“John is awesome, he took great care of Max while I was out, he sent me pictures and videos of him enjoying his time along with Raven, I really appreciate how welcoming John is and how safe makes me felt while dropping off max until the time of pick up, with no doubt I will be contacting him when we need it, thank you so much John and we hope to see you both (you and Raven) soon!!!”


“Omg she is amazing. We were on vacation and didn’t even had to worry as she communicated with us each day, sent pictures and made sure our baby boy was taken care of.”



“Esther's Toy & Small Dog Haven caught my attention right away because I was looking for a pet sitter who catered to small dogs. I have two small papillon dogs, only 7 pounds and I did not want them staying with someone who also had big dogs. Even playful big dogs can hurt a small breed dog, so I was happy to find Esther's boarding service on Dogs Vacay. I have never used a pet sitting or boarding service before. I was very skeptical and the person I selected to care for my canine children had to be like me. When I went on Esther's Dogs Vacay website, she had 106 reviews posted by previous dog parents. I read everyone of the 106 reviews posted. They were all positive. That gave me hope. I called Esther and she responded right away and we set up a meet and greet. I brought my papillons, Bella and Donny, over to her home in Kaneohe and met her and her three canine children. I immediately felt a connection to Esther. She has the same intuitive empathy for dogs that I have and she truly cares about dogs and can read their behavior. Esther and her husband Nick took great care of my dogs for 5 days and she sent many photos and videos everyday to my cellphone so I could see my dogs being cared for. She even hand-fed my dogs to make sure they ate their food. Her home is safe and secure for all of the dogs she cares for and there are gates sectioning off areas of her home to assure safety. Esther is also aware of any health issues your dog may have and will ask you about it.”


“Evgeniya always on time, sent updates and pics leaving us knowing our Davey & Pearl was well taken care of. We would have them take care of her again in a heartbeat.”


“Our dogs loved their stay with Nashira. We can tell they were taken care of just like they would at home. Nashira made sure we got daily updates and was very responsive during our dogs stay. She's great!”


“This was our second time using Diana and once again we were incredibly happy with our experience :) Diana is such a caring person who treats your pets like her own and really gives thorough updates and lots of pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their companions :)”


“This is the 3rd time our 2 GSP’s have stayed with Julia and her family. They are loving and caring and we appreciate the great communication and extra attention given to our dogs. Julia goes over and above in helping us while we’ve had to travel and has provided so much for us. Thank you, Julia. We appreciate you and you have been such a blessing to us.”


“Skylar is a great dog sitter. Our dogs were treated like family, and they loved their time with Skylar. From daily updates to ensuring they had plenty of playtime, we felt as ease. Definitely recommend Skylar 👌🏼”


“Alison was great with Holiday. The daily updates provided peace of mind that she was being taken care of well. We would definitely use Alison again.”


“Hui was super good with my cat! She sent videos every day and we felt very assured of our baby’s care while on vacation. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Hui! 💗”


“Allison was great with Ziggy. I was even worried if Ziggy will be willing to go home with us lol.. You can tell that Allison really loves taking care of pups. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Ziggy. I will definitely use her services next time I need help boarding Ziggy.”


“Sityen literally saved our Christmas. On short notice, she was able to take our dog for a 3 day stay, we got stuck on the other side of the country and she was able to keep her for an extra two days. She sent pictures, quick communicator, and even initiated a visit prior to boarding. TEN STARS!”


“Annie was fabulous! We needed a new sitter last minute and she exceeded our expectations! She and her husband loved Sadie as their own. She shared pictures of all her activities over the weekend - in every one we could tell just how much fun she was having. She even barked at me when I came to pick her up (which never happens!) I’m pretty sure Sadie was not ready to leave! Thank you Annie for taking such good care of our girl!”


“Yaretzi is one of the best! She is a gem. She took such great care of our sweet boy. She documented all their adventures and was in constant contact. She allowed me to enjoy our time away while having peace of mind that our beloved Goldendoodle was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Yaretzi to anyone.”


“Harper is normally a very nervous girl but she seemed to absolutely love spending the weekend with Cody and his family! Would absolutely book again!”



“Genniver was fantastic looking after our 3 dogs during Christmas. Which can be a handful at times especially during the holidays. Her home has plenty of yard space to make sure they have play time outside. She is very attentive and make sure your dogs needs are met”


“Crystal was wonderful. Super nice and caring and very communicative. My boxer has tons of energy and she managed him really well. I will be rebooking in the future!”


“Tamara has watched my girl several times. She is the greatest when it comes to communication, trust and care when it comes to my girl. She is excellent to work with. She has been the greatest addition to my family, due to her professionalism and care. My dog absolutely LOVES spending time with Tamara and her pack.”



“Instantly felt comfortable dropping the pups off with Katy. It was our first time leaving these dogs but instantly felt at ease and was sent photos of the pups everyday while we were gone.”


“Julia was wonderful caring for our two dogs when we traveled for three weeks. The dogs were very happy with her family. She notified us when she was concerned about something and her patient demeanor is very reassuring. I highly recommend her.”
