Leanne

Hi!

I’m Leanne, I am 29 years old and dog sitting is my full-time profession.

I have to start off by saying that I love dogs! They are my number one passion! There’s nothing that makes me smile more than seeing a dog smiling back at me, wagging its tail in excitement!!! I live with my dog Beau, who is the sweetest of dogs. She is seven years old and she spent the first three years of her life living with three other dogs. So she is very social and good around both male and female dogs and she’s particularly good with puppies as she has a strong mothering instinct. Beau loves people and will be a great new friend for your dog during their stay. As for me, I really care about the feelings of the dogs which are in my care and I am very interested in the psychology of how they think and behave. I am currently working towards a Diploma in Dog Training. This is a certified qualification from the Centre of Excellence Training School because I want to expand my knowledge and skills to further my profession.

I would love to make your dog as happy and as comfortable as possible during their stay at our spacious ground level, air-conditioned luxury apartment. We have a large garden surrounded by high fences, a doggie swimming pool for those hot summer days, and outside a park that has a large open space. This is where your dog will have their every need catered for which includes; constant supervision, plenty of playtime with our large selection of dog toys, cuddles, loads of attention and 30 minutes to 1 hour walks in some beautiful local areas. These include walks around the Castle Erenstein, the river Worm, and the Brunssummerheide where your dog can enjoy the natural spring waters and play in the silver sand. This is a popular location to view the rare silver sands which are surrounded by beautiful green forestry, found in very few locations across the world. This is where your dog will have lots of fun exploring!

When your dog is ready to relax, he/she is welcome to sit or sleep on any of the couches or beds that we have in our apartment. We also have a dog basket for dogs who prefer to use that instead, we leave it up your dog to decide where they’re most comfortable. During your dog’s stay, they will be treated as if they are our own because to me, dogs are not only pets but family! They are the most loyal friends on the planet and they deserve nothing but 100% love and devotion. Dogs have been a big part of our lives as we have no children, so when my boyfriend’s home your dog will have extra attention and cuddles from him too!

One thing you should know is that I’m from Wales. I moved to the Netherlands a few years ago, so I only speak English but I’m currently learning Dutch. I have lived with a dog since I have moved out here and have been dog sitting others regularly. This has helped me to learn how to speak basic dog commands in Dutch and so I will be able to communicate with your dog. My boyfriend was born in The Netherlands and has grown up around this area. He is fluent in speaking in Dutch, English, and German. You can also talk with him if it makes you more comfortable before bringing your dog.
