Pet Boarding in Vashon

“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”

About: My 3.5 y/o corgi, Kiko, would tell you I love all dogs, almost too much. For the last 13+ years, I’ve been fortunate enough to be responsible for at least 1, and most of the time 2 dogs of my own. While I have no formal training or certifications , I’m great with puppies still learning a routine, senior dogs who need a strict routine and everyone in between. I’m a very calm human so even nervous dogs are comfortable with me. I currently work from home, so I’m really good for dogs who require a little extra attention or struggle being left alone for long periods. I have a spacious two bedroom apartment with one flight of stairs and a nice balcony/patio for bird watching and sun bathing. When Kiko is here, we go on at least 3 walks a day, weather permitting, and make regular trips to various dog parks to see his friends throughout the week. When he’s not, we’ll still walk a lot but maybe fewer dog park visits unless that’s your dog’s thing too. If the cheapest sitter you can find is what you’re looking for, I’m not your person. However, under my watch, your dog will be safe, extremely well cared for, and loved like they are my own. Your dog will get the same care if I’m at your place and I share custody of Kiko, so his presence is not always guaranteed.

“Mike was a true gift during a very emotional and busy time. With family in town for my father’s funeral, I needed a peaceful place for my dog Bo to stay for a few days. Mike and Shari welcomed him into their beautiful, woodsy home—with picture windows that Bo immediately wanted to look out, and a calm, comforting vibe. When I picked him up at the end of his stay Bo was a relaxed and happy dog! Thanks guys!”

“Maria & Kalyan (& Nikko) took such great care of Pongo! This was my first time boarding my dog so I was a bit nervous leaving my dog’s care in someone else’s hands for the first time. Now I’ve found the perfect place to take my pup when I need him to be taken care of while I’m away! They sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos each day to ease my worries. It was very comforting and I loved seeing how Pongo was doing. They asked all the right questions beforehand and made sure Pongo’s needs were met. Nikko and Pongo were such a good match for high energy and loved playing together. Maria and Kalyan went above and beyond my expectations taking Pongo on adventures and long walks and making new puppy friends! I can tell Pongo was treated very well and his mind was even exercised. He was a happy boy when I picked him up and he went straight to sleep when I took him home. Definitely recommend and will be back in the future!!”

“Samantha is a wonderful and sweet person who took great care of Milo! She was super understanding about Milo’s reactivity towards other dogs/people and sent lots of pics every day ☺️ She’s a great communicator and I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Rachel H.

“Rachael took such good care of my dog, Pippin. She was very patient and attentive which is much needed for this older dog. Great communication and very reliable too!”

“Danielle, Brian, and Shiro were absolutely incredible to our pups while we were away! We were nervous to leave our pups with a new Rover as we recently moved, and one of our pups is a rescue. They were amazing and our pups had a great time-Danielle sent us lots of pictures which we loved. Definitely recommend Danielle and will definitely book again!”

Kristen O.

“I will definitely book again with this wonderful family and my daughter plans to use them too after our experience. Our dog, Honey, had the best time and I received lots of pictures and videos. 💜💜💜”

“Shari is one of a kind. I will make this very simple for you, so pay attention: 1. If you have a small dog 2. if you suffer from separation anxiety and want the best possible environment for your dog 3. if you love your dog and want to make sure they will be in a welcome home while you are away If you answered yes... do not look any further, Shari is the sitter for you. Shari is OVER THE TOP AMAZING! She took my mom's dog, my sister's dog and my dog while we were on family vacation... yes all 3 dogs! She set up a christmas party for them at k9 Playzone... she even baked them christmas treats and gave them new toys! She has a large back yard, a house full of toys and beds for the dogs. Honestly, this was beyond all my expectations and I would trust my dog Jax with Shari anytime. On top of having three dogs, she has to deal with my sister's dog...he is very temperamental and does not enjoy strangers all that much... well he fell in LOVE with Shari and her husband!! That says a lot considering he doesn't even like me! I really do hope you consider Shari, she is by far the most exceptional doggie sitter on here. She caters to your dog and will make them feel at home... and make sure that you know your pups are having the time of their lives! Thank you Shari!”

“This was my first booking with Rover and Charis and it was fantastic. Charis communicated in a timely manner, great with our dog, and the drop off and pick up process was amazing. We will rebook with Charis in the future as she was just the best!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! Growing up, I had dogs both big and small, as well as cats. Now I have a dog (June) and a cat (George) of my own. They are the loves of my life! I have experience with puppies and seniors, as well as administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own! I am currently in school, and it is self-paced, so my schedule is quite flexible! I can provide pet care basically any time, and adjust my school schedule accordingly. If I am caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will be sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, it is important that they are comfortable with cats and other dogs. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play!

“Our dogs came home happy from their overnight with Dennis & Lynn. We appreciated Dennis & Lynn keeping us updated and sending pictures of them while they stayed with them. Thank you !”

“Absolutely amazing!!!! My cat Kangaroo had the best time ever. She was so loved and cared for and knew she was in the best hands ever. Honestly she didn’t even want to come home after, it was like the best vacation for her. I could not be more happy with the most detailed and loving care from Kinzzie and will definitely be using her again! Your cat will be so happy and loved and spoiled and could not recommend more. I also loved all the attention to detail and updates. Made me miss Kangaroo a bit less. She had such a blast and fell in love with Moco, haha it was so funny to see.”

“Benji had a great time with Lance and boarding dog friends! I also got plenty of pics, video and updates while traveling so it really put me at ease. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a true dog lover to take care of your pup!”

“Lindsay (and her wonderful family) is our go to sitter for our mini schnauzer since she was a tiny pup. The whole family including their kiddos and dogs takes great care of our dog. Our Luna gets a lot of play time in their awesome backyard and their location near the airport makes things so convenient for us when we go out of town.”

“I really enjoyed working with Richard on boarding Reesey, my 12 year old pup (with back issues). I felt super relaxed leaving Reesey with them and knowing that they are taking really good care of him! I got picture updates daily, up to multiple times a day. I'd highly recommend Richard! And I will consider them for for all my future trips if I can't take Reesey with me.”

Gita R.

“Her calm and friendly demeanor really allowed my family and I to be able to relax during our trip. Kaylie kept our dogs stimulated and hydrated during the heat in August. I will 100% return to Kaylie with my pups and recommend her to everyone I know. She's great and makes you feel like we've known each other for a long time.”

Leslie D.

“Anaiya LOVES Josh and Mario, so much that she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. She was excited to see me and then went back to Mario and rolled over to show her belly 😆 They made sure she had plenty of exercise and time hanging out in the backyard. Will definitely use them again for my next trip!”

Dawnielle R.

“McKenna continues to be an amazing dog sitter! Our Penny just loves visiting her and her dogs, and we always feel confident that she will be well cared for. We’re so thankful to have McKenna close by!”

Keith A.

“Quang and his wife took great care of our dog. They sent plenty of daily pics and videos to give us a peace of mind that he was doing well. Quang was very accommodating with drop off and pickup times. Will definitely book him again whenever we are out of town.”
