Joerg took great care of Coco during our vacation. He sent pictures and messages regularly and responded quickly to my questions. Coco enjoyed the daily walks to the park with Lizzy. Joerg was very flexible and accommodating to my days and pick up/drop off times. I'll definitely book him again to dogsit!

Joerg and Lake are excellent. Extremely accommodating and helpful. Always sent pictures during my dogs stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. Highly recommend!

My pups had a great time with Jeorg and Lizzie! Jeorg sent us plenty of picture updates. Before the booking Jeorg was open to letting us meet so that the dogs could see him before we left them with him for a week! My dogs are also high-energy and reactive, but Jeorg seems like he is no stranger to these types of pups. I’d definitely rebook with Jeorg if he’s available for the next time I am out of town!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a very walkable neighborhood near Senn high school, and take our dog Lizzie out several times a day. Our place is a split-level condo with a large deck, so there is plenty of room to to give your pooch their own space if they need it.

Pets

A typical day

In the warmer months we go to the dog park daily, either at Foster Beach or Senn High School. We can take your dog there and depending on your preferences have them join the fun or watch from the sidelines. Another fun destination for us is Lickity Split on N. Broadway to get ice cream for us and a puppyccino for the pooches.
