A typical day

A Typical Day in My Care 🐾 Your dog’s day begins with a cheerful greeting and plenty of morning playtime in the large fenced yard. After breakfast, they’ll enjoy exercise and social time with my three friendly dogs, ensuring they feel included and loved. Midday often includes a walk to the nearby park, where they can stretch their legs, explore, and take in new sights and smells. Afternoons are for relaxation—whether lounging in a sunny spot, getting belly rubs, or napping after play. If grooming is needed, the dog spa just two minutes away makes it simple to add a little pampering. Evenings bring another round of outdoor play and companionship before dinner, keeping their routine consistent. Throughout the day, I provide affection, structure, and regular updates, so you know your pup is happy, safe, and thriving.

Evelien was amazing! So calm and gracious, our poochies felt the good vibes and comfortable right away! We wondered how our dogs would react to Evelien’s 3 dogs, but they were so friendly, all becoming a “pack” within 5 minutes! They have actually helped to socialize our dogs. There was s big backyard for our energetic dogs to run about outside, and Evelien sent pix and videos that were quite adorable. We felt SO comfortable about their stay and will absolutely hope to rebook with Evelien again.

Evelien was a phenomenal dog sitter. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, sent updates, and gave our pup a beautiful home away from home. Her 3 dogs are just as friendly and welcoming as she is.

Evelien is absolutely a gem. She is warm and caring. This was Sadie’s first overnight stay with Evelien and Sadie loved every minute of it. We loved all the updates. We know that Sadie has a home away from home in Evelien’s care. We have booked a stay in May. Thank you Evelien.

Evelien was genuinely the best! I felt comforted the whole time due to her constant updates and adorable photos! She was responsive and extremely friendly! My Ducky came back happy and in the best mood!!! I will definitely be sending my little boy back to Evelien for future stays and would recommend to anyone else looking for a sitter!
