About DoggyDogFarm

We are a premium dog hotel on a cosy farm in Hollands-Kroon, where dogs spend their days running outside, playing with doggy friends, and being cared for by a loving, experienced, hands-on team of dog lovers

Our Story

DoggyDogFarm was founded in 2021 — but its philosophy runs deeper than a starting date.

What began with a simple act of helping a friend walk dogs quickly revealed something bigger. Not just a love for dogs — but a natural understanding of them.

As Keldt, our founder, spent more time with different dogs, something shifted. Owners didn’t just trust him to walk their dogs anymore. They started asking a different question:

“Can our dog stay with you?”

That question changed everything.

The first dogs stayed at the family farm in Hollands Kroon — not as guests in a kennel, but as part of a home. A pack. A natural environment where dogs could finally just… be dogs.

From that moment on, DoggyDogFarm grew organically into what it is today:

a high-end, pack-based dog hotel designed entirely around the true nature of dogs.

🌿 A place where dogs can truly be dogs

At DoggyDogFarm, dogs are not managed — they are understood.

Our philosophy is simple, yet often misunderstood:

Dogs thrive in structure, freedom, and a balanced pack.

Here, they spend their days outdoors — running, exploring, playing, and socialising in a natural environment. No cages, no artificial routines — just a rhythm that aligns with who they are.

At the same time, every dog is seen as an individual.
Different personalities. Different needs. Different boundaries.

And that is exactly where our expertise comes in.

🐾 Built on experience, not assumption

Over the years, Keldt has developed a strong ability to read dogs — their body language, their signals, their comfort levels.

Knowing when to guide.
When to step in.
And just as importantly — when to step back.

This understanding is the foundation of everything we do.

🤍 A team that truly lives this work

DoggyDogFarm is run by a dedicated team of experienced professionals who genuinely love what they do.

Certified, hands-on, and deeply involved — not just in care, but in understanding behaviour, group dynamics, and individual needs.

We don’t just “look after” dogs.

We create an environment where they feel safe, balanced, and at ease.

Because that’s what real care looks like.

Our Values

At DoggyDogFarm, everything we do is built around what dogs truly need to feel safe, happy, and relaxed.

Freedom in Nature

Most of our guests roam together as one happy pack, running and playing in over 3,000 m² of safely fenced fields, with quieter spaces for shy or sensitive doggies.

Every Dog Is an Individual

No two doggies are the same. We adapt play, rest and daily routine to each dog’s personality, energy and boundaries so they feel comfortable and truly seen.

Gentle, Positive Care

We handle every dog with calm voices, patience, and gentle guidance. Clear routines help them feel safe and relaxed, and if a dog gets overwhelmed, we adjust and give them extra support.

Safe & Professional Care

Our experienced, hands-on team splits the dogs in two big packs: the main pack and a calmer group for dogs who need a gentler pace, keeping a close eye on every dog’s well-being and sharing their farm holidays on Instagram.

Is DoggyDogFarm the Right Fit for Your Dog?

At DoggyDogFarm, every breed and every life stage is welcome - from bouncy puppies to steady adults and wise seniors, from social butterflies to doggies who are still learning to feel comfortable around others.

We’re a great match for doggies who:

need a safe, homely place to stay while their owners are away
come for daycare to socialise more, move more, and spend a full day outside having fun
are puppies who can benefit from learning how to be around other dogs in a guided, safe way
haven’t had much socialisation yet but are manageable in their behaviour and open to other dogs.

Most guests enjoy being part of our main pack outside, while shy or sensitive doggies can join our calmer group and enjoy a quieter time.

We do our best to welcome as many dogs as possible, but doggies who show serious aggression or can’t safely be in a group are unfortunately not the right fit for our hotel.
