Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾

Michelle was overly flexible and provided an amazing overnight for my pup. Provided lots of updates so i could see how my anxious dog would handle the new environment. Provides lots of active time and made a trip to the lake that was very much welcome. Would recommend Michelle again in a heartbeat!

Lenore and Rook hosted Roscoe while I was away for new years. She provided lots of photos and updates to let me know that he was doing well and he seemed to be very happy when I picked him up. I would have Lenore watch Roscoe again in a heartbeat!

Melissa and her family are absolutely wonderful! We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. Easy to communicate with and quick responses. Our high energy dog was well played with, given lots of treats we sent along, and obviously loved like a part of their family during a 10 day stay. Will have Melissa watch our dog again and would recommend her care.

Brooklyn went above and beyond to accommodate Waffles and his car anxiety. He had a wonderful time with her and her pups (especially Tuna). I would not hesitate to leave Waffles with her again, or to recommend her to other pet parents.

Jocelynn is the most devoted animal lover I've ever met, and she's hands down the best person in Bellingham to trust your pet with. With a lifetime of rescue experience, she can handle any pet, regardless of temperament or health needs. Here's an example: I had to kennel my semi-feral cat to take her to the vet. The process was traumatic. It took 30 minutes of actual blood, sweat, and tears (because of how much I scared my girl in the process) to get her in the kennel. The next time we had to go to the vet, I called Jocelynn for help. She came right over and had Ava kenneled within 30 seconds with minimal stress. She did it with such confidence and skill that I was literally speechless, and I'm so grateful to her. Her boarding setup is equally impressive. She has separate spaces for dogs and cats that have everything they could possibly need, from cozy beds and tons of toys to a beautiful, spacious yard to explore. She dotes on every animal she meets, and your pet will leave her house with a new best friend for life.

I had a fantastic experience using Jordan as a Rover! She is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and communicative. I never had to worry about my dog as I received regular updates throughout his stay. She went above and beyond to make sure that he was getting lots of exercise and play time. I would recommend Jordan to anyone!

Colin enjoyed another week with Ashley. It was an easy decision given our past experience of having Ashley look after him - a senior dog - multiple times. We once again got nightly check-in updates, lots of pictures, and Colin even came home with a special toy for his birthday! He is clearly well cared for and gets lots of attention when he stays with Ashley. We highly recommend her!

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.
