“It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her.

Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.”

“This was my first experience using Dogvacay and I was pleasantly surprised! Rachel was quick to reply, accommodating, and easy to work with from start to finish! We had a meet and greet and the doggies seem to take to her quickly. Loved the picture updates, they seemed relaxed and content. She stayed in my home and everything was exactly as I left it. She provided the best care for my 3 doggies and I would have Rachel take care of the them again. Thanks Rachel!”

Layhill pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had to find a dog sitter last minute when our dog came down with kennel cough right before our trip. Emani was very helpful in explaining the fees to me and was accommodating with our last minute booking. We have two large high energy dogs that loved her the moment met her. She took great care of them and sent us updates and photos throughout our week away. Our home and dogs were in great shape when we got back. I definitely recommend Emani for your house and dog sitting needs!
Katie was a fantastic house sitter on our long trip. The pets were well taken care of and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were happy! She sent updates and photos the whole time letting us know if they’d eaten properly and had their medicines. It felt great knowing they were in good hands!
Jason took care of our two big dogs for a little less than a week and did a fantastic job! He sent us pictures and told us how the dogs were doing on a regular basis. One of our dogs is afraid to walk on wood floors and Jason set up area, rugs and bath rugs all over the house to make it easier for him to move around the house. He spent considerable time with our dogs too, which we really appreciated. We will definitely ask Jason to help us again in the future and we highly recommend him.
Caroline was fantastic! She sent loads of pictures of a very happy Clare, remembered her pills and all her little idiosyncrasies, took great care of the house and fed my outdoor birds. Everything was perfect when we got home...Clare misses her! We'll definitely use Caroline again and recommend her to our friends.
Kalani took care of my senior, very picky pup when I had to leave her for a week soon after she was diagnosed with vestibular syndrome. I was SO worried about leaving her, and Kalani turned out to be a DREAM. She kept me updated with photos and videos without me having to ask, and she got her to eat and take her meds which she generally fights with all her being. Kalani really is a dog whisperer, it made my week so much easier knowing my pup was safe and in great hands. I'm very grateful.
Really appreciate Molly’s dedication and flexibility. My pets (dog & cat) were a bit challenging this time as The dog (rescue) is still relatively new to our home. Molly arrived at time promised, was very communicative throughout, sensitive to my pet’s needs & mine as well while I was away. She even came by for an in person meetup and asked really good questions. Thank you Molly!
Anthony went above and beyond taking care of my sweet Monsieur the Chat! He was extremely communicative every day and sent plenty of pictures of my cat. When the fire alarm ran out of batteries and the noise scared Monsieur, Anthony quickly took care of it, even though it wasn't something we anticipated him needing to do. I'd gladly book Anthony again.
Lily was a fantastic sitter for Ella. Ells seemed to take to Lily pretty quickly, and Lily was not shy to provide constant updates on how Ella was doing, including pictures when she walked her, which was often. I would absolutely ask Lily to watch Ella again in the future.
We are incredibly grateful to Elizabeth! Our original sitter canceled just two days before, and I was beyond nervous. I reached out to Elizabeth, and she immediately accepted the request—showing up that same night at 10:30 PM to meet us. She took on the challenge with confidence, even though my dog requires medication to stay alive. Elizabeth was punctual, kind, and went above and beyond to help us. She provided more support than we even asked for, and I truly hope we can continue working with her in the future. P.S. She is fully bilingual, which is a huge plus and makes her a true unicorn! 🦄
