“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”

“The best experience with perfect caregivers. Sisters, Yeju and Enye, could not have lavished better attention and love on Noodles. Highly recommend as conveniently located downtown and accommodating a flexible schedule. Only hesitant giving effusive praise as need Yeju and Enye to be available all the time for Noodles!”

“Hua truly is phenomenal! She goes above and beyond to ensure that your pet is not only taken care of, but is having a wonderful stay. Daily updates with personalized captions and photos, EOD report updates, and she even sent me home with a little gift to commemorate their time together. I will definitely be rebooking with Hua, 10/10!”
“Ashley and her daughter treated our dog as if she was their own! Regular updates made me feel so confident that she was well taken care of. No issues with the other dogs she had in her care that weekend either. Will definitely book again!!”

“First time using DogVacay, and selected Stacy R to take care of KiKi. Before our vacation started, we lost KiKi's best friend Abbott very suddenly (Corgi) which caused us all great heartache. Stacy R had great reviews, a super sweet rescue of her own Joe (Boxer) and others raved about her good communication and avid walking schedule. KiKi struggled a bit early on as he was still in a funk over the severe recent changes at home. Stacy R worked through it with patience and care. KiKi came home in excellent health, clean and happy. Stacy R is organized, professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend her and will call upon her again in the future. Thanks Stacy R and a shout out to Bill who took to filling some big shoes for me while I was away. Thanks again. Doug M.”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Loop dog parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely fabulous! I took a 4 day trip to Tennessee to move and on a quick notice Sam was able to watch my dog Birdie. It was a rough process on my end but Sam was able to help out the whole process and even add an extra day when plans changed. Made sure I was well updated and sent plenty of pictures! Made sure my girl was well taken care of! Awsome dude! Definitely will contact him to watch my bird anytime.
Thank you so much, Trey and Sam, for taking such great care of Zoe and Ollie! I really appreciate your flexibility and how attentive you were with both pups. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Looking forward to booking with you again!
Katelyn was excellent with my senior dog! She is a xolo and more cat like than dog- she has kidney disease and we have not left her with anyone since her diagnosis. Katelyn got her to eat! Found a new kibble that she likes! I've literally tried every type I could find. She trimmed her toenails! She took her on walks to parts of Chicago Zola has never seen! I laughed at dog strollers all my life but Zola needed one to go on long doggie walks with the big dogs. Zola was extremely well taken care of. Katelyn was fantastic.
Cubby had the best time with Lemna & her family! She took care of him like he was one of her own. I loved how she sent me several pictures of Cubby daily and an update of how he was doing. Cubby loved having other dogs around too! Will definitely be boarding with Lemna again in the future.
Maddy was amazing with our pup! She sent pictures and handled everything very professionally. She was a big help with being flexible for pickup/drop off times. She also went above and beyond making sure our dog was ok during a few thunderstorms during the stay. Overall a great experience!
Sharon continues to be an amazing caretaker for our dog Reggie. She is extremely flexible and generous with her time, allowing pick-up and-drop off time flexibility when needed. Because she has a dog of her own (Ace) and often has other dogs staying, Reggie comes home well socialized and with better behavior! Highly Recomnend!
We had a big trip coming up and needed a long-term dog sitter—cue the nerves. We’d never been away from our two Morkies for this long, so we were a little anxious. Enter Michael: calm, reliable, and sending us regular updates that made us smile (and seriously helped with the vacation jitters). He totally won over our pups—and us! Honestly, we think we’ve found our go-to sitter for the long haul. Can’t recommend him enough!
Xiang was wonderful with Tonton! He sent me daily updates and photos, which really put me at ease while I was away. Tonton came home super happy and got a bone from Xiang that she absolutely loved. I could tell she was well cared for the whole week. We’ll definitely be booking with Xiang again!
