“My husky was so well taken care of by Kelsey and her family! She came back to me happy and tired 🥰 Kelsey was so good about sending pictures and updates too, which I loved. Will definitely be dropping aloo off again when I return to Victoria”
“Andrea was really great with Izzy. She was patient and made her comfortable in her home, allowing her to settle in. She played with her while understanding her boundaries and play style. Andrea was communicative and kept me updated while I was away. Izzy took to her and her family right away and I felt good knowing she was in good hands. Thank you!”
“Cynthia was amazing! She sent lots of updates and pictures of my dog without me even asking. She took her on walks, and I could tell they were good because Kota was good and worn out. I highly recommend Cynthia and will rebook with her again.”
“I’m so happy to have found Kelsey. It was my first time boarding Momo so I was a little anxious. I knew she’d be in home hands once I dropped her off. Kelsey was calm, attentive and knowledgeable. He responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend Kelsey and would love to come back.”
“Bianca cared for our pup Roots for 5-sleeps over the holidays! It was a big deal for us as we hadn’t ever left him that long before. Bianca is a great communicator and put us at ease knowing that he was being well loved and cared for. She is very responsible and conscientious in every way. We appreciated her attention to detail & big heart. A big thank you from all of us :)”
“We are so lucky to have Daisy & her family take care of Corkey again. He’s always so happy and well-cared for. I especially like that the whole family is involved in the care. No hesitations with asking them to take our Corkey again!”
“Sarah has watched our dogs twice now and both times has been a wonderful communicator, asks questions, and sends pics/updates of the dogs. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Our second time booking with her. She kept me updated all the time and kept the smile on Oreo’s face. Our flight time was also too early, she was so kind to adjust and accept our booking. 💜💚 I think Oreo misses her pup already - looks like they became best buds!”
“Maggie looked very comfy in the picture you sent of her on her first visit, and well cared for. She will be back in July for a longer stay and happy with the care she received..Thank you Kevin & Kayla”
“Barbara was great, she sent pictures while we were away, and I could tell she really cared. She answered all questions. Barbara's response was immediate, which is very nice when your doggie is somewhere else. Would book Barbara again. Dorrit Jensen”
“Jennifer was really kind and upfront about caring for my dogs who have some anxiety. She has such knowledge and skill she could manage them with aplomb and it allows me to feel comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care. If your dog likes lots of space and other dogs to play with then this could be a place for them!”
“Alex was super flexible with drop off and pick up arrangements, offered a pre-stay tour, and was conscientious about our dog’s needs. Our dog was very calm and contented when we picked her up, looked like she was enjoying herself in regular photo updates, and I know she’ll enjoy visiting with Alex again on our next trip :). Thanks for the care and attention you provided to Bailey, Alex and S!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was ten years old and love getting to know them. I will be their calm and confident leader. Safety is my top priority (with fun being close behind) I will tailor each visit to the individual pet depending on their needs and personality. I run with my dog Daisy 4-6 miles a day and would love to adventure with yours! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Beginning in the Fall I will be available every Wednesday & Thursday morning for walks/jogs. As of now I am available for boardings anytime. For walks and jogs I am currently available at various times throughout the week. We are diligent about keeping our doors shut for our pets safety. Our dog has a long leash she can use in order to explore our backyard whenever she wants. I am adaptable and happy to follow each owner’s specific requirements for their home and keep the pets safety as my top priority.
“Nick and Rebecca were wonderful. Not only are they caring people for pets, they have a great open property for your dog to roam freely. We will be return customers when we're back on Orcas Island.”
“We went to New Zealand for 6 weeks. Alisa looked after Lucy and sent us photos. Alisa communicated often and sent us photo’s of Lucy relaxing in the house, playing with Haiko and going on walks. If I asked any questions, Alisa responded quickly. I knew that Lucy was well looked after, and because of Alisa’s care we were never worried and could enjoy our time away. I will only use Alisa and family in future to look after Lucy. I recommend Alisa highly.”

