Luxury Home Retreat

"Where every stay feels like a holiday for your dog - in the heart of beautiful Noorderplassen"

IMG_4306.jpeg

Welcome to an elevated, premium home-style dog boarding in the heart of Noorderplassen, Almere - an idyllic environment tailored for calm and confident dogs. Here, your dog enjoys personalised attention, beautiful natural surroundings and a stress-free escape while you're away. 

These tailor-made stays are for guardians who wish their companion to feel completely at ease, loved and relaxed in a calm, spacious home-away-from-home environment. 

At our home in peaceful Noorderplassen, your dog isn't just 'looked after' - they're welcomed as part of the family. With beautiful natural surroundings right on our doorstep - including woodland trails, large dog-friendly parks, canal paths, lakeside walks, and the wide open sand and water of Almere's natural beaches - each stay is an enriching retreat for your dog.

🐾 What Makes Our Home Stays Special

 

A Calm, Spacious Environment with Home Comforts

Your dog stays inside our large, welcoming home, free to relax in comfy spaces. We treat every guest as an individual and aim to replicate the comforts and routines your dog enjoys at home as closely as possible. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and can relax in whichever spot they feel most comfortable.

 

✨ Personalised One-to-One Attention 

We accept one dog at a time, so your dog receives undivided love, attention, and care throughout their stay. This makes it ideal for dogs who thrive on one-to-one interaction.

 

✨ Mentally Stimulating Activities

While formal training or behaviour therapy is not included during stays, we do offer fun engagement, such as:

•.   Continuation of known cues and maintenance of behaviour, by rewarding their skills and choices on walks and at home

•    Sniffari-style enrichment walks focusing on engaging with the environment 

•    Mind-work at home with Nina Ottosson puzzles, snuffle mats, slow feeders and scent work sessions

 

✨ Experienced Care

Your dog is cared for by a clinical animal behaviourist and dog trainer with nearly a decade's worth of professional experience. This ensures a deep understanding of your dog's needs, stress-free handling, and comfort-focused care.

 

✨ Routine Continuity & Personalised Care

We follow your dog’s usual feeding schedule, walk times and routines. We are also happy to administer regular medications when needed. Each board will be tailored to your dog's needs, where we can help or provide advice where possible regarding any nutritional, mobility or medication requirements.

Important Requirements for Each Stay

 

To ensure a safe and calm experience:

    •    We cannot accept dogs with known behavioural issues such as separation anxiety, overt reactivity or aggression toward people or other dogs, excessive barking at home or destructive tendencies

    •    Dogs must be comfortable being alone for short periods (max 2-3 hours in a given day, without signs of distress)

 

These requirements are because our home isn’t equipped for more intensive behaviour challenges. We are happy to offer behavioural assistance and advice (see our behaviour tab above).

 

 

Meet & Greet + Trial Stay

 

Before any booking, we offer:

✅ A free meet & greet  - at our home to give us a chance to connect and to best understand your dog’s needs.

✅ A 4-hour taster stay to ensure the fit is right for both your dog and us
