21. Olivia R.


“I was out of town for the week and Olivia watched Lulu for the being. She was wonderful, kept up with Lulu’s meds, and kept me updated the entire time. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!”


22. Enrica M.

“Enrica & Roberto rolled out the red carpet for our Frannie. Numerous photo updates, with accompanying messages, definitely put our minds at ease. When I went to pick up our little girl, I wasn’t sure she would want to come home!”


23. Vallicia L.

“My husband and I went away for a week and it is always hard, leaving our little one behind. Of all the times that I have used her over, I have felt the most with Vallicia. From the moment we met, I felt her warm spirit and her love for dogs. I was completely comfortable with being away, as I know he was in good hands. She kept us up-to-date with pictures, and I could tell our little one was having a great time! I would definitely use her again!”


24. Yvonne & Joseph K.


“Yvonne is a very attentive and dependable sitter! She took care of our Missy with the utmost care! She regularly sent photos so we knew Missy was content, happy, and doing well! We highly recommend her and will definitely look to use her services again!”


25. Becca R.

“We used Becca to watch our pup for a weekend getaway. Upon meeting her for the first time, we could immediate sense her love for pets. I was comfortable that he wa son good care. She sent an update daily. I would use her again.”


26. Madison M.
About: As an animal lover your baby will become my baby for the time being spent with me. I have dog and cat experience of all sizes! I do work an office job from 8-5. I can come let the animal outside for a potty break on my lunch break during the week if needed. During the weekends I can accommodate any needs. I have a chain link fenced in yard and spare bedroom with a crate if your dog prefers some alone time. Currently the house is pet and child free.


27. Shelby R.

“Shelby was amazing! She sent photos of my pup throughout his 3 day visit, and was flexible with extending the stay when our flight canceled. Can’t wait to book with her again.”


28. Coleen D.


“I am a very picky dog mommy, and usually we plan all vacations that would include taking our Muffin along. When I saw this App (Dog Vacay) I thought, "What a great idea!" I scheduled a "Meet & Greet" with Coleen after looking at her profile...anyone who rescues dogs, cats, and birds is definitely an animal lover and one after my own heart. Muffin came along to meet and sniff and I was totally impressed with Coleen that we booked an overnighter. Coleen sent me pictures and short updates of Muffin which made the whole family happy to know that she was in good hands with a loving woman and her son. We will definitely be booking future vacays with Coleen and maybe even a few overnighters here and there just for fun!! I highly recommend Coleen!!! She was fabulous!!!”


29. Andrea P.

“Today was my babies, Nala and Simba’s first day with Andrea and they had a good day. Andrea kept me abreast to everything they were doing by sending pictures and videos. Andrea and her family cared for my fur babies like they were her very own. My babies will definitely be boarding with her in the near future.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, a rabbit, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, etc. I also have experience working on farms helping care for animals. I am very happy to have worked with animals my entire life and would love to contribute to helping with as many as I can! I am very receptive to animals feelings and boundaries and have no problem leaving them be and giving them space, or playing with them and giving them all the love and care in the world. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and providing them with whatever extra care they may need. I am very much open in terms of my schedule, and am available to work with others in accommodating them during the week for pet care. I live in a pet friendly apartment with access to food, water, a safe walking trail, a clean environment, a tidy room, access to the bathroom, plenty of room for playtime, and so much love.


31. Courtney H.

“Courtney was awesome from start to finish! My dog was legitimately excited to be there and she kept me in the loop with pictures throughout his stay! It felt safe and comfortable and he came home absolutely exhausted the next day! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”


32. Jill & Thomas K.

“If you want to be certain your dog is happy and loved while you’re away, then they are the right people to hire. I received daily photos/videos and their communication was excellent. Thank you so much for caring for Elsie so well!”


33. Alexx G.

“Second time watching our dog and she’s great! Super flexible and willing to help in a pinch!”


34. Elisabeth A.

“Elisabeth is simply great, really grateful for her to take care of Pluto on Christmas day, she kept us updated throughout the evening and we could see Pluto was relaxed and happy. She was really caring, Pluto can be a bit anxious at a new place but she made sure that all points discussed during our meet and greet were taken care of. I would highly recommend Elisabeth and would look forward to the next stay.”


35. Baraka O.

“Baraka accepted my request the night prior to keep my Finley which was great and super helpful. He sent update pictures of her throughout the day which I appreciated.”


36. Joseph G.

“My pup loved Joseph. He met so many new friends and seemed so comfortable. I plan to use his services just for day to day daycare so he can get all the playtime he deserves.”


37. Karen D.


“We love Karen! Bruno always has a great time staying with her, we use Karen’s services for him every time we go away. This time around she trimmed his nails for me which I am very very grateful for. Thanks Karen!!”


38. Nathan & Meredith V.

“Nathan & Meredith took excellent care of our two dogs. They kept them happy and entertained, and sent tons of pictures while we were away. Oakley and Petey loved playing with their dogs and we came home to content, tired out pups. I know they’ll be excited next time they get to stay with their new friends.”


39. Tabby A.

“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”


40. LaZaviyah B.

“Being an overprotective mom I went back and forth with myself on whether or not I was willing to leave my dog with anyone for 3 days and just cancel my trip but Zays calm demeanor doing our meet and greet calmed my intrusive thoughts and I finally booked their stay. I know I probably got on her nerves with all of the inquiring I did but she was very polite and very on task with the instructions that I left for my babies, she communicated well and most of all she could handle my very rambunctious 3 year old Weimaraner/Pit mix. She also made sure My senior dog was very comfortable and relaxed during her stay as well. Thank you Zay for caring for my babies and they will be seeing you again!!!”
