“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”
“My French bull dog has such a good time with Shawn's Beagle. He gets lots of exercise and love. Shawn also keeps me updated with pictures and messages so I can see how my dog is doing.”
“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was very easy to work with and went above and beyond with our doggy. She treated her as her own, and kept us updated with photos and text messages.”
“Nikhil was amazing with my puppy. He is very considerate and always willing to accommodate special requests. I love that Nikhil sends constant updates about my dog. Gives me peace of my mind while travelling. In short, he’s great.”
“Carl is simply amazing! He sent lots of pictures and was very flexible as I had to reschedule a couple times. He took our puppup for lots of walk as well. I’d definitely leave our Kobe with him again.”
“Jennifer and her family did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Charlie! He had such a fun time and came home happily tired. She also sent us lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. It was clear Charlie was comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Ayesha is the best. We were worried to leave him because it was his first time alone and he's a bit reactive. But everything was perfect! Jack enjoyed the time there, and definitely will come back to have more time to play ✨️ Thaaaanks 🫶🏼”
“I want to start by saying that I am not a typical review'er but I am completely blown away with the care that was given to Goose. The amount of physical activity that was provided to Goose and the other dogs that were there was completly mind blowing. I have NEVER left my dog with anyone other then Doggie Day care building up for our trip to be away. Goose came back from her time away COMPLETLY stable and not even a single ounce of stress and she was there for 5 days. We have found our care giver for life!”
“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”
“Sheena took great care of our energetic pyrador while we went away for a week. Our Nala had a vacation of her own. Lots of exercise and she made a ton of new friends!!!! Thank you Sheena :)”
“Julie was great with the dog and so accommodating when we had to adjust our drop off time. She shared photos of our dog while we were away, which was nice. Absolutely recommend Julie’s services.”
“Chelsea was very helpful on short notice. She was able to accommodate a schedule change and took excellent care of our dog, Scout. We highly recommend booking with Chelsea.”
About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.
“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”
“Leslie’s place was perfect for Teddy! He got lots of playtime with other dogs had lots of space to roam around and even got some premium food! He came home tired, loved, well fed, and learned some of new walking manners:). We will definitely be using Leslie Again!”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”
“We recently had the pleasure of using Denise B. to sit our dog Zack while we were on vacation and were absolutely delighted with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final day, Denise showed a level of professionalism and compassion that went above and beyond our expectations. One of the most impressive aspects was the daily updates. These included photos and brief notes on how our dog was doing, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear from these updates that Denise was not only taking great care of our dog Zack's physical needs but was also providing them with love and attention. Furthermore, we appreciated Denise's flexibility. Zack developed an ear infection just before we went away and Denise was able to take Zack ot a local vet and have it checked out. It’s rare to find someone who is not only great with animals but also understands the needs of the pet owners. Our dog returned home happy and healthy, which is the biggest testament to the quality of care provided. We highly recommend Denise B. to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be using Denise's services again in the future!”

“Amber is the best cat-sitter! It was such a relief to know I was leaving the cat with a caring person. Amber is extremely knowledgeable about animals and shared several great tips with me about how to address my cat's eating issues. I am really grateful to her, and will try to book her again next time I go away.”

I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017.

I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids.

