Leanne

Hi!

I’m Leanne, I am 29 years old and dog sitting/training 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 two dogs Beau and Nyla, who are the sweetest of dogs. Beau is seven years old and she spent the first three years of her life living with three other dogs. 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. Nyla, my puppy is five months old and she has been socialised with other dogs since birth and she is a happy playful pup! Beau and Nyla would be great new friends for your dog during their stay.

Your dog will have the very best care here at Doggy Dreams Daycare. I am a qualified dog trainer with a certified Diploma from the Centre of Excellence training school. I am also qualified in dog socialisation and obedience training. I really care about dogs and how they feel and I am very interested in the psychology behind how they think and behave. That is the reason why I am currently working towards a qualification in dog behaviour and psychology, 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 an 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.

Bookings for 2021 are filling up quickly. Because of this, it’s best to book in early as I can only look after a limited amount of dogs per day. Owners with dogs which can get along with other dogs will have a better chance at securing a booking, as I prioritise the wellbeing and safety of all the dogs in my care.
