Hello! I am Indian and my husband is Dutch. We live in Utrecht. I am a marketer by profession who also loves animals, especially dogs. I've been a mum to three doggos of my own.

I am a professional Dog behaviourist and Puppy trainer working in The Netherlands.

You can find my work on Instagram: wetnoseandtailwags

I am a patient, fun & motivated person to whom animals bring a lot of joy & I guess it's mutual! And a strong advocate of the fact that animals are extremely smart & determined and not to be taken for granted :)

I am here to help foster or take care of Dogs for people who are away for a while or just need help. In the last 2 years, a lot of people have adopted pets (young dogs/cats) and are still learning how to bring up their pet pooch! I am here to also help new pet parents learn a bit more about their lovely Pooch and make a difference by helping them feel more connected with each other! Prior to this I have successfully worked with animal shelters & families for Dogs, especially with behavioural issues, puppies & older dogs of any breed, size or gender!


1. What to expect from me:

I'm well versed with the kind of exercise & feeding routines pets may have & I'm also equally focussed on discipline, hygiene & affection accordingly. I can also help dogs with behaviour issues, calm down, get lots of exercise and help train them! I can provide and take care of any Medication (including injectibles)

2. About our House:

Our house is in Lombok in Utrecht. For older dogs there is no problem of climbing stairs. We have a small backyard, lots of parks & the waterfront around; Especially 'Molen Ster/Molen Park', Park oog in Al and Pebble Street (cremerstraat) for the dogs to interact/play with other dogs Or just have a lovely long walk in... You can check the location(s) on Google map! For puppies, our house is Puppy proof that provides a happy warm and cool place (depending on the weather), there is no chance of escape and there is a lovely little backyard to play fetch in :)

3. Day Care Routine for Dogs staying with me:

Walking the dog(s) or caring for them at our house is highly preferred by me. I do atleast 1 long morning walk to one of the parks and socialise the pets with other pets and people (45-60 min). I also normally do 4 dog walks per day


I'm comfortable with Big/Giant dogs, female or male. Young or Old! Cats or any other pets

4. Do I keep multiple pets?

Depending on the health/breed & behaviour of dogs, I do not keep more than 2/3 dogs at a time. Dogs will be together only when I know they are friendly and will get along with each other. In all cases they get along very well and since I have repeat clients, most times I have multiple Dogs. Until now, It has been very healthy & Happy and good for them to socialise with each other in a different environment, younger dogs learn from older dogs as well :)

5. Treating Dogs with anxiety, eating issues or other health issues:

I am very open to having Dogs with any anxiety, fears or health issues! I have been working a lot in India and here with various breeds and dog behaviours and all I have learnt is to be calm & patient & give them lots of exercise & treats and let them relax and have a vacation in our place :)

6. Supervision, Sleeping & Moving around:

The dog(s) will not be left alone for more than 60-90 min (When I need to step out)... The dogs will not be leashed or tied up, they get a free area to move & follow me around. They sleep in their bed in our living room, we keep the temperature regulated for the pet's comfort! I am a freelancer, who works from Home and therefore can spend plenty of time with the Pets. Please check my Availability on my calendar... I am easily available to respond here. We have no kids or other pets in our house

7. What if my Dog is not castrated/In Heat

In case your dog falls in this category, please feel free to let me know so I can make arrangements accordingly, like not have a girl who's in heat or a boy dog that will a trouble maker for another dog :) It's No problem, so do not worry!


'My aim is to send back home a happy Pup or leave behind a happy Kitty and a happy parent(s)!'

My Dutch proficiency is very basic, Ik spreek een beetje Nederlandse :) If that's not an issue with you; Do ping me in!

Thanks for reading my profile and hoping you can trust me with your baby (ies)

Dankjewel
