I was looking for a better alternative to leaving the dogs home and having them walked, but not staying at the daycare for dog boarding. They tend to be outside at the daycare and it is really too hot for them most of the year. I found on a google search and was really pleased to find an online service for dog care that had reviews and lots of potential options fairly close to my house. I interviewed 3 sitters and picked one, Emily, that ended up being an amazing match for us and the dogs. She welcomed them into her home and they came back happy and relaxed. The service is fully automated, including payment, which I think is really convenient. It is for dogs.
