Ally & Michael

🗣️🇬🇧🇩🇪🇵🇱

We are Ally and Michael and we live in Frankfurt (Rödelheim) with our 4 year old female Havanese named Nola. We are a German-Canadian-Polish family. We have been dog owners for a combined 20 years and are experienced with dog sitting multiple small to medium dogs, which we have been doing in Germany for the last 8 years. We have a flexible work schedule and work from home so that one of us is always home. We speak English, German, and Polish and we are happy to learn some words in the languages our guests bark in 😁

What you can expect from us:

🐾 we offer dog boarding only (overnight stay) - doggy daycare (up to 12 hour stay morning to evening) occasionally available upon enquiry

🐾 we will typically have 1 guest dog with us

🐾 walks 3x a day (more or less frequently as required)

🐾 potty breaks on the terrace

🐾 play and exercise - more or less depending on the dogs needs, age, or limitations

🐾 feeding according to your instructions with exceptional care to avoid any cross-contamination. We can also administer oral medication.

🐾 positive enforcement and training - we believe that good behaviour deserves praise and are keen to ensure we help encourage any training efforts you make with your pup

🐾 we respect and enforce your house rules for your dog in our home e.g. if at home your dog is not allowed on furniture, they won’t be allowed on ours, if your dog sleeps on the bed, they can sleep on ours, etc. Note: due to allergens, we do not allow shedding dogs into the bed.

🐾 we will send you daily photos, videos, and updates through the stay

🪪 pet passport (required) - this ensures we have proof of vaccination and chipping but is also required in case of emergency situations
