Pet care experience

My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms!

Dan and his wife took exceptional care of our dog while we were away. They lovingly welcomed her into their home, took her on walks, played with her and gave her lots of love. They discovered she had developed a UTI, worked with her to keep her comfortable. We are very grateful for their care. And Lula their dog was sweet and friendly to our dog.

Dan and his wife were wonderful to our dog. Their home offers a fenced in outdoor area and they also walked our dog. They communicated updates and sent pictures. Their schedules were easy to work with, and they are overall warm and caring people. I wouldn't hesitate to have them board our dog again in the future.

Dan and Jana were phenomenal pet sitters! Their back yard is a perfect to run and play. They were consistent with updates and photos and were very easy to communicate with. Their dog Lula was great with our playful large dog and our more reserved small dog. They clearly have a lot of care for the dogs in their home, they even reached out to let us know our dog appeared to have an ear infection and were very helpful with applying medicine for her. We definitely plan to use their services again in the future.

Dan and Yanna are wonderful, dog-loving people who took great care of my 2 senior dogs. Their dog Lula is very friendly, and respected the fact that my dogs did not want to play. Dan sent regular updates, so I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing my dogs were happy and enjoying themselves, too! I hope to use them again next time I travel.
