Personalized care for your dog or cat - Lopez Island

“Would highly recommend Kelsey. I felt so comforted knowing my dog was in such loving hands. So grateful! Absolutely great experience boarding with her.”

Rebecca S.

“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.”

Jesse P.

“I’m so happy to have found Kelsey. It was my first time boarding Momo so I was a little anxious. I knew she’d be in home hands once I dropped her off. Kelsey was calm, attentive and knowledgeable. He responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend Kelsey and would love to come back.”

Trisha T.

Claire W.

“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.”

Sharon T.

“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!!”

Ashley B.

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.

“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!”

Julie D.

“Virginia took great care of our puppy while we were away. I highly recommend her. We felt great knowing that she was in a loving home with sweet people.”

Carol & Curt R.

“Barbara was great, she sent pictures while we were away, and I could tell she really cared. She answered all questions. Barbara's response was immediate, which is very nice when your doggie is somewhere else. Would book Barbara again. Dorrit Jensen”

Dorrit J.

“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!”

Caroline L.

“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!”

Sarah K.

“We are so lucky to have Daisy & her family take care of Corkey again. He’s always so happy and well-cared for. I especially like that the whole family is involved in the care. No hesitations with asking them to take our Corkey again!”

maria k.

“Airabell had a great stay! When I went to pick her up she was wagging her tail to go back in. Chelsey was accommodating and communicated very well. The picture of how she was doing didn't hurt :).”

Daniel R.

“My dogs obviously felt comfortable with Nicole and her dogs right from the start. She’s got a nice big fenced yard and they had fun playing together. She really helped me out in a pinch!”

Anne C.

“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”

About: A few years ago, after caring for her two cats for several weeks, a friend remarked about how she was proud to have converted me into a cat lady. I enjoy the company and independence of cats and always have a lovely time looking after them.

About: Hi! I am a freelance writer and animal lover. I have owned & cared for pets since childhood. I'm attentive, responsible, kind, & flexible.

I can also advise on diet, alternative health care and help to train through positive reinforcement. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and lizards welcome! I have openings in my clean home or can do over-nights or drop-ins at yours. Let’s build a schedule that works for you and your I’m here to support your pet getting the best possible care even when you aren’t around! I send photo updates and check in. You’ll feel at ease : ) I’m available most weekdays and weekends and am quick to respond and set up a meeting or schedule with you. Please let me know how I can best support your schedule. Well behaved and well socialized dogs are welcome in my home. Dogs who stay with us must be proven good with children as I have two young children who are very good with dogs.

“Kelsey was great! Otto got to help in the home office, hang out with other dogs, and got some outside time too. Otto can be an escape artist, but Kelsey kept him safe.”

Valerie R.

“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.”

Brian N.

“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.”

Sophy L.

“I just moved to the area and this is EXACTLY the style of daycare I was hoping to find for our lab Finlay. Free play, no cages, offers boarding, keeps her play groups to a reasonable size, and screens her clients for healthy and well-matched dogs. Roxanne had a beautiful property with lots of space for the pups. -gorgeous farm style environment and we couldn't be happier!!”

Stacey W.

“So happy with our first experience with Chelsea AND Rover. Chelsea was excellent at communicating and helping us figure out what to do with our new pup. She was flexible with our weird hours and picked him up and brought him home. She sent pictures of him tuckered out and told us all about his adventurous day. Can't wait to work with her again.”

Erin B.

“Very accomadating to my schedule! Highly recommend”

Hunter C.

“Kelsey was great watching our dog Dax while we went out to dinner. He was easy to book with and communicative. Would definitely book with him again.”

“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.”

Jay C.

“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!”

Tingting Z.

“Angela was great! We felt immediately comfortable with her at our initial meeting. She easily accommondated drop off and pick up times. Would highly recommend her services.”

Ben S.

“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.”

N B.

“Virginia was very friendly. Timber seemed calm and happy to be in this family’s home while we enjoyed an evening out. This feels like another great resource for a dog that cannot be left alone.”

