc are typical starting points)

If your dog has issues with other dogs or any other quirks, please let me know beforehand. Not a problem if there’s something to be aware of, as long as I’m aware ;)

Does this all sound good? Are you looking for someone to be your dog’s backup auntie? Drop me a line and we can arrange a meet-up.
