“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.”
“This was my second time having Nick and Rebecca watch my cats. They did an amazing job giving me updates as usual! I always feel comfortable leaving my cats with them because I know they will take great care of them!”
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
“Kelsey and family are a lovely home for our little Yorkie. I appreciate having a local, quality dog sitting arrangement. I have no hesitation recommending Kelsey as a pet companion and home sitting service.”
“There was very good communication from the beginning of the book till the end. I appreciated the updates with pictures of my dog. I would definitely rebook with Kimberly in the future. Service was 10/10.”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
“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!”
“Lenore and her doggie were both absolutely amazing to our boy. Every day Lenore sent us pictures and videos which put us at ease and made us smile. Our boy had an amazing time and was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”
“Sarah was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and with every text that followed. For consideration, our 3 doggies are very friendly, do not resource guard, do not jump on people and are not chewers or destructive. We left them 36 hours during a family trip at Deception Pass. Sarah is a professional dog watcher; day care and overnight, with a fenced yard for the dogs to wander. We received multiple photos of our 3 doggies together and with other dogs who were in her care, indoors and out. Our pups had tails wagging when we arrived to pick them up. I would use Sarah again if I am in the area needing a safe, friendly place for our pups.”
“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 have nothing but good things to say about Ratih. My cat, Noni, is the biggest critic of pet sitters, and both times now when I have returned to pick him up, he completely ignores me upon my arrival—I think he might have found a new favorite person!”
“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”
“Adrienne took such great care of our dog Lyra! We were really happy to know she was with someone who was responsible, caring, and friendly. We appreciated the regular updates and knowing that our dog was well looked after while we were on vacation. Adrienne and her family were really sweet to Lyra and we’d happily rebook again.”
“Bailey had a great time with her new friends. She was kept active and comforted when she was fussy ( new place syndrome 😁) She has a new buddy in Ollie and I couldn't be happier for her care! We'll be back!”

“Nick was great with our pup Sadie. Took her for the day while we were out whale watching. We got some great pictures throughout the day and would definitely trust Nick with Sadie again!”
“We appreciate Kelsey so much!!! ! Sorcha and Rabinson were the happiest pups at pick up each day. It was so easy to schedule and we’re so grateful for her acceptance with our short-ish notice for care. The pups had a beautiful yard to play in and loved getting attention and love from Kelsey and family. 100% recommend!!!”
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”
“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.”
“Alexis is the best! My girl came home from daycare so tired and happy from playing with the other pups. Pick up and drop off is so convenient also, and allows for a worry-free day.”
“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had at least one of my own for the last 20 years. They truly are the best friends! We have a sweet 3-year old rescue poodle mix, Mimi, who does really well with other dogs. We'd love to have your dog or cat stay with us and join in our walks and hikes and cuddles! I have had a reactive/leash reactive dog and as much as I know they can be the sweetest pups when on their own, I can't take on these dogs anymore. It creates too much anxiety for me. I live on a street where there is a constant flow of neighbor dogs both on and off leash and the trails are packed with dogs these days so it's a guarantee we will meet other dogs while we are out and about. I work from home and love to get outside and explore the beautiful trails around Bellingham. When not out sniffing the trails me and your pet will be snuggled up relaxing together. There is a fence area for visiting pets to relieve themselves (it includes about 10 stairs). I love to hike and walk and will make sure your pet gets all the movement they need. I love to snuggle too so when not out and about you can rest assured that your pet is getting lots of love and cuddles.
About: I have been pet sitting for the a couple years, caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of settings. I have experience with multi-dog households, including overnight stays for over a week as well as shorter visits, holiday stays, play dates and walks. My experience includes walks, drop in care, feeding and meal routines, administering medications, avoiding pet allergies and of course playtime! I have dog sat for puppies less than two months old to senior dogs with mobility issues who need extra care, diets and sensitivity. I have grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, so I am very comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities. I genuinely love animals and prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I am currently out of school for the summer, working part time and focusing on side work, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I have open availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable care in my client’s home by following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, giving any medications as directed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation through walks, play, and positive interaction. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I give clients updates and photos during my stay, and always leave a summary of my time with their pets at the end!
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 🐾
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Irene :)! I'm an all around animal lover, but especially dogs. I have a husky named Nova, so I have experience caring for and understanding dogs and cats of different personalities (huskies are part cat too, right?). I love spending time with them, playing, going for a walks, hikes, runs and making sure they're happy and safe. Although I enjoy activity daily, I also can handle the needs and care for lower energy/senior dogs. I'm responsible, punctual, and just enjoy being around animals. I'd be delighted to take care of your dogs or cats! I’m home most of the day since I study remotely. I might go out for a couple of hours to run errands, but aside from those times, I’m usually either at home or out in the mountains with my dog, Nova. So pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to give her plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship :) I would preferably care for pets in their own home, as my apartment is fairly small. I love keeping dogs active and happy through walks, runs, and hikes when appropriate and with the owners’ approval. And of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m also happy to follow each pet’s routine and the owners’ instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for
“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.”

“Bethany his kind, empathetic and a real gem of a walker( she does all the rest too) . I got a rescue that had never left the house and is kinda difficult while she adjusts and does not know how to walk with a leash. While I only needed walking, Bethany living close, offered to look out for her during the day taking her home ( not suggesting she will do the same) until she felt comfortable on her own. Trust me and trust your dog with her, worth every penny.”
About: Hi pet owners! Pets make me so happy and I wish I could be with them all the time! I am not able to have a pet in Bellingham so I would love to take care of yours! I have cat and dog sat and dog walked more times than I can count and I love it! Thanks for considering, I am hoping to use my earnings to travel during the spring! I have a very light work/school schedule! I am gone at most 2-5 hours at a time. I would love to watch you pet at my house or at yours! I love to play with pets, give them lots of snuggles, take them to the park, and walk them, I like to hang out outside with them!

“Cade was a fantastic Rover. He was on top of his communication, has a great property that our dog was able to enjoy, and was really flexible. We ran into a problem where our travel plans were delayed and Cade was happy to let our dog stay another night. I would highly recommend Cade to watch your dog and will be rebooking next time we need a rover.”

“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
