DogVacay.com – Dog Boarding Community

I have used DogVacay twice and have been absolutely happy with the in-​home personal attention our dog gets. The first time I used the service was for a last minute situation and we were able to find someone in the neighborhood willing to take him the next morning. His caregiver was great and friendly and took our active Weim out on walks and sent a few photos. I wanted to use Ben again, for our second stay, but due to a change in his household circumstances he put his post on hold. This led us to find Jing (Jenny) and her husband. They were awesome too! They had a great lab who played non-​stop with our weim. Jenny sent tons of photos and since this trip wasn’t last minute, we did a meet and greet beforehand. It’s obvious our dog had a ton of love, playtime and walks — he came home a tired and happy pup! We will definitely keep using DogVacay and hopefully Jenny again.

Great experience with the pet-​sitter I selected. The only minor complaints I have are that many of the people to whom I reached out didn’t respond at all, or simply denied my request for meet & greet without offering explanation or alternative dates/​times, or admitted they hadn’t updated their availability and actually weren’t available at all. The site and service is great otherwise.

My very senior lab had never stayed away from home or family until last week. It was nerve-​wracking thinking of where to leave her and whom to leave her with. I had seen ads for DogVacay and decided to give it a try.
I was appreciative that my inquires were responded to quickly and that I found Tiffany! She was great with Buffy! When I returned to pick Buff up, she was happy, but in no hurry to leave her new friends.
I recommend DogVacay without hesitation.

Awesome website! Used doggy Vaca for my family’s most recent vacation. They set me up with an affordable dog sitter who turned out to be amazing and 100% worth every single penny! I highly recommend them when taking your vacation and have to leave your fur babies behind!

I don’t like leaving my dogs ever but my work does require me to be on the road every once in a while. Since moving to this area a few months ago I have used a boarding facility once. While they were nice enough people I didn’t feel like my dogs got any attention. I was referred to DogVacay by a coworker & tried it for the first time last week — I love it! I totally recommend this site to anyone who cares about your pets.

My recently adopted pup does not get along with other dogs, i’ve had a great experience with dog vacay and have been able to find dogsitters who do not have other resident dogs, to give him the solo attention he needs. Definitely recommend if you are in a similar boat or if you just want to save $$$

Dog vacay is a fantastic idea! It is a trustworthy company — I know my dogs are in good hands because I get to choose my petsitter based on the reviews that others have posted about them, their profile and even picture of themselves. I have found sitters just minutes from my house. It is awesome for people that need last minute petsitters and the price is reasonable and cheaper then dog boarding. It has worked great for me! =) They keep you informed and are very responsive when you message them! My dogs have seemed to enjoyed their time spent with their sitters! I definitely recommend them!

I dont normally run on last minute trips, but in this recent case I did. I quickly scrambled to find a dog-​sitting solution and luckily, I was recommended by a friend to check out DogVacay. Im a little hesitant to leave my pup anywhere because I dont know whats worst, leaving them behind with weird strangers or stepping on their foot (both are guilt trips though), but after speaking with these guys, I could tell my pup would be in good hands.
DogVacay was super professional, communication was on point, they know dogs, and most of all, they LOVE DOGS. DogVacay is on the top of my list and I definitely recommend their services!

After getting a puppy, I was a little bit anxious about having to find dog boarding options that would suit his nervous personality. After booking with a
sitter for the first time, all my fears melted away. Scout LOVES going to the pet sitter’s house & she has two giant dogs that play with him all day long. Bonus, my sitter even helps me with training when I’m gone!

I only come to Seattle when visiting my family, but that’s when I get to spend time with my beautiful husky Belle, and Gala the golden! :) This past Christmas, my family tried booking a last-​minute weekend trip and almost needed to cancel because all of the local dog hotels were completely booked for the holidays. Thankfully, my friend told me to check out
, and it was such a lifesaver! I never even know of the service before, but we were able to find an amazing dog-​sitter in Bellevue who was more than excited to take care of our beautiful dogs! I used to think that the dog hotel was the best care for my pups (they do emphasize «luxury» after all), but after my recent experience with Dogvacay, I know that they can stay in a loving home :) Both Belle and Gala loved meeting new friends and also running and playing in their backyard!

Our dog is almost 12 years old and until a few months ago we never even thought of boarding him. Family from Los Angeles told us about DogVacay so we checked the Seattle site, interviewed sitters and we have been so happy with Kelly. It’s great to know you can feel your very special and important family member will be safe and happy while you’re away. Thanks!

I am so pleased with this organization and the care that they give to pets and their owners.
I have a good friend who finally had the peace of mind to take a trip and leave her beloved dogs behind. She got reassuring emails daily. I only wish there was a DogVacay located near me!

I would absolutely recommend DogVacay to anyone looking for a safe place to leave their fur baby while they’re away. It’s quick and easy to search for hosts, I love that you can get really specific in the type of home and host you’re looking for. I was able to find someone who lived less than a mile away from me, who had no other pets and who loved dogs just as much as I do.
I received pictures and updates daily about what my dog was up to, my host was very responsive, asked detailed questions about my pet and answered all of my questions I had for her.
I’ll be using DogVacay again next time I need to go out of town and can’t take my pet with me.

I usually have a friend of mine dog sit when I head out of town, but unfortunately, this particular friend was out of town at the same time. I heard from a friend that
had helped them find a pet sitter quickly, so I gave it a shot.
All I can say is that it was super easy to find someone (fairly last minute) to watch Boomer. John kept him at his place in Wallingford and sent me photos of them at the dog park while I was away. I liked that.
I was hesitant, because I don’t like leaving my dog with strangers, but it worked out really well and I’d definitely use it again in the future if I came into the same situation.
Nothing but good things to say.
