1. Heather J.
“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!”
2. Samantha V.
“Sarah and Samantha were Pawsitively awesome! They did such a great job making our 10 month old Labradoodle a part of their family, I was afraid he might not want to come home!! Kept us updated with tons of photos from his vacation as well. It was a great experience for us as well as our pup!! :) Thank you Sarah and Samantha!”
3. Jill M.
“Jill was very accommodating with our giant furry girl! Communicated great and made sure our dog was safe and comfortable. We will be booking with Jill and and definitely recommend!”
4. Carol S.
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
5. Aleece S.
“My dog son is a handful and I know he probably was not the easiest dog to take care of. Aleece handled him with grace and I felt reassured that he was in good hands the whole time 💓 I will definitely reach back out for future dog sitting needs.”
6. Darcie M.
“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 ❤️😄”
7. Amanda W.
“We left our chocolate lab with Amanda and Jason for 5 days… and were dismayed because when we went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave! They have two dogs of their own so there were playmates and everyone had fun. Thank you Amanda and Jason.”
8. Cathleen H.
“Cathleen was a great sitter and her dog was a great companion for my Aussie! She really treated my dog like her own and sent plenty of photos of everything they did! We will be calling her again!”
9. Sherry Plath O.

10. Katelyn L.
“Katelyn was so great with my nervous dog and she was very accommodating to some unforeseen circumstances 😅 We will definitely work with her again !”
11. Emily F.
“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.”
12. Olivia J.
“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!”
13. terry h.
“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”
14. Genna M.
“If we could give 10 stars we would. We have three small dogs and when we needed a sitter they stayed with a family member. Due to health issues they are no longer able to keep our dogs. We had not left town for about 1 and 1/2 years. We toured some commercial kennels and didn't think our little ones would do very well in that environment. We found Genna on DogVacay. We started communicating and from her quick response to inquiries and seemed so interested and concerned about our dogs. We arranged to have them stay for a weekend to see how things would go. The process was quite easy. Genna called us to learn about our little ones habits and personalities. When we hung up we felt much better about leaving them. When the day arrived we took them to Genna's home. We were worried about how things would go. Turns out this was a total waste of good worry. Within about an hour Genna sent us a picture of our kids. They looked happy and relaxed. My wife finally relaxed. Genna kept us updated with texts and photos. When we came home we were delayed some because of a snow storm. Again Genna was very flexible and asked us to be careful. When we arrived to pick them up we were extremely pleased with how our dogs acted. They looked at us and seemed to say oh hi. Normally when we have been gone they become hyper excited when we get home. After getting them home they were relaxed and took naps. I know this is long but I want to emphasize how much we were impressed with Genna and her family.”
15. Mary L.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
16. Donna T.
“My dogs had a great time with Donna and her crew. The only downside is, they could've cared less that I came and picked them up. They were like......"oh there's what's his name to pick us up. Darn it." Will definitely send them back when I need to board them again.”
17. Becky K.
“Becky is extremely communicative and helpful. We loved receiving pictures and updates of our pet’s stay. He had an absolutely wonderful time, and they even helped calm his anxieties during fireworks. I definitely plan to rebook with them and would recommend to anyone.”
18. Anna-Lena D.
“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!”
19. Heather V.
“Heather is very nice. We are very happy with her help. She could understand, Principe ‘needs . We very appreciate her understanding about Principe.Thank you Heather.”
20. April R.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a positive experience with April and her family! She sent us an update every day and Maverick looked so happy playing with the kids and their dog Ruby. Will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you April!”
