“Kelsey took wonderful care of our Pippi. I appreciated the regular updates and good communication while we were away and hope to have her (and Frankie!) take care of Pippi again :)”
“Andrea was very responsive and took great care of our pup. Ou dog got lots of cuddles and was even allowed to sleep in her room despite being a snoring machine. I would certainly recommend her. Thanks Andrea and family!”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our dog, Ruby, while we were out of town for a few days. Ruby had so much fun with Kelsey’s dogs and you could tell she instantly felt at home. Thank you so much for treating her like your own!”
“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!!”
“Very thankful for Kimberly! She sent photos every day and I can tell my girls had a blast. Kimberly was extremely accommodating and took extra steps to make sure I was comfortable (this was my first time boarding). Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Kelsey was great, we'd look to have our dog Kobi stay with her again. Always quick to respond. She gave thoughtful feedback about Kobi's behavior, diet, and medication. Kobi clearly liked Kelsey and her pets and family.”
“I needed a boarder last minute for a trip and I’m so happy Daisy took Mijo in, he had an awesome time! He went for walks and played his heart out. I can tell mijo was lovingly cared for while I was away and I would definitely board mijo again with Daisy. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Our golden, Bessie, loved her time with Nick and didn’t want to leave! It’s a great home with a gorgeous view and plenty of space for pets. Nick was very kind, easy to communicate with and sent cute pictures. I’m so glad to have this wonderful option for our visits to Orcas that sometimes include non-dog friendly events.”
“Tiana is great!! She is one of the best Rover caregivers I’ve ever worked with. We are in Sidney for just a couple of months, and I’m so glad I found her. She is very quick to respond and very easy to work with. She has a great fenced yard and friendly pups. Ben played all weekend. Tiana also sends lots of pics. We were never left wondering how Ben was doing because pics showed up multiple times a day. We look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“Rachel and her family were great with Arya. They did walks, played fetch, had time with another furry friend, and sent me pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and will be connecting with her in the future for my fur baby's care. Thank you so much to you and your family!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Nick and Rebecca were great! They were responsive to texts and sent me a couple of pupdates while they were watching Peach. They seem to be very accustomed to caring for dogs and made sure they had enough information to make sure my dog was safe and comfortable staying with them.”
“Jonathan has become a real staple sitter for us! My dog Luna has an absolute blast and the level of care is great. She gets lots of walks, cuddles and play time with their lovely dog Indy. Jonathan is very communicative and I always look forward to the photo updates. Would definitely recommend as a sitter.”
“Kelsey and her family were great with our young blue heeler, Angus. He can be an anxious guy and selective with certain people, but Kelsey put off the right energy and he quickly warmed up to her. Super grateful to have a place for him to stay where we won’t have to worry about our young son.”
“Criofan was great, we were travelling from Edmonton and decided to do a last minute Whale Watching Tour. Within 5 minutes Criofan responded and we had Luna booked in to play for the day. We really appreciated the late night pick up at 10pm, was flexible for us to enjoy our time in Victoria without feeling rushed. The drive was only 20 mins, but was definitely worth the drive, huge space for Luna to run with Albert. Really appreciated the messages after dropping Luna off, put my mind at ease that she was behaving. Highly recommend, we got back a happy tired pooch!”
“Ben had a great time at daycare! There was playing with other dogs, hiking, and nap time when everyone was tired. Tiana is the best at sending pics! Thanks so much for taking such good care of our boy!”
“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!”
“Andrea took such good care of my girl Piper. Piper can be quite anxious (and as a result I get anxious to leave her with anyone!) and Andrea was so understanding and patient with her. She sent me several updates about how Piper was doing throughout the day which I really appreciate. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ali is so gentle and has great energy. My little girl can take longer than usual to adjust to new settings and Ali gives her the space she needs. I am so happy I found her! Thank you!”
“If I had a 100 stars I would have given those to Bianca. Champ had a great time and Bianca was gracious enough to take his request last minute due to a medical emergency. Thanks so much for everything”
“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!”
