Let me introduce you to my services :)
About LOGEREN/BOARDING (also available for cats):
We've recently moved to Gronau in DE, so for Nederlands customers there is an EU pet passport needed.
We have a dedicated guest room for your pet for feeding and resting, as seen in the photos. It creates a safe space where we place his/her bed, blankets, feeding bowls, toys, and snacks/brainwork toys with treats to minimize stress. If our guest can sleep alone, this is his personal bedroom; if not, I'm there for emotional support during the night. During the day, there is a garden "on demand" for a quick pee or play/digging, in addition to regular walks.

We also have a safety gate in the hallway, splitting our house in half. If your dog/cat doesn't feel comfortable among other animals or needs some time in private, it will prevent direct contact and allow safe switching.

If your dog gets along with my dog Noxi (which we test on at least one walk together before inviting you home), then the gate is open most of the time. We close it only for feeding time and moments when I need to go out (discussed individually). Walks are adjusted to your dog's needs, either together with my dog or solo. If there is no problem with car traveling, we'll explore nature.

About UITLAATSERVICE/WALKS:
I always adjust the intensity of the walk to the individual needs of my client. Some dogs need a quiet walk with a lot of sniffing, while others will be happy to engage in play, running, or simple exercises. :) After prior arrangement and longer cooperation, it is possible to introduce elements of training, e.g., calmly passing other dogs/pedestrians/cyclists, reaction to recall, heelwork. I base my work on the relationship with the dog, I do not use aversive methods, I do not walk dogs on thin slip collar, of course I can help with matching the appropriate collar/harness for your dog to feel comfortable :)

About DAGOPVANG/DAYCARE
There are two options - at my place and at yours.
1. Daycare at my place - exceptional for Puppies or individual cases, not possible long-term.
2. Taking daytime care at the place where the dog (or other animal) lives. If your furry companion has separation anxiety (which is mostly a reason), then by my visits, we can reduce stress little by little by caring about a healthy mental state and extending 'alone time' slowly, not increasing it by switching places twice a day. Also, we can create a plan to work with his/her fears little by little in a safe environment. As a behavioral consultant, I have experience and knowledge to arrange a good therapy plan (full consultation includes additional cost, but solving a problem is worth it, right? ;) )


About ME ;)
As a petsitter, I guarantee you quality time with your dog/cat/rabbit/budgie. I had the opportunity to assist in running a dog kindergarten and classes for companion dogs. I have experience in petsitting dogs, cats, rodents, and exotic species both at home and at the owner's home. I also provide behavioral consultations and can apply any medication if needed. I live with Noxi, a lovely medium-sized bitch who enjoys the company of dogs and cats, respecting their space and signals. I can't say that she is friendly to every other dog, but if they ‘click’ with each other, she claims him as a part of her team ;)

Want to know a bit more? I studied animal behavior for 5 years at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin city. Later, I also built veterinary technician and dog trainer skills. I am constantly gaining wider competencies, participating in kyno conferences, short courses, and workshops like "Aggression in dogs" with Amber Batson, "Emotions and motivations" with Alexa Capra, and webinars about dogs' communication with Michele Minunno. I ran a temporary home for dogs and other companion animals, helping with adoption procedures. I gained a lot of experience dealing with many dogs, some of them had kinds of behavioral issues, but as a beh/dog trainer, I can say I speak their language ;) In a positive, kind, and respectful way, of course.

I also had the opportunity to deal with various exotic species, mainly due to work as an animal keeper at the ZOO. I felt fulfilled looking after all kinds of animals, introducing a few changes, at least slightly improving the welfare of my pupils, and doing my best to make their life better. For financial reasons, after forming a schedule for 2024, I will have part-time work, conducting behavioral consultations and companion animal care, as well as online classes in the meantime.

Feel free to make a booking or contact me :)
I will be very pleased to meet you and your pet,
See you soon,
Aleksandra :)
