“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Rae was amazing with my precious Paris. She was very uncomfortable at first to be separated from me, but Rae was very careful to watch and respond appropriately to her needs to make her feel safe and comfortable. I'm grateful for such a caring sitter away from home and will absolutely use her again.”
“Terez was great, I have a special needs dog and she did so good taking of him. She clearly loves dogs and has a kind way about her with them. Highly recommend her service. She provided regular feedback on the stay and sent some cute pictures of my guy looking comfortable with her”
“Julie is without a doubt the very best. Her kindness, care and understanding of Mojo’s needs was 2nd to none. My dog is now a 6 year old Havadoodle with significant separation issues. He took to Julie immediately on our first meet up and was happy to spend the week with her during my travels. I am so grateful for her many updates throughout each day, with photos that proved Mojo was happy to be in her care. If there was a 10 star review permitted, I would happily give Julie this rating without hesitation. Except for of course the dates that Mojo needs her !”
“We are so happy we found Brian! We reached out to him after being gun-shy for a while because the fabulous sitters we previously found on DogVacay had either moved away or were unavailable. Our little girl is a bit shy, so it was really important to us to find a good fit with someone who is attentive and allows her to be as comfortable as possible. Brian was all of that and then some! His dog, Bob is super laid back and adorable and Brian and his wife were super attentive and super loving. In fact, I actually forgot to tell them that Kona's not great on hardwood stairs and when I asked Brian about it afterwards, he said he noticed her nervousness around the stairs and, without me even asking, had been carrying her up and down them! Talk about attentive and caring! We are so happy to have found Brian and we can't to use them again.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Shane was excellent with Mylo!! He kept us up-to-date with his progress several times a day. Mylo was in great spirits when we got him back! If I need dog sitting service he is the one for us and I’m sure will use his services in the future! THANK YOU Shane!!”
“Nina is so great with my dog Barza! I have booked with her before and Barza always comes home a happy pup! Nina send pictures and updates daily and is super accommodating. Will definitely book again!!”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“India was absolutely the best caretaker of my boy for the weekend! She sent frequent updates and really treated him like her own. Even sent him home with a goodie bag of treats! I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Karen was a gracious and attentive caregiver for our Westie for an eleven-day stay. Karen is obviously very experienced with dogs, and we would happily entrust her with our Katie in the future and heartily recommend her to others.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Nicole was so kind and accommodating to our anxious pup! Her partner and dog of her own allowed me to feel relaxed and at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of while I went away for a weekend.”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Jessica did a great job with our puppy Balto! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures and he loved spending the weekend with her and her dog Kaya! Definitely recommend!”

“Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!”
“Savannah was a great sitter while I was out of town. She completed drop-in visits promptly and was very communicative during them. She provided photo reviews, and my boys LOVED her. 💙”
“Byul (and her husband) were amazing sitters for my cat! Very communicative and sent thorough updates each visit. I felt very comfortable that my cat was in great hands while I was away.”
“Autumn has once again taken great care of our cat. She went above and beyond with her care especially when our cat had an upset stomach. Astro loves Autumn’s visits and it eases our minds that he is well cared for while we are gone.”
“Shekyira was an amazing caretaker for my cat. She fed her on schedule each day and sent photos to negate any anxiety or worries. She is very personable and has a calm spirit which both I and my cat appreciates and welcomes. She will always be my first choice. Much gratitude Shekyira.”
“Quiana did a great job taking care of our kitty, Kaiju! She kept us up to date on how it was going, and made an effort to play with her and make sure she ate all her food. Unfortunately our kitty was still a bit shy and not used to Quiana's presence, but when we got back she seemed very happy and content.”
“Issi is an exceptional cat sitter. She communicates beautifully and provides thoughtful, detailed updates that give you real peace of mind while you’re away. This was our second time booking her, and we’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their pet cared for with genuine love and attention. This trip was our first time leaving Murphy for an extended period, and we’re so glad we had Issi. When we returned, Murphy was calm, happy, and clearly well looked after. It’s evident that Issi went out of her way to provide enrichment and affection — not just meeting Murphy’s basic needs, but truly nurturing her. She also took wonderful care of our home in the process. We’ll absolutely be booking Issi again!”