About: I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’m reliable, responsible, and love sending picture updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already set aside time each day for walks, play, and feeding, and I enjoy being outdoors and active. I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into both my daily and weekly routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets just as they would, keeping to established schedules, maintaining a familiar environment, and giving them lots of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away
About: I am a mom of two (part-time) I share custody with their dad, when I have free time I like to keep busy! I’ve owned a dog since I was little ranging from small to big. I have had plenty of interactions with others pets too such as cats, birds, and fish. I love animals! I’m not certified in training but have taken beginner level dog train courses. I practice positive reinforcement, I’ve had experience with potty training and crate training. I love walking, playing fetch, hide and seek or any other games your animals love to enjoy to get energy out. I also enjoy just cuddling :) Pet care is a natural part of my lifestyle. I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and building routines, so caring for animals fits seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening check-ins, I prioritize giving pets consistent attention and affection. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routine closely to make sure the transition feels smooth and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of play and snuggle time. I also keep the space clean, tidy, and safe. If I’m housesitting, I respect the home as if it were my own and make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and never alone for long stretches.
“Ryn is doing a good job getting to know and take care of our shy COVID cats, who still don't do well with strangers after never having met anyone during COVID. They are slowly warming up to her, which is very comforting to us while we are away.”
“From the moment I met Gillian, I knew that my senior kitty would be in good hands when I was away for a few days. She was so gentle, kind, and attentive towards him, and was more than happy to send me updates and pictures so I didn’t get anxious while away for so long. If I weren’t moving out of town in a few weeks, I would without a doubt book her again!”
About: Hello! I am a passionate and patient animal lover dedicated to giving your pets the exact same level of care and attention I give my own. Because I work from home, I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to be present for your pets throughout the day. Whether your furry friend needs mid-day cuddles, frequent potty breaks, or just someone to keep them company while you are away, I am around to make sure they never feel lonely. I am highly observant and understand that every animal has its own unique personality and boundaries. I have extensive experience caring for animals with varying temperaments-from raising a high-energy kitten and older cat ,to earning the trust of timid, outdoor rescues. I believe in taking things at the animal's pace and providing a calm, safe environment. I would love to meet you and your pets to see if we are a great fit!
“Brea is amazing! She initially came by for a meet and greet and we knew immediately she was the one to care for our kitties. Each visit she shared photos and her affection for our cats with us. We truly felt they were receiving the very best care while we were away. We will most definitely call on Brea again. “Thanks Brea””
“Booked Krystal again because she is very attentive, great communication, and friendly! She makes sure to care for my home and cat and provides detailed updates which I really appreciate 🙂”
