A small dog hotel with a big heart
Melvin Hundehotell is located on Nesøya in Asker and has room for 12 dogs. We are staffed around the clock and walk the dogs three times a day. We give every dog warmth and affection, so your dog feels safe, seen and well cared for while you are away.
Room for just 12 dogs
Who are we?
It is Ellie who welcomes you and your dog. To us, this is not just a job – it is our everyday life, our home and the thing we love most. That is why we have deliberately kept the hotel small: with a maximum of 12 dogs at a time, we get to know every single guest properly, from the gentle senior who wants the lap all to themselves, to the young dog who would happily play from morning to night.
We live and work on Nesøya, a small green island in Asker with quiet roads, patches of woodland and the sea close by. That gives us lovely walking routes in safe surroundings – and the dogs can clearly sense the calm here.
What a day with us looks like
The dogs are walked three times a day, and between walks there is time for play, rest and cuddles. We follow each dog's own pace: some want to burn off energy outdoors, others would rather lie close to us on the blanket. In the evening we wind down together, and because we are staffed around the clock, someone is always here – even in the middle of the night, if a dog needs a reassuring hand.

Safety in every detail
- We are present around the clock – the dogs are never alone.
- We stick to your dog's own routines for feeding and medication.
- All guests must be vaccinated (including against kennel cough), so everyone stays healthy.
- We are happy to send you a little update along the way, so you can relax on your trip.
The simple answer: your dog is seen
- Always someone who cares Round-the-clock staffing means there is always a person present who knows your dog – not just a camera. A quiet night with someone close by works wonders for a dog's sense of safety.
- Cuddles and comfort every day Three daily walks, play suited to your dog's temperament and calm evenings full of cuddles. Steady routines help dogs settle quickly – often by the very first evening.
- Personal care for every dog We note down everything you tell us about your dog – eating habits, favourite toys, what makes them uneasy – and follow it up every single day. Small group, big attention.
