Our main objective is the provision of the right care and service for all of our four-legged clients. In order for this to achieve it is of paramount importance to find the most suitable and reliable colleagues, since we all know well, that entrusting someone with our dearest friend often causes anxiety and leaves us in distrust.
Our services are carried out by professionals having many years of experience in this specific field of expertise, being dog-keepers themselves – or maybe even more than that, dogs being the centre of their everyday lives, their passion. Our goal is to convey this love and affection to your dog too.
Love and affection is one aspect though, the other being special requests by the dog owners. Be it an individual training course or discipline to be learned, behavioural anomalies to be treated or health to be preserved, our well-prepared and up-to-date colleagues will soon after having thoroughly investigated the situation work out the most suitable service.
Along with the professional content, flexibility is another very important issue. As our circle of clients comprises everything from the elderly with difficulties to move all the way to busy businesspeople or diplomats often spending weeks abroad, we try to organize our services in a flexible way regarding time, range of service and the financials.
