“Geta enjoys visiting Darcy, Charlie and the family, she gets so excited when we get close to arriving at Darcys home...I feel very comfortable leaving my girl while take vacations or go to work..thank you always”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we had such a great experience! Sam and her pups are so friendly and welcoming. Our shy little girl had so much fun, and enjoyed all of her walks and playtime. Thank you for being so awesome!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough about Heather. Due to a scheduling conflict, she came and picked up our dog from our house. Our dog is very anxious and Heather spent a large amount of time with her, in our home. Heather did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable. Heather couldn't get her out the first time over. She came to our house 4 times before she could get our dog out. Heather sent updates about how our dog was doing. Heather is patient and genuinely kind. We will use Heather 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++.”
“This was Maggie’s first time with Jill. She was boarded when she was 1 and had such a traumatic experience we weren’t sure we could leave her with a non-family member again… but she seemed to really enjoy Jill! She was happy to see me upon return, but was also so excited around Jill, I knew she was treated well and loved on. We received pictures and updates which put our minds at ease. Thank you, Jill, for loving on our girl. (We’ve already booked Jill for next time!)”
“Andrea and our dog, Milo, became best buddies immediately, and spent 3 lovely days together. Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”
“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.”
“Mark was awesome. Nisha was well taken care of and loved her stay. Lots of walks and snuggles. Felt very comfortable leaving Nisha with Mark and will definitely board with him again. Thanks much Mark.”
“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++”
“She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She sent pictures periodically through the day and you could tell the dogs were having so much fun! I’ll definitely be using her again and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else.”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
“Emily and her family did an outstanding job of caring for Rizzo. He was having such a fun time, he didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be using Emily to care for Rizzo in the future .”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“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!”