“3rd time using Kat - the best pet sitter I could ask for! My cat Mia is so happy and comfortable with her. It’s such a relief having a great pet sitter nearby. Kat is so easy to work with, and I never worry when I’m away - she takes such good care of Mia!”
About: I've had a long relationship with cats I absolutely adore them and their different characteristics. I would mix up their food (soft & hard) and warm it up so their stomachs won't hurt and put medicine in it if needed, bathe them, clean and sanitize the litter pan.
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
“Amanda was heaven sent! I requested last minute care for my cat Cashmere, and she delivered. She's great with communication and a joy to work with. Cashmere was happy, and so was I.”
“Melissa was fantastic with our cat Shadow! We couldn’t have been happier. She was super attentive and managed to get our shy cat comfortable in a matter of minutes. Next time we head out of town, we will absolutely give Melissa a call!”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
“Jasmine was very professional and an excellent caretaker for Luna. She followed my exact care instructions and provided constant updates to make sure I knew Luna was comfortable. I highly recommend hiring Jasmine to watch your pet!”
About: I am patient with all animals and worked as a kennel tech for six months and have my own dog who I love very much. I work full time but have availability on weekends to watch pets and drop in and go on walks or just hangout with them too. I would pet them and make sure that they had enough food and water. I would also play with them if the owner wanted me to.
About: I've taken care of multiple cats as a sitter over the last ten years and I currently live with the sweetest boy named Marshmallow. He's very shy, but I've learned to be patient and slow with him. I know cats will be much more comfortable in their own home so house sitting would be no issue for me!

“Jennifer was wonderful with Belle! Usually Belle is a bit apprehensive, but she warmed up from the start. Jennifer was very reassuring and attentive. She took Belle for multiple walks and kept me updated on her progress. She had a ton of toys, which Belle loved. I would definitely use her again.”
“This was a last minute stay & my family was very impressed with the customer service, communication and experience. We felt safe leaving him for the day.”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“We needed someone to look after our dog Archie for the day while we went to an event. We were going for the whole day and wouldn't be returning until the eveing so we didn't want to leave Archie alone for that long. Our usual dog sitter wasn't available on that day so I contacted Brian and another pet sitter on Rover to see if either one could look after him instead. It was a bit last minute (3 days notice) which was my fault for not trying to sort something sooner. The other person didn't even respond to my enquiry but Brian immediately did and said he was available. I made the necessary booking arrangements and Brian was felixable with drop off and pick up times if we needed to nudge them in case of traffic or whatever (we were an hour away). On the day we got sent pictures of Archie and I could see he was having a good time and felt comfortable with Brian in his home and with his dogs. I can definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a dog sitter and was so thankful he was able to take Archie at short notice. Communication was prompt and the pictures he sent reassured us that Archie was doing well. Thank you Brian!”
“Max was really nice and good with my dogs, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and she was comfortable around him, my dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
“Dolce had a great day at Shane’s. He got tons of playtime and came home a tired and happy pup. Communication and updates were fantastic. We look forward to our next visit!”
“Jessica took amazing care of Luna. She was communicative during her stay, sending me photos and letting me know how she was doing. This was very reassuring when using a new pet sitter. Luna also took a liking to her and we look forward to booking again with her.”
About: I have three years old golden doodle. We have scheduled potty walk and play time at least three times per day. I might spoil your dog with good caring ❤️ Morning potty walk / lunch play & walk (30-40mins) / evening play &walk (30-40mins) + before bed time pee walk. Also scheduled meal time after walk. I keep dogs happy but also safe. I normally share photos of your dog regularly to make sure you know your dog’s doing well through Rover app.
