Pension conditions

Upon arrival, all of the dog's belongings are placed in a welcome box provided for this purpose. His owners choose the location of their choice in the house to install his basket and give the full payment as well as the signed and completed care contract to his nanny (this is delivered at the end of the meeting walk, if it was successful). Nanny agrees to respect the dog's habits indicated in the care contract and the recommendations of his owners as best as possible.

The items to bring for a period of care are: basket, bowl, food, treats, comforter (for example: a T-shirt worn by his owners to reassure him when he misses them), health record, medication, leash, harness, collar, toys, diapers, etc.

His nanny will always keep an eye on him when she is there to ensure his safety. Usually, when she is away (however rare they may be), her dogs stay outside, where they can still find shelter, protect themselves from the cold/heat and have comfort in the kennel as well as in the outbuilding that connects the yard in front of the house to the park at the back.

Every day, the nanny walks the dog, adapting the duration to his age and physical abilities. If the dog needs it, the nanny has a stroller to relieve his legs during walks. Usually, she can do one or two walks per day, ranging from 20 minutes to more than 2 hours, depending on the weather and the time available; and all this, in a natural setting between fields and forests, with many different routes and little or no traffic given the geographical location of the pension. Swimming in the river may even be possible on sunny days.

Of course, she will take time for cuddles, hugs and daily play so that your dog feels at his best. She can even teach him fun tricks and why not take time to try to help him progress in his bad habits or little everyday misdeeds. Dog will be able to go inside and outside on request when she is there. He will always be in the company of Viking and Pia, the two permanent dogs of the house; unless there is the slightest risk of a fight.

If this were to be the case, or in the event of untimely barking, there is a risk of escape or attack by neighbouring animals (chickens/sheep/cows/game). A makeshift hut has been provided to secure it, preserve the calm of the hamlet and avoid any problems with the neighbours.

At the nanny's, dogs are allowed on the couch, provided they are clean (literally and figuratively) of course. On the other hand, the bed is strictly forbidden! The cat lives outside (except on winter nights) and is used to being chased by the nanny's dogs.

If there is a health emergency, the nanny will immediately contact her owners to inform them and she will take the dog to her usual veterinarian, if it is close enough; if necessary, to the declared health veterinarian of the pension. The owners will then have to reimburse the nanny for the veterinary costs incurred.
