“Rebecca and Nick are truly “dog people”. They took great care of our little guy and sent us pictures/updates almost everyday while we were away. We are super happy to have such a high-quality dog care option on Orcas.”
“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”
“Vicki was very welcoming and also accommodated my early drop off time and late night pick up for my puppy. Despite him being a puppy that is not completely potty trained she welcomed him warmly and when I picked him up afterwards he was exhausted from playing all day in her yard with her dogs! Thank you for a good first experience on rover :)”
“Kelsey was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so glad we landed Kelsey for our first! She was responsive, gave us proactive updates, and took amazing care of our pooch. Next time we go away, Kelsey will be our first reach out!”
“Sarah took special care of our dog Mosey- she sent daily pics, and gave him the attention he needs as an older gentleman! She's the best dogs dogsitter a person could hope for!!!”
“Bianca took great care of my dog! We got daily updates and she was wonderful with communication. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We really appreciated everything and highly recommend Bianca!”
“Kelsey and family cared for Lola while we went on a trip. Pictures of Lola made being away from her more bearable. She was so well cared for- we feel like Kelsey would be our #1 choice next time we travel. We recommend Kelsey to anyone who is looking for an excellent home away from home for their dog.”
“Daisy and family were great with Lucas! Daisy offered time for a meet and greet beforehand which was helpful. Lucas seemed to have a great time and he was cared for well. We’d happily recommend Daisy. Thanks for taking great care of Lucas!”
“We were so happy that Maggie enjoyed her stay with Andrea. Loved receiving a picture of her and hearing about her time with Andrea when we picked her up. Thanks for the wonderful care you gave her !!!”
“We had a great experience boarding with Criofan, she is kind, caring, and wonderful with animals. Her home and beautiful fenced property are set up thoughtfully to provide a fun and safe environment with lots of fresh air and exercise. We really appreciated the great communication and photo updates. Our dog was well cared for and made some new best friends. Thanks again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Even though my dog caused them a lot of trouble, Kevin&Kayla still loved my dog until the end. I'm grateful to them. They are very nice people. If they would allow me, I would like to ask them again.”
“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 did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”
“Barbara is great! Outstanding communication from start to finish. And most importantly, our quirky little Molly seemed immediately at home. She can be unpredictable in her eating and eliminating habits, and also needs a daily medication but Barbara was understanding, patient and took it all in stride and I was fully confident that Molly was in good hands and we could enjoy our pet free holiday. I highly recommend her and she will be our first choice to care for Molly.”
“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.”
“Ben had a great stay with Tiana! He loves it there and runs right to her when we arrive. Tiana is a great communicator. We love all the pics of Ben and seeing him play with all the other pups!”

“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.”

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.

I pride myself on being a punctual and consistent person. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time and attention they need, whether its daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship.

With attention to detail and genuine affection for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine and personality.
About: Hi my name is Isabella and I and a wildlife biologist who loves animals! I grew up with pets who I have taken care of since I was 10. After graduating from UW in 2025 I recently spent a year in Australia pet-sitting across the country. I absolutely loved caring for so many dogs and cats while I was there. I have experience with energetic puppies, senior dogs that require medication, dogs with leash aggression, and many cats as well. I am extremely tidy and will always treat your pets like family. After a year abroad, I am currently living at home with my parents so I have a lot of free time. I am very happy to hang out with your pets all day! I care for pets at their house. I am happy to stick to their normal routine. I love to go for walks and runs so I will walk them as much as they like. I am a very organized and tidy person and I will always be very respectful of your house.

