“Took Gus to Rachel and her husband for the first time. I was so impressed with the care he received in their home. He had so much fun playing with Winter and running free in the big backyard. He was tired when I picked him up two days later. Rachel took lots of pictures and several videos during Gus' stay and sent them to me so I could see was having fun. I felt he was very well cared for in Rachel's home. I will definitely take Gus back to their home with no hesitation at all. They were wonderful with Gus!”


“So glad we found Chelsea on Rover. She was able to provide excellent care for our 10mon old pup that is fearful of new people. Most Kennels won't accept him. By the end of three days her calm and friendly demeanor rubbed off on him and they were friends. We love the photo update with happy puppy faces. We are grateful for the flexibility in time pick up and the last minute add on of our second dog.”


“My dog loved his stay at Leslie’s beautiful place… He had lots of time to play outside and she fed him her own recipe of ultra healthy dog chow and generously passed on the recipe to me. He came home happy and healthy.”


“We have brought our chihuhua Snookie to Brianna once for daycare and then for a week stay while we went out of town. She took amazing care of our baby and sends updates also with pictures which was so comforting. She is so quick to respond and I feel she loves our fur babies like her own. I will be bringing Snookie back in the future and would highly recommend her for caring for your pets. Thank you Brianna! ❤️”



“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”


“Li was amazing! She continually updated me on Furley's stay with pictures on how he was doing. Very responsive and I knew he was in a loving home while I was away. I would highly recommend her & definitely use her in the future”


“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. Fun fact: my first word was doggie. I’ve dealt with all kinds of breeds: Keeshond, pug, chihuahua, jack russell, lab, Australian shepherd, you name it! I SO enjoy dogs, and treat them (perhaps) better than family at times. I firmly believe that dogs are a humans best friend and just want to share my love of them by helping people care for them. I had a pug for many years and towards the end of her life, I bought her a wheelchair and a doggie stroller so she could still enjoy the outdoors with myself and my other (now senior) dog. I moved to Birch Bay in February and was commuting to work in Canada up until the end of June. Since then, I have been looking for work and secured a few house cleaning and Airbnb cleaning jobs for the time being. That being said, I am local and available almost all the time now. I take my own dog out about 5-6 times a day and have been assisting my neighbours dogs (2 golden retrievers) while they’ve been away on shorter trips. While I do live in a condo with stairs, there are several grassed areas in my complex where dogs can relieve themselves. We even have dog bag stations throughout the complex and many owners and renters have dogs here, I can name all of them in my building. My dog goes where I go. She’s allowed on the couch, she’s allowed on my bed. My house is her house as well.

“Nino had a wonderful time with Wei & Long. We could see in the pictures how relaxed he was having fun in their beautiful backyard. We have absolutely no hesitation rebooking our next vacation with them. Joanne & Brian Kreiter”


“Li is extra kind with our dog Cedric. He understands poodle’s behaviors and takes great care of them. He send timely updates, always responds very quickly. My dog is very active and energetic and he had much fun and went home satisfied and tired.”


“Sheila did such a great job watching my sweet puppy. She responded to my questions and requests in a timely manner and was so sweet and gentle with my dog. She also sent pictures and gave updates while I was gone. I will definitely call on Shiela again!”


“My energetic dog loved staying with Miaomiao and her family again. It’s such a relief leaving him with such a caring dog sitter and being free to enjoy my trip confident he’s being well looked after.”


“We are so happy to have found you Carol to take care of our baby. Roger had a great time with you and Keanu. Thank you for taking great care of Roger. And loved the pictures you sent out daily. Truly appreciated it. Will call on you soon to watch Roger again. Thank you so much.”


“Bella stayed with Heather second time now. I can really tell that Bella enjoys her stay - second time she has recognized Heather and was so happy to see her dog as well!”


“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”



“My senior dog is unaccustomed to being alone and I’m seldom without him because I work from home. When I needed to be downtown for an all-day conference, I was fortunate to find Jan on Rover.com. Jan instills confidence and assurance in the warm and professional way she communicates and conducts bookings. She was flexible about the drop-off time and very accommodating with Toby’s schedule. Full disclosure: I’m one of those annoying fretting pet parents who constantly worries about their dog so it is a big deal for me to leave him with someone else. By time our booking came around I had no qualms about leaving Toby with Jan. I wasn’t wrong because Toby thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Jan (and Earl). Jan is experienced, intuitive and understands dogs (and people). She took excellent care of my boy. To reassure me, she checked-in throughout the day which was much appreciated. A bonus: Jan was a professional photographer before she retired so I received lovely candid shots of Toby for my image collection. I have no hesitation to recommend Jan and would definitely book with her again (both short and long term stay) as I’m sure Toby would be glad to visit Jan and Earl again.”


“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”
