Hello!

I moved to Amsterdam from Scotland about 4 years ago now, after falling in love with Amsterdam when I came here to do my Masters. I've always loved animals and as a student I satisfied my need for puppy cuddles with pet sitting! Now I have two dogs of my own and I thought it would be nice for them to make some friends and get some extra play time!

At home my pomeranians Hamish (boy, nearly 4, chemically castrated) and Bonnie (girl, age 1, not castrated) have lots of space and a big garden of 52m2.  I can also keep the dogs separate, at first, in part or for the whole time, if any of the pups prefer their own space. We can do whatever works best for all of the pups.

We are located on a quiet street, near a couple of different sized parks and lots of nice grassy canal walks.

Normally we go out two or three times a day, depending on the weather. Our morning walk always features a trip to the local cafe, where the pups will get a little treat. I can take your dog on pack walks with one or two of my gang or otherwise on their own. 

I am a big fan of enrichment and mental stimulation for my own dogs, so I've got just about every type of feeder and enrichment toy that your dog is very welcome to try out. You can of course always bring your own! I've got plenty of gates and pens to make sure your dog can eat in a separate space if they prefer that, or else they can go in a separate room.

Most of the time I'm working from home, so your pup won't be left alone too long. We can talk about any requirements you have for that, and everything else I should know about your dog!

I would always love to introduce the pups first before they come and stay, but appreciate it won't always be possible.

If your dog is in daycare or overnight, please let me know if you prefer that I don't accept any other dogs those days!

To protect my pups, I ask that yours have up to date vaccinations and don't show any symptoms of illness!

I'm located in de Pijp, so I can do home visits there and in the surrounding neighbourhoods (oud zuid, museumplein).
