“Darcie and her family were very thoughtful and accommodating for my dogs needs. She kept me updated on his stay with messages and pictures. Would definitely take him back.”
“Sam and Sarah are fantastic! Pepper came home exhausted after a great day playing, walking, and hanging out with them and their crew. I would highly recommend them and will definitely take Pepper again for day care. Very flexible and accommodating, and I loved getting pics of her throughout the day. Thank you!!!”
“Heather was really good with our dog Tria . She send us pictures throughout the stay . Heather was very flexible with time for pick up and drop off. I highly recommend her .”
“If we could give 10 stars we would. We have three small dogs and when we needed a sitter they stayed with a family member. Due to health issues they are no longer able to keep our dogs. We had not left town for about 1 and 1/2 years. We toured some commercial kennels and didn't think our little ones would do very well in that environment. We found Genna on DogVacay. We started communicating and from her quick response to inquiries and seemed so interested and concerned about our dogs. We arranged to have them stay for a weekend to see how things would go. The process was quite easy. Genna called us to learn about our little ones habits and personalities. When we hung up we felt much better about leaving them. When the day arrived we took them to Genna's home. We were worried about how things would go. Turns out this was a total waste of good worry. Within about an hour Genna sent us a picture of our kids. They looked happy and relaxed. My wife finally relaxed. Genna kept us updated with texts and photos. When we came home we were delayed some because of a snow storm. Again Genna was very flexible and asked us to be careful. When we arrived to pick them up we were extremely pleased with how our dogs acted. They looked at us and seemed to say oh hi. Normally when we have been gone they become hyper excited when we get home. After getting them home they were relaxed and took naps. I know this is long but I want to emphasize how much we were impressed with Genna and her family.”
“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”
“Emily did a great job caring for our dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very easy to communicate with. She treated our dog like one of her own, even letting him sleep in her bed when he didn’t want to sleep in his kennel! We would definitely use Emily again!”
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”
“11/10 recommend. it was my puppies first time staying outside of our home and Katelyn was great! she was very accommodating when we arrived later than expected and sent many pictures updates. will definitely book again 🥰🥰”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”
“Cathleen was more than we could have asked for. She took the time to meet us beforehand, to get to know us and our dog. She sent us pictures and updates throughout Sammy's visit. She met us at the drop-off and pick up to chat. We highly recommend her….”
“Thanos seemed like he really enjoyed his stay with Olivia and family. I truly appreciate her accommodating for his last minute stay. She communicated well and sent lots of updates and pictures. Thanos came back to us with a smile and new friends. Definitely recommend!”
“Heather was fantastic. She took great care of our babies and listened to us when we gave her the run down on their unique quirks. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
