I use DogBuddy every time we go on vacation or are going to be away overnight. It's so simple to use and there are lots of great sitters in our area. I love the user generated reviews for each potential sitter, this social proof makes you feel less nervous about someones credentials. That said we have also been the first to review a sitter and they were also great. I feel confident leaving Dele with my preferred dog buddies who have all been excellent. This service really has been a lifesaver for us. It's a great alternative to kennels and I can't recommend highly enough.
