About Vicky

10 years experience

Perfect home away from home for your beloved pet!

Hello. 
My name is Vicky McLachlan, I moved to Haarlem seven years ago. I am a professional photographer, mom and wife. 
We are originally from Centurion in South African. 🇿🇦🇳🇱
We have a Jack Russel named Zoey who is just over two years old. We are happy to open our home to your pet while you are away and make them apart of our family. We have two teenage boys who love animals and love playing, walking and taking care of animals. 
Your pet will join us for long walks twice a day that will last around 30 minutes in a park near our house where they can run and play with other dogs. 
We have a medium sized backyard with a patch of grass that is enclosed if your dog likes lying in the sun during the day for some fresh air. We live in an area that is surrounded by parks and open grass areas. 
Your dog will sleep in our living room area with our dog where it is warm and cosy. Our dog is social, very energetic and playful and likes making new friends. 
We will give medicine where neccesary and if you have any other request we are happy to listen.
We will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away ensuring a stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member.  
We understand how important peace of mind is when entrusting someone with your pet, which is why we maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet are happy and content. 
Due to the nature of our work someone will always be home during the day to keep your pet company. 
We don't allow animals on the bed, we have doggy beds on every floor of our house. Our dog follow us up and down the stairs and lie in her cosy bed where we are. 
We only take one dog at a time to make sure we can give lots of care and attention. 
Nederlandse vertaling:
Hallo. Mijn naam is Vicky McLachlan, zeven jaar geleden ben ik naar Haarlem verhuisd. Ik ben een professionele fotograaf, moeder en echtgenote. 
Wij komen oorspronkelijk uit Centurion in Zuid-Afrika. 🇿🇦🇳🇱
We hebben een Jack Russel genaamd Zoey, die iets meer dan twee jaar oud is. We stellen ons huis graag open voor uw huisdier terwijl u weg bent en maken ze onderdeel van ons gezin. We hebben twee tienerjongens die van dieren houden en graag spelen, wandelen en dieren verzorgen. 
Uw huisdier gaat twee keer per dag met ons mee voor lange wandelingen van ongeveer 30 minuten in een park vlakbij ons huis, waar hij kan rennen en spelen met andere honden. 
We hebben een middelgrote achtertuin met een stukje gras dat is omheind als uw hond overdag graag in de zon ligt voor wat frisse lucht. We wonen in een gebied dat wordt omgeven door parken en open grasvelden. 
Uw hond slaapt samen met onze hond in onze woonkamer waar het warm en gezellig is. Onze hond is sociaal, zeer energiek en speels en maakt graag nieuwe vrienden. 
Wij geven medicijnen waar nodig en als u een ander verzoek heeft, luisteren wij graag naar u. 
Wij zorgen ervoor dat uw huisdier zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt terwijl u weg bent, zodat u en uw harige familielid een stressvrije ervaring hebben. We begrijpen hoe belangrijk gemoedsrust is als u uw huisdier aan iemand toevertrouwt. Daarom onderhouden we een open communicatie en zorgen we regelmatig voor updates en foto's, zodat u kunt ontspannen in de wetenschap dat uw huisdier gelukkig en tevreden is. 
Vanwege de aard van ons werk is er overdag altijd iemand thuis om uw huisdier gezelschap te houden. Dieren zijn niet toegestaan op het bed, we hebben hondenbedden op elke verdieping van ons huis. Onze hond volgt ons de trap op en af en ligt in haar knusse bed waar wij zijn. 
Om er zeker van te zijn dat we veel zorg en aandacht kunnen geven, nemen we slechts één hond tegelijk mee.

I am very glad that Vick has looked after my dog. She loves dogs, also my dog got along very well with her dog. He had a very good time there and i could see that he was sad even to come back home. I would recommend Vicky to anyone that needs dog sitting

That was definitely a great time for Nola staying over with Vicky and her family. She was very happy with them, and I received wonderful pictures and videos of Nola playing with Zoey. Perfect place, with good people 🤗

Vicky and her family looked after my little dog Thura twice with the best of care. Also, Thura had a little friend Zoey (their jack russell) to play with.
