M&D's Ditmas Park Pup Palace

Pet care experience

Hello! We're Dayna and Michael! Dayna is a social worker and native Brooklynite. Michael is a long-time pup parent who works in city government. We're one of those couples that stop to say hi to every dog in Prospect Park, and cry during the Sarah Mclachlan SPCA commercials. We're happy to offer our apartment for pup-sitting. Some of the benefits: - Good size 1 bedroom with plenty of room for puppy lounging and in a pet-friendly building/neighborhood - Experienced pup parents with tons of love to give; - Michael is a former first grade teacher (i.e. he knows how to handle little ones with both care and attention to behavior modification); - Your pup can expect 3+ walks/day; - Michael's mom runs a pet-sitting business in Santa Fe (he helps her when he visits), so he is very comfortable pet-sitting. Any other questions? Drop us a line! We look forward to meeting/caring for your pup!

Dayna and Michael took great care of my Zephyr, going out of their way to make sure my mind was at ease that Zephyr was in good hands. I look forward to booking with them again!

Dayna and Michael were great hosts to my active senior Jack Russell terrier. They handled her quirks and challenges without batting an eye. I received daily photos and updates - always a plus. They were thorough in asking questions beforehand, a sign of great dog knowledge. My dog seemed to love them; she came home happy and healthy...and almost reluctantly! ;)

Our stay was great! Michael and Dayna took great care of Haven and sent us plenty of pictures of her. They checked in before giving her special treats and they both had a genuine excitement about caring for her that reassured me that she would have a great time! Haven is already planning on going back!

Michael has looked after both my dog and cat in the past. I know when I leave my pets in his care they will be loved and spoiled. He is reliable and trustworthy and I would have him hang out with my pets any day!
