“Took Gus to Rachel and her husband for the first time. I was so impressed with the care he received in their home. He had so much fun playing with Winter and running free in the big backyard. He was tired when I picked him up two days later. Rachel took lots of pictures and several videos during Gus' stay and sent them to me so I could see was having fun. I felt he was very well cared for in Rachel's home. I will definitely take Gus back to their home with no hesitation at all. They were wonderful with Gus!”
“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!!”
“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”
“We are so grateful to have found Kelsey. Her knowledge and expertise gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were on vacation. Timber was cared for like a family member.”
“So happy I found Debra to care for my dog who is a bit timid and has a lot of quirks. Debra has a calm demeanor and shows patience and accepted my pup in her home as one of the family. She updates daily with photos and is available to chat if needed. Will book again!”
“Carol is simply one of the best in her care for animals and for our aging dog who needed extra attention. She treated Bailey like he was one of her own. We will definitely use her again.”
“This is our first time dropping our dog off to stay somewhere overnight. Dolly put all our nervousness to rest. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. It was evident from the videos and pictures she sent that our dog was having a great time! She got lots of exercise and play time, and we would gladly trust Dolly with her again. Our dog was not sure she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“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.”
“Melissa and Ryan are very attentive and caring. Daisy enjoyed lots of fun play time and cuddles there! I would definitely use them again! They also dropped Daisy off at home. I so appreciated their care for her and all the pictures!”
“Arilynn was awesome and took amazing care of my pup. Great communication and very kind, I would definitely recommend!”
“Michelle has been an exceptional sitter for our standard poodle. He enjoys daily park visits, swimming and lots of cuddles. It’s definitely a treat when our baby gets to stay with Michelle. Michelle is the kindest caretaker we have come across. She sends many pictures and videos to assure you that your baby is happy. We are return clients and happy for her services. She is reliable and flexible when emergencies arise. Thank you Michelle, you’re the BEST!!!”
“Ashley is great! This was our second time leaving our senior dog with her. She watched him for 3 weeks, and sent daily photos and updates! It was great to see that he was in good hands, and we appreciate the report card he received at the end of his visit. We look forward to having Ashley watch our dog again!”
“Cher was amazing with my dog. Very professional, had experience with her medication, took her on plenty of walks and gave her plenty of love. I know my dog felt right at home, as soon as we entered Cher’s place I was chopped liver! I would definitely book with Cher again.”
“My puppy had a great time with Susan! He came home happy after an overnight. Susan was easy to communicate with, responded quickly and sent updates. Very nice experience.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had a deep love and understanding for animals. Growing up with dogs and a cat, I learned the importance of providing compassion, patience, and amazing care. My experience extends beyond my own pets, I have frequently cared for family and friends' pets, often stepping in as their trusted sitter or walker when they needed help. While also providing bathes and medication as needed. I pride myself on being a reliable caregiver who treats every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their happiness and well-being at all times! I’m currently available any day of the week/weekends. This schedule allows me to give pet care my full attention! Morning walks, midday breaks or walks, evening playtime and walks. I am available to provide the love and attention and pet needs. I have a sweet 6yr old Yorkie Poodle (Luna) who has grown up around cats and dogs, friendly with kids! She can be a great friend for your furry animal. She gets to go on daily walks, even small hikes or play at dog parks and the beach. Caring for others pets and their specific needs is absolutely possible for me to do! They will always get the care and attention needed!
About: I adopted my sweet Fox (Chihuahua mix) from the Oregon Humane Society over 10 years ago and he has been my best bud always by my side through all of life’s ups and downs and moves across states! I current work from home, so I’m around most of the day outside of getting out for a run! I often run in the morning, during lunch, or after work but this can be flexible to suit the needs of the animals! I have a very friendly approximately 12 year old chihuahua mix. I live in a small condo but very close to walking areas and a dog park!
“Our dog had a great time during her 5-day stay with Erin & her family. Erin took her on daily outings - either to the dog park or on hikes. Those activities - & being able to play with Erin’s dogs kept her busy & also kept her usual anxiousness to a minimum. Erin sent photos & videos each day so we always knew what they’d been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin & we’ll have our dog stay with Erin again!”
About: Our small family of loving, responsible animal lovers lives in a perfect area for your pet. If you choose to board with me, I will ensure that your dog will have lots of access to trails, dog park and our fenced yard. I am well experienced with walking and boarding dogs and am happy to come to your home for cat and dog feeds and social time. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I work out of the home part time M-F and spend weekends adventuring around Whatcom County, so there are plenty of opportunities for hikes, water adventures and other fun outings. Dogs boarding in our home would need to be crate trained and/or able to be left for 3-4 hours at a time, inside or outside. I have a small, fully fenced yard that your pet will be safe in if you board your dog with me. We are located about 200 yards from the interurban trail, several blocks from the Fairhaven dog park and spend a lot of time in and around water, so your water-loving dog would fit right in! There are no animals that live permanently in our home.
“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.”
“Michela was great! She took care of Murphy as if he was her own. She sent me a photo or video each day and gave my updates. I would definitely us her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

Lindsey J.
“We’re so grateful to have found Lindsey—she’s truly the best dog mom when we’re not around. She’s watched our dog on several occasions, sometimes for multiple nights, and every time we pick him up, he’s relaxed, happy, and maybe even a little bummed to leave. Honestly, we’re starting to think he might love her more than he loves us (and we can’t blame him). Her care, attention, and obvious love for animals give us total peace of mind when we’re away. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pup like family, Lindsey’s your person.”
Kennedy R.
“Kennedy has boundless capacity & passion when it comes to caring for, standing up for and empathizing with the needs of all animals. She’s the first to sign up for fostering & volunteering when an animal or the community is in need. I haven’t met someone so giving, loving & righteous, and I feel as though there’s no one better to care for your sweet animal than her. On top of the trustworthiness & care, she’s also very fun and very active (she’s a professional runner). Thus, the entertaining and exercising of your pet are unmatched perks.”
