Welcome to the Dog Hotel!. We are a family in Icking, about 20K south
of
Munich,
and we have a home-based dog sitting business. We live in the
Bavarian countryside surrounded by fields and woods, and our guest dogs
live with us in our home. We started by keeping our friend's dogs when
they were traveling, and liked having the pooches around so much that
we decided to open a "hotel" as an alternative for those who, like us,
do not want their dog to stay in a kennel.
The sleeping dog on the right lives here permanently, and we only keep
one or two
additional dogs at a time. There are NO cages here, and we encourage
the dogs to play and have a good time
during their stay! We have a large, fenced-in back yard (1300 sq.
meters), so they
are free to go in and out as they like.
We are at home
most of the time when dogs are here, so they have almost
constant company. We walk the dogs a minimum of twice a day, and will
follow owner's
instructions as to whether or not the
dog needs to be on a leash, or can run freely in the fields or woods.
If your dog likes to swim, we
are happy to take them to the nearby river for a summer dip. We talk to
and pet your dog all day, and we strive to make your dog's stay an
enjoyable and safe experience.
We take only
dogs who are housebroken and
not aggressive. They must be able to get along with our dog (a very
friendly guy), and they must be safe around children. We are
otherwise easygoing dog lovers, and we have no preference as to young
or old. We do like to meet you and your dog ahead of your dog's stay so
that
you can "scope out" the situation here, and so that your dog can
get to know us and our dog ahead of time. We
charge 20 Euros/day and
do ask that owners bring the dog's food, as we prefer not to
change the dog's diet. We are happy for you to
bring your dog's bed, and anything else he or she might like to have to
make the stay here more comfortable. In the interest of protecting the
health of all the dogs who stay with us, we must have proof of
vaccinations including kennel cough (zwingerhusten). Also, in the
interest of protection for the small dogs who are here, we do not take
fighting dogs or aggressive breeds. As of 2008 we are also no longer
taking un-castrated males. Sorry for the inconvenience but we have too
many females in the area in heat and too many issues surrounding this
problem.
