“River had a great stay with Rosan. He had a great time playing with his dog Oggie. Rosan sent pictures every day and we were confident that he was in great hands. Highly recommend.”
“John was a fantastic sitter for our very energetic puppy. He provided us with updates multiple times a day and took great care of her. It was so nice to know our little pup was in great hands and had John’s own dogs to play with.”
“Christina and Jason were great with my girls. I received pictures of them daily along with descriptions of their daily activities. They kept my girls busy and happy. I would highly recommend them.”
“Nicole was an absolutely incredible sitter! Our boy Felix had a blast staying with her while we went skiing. She sent us frequent updates and was extremely communicative and accommodating and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy with the dog sitter and we were feeling nervous but Jackie did a good job with our puppy. He played with him to make him feel relaxed. He also sent daily photos updates and great communication.”
“Shannon was amazing with our pup! She clearly loves animals and made sure to ask about our dog’s needs and preferences. Even with a personal emergency, she communicated and made sure everything worked out. Would happily book her again!”
“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”
“What a tremendous experience we had with Laura and her family. We recently relocated to the greater Burlington area and were so fortunate to find Laura through DogVacay. We were used to having a neighbor stay in our home when we were on vacation and this is the first time our dogs have stayed in another home - so, we weren't sure how they would settle in. About two-weeks before our trip we took "the kids" to meet Laura and her family for a "bark-n-greet" visit. She explained how things worked, we met their dog, they showed us the area and it was evident that she and her husband both love dogs very much. Their dog was great and all three got on well. When the time came for us to drop them off the night before the trip both my wife and I had full confidence that we could go and enjoy ourselves without any worries. We brought, at Laura's urging, the dog beds, bowls, food, and toys. We received regular daily photo updates, via text messages, from Laura that gave us peace of mind and made us laugh at how well they had settled in. Our dogs had a great time. Our older dog had to have daily meds administered and that went off without a hitch. They went on walks, went to the dog park, and became 50-pound "lap-dogs" during their time with Laura and her family. I wasn't sure they wanted to come back home! We highly recommend Laura and will be using her services again and again.”
“Brooke was an amazing sitter for our dog, Huck. She was quick to respond, sent updates while we were away, and provided a comforting environment for our anxious pup. Huck seemed to get along really well with her dog, and we could tell he was tired and happy when we went to pick him up. Would highly recommend Brooke and we would love to work with her again in the future!”
“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”
“Piper was absolutely wonderful! We were super hesitant to leave our boy with someone we didn’t know but after meeting her and seeing how attentive, and caring she already was - it was easy! I was sent so many photos/updates on how he was doing, and she was able to sneak in a pup photo shoot for us last minute! Our boy seemed to not even want to go home after his stay lol. Safe to say we will be absolutely be using Piper’s services for the future ?”
