“So glad we found Wei and Long. I could tell right away that they really loved dogs. Our dog loved his stay with them. They were also very flexible and accommodating when our flight was delayed. I received daily updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing he was well taken care of. We will definitely use this sitter again.”


“Kelsey was great, we'd look to have our dog Kobi stay with her again. Always quick to respond. She gave thoughtful feedback about Kobi's behavior, diet, and medication. Kobi clearly liked Kelsey and her pets and family.”


“We just used Gabriella for the first time and were beyond impressed. Our dog had a amazing time, she sent updates for peace of mind. Very responsive to communication. Would use her again next time we need to go away with peace of mind.”


“Rachel was amazing with my two dogs- a young and energetic dog and an old grouchy dog! She was extremely attentive and loving, and updated us daily. I will definitely book with her again!”


“This was the first time I had left my dogs to travel, and I was really anxious about them. However, Kruti and her family took excellent care of them! I am so grateful! I will definitely leave them with Kruti on my next trip. 😃”


“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!”


“Miao and her husband were kind, patient and excellent with my Bartholomew. I was confident with their ability to care for him while I was away competing and that allowed me to pull off a very successful weekend of competition wins! Thank you both!”


“Haden loves staying with Ashley, she keeps him stimulated and is totally mindful of his triggers. I also live how she keeps me informed of everything and sends pictures. She is absolutely fabulous and Haden and I adore her. Wholeheartedly recommend.”


“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.”


“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 puppy had a great time with Susan! He came home happy after an overnight. Susan was easy to communicate with, responded quickly and sent updates. Very nice experience.”


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.

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!

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.

“Kendra was phenomenal with my our dog! We've used her services on another vacation about a year ago, and our dog definitely remembered! Clear communication with regular updates and photos. 10/10!”


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.

“Cade was great and his home was perfect for my large hyper dog. There is plenty of room for dogs to run around. Cade also was super flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Will definitely recommend and be taking my dog there again.”
