“I knew right from the start that my dog would have an Awesome time while we were away! You can tell that Sam & Sarah love animals! They have a wonderful home with a secure & safe backyard. They live right by a walking trail and even took my dog jogging! They sent me daily pictures & comments which reassured me that my dog was having a good time while we were away! I know my dog, Hawkeye, will miss his two new best friends, Kinnick & Dexter! We will definitely be using Sam & Sarah again thru Dog Vacay! 100% Happy!”


“So thankful for Heather! This was my first time having to leave my dog Georgia, but Heather was so communicative, sent tons of updates and photos and put my nerves at ease. Georgia had a wonderful weekend with her and Zephyr!”


“Darcie and her girls are the absolute best! Highly recommend! I think our boys are actually sad when we come to take them home because they love being with Darcie so much ❤️😄”


“My little Wrigley can be a handful and doesn’t like to be away from her mom. But Carol was amazing! Appreciated all the pictures and communication that was sent to us. Made us feel at ease.”


“Emily did a wonderful job caring for our two senior dogs during our vacation. She sent me regular photos and updates and was responsive to my messages. Emily and her family gave our fur babies lots of love during their stay at her home for a week. I would highly recommend Emily for pet sitting/boarding.”


“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”

“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”


“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”

About: On top of being a veterinary assistant for over three years, I have also taken care of pets of my own and family and friends' since I was very young. I began working at the humane society at 14 and haven't stopped working with animals since! I have a B.S in Animal Ecology, and am currently working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital with weekends free. I never work past 6:30pm and never go in before 7am. Once a week I am off at 2pm, and another day I do not go in until 12pm. This provides me a flexible schedule to take care of your furry kiddos! I have a large yard that will be fully fenced in by the end of the summer, and a very friendly dog myself who loves to make new friends. I also have very tolerant cats that adapt to new friends as well! I have a spare room and crate available if needed. I have my own nail trimming supplies and transportation for myself and even for your fur baby if needed!

“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
