“The whole experience from beginning to end was fantastic. Breanna was so easy to work with and I knew my dog was in good hands. I really appreciate how flexible she was with pickup. After several delays, my return flight didn’t get me back until 2am. She accommodated me for an additional night without hesitation.”


“My puppy came back so happy and she was able to actually finish the food I packed for her! She rarely finishes the food I pack and only eats half so this was a nice surprise! Definitely will hire again”


“We have finally found the ONE! Karen is the best! She is so wise and knowledgeable about animals. This is our 3rd or 4th time leaving our baby with Karen. She is thorough and consistent. I am no longer anxious about leaving our baby when we need to go out of town. I cannot say enough good things about Karen. Her home is very clean with lots of room for Lulu to play. Karen takes great care so we highly recommend her services. She will treat your baby like her own. And she sends pictures and videos to show how well your baby is doing. Thank you Karen again and again! You are truly amazing!”


“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.”


“Thank you Max for taking such wonderful care of Charlie! This was my first time leaving him with anyone in SA, and you helped make the transition a smooth one for me, so I could be away with family without “worrying” if Charlie would be ok! I loved all the updates and pics you sent throughout his visit. He was well cared for and enjoyed his time with the other four legged fur babies!! Thank you!!!!!”



“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.”


“We boarded our two Boston Terriers with Sarah for a little over a week. Sarah took good care, and every day while we were away she sent photos and an update. Our girls looked happy and healthy when we picked them up. Thank you Sarah! Would recommend.”


“Dawn was great. I’ve left my two boys with her twice now and they’ve come home exhausted and happy. They get excited when we pull into the driveway and I have a peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. She is very accommodating and flexible.”



“Anna was great watching my boy, Glenwood. He is bouncy with a lot of energy and he came home happy and tired. Will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Juan and his family took such great care of Teddy! They sent me several pictures and videos and he looks like he was having the time of his life. Teddy will definitely stay with them again! I would highly recommend using Juan!”


“Wonderful experience with a seasoned sitter. Mollie was introduced to me by Rover and lives nearby. It was great to work with her and she had a great demeanor with my dog. They had fun and I looked forward to daily updates and photos. I felt my dog was in great hands and she seemed at ease with Mollie and staying in her home.”


“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.”


“My pup had an awesome stay he told me he was treated great and wants to come back again to stay with Lisa and Brandon and their awesome kids!”


“Felicia was an incredible sitter! Our pups were showered with love and care from her and her family. We truly appreciated the regular photo updates, such a thoughtful touch. Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


“Sthephanie agreed to meet at a dog park just for me to be sure she was the right fit for my dog. She is really sweet and gave my dog a lot of love and care during my absence. I really will book with her again!!!”



“Tambre did wonderful job looking after our 2 pups. Great communication. We received photos daily. They had plenty of activity and company. We look forward to having Tambre look after our doggies again!”


“So glad Luna had dog friends to play with while we were away. She seemed happy and content and communication was very helpful as a first time dog mom leaving her baby!”


“Tangina was very welcoming and sent pictures and videos of Denver. She we easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. If you need a dog sitter she’s your woman. Denver was a little sad to go he had so much fun hahah.”


“Robyn is very responsive, keeps you updated and my dog, Buddy, seemed to really have a good time. Definitely hope to use her again whenever I need to board him. Much better than your commercial boarding service!”


“Cristina was amazing! She was communicative, kind and went above and beyond. Our flight was late and she kept Coco an extra night. Cristina's kindness made our stressful return a bit easier. Thank you Cristina!”
