“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.”

“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!”

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.
“Gabriel took Lucy to the lake, introduced her to other dogs, and she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. He accommodated my short notice request and I'm so grateful that Lucy had somewhere safe to go while I headed to work.”

“Pelos had a great day with Yvonne! We know she was in good hands. We received updates throughout the day which we enjoyed. We will continue to use her dog sitting services :)”

“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!”

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: 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.
“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.”

“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!”

“Jayde took awesome care of our Denny-boy and gave him lots of love as we celebrated our friends wedding. Without Jayde picking him up and dropping him off, it would have made having Denny as ring-bearer almost impossible. We’re so grateful!”

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.
About: I’m relatively new to this app, so I have limited reviews but it’s growing! I’ve grown up with all types of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and birds. I have the most experience (and love) medium to large sized dogs. I live next to boulevard park trail and I often walk from Bellingham to Fairhaven (I live on the Bellingham side). I live in a small carriage house with a fenced in spacious patio across the street from Laurel Park. For regular potty breaks? I’m across the street from Laurel Park. What sets me apart? I absolutely love dogs, but I’m going back to grad school and my place is too small for my favorite dog breed to own. With that said, I do have the perfect set up for dog sitting and boarding on a temporary basis. I’m getting ready to start graduate school in an online program in January 2026. I was just accepted! Yay! I also work remote for a college for their e-learning department. Despite my love of dogs, I can’t take on the added expense of my own furry family right now. It would be a pleasure to have a little fur baby friend (or two) to hang out with me here at home! I have a flexible remote work/study schedule and I’m home regularly. I’m available to go on long walks from Bellingham to Fairhaven, which is about 5 miles round trip. Aside from that, I can do shorter potty walks at Laurel park, which is across the street from my residence. I have a (fancy) large elevated dog bed that can hold up to 150 pounds, which can be covered with a cozy blanket (preferably yours so your dog feels at home). My little house is actually a studio (see pictures), it’s a mother in law unit on the property next to a huge 5-bedroom house with a big yard. I have a good relationship with the property owner who has allowed me to build out a patio and a fenced gate here on my rental. This space is really perfect for a dog sitter, but I care too much about dogs to get my own fur baby while I’m living here. It’s just too small to keep a dog full time, but my place is perfect to dog sit and host.
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 Kelly and I am an Art Therapist living in Bellingham. I enjoy a plethora of outdoor activities and artistic avenues on my time off, and am always down for a good adventure. I have one amazing canine companion named Pecos. Together we have daily adventures and multiple snuggle sessions. We have enjoyed offering boarding and walking for many different dogs. Pecos is always thrilled to have a play mate in the house. I live with my partner Connor in a two bedroom house with a fenced in yard, tucked away in the Roosevelt neighborhood. We are both home most of the day on weekends. Connor and I work from home at the moment. We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door so the dogs can go in and out. I take Pecos (and visiting dogs) on two long walks a day and use my work breaks to throw the ball in the yard. I have a fenced in yard and Pecos is very open to new friends. We also have a tiled basement that keeps cool in the summer for those really furry boys!
About: I have vast experience with puppies, adult dogs, and care needing senior pets. I have raised multiple family dogs and cats and love all animals! I work part time remotely and set my own schedule. I’m quite flexible in accommodating varying clients’ schedules and activities depending on your furries’ needs. I have a fully fenced yard that I can provide care in. I am very responsible with leashing dogs when in outdoor settings/ on adventures unless otherwise instructed.

200% Thank you Tanya. Tanya did a superb job with my nervous dog. First time away since her adoption 18 months ago and things worked out very, very well. Nice updates throughout the day, which relieved my anxiety. Tanya’s gentle demeanor was very helpful with my dog. I think Jenna enjoyed her change of scenery and to be around Tanya. She slept a lot when she came home. Thank you again. 🤗

Ginger had a great time with Bailey and her pup Oscar! We got lots of pics and pupdates since it was her first time over. Ginger came back happy and had some great walks on their nearby trail. Bailey and her husband are communicative and friendly. Two paws up! 🐾
