We were very pleased with our host Daniel and can give nothing but praise for watching our babies! I was a lil skeptic about services like this and leaving my dog in the care of a stranger....yet we do that when they first get groomed, first get shots, first get to find a friend in a dog park so why now? They are our babies and we only want the best and we found that in Daniel. He even gave Nicholas his eye drops for us and let them sleep out of cage or on his bed....a true dog lover! Julie

I was in an emergency situation and needed a first-time dogsitter for my energetic Schnauzer. Went on line to search for dog sitters, and DogVacay came up. It was soooo simple to use and saved me from what could have been a stressful situation.

I had to get a sitter for my puppy really last minute and this is a great way to find a qualified person to take care of your dog. I had an outstanding experience and will continue to use them in the future. Thanks dog vacay!

And don't want to. We became DogVacay hosts two years ago when we had trouble finding someone/place to leave our pup while we went on our honeymoon. The kennel left the half grown pup alone in her crate for 12 hrs - too long - each night for 3 nights! We have soooo enjoyed being hosts, and have used it for our own pups. The dogs become one of the family, with love, hugs, play and couch time, just like your puppy. Our pups love having "friends" come play with them, or going over to our preferred host for their own vacay. AND it's a great way to make extra money. A dream job for me!!!

I used to cancel trips when I couldn't find anyone to take care of my dog, Lexi. Usually, my sister would keep her for me but, one time, she had plans during that time. I searched and searched for someone but, most of the places I found would have your pet in a small cage or kennel with no one around for 23 hours a day. That was not acceptable to me and, I almost cancelled my plans again. Then I found DogVacay. I had no idea there was a network of real people who would take your dog into their homes and treat them like a guest. This is the greatest thing! I've used a "host" named Darin five times now. He's great! He sends texts with pictures and an occasional video to let me know how Lexi is doing. I get something very important from DogVacay and, that's peace of mind. I honestly don't feel like I need to worry about Lexi while we're out of town. If you need to go out of town and, you can't take your dog, you've got to try it. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I have used boarding services in the past when my family and I went on vacation. They were expensive and impersonal. With DogVacay, we get to meet hosts, read reviews, and decide on what's best for our pet before we go. The price is often HALF of what a boarding service would charge. We are able to place our dog with boarders who have plenty of experience, spend time with our animal playing, cuddling, etc., and we get frequent updates, including pictures, of how our pet's stay is progressing.

Be honest with your story of who you are and what your dog is like, ask questions about the environment, sleeping arrangements and outdoor time. Ask questions! If the first one isn't a match then next one might be. Great people, love this service.

If you are in Palm Beach Gardens, FL....go see Laura F. - she is terrific and made my vacation stress free!!!
