Mike and Una are two of the nicest, most generous people I have had the pleasure of meeting through Trustedhousesitters, and their little Yorkie, Mia, is an absolute delight! Mike is very helpful and attentive and quickly responds to communication. He and his wife, Una, also took the time to meet me in person and go over everything with me, and were kind enough to leave me not only recommendations for the neighborhood, but also small gifts and, after learning I was vegan, delicious vegan treats -- such a touching surprise! Their apartment is well-located in Peckham and comes with a large and relaxing garden, where I was able to spend lots of time with Mia. She is very well-behaved and easy to care for, and she is so affectionate -- she was always trailing after me or curling up in my lap, which melted my heart! In fact, the only difficult thing about this wonderful sit was saying good bye to Mia. I loved housesitting for Mike and Una, and I very much hope to have the opportunity to return to spend more time with sweet little Mia in the future!
We couldn't have imagined a better experience! Tobias gave us all the necessary instructions so that everything was perfect and it was! Ebi and Oreo have been the best companions we have been able to have during these three weeks.
I had an amazing time with Mashka! She is super sweet and kept me company throughout my stay. Maskha was really easy to care for and an absolute sweetheart! I'm really going to miss her <3 The house was really nice, and super clean. The location is also great with just a 20 minute train ride to Copenhagen and a large park right behind the house which was perfect for walks. Ligia and Oleg was great hosts, and made me feel at home straight away. They were also kind enough to give me a travel card that I could use while I was there. They also drove me into town after my stay, which I really appreciated :) I would love to housesit again in the future! Great experience all around!
We had a lovely time in Kathryn & Charles' rambling Victorian house with Uisge & Toby whilst they were away. The variety of walks from the front door meant we didn't need to use the car at all during our stay. Toby has some health issues, but for a 15 year old was still quite spritely, and even on the longer & steeper walks seemed to have boundless energy and was a great companion to Uisge. The village itself is one of the prettiest in Scotland, with a lovely old pub, a small supermarket and a lovely tea room. In all, a very pleasant few days!!
I absolutely loved sitting for Val and Costa, and their beloved pets. Cooper and Oliver are sweet, loving, playful and delightful. They gave me so much affection, it was very comforting as a solo traveller. You'll find yourself very attached to them quite quickly. Val was always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have had, and the location of their home was excellent, with numerous amenities nearby and ample public transit. I would love the opportunity to sit for Val and Costa again!
Had a lovely time looking after Minxi, the home is lovely and everything was as expected:) would recommend

You may have to get on their waiting list, but The Doghouse is well worth it. Their huge play area is perfect for active play, especially important for high energy dogs like ours. He comes home tired! We get a report, at pick-up, of who he played with, what he did, any behavior issues. Our rat terrier had a problem with playing too rough. They brought in a trainer to teach him to read and respect other dog's signals. They also taught him to walk off leash with a group of dogs. There is no end to the care and love they give each and every dog.
Our dog has been to other daycare’s, but none of them compare to the Doghouse. She pulls as hard a she can to the doors when we arrive and she loves handlers! Even though she can’t talk, I just know she would rate it 5 stars. She has made so many new dog friends and I would 11/10 recommended the Doghouse to anyone!!
We love The Doghouse so much! Our dog has been going there for 5+ years and every time he comes through the door he's greeted by name with excitement. He boarded there when we took a 2 week vacation and I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We're excited to start sending our puppy there in a month or so!
This has to be the absolute best place in the state for dog day care. Most of the day is outside, they play with similar size dogs. The best part, might be how excited the staff is to see your dog when you drop them off. Get on the waitlist - it’s worth it
Not very useful service anymore unless you have lots of money and time to jump through their many many entry hoops. It's more like an exclusive club than an actual beneficial service. I attempted to re-enroll my GSD after a few years away and the requirements just to interview the dog along with the wait-list were no go. They treated us like we were absolutely asking the impossible for the dog to have an (expensive) day care slot now & again and come back in a few months or never. The irony is my dog is actually* featured * in a picture on their website. But we were treated like nope, no room at the inn...get outta here stranger. They also tack on many many fees. They charge you to even to interview your dog to see if they might let it stay. The high overhead of the estate like premises probably has something to do with the high costs too.
As a former dog handler at a day care in MN, I really like this place. We've taken obedience classes here, boarded our dogs here, and bring them to day care. Every aspect has been great. They have 24 hour, on-site staff for boarders, and even take your dog home with them if they're stressed out while boarding. The different levels are great with so much property and the freedom it offers the dogs if they can handle it. (We'll get there one day with our dogs. Ha.) The walks they offer are an added bonus. One of our dogs is deaf and has a hard time understanding dog language, so we really appreciate the extra attention she gets when she goes to day care, since she has a hard time finding play buddies.
We've been doing training with Kim for the past year or so and it's completely changed my dog and i's relationship. We love the doghouse
I am disappointed in the level of care for my dog. I was impressed with the facility and the fact that they had so much room outdoors and had been to several other dog day cares. The Doghouse cost a little more than others and was further away from my home. I made the trip, just leaving earlier, and was willing to pay a little more. My very easy going and obedient dog was miserable. It poured rain all day and I learned that the dogs are left in the rain unless there is lightening. There is no place for them to get shelter. When I picked her up they reported that the handlers would not be giving her a bath because of the way she behaved when they tried to rinse her. Although I have taken her other places to get bathed and they have all reported how easy and sweet she was. I asked how she behaved, because I have not seen any negative behavior from her since I rescued her 9 months ago. All I was told is she was stressed. I pay for dog day care to receive positive benefits for my dog, not negative ones that stress her out. The "handlers" are not friendly to the dogs, they just seem to handle them. If a dog is stressed it doesn't take an expert to know you should talk to them in a soft voice and offer some reassurance. It is not worth the money for my sweet dog to have a bad experience and adverse affects. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Love working here. Awesome place, awesome people and even more awesome dogs!
Our lab loves this place!! We regularly use them for daycare, boarding, and have used their training facilities. Hudson loves to be outside so we love that he has all the room to run around and go on off leash walks! Most other daycares only offer a small enclosed outdoor space, so the large yard is a huge selling point for us. Hudson runs to the door and gets so excited every time we pull up. It's obvious the handlers love dogs and care about the dogs as if they are their own. We would recommend this place to anyone who's dog loves to play outside!