“Chris came through at a very critical time for us . This was our first time leaving our Rocky with anyone and we were very nervous of leaving him. But we are very pleased with everything , Chris was very responsive and sent pictures of our dog while we were away .”
“This was the first time leaving my senior pup with Valbona. He's a little skidding after some nigh life changes, but she was so caring and took amazing care of Kent.”
“Iulia is absolutely awesome! My dog, Zeta stayed with Iulia these past two weeks and came home a happy and tired hound. Iulia is professional, has an appropriate business structure with a great play area for the dogs both inside and out. Her process is reassuring, she is reliable and a genuinely great person who takes her doggy day care seriously. Highly recommend!”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I can assist with basic puppy routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and helping reinforce simple training habits. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, medication reminders if needed, and a calm environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also focus on keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured while away from their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m organized and dependable, so I’m able to stay consistent with each pet’s routine and any special instructions provided by owners. I also make sure pets get plenty of love, patience, and companionship, whether that’s active playtime for energetic pets or calm, gentle care for senior animals. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I always make it a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping their normal routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while I’m there. If caring for pets in my own home (if applicable), I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I always prioritize safety by monitoring them closely, providing fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of interaction so they don’t feel lonely or anxious. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are well cared for, happy, and comfortable at all times. Communication with the owner is also important to me, so I provide updates to give peace of mind while they are away.
“Joe made us feel so comfortable, from start to finish! Our guys have never stayed with anyone but family, and they left Joe’s like they’d known him forever. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and plan on booking over and over again! Also, big shout out to Mr. Watson! He is the sweetest pup you will ever meet and welcomed new friends like they were part of his home. Thanks for everything, Joe and Watson!”
“Joanna is a very kind hearted sitter. Drake fell in love with her the first time he meet her. Remi is a cool dude who has confidence and is very friendly. I have zero worries whne Drake is in her care.”

I work remote during the day, messages preferred over phone calls. I am working remote at the time. Messages are preferred over calls.

About: I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your baby! I grew up with/around dogs and have been pet sitting my friends’ dogs for years. My dog, Junie, is an easygoing girl who loves long walks and playtime just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch! We’d love to have your dog join us for fun and relaxation! My dog takes some medicine so I’m comfortable providing all sorts of medicines to your dog and accommodating for any special needs they may have. I always send lots of updates and photos cuz I know how important to me when I’m away from my pup! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be alone all day. I usually take my dog Junie out at least once during the work day but we can adjust based on your pup’s needs! I want your pet to feel at home! He/she will be allowed on the furniture as long as you allow that at home (don’t want to build any bad habits 😊). Junie and I love long walks before and after work and we’d be happy to have your dog join us. There is a dog park about a 10 min walk away that we got to pretty frequently as well. If your baby is more of a couch potato, we can make that work too! My dog, Junie, is very go with the flow and will be happy to do whatever your dog wants to do!

About: Hello! My name is Isa, I’m 26 and live in Maryland. I’ve had pets my whole life, even frogs at one point, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely love. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, reliable, and caring, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. Can’t wait to meet your pet 🐾✨ I’m fully available on weekends and flexible on weekdays. I would be thrilled to spend time with your pets, keeping them happy, loved, and well cared for! I provide care in the client’s home.

I prioritize keeping pets comfortable, happy, and safe while maintaining a clean and calm environment.
“Autumn C is absolutely amazing and takes so much care in my Bailey whenever I’m away. She is very attentive, flexible and caring as Bailey absolutely adores Autumn. She feeds, walks, plays and give plenty of treats and everything always goes well. If you are looking for a person that will take care of your pet please look no further than Autumn C..”
About: Three dogs, three personalities, three very different experiences. I’ve raised and cared for three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood: Nova, an American Cocker Spaniel, Ansel, a Rottweiler, and Coco, a Chocolate Lab. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I know every pup is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Although I have a regular job, pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I’m available during my off-hours for walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to give your pup quality time and attention while you’re away. I value reliability, consistency, and making every visit a positive experience for your dog. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own three dogs. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise, playtime, attention, mental stimulation, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. When caring for your pet, I’ll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, prioritize their safety, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Mandy is such an incredible asset to Rover and we are grateful to have someone like her to look after our dog while we’re at work. Mandy is communicative, respectful, and clearly loves our dog like her own.”
