“Danielle just watched our new 4 month old puppy for 6 days. She did an absolutely fantastic and professional job. Not one day went by without communication and pictures. She shared about his day and didn’t hesitate to ask questions regarding his routine. Danielle took on the extra responsibility of having a puppy with such a positive happy attitude and we can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of Chuggy! He had a ball playing and has slept the day away today after coming home! Thanks Danielle???”
“Mariah is a wonderful sitter, she took great care of my baby. She took him on walks, played with him and had plenty of treats. I appreciated her sending pictures and videos while I was away to ease my mind. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her.”
“Jesus was great with my poodle, he sent pictures or video of him daily. Jesus is caring and in tune to what your pet needs. He had so many toys for the dogs to play with. Jesus has a wonderful personality, and my dogs seem to love him. When I picked up my poodle Jesus had given him a bath, his bed was washed, and he was happy. I could not have picked a better person to keep my poodle. Jesus is the best of the best and my poodle enjoyed his time with Jesus and his family!”
“Used Anna to keep my dog Boomer for 9 days and everything was perfect. She sent updated pictures and videos Boomer looked like he was having a great time like he was at home. We're most definitely going to use them again everytime we go out of town in the future. It's his new home away from home and I swear I think they even gave him a bath.”
“I will hands down be booking Chloe again for any time I need someone to watch my fur baby. Her communication was on point and the love for my fur baby was undeniable. She cared just like our Penny was her own. I have raved about her to a couple friends that are looking for dog sitters. Definitely 5/5. Thank you Chloe for taking such good care of our Penny.”
“Katherine is very attentive and bonds quickly with your pet. She has her own small dog who seems to welcome other pups. She offers an intimate setting with great yard space. I think the setting is great for medium to small dogs. She also offered daily updates and pictures that calmed our nerves. If she is available, I will bring my pup to her again. I think my dog learned a few things as well!”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
“Great experience with Merve! She boarded my dog for over a week and I cannot recommend highly enough! The daily updates and pictures and videos were also very much appreciated. Will certainly going back next time I have to travel”
“This was my first time using Dog Vacay, so naturally, I was a bit scared to leave my Lola with someone new. However, I have to say it was a great experience. Eleanor, Tank and the rest of her wonderful family did a great job of caring for Lola while I left on a last min trip. Tank is such a gentle giant. Lola is usually not very relaxed around large dogs but at our meet and greet they got along great. And, after talking to Eleanor and her family I felt comfortable and confident she was in good hands. She has a large yard, which was great for Lola since she loves to run around. Eleanor was also great about working around my departure and arrival times which was very helpful. Thanks Eleanor!!”
“I had surgery unexpectedly and Joy and Dan accepted my last minute request of dog boarding. My puppy was very excited to go back there and when I picked him up he was very happy. He had a very good visit with them. I am very satisfied with the care that they provided to my puppy.”
“We can’t thank Debra & Michael enough for taking the best care of our Emme girl! I could tell from the minute I met them how amazing they were. I couldn’t have found a better couple to take care of our girl. Thank you so much!!! ❤️”
“Ann kept me updated on how my dog was doing with pictures. Convenient location close to train station to Chicago. It was nice exploring the city without worrying about when to get back. Thanks!!”