About: Years ago my Mother gave me a card. It said, “The more I know men the more I love my dog.” My family has always had dogs and cats too. Once having a discussion with my guy he said, “even the dog ranks higher than me!” A dog is more than a pet. They are a companion who loves unconditionally. Who is ready to play or not. Will always listen and never rejects a belly rub. I genuinely prefer canines over people. Recently read the book “Dog Sense.” There is so much more about these wonderful creatures that it should be required reading before anyone takes on the responsibility of owning a companion. I will give your family member the respect and genuine kindness it deserves. Thank you for your consideration.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with professional experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals of all kinds. I’ve lived on an alpaca ranch and worked at an animal sanctuary where I helped care for alpacas, chickens, goats, and 8 dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From feeding and medication to cleaning and enrichment, I’ve done it all! I’ve been pet-sitting through Rover for over 4 years and have cared for everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I’m comfortable with crate training, basic commands, giving medication, and customizing care to your pet’s routine. I also have experience with multi-pet households and reactive or shy dogs. At home, I have a small yorkie-schnauzer mix who’s my trusty sidekick and playmate. Whether your dog loves fetch, long walks, the dog park, or just quiet cuddle time, I’ll make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving your pets the same level of care I’d want for my own. Let’s chat about how I can help your pets feel happy and at home—even when you’re not! My schedule is open right now. I just work evenings and I am finishing my degree online. I am available during the day for walks, loves, adventures and more and I’m available for overnight stays. I can visit your home for drop in visits or walks and I can stay overnight with your pets for overnight bookings. My schedule is open currently.
About: I’ve owned dogs and other pets my whole life, but since opening my own business and having my son I just don’t have time to own a pet full time. So I figured this would be a good way to get to love on other peoples pups when it works for my schedule. I am self employed so my schedule can be semi flexible. I don’t work on the weekends, but I could also potentially bring a dog to my business as well on days that I work, depending on the dog of course. I have a fenced yard, a big field/park right across the street, a dog park a mile away, and a doggy door that could fit a dog up to about 50 lbs. I also own a small salon with accident safe flooring and a space right outside the door for potty breaks if I ever needed to bring a dog to work with me.
About: When I was 7 years-old, my family added a new member, a golden retriever, Finnagin. Dogs have been in my family ever since. I do my best to stay present and connect with each animal I meet. I also have 12 years of house sitting experience, with a goal of leaving each home in the same shape & cleaner than it was upon my arrival. Past experiences have taught me how to help animals adjust to their owners being gone. Diligently maintaining normal routines and providing consistent interaction are my main methods. My 9 year-old beagle, Willow & I are new to the area and have fallen in love with hiking on Washington trails. I'd love to get your dog some exercise while housesitting. This can happen with or without Willow, she's great around other animals. I also have extensive experience caring for cats, chickens, birds, turtles, iguana's, and more. If provided specific care instructions, I'll gladly make sure all of their needs are met during your trip. Most of my full-time work can be done via computer, so I'm able to be with your pets for most of the hours you are gone. I will provide photos/video updates so that you can rest easy knowing everything is being taken care of at home and your pet is safe. I look forward to offering other services, once a relationship has been developed with a family. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to connecting with you and your family soon. Peace, Patrick Most of my work can be done remotely. If you have an animal that cannot be left alone, I can most likely accommodate your needs...especially if we have some advance time for me to work my work obligations around your dog. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly beagle who loves to meet new friends, but also spends plenty of time alone and sleeping. Every other week your pup will get love & respect from our 9 year-old, animal loving Son. He has lived with and been around dogs, cats, and various farm animals since he's been alive. If you have concerns about your dog's potential behavior around a young human, please reach out directly and we can work to coordinate a scenario that works for all of us. If you are hiring me to house and pet sit in your home and would like my dog Willow to remain at my home, just say the word!

