Customer reviews
Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Carlos was amazing with my dog! I left her with him for five days and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. My dog has a lot of energy and can be quite a handful at times, but Carlos did an incredible job. He kept me updated, and when I picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Carlos to watch her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!

This was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end. Amber was very attentive and took care of Kobe as if he were her own. I was very nervous about leaving him since we normally don t travel or go anywhere without him, so this was a test. We will definitely use Amber for any boarding services that are needed in the future, if she is available of course!!
