Hello! I am an American who has lived in the Netherlands for about a year. I did dogsitting on Rover for three years in America and enjoyed it a lot, and thought I would give it a try here in the Netherlands. I live in a ground-floor apartment in Wolvega with a garden and many grassy areas nearby for walks. I do work three shifts a week at FrieslandCampina in Wolvega so there will be 8-hour blocks where I am not home, but my partner will be home at those times so your dog will never be alone. I have very extensive experience with taking care of dogs. I ran a Greyhound rescue group from 1996 to 2009 and constantly fostered during that time (as well as had three dogs of my own). Since then I have fostered for Old Dog Haven, Seattle Purebred Dog Rescue and a few other rescue groups. I have always been a "dog person". I also volunteered at PAWS Wildlife for 5 years so I am proficient at wrangling all manner of uncooperative critters. There's nothing a dog can do to upset me. For drop-ins, I have in the past provided care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, fish and lizards, and I will also will take in packages and water indoor/outdoor plants if you wish. Please, no larger-breed puppies at my home. They may meet the weight limit but without a fenced yard I'm just not set up for their energy-expenditure needs. By "larger breed" I mean any dog whose adult weight will exceed about 13 kg. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
