“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 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.”


“My dog Aurora has had trouble adapting to some boarding facilities as we've been moving around a lot the last two years, but she seemed to get comfortable right from the meet and greet with Debra (and River). Very happy with how things went while I was away!”


“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.”


“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”


“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.”


“Amazing care as usual!!! I feel so comfortable leaving my pup with Michelle. I know she will be well taken care of and have the best time! She always gets so excited when she gets dropped off for a visit.”


“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.”


“Kendra was so awesome! She was able to be flexible when I had a last minute change to my travel plans and took excellent care of my dog. He got to go to yoga and a hike around the bay! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting.”


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.

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!

“Melissa and Ryan are very attentive and caring. Daisy enjoyed lots of fun play time and cuddles there! I would definitely use them again! They also dropped Daisy off at home. I so appreciated their care for her and all the pictures!”


“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!”


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.

“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: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 9am. We have a big fenced yard where your pup can freely safely play, water front home, and a one sweet and very friendly dog to keep your pup company.


“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!”

Lindsey J.
“We’re so grateful to have found Lindsey—she’s truly the best dog mom when we’re not around. She’s watched our dog on several occasions, sometimes for multiple nights, and every time we pick him up, he’s relaxed, happy, and maybe even a little bummed to leave. Honestly, we’re starting to think he might love her more than he loves us (and we can’t blame him). Her care, attention, and obvious love for animals give us total peace of mind when we’re away. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like family, Lindsey’s your person.”
