We have used Myle several times now to watch our dog Frankie and are very pleased. Frankie fits right in with her home environment and gets along well with her dogs. She spends a lot of time playing tug and fetch with him and takes him out for many walks. Frankie is well cared for and Myle posts lots of pictures of him to keep our mind at ease. We highly recommend Myle!!!

Travis and Danielle were awesome! We booked a little last minute, and had some slight changes to our pick-up times. Our senior pup was placed on meds earlier in the week and they were perfectly ok with his crazier med schedule. They uploaded photos of happy pups and kept us updated through the journey, were also very accommodating to making sure our dogs stayed where they felt most comfortable. I’m so grateful for finding them and would 10/10 recommend! Our dogs came home happy and tired.

I’m always nervous about leaving my pups with someone new. Nathan within a few hours was already sending me an update. This made me feel much better.

About: We love dogs and your little one will receive lots of love and one on one attention as we welcome him or her into our home. Our little Ronnie loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. We don't have a fenced in yard, which means we will always be playing with and alongside your dog keeping him or her safe and happy and comfortable. We love to walk your dog also so he or she will get plenty of potty breaks and time to smell and get to know our neighborhood! We only care for one dog at a time, besides our own little guy Ronnie... so the two will become best friends! Faye is a full-time stay at home dog mom and my husband Rob helps take over dog care responsibilities after and before he goes to work. We make it a team effort so your dog will always have his or her needs met and get maximum love and attention. Safety comes first with your pet. We have a home that is safe and perfect for your little dog. We will welcome them into our family and treat them gently and with compassion... realizing that it's tough being away from your owners for a few days. We will love your puppy as much as we love our own Ronnie!

Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!

My dog Dash loves going over to Rachel’s house to play with her dogs and of course to go see Rachel! She always makes sure that Dash gets enough play time and goes on plenty of walks. Dash also loves car rides and gets to tag along whenever she has quick errands to run, and he often gets spoiled with pup cups through the Starbucks drive-thru. With my permission and built trust, I have allowed her to take him anywhere to run errands, visit friends, and family. Thank you so much Rachel for taking care of Dash!

Shawna and her partner, Hannah, did an amazing job watching my dogs! They drove to pick them up/drop them off and kept them at their house over a long weekend. I have a senior rescue dog who can be skeptical of new people, but he warmed right up to Shawna and Hannah. He enjoyed all the cuddles, special toys, and looking out their big windows! I also have an 8 month old puppy who made herself right at home. Shawna and Hannah were super understanding of all my pups’ quirks and made them feel so loved with walks, treats, and lots of opportunities for cuddles. I received several pictures and videos each day. Shawna and Hannah responded super quick to any messages I sent and were attentive to all of our needs! I highly recommend booking with Shawna!!

Adela was wonderful with our boys. She communicated often, sent photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was very calm and caring when one of them seemed to have caught a bug. We felt horrible about it, but she assured it was ok and he was getting better. Thank you Adela!

We had the best experience with Trish! She watched our two goldendoodles for two weeks while we were away. She sent several photo updates everyday - of them getting snuggles, playing fetch in their backyard, getting yummy homemade treats - which showed that she was taking such great care of our pups. Trish even brushed our dogs routinely which we didn’t ask her to do! She was so warm, welcoming, responsive, and trustworthy from the first message to the final pickup. She clearly adores dogs, well definitely book her again and we would strongly recommend her to anyone!

Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.
