    Description

    Hi there! We are a YUP Dutch couple living with our sweet dog Up, close to the centre of the vibrant city Utrecht (5min bike). We live in an 3 under 1 roof appartment on the ground level near the lovely Griftpark including a pet animal zoo. Utrecht has lovely canals and the Dom tower for example. Since our work requires us to be on location and travel abroad, we are looking for a pet sitter for Up between 7-24 November - or a part of it. Up is super sweet, easy walking, old hunting dog, cuddly at home, however also stressed being home alone too long. Are you looking for a cosy place to stay together with a dog, and explore Utrecht for bits and pieces? Contact us!
