Full-time doggies lovers
Pet care experience
Hi! We are Laura and Abel, a dogs lover young couple living in Scheveningen area. We both have a very flexible schedule and are able to spend most of our time at home. Therefore, your flurry friend will always have company at our place, lots of cuddles and all the exercise he/she needs. We live in spacious ground floor apartment with a beautiful garden for all of us to enjoy and play. Since the arrival of our beloved baby daughter, dogs are not allowed on the sofa or bed for the time being. Nearby we have the Scheveningen Bos (10 min walking) and the beach, Zuiderstrand, where dogs are allowed all year (15 min walking). In both of these areas it is possible to walk the doggies off-leashed. We have bowls for the food, toys, beds, blankets and treats for your doggy, so you will not need to bring your own. However, it would be great if you could bring the treats they love most since we never give them from our food and sometimes that can be a bit hard on them. And also, their bed or a blanket that smells like home is always nice for them. We think it is best for both parts if we get the chance to meet before the booking, preferably at our place, so you can also see the home where your dog is going to stay. We might have up to 2 doggies staying at the same time, which for the both of us is still pretty easy to handle and enjoyable. We have quite a lot of experience with dogs, having own doggies back in Spain and Cuba and dogsitting for 4 years now. We have experience with several breeds and also taking care of senior dogs, with especial and medical needs as well as puppies. While your friend stays with us, we will make sure of providing you with daily updates, pictures and videos, so you will always know how she/he is doing. We are happy to take care of puppies, we do love active doggies and playing with them. However, we find it difficult to accept doggies under 6 months. Even though we are home most of the time, we like being very organized with our schedules and therefore we really appreciate punctuality for the meet & greet and for picking up and dropping off the doggies. We are available for pick up and drop off between 8am and 10pm. In case you would need to come earlier in the morning or later at night, we might ask you to book another day. Bookings for Dog Boarding last a max of 24h and Doggy Day Care a max of 12h. However a time extension can be discussed. When I offer visits or dogsitting at your house, I have a very flexible schedule so I can adapt to the visiting needs of the dog or what you would like best (schedule, duration). No need to say I will be caring and responsable with your house as well as with your dog(s). Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions!
Reviews
Laura en Abel zijn helemaal top. Mijn hond vindt uit logeren gaan het ergste dat er is: komt altijd terug met maag-/darmproblemen van de zenuwen. Maar na 4 dagen bij Laura was ze vrolijk, gezond en fit! Ik ben super blij met ze!
Laura was kind, helpful, and quick to respond! She and her husband are very good dog sitters and I really enjoyed the videos and pictures they sent of my dogs. Would recommend!
First time we leave our dog with a sitter and the experience with Laura has been really good. Our dog had a great time and we could enjoy our trip perfect!!
Ollie had a great time. Hé slept all the way home and the whole night like a baby. Tierd of playing all day.

Safety, trust & environment
Our garden is fully fenced and we never leave them in the garden unattended. In the main entrance of the house we have two doors (one at the very entrance and another one in the corridor) so we can make sure that they cant run away while opening the entrance door.

Information Laura V. would like to know about your pet
Please, do let us know in advance if your doggy has any allergy or special need. Also, if there is something specific that we need to be careful of leaving at his/her reach (papers, plants, shoes, etc...), or if they have any form of separation anxiety, such as barking, chewing on things or crying when you leave the house or the room. If they need to sleep in a certain area of the house, that is also handy to know.
A typical day
We love to play with the doggies in our garden. Also, if possible, we will walk them off-leash and play their favorite games in the beach or forest where we have more space and also the opportunity to run with other doggies.

Availability
We try to adapt to the routine of the doggies but mostly we walk them 3 times a day with one long walk to the forest or the beach. In the meanwhile we are almost always at home and the door to the garden is always open for them.
