“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


“Lisa and her family are a godsend. Our pups have a great time when they stay with them and come home very happy. We are grateful to have them watch our babies when we are in need. 💕”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“Viktoria and her family were very welcoming to Allie. She seemed to fit right in! They had plenty of space for her to explore and I’m sure she enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use her again.”

“Evelyn, made sure our Bo was comfortable with her and the space. She is affectionate and knowledgeable about dogs! She was very attentive to our Bo and I received video, pictures and notifications of walks, etc. I felt really at ease leaving him. She even gave us some home made dog treats to take home with us. We will definitely be using Evelyn again!”

We received updates and pictures and Erin made sure our sensitive dog survived the fireworks. We will definitely be contacting Erin in the future when we need a sitter.”



“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”

“Pepper had a wonderful stay with Marybeth and Russ. He loved the freedom of running around the fenced yard. He was treated lovingly and kindly and Marybeth and Russ followed his routine completely so he felt safe and secure and well loved. They were very accommodating to us as we returned earlier than expected and were very flexible. I was given timely updates. This was our first experience with dogvacay and we can tell you that these hosts obviously enjoyed and cared for our beloved pet, Pepper. He was treated like a member of their family.”
