Our dog wants a pup sleepover

We love spending time with our dog and finding him a buddy to hang out with - that's why we are offering dog-sitting to give your pup the best home away from home. Our GSD mix is very friendly to all dogs. He loves play dates and together we will make sure your pup has a great time here.

Lena was so sweet noodles acted like she’s his best friend from the moment he met her. He was having so much fun he was even holding himself back when I came to get him. Thank you!

Lena is the best, takes such good care of Darwin and always sends a lot of photos.

Lena & Jan were amazing! Digby felt right at home. They are so knowledgeable about dogs, and clearly love them so much. She was so communicative and shared photos throughout the day and very flexible and made sure Digby was comfortable as a more anxious dog. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking them again.

Another great stay for our dog. As always, they provided daily updates and of course Gatsby made our dog feel right at home

Zoey had an amazing time with Lena, Jan and Gatsby! I received many updates and photos while I was away, which was very reassuring. Zoey came back home happy, tired, and even better behaved/trained than when I dropped her off. Thank you!

If your dog is a couch potato I'm happy to take him/her for a stroll around the park. If your dog is more of an athlete, she/he could join me on my daily run. Our apartment is conveniently located between Union Square and Washington Square Park. Let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to hosting your pup!

A typical day

We can go on walks around the village, check out Washington Square Park and Union Square park. For an athelete, we could run together along the Hudson River and go hiking on the weekend!

Are they potty trained? Do they have fear of stairs? Where do they sleep at night? How do they get along with other dogs and people? What's your dog's activity level? Do you think they will be interested in going hiking with us? Are they comfortable being left alone if I have to leave the apartment for a couple of hours?
