Availability
I work a few days a week at a dog daycare organisation on a rural farmland property outside of Amsterdam. On my working days, if I am looking after a dog, I like to bring them with me so that they can socialise with the pack. All transport is done using a fully converted, dog-friendly wagon with additional AC (and lots of cookies!). If a dog needs to be left alone or doesn't get along with other dogs, this can also be easily accommodated during the day in a safe, penned-off area at the facility. On my days off, I am entirely flexible and work from home while finishing my Master's thesis, making my routine highly compatible with dedicated pet care.

Safety, trust & environment
I live with my girlfriend in a large, multi-room apartment in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The location is convenient for dogs and humans alike, being just a short walk from several metro stations and with easy drop-off outside via street access. We are lucky to be located just a stone's throw away from Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark, with the Amstel and the Amsterdamse Bos close by, providing some wonderful green spaces right on our doorstep for daily walks. Our apartment has two balconies (one of which gets the sun all day long ☀️☀️☀️) and plenty of comfy space inside for dogs to relax. All my dog guests get an entire room to themselves to ensure they have their own quiet and safe space to rest—unless, of course, they prefer to cuddle up with us on the sofa or in bed... Because of my professional background managing packs, safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities, whether looking after a pet in my home or yours.

Information Jackson M. would like to know about your pet
To help me provide the best possible care, please share a bit about your dog before we meet: Socialisation: How do they react to other animals, children, and environmental triggers? Can they safely go off-lead? What's their favourite toy or treat? What commands do they know/respond to? Health: Do they have any specific dietary needs or medical requirements? Personality: What makes them happiest, and how can I quickly earn their trust?
A typical day
Every day is tailored to the specific dogs staying with me, but a typical day balances high-energy outdoor exploration with plenty of structured downtime. For dogs joining me on my working days at the farm, the day starts with a short trip in a fully converted, air-conditioned dog wagon out to a fantastic, secure, rural farmland facility outside of Amsterdam. Here, they get to spend the morning and afternoon socialising safely with the pack, running in large open spaces, and practicing their pack skills. If preferred, your dog can also remain in a secure outside area that is separate from the other dogs, giving them peace and quiet while still getting to stay outside throughout the day. For dogs staying with me on my days off, we stick closer to home. I never leave the house without my frisbee and a pocket full of dog treats! A typical day includes morning and evening walks exploring the local parks, or nipping to the supermarket to get some groceries together. We might meet a human friend or two of mine along the way... my friends always love to meet and play with the dogs I'm looking after for an afternoon. Every dog is a little bit unique in how they like to play and rest, so I always make sure to match their energy well. Whether it’s chasing a toy, a structured training session, or a long, sniffing stroll, my goal is a happy, fulfilled dog. To this day, I am yet to meet a dog that I couldn't tire out! Once we are back at the apartment, the focus shifts to relaxation. Dogs can wind down in their own dedicated room for some quiet time, or, if they prefer, find a spot on the balcony to bask in some sun ☀️ or curl up on the sofa with us for the evening.

Pet care experience
I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners that I met in the city or at surrounding walking spots. During my time in Utrecht, I also worked for a local hondenuitlaat service, which gave me experience with a lot of common (and some less common) Dutch breeds. A few years later, I am now living in Amsterdam, working full-time with dogs at a fantastic farm facility outside of the city, and finishing up my Master's degree. Do I sound like the right fit for you and your dog? Drop me a message and we can arrange an initial meeting to get to know each other better! (Multiple positive references available upon request).
