“This was our first experience using DogVacay. We had excellent communication with Nicole, Jim and family from our initial enquiry and throughout Gilda's week long stay. It was clear from the daily photos, movies and updates that Gilda had a wonderful time and felt very comfortable. She had plenty of opportunities for play and exercise. When our pick up plans changed unexpectedly, Nicole was flexible and helpful. Thank you for taking such great care of Gilda. She loves the homemade dog treats.”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Jona! She recently cared for our two 4-year-old pugs, Ozzy and Otis, and it was truly the best pet-sitting experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, Jona went above and beyond. She kept us updated frequently with messages and pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every update that our pugs were not only being well cared for, but also genuinely loved. Both Ozzy and Otis can be a handful at times, but Jona handled everything with patience, kindness, and professionalism. Coming home, we were greeted by two very happy, relaxed pugs—which says everything you need to know. Jona treated them as if they were her own, and that level of care means the world to us. We wholeheartedly recommend Jona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate sitter. She has set the standard so high that we can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our boys!”
“This was our first time ever using a sitter, and Carlos put us at ease right off the bat during the initial meeting. He was receptive to our concerns (our dog is 12), and let us know that our dog was in good hands. During our dog’s 4-day stay with Carlos, we got numerous updates during each day with pictures and summaries. Our dog looked so happy to be with Carlos and Sasha! Carlos was also willing to accommodate a late pickup on the final day due to flight issues, which we really appreciated. He even wrote us a very sweet and heartfelt message thanking us for entrusting our dog to his care. I can’t recommend Carlos enough, and we will definitely be back if we need a sitter in the future.”
“Royce had such a great experience! She was very communicative the entire time and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I could tell he was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Asia was wonderful! She took such great care of my pup! I could tell he had a fun time. She was communicative throughout his stay and sent really cute pictures!”
“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.”
“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Our dog Sonny stayed with Aisha for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. We were very grateful for her daily reports - she provided a lot of thoughtful commentary about our dog's behavior and numerous picture updates. From our meet and greet to drop off and pickup, Aisha was an absolute pleasure to work with and it's easy to understand why she has so many repeat customers. We 100% recommend her and look forward to another opportunity to board!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Kelly. She was very responsive and provided photos throughout his stay. He arrived home the next day and napped for hours, which is a sign for our energetic dog how much fun he had with Kelly! We will definitely use her again!”
“Vincent was wonderful! Asked all the right questions and was dedicated about learning about our dog’s routine and personality. He sent daily updates which made my wife and I feel so much better an easier about being away from our pup. When we picked up Simba, he was relaxed and happy. I will definitely book Vincent again when we travel and highly recommend him.”
“Truffle had an amazing time with Sweta. Sweta did a great job of communicating with me throughout the stay. She provided descriptions about how my pup was doing, sent pictures and even took videos. She provided a list of things that she encouraged me to pack for him and she followed the information I shared about what Truffle likes. We look forward to working with Sweta again!”
“Eli had a fantastic time with Carolina. He has never been boarded and we had never used Rover, Carolina reassured us that he was in great care and gave us frequent updates. Even gave Eli a new toy to bring home because he loved it so much while with her.”
“Christine took great care of Douglas! I loved the updates Christine provided throughout Douglas’s stay. Douglas was a happy camper when I picked him up. He barely wanted to leave. A good sign of a good weekend! Don’t hesitate to book with Christine. 😊”
“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Sophie and Austin did an AMAZING job caring for our pups. We felt a peace of mind throughout our trip thanks to frequent pics/videos and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Fig had a great time with Jackie. I received lots of pictures to let me know how things were going. I like that she required a pre-stay meet and greet to make sure both parties were comfortable with the arrangement. I will definitely book Jackie in the future.”
“Rosario went above and beyond to take care of Buster when he wasn’t feeling his best. She is a great sitter and obviously cares about the dogs she watches.”

About: After experiencing major forms of animal neglect in Richmond Virginia, I have grown to love cats. I didn’t quite understand them at first, but I now spend everyday thinking about how I can make sure these living beings receive not only basic levels of food, water, liter, and shelter, but unconditional love and consistency they deserve.

“Lizabeth provided truly exceptional care for our puppy, Rocky. This was my very first time leaving him, and I was naturally anxious, but Lizabeth immediately put my mind at ease. She was fantastic at keeping me updated, sending frequent photos and messages about how Rocky was doing throughout the stay. Beyond just routine updates, Lizabeth demonstrated genuine concern when Rocky wasn't eating his food normally, and she immediately reached out to communicate her observations and discuss solutions. Her proactive communication, attentiveness, and evident love for animals made this a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Lizabeth to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and detail-oriented pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Erin has been watching my little Obi on a weekly recurring basis for the last couple months. Obi is so excited when he sees me grab his bag. When I drop him off I feel like he is with someone who will love him as I would. She is excellent at sharing his day after each visit as well as pics. It is so comforting to know he is with Erin when I have to go into the office. I don’t worry about Obi because he is in great hands.”

“She is amazing and so welcoming. She made sure my baby was taken care of, sent pictures and videos. I love her personality. She doesn’t play about the safety and care. Louie will definitely continue to go back to DaShundra”
“Christin took such wonderful care of Vinny! We received regular updates with messages and photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Vinny was clearly so happy and comfortable with her — they went on walks, and she was flexible with a later evening pickup.

“Brianna is a great dog walker!! She is very quick to respond to messages and took the lead organizating the meet and greet. She was available on pretty short notice, which was such a relief. Brianna was immediately comfortable with my 150lb dog, which means she is comfortable with any dog! She is a great dog walker and I will be using her regularly!”
“Joanna is the definition of going above and beyond. She’s been working on my dog’s recall, takes her on lovely long walks, and I’ve saved so many of the pictures she takes. She goes so far as to refill my treat jar at my house when she sees that it’s empty and makes sure my girl has water and a treat before she leaves. I work long hours and travel a lot. I have no idea how I’d manage without her!”

About: I’ve loved caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From dogs and hamsters to turtles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a variety of pets throughout my life. Caring for animals has allowed me to build strong relationships and trust with family, friends, and neighbors who rely on me to look after their beloved companions. As I’ve grown older, my love for every living creature has only deepened, and that passion shines through in the care I provide. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and happy while you are away! I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University! Though I am looking for fellowships, I would love to spend time caring for any pets that need some quality time and attention. I drive a small fiat, and will arrive and enter property per specific pet instructions! I will always make sure to keep a cleanly space and leave everything as it was, while also guaranteeing your loved one is set up before my departure.

Arlo loves her and is always very excited to see her. She has also given us some good tips about how to get Arlo to better behaved. We are so glad to have found Heather. What a sweet and thoughtful person!”

I do have a crate that I can set up in case they need a den like atmosphere. My apartment has a small dog park I can take them to if they get along with other pups. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with plenty of dogs around. We would also go for some walks and watch some TV on the couch.
