“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.”
“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.”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”
“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.”
“Lenore took great care of my dog. Scout and her dog, Rook, seemed to get along and it was great to know that she was staying in a “dog friendly house.” It can be hard to leave your dog behind with a stranger, but I felt confident that she would be well cared for.”
“Happy dog! Happy dog-mom! Chelsea was so caring-- especially during a hot spell. I trust her. It was such a relief to know our dog was in good hands so we could focus on our trip.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sarah is the finest boarding experience we’ve ever had. Our dog wriggled out of my arms and ran up to her front door- how is that for Lola’s endorsement? We get picture and text messages frequently. There is nothing I or Lola would change about Sarah. So grateful for her service and love for our Lola!”
“Kim was awesome!! She took great care of Jasmine and sent me pictures daily & was in constant communication. I could tell Jasmine was having a great time and getting a lot of love.”
“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 and her family took great care of our Loki for a week, following the care instructions we provided and sending us frequent updates and photos. We felt Loki was in great hands, we would not hesitate to recommend her and book with her again if we are ever in need again in Victoria!”
“Maryanne and her family were wonderful! They watched our 8 year old, food obsessed dogie, Stella for four nights. They took her on walks, off leash dog park time and truly let her feel like she was part of the family. Maryanne was very easy to get a hold of if necessary and provided great photo updates. I got to meet her husband, her daughter and Max (their fur baby) for a meet and great before we cemented the sleepover and I felt very confident that the family LOVES DOGS! My husband and I are thrilled with Stella's easy temperament when we picked her up, which we know is a testament to the love, care and consideration that they gave to help welcome our Stella into their family. Thank you so much, truly, it took a weight off our shoulders while we were away.”
“We had an amazing experience with Cynthia! She took care of Milo for two days and treated him like her own. She kept us updated, made sure he was comfortable, and gave him lots of attention and care. It was clear that Milo was happy and well cared for the entire time. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Trinity did a great job of looking after our senior blind/diabetic dog. Kept us informed on how she was doing. She had no problems with her special feeding schedule and giving her the insulin injection.”
“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!”
“Great experience leaving my fur baby with Chelsey. She sent photos and kept me informed about his stay. Whole heartedly recommend Chelsey for pet sitting. She really loves dogs.”

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 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.”
“Wonderful home for my dogs, she treats them just like I do! It's important to feel like your dogs are safe and happy and that's what Roxanne provides them!! Great caretaker, thank you!!”
“I loved that she had prior experience with chihuahuas! She also had a dog that my dog could play with! She was super friendly and had great communication! I'd use her again if we're in the area in the future! We had a great experience!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“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!”
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.
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.)
“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!”
“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.
“WOW! Mika was incredible! She cared for my pup like he was her own and sent so many pictures! She is a phenomenal communicator, punctual and very trustworthy! 100/10 would recommend!!”
“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 a longtime pet lover and a dedicated cat owner with over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I really believe pets are what make a house feel like home, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and clients, and I’m comfortable with all kinds of temperaments from playful and energetic to shy or senior pets who need a little extra patience. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely, so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs, as well as dog walking. Visits can include feeding (including automatic feeders), fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they’re into it!), medication, and light grooming. If you need something specific, just ask. I’m flexible and happy to help. I can also bring in mail or water plants while you’re gone. My goal is to make things easy for you and stress-free for your pet. I’d love the chance to care for them! I have a flexible work schedule. If I am free, I will be happy to care for your pet and give them the attention they desire. I will work with you to create the home environment that best suits you and your pet. Together we will create a safe and comfortable space for your pet to feel secure while you are away.

“Cade and his family took wonderful care of our pup Luna. We were overseas for 3 weeks, which felt like an eternity away from her, but we felt happy & confident in the care she was receiving. This was our first time leaving her anywhere so we couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. Cade sent updates and photos almost daily and that was great for us. Seeing her & hearing how she was doing helped us feel at ease. They made her part of the family & she got lots of love and attention. The huge enclosed outdoor space they have is beautiful for roaming, walks & hanging out in the sun. We could see how much Cade loves dogs and his knowledge and experience was helpful and welcomed as Luna has only been with us for 6 months. We will absolutely bring Luna back to Cade’s anytime we need boarding for her. Thank you Cade :)”
“Criofan is absolutely amazing with dogs! It’s so clear how much she truly loves and cares for animals. She was incredibly dedicated to our dogs’ well-being, safety, and happiness the entire time. Her dog Albert was the perfect companion and brought so much joy, exercise, and positive energy to our dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“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!”
“Kendra was phenomenal with my our dog! We've used her services on another vacation about a year ago, and our dog definitely remembered! Clear communication with regular updates and photos. 10/10!”
“Heather was awesome. Great communication from beginning to end and King was so well taken care of. They accommodated our late return at pick up and even purchased toys to keep him busy. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter.”
“Our dog Roxy had a wonderful stay with July and her family. They cared for her like she was part of their family. She got lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. They even gifted her some throwing balls that she loved during her stay. July was very good at communicating with us before and during our stay. She sent pictures multiple times a day and updated us on how Roxy was doing, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Roxy stay with her family again!”
“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”