“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
About: Dog owner in the DMV with experience walking friends', families' and neighbors' dogs, providing top notch care. Experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I work from home 4 days a week and depending on my meeting schedule am available for mid-day short walks or drop-ins. Always happy to discuss timing that works for everyone. I abide by the instructions set by the client, but place a premium on pet safety. Pets will not be forced into harnesses until they feel comfortable with me, I take care to make sure no pets escape, and that I leave every home as I found it.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs from a young age, starting with my sweet Golden Retriever, Haley, and helping care for dogs throughout my neighborhood. Dogs have continued to be a big part of my life, both personally and professionally. I’m trained as a facility dog handler, working alongside a dog whose calm presence brings comfort to others, and I’m also the proud owner of a pretty anxious pup who has taught me so much about patience, boundaries, communication, and recognizing individual needs. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of dog body language and the importance of helping each dog feel safe and comfortable. I know not every dog will greet a new person with a wagging tail right away - and that’s completely okay! I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pup is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, or somewhere in between, I’ll meet them where they are and provide plenty of patience, attention, and TLC. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work a full-time position, which leaves weekends and Mondays available; however, I would be willing to do a drop-in visit later in the evenings (~7pm-9pm) for clients in the northern Virginia area. Because my own dog is still hesitant around new people and pups, I currently provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I love that this allows pets to stay in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines while you’re away. I’ll always follow the care instructions and preferences you provide, because you know your pet best! I take the time to understand their routines, boundaries, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels comfortable, consistent, and safe. Building trust is especially important to me, and I’ll always respect your pet’s pace and personality.
About: Walk the dogs and show them love such as playing with them,reading to them,rubbing there belly’s and give them doggy ice cream. Your dog will love it! It’s a good fit for my schedule. Most days I’m at home cooking and cleaning and attending to my needs and as will as your pet needs. I have a open area in the back of my apartment which let them run freely and to they liking. It’s a dog friendly environment.
About: I have some pet care experience having owned two dogs in my childhood. I was responsible for their grooming, walking, and feeding, and I loved playing with them. I also have pet experience with fish, hamsters, and am currently a mother to a very sweet 5 year old kitty. I'm currently taking a leave of absence from working in the Pastry/Baking industry. While I have not worked in pet care full-time, I am an animal lover looking to take care of your furry friends. I will make their safety a priority in client's homes by keeping a close eye on them, as well as making sure they have stimulation and entertainment.
“Karina did great with Brownie! He was so excited to go on walks with her and she even got Brownie some treats along the way. I will definitely have her walk him again in the future.”
“Iveth has been a god-send these past few days. Her experience with the breed was what drew me to her and she has shown me she does truly love dogs. I look forward to having her in my circle.”
“2 walks in one day. Isaiah was sure to be patient with my pup as she is not a fan of the rain. By the 2nd walk she ran back to the door when Isaiah left. She must be ready for a 3rd already!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.
About: Even with just one year of hands-on pet care experience, I stand out because my approach focuses on attentiveness, patience, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I’ve worked with a variety of cats—shy, energetic, senior, and special-needs—and I’ve learned how to build trust quickly through calm interaction, consistent routines, and gentle handling. I’m currently in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, but outside of those hours, my schedule is very flexible. Since I am not working right now, I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and evenings. This allows me to be dependable, responsive, and able to adjust to pet-care needs with plenty of open time. When I’m caring for your dog in your home, my focus is on keeping their routine consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow all instructions closely and treat your space with respect.
