I love Dogvacay! No way would I ever board my fur baby when I can find someone on Dogvacay who has a fenced in yard, gives my pup plenty of exercise, sends me pictures of him while I'm away, and most importantly, loves and takes care him like their own pet!

I've only used one sitter so far, but my experience has been terrific. So much better than over crowded, over priced boarding facilities!

We have been DogVacay hosts for over a year (Sanibel Happy Tails) Sanibel, Fl. So we of course want to use a fellow DogVacay when we travel.

works really well

We have boarded our dog in 3 DogVacay homes and have been very pleased each time. The caregivers are dog lovers and they treat your dog as though he were their own. The home setting is infinitely better than a loud kennel where the dog is crated or contained for long periods. Thank you for this option, DogVacay!

My pup seemed to love his dog vacay. I received photos twice a day showing him playing and having a good time. It helped me stay at peace knowing he was in good hands. When I picked him up (after 9 days) he was freshly bathed and smelling good. He also came home with better manners and no longer had a fear of the water! My host not only loves dogs (was very obvious to me) but also knows how to train them. You cannot get this level of personalized attention at a typical dog shelter.

Marina and Denise were great hosts for my dog Oreo. It is not just the peace of mind knowing that my dog was in capable, experienced hands while I was away, but also that he was having a great time as well, running the trails with Denise, playing with the other pups and being cared for in their beautiful home. Thak-you Marina and Denise!
