1. Mark and Vicky H.


“I can't say enough about how wonderful Mark and Vicky were with our pups. Every day of our vacation we received pics And updates on how they were doing. Even giving extra attention two some medical issues that my one pup has. These people are very nice and genuinely care about dogs. I would definitely use them again. I can also easily see that my dogs really liked them. That was important to me And comforting to me while we were away. Thank you so much Mark and Vicky, you guys are awesome!”

“Sable LOVES the care and attention she receives. This family really does loves dogs. She gets exercise, love and attention and I never have to worry about her at all.”


3. Bryan B.

“Bryan & his wife took wonderful care of our pups! I so so appreciated all the pictures & updates - we will have our dogs visiting them again!!!”


4. Vicki C.

“We felt like we were leaving our pups with a friend. When you take your pups even to the best boarding spas they can never get the the attention and care our pups received and you would have to pay extra. Viki has lots room inside and out for them to run around and play. She will keep you updated as often as you like. We will definitely be using Viki again. Thank you!!”




5. Mark & Elizabeth Y.

“Thank you Mark and Elizabeth for taking such great care of Baxter while we were gone celebrating our anniversary. Thank you for the pictures of him having a great time. It’s great to know that there are people that will open up their homes and take in other peoples animals instead of having to leave them in a boarding house or somewhere else that they may not get very much attention or affection and play. You guys are awesome and we appreciate every thing . Jason and Dawn ( Baxter’s mommy and daddy)”


6. Miranda W.

“Miranda was great! We had her watch our 10 yr old lab retriever mix for three nights. Things went well and we will definitely be contacting her in the future for more dog-sitting! Thanks again!”


7. Janine O.


“We were thrilled to find Janine on DogVacay....from the first time we spoke to arrange the Meet and Greet, we knew that we had found a wonderfully kind and caring home-away-from-home for our dog, ViVi. Janine made my husband and I and ViVi feel so welcome and at ease....she answered all our questions...taught ViVi how to use the Doggie Door and even had made homemade Doggie treats fresh from the oven. Her knowledge and experience are outstanding and we knew Vivi was in great hands. Our experience greatly exceeded our expectations. Vivi had such a good time time.Janine even sent us text messages with picture attached so that we could see Vivi while we were away. That was just awesome! Thank you, Janine, for the Great Job you do! Vivi will be looking forward to visiting again :)))) P.S. Woof! Woof! Hi to Chevy! :))”

“Another great sitting visit! My senior pup is all tuckered out. That's always a sign she had a great time with Kaylee and her pets ☺️ Thanks again!”


9. Stephanie L.

“Stephanie was excellent!! We left our dog with her and I could not have asked for better care. He was very well taken care of and he absolutely loved Stephanie. I would leave my dog there In a heartbeat.”


10. Candy T.

“Candy was absolutely fantastic. I could tell from out first meeting that she was going to be such a good fit for our pup! She took excellent care of him during his stay, treating him like one of the family. He was her little shadow by the time we picked him up and we could tell he had really enjoyed his stay. Candy is quick to respond and provided updates during his stay. We will not hesitate to leave him in her care in the future.”


11. Heather P.


“I cannot say enough about Heather and Daniel! We had them keep our 3 fur babies for a month while we were on vacation. They treated them as their own and we received pictures and videos everyday. It says a lot when you have a fur baby with high anxiety, yet she accepts her new caretakers without worry. We have more vacations planned and will definitely be using Heather and Daniel again. I also learned through this experience that our boxer loves babies ?”


12. Sarah P.


“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”


13. Mary N.

“Our Lana had a blast making new friends in Bruno and Mary. Mary was attentive with constant updates, pictures and communications, leaving us to relax into our time away. We will be calling Mary and Bruno again soon!”


14. Dawne F.

“Dawne was unbelievable! From start to finish she was a partner in care for our 4 month old puppy. She listened to our concerns, worked to understand our routine and helped our pup advance while we were on our 10 day vacation. I also loved how her whole family seemed to embrace our little guy!”


15. Danielle W.

“Danielle was excellent, sent pictures, and stayed in contact. The most crucial part is that V was tired and didn't want to do anything except sleep. Thank you”


16. Kathleen T.

“Ms. Kathleen was amazing with benji. She kept me updated and he had fun and she kept him safe. She also provided pictures and updates on him while I was away.”


17. Aimee C.

“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”


18. Kaishin K.

“I’ve used Kaishin twice for boarding, and she’s the absolute best. She is so accommodating, super friendly and sweet, and takes such great care of my elderly schnauzer. Rio loves her overnight stays with Kaishin and her beautiful little helpers, and it’s evident she is well cared for while there. I don’t even think she misses us! If you need someone to play mom to your pet while you’re gone, look no further than Kaishin!”


19. Jenna B.

“Last minute booking and Jenna accommodated us. Nice big backyard. There was some bad weather coming and she asked how my pup handled storms. Very conscientious and made me feel more relaxed about leaving him.”


20. Makenzie S.

“Makenzie and her boyfriend were amazing while watching our Great Dane, King! They were both so attentive and made sure King felt comfortable and well cared for. He can be a bit anxious and has specific needs, but they handled everything perfectly. Makenzie kept us updated throughout, which gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that King loved spending time with them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup. We highly recommend Makenzie and her boyfriend to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!”