“Nick and Rebecca were excellent with our Bailey! They sent numerous pics, took her for a walk and let her snuggle on the sofa just like home! Bailey was relaxed and happy when we arrived and she’d love to stay with them again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Bethany was so great with my dog Bean. She took him to the park, played fetch, and gave him so much love. He was exhausted after and I can tell he had the best day. We will definitely reach out to Bethany again!”
“Daniely took such great care of our little Maya! As a three month old, Maya requires consistent attention and care, and is still learning biting inhibition and walking. Daniely was patient with Maya's needs and gave regular updates throughout the day; she's also great at communicating and responds promptly, which is helpful to anxious parents! We also appreciate that Daniely took our last-minute booking and schedule changes, her flexibility was a welcome asset. Will definitely book again!”
“Bianca was wonderful! She had great communication and sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated. My dog is very shy and timid, but Bianca did an amazing job and made her feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Criofin was great! Our pup is shy with new people and had never done daycare before, but he got comfortable quickly playing with the other dogs. At the end of the day we had a very happy and tired dog. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Chris and Amy were great with Leo he seemed happy and exhausted when he came home. They were good at communication, sent lots of photos and asked good questions. They were very tolerant of our high energy puppy! Thanks!”
“Andrea has been so patient with our new puppy, she treats her as if she was a part of the family. I have no doubt Nyx is already looking forward to her next visit!”
“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!”
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Chris is such a wonderful & skilled sitter! We leave our 3month old puppy Maya with him (and his two doggies) three days a week, and have complete confidence in him. He provides regular updates throughout the day, is a great communicator, and flexible when we need our schedule slightly adjusted. Maya is always excited to see him and happy when we pick her up!”
“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.”
“Chrystalla took amazing care of our dog when we visited Victoria and needed a safe place to leave Luna for few hours. Her place is conveniently located close to Empress hotel and waterfront. Highly recommended!”

“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!”
“Thank you so much Matt! You took on the impossible task of BOONE!!! You were great with this wild bunch! You put my mind at ease while I was at work for 12 plus hours knowing that my babies and BOONE were safe with you!! You’re awesome! Thank you again!!!”

We will definitely use Heather again!”
About: I grew up with at minimum 4 dogs at all times, ranging from Border collies, to Shepard mixes, to Jack Russell and fox terriers. I learned from a young age the best way to train dogs specific to their breeds and personalities and I have lots of experience caring for pups from the day they were born into old age. I understand the importance of exercise, routine and play for our furry friends. I say I have 7 years of experience caring for pets, but really it is 30+ years at this point, the 7 years comes from a boom in friends getting dogs and the beginning of me taking care of their pets when they go on vacation, have family/medical emergencies etc. I live less than a block from a park that is off-leash-optional (the park has a cute communal dog toy box also) and I live in a quiet neighbourhood where I can stroll with your pup on-leash for exercise if that is preferred. I also carry my own pups to designated off leash areas where they can run forest trails with me, or just hike around. Depending on your pups needs and what you and I discuss, play/exercise time for your pup may involve all three. My home has a fenced in back yard which is great for toilet breaks and serves as a play area also, if your pup is so inclined :) I have two pups of my own, a Border Collie and a Wire Haired Griffon, both friendly gals, the Border Collie is becoming a senior gal and generally pays no attention to other dogs past an introductory sniff, the Griffon is 4 years old and loves to play if your pup is willing, if not, no issues, she is not forceful in anyway. I can say with confidence that your pups will be in safe hands,well taken care of and loved while I am looking after them. I work a flexible schedule from my home office. My doggy caring day typically starts with at least a 30 - 40 min neighbour hood walk before 8:00 am. Backyard toilet and exercise breaks around 10:00. 30 - 40 min neighbourhood/park lunch walk around noon. More toilet/stretch the legs breaks around 2:00. Off-leash Forest walk around 4:30/5:00 (Or on-leash depending on the pup, and if a forest walk doesn't suit, then more time in the beautiful neighbourhood often heading to a larger fenced in municipal park about 10 mins walk away) Obviously, meals are given as per your pups schedule and lots of treats throughout the day (unless you tell me not to) I have a fully fenced in back yard, with two friendly pups for company for your pup. The house itself is very dog friendly, pups are allowed onto the couch, but not the beds or other furniture. There are many dog beds in various rooms for pooches to sleep in as they wish. When walking/exercising your dog, I will only walk your dog on-leash in the neighborhood and in any area that is not well fenced in. If your dog is reactive, timid, has any health concerns we can discuss and I will be sure to adjust my routine around those needs. I will do exactly what you ask of me when it comes to feeding, play, keeping your pup on-leash, treats etc. Should the unlikely happen and I need to bring your dog to a vet unexpectedly, I will have your contact details, your vets contact details and I live within 5 mins drive of the emergency vet hospital. Your pup will be well looked after.
“Pepper had a great stay with Anqian and Alexandre! Great communication back and forth, pictures were sent for updates, and instructions were followed promptly. Great choice for boarding!”
“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.”
“Ben had a great stay with Tiana! He loves it there and runs right to her when we arrive. Tiana is a great communicator. We love all the pics of Ben and seeing him play with all the other pups!”
“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!”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
“Phenomenal experience. Prompt responses, amazing communication, my pup absolutely adored her and was exhausted once I brought her home. Highly recommend and will be using again”
