Dog Vacay is a service that brings dog owners and those willing to take your dog into their house and care for them together. Using the app you can easily search for the perfect dog sitter, the filters allow you to narrow your search down based on the type of sitter you’re looking for and your dog’s own needs. You can read reviews for all sitters that use the service so that you have peace of mind while away from your dog.
Dog Buddy (iOS)
Dog Buddy is a diary app with a twist, it’s a diary for your dog. You can use the app in much the same way you might use your own personal diary, to store photos, write down memories and to remember milestones. You can also use the app as more of an organizational diary, helping to keep track of appointments with vets and trainers. You can also track your dog’s weight, medications and another information that is important to your dog. A very useful feature is the ability to share all of the information stored in the app with friends, meaning if they are dog sitting for you they have all of the information they need in one place.
