“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.”
“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!”
“Allison was great with Ziggy. I was even worried if Ziggy will be willing to go home with us lol.. You can tell that Allison really loves taking care of pups. She was constantly sending us pictures and videos of Ziggy. I will definitely use her services next time I need help boarding Ziggy.”
“This was the second time we've had Rocio take care of Charm and we're so happy about it! Charm is a "senior citizen" and is easily stressed in her old age, but Rocio and her husband are so calm and sweet with her. It's the perfect place for her to be! They also sent me regular photos where we could see that all was well--much appreciated! I highly recommend Rocio!!”
“Miles had an incredible time staying with Jackie and Jorge, she cared for him like her own, we are definitely looking forward to have her take care of our little boy when we need to be out of town, thank you both !”
“Wen anyways does a great job with izzy! I get multiple updates a day with pics and even though izzy is pretty shy with other dogs she always plays with wen’s other doggie guests!”
“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.”
“I have now sent Stretch to stay with Gerald and Elizabeth many times and every time Stretch seems to be more and more comfortable and always has so much fun!! 10 Stars!!!”
“We were so blessed to have found this family to care for our babies while we were gone! They give updates thoroughly so you never worry. The pups were taken on numerous walks, got lots of cuddles, and enjoyed the large yard! This family goes above and beyond to make sure the animals feel safe and welcome like at home. We will always request them for all future dog sitting needs ❤️”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“This was our second time using Dania. This time our dog stayed over a week. We had no worries while we were gone and knew he was well taken care of. Dania is also very accommodating for drop off and pickup.”
“This was our second time using Diana and once again we were incredibly happy with our experience :) Diana is such a caring person who treats your pets like her own and really gives thorough updates and lots of pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their companions :)”
“Had a last minute weekend trip- Abby was great. Very accommodating and kept me updated the whole weekend. Will definitely be using her again.”
“COCO just loves, loves staying with David and Jennifer!! I totally trust them with my baby! They always send me pics of her stay. I am very fortunate to have found them. ”
“Our dog, Maya, loved staying with Marisa T. and her family. They treated her like their own pet! It was comforting that we were able to go for a quick visit prior to Maya’s extended stay. We loved getting pictures during her 5-night visit, and we so appreciate the cute new monogrammed toy! It was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. We would definitely use Marisa again. Thank you for providing Maya such loving care!!”
“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 dog Jax stayed with Cecilia for five days, and she was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for him, especially when it came to getting him to eat, he’s a very picky eater, but she was so patient and creative. Jax also got to play with her sweet dogs, which made him feel right at home. Cecilia sent me daily updates with videos and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her!”
“While my dog stayed with Lucas I was provided daily updates pictures and messages as to how well he was doing. Everything went smoothly and I look forward to using Lucas for boarding services in the future. I highly endorse Lucas and 10/10 would use him again.”
“Delta took very good care of my puppy during the visit. She is very communicative and even spend time to train some basic commands with the puppy. She was ready on time during drop off and during pick up as well. Definitely recommend to anyone and will book for my future bookings.”

Elisabeth & Gerald were fantastic! My Jules was missing home the first day and they gave her extra special attention to make sure she felt right at home. I got lots of pictures and updates which I loved seeing! She looked like she had so much fun. We will definitely be booking with Elisabeth & Gerald again❤️
Thank you Tracey and family! You guys are the best dog sitters that we have encountered! We really appreciate all the pictures and videos of how much our dog was enjoying herself at your home. Will definitely recommend you folks to all our friends and family!
Truman loves hanging out with Daniella and Uni! Daniella sends updates and photos, he loves it there!
This was our first time utilizing the services of Sarah and we were pleased with the experience. She willingly met us a week ahead of time so that our dog could meet her and her dog. Sarah works from home and it was a comfort knowing that Sarah was available to our Gracie at most any moment of the day. Sarah remained in contact with us via text during our vacation and sent photos of her daily activities. We appreciate her care and you will not be disappointed in using her services.
I can tell Benji loves hanging out with Braydon. He gets so excited and I know it’s because Braydon takes good care of him. I completely trust Braydon with him and would book with him again in a heartbeat. 😀
Amazing communication with tons of pictures and videos. Andrea is very friendly, nice and very knowledgeable. Very dog friendly house with a spacious yard. She went above and beyond for our spoiled dogs. Would absolutely book with her again.
Rocio & Miwaki are awesome! They’re so good with my furbaby, Koko! They’re super nice and always keep me updated throughout the stay with videos and pictures. I trust Koko is in great hands whenever she stays with them and will definitely use them again in the future! ☺️
So glad I found Jenny to take care of Niko. He had a good time, slept well and had a big fenced yard to play in. Jenny sent updates and photos.
