Loving Dog Boarding: Where Your Dog Feels at Home 🐾 Loving Dog Boarding in Haarlem – Where Your Dog Feels at Home 🐾 Looking for a place where your dog will be treated like family? You've found it! With plenty of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, we offer safe, calm, and personal dog boarding filled with love, gentle routines, and plenty of individual attention. Here, every pup enjoys a peaceful home, tail-wagging walks, and the kind of care that makes them feel happy, secure, and truly at home while you're away. About Us We're Melisa and Emre — a couple who share a lifelong love for dogs and a passion for giving them a safe, happy place to stay. Some pet parents may already know us as Paw Suite Haarlem, where we've been sharing our love for dogs through personalised, home-based care. Melisa grew up in Germany surrounded by loyal companions who joined her on countless adventures, while her tiny Chihuahua taught her that every dog, big or small, has a unique spirit and a deep need to belong. Emre grew up in Istanbul caring for street dogs, making sure they were fed, safe, and loved. Together, we've created a calm, home-based environment where dogs can feel truly at ease — whether that's enjoying a stroll through the park, a long walk in nature, or a refreshing swim on a sunny day. Because we both work from home, your pup is rarely left alone and becomes part of our daily life. Calm mornings, gentle walks, cosy evenings, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of rest are all part of the experience. We keep things small-scale to ensure every dog receives the attention, supervision, and care they deserve. This isn't just a service — it's our way of sharing a peaceful, loving space with dogs who deserve to feel truly at home while you're away. Over the years, we've gained extensive experience with dogs of all kinds — young or old, tiny or giant, shy or full of energy. We believe every dog has their own unique personality, and we can't wait to get to know yours. What Makes Our Care Special • Small-scale, home-based care in a calm environment • We treat every dog like family, with cuddles, companionship, and genuine affection • Tailored routines based on your dog's individual needs, energy level, and personality • Plenty of outdoor adventures, from park walks and nature outings to occasional swimming trips on warm days • Flexible drop-off and pick-up times to fit around your schedule • A safe and comfortable 95 m² home with two floors and a secure fenced garden • Experienced care for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with special routines • Medication administration, enrichment activities, and reinforcement of training cues when needed Our Experience We've cared for shy rescues, energetic puppies, and dignified seniors of every size — from Toy Poodles to Cane Corsos. We understand anxious dogs, first-time boarders, and those with special routines or additional needs. We'll happily follow your dog's diet, medication plan, and training cues to help them feel safe and secure. Most of all, we truly love what we do. There's nothing better than seeing a nervous dog relax, a senior guest enjoy a sunny nap, or a puppy discover the joy of a new game. Never miss your pup while you're away! We know how comforting it is to see your dog happy and relaxed, so we send regular photo and video updates along with little notes about their day. That way, you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, loved, and having fun. And if you'd prefer to completely switch off and unwind, we completely understand — we'll quietly take care of everything until you're ready for an update. 💌 Let's Meet! Before the first stay, we arrange a meet-and-greet so your dog can get comfortable with us and explore their home away from home. Whether you're away for a weekend or a few weeks, we'll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. 📅 Book now and give your dog the calm, happy care they deserve! 🐾 Some pet parents may already know us as Paw Suite Haarlem, where we share our passion for personalised, home-based dog care. FAQ About My Services What does your service include? Every dog is unique, so I tailor my care to fit your pup’s individual needs. Before your dog’s stay, we’ll have a friendly meet-and-greet to chat about their routine, preferences, and any special requirements. Typically, your dog will enjoy 3 to 4 walks a day—including one longer stroll—plus plenty of cuddles, playtime, and rest. We strictly follow your feeding instructions and accommodate any dietary or medical needs with care and attention. Can you administer medication or provide training and grooming? Yes, absolutely! If your dog needs medication, training support, or grooming during their stay, just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. How many dogs do you take care of at once? We keep our care small-scale to ensure every dog receives plenty of attention, supervision, and personalised care in a calm home environment. Depending on the dogs, their personalities, and compatibility, there may occasionally be other guest dogs staying with us. We always carefully assess whether dogs are a good match and prioritise a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for everyone. Do you offer social stays with other dogs? Yes, if suitable and beneficial for all dogs involved. We carefully assess each dog's personality, play style, and needs before introducing them to one another. Some dogs enjoy socialising and companionship, while others prefer a quieter experience. Our priority is always to create a calm, safe, and positive environment tailored to each individual dog. How long are the walks? Walks usually last 20 to 30 minutes, with an extra longer walk in the afternoon or evening. Of course, I’m happy to adjust based on your dog’s energy level and needs. How many walks do you offer each day? I provide 3 to 4 walks daily, but if your dog needs more activity or shorter breaks, we’ll tailor it to suit them perfectly. How much time do you spend with the dogs? Both my partner and I work from home full-time, so there’s always someone around to keep your dog company throughout the day. We don’t plan social outings during your dog’s stay, so their care and companionship are our full focus. How does dog care fit into your daily routine? Since we’re at home throughout the day, caring for your dog fits naturally into our everyday life. Your pup will feel part of the family with calm mornings, playful afternoons, and cozy evenings. What is your availability? We’re flexible and open on the dates marked as free in our schedule. Feel free to reach out for any special requests! Do you work from home? Yes, we work from home, which means your dog is never left alone and receives constant supervision and love. Can you supervise guest dogs 24/7? We provide around-the-clock care, although we prefer to keep our bedroom off-limits to guests for everyone’s comfort. Tell me about your home. Our cozy 95 sqm home has two floors and a small, fully fenced backyard where your dog can play safely. It’s a peaceful, welcoming space designed with your dog’s comfort in mind. Who else lives in the house? It’s just me and my partner here—no other pets—so your dog will have all our attention. Where can guest dogs sleep? Dogs are welcome to sleep in the living room or hallway outside the bedroom. We keep the bedroom private to maintain a calm sleeping area for everyone. Can you describe your backyard? Our small backyard is fully fenced and secure, with gates that close safely to keep your dog safe while they explore or relax outside. Do you offer transport for my dog? Yes, we understand that convenient drop-off and pick-up can make your life easier. We offer transport services for your dog subject to availability, the size of your dog, and the distance. There is a small additional surcharge. Just let us know your needs, and we’ll do our best to arrange a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend.
