Note: I might be available around Christmas, but I am deciding that around mid-November. Until then the days are blocked so that I dont have to decline too many requests.
Note also: Beagles will have priority during that period. If you have a Beagle and are looking for a sitter during Christmas, please just select another date and reach out to me. 😊

Hello, my name is Marion and I'd love to look after your doggo in the future! :)

I'm a 25 years old student from Germany. I currently pursue my Master in Sociology and Social Research at the UU. 

I live in a spacious house in Zeist, also very close to open fields and the forest. This means no matter whether the dog would be, at home with me or outside on walks, there's plenty of space to move and be comfortable. In more detail, my own room and the living room would be the hangout place for your dog. The living room is about 20 sqm big, my own room a bit smaller with 12sqm. Overnight, the dog could sleep on the sofa. I have one flatmate (the owner of the house) who is a calm and relaxed person. He also likes dogs, so news guests are always welcome for him as well.

The first time I looked after a dog was during my time as an AuPair in England. My hostfamily had an adorable, senior West Highland Terrier called Dougal and his requests for belly rubs made me instantly fall in love with him.
Now, many years later I often take care of my friend's Beagle Paco whenever he is on holiday. He's a two year old rebel, loves a good round of playing tug and is totally food-obsessed. I love him very much, you can see him on my photos.

My experience and love for dogs made me think about offering my services as a pet sitter. I am happy to look after your dog in my house for a few hours or several days, as need be. Pick-up of drop-off depends on the location and time but can be discussed. I am also open to look after your dog in your home if you prefer.
In general, I would take your dog on 3-4 walks per day. On average the walk is 20minutes long. On days with more time, I also like to go on one longer walk, depending on the dogs ability and mood.
I am also happy to look after two dogs at the same time, but this goes only for small to mid-sized, more relaxed dogs.
For short stays, I can provide 24h supervision. This is easy as I can work and study mostly from home. For stays that are multiple days long, the dog should be able to be alone for up to 4hours.

Please message me if you have any other questions!
