Dog Boarding in Lopez Island

“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”

“Sarah took excellent care of my dog Kawai. Kawai came home happy and exhausted from all the playing she enjoyed at Sarah’s ! Sarah had great communication prior and throughout the reservation. Thank you Sarah!”

“Fantastic stay with Kelsey and her family :) Frankie was super friendly and gave all the space that Jammy needed. Kelsey kept us updated regularly. Will definitely recommend Kelsey! Thanks so much Kelsey”

“Wow! This was my first Rover.com experience and it couldn't have gone any better! Virginia and family treated my elderly pup, Kipper, like one of their own. He came back worn out, needing a nap and lolling his tongue, as if he'd just returned from a highly satisfying trip to Disneyland. I strongly recommend Virginia for your boarding needs. She paid attention when we explained Kipper's idiosyncrasies, was flexible on pickup and drop-off timing, and obviously played Dog Mom as well as Kipper's own could!”

“From start to finish Rebecca and Nick were very responsive to our inquiries, calm and kind upon meeting them. They have a beautiful home which they have opened up for four-legged friends. We would recommend them. Note: they are located atop a mountain so get ready for a climb and distracting views of the San Juan Islands.”

“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”

Isabella M.

“Andrea and family were fantastic. Our dog Stu seemed to love being there as soon as he arrived and we had no concerns about leaving him. They took him on a big adventure walk to a beach and musts have given him a bath as he came back soft and smelling cleaner then ever. Would definitely send Stu back there if we need a petsitter again!”

Jennifer L.

“I needed a boarder last minute for a trip and I’m so happy Daisy took Mijo in, he had an awesome time! He went for walks and played his heart out. I can tell mijo was lovingly cared for while I was away and I would definitely board mijo again with Daisy. 10/10 would recommend.”

“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.”

Elizabeth K.

“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!”

Brittany & Karl M.

“Rache and Daniel provided our doberman with wonderful care while we were on vacation. They were great about sending periodic updates and it put our mind at ease at how comfortable our big baby was in their care. Highly recommended.”

Terence F.

“Lola's stay with Holli was outstanding! My mind was at ease all weekend knowing that she was having a great time, being so well cared for and getting all the cuddles and fun. Regular updates and photos were wonderful and Holli and her partner were amazing.”

Lola S.

“We boarded our shy rescue dog Russer with Kendall for two weeks, and she is the absolute best. We had sent Russer to do a trial sleepover with Kendall a couple weeks prior, which was very beneficial as it takes time for Russer to trust new people. Kendall was very patient with him and she was so proud of the progress he made each day. Kendall gave us the perfect amount of updates on Russer along with pictures/videos, and made sure to always follow our care instructions. It was easy to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Russer was in good hands. Kendall’s love and passion for animals is clear in the care she provides. I highly recommend Kendall, and our future vacations will be planned around her availability.”

Stephanie B.

“Amy and her son Teddy are super awesome!! Amy kept us updated with pictures and messages regularly. Jammy had regular walks and best time in their yard. She was well taken care of and we felt happy knowing she is in safe hands and well taken care of!! Highly recommend Amy and would board Jammy again with them :) :)”

Swetha Renya N.

“Blue had a great time with Jael! He was happy and very well taken care of! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a safe and trustworthy pet sitter!”

Beth M.

“Kyla had a wonderful stay with Lexi as a friend and Amy as a caregiver. Amy did an awesome job of reading our dog and anticipating what she needed, or didn't need. Sometimes Kyla will bug you when she is tiered and needs to be told it's bedtime! Anyways, Amy provides a very safe environment for her guest pets to exercise and play without getting into trouble. We will gladly take Kyla back for another visit with them! We hope to see Lexi at our house or theirs over the Summer for a play day visit. Maybe a dog park visit for the two of them?”

Pat And Tami C.

“My dog was almost immediately at ease with Sara and ran off with her dogs to go play as soon as we got there. Sara clearly provides a safe, loving environment and I will definitely use her again for my pup's care in the future. Highly recommend.”

Christine R.

“Angela is the best! I have used her a few times and I always know my dog is well cared for and having a great time. She is dependable and wonderful with dogs! I’m so glad I found her. I would feel comfortable recommending her to anyone I know! Thank you Angela!”

