Hello!! We are a couple of active dog lovers living just around the corner from the dog park at Sarphati Park.
My name is Erica (30) I am a professional ballet dancer from Canada living in the Pijp with my boyfriend Dave (31) a hospitality professional who is from Amsterdam. We have a big love for the great outdoors and all living things. Dave and I have broad experience looking after various dog breeds and cats, and having myself grown up in a family of golden retrievers, large breed dogs are my specialty. :) We are so happy to welcome your beloved pets into our home while you are away, and if your pooch just needs a few extra walks or runs through the park each day, that also brings us so much joy!
Our house in the pijp does not have a backyard of its own, but we are on bel-etage level with a private door right out on to our front doorstep, easily accessible for pets of all sizes and agility levels, and also convenient for pets who are in a hurry to get out to the park!
Dave and I often have offset work schedules, ensuring that your pet will always get the full amount of attention, playtime, walktime, and love that they need while you are away. :)
Erica and Dave are wonderful, conscientious and accommodating. We have complete trust in their ability to care for and love our Mr. Jones.
Erica and Dave were wonderful. They took great care of Mr Jones. Sent us lots of great pics. And so helpful. They went out of their way to help us and their communication was quick and reliable.
Having grown up with dogs my whole life, along with the given necessary skills that come with pet care (feeding, refilling water, excercising, loving, cleaning, picking up after) I have a fair bit of experience in general grooming, brushing, clipping toenails, trimming fur, brushing teeth, washing, cleaning/drying ears and eyes, giving medication (only when prescribed), and basic training. We have a bathtub and if your pet needs or would like a good wash let us know (for small additional charge).
If there are any special needs that you or your pet have, we are always up for the task, and will do everything we can to keep your loved one as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away!
