Dog Boarding in Columbia, Bellingham, WA

“Our dog Mochi can be pretty nervous and slow to warm up, but she was comfortable at Lisa’s home right away, which was really comforting to see. She also got one of her longest walks in recent memory - thanks Lisa!”

“Kris made my first rover booking experience extremely easy, I had a sitter pull out last minute and Kris and her puppy crew were sure to pick up the pieces and make sure my pup felt at home. Lots of pictures and updates were provided throughout the visit. She is a wiz with small dogs especially! Our chihuhah terrier has been known to be a barker but fell right in line under Krises care. We are so so grateful we found her! Thank you again Kris! We will be rebooking.”

“Debra is the best! Max had a great time staying with her and playing with River. He came home happy and calm, but missing his buddy, River. Look forward to boarding Max with Debra again in the future.”

“Michelle has been an exceptional sitter for our standard poodle. He enjoys daily park visits, swimming and lots of cuddles. It’s definitely a treat when our baby gets to stay with Michelle. Michelle is the kindest caretaker we have come across. She sends many pictures and videos to assure you that your baby is happy. We are return clients and happy for her services. She is reliable and flexible when emergencies arise. Thank you Michelle, you’re the BEST!!!”

“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had a deep love and understanding for animals. Growing up with dogs and a cat, I learned the importance of providing compassion, patience, and amazing care. My experience extends beyond my own pets, I have frequently cared for family and friends' pets, often stepping in as their trusted sitter or walker when they needed help. While also providing bathes and medication as needed. I pride myself on being a reliable caregiver who treats every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being at all times! I’m currently available any day of the week/weekends. This schedule allows me to give pet care my full attention! Morning walks, midday breaks or walks, evening playtime and walks. I am available to provide the love and attention and pet needs. I have a sweet 6yr old Yorkie Poodle (Luna) who has grown up around cats and dogs, friendly with kids! She can be a great friend for your furry animal. She gets to go on daily walks, even small hikes or play at dog parks and the beach. Caring for others pets and their specific needs is absolutely possible for me to do! They will always get the care and attention needed!

“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”

About: Our small family of loving, responsible animal lovers lives in a perfect area for your pet. If you choose to board with me, I will ensure that your dog will have lots of access to trails, dog park and our fenced yard. I am well experienced with walking and boarding dogs and am happy to come to your home for cat and dog feeds and social time. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I work out of the home part time M-F and spend weekends adventuring around Whatcom County, so there are plenty of opportunities for hikes, water adventures and other fun outings. Dogs boarding in our home would need to be crate trained and/or able to be left for 3-4 hours at a time, inside or outside. I have a small, fully fenced yard that your pet will be safe in if you board your dog with me. We are located about 200 yards from the interurban trail, several blocks from the Fairhaven dog park and spend a lot of time in and around water, so your water-loving dog would fit right in! There are no animals that live permanently in our home.

“Worked great with my dog! Had some very good suggestion and made some observations that I had thought about! 10/10! I would definitely recommend!”

“Kendra was so awesome! She was able to be flexible when I had a last minute change to my travel plans and took excellent care of my dog. He got to go to yoga and a hike around the bay! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting.”

Madeline T.

“Chelsea was great! She took very good care of our Bloodhound and Aussie! Great communication and sent update photos for our peace of mind. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Our Bella had a good time with Leslie! It was her first time away from home and she came home happy and very excited. Leslie is very knowledgeable about dogs and gave us a lot of good feed back on things to work with our little Bella. Bella is a 1 and 1/2 year old pug. Thank you! K”

About: Hi! I’m a certified veterinarian from Thailand and lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and health needs—including my own sweet tabby, Lady Blossom, and senior basset hound, Bernice. I’m especially passionate about pet nutrition and giving each pet the love and care they deserve. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs special medical attention, they’ll be in gentle, experienced hands with me! Pet care is naturally part of my daily life—I work from home, so I’m always around to give pets plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or cuddles, I’m fully present and available. My own pets are part of my routine, and I treat every animal I care for like one of my own. I offer in-home pet sitting because I understand that many pets feel more comfortable and less stressed in their familiar environment. Keeping them in their cozy space helps maintain their routine and well-being. As a former veterinarian, I’m trained to recognize signs of illness and have a strong background in pet nutrition and health. I’m always happy to share tips and advice to help your pet thrive.

“Ashley is great! This was our second time leaving our senior dog with her. She watched him for 3 weeks, and sent daily photos and updates! It was great to see that he was in good hands, and we appreciate the report card he received at the end of his visit. We look forward to having Ashley watch our dog again!”

“Bruno had an AWESOME time with Aretha at her home. She kept me updated on Bruno’s behavior, had a treat ready for him, sent pictures, and he even received a bath. Her kids were great with Bruno too. I will book with Aretha again.”
