“This was our first experience with DogVacay. Candi was very well taken care of, and we felt more comfortable having her stay with a family rather than being in a kennel. We looked forward to seeing the pictures that Joann sent every day.”
“Margaret and her husband took very good care of my Lily. Margaret kept me up to date of how Lily was doing with videos and pictures multiple times a day. She also was on top of giving Lily multiple meds while I was on vacation. This was so awesome and it eased my anxiety about leaving lily so soon after having an illness. I will definitely being using them again.”
“Millie had a great time with Marija! I could tell she was fed, happy, loved, and played with. I love that she had a huge fenced yard! We got regular updates. We will definitely use Marija again!”
“Amie was great with Hobbes. He was so well cared for and all her family pets helped Hobbes feel right at home. We will be back the next time we go on a trip and need a someone to watch Hobbes. Thanks for the great care.”
About: Most members of my family have pets and have relied on me to take care of them when they traveled. I'm familiar with the needs of both cats and dogs. I've given a cat shots for diabetes, have taken care of multiple animals with different feeding schedules/special dietary foods, can give dogs a bath without much hassle (special thanks to the best assistant- peanut butter), and love taking dogs for walks. I also enjoy helping cats get their hunter's energy out while we play together. Having my own cat, pet care is a daily routine for me. I give her fresh food and water in the morning and again in the evening. I clean her litter every day as needed. I understand every owner and pet has their own schedule, so I'm happy to follow any schedule/routine your pet is accustomed to. Your pet will receive quality care whether it's in your home or mine, and will be cared for according to the schedule or needs you convey to me. I typically walk dogs within their own neighborhoods as I cannot board dogs due to having a cat and being unsure how she responds to dogs. Most of my experience so far has been providing pet care within the owner's home through drop-in visits.
“I’m so grateful that I found Jennifer! She is THE BEST! I was reluctant to leave my dog with anyone- but she loved on him, and took him for walks, and gave him lots of snuggles…and sent me lots of pics of his visit! I will DEFINITELY be using her again. ❤️”

We could tell from the moment we met her that she loves and cherishes animals and our dog would be in great hands! Our puppers is our baby, so we are very picky when it comes to who will watch him when we need to travel. Holly exceeded any and all expectations and took amazing care of our fur baby! Thank you Holly for watching Benny and for treating him as one of your own, we can’t thank you enough!!”

Already looking forward to the next visit!”
