Dog Boarding in Fairhaven, Bellingham, WA

“This is Lisa’s second time watching Zuri and I had piece of mind that she was being taken care of while we were away. Photo updates and great communication!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My dog Aurora has had trouble adapting to some boarding facilities as we've been moving around a lot the last two years, but she seemed to get comfortable right from the meet and greet with Debra (and River). Very happy with how things went while I was away!”

“1st time and they took great care of my 3 year old lab. He is high energy and can be a handful. They had a perfect yard for him to run and plan. He made instant friends with their dog and he had a wonderful weekend.”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats and have been pet/house sitting for family friends since about 16 years old. I've recently (Dec 2024) rescued my own first pup, a German Shepherd mix and have experience training and house breaking a high energy/high drive puppy since 3.5 months old (she's almost a year old now). I've also cared for a senior dog and given oral medication/ear drops. I look forward to meeting and caring for some new fluffy friends! I work from home part time starting at 0630 and usually finished by 09-1000. After that I take my pup to run at the park or for a walk/jog that is usually finished before lunch. I am generally free mid-day through the afternoons, but I am very flexible with my schedule. Until the end of the August, I cannot offer day care or boarding. I do have a fenced a yard and plenty of space for doggy guests when the time comes! I am able to do drop in visits and walks until then, so whatever feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medication, or other needs your dog has, I am able to come by and provide that throughout the day!

“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”

“Susan kept our senior dog and rambunctious younger dog for several days over Christmas. She sent lots of cute photos and daily updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love and play time. She contacted us right away when she had a concern about our older dog, and she did all the right things to care for her. I'm very grateful for Susan!”

“Adrienne took care of our dog for a week while our family was away. This was our first booking with her, and it went great. She was very responsive and flexible. She sent updates frequently during the stay. We would book care for our dog with her again!”

“Kennedy was gracious and so helpful! You could tell right away our dog was in good reliable hands. Her dog and our’s were compatible which was a blessing! I woukd use her 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.”

“Skyler was great with Hank and sent pictures everyday of their walks and let me know how he was doing. He really helped me out and was very nice!”

Alicia B.

“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.

“Michela was great! She took care of Murphy as if he was her own. She sent me a photo or video each day and gave my updates. I would definitely us her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

Hannah C.

“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.”
