“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!”
“We have a Husky (Kalea) and she gets separation anxiety so we needed to find a home where she wasn’t crated. Kelly and her family are amazing with her and she became part of their family. Kelly sent me updates daily with photos and we could tell that Kalea was relaxed and having fun. Kelly has a big yard and a sweet little dog PJ that got along very well with Kalea. The whole experience was perfect and we were able to go away knowing Kalea was happy. Thank you Kelly!”
“We can’t say enough about Ren and Vicky. We frequently take Benny, our ball loving lab to stay with Ren and Vicky. He is always given love and effecting and endless ball time in there beautiful large backyard. He is truly treated like a family member. This last time Benny was recovering from surgery and the whole family helped make sure he followed the Vet’s strict activity guidelines and medication regiment. His incision healed beautifully while there and they sent frequent pictures and updates so we could forward the information to our vet as she had requested. We highly recommend Ren, Vicky and family to watch your precious pet:)🩷They are a very loving family and reliable. They are excellent at communicating.”
“Cynthia is awesome! I would definitely rate beyond five stars! This is the first time we used Rover and she made the process smooth and she is very accommodating. We went out of the country trip for my daughter's birthday, and leaving our Bingo behind made our family very anxious. Cynthia kept us updated and sent pictures of him on a daily, which gave the family ease of mind. Our Bingo also made BFF with her dog Tattoo. I would highly recommend her to anyone and she will be our go-to for future boarding/pet sitting. We appreciate your help and thank you for treating our Bingo as part of your family.”
“Renee always does a wonderful job looking after our 2 pups. I always feel better knowing she is taking care of them while we’re away. She is our go-to sitter!!!”
“Alex was AMAZING! First, I contacted him on short notice because my dog sitter had a medical emergency. He responded quickly to all my questions, and eased my nerves during drop off. Second, he did great with both my dog babies despite their personality differences. My Kobe is a puppy and super hyper. She can be a lot for some people but Alex was great with her from the second she met him. My Harry is an older dog and likes to be cuddled and one on one loving. Harry is a dog who loves people and doesn’t really like to mingle with other dogs. Alex met the needs of both. Third, the communication was great. My dog babies were with Alex for a week and he sent me periodic updates throughout the week. I appreciated the information and pictures he shared with me. In summary, this experience was amazing. I did not worry about my dog babies at all and would highly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for quality care. Alex will be our go to sitter when my family and I go out of town without our dog babies.”
“Phil & Amanda took care of Teddy for more than 10 days and we just know that Teddy had a wonderful time in every way! Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications! It is very clear how much they love dogs and we never worried while we were away.”
“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!”
“Mindy was great with Annabelle and Ollie! They obviously got plenty of exercise and attention because they fell asleep in the car almost immediately on the ride home.”
“This is my third time using Cheryl and she is excellent! I have a very timid and skittish rescue pup and Cheryl has shown her nothing but love and patience! I truly appreciate her care for my girl and looking forward to using her again.”
“Our ageing dog was in amazing care with plenty of time to socialize and attention to specific care instructions. Everything went perfect. Thank you Kathryn and all of your amazing helpers. 💛👏👏”
“Absolutely thrilled with Evvery’s care for my senior dog, Monty! She went above and beyond, giving him the extra attention and patience he needs at his age. I truly appreciated the frequent picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend Evvery to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Kacy took such great care of our dog! We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about her at all. Many photos and videos of her so we could see how she was doing along with notes from Kacy. Definitely 5 + star rating and will absolutely have our dog vacation with Kacy in the future!”

“Our pup stayed with Emily for 8 nights while we were traveling out of town. I felt 100% confident that she was safe and loved in Emily’s professional care. We received updates by photo and message (even a video!) along the way. I am soo grateful that we found Emily on Rover -and would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained my Beagle myself from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. Overnight sleeping in crate only.
“Khushboo is literally the best caretaker for my dog when I’m away. She took care of Murphy, took him out on walks on time and kept me updated with photos and videos. She made sure that Murphy is comfortable and also took time to play with him. I would definitely recommend her for your fur baby.”
