I almost don't want to write a review ... a little gem I don't want to share. ;) Samanta was great. My boy, Sampson, was very well taken care of with plenty of exercise (no small feat at 120lbs). She sent daily photos of their adventures. And even bought him a Xmas gift (which thankfully they kept [or Sampson mutilated]--we don't need any more squeaky toys...). I would definitely call upon Samantha again, should the need arise.

We just returned from a week vacation and left our 8 month old lab pup with Samantha. She was really wonderful and accommodated our travel schedule to accept our dog right upon the her return from vacation. This was our first ever experience with DogVacay and actually the first time we have left a dog with someone other than family. I can highly, highly recommend Samantha and her family! She sent daily updates on our dog, took great care of her, and made us feel really comfortable leaving her for the week. We were definitely not at ease about this at the outset, but would leave our dog with Samantha again no question. Our dog Nellie got walks with Samantha's dog Shiloh, and basically a week long doggie play-date. 5 star rating for Samantha, Shiloh and family! Thanks so much!
