Hi, my name is Chi Chi. While traveling in Spain, I found my puppy Paco on the streets and took him into our van. We are now back in the Netherlands, and he has grown into a very friendly and social six-month-old pup who loves playing with both dogs and humans.

I have always loved dogs and have experience with them from a young age, including raising a German Shepherd at my parents’ home. I have also trained Paco myself while traveling. He is potty trained, crate trained, and responds well to basic commands. In between my dogs I looked after lots of dogs from friends while they were on holiday.

If you leave your dog with me, they can expect plenty of playtime, cuddles, and daily walks. I usually walk Paco in a nearby forest where dogs can be off-leash, but of course I will keep your dog on a leash if that is your preference.

I am a massage therapist and work partly from home and partly on location. I only offer dog care on the days I work from home, and I plan my schedule so I have enough time for the dogs, including at least three walks a day. The dogs will be downstairs when I work upstairs. A session usually is around 60 to 90 minutes. Afterwards I plan time to be with the dogs before a new client comes. The dogs will not be alone at home, since Paco has separation anxiety. If I have to work on location, Paco goes to a sitter himself.

I live in tivoli, close to a park and a little forest where dogs can be off leash. There are some fields attached to the forest if we want to make a longer walk. My house is a small family home, with a big and fenced garden. I still need to make the garden more beautiful, but I received the keys six months ago so it's still a project.

Paco loves having other dogs around and is very good at reading dog behavior. If another dog sets a boundary, he respects it. Like any young dog, he can get a bit energetic, so I make sure he also gets enough rest, including time in his crate when needed.

The first time your dog will be here we will take it easy. Slowly introduce the dogs, let them explore the house and go for a walk. Please let me know if your dog has any behaviour issues so we can see if we can match it with me and Paco. 

If you feel this could be a good match for your dog, feel free to reach out so we can arrange a meeting.
