“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! 🩷🐾”



“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”


“Debra is the best! Max had a great time staying with her and playing with River. He came home happy and calm, but missing his buddy, River. Look forward to boarding Max with Debra again in the future.”


“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”


“Susan took wonderful care of our two pups. It was their first time being cared for outside our home, so we appreciated her daily pictures of their time with her. They came back home happy and healthy! Thanks, Susan!”


“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”


“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!”


“Arilynn was awesome and took amazing care of my pup. Great communication and very kind, I would definitely recommend!”


“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.”


“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”


“Rachel and her husband are amazing, compassionate people. They took amazing care of Peanut, giving him lots of love and cuddles and helping him run his little heart out in their huge yard. They have an amazing doggy paradise! I got lots of adorable updates and Peanut and Winter got along great :) would 100000% leave Peanut with them again!”


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.

“When Beebe lost her bonded pair, she experienced separation anxiety and is challenging to leave on her own or with other care givers. I appreciate Kelsey's willingness to care for her very much.”


“Erin and her family are so wonderful our dogs. She takes extra special time and effort with dogs in her care. They get to go to the park everyday and Erin supplies so many great pictures and videos. She is the best sitter we have ever found!! This was my dogs 4th visit and all have been incredibly wonderful!!! Highest recommendation I can ever give goes to Erin!!!!”


“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.”


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: I adopted my sweet Fox (Chihuahua mix) from the Oregon Humane Society over 10 years ago and he has been my best bud always by my side through all of life’s ups and downs and moves across states! I current work from home, so I’m around most of the day outside of getting out for a run! I often run in the morning, during lunch, or after work but this can be flexible to suit the needs of the animals! I have a very friendly approximately 12 year old chihuahua mix. I live in a small condo but very close to walking areas and a dog park!

“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!”


“We had our wedding in a town nearby and needed our dog Kiki as the ring bearer, Renae took her in for the evening and we are very thankful! She came to the venue to pick her up and took care of her, really gave us peace of mind to enjoy the evening of our wedding.”



“I can't say enough great things about Philip! He made Tugboat feel right at home, kept him active and entertained and provided us with daily updates/photos of their adventures. Tugboat and Philip's pup, River, got along super well and quickly became best buds. Many thanks to Philip for taking care of our little guy!”

Kennedy R.
“Kennedy has boundless capacity & passion when it comes to caring for, standing up for and empathizing with the needs of all animals. She’s the first to sign up for fostering & volunteering when an animal or the community is in need. I haven’t met someone so giving, loving & righteous, and I feel as though there’s no one better to care for your sweet animal than her. On top of the trustworthiness & care, she’s also very fun and very active (she’s a professional runner). Thus, the entertaining and exercising of your pet are unmatched perks.”