“I can’t recommend this sitter enough! Shawn sends updates throughout the day and truly treated my dog like she was one of his own. My dog struggles with separation anxiety and she was actually bursting out of the car to go to this house. Shawn is super easy to communicate with and pickup/drop off were seamless. Simply a delight.”
“Alexandra is a great! Highly recommend. Great communication and pictures my dog can be high maintenance as a loud husky and she handles him with ease and her husky as well is very sweet and well behaved.”

I do have a balcony space which can be utilised if the dog needs a fresh air and scenic loving being.
“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company. Baxter is fairly energetic since he's just 1 yr old so Heather ensured that he had some outdoor play time as well. I would definitely recommend Heather and will likely book her again.”
“Peggy was absolutely amazing to deal with and super flexible. She was great at communicating and both days we picked up a happy and tired pup. Her dog Bandit was super sweet with our dog too. 100% would recommend.”
“Amanda immediately made us feel comfortable, leaving Emily with her. I really appreciated the updates and pics during her visit. Emily was happy, content and relaxed when we picked her up. I would definitely recommend Amanda for top notch care for anybody in the future. Miss Emily says thank you very much and it was really nice meeting you, Brodie and Frankie. 🐾🐾💕”
“Zalie is awesome with my puppy!!! I love leaving her with Zalie because I know she’ll be loved, well cared for and tired out from all the walks and fresh air. Zalie is also great to work with: she’s easygoing and flexible. My experience with her has been top notch!”

