“I recently had to go out of town on a last minute business trip and was so happy to find Sophia through DogVacay. Sophia was able to accommodate a short notice meet-and-greet, and gladly hosted my dog starting the next day. I got plenty of pictures and updates during my trip to know that my dog was in great hands, doing well, and enjoying her time with some new friends. Sophia even managed to find something my fussy-eating pup enjoys. I will definitely be coming back to Sophia in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover for an overnight stay, and Ren was so great with our dog, Reggie! He booked us on short notice with an early morning arrival, and we appreciated it so much. We loved the pictures of Reggie that we got throughout his stay; they really put us at ease. We would definitely book again!”
“Mindy took the time for a meet & greet with my dog and was flexible with my schedule. It was a positive experience for my dog and I recommend her for dog sitting!”
“When I first learned about my business trip, I thought it would be best to cancel since I hadn’t boarded my dog in a while, and he gets really nervous when meeting new people. But from the moment we arrived, I knew I had made the right choice with Christina. She warmly welcomed us and there was so much for Ziggy to see and do that he couldn’t wait to start exploring. And off he went! Christina was incredibly responsive to my request and sent all the details I needed for boarding. She communicated often and kept me updated with photos, and videos of my pup so I wouldn’t worry. Ziggy absolutely loved his time with Christina because she spoiled him rotten and treated him just like one of her own! He was super comfortable there, and with all the excitement on the farm, I wasn’t sure he was going to want to come back home with me. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely reach out for the next trip that I can’t take my pup with me.”
“Gail treated our dog like he is her’s. She gave updates with pictures and videos regularly. Our dog looked like he had a good time! Gail is super friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book her again in the future. 10 out of 10, 5 stars!!!”
“Yuhui is always amazing with Jax! We will continue to book with her anytime we need a dog sitter! She’s kind, patient, and always responsive!”
“Khushboo was amazing! She sent plenty of photos to update us about Kholby. Also she communicated constantly. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she interacted with Kholby so nicely. I felt at ease leaving him for the weekend.”
“Evvery was wonderful! I had an out of town wedding and Evvery kept us updated with photos and videos. Our dog Z was well cared for. Thank you Evvery. ❤️”
“This was our first visit—and the first time my dog Kenzie has ever been boarded with Jingming. Jingming was absolutely wonderful. She sent regular updates and photos, letting me know Kenzie was doing well, which truly helped put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make both me and Kenzie feel comfortable during our time apart. Kenzie can be a handful, especially since she’s blind, but Jingming made sure she stayed on her routine, ate well, and felt at home. She even used a camera so she could check in and see how Kenzie was doing, including how she slept she forwards them to me. Our flight was unexpectedly delayed, I reached out to see if she could keep Kenzie for one more day—and without hesitation, she said yes. That flexibility and kindness meant so much. I’m so grateful for the care, patience, and thoughtfulness Jingming showed. I highly recommend her and will absolutely go back to her again!”
“Louis had such a fun time with Rachael and her dogs! I got lots of videos of them playing. She was very accommodating and responsive. Will book again!!”
“This is the second time I've used Nithya for my dog Millie. I was a little nervous the first time because Millie is only about 20 pounds, and Koda is a big Husky, but, true to Nithya's profile, Koda is very well behaved. Now there is also Snowy who is also very friendly. I think Millie and Snowy had fun together, and Koda made sure they were behaving themselves. Nithya was great at keeping me informed about how Millie was doing. Millie is a snuggler, and, thankfully Nithya let her snuggle as much as she wanted. I am grateful to have found Nithya (and Koda and now Snowy).”
“Woyni went above & beyond to make our two pups feel at home and well taken care of while we were out of town. She accommodated our challenging schedule and responded to all of our messages quickly. Thank you so much for keeping our girls happy. We would highly recommend you!”
“While we were a bit apprehensive about leaving Vinny with a stranger, no such feelings exist any longer concerning Lina. It is obvious that Lina loves dogs! Over the nearly three weeks Vinny was there, Lina took pictures daily and forwarded dozens of those to us so we could see how he was doing. He was introduced to other dogs about his size and age who turned out to be great play pals, and he was obviously having a great time! There were also many pictures of Vinny getting a lot of TLC. We hope to use Lina for taking care of Vinny again, and highly recommend her for anyone needing someone needing a temporary home for their furry companion.”
“Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Wendie! She took such wonderful care of our Dalmatian, Mavis, while we were away. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew Mavis was in great hands. Wendie’s dog, Asha, was the perfect playmate—those two became instant best friends and spent their days playing, cuddling, and enjoying every minute together. Wendie kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made it so easy to relax knowing Mavis was happy and loved. When it was time to pick her up, Mavis didn’t want to leave! We’re so grateful to have found Wendie and can’t recommend her enough. She’s warm, attentive, and truly treats your dog like family. Mavis is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jill was an amazing dog-sitter for Bean! She sent so many pictures and videos of Bean, and Bean was always looking so happy playing with Jill’s 2 dogs and running around in the backyard. Thank you, Jill!”
“Charlie had a wonderful stay with Pam and her daughter. They made him feel at home and we will use Pam any time that we cannot bring him with us. Highly recommend!”
“THANKS SO MUCH FOR CARING FOR LILO LIKE SHE WAS YOURS. You are so kind and professional. LILO enjoyed the long walks and late cuddles. She can’t wait to see you again 😏You have a gift with animals 👏”
“My hyperactive and anxious pup had the BEST time with Varsha, and we just picked her up happy and healthy after her very first boarding experience. She followed all our instructions and even gave us tips on getting Kida to eat when she's picky. The meet and greet was thorough and reassuring, and this is the perfect home for me to leave my baby girl in. She did great, and I can't thank Varsha and her family enough for spoiling my little handful!”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my little girl! I felt completely at ease being away because she truly put her heart and soul into the visit. Will definitely be bringing my girl back for another stay as she had SO much fun and received SO much love!”
“Kelly is the world's greatest! She gave us lots of updates on Grizzly and tons of pictures! In all the pics he's either smiling, playing, or cuddling. We know he's in the best hands with Kelly and we are so grateful for her!”

Bianca does a fabulous job with our dog! Lots of walks and tons of communication with pictures each day. We’re already repeat clients and plan to continue using her services.
Lorenzo was a great overnight dog sitter for my 1 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. He has two other small dogs so he had plenty companions, plus it was great price and communication was good.
Archie had a great stay with Mindy! He enjoyed her awesome backyard and the company of the other pups. We’d love to have him stay with Mindy again.
I could tell from the first time we met that Gena loved the dogs she cares for. This was the first overnight for our 8 mo old pup but I felt comfortable leaving her with Gena. Gena sent me updates and pics through the day. I will definitely use her again.
Khushboo is a dog loving care giver. We were fortunate to have her take care of Chewy. Thank you for a great experience
They love her. She’s very nice. She took care both of my dog very good and send me pictures every day to update how my boys.
Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.
Rhea is the best dog sitter! She takes such wonderful care of my dog that he never wants to come home lol. I definitely recommend her! :)
I’m extremely satisfied with the amazing job they performed with my dog, Lolita! They sent pictures and videos daily, and they gave her medication, food and walks full of care! In the videos, it was very pleasant to hear relaxing music from the background! Lolita returned home very happy and calm! The communication with Rossie and Lorenzo was excellent, I would definitely book them again and I recommend them for any dog parents!
Kathy did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs, and they are a good bit of work! One dog is 14 months old, with never ending energy and curiosity. We adopted her 6 months ago, and she is working through anxiety. She was not anxious at all with Kathy! Kathy's granddaughter was with them for part of the week and we heard the two of them became fast friends and were inseparable. Our second dog is 13years old, much lower energy, a picky eater, has medicine that is a game to get her to take. Kathy was great with our old pup as well! She ate most meals, took all her medicine, and looked very content. Kathy sent pictures, videos and updates twice a day, so we knew how they were doing everyday. I highly recommend Kathy to take care of your pups and will ask Kathy to take care of our dogs if available the next time we are out of town.
Excellent host. They truly like pets. Their two pets and the wonderful yard, made our big boy's stay playful and worry free.
Wonderful dog sitters with excellent standard of care and high responsiveness! Our dog had a blast at Vinay and Seema’s home!
Loris was wonderful! If my Adam can speak, I am sure he's saying "when are ya'll goin on vacation again so I can stay with Loris and family, and dog friends (Leo and Bella). She would give us consistent updates with pictures. They would also go on walks and would take him and her dogs to her mom's where they have more room to play. Heck, he's taken more walks with Loris in the one week than with me the entire winter. She is a true dog lover. We will definitely be using her again next time for any dog sitting needs. We are 100% satisfied and happy clients.
Kathleen took amazingly good care of Toby. He enjoyed his stay with her, her family and her other small dogs. I appreciated the many pictures and updates that she sent us and I found them extremely reassuring. Of course, saying this, I recommend Kathleen without hesitation.
Carol was the best caregiver for our dogs. She sent updates with pictures everyday. She is detailed oriented and totally attentive to my dogs. I highly recommend Carol. Now we don’t have to worry about them while we are away.
