DogVacay.com – Dog Boarding Community

Great first experience with Dog Vacay! I’d recommend this service to anyone who travels and needs to board their dogs. I used Patrice with «Sit and Stay» in St. Peters. I’ll never board my dogs in a kennel again. Can’t say enough about how wonderful she was and how pleased I am to know my dogs were taken care of just like I would at home, while I was away. Thank you so much Patrice! :)

I found dogvacay through one of those annoying adds on Facebook but what a find this one was. Out of curiosity I clicked on it and found a whole new way to board my dogs when I have to leave town. I have used 3 different hosts from DogVacay that all live within 20 miles of my home and all 3 have been wonderful with the dogs and very accommodating for drop-​off and pick-​up. Some have cats, others have kids, but the dogs have had fun and been pampered every time.
I have recommended this site and these hosts to others and would highly recommend this method of boarding to anybody over the old kennel and crate methods of boarding. This way your dog is still enjoying the company of humans and getting lots of activity rather than being cooped up for 20+ hours a day. The cost is much cheaper than every dollar they charge you to just look in your dogs direction at regular kennels.
I know not all kennels are bad but they have so many dogs and not enough people to give this kind of attention. I always felt so guilty leaving dogs at the regular kennels and now I almost feel jealous (especially when I have to go visit family and they get to play with other dogs). :-)

We were visiting family friends in Saint Louis when we got invited on a last-​minute trip to Vegas! They have a dog, so it was now a huge priority to figure out where to board the pup. I knew about Dog Vacay (
) and suggested it to my friends because I’ve heard awesome things. A lot of the people who board dogs do it to make a little extra cash, but really because they LOVE dogs and pet sitting and if they get to have a fun weekend with an extra furry friend, why not? So, my friends found a great family to leave their dog with and we got to take our trip after all! It worked out awesome, they even said the person watching the dog sent pics and notes to them during the trip. If we ever need somewhere to turn for dog sitting, I’m using DogVacay!

DogVacay is noses and tails above a kennel! We love that our puppy is in a homey environment and we even get texted photos while we are away. I tell everyone about DogVacay. This fine service makes me feel okay about taking a trip, going to a long wedding, help during a hospital stay and anything else that might come up!

My friend used
for her cat and it seems to be a really great service. Her cat was very well taken care of, and I will definitely use it in the future for my dogs. The website is really easy to navigate and has all the information you could need to choose a dogsitter; I’ve already scoped out future dogsitters for myself!

We found DogVacay when my husband and I were going out of own for a week and needed someone to watch our 1 yo Australian Shepherd Mix. Searching the site was easy to see who was available, their level of experience, pictures of were he’d be staying, and their prices. We found a great couple to watch him that had a fenced yard for him to play– he had more room than he has at our house! We got an update (with picture) in the middle of the week and he can home happy & exhausted! We already plan to use them again this summer!
