Hi! I am Marelise, and I am 32 years old, working as a consultant in the Healthcare field. I speak Dutch, English and Afrikaans. I have been living in NL for 6 years, and would love my own dog... but I my schedule, travel and work is a bit too inconsistent. 

So, that is why I would love to take care of your dog. I say dog, as I do not have a lot of experience with other animals. Dogs however - I have had my own throughout my life and taken care of dogs of friends/family. They are just amazing - smart, funny and all with their own personality. 

I have predominantly experience with small sized dogs and also prefer small dogs who do not shed too much, as I live in a medium sized apartment with balcony -+80m2. I also prefer that the dog does not sleep on my bed or couch. The rest - i am easy about.

There are many green-spaces in the neighborhood of course. Right outside my home is a large green walking space, but a street further is also a dedicated dog space. 

I am willing to adapt to your dog's need regarding how long and how often they need to go outside. I can work from home on the days your dog is here, but might leave for a dinner or gym or half a day office (if it is a multi day stay) - please let me know what you prefer and we can see how I can help. The first day I try not to leave the house, just to get your dog at ease. Your dog's peace of mind has priority. 

I allow one owner per time. I will probably ask you all the details about your dog, to ensure they feel at home and safe at my place. and so that you can relax. 

I assume you will bring food with you and bedding / toys to help your dog feel comfortable.

I prefer shorter bookings, but if it is for a few days, I prefer to have to meet beforehand - and maybe do a short trialrun to see how it goes. We need to all feel comfortable:)

I, myself am sporty and a nature lover, so I also love going on walks or runs - which is much nicer with a dog. I have quite a flexible work regarding whether I go to office or WFHome and also my hours are flexible. 

Also older dogs, who walk slow - no worries.

I also do not mind staying at your home if you have good wifi and a space to work 😉 I can also water your plants, although I am better with dogs than plants... 😅

 Any questions? Just ask away!

Heeft u vragen? stel ze gerust maar :)vriendelijke groeten, Marelise
