“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!”


“Paula was great. I was I town for a wedding, so was very hectic and scattered, and Paula was wonderful with answering my last minute questions and sent me adorable photo updates. Tally was very happy after her stay and seemed to have gotten lots of attention!”


“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!”



“Kris was more than we could have hoped for! From the minute we arrived we knew our boys' stay would worry free. She immediately made sure they felt at home and even asked if they could sleep in the bed and that really made us feel like she cared! She has a great yard and several very friendly dogs to play with. We will definitely take our boys to her every time we're in the Bellingham area! 5 stars!”


“Daisy was safe, well cared for and happy when we picked her up after 4 nights away. Nicole provided lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip so we felt assured the whole time that Daisy was comfortable. We’d definitely work with Nicole again!”


“Julie and family were very welcoming when Blu and I showed up and their home. Julie sent photos everyday and keep me posted and Blu’s activities. Very kind and will be a frequent visitor of their services. Thank you for an awesome experience.”


“We had a great experience with Leslie! The homemade food and treats was a major hit and our Velzy girl even got to go pick out a fun toy for herself at the pet shop. We appreciate you, all your efforts and insight Leslie.”


“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”


“Shawn is truly a dog lover. He gave my dog attention and time like it was his own pet. I was away for two weeks and he sent me so many photos of my little guy having fun and playing. My dog Siya became best pals with Shawn’s beagle it felt sad to separate them when I had to pick Siya up to take him home. Thank you to Shawn and his family for taking such good care of my Siya!”


“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.”


“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.”


“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our dog, Don, had such a wonderful time during his stay. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The communication was great — they were easy to reach, responsive, and always approachable. Don got plenty of exercise with regular walks and came home happy and relaxed. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and fun environment for their pup.”


“Ronika and her family were excellent hosts for Charlie!. Very communicative, flexible, easy going and accommodating during drop-off, pick-up and even some schedule changes! Charlie had so much indoor and outdoor fun. They made him part of their family. I would not hesitate to book another stay with them!”


“Crystal went above and beyond caring for my dog. Daily walks, playtime in a nearby gated area, and lots of cute pics with updates! I would highly recommend her and will be booking again!”


“Amanda was the perfect sitter for Abby- she updated me regularly and Abby was well taken care of. She had a safe backyard for Abby to explore, and I had no worries while I was away. Thank you Amanda for such good care.”


“Honestly if I could give 10/5 I would! Such a great experience, Moony had a great time, and I felt totally comfortable leaving her. Will rebook with Danielle anytime!”


“Heather and her daughter were absolutely amazing with our small dog Max . I felt he was in the very best hands . I had regular pictures of Max. Max was never left alone . He always had companionship and love . Her dog was very gentle and played with Max very well ! They became best friends. He even came home with a new toy ! We will absolutely be using Heather again for all our dog sitting needs ! Highly recommend!”


“Very friendly, spent lots of times petting cuddling my dogs. Sent pictures with updates which was appreciated and helped set my mind at ease Not a fully fenced backyard so my dogs had to be on tie outs to prevent escape...the only real drawback.”


“Words can't express how our two cats loved their stay with Lisa. Lisa was great with our cats and it was easy to tell they loved staying with Lisa. Getting photos and videos from Lisa reassured us how great Lisa is with cats. Don't hesitate to use Lisa's services. You will be so happy that you contacted Lisa.”
