“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.”
“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.”
“Jack had a great time staying with Chelsea and her dogs and other boarders. I appreciated Chelsea’s willingness to accept a lengthy last minute request when my usual sitter canceled. Her communication was great, she clearly cares for dogs, and her facilities are excellent. I would highly recommend her services to any of my family and friends.”
“Timber enjoyed his week with Kelsey. We appreciated the fenced yard and picture updates of Timber playing and having fun. Timber seemed calm and settled when we picked him up. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Thank you for the great communication and caring for our fur babies! All of the play, walks and snuggles were greatly appreciated by our pups, washing his jacket was a very nice bonus!”
“Our golden, Bessie, loved her time with Nick and didn’t want to leave! It’s a great home with a gorgeous view and plenty of space for pets. Nick was very kind, easy to communicate with and sent cute pictures. I’m so glad to have this wonderful option for our visits to Orcas that sometimes include non-dog friendly events.”
“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Tara had a wonderful stay with Maryanne and her family, including her own fur baby. She loved sharing the couch with them and I hear hogged the space in front of the fireplace (sorry about that!). I really appreciated seeing the photos of her enjoying her time there. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Kelsey was wonderful overall! She gave daily updates, took my dog on walks, and was very flexible and easy to work with and clearly someone who truly loves animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. Highly recommend! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Huxley had a great time at Andrea's. Andrea doesn't over treat which in Huxley's case very good. Daily walks morning, afternoon and evening. The pictured shoed Huxley resting and laid back. I know he was well looked after to him Andrea's home felt like home.”
“Great second stay. We'll keep using Cade as needed. Liva is a happy girl there and well cared for. I feel at ease and unworried while we're gone. Cade is easy to communicate with and keeps us updated with messages and pictures. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Trinity made my experience so easy and stress free. Lucy had a great time and returned home tuckered out from a weekend of fun! I would definitely book time with her again and recommend her to anyone in need!”
“Leslie was wonderful! First time we’ve ever left our 2 senior chihuahuas with anyone other than family. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care! Thank you so much!”
“Leslie provided an excellent boarding experience for our Frenchie, Kahi. My husband and I are always nervous to leave Kahi, but this time we felt more at ease knowing she was in great hands with Leslie. Leslie welcomed Kahi into her home and was knowledgable of what Kahi needed to feel safe and comfortable. She was diligent to provide daily updates and pictures. The pictures showed that Kahi was well-adjusted to Leslie’s home and having a great time playing and bonding with Leslie’s pups. We trusted Kahi was safe with Leslie which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend!”
“My dachshund, Poppy, had a great week with Julia and her family. The children shower Poppy with affection and lots of love. I always feel good about leaving Poppy with these lovely people. ❤️”
“Susan has an excellent way with my dogs. She was gentle and calming, and helped my timid one feel safe and comfortable. I feel quite confident my pups are in good hands with her!”
“Here’s the translation: It was Chai’s first time staying away from home, and we treated it as a trial run for a longer stay. Minerva was very open and kind about all our worries and questions, and she made sure to take care of Chai in every detail, always sending us updates and little news. Now Chai will be staying with her for 15 days, and we’re certain she’ll be extremely well cared for, with lots of love and attention.”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, chameleons, and rabbits throughout my life. I’ve always loved the companionship a pet provides and have enjoyed nurturing such loving animals. I am passionate about providing proper care to animals and have a calm and patient demeanor with them. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and I also enjoy hiking with dogs to keep more with their energy. I believe in the proper care and treatment of animals and will make sure that all of my effort goes into providing the best care possible. I’m very flexible and willing to pick up and drop of at the owners convenience to save them travel. I am educator so my availability is before and after school and weekends! I live a very active lifestyle which fits perfectly when adding a furry friend into my routine! In my clients home I care for the pets the same way a family member would, my job is to make your pet as comfortable as I can while you are gone.
About: I’m a proud cat person and longtime cat owner, and I’ve basically been chosen by cats my whole life. I know every cat has their own personality. Some are social and chatty, some are shy observers, and some rule the house with a quiet (or not-so-quiet) sense of authority. I love getting to know what makes each cat tick and earning their trust at their own pace. I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own little pride. Whether that means interactive playtime, respectful coexistence, or being granted the honor of lap time, I’m here for it. Drop-in visits can include feeding (even the fancy timed or automatic setups), fresh water, treats, bowl cleaning, litter box duty, playtime, and affection on your cat’s terms, of course. I’m also comfortable giving simple medications and doing light grooming. Got a specific routine? A favorite toy that must be presented just so? A cat who insists on things being done their way? Tell me everything as I genuinely love the details. I’m also happy to bring in mail and water plants while you’re away. My goal is simple: a happy, relaxed cat and a human who doesn’t have to worry!
About: I've been a trusted a reliable pet sitter for 15 years. With no kids, my schedule is flexible and I can give more time and attention to your cat or dog. I'm also very active and can take your pet for hikes/runs all day long! With a flexible work schedule and no kids, I can easily fit pet sitting into my day. I am around most weekends and care for each pet as thought they were my own. I have a fenced yard and a quiet home in a safe neighborhood. Living on Orcas, I am close to beautiful trails and parks that are dog friendly.
About: I have taken care of cats through housesitting and dropping in to feed cats over the years. I enjoy playing with felines and offering a calm presence. I can also care for several at once. I have administered medications to cats. While I don't have a great passion for deep-cleaning litter boxes, :) I am conscious and an animal's comfort and health is important to me so I am thorough and responsible.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for kittens, seniors, cats, dogs and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones!

