Hello! I'm Mel 🙋‍♀️. I live in Amsterdam with Geoff, my boyfriend and Adolfito 🐶, a Yorkshire Terrier who immigrated with me from Argentina in 2020. Geoff and I love pets and we're thinking of adopting a companion to accompany and play with Adolfito. He is very friendly with other animals and enjoys their company very much. Whenever we travel, he travels with us and that has made him a very sociable puppy 🐾💕. Your furry one will spend a beautiful stay with us ☺️.

Doggy Day Care • jun. 08, 2026

I can't say enough amazing things about Melissa! Finding the right person to look after my dog Amara is not easy. She has separation anxiety and food allergies and is used to being with me everywhere I go. The energy and patience of the person caring for her matters enormously. I found Melissa literally the evening before I needed someone, and she responded so fast and so warmly that I immediately felt at ease. We arranged a meetup in a neutral space between our dogs in the very next morning. Amara and Adolfo hit it off instantly, and we had a click too! Melissa provides walks and daytime sitting on my office days, and Amara absolutely loves her. Watching my dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable with someone other than me fills my heart in a way I didn't expect. For a dog with separation anxiety, that is everything. I truly feel like I found the next best thing after myself for my furbaby. If you're looking for someone who brings the right energy, genuine love for dogs, and incredible responsiveness, look no further. Melissa is a gem! 🐾💛

Melissa is amazing! Toddy spent 10 days under her care, he was incredibly happy, looked after and cared for. She constantly sent us pictures and videos of him walking, playing, and sleeping which made us feel close to him every day during his stay. When we picked him up he was happy and cheerful! He also made a friends with Adolfo Melissa’s doggie who is very sweet.

Pets

A typical day

I love playing with dogs at home or in the park. In addition, I think it is very important that they have a quiet space to rest comfortably and recharge their batteries so that they can continue playing and enjoying each moment.
