Lula's Lounge

Pet care experience

My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms!

I was nervous leaving my dog with a new person, but Dan was flexible and my dog took to him right away. Great experience!

Dan and Ayse watched our two French Bulldogs for 6 days and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them! They were so great with Bella and Lilly, from the ease of booking to keeping us updated along the way. They sent lots of pictures while we were gone and you could tell the dogs felt at home with them. So much so that when we picked them up I think they would have wanted to stay! Dan and Ayse even helped put moisturizing cream on Bella's nose, which tends to get very dry. Bella doesn't let just anyone do this, so you know she felt comfortable! We were very appreciative of their flexibility as well - we had flight delays on our vacation and they were very accommodating and offered to keep watching them in case we couldn't get home in time. They even met us after midnight so we could pick the dogs up, knowing how excited we were to see our babies! We'd definitely recommend them and they'll be our GO-TO next time we need a pet sitter. THANK YOU, Dan and Ayse so taking such great care of Bella and Lilly for us!

Dan was fantastic. He was able to take Freddie pretty last minute and Freddie took to him right away. We will definitely book with Dan again.

I was in a bind to find a dog sitter, then Dan appeared on Dog Vacay. He was very fast to respond, asked the appropriate questions, extremely friendly when meeting, and was familiar with "yorkie" mixes and smaller dogs. He was flexible for me to drop Stan off during his lunch break and pick up at 9pm after my flight. Stan came back with same behaviors, some advice from Dan on how to better socialize Stan with other dogs and other advice to give to future dog watchers. It was nice that there were no other dogs at Dan's and he was able to socialize him with his family and a party. I received a few photos during the time, it was not overwhelming and just right amount of status updates. I 100% plan to contact Dan for the next time I need a dog watcher!
