Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Erin was a great pet sitter who took such good care of little Chino. She was very reliable, kept us up to date with videos/pictures, looked after our home and kept it neat and tidy. She even left a thoughtful gift upon our return and was flexible with our travel plans. We would definitely recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter!
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
Lyndsey and Jordan were wonderful pet sitters and house guests. They kept us informed of how our pets were doing and went above and beyond to care for them. We felt entirely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their hands and arrived home to find everything tidy and the pets well cared for. We would absolutely have them sit again if the need arose.
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!

Extremely professional and customer-oriented (e.g., charging mechanisms with flexible booking options, seamless communication over What’sApp). My dog loves when we arrive at the place and starts wagging her tail as we walk towards the HuTa. Thank you!
Melanie and Kevin are very nice and helpful, they have been taking care of our dog for over a year. We can say that our Nina is under good care with responsible, knowledgeable and empathetic people who respond to the dogs individually and integrate them into the group. They have given us recommendations to improve certain behaviors with our dog for which we are very grateful. What we also likes is that when we pick up Nina from daycare or boarding, they tell us how she did during the day/days and she always seems to have a good time. Thanks to everyone in Hundebetreuung Ruschenburg for taking care of our lovely Nina!
Our 2y cockapoo has been fantastically cared for by Hundebetreuung Ruschenberg for almost a year now. Having moved a very social dog from a very sociable life with lots of freedom in the English countryside to a city in Germany lacking all of his familiar faces, finding somewhere new for him to engage with other dogs (and humans!) was nerve-wracking for us all. However, Melanie & Kevin were nothing but welcoming, our dog LOVES his days there - and drags us down the road with excitement to arrive - and it is fantastic piece of mind to even go away for a few days and leave him with them overnight, knowing that he’ll be cared for and interacted with to such a positive, high standard. They are very flexible with our variable schedule and in particular, helped me out in a recent emergency by taking our dog for the night last minute - for which I’ll be always grateful. Our dog will definitely miss HR when we return to England next year and I know that we will too! Thanks guys, as always- you’re the best.
If you have a reactive dog and looking for a calm, open and honest trainer you have come to the right place. I love my dog. He is the sweetest friendliest thing, but his reactivity prevented us from most normal life activities. Even going for a simple walk was quite a challenge with him, we have tried other dog schools but unfortunately it wasn't the right approach for my sweet Golden retriever. I would recommend Melanie and Kevin again and again. We just had one session at our home and his behaviour has been analyzed quickly! I was schocked how my dog respects his trainer. We have been using Kevin's tips for 3 days now and walking with my dog now is full of joy and not a challenge anymore and most importantly i can walk around my home without having my dog following me everywhere :) My dog is also going regulary to their daycare and come home tired and happy!
I am overjoyed that Ruschenburg dog day care exists. It's a wonderful feeling that I can give my dog there and I can be sure that she is in very good hands there. Melanie, Kevin and Leonie are doing a fantastic job! I have also had very good experiences with individual training at home because it works if you do it exactly as you are told and you continually stay on the ball. HuTa Ruschenburg is the best thing that could have happened to us. It is absolutely recommended! Thank you very much for everything!
Very competent and reliable dog care! Any questions will be answered happily and, above all, professionally. Our dog really enjoys going to Ruschenburg, so we can give her there with a clear conscience! Thank you for existing!
Both are very good and competent dog trainers who understand their work. They helped me a lot with my dogs, so that communication between me and my current dog works better. I can only recommend both of them.
Our dog has been going to the dog walking service at Ruschenburg dog care for about a year and a half now and has also been to the HuTa a few times. Dealing with the dogs there is simply great, they are well exercised and have social contact with other dogs under professional care. You are always kept up to date on your dog's welfare, which was very important to me. Even if the dog walking service or HuTa remain closed due to vacation (which is... Incidentally, this is very rare!), you will be informed about it in good time so that you can replan accordingly. The “human” interaction with Melanie and Kevin is always absolutely uncomplicated and warm. We and our dog are completely satisfied and can only recommend Ruschenburg dog care!
Very friendly and competent owners. Dealing with the animals and their owners is professional and confident. In addition to the dog walking service and dog care, the trained dog trainers also offer various training courses for dogs and people. Top price-performance ratio. Simply great, thank you.
Great professional dog care. The only place where I can leave my dog without having to worry. It's nice that you exist! An enrichment for all dog owners.
For years my dog Barko was picked up for a walk by Ms. Apfelstädt. She does a great job! Very reliable, friendly and competent! Thank you for that
Unfortunately, visits to see the place are only possible on weekends and only when there are few dogs on site. Does she have something to hide? Otherwise I don't know her. Unfortunately I couldn't find an appointment from Monday to Friday within 4 weeks. (I could have always during those days)
Absolutely top. Our Abby is always really looking forward to Mrs. Apfelstädt!
Best Huta in the Düsseldorf area. Our dogs are in the best hands at Apfelstädt.
It doesn't get any better. Heidi loves Ms. Apfelstädt 😍 …
Experienced professional dog care with heart
