Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm home with enclosed garden
We are a family based in The Hague who genuinely enjoy having dogs around. Over the years we’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, and we’re used to adapting to what each dog needs. Our home is located right next to Clingendael Park and the Haagse Bos, which makes it ideal for regular walks in a calm, green environment. We also have a spacious, fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely spend time outside during the day. Our work schedules are hybrid, so we rotate days working from home. This means there is usually someone present and dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. We have a toddler at home who absolutely loves dogs. We’ve been doing this since before she was born, so she is very comfortable around them. It’s important that your dog is gentle and okay around young children. Inside, dogs are part of the home and can settle wherever they feel most comfortable. Some prefer to stay close, others like their own space, and both are completely fine. We focus on keeping things calm, safe and predictable. We pay attention to things like secure entry and exit, routines, and clear communication. During the stay, we’re happy to send updates in the way that works best for you. We’ve built strong relationships with many returning clients, which we value a lot. If you’d like, you’re always welcome to arrange a short meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit.

Thank you so much Michael and Justine for taking so good care of Denzel and Viggo! They are totally relaxed and happy at your place when we picked them up. Great to have such a good holiday address in The Hague for our 2 labradors! 🤩
Michael was super friendly and accommodating! He sent us multiple updates and made our little Mila truly feel at home.
We have a nice experience leaving Tango for the day with Michael and his family. His house is big with a nice garden. Tango was so happy when we picked him up, it looks he definitively had a good time. Michael was sending pictures and keeping us posted during the day about Tango. We already reached out to him to take care of Tango again.This time for a couple of days. Thanks Michael
Michael walked my dog, Fado a couple of times. He came on time and was reliable. We staid in touch via the app and I could see how the walk went. Michael was answering messages very quickly which gave me piece of mind at work and I knew my dog is taken care of.
Today we picked up a totally happy Denzel from Michael who took care for him for 11 days during our vacation. Denzel had clearly a wonderful time and was fully relaxed and happy. Michael sent us short updates and pictures during Denzel’s stay so we knew everything went well. Michael has obviously a lot of experience with several types of dogs. I can highly recommend Micheal as a super dog care taker!
Excellent pet-sitter! Kajko was happy. A lot of space including garden. Kajko will definitely come back to Michael.

Schedule
First of all…. We love dogs! 😂 I think outer picture library speaks for ourself but we absolutely love them and unfortunately we don’t have our own dog anymore so that’s been a big change for us. We’re a family that loves to have dogs around and help people feel comfortable while they’re away from their dogs. I’m currently working a mostly remote job and my wife is doing her masters in the evening. This means that we’re very often at home which allows us to do this. So someone will almost always be home to accompany your dog.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust and communication are very important to us. We will always ensure a safe environment through several factors such as making sure that the hallway door is closed before opening our front door, preventing escapes.
A typical day
I make sure to walk 3x times a day, usually one of the walks of at least an hour to nearby forests, dunes and along the beach. I do my best to have fun play sessions in between the day and we also have different puzzle toys that you put treats in so that they can keep entertained.
