Hi there, we are a family of 5: my wife and I, our kids (10 and 8) and our female Rhodesian Ridgeback Babi.

We live in a spacious apartment (145 sqm) in Prenzlauer Berg, right in front of a park with a nice dog area, and in the vicinity of two of the larger parks in the eastern part of central Berlin (VP Friedrichshain and VP Prenzlauer Berg). Generally speaking we allow dogs on the sofas, and there are a couple of large dog beds in the house. We try to not have them sleep in bed with us, but sometimes that depends more on the habits your dog has then on ours. We love puppies, but rather host only the once that are already potty trained (but don't worry, every dog misses every now and again...).

My wife and I are both dog people, having grown and always owned dogs of different sizes, races and personalities. We love all dogs and have a lot of experience dealing with them.

I work from home and so does my wife. This means the dogs we take care of are rarely left home alone.

Our Babi is 3 years old and is a perfect dog sitter. She is none dominant and extremely friendly. She enjoys playing with all dogs, be it at home or outside.

Since we anyway make at least 2 long walks a day, any dog staying with us is guaranteed to have a good time and get a lot of exercise. If you want your dog to go on runs- that also works, since both my wife and I run a few times a week, so you could also choose a pace and a distance for your dog :)

We are joining pawshake having done more than a few rounds of dog sitting for our friends and acquaintances, ranging from a couple of days and up to 10 weeks. We have come to the conclusion this is a great balance between having our one beloved dog and getting a second dog :) We would love to meet you and your dog and get to know each other before making any decisions.
