Dog boarding · Amsterdam
Looking for dog boarding near Amsterdam?
We’re based in Haarlem — half an hour or less from most Amsterdam neighbourhoods. Small-scale home boarding without kennels. And if it’s easier for you, we can pick up and drop off your dog.
We are Melisa & Emre
Not a boarding house — a real home away from home
We’re a dog-obsessed couple from Haarlem. Every dog that stays with us is treated as if they were our own — no mass boarding, no rotating staff, just calm, trust and genuine attention.
Your dog lives alongside us: between the sofa and the garden, with regular walks, their own quiet spot and the routine they’re used to. Because we only take a handful at a time, we truly get to know each dog — their personality, their pace and what makes them feel at ease.
For owners from Amsterdam, we’re half an hour away or less, and anyone who’d rather not drive can leave the transport to us. But what matters most is what your dog finds here: a safe, homely place instead of a cage.

A warm home away from home, a short drive away
At Paw Suite Haarlem, everything revolves around personal attention, safety and a home-like warmth.
One-on-one care
We only take a handful of dogs at a time. That way your dog gets our full attention — from cuddles to walks.
Pickup & drop-off service
No time or inclination to drive? We’ll pick your dog up in Amsterdam and bring them safely home after the stay.
No kennels
No cages or crates. Your dog lives alongside us in a calm, soft atmosphere — right between the sofa and the garden.
Frequent updates
You stay connected with photos, videos and short updates, so you can enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind.
Tailored routines
Food, medication, sleeping spots and walking pace — we adapt everything to your dog’s own habits.
Experience with every personality
From shy rescue dogs to bouncy puppies and laid-back seniors — we help every dog feel at ease.
What a day looks like
Your dog’s routine, not ours
At a large boarding facility, everything revolves around the house schedule. With us, it revolves around your dog. The day starts calmly with a walk in the green surroundings of Haarlem, followed by time to play, explore and lounge in their own spot.
We stick to the habits from home: the same meal times, the same walking pace, medication at the right moment and the sleeping spot your dog feels comfortable with. No overstimulation, no unsettledness — just a familiar, predictable day.
- ✓ Multiple walks per day, matched to age and energy level
- ✓ Food and medication exactly as you specify
- ✓ Their own quiet sleeping spot — no crate or cage
- ✓ Regular photos and short updates via the app
