Doggy Day Care in Bellingham

“Our senior dog is a clingy guy and he certainly loved clinging to Lizz. He was happy to be with her and she was great about taking him out for his daily exercise -- strapping on his leg brace beforehand and icing him afterward -- as well as administering his daily medication. We look forward to seeing Lizz again!”

“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, and I am a responsible cat owner. I work at home and will be available to give your pet the care they deserve :) I work from home, so I am very flexible. I can come to your place, your pet can be housed at mine, or I can come walk your dog at odd hours of the day. I have a 2-bedroom apartment to myself, and I currently have a sweet cat named Trufflepig who is 3 and gets along with both dogs and cats. She can easily be separated if your pup or kitty doesn’t like other animals. I live in a neighborhood that is very dog friendly with a park close by and a fenced in yard a block away where your dog can run.

“Kris was great! Her dogs are super sweet. She has a lot of space for them to run around and play. She took my dog on a walk too! Will definitely come back for more doggy daycare in the near future. Thanks again, Kris!”

“Avielle was easy to communicate with and her dog Toby is super friendly and immediately went into play mode with Sprocket. She kept me updated with pictures and text throughout the day and when we picked up Sprocket we was all tuckered out from playing all day. Thanks Avielle, would happily have you watch him again!”

“Yvonne took such good care of my pup, she is knowledgeable and super willing to work with his quirks and training needs! She makes sure to give such detailed reports of how they spend their day and she gives him great exercise! She also sends lots of photo updates!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”

“Tami was fantastic. By coincidence, the first day we took our dog to Tami's place, there had been several inches of snow the night before. There was a small hill on the way to her house thaty sedan wasn't able to handle in those conditions. I let her know we were having trouble getting to her, and she drove out to meet us. Then she did the same when we came to pick our pup up from her. Really went the extra mile for us, and it was very much appreciated. Our dog came home happy and tired, and we'll definitely be going to Tami again in the future.”

About: Love dogs! Grew up with 2 (1 large golden lab, 1 small Havanese). Currently we don't have a dog, but plan to in the next few years. We have a home with a large fenced off backyard space in the Columbia neighborhood, just north of Downtown Bellingham. Live with my girlfriend, who will also be around and contributing to pup hangs. I work from home, so ample time for playing, hangs and walks during the day. Happy to take longer runs/walks or trail runs too during the day. Happy to do doggy day care during the day, overnight sits, or schedule some weekly walk during the day from yours if the proximity makes sense! The app won’t let me delete some photos from two years ago, so the current house and outdoor photos are not correct, will update when I can! For walks, I work from home, and manage my own meeting schedule so can be pretty flexible for hour long walks. For Doggy Daycare, would be open to hosting a dog at our place, both during the week, and if we are home on the weekends. And for over night sits, open to discuss what works best for you. But would generally be open to hosting here as well. Have lived with dogs most of my life! Understand the rules and boundaries owners set up for them, as well as the loving attention they deserve and need. They will get lots of outside time (as I myself am an outdoor enthusiast), and lots of head pats or allowed treats, and happy to continue to reinforce any training commands or routines for the younger pups as well.

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with dogs, raised my own dog from puppyhood, and am currently raising and caring for my own kitten. I also regularly puppy- and cat-sit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and routines. I have hands-on experience training and raising a very large dog, my 8-year-old Great Pyrenees, so I am confident handling big breeds, strong dogs, and animals of all sizes. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, especially with puppies and young animals, as well as attentiveness and gentler care for senior pets. Beyond experience, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Friends and family have always known me as the “animal person,” and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part time and am also a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I am only in class a few days a week, and even on those days I am on campus for a limited amount of time. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent check-ins, playtime, walks, and attentive care rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs and routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and household rules provided by the owner to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and regular check-ins. I treat each home with respect and keep it clean and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and supervision. I make sure pets are comfortable, well exercised, and feel at home while their owners are away. Across all services, I communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Yana was great. She was responsive and flexible and we'd definitely ask her to help with Josie again!”

About: Hello! My name is Melina and we have a 4-year old Vizsla, Rasco, who loves to sleep, play and follow us on adventures. Your pup will be treated as one of ours, with lots of play time, attention and cuddles. If you have a high-energy dog, he'll fit right in as well, as I go on longer hikes every day with Rasco. In the winter we often cross country ski and in the summer we bike, hike, go to lakes and anything else that's fun! We've got tons of dog toys and dog beds available. Pets are allowed on furniture, and we don't have/use crates as I will mostly be home and around. If you would like to bring your own crate, that is totally fine as well! We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door too, so they have space to play outside as well when we're not out on a walk or a hike. I am happy to answer other questions you may have, just let me know! I currently am taking time off work and have unlimited availability when in town. I am very flexible and open for new bookings and I would love to help care for your pets going into this spring! I will be going to hikes, walks and other adventures depending on needs. We have a fenced backyard and a doggie door, so dogs are always able to get outside anytime. I will usually be home during the day with the dogs, but if I need to run any errands, I will not be out for more than 2 hours.

“Arilynn is 10/10!! I needed a sitter within the out and she was available, I was so thankful. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and was attentive to my dog’s special needs (arthritis) and my requests for her care. Thank you so much!”

“Super sweet and a great communicator. It was our first time leaving our pup with someone new and I had confidence in Jayde looking after her for the evening.”

About: I can't imagine life without a dog! All my life I've used common sense and loads of love to care for my furry babies. I am a responsible and very loving pet owner. Since I am retired, my schedule is very flexible; I'm home most of the time. When I do work, it is usually on my computer in short periods. Your baby will receive lots of one-on-one attention and snuggles. I am retired and have lots of space in my home. Although there's no fenced yard, I will take your baby out on a leash and give them loads of love and attention.

About: Hello my name is Mason C. I’m and 21 year old filmmaker and photographer in Bellingham. I have a cattle dog named Sasuke who is like a son to me and my girlfriend haylee (we seriously spoil him) . Animals and nature are my true passion being a wildlife photographer and wouldn’t want to be doing anything else than hanging out and taking care of your beautiful doggo. I believe good behavior should be rewarded with a fun proactive lifestyle. I live on the corner of franklin park and have great safe access to the park as often as your pup needs! Dogs who hike are welcome! I hope you are Social media friendly because I always supply professional photos with my sitting services !

About: I’ve taken care of pet cats, dogs, and reptiles since I was 8 y/o, taking care of animals has been my passion since I was younger. I work at Puget Hound and am a full time student at Western. I am available whenever I am not at those two places. :) I take care of my pets the way I would want to be treated as an animal. I listen to the animals needs and will provide them what they need whether it be food/water, a walk, or a cuddle.