“Nick and Rebecca were wonderful. Our pup felt right at home and was well taken care of. They kept us posted throughout the day with photos which gave us peace of mind that Beanie had settled.”
“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.”
“I am the kind of person who hates leaving their dog with anyone because I'm so paranoid the worst case scenario could happen.... Not the case with Roxanne! She was quick to get in touch with me after my initial request and very flexible with my schedule. Clooney's tail wags nonstop as soon as we pull into her driveway, and he seems to forget about me the minute we walk through the door! Roxanne sends periodic texts and pictures throughout the day, which I also love. My mind is always at ease once I drop Clooney off at Roxanne's house, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Anacortes and Oak Harbor area!”
“Chelsey was absolutely amazing. She regularly texted with pictures and updates and was quick to put my mind at ease when I found myself missing my little pup. I would 100% recommend Chelsey and will be booking again when I am back in the area.”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
“Chelsea provided us a safe, secure daycare option for our two dogs - one of which is quite fearful and difficult to board at most facilities. Our 'troubled friend' came home happy, along with his generally well-adjusted pack-mate who also did not appear stressed at all. We have already booked two more visits with Chelsea and couldn't be happier with the service that she provides.”
“Moose and I loved his stay with Mika!! They were such amazing hosts for our boy, and we could tell when we picked him up he'd had a great time :) we will DEFINITELY be asking for you again in the future! Thank you again so much!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds my whole life, including my (now passed) 17-year-old dog and my current puppy, Maggie. I understand the needs of both energetic youngsters and gentle seniors, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine - I’m used to feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on pets throughout the day. Whether it’s scheduled visits or regular walks, I’m already in the rhythm of caring for pets consistently and reliably. I have a large fenced yard and am happy to make any accommodations for your pet that are needed (crating, leash training, administering medication, etc.)
“Virginia was great. Maggie-Roo was happily tired. 💖🐾 Virginia's communication was excellent. This was Maggie-Roo's first time playing with Virginia and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended. Thank you.”
About: I have spent most of my life around dogs. As an only child my siblings were two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. As an adult I have always had at least one dog in the house and more often than not two. They are my babies, my best friends and my companions. I am currently a high school teacher which allows me to have the summer free to spend with my critters as well as yours. I am almost always available at least until August. When spending a day with me and my own fur babies your companion will have access to a backyard. Get at least one good outing/run in and have two medium sized playmates to keep them entertained. I also have the ability to crate your friend if need be.
“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have been a pet parent throughout adulthood. I have a deep love and affection for animals, and often look after the pets of family and friends as their trusted caretaker. I call myself a "whisperer" because I feel I've always known how to 'communicate' with domesticated animals and earn their trust. I'm an adjunct instructor at WWU with enough flexibility in my schedule to be available for pet care most of the time. As I considered alternative work for myself, I thought I should consider what I love to do, and pet sitting/dog walking feels like a great fit for me. I currently have a 2 year old female rescue dog who I'm 90% sure is a puggle, and 2 beautiful male cats. Traditionally I've owned boxers, but I love both big and small dogs of all kinds, puppies to seniors, as well as cats and most other pets (perhaps not insects...!). I'm reliable, friendly, patient, and love to walk, so frequent or long dog walks suit me fine. I have a flexible schedule and am available to look after your fur babies day and/or night, including day care, drop ins, boarding and house sitting. I have a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood with parks and trails close by. I'm home much of the time so my pets get a lot of attention and care, are fed on schedule, and I'm up to date on all vaccinations. My home is clean, cozy and safe.
“Lauren took wonderful care of our boys while we went to Vancouver for the day to ride bikes. It was great peace of mind to know they were safe, having fun, and were well taken care of while we were off doing our thing for the day. When we picked them up we could tell that they were happy and satisfied from a great day. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone in the area, or traveling through. If and when we come back, we’ll definitely bring our dogs to her again.”

Their communication is excellent - an abundance of photos, videos, and messages throughout her stay. Highly recommended.”

“Sophia was wonderful! Our puppy can be a little bit nervous about new people and unfamiliar situations. Sophia planned for us to meet beforehand for a puppy play date, where my dog had a great time playing with hers. She is flexible, kind, and took great care of our puppy. She sent lots of photos of Albee over the weekend. We are definitely bringing Albee back to her soon. She came highly recommended from another friend and definitely lives up to every kind word.”
