Personalized care for your dog or cat - West Sound

“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.”

Skochii B.

Deirdre F.

“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!”

Nathalia H.

“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.”

Tanya K.

“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!!”

Barbara F.

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

Kim H.

“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.”

“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.”

Nick H.

“Kallie did a great job taking care of Bernice. She was reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We’d be happy to book with her again.”

Saisoi K.

“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

Bridget D.

“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!”

Jenna B.

“This is Lisa’s second time watching Zuri and I had piece of mind that she was being taken care of while we were away. Photo updates and great communication!”

Lya M.

“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!”

Lori W.

“Bianca’s energy is calm and welcoming, we felt good leaving Emmy (senior Pomeranian) in her care. We received cute photos over the weekend and picked up a happy, rested gal. We’d be happy to have Bianca sit for us again!”

Dakota B.

“Thank you Vicki for taking care of Maple. You were very much a home away from home. We believe Maple quickly adapted to the new environment and had lots of love and attention for the 13 days he stayed with you and your pups. Thank you.”

Marian G.

“Minerva was absolutely amazing with our dog, Pablo! From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, kind, and compassionate she is. She treated Pablo like he was her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. Knowing Pablo was in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Minerva went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she gave Pablo. Thank you so much, Minerva!”

Geeta K.

“Virginia is exceptionally kind and easy to work with. She communicated well with us and our dog seemed very happy at her place. We will us her again.”

Randy L.

“Cynthia did a great job watching Sparky. She took him the dog park nearby where Sparky and her dog played and had a great time. They also ran around and played a lot in her fenced backyard. She also sent a lot of videos of Sparky, which was nice.”

About: I have owned dogs, cats, chameleons, and rabbits throughout my life. I’ve always loved the companionship a pet provides and have enjoyed nurturing such loving animals. I am passionate about providing proper care to animals and have a calm and patient demeanor with them. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and I also enjoy hiking with dogs to keep more with their energy. I believe in the proper care and treatment of animals and will make sure that all of my effort goes into providing the best care possible. I’m very flexible and willing to pick up and drop of at the owners convenience to save them travel. I am educator so my availability is before and after school and weekends! I live a very active lifestyle which fits perfectly when adding a furry friend into my routine! In my clients home I care for the pets the same way a family member would, my job is to make your pet as comfortable as I can while you are gone.

About: I've been a trusted a reliable pet sitter for 15 years. With no kids, my schedule is flexible and I can give more time and attention to your cat or dog. I'm also very active and can take your pet for hikes/runs all day long! With a flexible work schedule and no kids, I can easily fit pet sitting into my day. I am around most weekends and care for each pet as thought they were my own. I have a fenced yard and a quiet home in a safe neighborhood. Living on Orcas, I am close to beautiful trails and parks that are dog friendly.

“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.”

Kali D.

“Beth was nothing but amazing from start to finish. We were on the island for my wife's work event and she suggested we get a sitter so my son and I could explore the island dog-free for the day. With less than 24 hours notice we found Beth, she responded immediately and confirmed quickly. She asked all of the right questions so you could tell she really cared. My 12 year old son was worried about leaving the dogs, but Beth sent us text updates and posted pics and videos to a Google folder throughout the day. She took them for multiple walks and a hike. They came home happy and tired...they definitely had their best time on the island with Beth. I can't say enough good things, she was fantastic.”

N B.

“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.”

Malkolm G.

“Gabriel took great care of Winston and gave me lots of updates. Winston got plenty of walks and love and he was clearly a very happy pup when I returned. Really appreciated Gabriel’s flexibility as I reached out the night before. Would definitely recommend.”

Sophy L.

“Wonderful home for my dogs, she treats them just like I do! It's important to feel like your dogs are safe and happy and that's what Roxanne provides them!! Great caretaker, thank you!!”

Lori B.

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

Lexie M.

“Very accomadating to my schedule! Highly recommend”

Hunter C.

“William was a joy to work with. He was very tolerant handling our ever changing scheduling beginning and ending his care of our doggie. We needed a sitter of our dog while we went out on a boat tour for several hours necessary because we were visiting from a community a few hours distant. All became very confusing when the scheduled sitter cancelled at the last moment. William calmed us and managed our concerns with grace. AND, our doggie was very pleased and happy.”

Tom D.

“My pups are always excited when I pull up at Nicole's, they run right up to the door, which shows me they're happy and comfortable in her home. She's has excellent communication and takes good care of my babies.”

Anne C.

“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!”

Alison B.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Ferdinand! It’s weird for me leaving him with someone we don’t know, but Virginia was kind and welcomed him right in. She sent a couple of cute photos which also made me feel better because he looked so happy! She was flexible with pick up since we weren’t sure about ferry times etc. which was super nice, and when we picked him up she sent him home with a bear that he got very attached to :D We’re already going to book her again for another long day away from home!”

Naomi W.

“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”

Nihit S.

“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.”

Maria E.

“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!”

About: I’ve cared for many pets since childhood, giving me decades of hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. I offer calm, reliable care making pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. And yes, dogs think I’m hilarious, while cats simply tolerate me — I respect the dynamic. I’m here for the zoomies and the drama! Calm, patient, and great with shy or anxious pets who need a soft, reassuring presence. I stick closely to feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and walk preferences so pets feel secure and comfortable. I always send warm, detailed updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel right at home, treated with the same patience, gentleness, and respect I give my own… plus a little extra, because I speak fluent “treat” and I’m an unlicensed but highly skilled cuddle dealer! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m not working at the moment, so your pet basically becomes my coworker — and honestly, they’re way better company. I’m able to give pets my full attention. I keep a flexible schedule for drop‑ins, daycare, and walks, and I’m available to follow each pet’s specific routine, from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and calm companionship. Pets get consistent care, plenty of interaction, and a reliable presence throughout the day. Drop-ins at your home: I keep things consistent by following their established schedule, giving pets calm companionship, enrichment, and plenty of attention. Walks are safe, paced, and full of sniff‑approved adventures. Daycare is a mix of play, rest, and gentle supervision. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, cozy environment, a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and whatever routine makes them feel most at ease — from free roaming to crating if that’s their comfort zone.

“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!”

Nick H.

“Ramesh & Lauren took wonderful care of Zeus, i loved getting updates through out the day and knowing she was having as much of a good time as us!”

Mallerlyn V.

“Sasha had a great day with Heather and Ivan. Not only did they make their home welcoming to her, they also made sure she got out for some exercise and fun! It’s much easier to walk away when you pooch walks straight into their home and starts checking things out and we were greeted warmly. I would for sure reach out To Heather again. Thanks for the positive experience and caring for Sasha.”

Carrie C.

“They are absolutely amazing and gentle. They cared for the needs of my dog and communicated very well with me. It was a last minute booking and they made it work. I highly recommend them!! Thank you again both of you <3”

Claudia B.

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

About: Hi pet owners! Pets make me so happy and I wish I could be with them all the time! I am not able to have a pet in Bellingham so I would love to take care of yours! I have cat and dog sat and dog walked more times than I can count and I love it! Thanks for considering, I am hoping to use my earnings to travel during the spring! I have a very light work/school schedule! I am gone at most 2-5 hours at a time. I would love to watch you pet at my house or at yours! I love to play with pets, give them lots of snuggles, take them to the park, and walk them, I like to hang out outside with them!