About: My daughter and I are looking to help make your pets day better. We are highly active and excited to help out in any way. We would love at home visits, short or long walks. Even trail runs are on the table! I was raised on a hobby farm and comfortable with all dogs of any size. My daughter is ambitious and would like to get into dog sitting as she gets older. She is currently saving up to get her own goats. I will always be present and my daughter will only be there to help I recently sold a business and am now taking a few years to focus on my kids and helping out. My schedule is fairly flexible. Ideally my daughter will join me as much as possible. She loves animals and pampers them as much as possible. There is nothing she wouldn’t do for your dog. We have a fenced yard where our dog runs around. He spends most of his time indoors though. We live on a half acre so lots of room to run around and play.
“This was the first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover. I could not be happier with our first experience. As soon as we pulled up and met them outside, our dog went right to Danielle and her partner, as if she had known them all her life. She was excited to go with them into the house and didn’t even care that I had left. During the day I received pictures and updates, which showed that they provided an amazing day for our dog. It is clear that this home is a great place to provide trustworthy care for a pet.”
“My two doggos stayed with Bobby during the day while I had appointments in town and they came home with me tired and happy. They made friends with Bobby and her pups and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them in with her again. Thank you!”
“Saisoi is awesome! My boys quickly warmed up to her and I appreciate that she sent me photo updates throughout the day. It's clear she is an animal lover and that my dogs were comfortable staying with her. We will be re-booking Saisoi soon!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. In my adulthood, I’ve had the pleasure of being a fur mom to a cat and two Australian Shepard’s. I’m experienced in overnight stays, walking schedules, and drops ins. I’m currently just freelancing so I’ll have plenty of time to commit to your pets. I can range anywhere from staying with your pets full time while you’re on vacation, to walking them on a schedule, or just checking in for potty breaks. I can be as flexible as you need me to be! I personally have experience with crating when needed, giving medications, and basic treat training.

About: If you’re looking for a sitter who is genuinely comfortable with all animals, look no more!

Your pup will receive plenty of love and attention, playtime, and structured care tailored to their specific routine! Why choose me?

About: I've house and pet sit for family friends and we always have a good time. I have a special connection with dogs and love to spend time with them whenever I can. My seasonal job is ending, so I will have plenty of time for taking care of pets! I hope to do this at least part time to keep some money coming in. I love to play with dogs (and cats)! Going on walks, playing fetch, I love a dog's energy! Tell me which toy is their favorite, we will have a blast!

I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into both my daily and weekly routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets just as they would, keeping to established schedules, maintaining a familiar environment, and giving them lots of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away

About: I have 4 years of professional boarding facility experience and am fully trained in administering oral medications, pill pockets, and topical treatments (no injections, please!). I'm an expert at reading animal body language and feel entirely comfortable managing all temperaments, including reactive, anxious, or aggressive pets. I am free anytime for drop in visits or walking your pets! I am a college student so I am only available on the holiday breaks! As a proud dog parent to two pups of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve endless love, patience, and undivided attention. My home is a space built on safety and routine, and I bring that exact same dedicated, protective care to your doorstep. Whether your pet needs a high-energy playmate, a calming presence to soothe their anxiety, or precise medication management, my priority is keeping them safe, secure, and completely comfortable until you return. You can relax knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same deep affection, respect, and vigilant care that I give my own every single day.
About: Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well. So please, go on your next vacation with your mind at ease, knowing your pets are well cared for and are on a vacation of their very own at our beautiful farm in northern Bellingham, complete with acerage, rolling fields and plenty of room to run and play. Wishing you a beautiful day!
About: Hello there, I’m Audrey. I’m a lifelong animal lover who is dedicated to being a compassionate and informed pet companion. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, starting with my family’s siamese cat and border collie rescue. Since then, I’ve been a primary caregiver for two rescue mutts and a companion to the many pets of my friends and family. I’m passionate about learning to understand animal emotions and behavior in order to more effectively care for pets. My goal is to build a relationship that is based on compassion, understanding, and trust. My schedule is highly flexible. I work remotely as a freelance writer, which allows me to easily adapt to pets’ routines. I keep my Rover schedule current, so it accurately reflects my availability. It warms my heart that I get to help the animals I work with stay home where they feel comfortable and stick to the routines they are used to.
About: I've been doing various dog/cat sitting since I was 14! I love animals and am super active, would love to take your animals on any kind of walk they want!! I'm currently on summer break from College, so I have a lot of time on my hands! Was hoping to jump into this app to try and get some extra cash, and whats a better way then hanging out with animals all day?! Back in my hometown (Gold Bar, WA) I have two dogs that I adore, and I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! From hamsters to lizards, fish to dogs!!
About: I’ve been enamored with animals my entire life. They add an element of joy and peace that nothing else has come close to. As a child I dedicated all of my time and allowance to my eclectic hobby farm complete with goats, chickens, ducks, numerous dogs and cats, rabbits, fish, birds and eventually horses. The amount of purpose animals have given me is indescribable and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. I am excited to be able to provide the level of care and attention I would want my own pets to receive when unable to be with them, and I am confident you will be happy with my service. I am a substitute at my children’s school, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your precious pets, too! I currently have two senior kitties that require a little extra TLC, a rescue dog, and I ride horses multiple times a week, so I’m no stranger to the world of animal care. I would love the opportunity to share my experience and passion with you and your animals! I understand the level of commitment and work pets require, and I promise to treat your animals as if they were my very own. Can’t wait to meet you! I have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule to walk your dogs and snuggle your kitties! I currently have a very part-time job, but I enjoy being busy, active and outside! I love to walk outdoors, rain or shine, and enjoy nothing more than a long stroll with a cute pup. I’m obsessive when it comes to my own animal’s health and well being. Keeping your pet safe, secure and happy is my number one priority. I take time frames, requests, and special needs very seriously, and you can trust me to do everything in my power to meet your dog or cat’s needs, whatever they may be.