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.”

Tom D.

“We are so fortunate to have found Pam. Our older, small dog, who doesn’t like to be left alone, seems to have found a new friend.”

Bill N.

“She kept me updated and Oreo had a blast! 🩵🩵”

Janela R.

“Nutchamon did a great job with Zeus. She kept me updated with pictures and messages. I’m very happy with her services. She reliable and responsive when it comes to responding to messages. I also like that she would send me pictures of him through out the day.”

Jerry C.

“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!”

Amelia K.

“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! 🐾❤️”

About: I have experience being a caretaker to both humans and animals, starting as a child growing up with fish and an adorable Basset Hound mix. I've been trusted to care for many friends' and other's pets over the years, and have experience with dog training as well as anxious, ill, and elderly pets. I can provide additional reviews through Trusted Housesitters. I'm currently nomadic, unemployed, and working on a book, so I have the flexibility to spend lots of time at home with any pets. I'm currently unemployed and working on personal writing projects, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to devote attention to your furry family members. I do have a sleep disorder and other health issues that mean that I can't accept sits with strict routines that start before 9:30am. I take care to be especially mindful of the pets' particular comforts and boundaries and do my best to keep things as normal and stable for them as possible.

“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!”

Emily D.

“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.”

About: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog lived past 15 years old, and supporting him through the health challenges that come with age taught me how to administer a wide range of medications and provide the patient, attentive care senior dogs need to stay comfortable and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, quiet companionship, or a little extra support due to age or medical needs, I’m committed to making them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to keep their routine steady, their tail wagging, and your mind at ease knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Now that I’m not working outside the home, I’m able to devote my days to something I genuinely love — caring for pets. My schedule is calm, flexible, and fully centered around being available when pet parents need me most. Whether it’s early‑morning visits, midday check‑ins, or keeping a steady routine for your pet while you’re away, I have the time and attention to make it happen. I’m an early riser, so morning feedings, walks, or drop‑ins fit naturally into my day. I enjoy starting the morning with purpose, and there’s nothing better than beginning the day with a happy tail wag or a content purr. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can offer consistent care, low‑stress routines, and quick communication — all things that help pets feel secure and help you feel confident while you’re away. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy schedule. It’s a meaningful part of my everyday life, and I’m committed to giving your pets the same calm, reliable, loving care I give my own. I’ve learned that the little details make the biggest difference. When I’m in your home, I follow a careful routine to make sure your pets stay secure, comfortable, and stress‑free. * I keep doors and gates fully secured at all times and double‑check them before leaving. * I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any special instructions. * I monitor your pet’s behavior and environment closely, making sure they’re safe, calm, and not getting into anything they shouldn’t. * I keep all medications, treats, and supplies organized and give medications exactly as directed. * I maintain a clean, hazard‑free space by ensuring food, plants, and household items are out of reach. * I stay in communication with you, sending updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. * I respect your home by locking up properly, turning off lights, and keeping everything just as I found it.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”

Rebecca B.

“Angela is amazing! My dog, Sadie developed a medical issue right before I was supposed to drop her off. After getting Sadie treated, Angela was very accommodating and administered her medication while in her care and kept me updated on her condition. I appreciated the special treats, pictures, and updates. You can immediately see Angela’s love of animals when you meet her. I am very happy with the level of care Sadie received!”

Laura V.

“We have had Heather and her family for a year now and we always feel safe leaving her with them. She is always so happy and tired (in a good way) when she comes home. Thank you!!”

Michael & Jessica D.

“Criofan took excellent care of Handsome! He had a lot of fun, and her well-trained delightful dog is H's new bestie. She was responsive, intuitive, and attentive, ensuring that H fit in, and that he remembered to eat! He came home from his adventure tired but happy. The dream! Thank you!”

Kim H.

“My dog loved his stay with Adrienne. Max daily enjoyed the fenced back yard, hanging with her family during the day, and all the walks and smells in her neighborhood. He felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Adrienne!”
