Rosie and Mason are both very sweet pups! Both take meds but this was not a hassle in the least. What’s nice is that there were no tricks to getting them to take their medicine, it went right in their food and that was that. They ate it right up. Neither dog was super over the top about taking walks when I first arrived. After the first two days though they realized I loved taking them on walks and they both quickly leaned right into this and started looking forward to getting out and going. I work remotely so I was able to be with them all day. Occasionally Rosie would just start mouthy grumble barking at me for no “good” reason in the middle of a video call, but my colleagues loved her. And look, she’s 14 she can grumble and bark all she wants. This wasn’t over the top or anything either. The house is located within just a few minutes walk to a lovely park as well as Germantown Ave, where there’s plenty to eat, see, do. Quiet neighborhood, lovely neighborhoods, great dogs!
Geoff and I had a fabulously serein and relaxing time at Sandra and Mark's property. Despite the large number of animals in their eclectic menagerie, looking after them all was not difficult nor too time-consuming (under 1 hour per day between the two of us). And it was very pleasant to be surrounded by a pony, 2 alpacas and a flock of geese and ducks, all roaming free! The property sits on 10a of its own bushland but is only 20 minutes drive to Bateau Bay or Tuggerah for all the shopping needs, for which Sandra and Mark let us the use of a car. However we spent most of our time on the property, enjoying the pool, reading, cooking and relaxing keeping our outings to the bare minimum. We were accommodated in an independant small granny flat and also had access and use of the house main kitchen and lounge. However, as the granny flat was well equipped and comfortable, we mostly used the main house for preparing food for the animals and for cooking food and making jam with the superb oranges picked on the property .
My three days at Socks, the cat's apartment were short, but sweet, and not without some learnings. Let's start with the sweet: - Socks has excellent taste in music. I was only able to scratch the surface of his vinyl collection, but enjoyed everything I was able to listen to. Socks has an enviable setup complete with two turntables for real DJ-ing, and wall-mounted speakers. - Socks favors the minimalist lifestyle. This means you won't find a tv in his home. At first, I was daunted by this, but came to appreciate the simplicity. It has been a while since I just kicked back and listened to some tunes. It was quite nice to do so. - Socks himself has a pet cat named Misty. Misty is sweet as can be, though she doesn't seek out your affection. - You won't find yourself plagued by the typical noises of the city at Socks' place. It is nicely tucked away off the street and away from the building's other residents. And the learnings: - Socks is a disciplinarian. In Socks' home, there is only Socks' way of doing things. Socks is not shy to hiss, howl and swat the habit out of you if you make a mistake. Only experience can tell you what a mistake looks like, though. - Let's just say... Socks has a thing for feet. So make sure you wear your beat-around shoes in case he can't control his urges. - Before Socks' caretakers leave, make sure they show you where the Bactine is - just in case learnings 1 and 2 didn't sink in. - Real disc-jockeying is a super impressive skill! My boyfriend tried his hand with little success.
We feel really privileged that Gemma chose us to care for Teddy and Monty whilst they went on a family holiday over Easter… especially as this was our very first sit. We had an overlap on arrival where Gemma was able to show us round her beautiful home and introduced us to the boys who we immediately bonded with. Teddy and Monty are totally adorable, very tactile which is what we craved after losing our two Golden Retrievers not so long ago. After a really wet March a few of the immediate local walks were very waterlogged, but we put the boys in the car (who travelled brilliantly) and explored the area including most of the beautiful National Trust properties nearby. The purpose-built dog wash station in the utility room was ideal and the boys were very good at being cleaned and groomed. Gemma and Ben’s home is really comfortable and in a great location being just a short walk downhill into Marlow town centre. Marlow itself is a really lovely town and most of the shops and eateries are extremely dog friendly. Communication with Gemma was excellent before, during and after our sit. We had a great week and are missing the boys already. Big hugs to Monty and Teddy!
We really enjoyed a lovely time with Muze and Oliver. Muze is a georgeous girl with a lovely friendly soul. She loves her walks and cuddles. Oliver is a delight and love cuddles and attention. Erik is really lovely, he was very easy to communicate with, very accomodating, the house is very comfortable. We would love to Housesit again, and would highly recommend this sit to others
We have enjoyed our recent house/dog sit for Jeff & Mary. They were very informative, kind and easy to reach when it was necessary. We found Star & Frost to be exceptional charming dogs to care for. It is a pleasure to be with them. They really enjoy to be cuddled and played. They are extremely obedient and very easy. Always happy to see you and to receive you home. We loved our daily walks with Frost & Star along the beach. The family lives in a very nice and well located area of CPH with good access to public transport, the city and the airport. The home is big, comfortable and it has everything that is needed for a pleasant stay. Thanks to Jeff & Mary for entrusting us the care of your lovely pets and home. We recommend this house/dog sit to other dog lovers. --Cris & Tomas--

Avoid Mutt Manor! We took our dog Charlie to Mutt Manor in Bridgeville while we went out of town for a few days. On the third day, they called to say that Charlie had scratched his paw on a door at the facility. When Mutt Manor first reported this to us, we were led to believe that the injury was minor but that they thought it would be best to take him to the vet. However, when we subsequently talked to the vet and they provided us with photos of his injury before they stitched him, it was evident to us that his injury was not minor but rather a severe laceration requiring several stitches and would not heal easily. Mutt Manor did not contact us to take him to the vet until the day after his injury. As a result, he spent an entire day/night bleeding and free to pick on his injury which likely worsened the initial injury in the process. When we picked him up, he did not have his wound bandaged despite explicit instructions from the vet that it was very important that he stayed bandaged. We took him back to the vet and they had to reclose the wound with staples. At this point, I was very upset and I posted on this site asking for advice. It was only after this post that Mutt Manor called us. They told us it was Charlie’s fault that he had hurt himself and it was our vet’s fault the bandages came off because they must not have done it right, i.e., they put the blame on everyone except themselves. First of all, my dog never should have been placed in a situation where he could hurt himself like that. Second, every bandage that our vet put on our dog since then has stayed on perfectly so we can only assume that his initial bandage came off due to additional negligence on Mutt Manor’s part. Thirdly, Mutt Manor didn’t show any interest in how Charlie was recovering – we only heard from them after my post asking for advice. It took Charlie 3.5 weeks to recover from this injury. During this time, he was not allowed to go on walks and had to wear a cone the entire time. As you can imagine, this was very hard on Charlie, who is normally very active dog. We had to take Charlie to the vet every couple of days to get a clean bandage put on and ensure he was healing properly, and ended up paying over $1,300 in veterinarian bills. On April 18th, we sent Mutt Manor our veterinary bills and asked them to reimburse us. They did not respond. I feel we have a responsibility to warn our neighbors about this place and their treatment of Charlie. If it could happen to our baby Charlie, I feel like it could happen to your pet. I rate this business 0 stars and warn all of you to beware. There are plenty of other reputable dog boarders in our area to choose from. Avoid this one.
I can't say enough good things about The Dog Stop - Upper St. Clair! They are always so kind and accommodating, making the entire boarding process stress-free. One of the standout features for us is that they offer options for reactive …
Unlike the other reviews. We got no notice of the kennel cough and both my Sidney and Charley got extremely ill. The owner is an absolute you know what. We are now completely happy over at the pooch pit. Do yourself a favor don’t go to the dog stop
