“I am the kind of dog mom who barely lets my best friends hold the leash. Helicopter mom. I worry about my pup because he is my son and also because he is a Frenchie with basically zero snout which can be dangerous if left in the hands of someone unfamiliar with short nosed breeds. I planned a trip to Florida and had to board my pup for over a week. I looked everywhere and read tons of reviews because I was really nervous about leaving my baby with someone else. I found Melissa who has lots of experience with dogs and short nose breeds. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she made me feel comfortable that my pup was in good hands. When I dropped him off he ran into the house to play with the other doggos so fast I couldn’t even get his leash off of him! He spent the next week playing inside and outside, napping, and getting lots of treats and attention. Melissa sent me photos daily and always responded quickly to my texts. I am surprised he even wanted to come home because he was having such a good time! He was in great condition when I picked him up; maybe just a little tired from all the fun. I now know whenever I need to be out of the house for an extended period of time whether it’s a day or a vacation, I have a great place to leave my pup. Thank you to Melissa and her family for caring for my baby so well! I definitely will bring G to you again and I highly recommend Melissa for boarding.”



“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”


“Karyn and Patrick couldn't have been more ideal for our puppy's first dog sitters! I don't think I've ever known any people who love dogs as much as them, and that's saying a lot! They made sure our puppy felt comfortable, safe, and happy. They took him on plenty of walks and gave him loads of attention, even sending him home with little gifts! They are top tier! (fully fenced-in grassy yard was a big plus, too)”


“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”


“Jen was great with our dog. She sent tons of pictures and updates. My dog came back healthy and happy. We will for sure use her again for sitting. Thank you Jen for taking such good care of Winston.”


“Kimchi had a wonderful time with Donna. She welcomed him into her home and seemed to enjoy having him stay with her. I really appreciate that Donna was able to care for Kimchi on such short notice and that she made him feel at home with her. He also had a chance to play with other dogs, which he LOVES. I would be very happy to leave Kimchi with Donna the next time I'm visiting Long Island.”


“Would give 10 star review if I could! Louis was absolutely amazing with our girl! He sent tons of pictures and provided quick feedback while we were on vacation out of state. He took her on walks and play time at a nearby park. Copper had an amazing visit, will definitely book again.”



“Michael and Anne Marie were wonderful with my 2-year-old border collie mix, Clarence -- and they graciously came to my rescue with a last-minute, 5-day Thanksgiving booking after another host fell through. They sent photos, videos and updates on Clarence, which I really appreciated. Their dog, Brody, was a wonderful host, too. And they even let Clarence sleep in bed with them! I would happily book another stay with Michael and Anne Marie! What a great introduction to DogVacay.com.”


“Kimberline was a the perfect host for our Sadie. Our dog ran into her house and never looked back. When we picked her up she was happy to see me, but ai knew she missed Kimberline and her family.”


“Apryl was heaven sent! My chocolate lab is a handful. She is super high energy, has anxiety and isn’t very socialized. She is also strong like a bull. Apryl took care of her like she was her own. She was attentive to my dogs needs and added her own style. When my dog couldn’t settle down at night she played relaxing music for her which helped settle her down. I couldn’t have asked for a better person for my baby. Thank you Apryl. I would give you 100 stars if I could!”


“Alyssa was amazing with our pup for a weekend. We got plenty of updates and didn’t worry about him at all while away for a wedding. She handled his meds like a pro and also made sure he was comfortable at night. He was spoiled by her backyard and the devoted attention from her family members! Would absolutely book with her again - thank you Alyssa!”


“Daisy had the best time! Shannon made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her and her 2 fur babies. Daisy met two adorable friends and was so happy! Thank you Shannon.”


“There are not enough good words to say about Kathryn!!! My dog Brody was in the absolute best of care. From the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up! She was sure to send a lot of pictures and videos. I can tell she truly has a love for animals. She made sure Brody felt right at home!!! Not only would I be using her again for my dog- I would HIGHLY recommend her services. She clearly has a lot of experience, knowledge, and love for animals!! I am so happy to have found her that I can leave my dog and have not a worry in the world - because he was in the best of hands with her. So thankful to have found the best dog sitter around!!!”



“Patrick is an absolute gem. Our sweet Teddy was taken care of just like he was a member of Patrick’s family. Teddy was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Patrick is an excellent communicator, easy going guy. I highly recommend Patrick’s services. Your pup will be in great hands.”

Louis was a fantastic dog sitter for our pitbull, Thor. He sent daily photos of all the activities they did and kept Thor active. We could easily see how happy Thor was about his new friend through his photos which provided us with peace of mind while on vacation. We highly recommend Louis if you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares for dogs. He also gifted Thor a doggy bag of treats which was a special touch! Thanks Louis!

We left our dog Holly with Patrick for 8 days. Patrick sent pictures of Holly. It was reassuring to see how her days were going. We picked up Holly and found her to be happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Patrick for anyone looking for a care taker for their dog.

Karol was such a great and caring sitter for our dog Sammy! We had an amazing experience with her and loved all the picture/video updates. She let me know when he wasn’t eating much and I really appreciated her concern and desire to make him feel comfortable in her home 💜 I will definitely book with Karol again!
