Do you own a dog? As you all know, we do. We also frequently travel and actively seek someone to watch Daisy while away. DogVacay is an online community that connects dog owners with over 20,000 vetted and insured pet sitters across North America, ready to care for your dog like a family member. That is what every dog owner is looking for! I want my dog to roam freely instead of being confined in a cage while we are away. All reservations include free pet insurance, 24/7 customer support, and daily photo updates of your pup enjoying a “Vacay” of his own. You can finally travel with peace of mind — at half the price of the local kennel!
Here is how it works:
- Type in your zip code and find a PAWesome sitter in your neighborhood.
- Schedule a meet ‘n greet to meet your Host, then book your pup’s Vacay and pay online.
- You can now travel knowing your pup is having the time of his life in a loving home (aff) with one-on-one attention!
- Receive photo updates showcasing your pup's enjoyment, and rest assured with free pet insurance and 24/7 customer care covering each vacation.
How awesome does that sound for your dog? Like a vacation that they will love while you are away, right?
I also know that I have readers thinking, “Hey, I could do that and earn a few extra bucks!” DogVacay Hosts from all over have said that this has helped them spend more time with their families, pay for school, and save up for weddings or travel. Hosting pups on DogVacay is a low-stress way to do what you love.
Whether you're a professional dog sitter or just a regular dog lover, DogVacay makes it easy to earn money watching pups. Create a free profile, set your rates, and decide which dogs to take and when to take them. They do the rest! Need help? The Host Happiness Team dedicates itself to assisting you with tasks ranging from changing profile pictures to managing emergencies.
Where do you leave your dog when you go on vacation? Would you use a service like DogVacay when you travel?
My dog is a complete spaz, so he does better with family than in a kennel.
My dog just doesn’t get along with other dogs. She sees them walking down the street from my screen door and she throws a fit because they’re in her territory. LOL She’s just too funny. She starts growling and snorting and just gets in a tizzy! LOL I never leave the door open anymore.
what a great way for college student or people without kids to make extra money too.
This sounds great. We have 2 cats and when we go away on vacation my father in law comes to the house each day to check on the cats, feed/water them, and check on any other needs they have. This would be great in a situation he couldn’t do that
Sounds like a great service. If I had a dog I’d look into using it.
I don’t have a dog but I know a lot of dog owners. It’s always so hard to leave your dog in a kennel. Dogs and like people to a lot of people. It’s good to know of a good place to leave them.
This sounds like a great place for a dog while on vacation. I usually take my little dog on trips with me but she loves to travel.
I have never heard of DogVacay. This is great for those wanting to make extra cash and those looking for a pet sitter. Thanks for sharing.
This is a fantastic idea. We always left our dogs with pet sitters and this site would have come in so handy.
we don’t have pets but do they have any of these for kids :p
Sounds like a great service to use when you have a dog. I should check them out. Thanks!
I will have to check into this next time.. my dog is pretty shy, but maybe something like this can break her out of her shell.
That is a great service. I know friends are always trying to find a pet sitter so they don’t have to kennel.
This is a super neat idea! I’ll keep it in mind for my dog.
This sounds like a great program for dog lovers on both sides…the qualified sitters and the people needing sitters they can trust!
LOL I have never heard anything like this before, we do not have any animals but I would think it would be a great place to send them while away.
It definitely helps you relax on vacation more when you know your pet is being well cared for. Great service!
Sounds like a great service for the dogs who will allow it. Our dog – she’s enough to drive me mental. She won’t move from my desk area if I’m not home. Not to eat, drink or go out. And nobody best get near her – she’ll snap at them. This only happens when I’m not home and we half wonder if she has some wolf in her (she was a rescue) where she is so dominate over me.
This is such a great service. I know many dog owners who would benefit from this is so many ways,
This is a great idea instead of leaving dogs at home when you are away. It would ensure that they are well taken cared of.
This is very cool, I know dog owners can for sure appreciate this service. Bookmarking in case anyone I know or I ever need the service. Thank you so much for informing us about it : )
No dogs over here, but it sounds like a great service!
I think this is a great idea. This is the first time I have actually heard of DogVacay. I will have to check them out!
This is just great. I hadn’t thought about what I would do with our pup when we go away. This is a great way to find a loving home while we are away.
I would feel a lot better having to leave my cats knowing they are not in a kennel. I have been lucky so far and have had a family member stay with my cats when i have had to go away. i am glad there is a alternative to kennels.
We have cats now, but should we get a dog again, I’ll keep this in mind.
We should really take advantage of this. Matt never gets to go on trips with us because he always has to stay home to watch the dogs.
My mom dog sits so this service sound awesome. I don’t know if I’d pick my dog back up though! (just kidding).
We leave our pets at the vet whenever we travel. This sounds like a good option, too.
I’ve never been disappointed with my pet sitter.
We don’t have pets because of allergies. But this is a great idea, peace of mind for people with pets, while on vacation!
What a wonderful idea!! I really do love it! If we go on a family vacation I’ll have to use this service for sure for my dog.
This sounds like a great service. We usually get family to take care of the puppies when we go places.
This is a great idea for people who need dog care. It’s a clear win/win for everyone involved!
Animals deserve a pampered life too sometimes, right? I’d love to see some of this pamper for pound pupppies.
This is a wonderful idea. It is important to find a good and safe place for our pets while we are on vacation.
what great service! now it is easier to travel knowing your beloved pet is well taken cared for
Wow that is just perfect. I wish we have those in our country too…
I could have surely used these services this past weekend! Thank you for sharing.
I used to LOVE pet sitting. It was a great way to make an extra couple of bucks and my dog loved having playmates.
Here I was worrying about how I was going to leave my GIzmo next summer when we travel and this is available. Thank you for sharing this. Checking into it now.
I would love to make money watching everyone’s cute little pets!
DogVacay sounds like a great service for pet owners and caretakers! I’ll have to tell my mom about this one!
I am lucky King always with family while we travel. If that was not a option I would definitely check this out.
I don’t have a dog but this sounds like a great place for a dog if we ever get one and need to go on a vacation!
This is a fun work and job! This would be a great service for those people who really love there pets and dont want to leave them alone in the house
Some days I would just love to send my dog on a vacation!! Great service for pets, and owners!
What a great resource! I think I’ll check this out for the next time we go on vacation with our dog.
What a great alternative to a kennel that is. I must tell my pooch owning friends!
That is a great idea. I usually try to take my dog with me when that’s not possible I leave him with family but should nobody be available DogVacay is definitely something I would consider.
This service sounds wonderful! I am going to share this with a couple of my dog loving friends 🙂
What a great service! My mom is very protective over her dog and takes her to “doggie day care” but I wonder if she’d consider this.? I’ll have to tell her.
This is the greets thing I have heard in some time. I know this wold make a lot of families feel more comfortable when leaving their pets. I know I would use this service. =)
I bet my mom would love to get on the sitter list. She loves dogs.
this sounds like an awesome service. I find it hard sometimes to find a sitter for my dog when we go on vacation and I don’t like some of the kennels around my area.
I don’t have a dog, but this is such a wonderful idea for those who do!
Wow I bet my doggy will love this!!!!!
I dont have a dog 🙁
On easy way earning bucks for dog lovers! 🙂 Great idea!
I love how they include the photo. Too cute!
This is a very smart idea. I’d love to send my cat on a vacay.
