“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Leslie was wonderful with my 4 year old lab mix, Scarlett. My dog can be a little shy at first, but a couple of day care visits before my fishing trip seemed to help her become comfortable quickly. Scarlett seemed to have a great time. Playing and dogging with her new friends. She also formed quite the bond with Leslie! She was ecstatic to see her when we ran into each other at the dog parl! Leslie sent daily pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with Leslie's care for Scarlett.”
“Great experience! Dolly was quick to respond to our texts and sent pictures while we were away which was so nice. One of our dogs is special needs and Dolly took excellent care of her. Will definitely book with Dolly again!”
“Bailey had a great time with her new friends. She was kept active and comforted when she was fussy ( new place syndrome 😁) She has a new buddy in Ollie and I couldn't be happier for her care! We'll be back!”
“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.”
“Susan took wonderful care of our two pups. It was their first time being cared for outside our home, so we appreciated her daily pictures of their time with her. They came back home happy and healthy! Thanks, Susan!”
“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”
“Carl was an exceptional dog sitter! He was incredibly easy to communicate with, always responsive, and made sure all our time requests and care instructions for Cloud were perfectly accommodated. We loved the frequent photo updates, which kept us reassured and happy seeing Cloud having a great time. It’s clear Cloud enjoyed her stay with Carl, and we’ll definitely book with him again! Highly recommend!”
“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”
“Kendra was so awesome! She was able to be flexible when I had a last minute change to my travel plans and took excellent care of my dog. He got to go to yoga and a hike around the bay! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! The boys were well cared for, had a wonderful place to stay, and got to romp and enjoy themselves while they were there. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer again in the future.”
“Erin and her family are so wonderful our dogs. She takes extra special time and effort with dogs in her care. They get to go to the park everyday and Erin supplies so many great pictures and videos. She is the best sitter we have ever found!! This was my dogs 4th visit and all have been incredibly wonderful!!! Highest recommendation I can ever give goes to Erin!!!!”
“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!”
“Adrienne was fantastic with Moose! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, took him on plenty of walks and hikes, and it is was clear he was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Julie and her husband are fantastic people. My dog was so happy to be there, that she didn't want to leave lol. They are great with communication, and sending pics/videos. I definitely recommend her for all your dog needs!!!! I will continue to use her often.”

“Marisa did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away! She wrote detailed notes after each drop-in visit and was patient and kind with my anxious cats. I would definitely recommend Marisa to look after your pets!”
“Michael was amazing! He was great with our cats and was so easy to work with! He also went above and beyond with bringing in our packages as well and offered to grab our mail for us. Thanks Michael! We will definitely book with you again!”
“Braelyn was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she take care of my two cats in the way that I asked, but she went above and beyond to get to know each cat and what they like. Each visit, she catered to their likes and dislikes to make sure they were happy and got some meaningful enrichment and interaction. I highly recommend Braelyn and will be using her services for my future pet sitting needs!”
“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”
“Lizz looked after my cats over the holidays. She kept me updated on how they were doing, and was very patient with their idiosyncrasies. Would definitely book again!”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for about 5 years, I have become the go to pet sitter for my friends with dogs when I am available to watch them! I am very detail oriented and will follow every instruction left with the dog for the best care possible. I work Monday-Thursday 8:30-3/4pm depending on the day as a real estate stager. My fiancé works from home & is always home (and is also a dog lover!) I am off work Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can easily check on animals before and after work, and have three day weekends! If boarding, they’d have someone around all day. I am very respectful when coming to clients homes, I will always strive to leave things better than I found them. That being said, you can expect to come back to a clean house if you hire me as a your dog sitter! I always vow to keep the client updated if anything is amiss with their pet. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and no other pets, so if you are looking for hoarding, there’s plenty of room to roam!

“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””

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.

“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”

“Tami makes every dog in her care feel like a loved family member! She has a huge heart for all types of dogs and easily many different personalities playing happily and in harmony together. I'm so thrilled Fiona and I found her. ?♥️?”
“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.”
“Good service , good communication , I took my little boy to Shawn place , it was is first time to stay away from us and when we came back to pick him up he was happy . Thanks for the great service you gave to Flocky :) .”
“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.”
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”

“Karrin is great, super great communication on the app and in person. She sent pictures, although I didn’t get them because I didn’t have WiFi on the whale watching excursion most of the time, until later but she sent me a lot of them for the short amount of time they were with her. She took great care of them. They are looking forward to going back to see her and her puppy tomorrow and spending the night with them!!!”
“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and to this day, I'm the go-to pet sitter in my family. I have a small dog who’s 4 years old and is very friendly with other dogs, cats, kids, and more. I’ve had him since he was a puppy and personally potty trained him, so I have plenty of experience with puppies. While I haven’t personally cared for a senior dog yet I have lots of free time and am confident I can give any senior dog with the care he or she needs. I'm currently doing some online classes, and I'm unemployed because I'm new to the Bellingham area so I have a bunch of free time to spend with your dogs. I live in an apartment so | don't have a yard for your pup to play in but I'll take your dog on walks very often and I personally take my dog to the dog park very regularly and would love to take yours too if you'd like.

“Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!”

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with lots of experience staying active and attentive — which makes me great with high-energy dogs and pets who need consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine.

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love spending time with them. I now have more time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for dogs who need some TLC. I had a senior pug who sadly rent over the rainbow bridge last year. The last few years she was with me, I had to give her medication, take care of her eyes and give her a special diet. I also had a lab who developed cancer and needed medication and a special diet. I feel I would be a perfect person to care for special needs dogs. I am retired so I have time to care for your pet from my home with frequent walks and/or bathroom breaks around our 5 acre property. I live on 5 acres. I do not have a fenced yard but take multiple walks throughout the day so your dog would be safely walked on a leash.

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: Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who needed a little extra attention and specialized care. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications, preparing special diets, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so communication is always a priority. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently moved to Bellingham and currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks or drop-in visits, I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and providing consistent care for your pets. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for them. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet is safe and content before I leave. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and have peace of mind while you’re away.
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!

“Leslie was wonderful with my 4 year old lab mix, Scarlett. My dog can be a little shy at first, but a couple of day care visits before my fishing trip seemed to help her become comfortable quickly. Scarlett seemed to have a great time. Playing and dogging with her new friends. She also formed quite the bond with Leslie! She was ecstatic to see her when we ran into each other at the dog parl! Leslie sent daily pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with Leslie's care for Scarlett.”
“Great experience! Dolly was quick to respond to our texts and sent pictures while we were away which was so nice. One of our dogs is special needs and Dolly took excellent care of her. Will definitely book with Dolly again!”
“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.”
“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”
“Carl was an exceptional dog sitter! He was incredibly easy to communicate with, always responsive, and made sure all our time requests and care instructions for Cloud were perfectly accommodated. We loved the frequent photo updates, which kept us reassured and happy seeing Cloud having a great time. It’s clear Cloud enjoyed her stay with Carl, and we’ll definitely book with him again! Highly recommend!”
“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”
“Kendra was so awesome! She was able to be flexible when I had a last minute change to my travel plans and took excellent care of my dog. He got to go to yoga and a hike around the bay! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“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.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! The boys were well cared for, had a wonderful place to stay, and got to romp and enjoy themselves while they were there. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Jennifer again in the future.”
“Erin and her family are so wonderful our dogs. She takes extra special time and effort with dogs in her care. They get to go to the park everyday and Erin supplies so many great pictures and videos. She is the best sitter we have ever found!! This was my dogs 4th visit and all have been incredibly wonderful!!! Highest recommendation I can ever give goes to Erin!!!!”
“Adrienne was fantastic with Moose! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, took him on plenty of walks and hikes, and it is was clear he was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Julie and her husband are fantastic people. My dog was so happy to be there, that she didn't want to leave lol. They are great with communication, and sending pics/videos. I definitely recommend her for all your dog needs!!!! I will continue to use her often.”
“I just want to say a big thank you for looking after Leo these past three days! It means so much to know he was in such caring and capable hands. I really appreciate the time, attention, and love you gave him while I was away. I could tell that Leo felt safe and happy with you. Thanks again!!”
“Jessica is one of the kindest-hearted and thoughtful person you'd meet. In a world often focused on capitalism over humanity, she is a rare gem. I'll start by saying that I have never boarded my pets because they travel with me full-time, but when I have to do a very long backcountry hike in the Cascades over difficult terrain that doesn't allow pets, I was lucky to find Jess last-minute to host my kitty in case I get injured and can't return to him in a timely manner. Setting: Like-minded animal lovers always hold a special place in my heart. Here, you are not going to find an immaculate, more corporate type pet-sitting kennel setup. Instead, you will find a warm, loving home cared for full-time by Jess and her family. Jessica's home has many animals. In addition to dogs to cats, she also raises farm animals of various kinds. I have no idea how all the animals find ways to live largely harmoniously together, but when I first pulled up to her home, I was greeted by many of them :) Sitting service: traveling in and around the Cascades often requires flexibility. Dark, windy mountain roads, spotty cell reception, etc make pinning down exact travel plans a challenge. Ever accommodating, Jess understood this and was so kind and reassuring while I was away. If you book your pet with her, you may find that she doesn't just care for your pet; she takes the time to learn and understand your needs and offers help whenever she can. I was upfront about being unsure of how long my hike would take. Well, it ended up taking much longer than I anticipated. Not only did she work with me on the timing of pick-up, she was so kind to offer help/advice in other thoughtful ways. Booking: If you want to work with (and have your hard-earned dollars go toward supporting a local small business service), consider reaching out to Jessica, clearly communicate your needs/pet peeves. You won't be disappointed and will leave with a local friend.”
“Holly was amazing with our Dozer, a bernedoodle. We got many pictures while on our overnight trip. Dozer is a cuddler and she provided lots of cuddle time. I would highly recommend Holly. I especially appreciated her safely fenced back yard. Looking forward to Dozer spending time with Holly again.”