About: 🐾✨ Welcome to Your Pet’s Second Home! ✨🐾 Hi there! I’m Bri — a stay-at-home mom, Navy spouse, and homeschooling parent. I’m home consistently throughout the day and have created a peaceful rhythm in our home that naturally extends to the animals I care for. I’ve set up a calm, dedicated space just for cats upstairs — no dogs, no stress, just a quiet retreat where your feline friend can relax, recharge, and feel safe. 🐈🌿 I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals, including pets belonging to military members during deployments, and have continued to provide consistent, compassionate care while raising my own dogs. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I have the time and flexibility to offer personalized attention and a calm, dedicated space just for the animals in my care. Although I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and tending to my own beloved pets, I’m just getting back into pet sitting and newly active on Rover. I’m dedicating this season to offering intentional, loving care — and I’m also working toward expanding my knowledge of animal behavior and earning certifications where I can. 💕 My goal is simple: to offer peace of mind, reliable care, and a second home your pets feel safe returning to — all while supporting my community and doing something I genuinely love.🐈‍⬛❤️ Your cat’s comfort and routine truly matter to me. While I do step out now and then for errands or local outings, your pet will have a reliable, nurturing presence throughout their stay. I provide regular litter box cleaning, fresh water refills, daily check-ins, and enrichment time like play, brushing, or cozy companionship — whatever helps them feel safe and settled. 🐾🐈‍⬛🪟 ‼️ Note on Our Home There is a child under 12 in the house, and while he’s incredibly respectful of boundaries and animals, I completely understand if your pet prefers a low-stimulation environment or is not child-friendly. Just let me know — I’m happy to accommodate special needs or set up extra separation if needed. 🐶 A Quick Dog Disclaimer We do have two friendly dogs of our own, but they are never allowed in the cat care space and always remain fully separated to ensure peace of mind and a calm environment for your pet. 🐾 📅 Flexible & Understanding As a Navy family, I understand how fast plans can change. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings if your plans fell through, extended stays, or deployment-related pet care. I genuinely want to help however I can and make things a little easier for you. 🐾📆 🐾 Doggy Daycare 🐾 I offer doggy daycare for all sizes with a focus on calm, low-stimulation care in a home-based setting. Daycare spots are limited so that every dog gets personalized attention, rest time, enrichment, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to nap or a companion for light play and check-ins, I’m here to help. 🚶‍♀️🐕 Dog Walking & Drop-Ins In addition to cat boarding, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking. Whether you’re working late or heading out of town, I can stop by to provide food, water, potty breaks, litter refreshes, and some comforting attention while you’re away. 🐾 Dog Boarding While I am primarily cat-focused, I do consider small-large dogs for boarding. I’ve found this size is easiest to accommodate alongside my own pups, and it allows me to maintain a peaceful space. ‼️Note: Since I only host a few dogs at a time, feel free to message me about availability. 📝 Health & Wellness Note Please let me know in advance if your pet has any medical conditions, sensitivities, or behavioral needs. I ask that all pets arrive healthy, flea-free, and in good condition for everyone’s safety and comfort. 💖🐾 🚫 A Quick Note on Intact Dogs To keep things safe and stress-free for everyone, I do ask that owners let me know if their dog is intact (not spayed or neutered). I don’t accept females in heat, and I may separate intact males depending on their energy and behavior. My own dogs are often kept in their own space, so I can usually accommodate with care—but clear communication upfront is key! 😊 While I may not have a long list of Rover reviews just yet, I bring years of hands-on experience and confidence in my ability to care for animals with consistency, patience, and intuition. I’m always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾🐈✨ 🏡 How I Care for Pets in My Home & Yours 💬 Communication is everything! Whether you’re booking a drop-in visit or overnight stay, I always appreciate clear instructions—feel free to leave a written note, send a message through Rover, or both. The more I know about your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences, the better I can show up for them. 💌🐾 🏡 In my home, I offer a peaceful, private space for cats with daily litter box cleaning, fresh water, quiet time, and enrichment like gentle play, brushing, or window-watching. I maintain a clean, calm environment that adapts to each pet’s needs—especially helpful for senior cats, shy personalities, or kitties on medication. 🚗 For drop-in visits, I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, water changes, litter or potty needs, and any medications or specific tasks. 📸 I always check in with photos and a little note about how your pet is doing to help you feel connected while you’re away. 🐶 Dog walks can be added to your drop-in visit for a small additional charge—just let me know what works best for your pup’s energy and needs. 🤝 Meet-and-greets are always welcome and encouraged for boarding, house sitting, or pets with specific care instructions. It gives us a chance to connect and helps your pet feel more comfortable. ⚠️ If your dog is reactive, needs space from strangers, or requires extra time and attention, please let me know upfront. I’m flexible and understanding—and happy to see if we’re a good fit with the right setup and support. Just let me know what matters most—I’m here to support both you and your fur baby with care that feels personal and reliable💚🐾

“Jocelyn and her family were fantastic with our cat Willow!Great communication, Jocelyn sent us news,photo and video every day. I recommend Jocelyn for your pet care :) Thank you Jocelyn for taking very good care of Willow!”
