Personalized care for your dog or cat - Decatur

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Decatur
“We found Kelsey and honestly feel like we hit the jackpot. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and our pups, Lexi and Charlie, making sure it was a good fit—and that little extra care made us feel totally at ease leaving them during our honeymoon. She made the whole process effortless, stayed in great communication, and sent us the perfect amount of updates—just enough to ease our dog-parent hearts without making us too jealous that our dogs were clearly living their best lives. The photo updates were a highlight (Lexi’s modeling career may have peaked). The best part? Lexi and Charlie came home happy, tired, and weirdly… better behaved? Not sure what kind of magic Kelsey worked, but we’re here for it. Her home is lovely, and her sweet dogs made great vacation buddies for ours. We’ve already told our family how amazing she is, and there’s no question—we’ve found our go-to pup-sitter. 10/10 would book again. – Jermaine & Steve”

“Kelsey took wonderful care of our dog, Ruby, while we were out of town for a few days. Ruby had so much fun with Kelsey’s dogs and you could tell she instantly felt at home. Thank you so much for treating her like your own!”

“Sarah takes such great care of Truman every time he stays with her. She's so kind and patient with the challenges he's facing as an older dog. She sends us regular photos and updates so we know he's doing well. Truman actually gets excited when we pull up in front of her house for a stay!”

“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“I appreciate the care Jack received. He got along with her dogs and now is doing better with other dogs. He adjusted well being in a different environment and was happy to see me when I picked him up”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Brianna! She boarded our two dogs for several days and went above and beyond in every way. She sent frequent update photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and was incredibly attentive to all of their needs. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Brianna was accommodating, reliable, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dog care!”

“Kelsey took very good care of my dog 🐶 she’s very kind and kept me in the loop on what my dog was up to throughout the days. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to have her sit their fur babies! ❤️”

“Very happy with the sleepover, will recommend! I had been worried due to my boy being bigger at 70lbs but we had a good greet and meet. Thank you for a wonderful stay”

“Jael was a great Rover find and we will definitely book her for future stays! We received regular updates and photos while we were gone. Gus got lots of attention from Jael and her family (as seen in photos). We are happy to have found a new Rover home for Gus. Thank you Jael and family!”

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were treated with love and attention the entire time. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. It made being away so much easier. We will absolutely be booking again with Danielle”

“Nick took excellent care of our 12 year old chihuahua mix. Our dog settled right in for his 5 night stay. We received photos and updates, and Nick was very accommodating is letting us pick our pet up for daytime adventures on the island. Good communication and beautiful home.”

“We needed a last minute sitter due to some change of plans. Ratih was very accommodating and flexible. I also appreciated the timely communication. Thank you for being a great cat sitter - Bubbie enjoyed his stay.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Decatur
“We give Roxy 5 stars for her dog daycare. Our Basset Hound Stella needed somewhere to go while we had an appointment that was going to take us away from home for most of the day. We reached out to Roxy and set up a meet and greet. Stella was introduced to one of her current dogs in her care. All went well and then Stella met the other dogs spending the day with her. Roxy has a wonderful way about her with dogs. She is wonderful at ensuring that a new potential client is compatible with her existing clients before she will bring you into her care. The process was extremely professional and detailed. We were fortunate that Stella integrated well into her care. Roxy provided photo updates on how Stella was doing and we couldn't be more thrilled to now have a place for Stella to go when we need to be gone for the day. If you are looking for a doggy day care I would highly recommend you reach out to Roxy.”

“Nick & Rebecca are very sweet and caring. They took in Clementine on a very last minute request and she had a great and relaxing time with them in their beautiful home. She had a good time with their doggo too ☺️ Thank you! We hope to see you again!”

“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.”

“First time using service. Our pups were treated so well! You can tell they both love animals. Everything was tailored to them. Great experience. Would recommend both Nicole and Cody!”

“William was a joy to work with. He was very tolerant handling our ever changing scheduling beginning and ending his care of our doggie. We needed a sitter of our dog while we went out on a boat tour for several hours necessary because we were visiting from a community a few hours distant. All became very confusing when the scheduled sitter cancelled at the last moment. William calmed us and managed our concerns with grace. AND, our doggie was very pleased and happy.”

“Virginia and family took great care of Shay. I will call upon Virginia next time in town and in need of a doggie sitter. We were in town last year or early 2023 and she took great care of Shay then. I give her quad A+ rating !”

“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.”


“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!”

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.
“Sarah was great with watching Kaia for doggy day care! She had great communication and sent several pictures throughout the day. We would definitely use her again to watch Kaia! Thank you! 🐾✨”

“Whiskey had a great time with Bri! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing the whole time. She's absolutely phenomenal, we're so glad she watched him for us!”

“Morgan did a great job watching Sparky. Sparky really enjoyed playing with her dogs. Morgan was very nice and friendly and she was able to take Sparky very early in the morning. We will definitely leave Sparky with her again.”


About: I believe dogs have the best souls on earth. Enjoy hiking, playing in the yard, or simply being in their space. I also enjoy training from puppy to advanced agility. I’ve trained a couple different types of dogs and a bird ranging in ages. Also able to transport locally to homes, vet, and or parks. My late sweet Pepper dog and I were Project Caine certified as a Therpy team, volunteers at island hospital, and Master Agility Champions. We look forward to meeting with other awesome dogs and their owners. I work in the travel industry, so my schedule varies. I usually know a couple weeks in advance. My spouse’s schedule varies too. Sometimes we are available 24/7 We treat Pets as Family in our home.🥰. We live on acreage close to Deception Pass. We have experience with administering 💊 medication to young and older fur babies 🐾
“I really appreciate Sara‘s willingness to help me out with my baby. My dog is not used to be around so many other dogs. for me. It was not a fit because of that reason. Sara was great ,no complaints about her. But my little senior is always Best one on one or with only one or two other small dogs.”

“Katrina is a gem - quick responses, and was very easy going and willing to roll with it when I (embarrassingly) forgot my dog's bag of lunch, toys, etc. the first time I brought him over. I don't think he even missed his things, given how well her place is set up for dogs. The big, fenced back yard is a dream!”

“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”

“Absolutely cannot recommend Criofan enough. Her and her partner made an amazing home away from home for our pup. He has a forever best friend with her sweet pup Albert and was so well taken care of. Perfect experience for us”


“This was our second time booking with Bianca and it was another great experience. Our dog was well cared for, we got regular updates, and it was clear she was comfortable and happy. Highly recommend and will book again!”

“Sara and Cannon took great care of my dog for 2 nights while we were away. They were quick to respond and send updates. My dog doesn't like to eat sometimes when he stays at Rovers, and they were able to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. He also can be a little weird about some of others, especially larger ones. But they have a smart separation and introduction system, so my dog warmed up nicely and got along well with all the other dogs and enjoyed playing. My dog really enjoyed snooping around their fenced backyard too! I recommend Sara for sitting your dog!”
About: I grew up around dogs all my life! I used to volunteer watching over my friends dogs. I understand how precious each and every dog is, and I intend to treat them with the loving they deserve! I work full time Monday thru Friday. I get home around 4:30. But I am usually free on the weekends. Just shoot me a message and I’ll come watch your pups! I have a fenced in back yard, filled with grass. I have a couple of shiba Inus. They are sweet and love meeting new friends!
“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!”


“Adrienne and her two boys provided the kind of love and care I want my dog to receive when we are away. Adrienne is flexible, responsible and a delight to work with and accommodated us upon our return due to a delay in air travel. I received many photos and was immediately assured that our sweetie was in a great place. Thank you Adrienne ( and your sons) for being so darn nice.”
