Dog Boarding in Samish Hill, Bellingham, WA

“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”

Annika F.

“Lenore was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Her dog Rook is friendly and very well mannered. She has a fenced yard and is conveniently located. Kept me up to date throughout Fozzi’s stay and I got tons of pictures/videos!!!”

Kim M.

“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! 🩷🐾”

“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.”

Julian and Leann C.

“Lindsey took good care of my shy dog! She sent regular updates and went out of her way to make him comfortable while I was away for a couple of days.”

Angela K.

“He did a pretty good job taking care of my dog. He was attentive to my dog’s needs, made sure he was well-fed and even spent time playing with him. Also, he successfully kept my dog distracted from the fireworks (it was New Year’s Eve when we booked this Rover). It was clear that he genuinely cared, and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands.”

Seryll B.

“Would highly recommend Kelsey. I felt so comforted knowing my dog was in such loving hands. So grateful! Absolutely great experience boarding with her.”

Rebecca S.

“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!”

Alyssa G.

“Shannon was great for our spoiled dog. He instantly went in and did a zillion zoomies which isn’t how he has been in the past when going to a sitters home. She sent us pictures that showed us he was on walks, was happy and relaxed. I will definitely hire her again when we may need to and 100% recommend.”

Kirsten S.

“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!”

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a household with dogs, raised my own dog from puppyhood, and am currently raising and caring for my own kitten. I also regularly puppy- and cat-sit for family and friends, so I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and routines. I have hands-on experience training and raising a very large dog, my 8-year-old Great Pyrenees, so I am confident handling big breeds, strong dogs, and animals of all sizes. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, especially with puppies and young animals, as well as attentiveness and gentler care for senior pets. Beyond experience, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Friends and family have always known me as the “animal person,” and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part time and am also a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I am only in class a few days a week, and even on those days I am on campus for a limited amount of time. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent check-ins, playtime, walks, and attentive care rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs and routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and household rules provided by the owner to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, companionship, and regular check-ins. I treat each home with respect and keep it clean and secure. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and supervision. I make sure pets are comfortable, well exercised, and feel at home while their owners are away. Across all services, I communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”

About: Hi, I’m Trinity! 🐾 I’m a 20-year-old animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. I also have hands-on experience caring for cats and rabbits, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households and different care needs. My family has fostered dogs for 5 years so I have experience with shy or high-energy pets. I’m reliable, kind, and truly enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the chance to care for yours! 🐶🐱🐰 I work part time once a week and have lots of time outside of class! I have a roommate at home as well who loves pups and has one of her own (a chihuahua) and is there usually when I am not, and is more than willing to help out :) Very walkable neighborhood and dog toys in the apartment! Grassy area outside for quick access to the bathroom and the apartment is kept clean and dogs are allowed on furniture and allowed to free roam the apartment.

“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.”

Joanne B.

“Our fur baby, Ali, didn’t seem distressed or unhappy when we picked him up after spending a day at the Erin’s. Erin sent us several pictures of Ali and he seemed content and laidback, maybe a bit confused as to why he was there?. We are very satisfied with Erin and will definitely leave Ali with her again.”

“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”

Helena S.

“Lauren was a phenomenal sitter, I could not recommend her enough! She was very proactive in sending me photos and videos while I was away. Took her on lots of walks and played with her a great deal”

Ryan B.

“Great experience! Dolly was quick to respond to our texts and sent pictures while we were away which was so nice. One of our dogs is special needs and Dolly took excellent care of her. Will definitely book with Dolly again!”

Amy T.

“Rachel and her family are amazing! Our pup was loved and well taken care of while we were away. They kept us up to date daily on our pup and shared photos. We are very grateful for them and will continue to use them on all our trips.”

Tanya A.

“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.”