“My French bull dog has such a good time with Shawn's Beagle. He gets lots of exercise and love. Shawn also keeps me updated with pictures and messages so I can see how my dog is doing.”
“My honey and I have been using Ms. Dollys services to watch our two naughty 75 pound plus babies for a few months now. I think we have boarded our dogs a total 4 times with her. She’s always super accommodating and willing for emergency stay overs if your 4 hour drive from Oregon turns into 8 hours (life saver). Ms. Dolly handles my helicopter dog mom ways and assures me “ I got this” ( she really does) Our babies LOVE Ms. Dolly and even know her by name. They get some serious zooms when we leash up by the door and mention dolly town. Upon first arriving a few months ago I was so happy to see she has a full on kennel set up, rubber washable mats, large and heated areas to run and play on icky days. Toys, leashes you name it. We even forgot our food one time, no worries dolly had a back up that matched the very specific sweet potato and salmon diet we had going. It’s like having a family member watch your dogs but the family member is also super professional and also operates a full puppy bizniz. Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a secondary form, shots, vet, food routine, emergency contact ect. Ms. dolly is seriously a pro. Drop off is always super emotional for us but Ms. Dolly always sends pics and videos. It seems like she hangs out with our dogs all day by how much play time they actually get. They even did a bonfire and hung out with our pups the way we would do in our backyard. Your dogs are family and it shows. Ms. Dolly has a full backyard where your dogs can run and play and party all night if they wanted. This is a serious plus for our very energetic pitbull and spaz German Sheppard. I would never choose another boarder. Thank you Ms. Dolly, we love you! - Brandon, Katy, Ghost and Ranger.”
“Nikhil was amazing with my puppy. He is very considerate and always willing to accommodate special requests. I love that Nikhil sends constant updates about my dog. Gives me peace of my mind while travelling. In short, he’s great.”
“Carl is simply amazing! He sent lots of pictures and was very flexible as I had to reschedule a couple times. He took our puppup for lots of walk as well. I’d definitely leave our Kobe with him again.”
“Ayesha is the best. We were worried to leave him because it was his first time alone and he's a bit reactive. But everything was perfect! Jack enjoyed the time there, and definitely will come back to have more time to play ✨️ Thaaaanks 🫶🏼”
“I want to start by saying that I am not a typical review'er but I am completely blown away with the care that was given to Goose. The amount of physical activity that was provided to Goose and the other dogs that were there was completly mind blowing. I have NEVER left my dog with anyone other then Doggie Day care building up for our trip to be away. Goose came back from her time away COMPLETLY stable and not even a single ounce of stress and she was there for 5 days. We have found our care giver for life!”
“Sheena took great care of our energetic pyrador while we went away for a week. Our Nala had a vacation of her own. Lots of exercise and she made a ton of new friends!!!! Thank you Sheena :)”
“Julie was great with the dog and so accommodating when we had to adjust our drop off time. She shared photos of our dog while we were away, which was nice. Absolutely recommend Julie’s services.”
“Chelsea was very helpful on short notice. She was able to accommodate a schedule change and took excellent care of our dog, Scout. We highly recommend booking with Chelsea.”
“Lenore was absolutely fantastic—better than I could’ve hoped for, especially since it was a last-minute booking for 3 nights! She went above and beyond with our dog: videos, photos, long walks, feeding him special food since he wasn’t feeling his best, and just taking really good care of him. What stood out to me was how much time she genuinely spent with our dog. You can tell when someone’s just going through the motions, but not Lenore. She was present, communicative, and you could feel that she really cared. Her own dog—a 2-year-old lab-shepherd mix—played so well with ours. They got along like old pals, which was a huge relief during their time together. I’d trust Lenore again in a heartbeat.”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”
“We recently had the pleasure of using Denise B. to sit our dog Zack while we were on vacation and were absolutely delighted with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final day, Denise showed a level of professionalism and compassion that went above and beyond our expectations. One of the most impressive aspects was the daily updates. These included photos and brief notes on how our dog was doing, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear from these updates that Denise was not only taking great care of our dog Zack's physical needs but was also providing them with love and attention. Furthermore, we appreciated Denise's flexibility. Zack developed an ear infection just before we went away and Denise was able to take Zack ot a local vet and have it checked out. It’s rare to find someone who is not only great with animals but also understands the needs of the pet owners. Our dog returned home happy and healthy, which is the biggest testament to the quality of care provided. We highly recommend Denise B. to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We will definitely be using Denise's services again in the future!”
“Leslie is Max’s most favorite pet sitter, and because of that mine. My dog is shy of humans and often other dogs. Max settled into Leslie’s home and bonded with both Leslie and her two dogs. It was a comfort to me knowing Max was happy while I was away.”
About: Hi I'm Katie! Also known as that British lady! I have owned dogs my entire life, usually always two at a time. I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017. I've had experience with various breeds and fostered ex racer greyhounds for a while in the U.K. I also have two indoor/outdoor cats I rescued as kittens from local feral cat litters. I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids. Dogs are allowed on my sofa and bed but only if you allow that at home… I don’t want to create bad habits!
About: I am a dog lover, and have run, trained, and explored with dogs almost every day of my life! I have three dogs of my own, and have always had busy working dogs with me. I spend the majority of my personal time training dogs, and I have experience with reactive dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs with very, very high energy requirements, as well as your classic couch potatoes. My goal is to meet every dog where they are at and give them their very best day, whether that means taking them out on a big adventure, snuggling them, or letting them run wild on my 5 acres. I work full time as a teacher, and during the week can fit in dog walks or drop in visits in the mornings and evenings before or after work. My weekends are open to take dogs on adventures! When I am out on summer break June through August, I have full availability to wear out dogs. Dogs are always very closely supervised in your yard or mine (line of sight). We will work together to develop a plan if your dog participates in adventure days dependent on your dog’s individual needs. Options include: leash, long line, GPS collar, etc.
“Trinity was flexible with scheduling a meet and greet and adapting to some changes on our end. Our pup was comfortable in the space right away and excited to be back. Hoping she has a chance to visit again.”
“Michelle and her family took great care of our Mini Aussie while we were traveling. We appreciated the great communication and how she figured out that Izzy just loves to be with people. We would absolutely love to have her care for Izzy again!”
