DogVacay.com – Dog Boarding Community

I can’t say enough about our care our Dog received from Ashley. Thank You for making it easy for us to leave our Daisy with you. And Thank You DogVacay for this service available.

my 1^st experience as a host was over the top, for customer service & the client

Just had a fabulous experience with
. Our sitter was Andrea S in North Phoenix, just a short distance from our home. Andrea and Jim are wonderful hosts with a welcoming home/​yard and caring attitude. They took great care of our shy little rescue pup and did everything possible to make her stay safe and fun. We got photo updates and messages regularly during our trip so we knew she was having a good time! We give our hosts a definite 5-​star rating and will be calling them again any time we need someone to watch over our furry kid.

So glad we found DogVacay, we’ve used it for over a year and love the service.
Maria at Full Love is the BEST pet sitter we have ever found!
She’s so understanding, patient and kind. When we met at her home she listened to all of our requests and we let her know of our hesitations (very bad previous experiences leaving our 2 dogs with «nanny’s»). She honored our request not to have our dogs with other pets as it is too stressful for our older dog. She has always respected this and has even helped by offering suggestions after some observations of their behavior.
Our girls love seeing her, playing in the backyard and going on walks with Maria.
We’ve left our dogs with her many times over the past year and have always positive experiences. I have no hesitation in passing along a great review for great service.

We’ve been using DogVacay for the last 2 years and we love it. Instead of a kennel, our puppies stay with a caring family and play with their dogs and other guests. We get photo updates, which is fantastic. Our dogs have such a great time that they don’t have a chance to miss us. I recommend this service over a kennel to everyone.

We had our 4-​year-​old Cavalier Spaniel stay with Suzy Q from DogVacay and he had a great time. She was so sweet, genuine, and attentive to the doggies in her care. She sent us updates by text to let us know how our little guy was doing, and he came home very happy… except that he missed Suzy! Her home is clean, comfortable, and safe – it’s all about the dogs. We just loved her and would recommend her to anyone wanting to rest easy knowing that their dogs are well looked-​after while they’re out of town.

Velma and Ozzy at Poppy’s Place were terrific! My small Shih Tzu has never stayed with a service like this, is an only kid and I usually have my friends drop in and take care of him while I am out of town. In an attempt to give them a break, socialize Chewy to other dogs and with my mothers recommendation, I took Chewy to stay with Poppy’s Place for 5 days. Velda was kind upon the initial «meet and greet» and I liked the exciting vacation home she provided for Chewy equipped with several water bowls in the backyard, live chickens, a mini swimming pool, and lounge chairs! After dropping him off, getting daily photos kept my mind at ease that he was enjoying himself and daily email reports allowed me to feel like I was there with him. She was excellent to work with and I would recommend services to all!

We had such a such a great experience with Dog Vacay’s «Paws on Pet Sitting” — Maureen M in New River, AZ. We were so nervous when we left our pups at Maureen’s — our first Dog Vacay experience! Don’t get me wrong, we had a meet-​and-​greet prior to Cali’s and Tuzi’s stay, and Maureen was warm and friendly and so kind and interested in the girls and her home was such a nice set-​up (we secretly call it «Doggie Dude Ranch»!) that we decided to test the Dog Vacay waters and Maureen. What can I say? It was a wonderful experience from drop-​off to pick-​up. Maureen texted us daily photos and a few lines about our girls — she even sent a video so we could see that Tuzi was happily chasing balls like maniac. In all the photos, the girls seemed relaxed and comfortable and playing or lounging, depending on their personality. When we picked them up, they were happy to see us — but not frantic like they often were after a stay at the kennel, where they spent their days contained in a cement pen with 100 other dogs barking madly. They were like: «Oh, you’re here? Well, okay…» I guess Tuzi made a friend, Maisie, and we are even going to see about Tuzi dropping by for a play-​date next time Maisie stays, so the two girls can get together and frolic. I absolutely recommend Maureen and thank her so much for her wonderful care of our fur-​kids. I am not sure I was effusive enough at pick-​up, we were a little zoned after a twelve hour drive! But thank you-​thank you-​thank you, Maureen!

I’ve used several hosts for my dog through DogVacay, and each has been great! Site is easy to use and quick to book. Great for when I have to travel for work.

DogVacay is a tremendous resource when it comes to boarding your pets. In home service and attention with most hosts. I use Beth in Surprise and she is always there when we need her to care for our dog when we go out of town. Sign up and check out the hosts in your neighborhood. Do a meet & greet to see how they interact with your pet. Better then boarding at a kennel or vet.

We love dogvacay. My parents used them when they brought their rowdy Golden Retrievers from Indiana and the dogs stayed at a host and let us go visit whenever we wanted. We just had a great experience with Leigh in Scottsdale who take super care of our puppy – she has a huge yard and it’s reassuring to know that a real family is taking care of your dog instead of leaving them cooped up in a boarding facility, or exposed to lots of other dogs for such a long period of time.

Both my husband and I are out of the home Monday-​Friday during the day for our jobs, and I feel terrible leaving my dog (Patches) alone all day. I’ve tried dog boarding daycare facilities in the past, and I never felt like my dog really enjoyed being around SO many dogs. I was trying to find a place where my dog could be around maybe one or two other dogs, and I came across
! I honestly feel so much better knowing that Patches isn’t overwhelmed like she probably used to be. Happy pup, happy pup-​parents :)

Love these guys. Headed to LA for a couple weeks and they took care of my kitty, Mara. She was fed, played with and litter box was cleaned daily. I even got photo updates of her, she looked like such a happy camper!
I will definitely use again. Much easier than convincing friends to help out when my cat had such a specific diet. Dogvacay was great
