Hi, I’m Bernard, a dog owner living in Scheveningen. My own dog, Jackson, an 8-year-old mix, is my daily walking companion, so I know how much it matters to leave your dog with someone you trust. I grew up with dogs, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. What I offer Dog walks (30 or 60 minutes): a walk on the beach, in the dunes or in one of the parks, with fresh water and a short update and photo afterwards. Which dogs suit me I’m happy with small to large dogs that are social with other dogs, since Jackson may come along on walks. I can also do solo walks for dogs that prefer them. Day routine Your dog’s day follows a calm, steady rhythm with Jackson: a morning walk, rest and play at home, a longer walk around midday, and a relaxed afternoon. I stick to your dog’s usual feeding times and habits as much as possible. Supervision I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so guest dogs are supervised for most of the day. Dogs are always on a lead near roads, and only go off-lead where it’s allowed and you’ve agreed to it. Introducing your dog to Jackson The first meeting happens on neutral ground, during a walk, before we go inside together. I watch their body language closely and give them time and space to get used to each other. If they don’t get along, I’ll tell you honestly. Time alone Guest dogs are never left alone for more than 2–3 hours. When I do have to leave, Jackson and your dog are kept apart unless they’re clearly comfortable together. Practical details I live in Scheveningen, close to the beach and the dunes. I’m available on weekdays and can usually fit in last-minute requests. I’m always happy to arrange a free meet-and-greet first, so you and your dog can get to know me.
