Hey Swaggernauts – Ashley here.  As many of you probably know, I am the proud owner of an adorably gorgeous Papillon, Sophie – she is my best friend, my child, my life (and also very stylish, as you can tell from the picture above).  When I go out of town and I can’t bring her, it is absolutely heartbreaking.  I can’t bear the thought of leaving Sophie boarded up at a kennel – I’ve never done it before and I don’t plan on doing it any time soon.  I usually leave her with a friend if I absolutely cannot bring her.  But what happens if none of my friends are available to dogsit?  I either have to cancel my trip or bring her with me.  Well, that was before I heard about Dog Vacay.

Don’t leave your dog stuck in a cage at the kennel!  As featured on ABC, FOX, MSNBC, LA Times, and more, DogVacay.com is a revolutionary new way to board and care for your dog.  Here’s how it works: Find a qualified and experienced person to watch your dog in a REAL HOME.  It’s better than a kennel because your dog gets individual attention and plenty of space to play.  There are hundreds of options across the country with prices starting at $15 per night.  They also provide insurance for your dog, photo updates to your cell phone, and concierge-style customer service.  You can choose from hundreds of experienced hosts and unique homes from New York to California – from 1 bedroom apartments to luxury ranches.  You can e-mail, talk on the phone, or even meet the sitter in person before committing.  There’s no need to worry about your pup while on vacation – all of that worry and stress defeats the purpose of a vacation.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy all the while knowing that your dog is safe and happy, having a vacation of his/her own.

You can snag a $10 Off coupon to Dog Vacay right from the Swag Store for just 249 Swag Bucks.  Believe me, your dog will thank you.