About: I am a 29 year old woman who loves creatures big and small. I had my dog for 16 years and loved her to pieces. I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I currently have open availability to watch pets, whether stopping in during the day or spending a week with them. I understand pets like to be in their own environment and I can help them continue their routine, while you are away. I can adjust to your dogs routine. If they need feeding at certain times or take medication, it's all about them. I can provide cuddles and treats or let them lounge around, whatever they're feeling.
“My Rover sitter for my cats was fantastic. He answered all my questions, sent daily updates, and even captured photographic evidence of my cat giving him a high five, which I did not know was possible. Nick was personable, reliable, and clearly won my cats over. I would absolutely recommend him.”
About: I have had pets of all kinds (dogs, cats, gerbils, goats, chickens, peacocks, lizards, a rat, and a pot-bellied pig) since I was a child. I love animals of every type and age. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of time to love, care for, and play with your pets! I cannot wait to meet them! I will treat your pet(s) and your home with the utmost care.

About: Hello! I'm currently working to get into Veterinary school, and I have gained a vast range of animal experience because of this. I spend a good amount of time volunteering at animal shelters providing enrichment to cats and dogs. In my personal life I've always had some type of animal around, currently I have on cat I take care of. I've had experiences working with pets in a veterinary clinic as well.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Argyle
“Nick and Rebecca were great! They were responsive to texts and sent me a couple of pupdates while they were watching Peach. They seem to be very accustomed to caring for dogs and made sure they had enough information to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable staying with them.”
“Gabriel took great care of Winston and gave me lots of updates. Winston got plenty of walks and love and he was clearly a very happy pup when I returned. Really appreciated Gabriel’s flexibility as I reached out the night before. Would definitely recommend.”
“Roxy is a great dog sitter and our dog was comfortable and happy in her care. We received photos and updates daily, which I really appreciated. Great place for him to socialize with other dogs of all sizes. He was definitely well cared for and came back more confident around other dogs. Would definitely recommend and will use her again!”
“Chelsey was absolutely amazing! She saved my day by accepting my last minute request within 3 hours. She took incredible care of my pug Hulu, and her own pug, Nigel, was so friendly and welcoming. Hulu had such a great time playing with them that she didn’t even want to leave!”
“Beth was nothing but amazing from start to finish. We were on the island for my wife's work event and she suggested we get a sitter so my son and I could explore the island dog-free for the day. With less than 24 hours notice we found Beth, she responded immediately and confirmed quickly. She asked all of the right questions so you could tell she really cared. My 12 year old son was worried about leaving the dogs, but Beth sent us text updates and posted pics and videos to a Google folder throughout the day. She took them for multiple walks and a hike. They came home happy and tired...they definitely had their best time on the island with Beth. I can't say enough good things, she was fantastic.”
“Nicole & Cody were exactly what we were looking for in the Oak Harbor area. Not only did they keep our pup, safe, but communicated easily, and ensured a worn out pup was returned after a fun filled day. Would definitely recommend.”

“Shravistha and her husband were very warm and welcoming from the moment I dropped off my puppy. I explained that this was my puppy’s first time staying with a dog sitter, and they were both very understanding, patient, and caring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was safe and comfortable. It was clear that they genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. My puppy received lots of attention, affection, and excellent care. I truly appreciated the regular updates and communication. I highly recommend Shravistha to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! 🐾❤️”
“Nick and Chialin were amazing with Frankie. Nick took special care insuring our girl had a relaxed, comfortable afternoon at their place. Took her for a nice walk and hung out with her while being kind and attentive. She came home relaxed and happy. Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”
“Bianca was great with our little guy Bruno, she was very accommodating when we had some issues with our building and had to change the schedule. She is responsive and we will not hesitate to bring our dog to her care next time we require it.”
“I felt very lucky to find a sitter that would take my pup and Tannis (and her patient family) spent quality time with my girl. Her location was perfect for me, I picked up a very happy puppy, and I could not feel more confident leaving my sweet girl in her care. Thank you Tannis!”
“Vicki helped me out on short notice and even let me come by the night before to ensure my dog would get along ok with her two cocker spaniels. Really close to UVIC so it was easy for me to drop off my pup and get to class. Thanks Vicki!”
“Ali is so gentle and has great energy. My little girl can take longer than usual to adjust to new settings and Ali gives her the space she needs. I am so happy I found her! Thank you!”
“Andrea took my dog in last minute and freed up some days to watch her longer. I was able to bring macie to her house beforehand to see if Macie was comfortable and could trust her giving all of Macie’s medications. She also sent me photos everyday which I really appreciated !”
“Hazel had a blast hanging out with Jax! She came home happy, tired, and well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time, and we’d definitely trust Virginia with Hazel again!”

