The vacation care

Would you like to go on vacation? Then your dog should have a great time too - like a second home, with us in Nürensdorf!

The dogs enjoy part of their time with us in the spacious house, where they find a quiet atmosphere and can interact with the other dogs. They share our everyday life and sleep in the dog room or living room, depending on their personality. Cleanliness is very important to us, which is why water bowls, for example, are cleaned and refilled daily.

I am Tiara, an older Golden Retriever lady. When my owners are traveling, Michelle takes care of me. She makes sure I feel comfortable and adapts to my needs. I have my own room when I need my peace and quiet, play with dogs, enjoy the outdoors and feel at home with her.

Are you interested in vacation care?

And so it goes on. The Buddy & Friends crew is looking forward to getting to know your darling! So that we can look after you and your dog in the best possible way, you can follow the following steps for admission.

  1. Fill out the registration form

    In order for Buddy & Friends to receive all the important information about you and your dog, we ask you to fill out the questionnaire below - Holiday care request.

  2. Contact me

    Buddy & Friends will contact you shortly after receiving and checking the questionnaire to discuss everything else and answer any questions you may have.

  3. First meeting

    If everything fits from both sides, you can, if desired, come by for a first personal meeting of 30 minutes.

  4. Free trial day

    Of course, the most important thing is communication between the dogs, which is why we offer a free trial day (or half day). The owners should be available during this time for questions or if the time should/must be shortened.

  5. Contract

    Now all parties could get to know each other. Before the first booking and for a well-communicated future, a contract is read through and signed together.
    Important: At this point Buddy & Friends needs photocopies of the vaccination card for the documentation . Please bring these with you or send them in advance by e-mail.

  6. Ready & Go!

    Now everything is ready. Buddy & Friends are looking forward to welcoming your darling!

    Thank you for your trust
