Dog & Human dogsitting team (Dara & Dennis)
Pet care experience
Our family has always taken in dogs from people who could no longer take care of them. In our household, the kids were respondible for taking care of the pets and so from a young age I learned to handle doggies. At the moment I have my own dog Dara for 10 years. Our fully vaccinated dog sitting team consits of; 1. Dara - 10 yr old Dachshund/Lab mix lady. Dara is great with other dogs, except for very energetic larger dogs. Dara has a lot of energy but also like to cuddle in the sunrays with her furry stayover guests. 2. Dennis - 41 yr old purebred human male. I have had family dogs all my life and in our household the kids were mostly responsible for taking care of the pets. Also I have dogsat up to 20 times for friends' dogs, sometimes up to 3 dogs. However 2 is the max. amount of doggies I can take on. Dara and I have lived together for 10 years in several countries and she normally had lots of doggy friends around for Dara to socialize with. Now I live back in the Netherlands and I find that Dara needs some company now and then. That made me decide it would be nice to dogsit in order to give Dara some company now and then. I work permanently from home and take long walks but we can adjust to our guests. We will accept regulars on a daily base but also long staying guests. The dogsitting would happen at my 3-room apartment in Diemen Noord with a large balcony with sun. We live in a 'polder', meaning its surrounded by nature and water. We would only accept vaccinated doggos. Larger dogs over 15kg that are very energetic are not a great match for Dara, however Dara sometimes stays with my family. So if the timing is right larger energetic dogs can be accepted. In regards with my neighbours, we cannot accept dogs that constantly bark or howl unfortunately.
Reviews

Dennis took great care of our dog. He really understands dogs and gives them what they need in the moment - be it some space, a ball or a walkie. We will definitely leave our dog with him again.
Dennis took care of our Labrador Theo for two weeks while we were away on vacation and I’m happy that we now have a trusted pet caregiver in him, whenever we plan our next trip. Theo is by no means an easy dog to handle with his 25 kg muscle build body, while well trained, he’s like every Labrador - playful and sometimes pulling the leash but Dennis managed to build a great relationship with him and was very engaged throughout, sending us a lot of photos to keep us updated. We can highly recommend Dennis as a caring dog owner himself he delivered and exceeded our expectations!
Dennis not only loves animals, and especially dogs, but also takes care of them with very high levels of responsibility, ensuring their needs are met and that they get all the love and attention in the world. Whenever Dennis takes care of my dog, I know she will enjoy long walks, lots of pets and cuddles, fun playing time and I can rely that she is in a safe and comfortable environment and having tons of fun. I'd trust Dennis with any pet.

My home is already designed for a dog's best life, so that is no issue. I have a large fenced off balcony for the sunny days. My apt has 3 rooms and so plenty of space for guests. I live in an area with super green area with lots of water and great walk options.

Information Dennis L. would like to know about your pet
Its good for me to know: - how your dog interacts with other dogs in and outside - how your dog reacts to animals outside (birds, mice, cats) - how much excersize the dog can manage daily, as we will adjust to their needs
A typical day
Normally we throw frisbee, balls or sticks, all depending how well our guests can share their toys off course. In general I will walk between 7 - 10 km per day with the dogs, as this is what I walk my dog daily. At the house I give our guests lots of attention and playtime, without disturbing the nap needs. All adjusted to the specific guests off course. In principal I never unleash our guests on outside walks, I do not like to take risks. The dogs will get lots of space with me on the leash.

Availability
I work from home permanently, and have plenty of time to walk dogs. I walk my dog 3 times a day; 07:00 (1,5hr) - 13:00 (1hr) - Evening 20:30 (15min). However we can slightly adjust to our guests' needs. My own dog is fine staying home alone, I normally am not longer away than up to 4 hours but this is exceptional. Again we can adjust to our guests.
