Hoi!

We are Nick and Liliana, we live on an peaceful island on the border of Zaandam, we love all animals, as you can see in the picture, there's a fun "fauna" here already! But we miss having dogs around..

We decided to care for dogs mostly because we don't have our own pet at the moment, as we both travel sometimes to France and Brazil to visit our families.
Also, we thought it's a cool way to "test-drive" all types of doggies!
As for 'curriculum', we both have had dogs for as long as we have been alive:

Nick didn't have a dog in Amsterdam, as living in a small apartment didn't seem fair for the animals (small space); Also, being brought up in Spain and France, where the family dogs (mostly Setters) had lots of space, so moving to Zaandam made it again possible.

Lili also was brought up with dogs in Brazil, mostly rescue dogs, caring for them from a difficult life into a loving family.
So we have experience with crazy-time race dogs, but also fragile rescue and mutts of all kinds ;)

Since moving to 'ze island', we've taken a few pets from friends and it was always with regret that the doggies left the place..

.The island has 3 main buildings, and a big 'foresty garden' in the back..
.The dogs sleep in what we call the 'dawg-villa', as our friends have left their pet here before :)
.They have a fenced area for playing outside when it's sunny, otherwise they can be with us when we are working in the other 2 buildings, the main house and the studio. They are welcome anywhere as long as they are behaved ;)
.Walks are included in the price, at least once a day, for more or longer walks, we can arrange this as extra's. Extra's can include: inside only (the house), special diets, longer playtimes, etc..
.No aggressive/territorial dog, as they can pose problems with other dogs and our 'local fauna'. Females in heat depending on the other "roommates".

We prefer to first meet at a park and see how it clicks and the dogs behave with other dogs if possible. You can also visit us anytime to see the place of course!
We speak Dutch, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese in both human and dog language ;)

Hope to see you soon at the Pet-Island :)

Nick & Lili.
