Hello,
We are a Vietnamese-American couple that live in a
80m^2 apartment close to the city center of Den Haag, with our dog Peanut.
Peanut is a mixed rescue dog from Spain that we adopted at 5 month old.
We have decided to do dog-sitting at our place,
because as pet owners ourself, we understand so well the struggle to look for a
dog sitter when going on holiday. Therefore we want to be part of the solution
for other dog owners.
I am working half of the week at home, while Romano
follows an online bachelor program and has another 10-hour part-time job.
Therefore, your dog and our Peanut would rarely be left at home alone without
the two of us of more than 2 hours (we also have a pet camera at home). Of
course, we can only take in dogs that get along with our Peanut who is friendly
and playful with other dogs and has never bitten anyone. We are actually very
proud of Peanut, as many people including our friends and other dog sitters
have told us that Peanut is a well behaved dog inside and outside.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor with an elevator,
but it is a 2-storey apartment with a staircase, hence it may not be suitable
for dogs with knee problems. However, we have hosted dogs with a fear for
stairs, as we have stair gate to prevent your dog from falling down the stairs.
We only have a small balcony with some pots of plant. Very close to our
building is a strip of fenced ~50m-long land that dogs are allowed to run off
leash. In the weekend, we often take Peanut to parks in the city; and hence we
are happy to take your dog with us too.
We normally walk Peanut 4 times a day: 8am, 12pm,
5pm and 10pm, and feed him after the walk at 8am and 5pm. Hence we will take
your buddy on the same walk. Since we have areas where dogs can be off leash,
we always encourage the dogs to release all their energy outside (either by
playing with each other or fetch with us), and inside it should be quiet time
for all dogs. We also have indoor foldable fences that we can put up to
separate the dogs if one is too eager to play inside while the other just wants
to rest. And certainly, we would for sure send you photos of them playing and
hopefully cuddling in bed.
We usually take care of 2 dogs at a time and we of course always make sure that the two dogs have to be calm in nature.
We hope to help you out and find Peanut a play
buddy!

Chung and Romano took perfect care of our dog Willy while we were on a three-week vacation. They are professional, kind, easy to get in touch with (they respond very quickly) and clearly love taking care of dogs. Chung has sent us pictures of Willy every day during our vacation, which was very comforting. We could see that Willy had a great time, also with Peanut, their dog and with another dog they took care of at the same time, George. They seemed to have a lot of fun together. I would definitely recommend Chung and Romano to anyone. Your dog will be in good hands, that's for sure!
Ik ben erg blij met Chung en Romano. Ze zijn superlief en heel voorzichtig met de honden. Dalí speelt heel leuk met hun hond Peanut en de andere logeerhond Willy. Erg tevreden met de omgeving met speciale kleden zodat de honden niet uitglijden op de gladde vloer. Veel speeltjes en veel aandacht. Ze zijn goed te bereiken, flexibel en houden zich aan de afspraken.
