“Daisy loved being with Michele! Daisy loves being the center of attention. She got to walk and play and share her love. Michele is a great communicator and we were happy to get little notes assuring us that Daisy cared for with care and joy! Thank you Michele! Amy & Dan”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“Dropped my two pups off from Friday to Sunday afternoon. She sent pictures fed them walked them. They roamed and let me tell you they were happy worn out pups by the time we got home.. You could tell they had a time. She made sure everything was safe and clean for our pups as well as the other pups there. Will definitely recommend and definitely will be using her services again!”
“Shakya took wonderful care of my pit bull for 9 days. It can often be stressful leaving our pup for such a long stretch of time but we could immediately tell that Shakya was such a dog lover and we felt very comfortable. Shakya was very communicative, sending daily updates and photos. Our dog was in amazing hands!!! We were so happy with the care Romy was given and will definitely be calling Shakya again to care for her. 10/10!!”
“Donald was great with our quirky, senior greyhound. His patience and kindness is much appreciated and gave us peace of mind leaving her for the first time. Thank you Donald!”
“I think Cody really enjoyed his first Boarding with Chelsea! We will certainly be back! In fact already have another Boarding booked! Chelsea communicated great and sent pictures. Her parents being there are an added bonus! Cody is getting lots of love!”
“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“Bob and Susan were awesome... they went above and beyond for our dog, who in the past has had bad experiences boarding. We were unable to get back as scheduled, due to flight delays, and Bob and Susan couldn't have been nicer about the inconvenience. This was our first time with DogVacay and we are so thankful to have found it! We will be seeing Bob and Susan again soon!”
“Lori takes such great care of our labradoodle. She’s been a lifesaver for us when we need to go out of town and leave our furry friend at home. It’s comforting to know she’s in such good hands. Thanks Lori!!!”
“Our dog, Scout stayed with Julie and her family for a week and she had an amazing time! They took great care of her with lots of walks and playing with Julie’s kiddos. We will definitely be using Julie again in the future if and when needed! Seriously appreciate the care given to Scout and the updates we got throughout the week made us miss her just a little less!”
“Brenda and her family were great! She has a big, fenced yard and her dog Gonzo is a great playmate. My dog can be timid in new surroundings but Brenda made sure Indy was very comfortable during his stay. I highly recommend Brenda for your dog-sitting needs!”
About: I've been the primary person caring for the household dog for over five years now. I have a keen eye for details and a high sense of responsibility when it comes to the care of those who cannot speak for themselves. I also have experience hosting for multi-day sleepovers and managing the dynamics of a small (2-3 dog) temporary pack. I work full time during the week, but am available all major holidays and weekends. I currently walk and feed my dog twice a day, so adding your pup to the routine would be a breeze! Although I don't have a fenced in yard, there is a safe neighborhood nearby where we walk our dog daily. I have one dog currently who has loved every other dog he's ever met and would be happy to share his toys! We do allow pets on the couches & beds, but would be able to crate at night if that is preferred.