About: Hello there, my name is Davey, and I’m an experienced pet caretaker with over 15 years of experience. I live alone and have access to a bark park and local parks, which allows me to provide a safe environment and ample amounts of open fields and stimulating environments for the doggie's. I prioritize the well-being of all furry friends — including cats— by following the habits you have already curated for them; such as meal plans and diets, using familiar commands to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to make sure you return home to a clean and happy home, with a loving caretaker by their side. Some of my furry friends tend to get attached to me quickly and even sit at the doors, waiting for me to return. Overall, I have a deep love for these little furry companions called pets. I’m a full-time remote student and a freelance photographer. I have more than enough flexibility to take care of your little one because I prepare everything on my schedule two weeks in advance. Pets will be completely safe in my hands as I am very attentive and aware, and we are most likely going to be in the same room the whole time. Should anything arise with your furry one I immediately communicate about it and let you know what the issue is and how we got there. of course every case is dependent on the personality of the furry one. I treat your pet as if they are my own if I wouldn’t drink faucet water I wouldn’t give your little one faucet water. We’re kind of bougie over here.

“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Terez was great, I have a special needs dog and she did so good taking of him. She clearly loves dogs and has a kind way about her with them. Highly recommend her service. She provided regular feedback on the stay and sent some cute pictures of my guy looking comfortable with her”
“Julie is without a doubt the very best. Her kindness, care and understanding of Mojo’s needs was 2nd to none. My dog is now a 6 year old Havadoodle with significant separation issues. He took to Julie immediately on our first meet up and was happy to spend the week with her during my travels. I am so grateful for her many updates throughout each day, with photos that proved Mojo was happy to be in her care. If there was a 10 star review permitted, I would happily give Julie this rating without hesitation. Except for of course the dates that Mojo needs her !”
“We are so happy we found Brian! We reached out to him after being gun-shy for a while because the fabulous sitters we previously found on DogVacay had either moved away or were unavailable. Our little girl is a bit shy, so it was really important to us to find a good fit with someone who is attentive and allows her to be as comfortable as possible. Brian was all of that and then some! His dog, Bob is super laid back and adorable and Brian and his wife were super attentive and super loving. In fact, I actually forgot to tell them that Kona's not great on hardwood stairs and when I asked Brian about it afterwards, he said he noticed her nervousness around the stairs and, without me even asking, had been carrying her up and down them! Talk about attentive and caring! We are so happy to have found Brian and we can't to use them again.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Nina is so great with my dog Barza! I have booked with her before and Barza always comes home a happy pup! Nina send pictures and updates daily and is super accommodating. Will definitely book again!!”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“They were great! Very responsive and took care of my dog! I had a severe delay in my travel plans and they graciously allowed my dog to stay an extra night which really took a lot of stress off for me. Will absolutely use them again.”
“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”
“Brittany did a fantastic job taking care of my dog, Frito. She provided daily photo and video updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Frito was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for during his stay. Brittany was very communicative, kind, and easy to work with. Her daughter was wonderful with Frito too, and they quickly became best buds. I would gladly trust Brittany to watch Frito again.”
“Eli was amazing! He helped us out with a very last-minute sitting request, and we’re so grateful. He was incredibly kind and caring with our dog, proactively communicated throughout the stay, and sent us lots of photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend Eli and would absolutely book with him again!”
“Yomi was an awesome sitter!! She took amazing care of Casper and he was more happy and calm than I have ever seen away from home. I got lots of cute pictures and know he got lots of love while with Yomi and Corey!”
“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“First time stay for my two dogs but I needn't have worried. Russ and his family clearly took great care of them! Lots of walks and playtime with his dogs. They looked very happy in the many great pictures and videos that he sent. Definitely will book again.”
“Emmanuel was amazing! My pups had such a great time with him! You always hope that whoever you leave your fur babies with will treat them like you treat them. Emmanuel was this person! He gave Daisy all the pets she needed and Baxter all the new sticks he craved for. He interpreted Baxter’s “dog talk” which gave me the peace of mind that he cares deeply and provides the attention my pups needed. Highly recommend Emmanuel!”
