“Such an easy process and Steve is a great guy to leave your dog with, super cool and easy hoing with all animals. I didn't worry for one second while I was away. Highly recommend!”


“Kadi was so sweet and attentive. You can tell there’s a lot of love in their home for their dogs and leaving Oliver felt easy. She kept me up to speed with how the stay was going. Easy to communicate with and was flexible. Oliver had so much fun and was exhausted after his stay.”


“Whitley took such great care of my senior dog. Shout outs for the last minute accomodation. I really appreciated the videos, reports and that her dog was such a good host too.”


“Callie had an amazing time at Lydia’s while my bf and I were out of town. I felt so happy and comfortable knowing Callie was well taken care of and safe. We will be booking again! Thank you!!”


“I used rover for the first time and was very nervous and apprehensive about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. I chose Kerri because she was so positive and responded quickly. Kerri sent pictures and kept me up to date about my dog and his activities. When I picked him up she was just as friendly and my dog was happy. I would use her again in a heartbeat if I ever need a sitter for my dog.”


“Kind, friendly, so easy to work with. Rahied made what was an anxious situation for me, completely worry-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. I knew my furry friend was in good hands right at the moment I met Rahied. I have no reservations about recommending him.”

“Yvette made our first experience using DogVacay a very successful one! We were nervous about leaving our young, curious, high-spirited and energetic Airedale with someone who wasn't familiar with him, but Yvette went above and beyond. She always responded quickly to our texts and gave us lots of updates throughout the day on how our dog was doing, along with pictures of what he was up to. We highly recommend her!”


“Shelbi was great, she took good care of our little pup and he had so much fun staying at her house. She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a good time, and of Goose with her pup! She had no problem following the instructions for making his food which requires a little more effort than scooping kibble. Goose loved her :)”

About: Hi there, I am Veronica and we are looking forward to hosting your fur baby! I love dogs and have 2 dachshunds, Nutley and Noodles. Dogs have been in our family since I was a child. My first dog Cha-Cha, was my shadow and the sweetest little poodle. We also had a sassy dachshund Pooter, who was such a sweetie and smart little girl, and a big goofy doberman, Oogey-Boy who would follow her around. We've had happy, sweet dogs, rescue dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who are less social, dogs who have come from unsafe homes and need a little more attention, which is why I like to know a bit of their history prior to their stay. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medication. I own my home, non-smoking, have a fenced in yard. My home is peaceful and gets lots of sun which the dogs love to find a good sunny spot to lounge in. If your dog is playful, they will absolutely love running around and playing with Nutley and all the little balls and toys. If your pup is more laid back, they might enjoy lounging on the back porch or patio, or another comfy spot. Your baby will enjoy having company, play time, walks and going to the park. When we're not at the park, they can safely run around, play and bark in the yard and enjoy people watching, or relax in the indoor porch, where water bowls await them. If your dogs are lap dogs, there is always room for another set of paws and your dogs will have lots of belly rubs during their stay! And, I always keep pup-cups on hand! If I need to run a quick errand, I can crate your dog if needed. Your dog will have access to the entire house and they're welcome to lounge on the sofa; I keep a sofa protector just for them! You will have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable.