“really happy with the care my pups recieved. both are young and full of energy but came home tired amd happy. my youngest has seperation anxiety and always howls and cries when i return but she was pretty calm this time. i recieved pictures and grace even paid enough attention to notice harlow was a bit dehydrated and let me know. they were also able to book me in fairly last minute which i was greatful for. if i ever need a sitter in victoria again i will be contacting these folks first. :)”
“Garfunkel had a blast meeting Jennifer and spending her days playing with her and the other pups outside! Garfunkel is typically quite anxious, but Jennifer quickly put her at ease.”
“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 have lifelong experience with pets, and somehow they always end up choosing me as their “favorite” person in the house. I genuinely understand their personalities and form deep connections with them. I can safely administer medication, give endless belly rubs to dogs, and I know all the classic favorite spots that make cats purr. I currently work full time from home and have a flexible schedule and a Friday off every two weeks and weekends are usually available as well. I live in a pet friendly condo with a fenced dog run area and easy access to Portage Park (pet friendly park). We own two very friendly pets, a dog and cat. Our dog has diabetes so we already do many potty breaks with him a day and administer insulin shots twice a day plus a mix of home made and prescribed food as well.
“Annie was super responsive when we were searching for a dog sitter for the day and made herself available at the very last minute. Our dog seemed to have a great time and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up in the evening.”

About: Over the years I have dog sat, walked dogs for people with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes. I have always taken pride in my care for my dogs and of course others as well. I currently don’t have a dog of my own as I am new to Bellingham, but I have a lot of experience with senior dogs as my first dog a 100lb malamute lived to be 16. I love big dogs, high energy dogs, small dogs. I am confident in my ability to handle all breeds energy and size! I work 4/ 10’s Monday through Thursday. Looking to fill my 3 day weekends with dog care! I will be available for dog sitting and dog walking every week Friday through Sunday. I like to get outside and walk and be active with my free time I live in a pet friendly condo with a large grassed dog friendly area and walking path behind the property. We have a fenced in balcony porch that the dog would have access to. Dogs would be allowed on furniture and bed. Care in clients home as well as mine will be followed as instructed to the T of owners request! Following precise owner instructions is vital when caring for others dogs.
“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!”
About: With over 15 years of dedicated pet sitting experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to caring for animals. My journey began in childhood as a 4-H member, where I developed a deep understanding of animal care. This early foundation has grown into a lifetime of experience with cats and dogs, both as a pet owner and a professional caregiver. What truly sets me apart is my ability to cater to animals of all ages and health conditions. Whether you have a playful puppy or a senior pet with special needs, I provide tailored care that ensures their well-being and happiness. My extensive experience includes administering medication, managing specific dietary requirements, and offering gentle care to elderly pets. I believe that every pet deserves individualized attention and a caring touch, and I am committed to delivering just that. My approach combines both my hands-on experience and my lifelong passion for animals to create a safe, nurturing environment for your furry family members. I currently work 9-5 in downtown Friday Harbor with an hour break Monday to Friday but can be with your furry friend any hours before, after, and/or in-between to make sure they have a friendly face to care for them. Weither it's at my home or yours, your pet gets the family treatment. My home has plenty of comfy places inside and on our fenced porch to soak up the San Juan Island air. My dog has a specific dietary need (in that she is a picky eater) so I follow any specific routines or dietary needs as outlined by their owners, ensuring consistency in their care. We love a routine! Daily walks are always a part of our household (even if it's just to and from the mailbox for those senior pets). I'm also very tech savy so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their routine and reducing stress. No pet likes to see the suitcase come out! I follow your instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and ensure their environment remains as routine as possible. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I strive to make their experience as comfortable and seamless as possible. I know what it's like to take a trip away from my pet!
“Megan is a wonderful, calm and thoughtful dog sitter. She ensured our excitable and energetic doggie had lots of attention, exercise and play. She lives in a dog paradise full of sniffs, trails and swimming!”
“My dog Oly is a sketchy dog but she was happy under Chelsea's care. She had some playmate, it felt like I was dropping my child off at the daycare. Ready to play! Chelsea clipped Oly's nail for me too. Thanks for the extra attention.”
“James was wonderful. My little Koko had a great time with the other dogs. She was well taken care of and loved. I would definitely recommend James. Koko will definitely be back.”
“Chris, Amy and their kids took great care of Hugo. They sent pictures and text updates and Hugo looked very happy- he enjoyed all the attention. We will be booking them again.”
