Nominate the Region's Best Dog Sitter/Trainer
What's the best place to take your pooch for care?
Rufus is a cute pup, but you're tired of finding your shoes ripped up and covered in slobber. Or you have to go away for the weekend, and need a nice place for Max to stay. Which dog sitter/trainer do you depend on?
Patch is re-launching its Readers’ Choice program and we’re asking you, your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else to nominate the best dog trainer or sitter in the region.
We’ll accept nominations through July 9. After that, nominations will be closed and we’ll start the voting, so make sure to get in your favorites now.
All you need to do to nominate your favorite canine-caring business in the comments below. If you already see the business you want to nominate, make sure to add your comment about why it should be included; we may not be able to add all nominations to our poll and we want to make sure the top ones make it into the poll.
Thanks in advance for your participation.

I nominate Carol Millinghausen. I met Carol at Pet Smart in Willow Grove. She was knowledgeable and professional. She was able to help me with everything from dog behavior issues to dog supplies, grooming, and dog health advice. I could never have made it through that first year with a puppy without Carol.

I nominate Dawn the Pet Nanny. Both Dawn and Pat have been dedicating their lives to help rescue dogs for a very long time. They have brought their experience and dedication to taking care of the pets while the family is away. I wouldn't think twice about leaving my dog with either of them. I know that he would have the best care and I wouldn't have to worry. They are the best.

For us it's the Dog House. Jim treats every dog there as if he/she is his own. I think my dog Louie now looks forward to us going away so he can spend time with Jim and his pals! It is so nice to know that he is being looked after so lovingly.

I use the Doggie Daycare at Runaway Farm Vet Hospital in Pennsburg. My dog has a blast there and a veterinarian owns it. Cheaper than a sitter and my dog gets to play with his friends. They have pools and play time and they are happy and tired when they get home. No cages.

I am leaving a third recommendation for Julie Barnett's "Walk the Dog" service. She cares for our pup on an almost daily basis while we both work. She has also helped us so often when we've needed to be away from home. You can tell what good care she gives by how excited our dog is to see her !! Julie is the BEST !!
