1. Diane B.
“Diane took wonderful care of my Golden Retriever Zoey. She sent lots of pictures and gave updates on how Zoey was doing. I will definitely use her again.”


2. Kim G.

“I was so happy I chose Kim and her family to watch my boy Teddy for his home away from home for 10 days. As soon as we met I knew it was the place for him. They have a dog friendly house and most important for him he was allowed to snooze on the couch like he does at home. He was happy and I would say enjoyed his stay and TLC. Excellent communication and I will happily book again with this wonderful family.”


3. Chong R.

“We did a meet and greet a few days before and Winston liked Ms Chong and the other small dogs right away. I like that she only watches the little ones. He was there over the long holiday weekend for 4 nights. She was great at sending a few photos everyday. I will definitely book with her for future vacations. You can tell she has a love for dogs!🐶💙”


4. Kathryn G.

“She was absolutely wonderful! I had no doubt the pups got the love they deserved! She even made some homemade dog treats for them as a surprise! 10/10 would recommend”




5. Angie B.

“Angie has such a great home and I think Otis would move there if he could! He found his new bestie in Charlie Brown and had an absolute blast. We felt so comforted knowing he was in the best hands.”


6. Lucy H.

“Lucy is the best! She always sends updates and takes the best care of Dewey. I appreciate her care and dedication to taking care of my dog when I’m away”


7. Kym W.


“Kym & Tom were absolutely wonderful taking care of our two dogs during a weeklong vacation. As they said, it was a vacation for Leo and Teddy too. They were totally chill when we picked them up and obviously well taken care of. Kym provided great updates and pictures every day which added to our comfort level and really keyed into each dog's personality. I really appreciate their extra special touches in text updates and attentiveness. Thanks very much Kym!”


8. Darcey J.

“This is our second time booking with Darcey. She truly wants to take the time to understand your dog’s quirks, and was so gentle and patient with ours. I loved getting her photo updates—it was comforting to see our dog so happy in the photos she sent. She was also very professional, always punctual and quick to answer any questions I had. If you need a caring, reliable dog sitter, Darcey is fantastic.”


9. Audra & Mark G.

“Audra & Mark were very prompt to respond to all my questions, they were able to accommodate my dog very quickly when I needed last minute help, he was in very good hands! Thank you so much for helping with Simba! :)”


10. Taryne E.

“Taryne too care of my furbaby perfectly. She was very kind, gentle and her son was a perfect buddy with Simba. She took time to send me many pictures from the day and kept me updated about Simba. I was able to travel without stress because of Taryne. I will definitely be reaching out to her again when I travel and Simba need a vacation home. Thanks Taryne and Zane. Simba misses you both.”


11. Racell A.

“Racell was just the best. My long-time and regular boarder/daycare sitter became unavailable unexpectedly and Racell was willing to take my little guy on fairly short notice. She provided updates and I could tell that my pup felt very safe and secure with her and her. He is 16 years old, so it was comforting to me to know he was relaxed and comfortable with her and her family. He will be back!”


12. amy r.
“We are so happy to have found Amy to watch over our our two pups! She kept us informed with text messages and photos and felt that she really got to know our dogs and what each of them both needed to feel comfortable. Drop off and pick up was easy peasy. We could tell the dogs really enjoyed staying with her and we look forward to the next time :-) Highly recommend Amy!!”


13. Mckennah N.

“McKennah was amazing as always, taking care of our Larry on a last minute notice. He came back acting like he had an amazing time and looking well. She made sure he wasn't overheated during this heatwave, and finished with a treat.”


14. Eman & Robby A.

“I could not be happier with the care Eman & Robby gave my little Max during his stay. They definitely made being away from Max easier by providing me with updates. Not only did they keep him safe, but they also provided plenty of attention and play time. Thank you Eman & Robby! Max can not wait to stay over again!”


15. April M.

“April was fantastic with our girl! We had great communication and she sent us many pictures, so we knew Daisy was having a great time! Thank you!”




16. Carrie T.


“It was my first time ever to use dogvacay, even to leave my dog with anybody but friends or family, so i was very hesitant and anxious. Carrie was able to walk me through it during the meet and greet and was able to put myself at ease. I looked forward to the daily pictures she sent me and was glad to see my dog having a great time. At the end of the vacay, she gives a postcard picture which i was very happy to receive. Goes to show she understands the little things can go a long way. Will definitely have carrie again.”


17. Marta B.

“Our Labrador Nova seemed to love Marta and her dog, and definitely enjoyed her backyard and pool! Marta provided multiple pictures every day which we appreciated. We hope to use her again in the future!”


18. Christopher N.

“Always so thankful for Christopher! He takes great care of Rocco and it gives me such peace of mind when I have to leave him behind on a long trip :)”


19. Diana E.

“We had the most amazing experience with Diana and her husband. They were so gracious to watch my pup last minute during the holidays and were so patient and loving towards her. I felt so comfortable leaving my loved one with them. My shy, “Covid pup” had great socializing-time with the other dogs and came home happier and even more well behaved thanks to the time spent with Diana.”


20. Kristen S.

“Kristen is so great! Our dog had an amazing time and came home very relaxed and happy. Kristen sent many pictures and kept us updated throughout the stay. We will definitely book with her again in the future.”
