“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 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.”
“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!!”
“Nick and Rebecca watched my two cats for about a week. They were extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times! My cats felt at home and Nick and Rebecca were great with sending updates to me! I would definitely trust them with my cats any time and will be utilizing their services again in the future!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“Once again, Sarah hits it out of the park!! We love having Sarah and family take care of our Lola. She loves it at their home and they do a really awesome job!! Highly recommend her!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Bianca was amazing! Having another dog was so great and the picture updates set our minds at ease. She’ll be bored back home with us! We will definitely use Bianca again!!!”
“Vicki was available last minute to look after our Ridgeback for his very fist night away. She was so good with meeting him for the first time. She was also great about communicating with us and let us know he had settled in nicely. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Thank you Vicki! We will definitely be back!”
“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!”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Daisy and her family looked after our little rascal Toby and he had a wonderful time. He is still wandering around looking for Nina and Sonia! A lovely family home very amenable to dogs - Toby had lots of good walks, play time and cuddles. Perfect in every way 🐶”
“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!”
“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Nicole and Cody took such great care of my 5 month old puppy while we were in town for a family trip. It was one of her first times at doggy daycare, and she had a blast! Highly 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.”
“Virginia took amazing care of my 2.5 year old dog. He came home happily tired. Virginia was very communicative throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pet.”
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.
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 🐾
“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.”
“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!”
“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! 🐾✨”
“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.”
“Ramesh & Lauren are great sitters! They took wonderful care with our Dog, Georgia, and were responsive in communications. Georgia even pulls going to their place for drop off.”

“Amazing! Our Clyde had such a good time! Kinda funny as when I left him, he didn't even want to say goodbye to me. Instead just followed the children into the house to play. Perfect stay!”
“Bill and Gerrie are 2 lovely genuine people who in our absence have looked after our 2 furry family members in such a way that we are free to enjoy ourselves without worry or guilt. The personal and individual attention our dogs had during the home environment stay was great. Communication has been great throughout and we received regular updates and pictures of them both having a wonderful holiday of their own with Bill and Gerrie. We 100% recommend them both as wonderful sitters and have already booked another sitting with them going forward.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
“She took good care of Hubble. Kept me in the loop. She’s very nice, easy fast drop off and pick up. It was nice not needing to haul his crate. Just brought his food and leash.”
“Adrienne was communicative and transparent with some anxiety our dog was experiencing, and was flexibile and willing to go out of her way to accomodate her. She sent regular videos and pictures, letting us know our dog was happy and busy while we were out of town. Would recommend 100%!”
“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!”
“My first Rover experience and a very positive one! Anqian and Alexandre sent sweet updates of my cat Ham and really gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“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.”
“First we have used rover and it was awesome. Jennifer was super quick with her response/booking and dropping off ren was smooth and easy. Our kids loved the videos she sent each night of our dog playing and enjoying her time there. Would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
