Hi there and nice to meet you and your awesome pets!
My name is Dan and I'm a Canadian artist just moved to Berlin. I am living in a private house with a big fully fenced off backyard with a massive grassy garden! Maria, my roommate, has a small - medium sized mutt dog who loves other dogs. We welcome your dog to stay in our beautiful home, run around and play their hearts out with me in the yard and go on walks as well as there is the Königsheide forest park right by. For dog boarding, your dog will spend almost all the time with me, we can have an hour or more long walks twice a day in the forest area and when we are at home they can enjoy the backyard garden (see photos for what the space is like). Here there is a big living room, a big basement, and the backyard all which your pet is welcome to use. There are spaces in my room, the living room, and basement all for your dog to sleep.
For dog home visits I can offer three hours per visit or longer, if you would rather I take your dog for a walk at that time that is fine by me, whatever you would rather. For dog walks I offer 1.5 hours per walk. I'm available at all times (morning, afternoon, evening) as of now.
My biggest motivation is I absolutely adore animals. Ever since childhood, I've had a deep connection with animals, including gaining trust and respect naturally very quickly, especially with dogs, and simply love being around all creatures. I have a lot of experience dog walking and dog / cat / rabbit sitting in Germany, Canada and Australia. I can offer dog walking from your home or any amount of time pet sitting at our place. I have experience with all sizes and kinds of dogs, having grown up in Costa Rica and Canada, and taken care of dogs and cats on farms and in homes in many other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Israel, and Guatemala. I used to have two dogs in Costa Rica on a farm, where they could roam free, so we know the importance of dogs having room to have fun and explore and be dogs. I can also offer runs for your dog! We look forward to hearing from you!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Dan is a really good guy. He spent a lot of time with my cat and he never missed a single day of visit. Thank you for taking care of him, you'll be my first choice if I need a petsitter again in the future.
Dolores seemed to have a great time for a whole day. We got regular updates and pictures and everything just seemed fine. When we got back we saw they had established a good relationship. If I ever need a dog sitter again, I'll ask him first!