“Nick is a very professional, knowledgeable and skilled dog walker. He is building a solid positive relationship with our dog Nanuk (a 1 year old Labrador) who is excited to go with Nick on his walks and happy and calm when he gets home. I know Nanuk is in great hands with Nick and would absolutely recommend!”

“This was our first Rover experience and we couldn’t be happier. Kelly was outstanding to work with: communicative, flexible, cheerful, and dog competent. We will use her again, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Kelly!!!”

“Sarah has watched our dogs twice now and both times has been a wonderful communicator, asks questions, and sends pics/updates of the dogs. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Our second time booking with her. She kept me updated all the time and kept the smile on Oreo’s face. Our flight time was also too early, she was so kind to adjust and accept our booking. 💜💚 I think Oreo misses her pup already - looks like they became best buds!”
“Ella had a fun time with Criofan. She was happy to leave me and play with the other dogs on the property and she was happy at pick up time. Criofan was easy to deal with. She responded to texts promptly and eagerly set up a meet and greet time beforehand. She sent me photos to show what Ella was doing while under her care.

“We have had Heather and her family for a year now and we always feel safe leaving her with them. She is always so happy and tired (in a good way) when she comes home. Thank you!!”
“I am a return client and my dog Charlie always has a good time with them. Good communication and they were able to accommodate a short notice request. Glad to have found a great sitter :)”
“Virginia was amazing! She was available last minute to take care of our dog. She sent updates and pictures and Blue - our dog got extra attention from her kids. I will definitely be bringing Blue back to her house for more dog sitting.”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“It was such a treat to find someone we could leave our pup with. It was the first time we've left her with someone and she's 5.5 years old! I felt very comfortable leaving her after reading the reviews and also because Bill and Gerie came for a walk with us and saw how I handled her fear reactivity. We had the best staycation while we did a trial weekend. We did get updates which helped with our worries. Our dog was happy to see us but would have been very happy to stay as well. 🙂”
“Amelia and Thomas were great guardians for my border collie Seeka! They watched him for a few nights and gave me regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. Seeka seemed to get along great with their pup Biscuit as well. Amelia and Thomas were easy to communicate with and they made the whole process seamless. I hope to have them sit Seeka again this summer while on the island”
“My Bernese Mtn Dog, Luna, stayed with Monica for a week in August 2025. Despite the hot weather, Luna was cooled by the well-treed secure back yard and AC in the house. Their location in a quiet area with walks in the forest made it the perfect place for our dog. Monica and her partner were excellent, and we will use them for sure in the future! Highly recommended!”
“We are very impressed with the care that Heather provided for our boy Duncan. Our dog is on a lot of different medications given at different times of the day and the schedule was followed to a T. Will be keeping Heather in mind for the future. Thanks for treating our boy like the Prince he is!”
“Jael and her family made our dog feel right at home! Drop-off and pick-up were quick and easy, and when we returned, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve tried kennels before and our pup came back stressed and underweight — but with Jael, it was the complete opposite. Stella ate well, played, and looked so content when we picked her up. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like family, but Jael truly does. We couldn’t recommend her more — 10/10 experience!”
“Rachel was great! Good communication and very friendly. We were on holiday from the states and our schedule changed a lot due to drive times and sightseeing. Rachel was very kind to pivot with us. Also, one of our dogs had special instructions with his medication, and she handled it without skipping a beat. She took great care of our boys! Would highly recommend her!”
“We felt so grateful and comfortable leaving our 110 lb “puppy” with Nicole and Cody!! Not everyone is comfortable with his very large and energetic puppy enthusiasm, but they handled him with loving understanding and firmness - which he needs. He had so much fun with all his new buddies - and came home happy and exhausted. Thank you!”
