I’m independent and sometimes aloof. I love slow walks, treats and sleeping a lot. My favorite part of Orcas Island: sniffing around the yard and house, and lying in the doggie bed that was probably meant for a much bigger dog!
All three of our homes welcome dogs, and some of our favorite guests have four legs. Here are a few who’ve stayed with us.

Meet Scrappy, the official greeter and ambassador of Orcas Island Getaway. We "rescued" him from a Ross store in 2013, and he’s called the front deck home since 2014.
Each month, Lori & Todd pick a Pup of the Month, who gets a little something from the island and a spot on our social and newsletter. Share a photo of your pup.
The first Pup of the Month will be chosen in November 2026.

I’m independent and sometimes aloof. I love slow walks, treats and sleeping a lot. My favorite part of Orcas Island: sniffing around the yard and house, and lying in the doggie bed that was probably meant for a much bigger dog!

I really enjoyed visiting Orcas Island, hiking all the trails and then relaxing in a comfortable bed with my family back at the house.

I really enjoyed visiting Orcas Island and hiking on Turtleback Mountain and Obstruction Pass State Park!

My favorite part of visiting Orcas Island was going on walks and hikes. Oh, and my parents getting married on the island was awesome too!

My favorite part of visiting Orcas Island was hiking through the woods to see Mountain Lake!

I loved my trip to Orcas Island! I especially enjoyed our morning trips to the dog park, walking around Mountain Lake and exploring Obstruction Pass. So many good smells! I also couldn’t get enough of the super soft couch at the house. When’s our next trip?

What I loved most about visiting Orcas Island was all the walks. We explored Turtleback Mountain and Moran State Park. They were long days, but I came back to a comfy bed and slept the whole night through, just to do it all again the next day!

I loved Orcas Island Getaway! There was so much to do and smell. I hiked around Summit Lake, watched the sun set from Rosario resort and climbed the observation tower at Mt. Constitution, which was my people’s favorite. But MY favorite was Obstruction Pass, where I got to swim and smell all the rocks and shells. Each day I came back to a cozy place to rest. I’m still exhausted from all the fun!

SOPHIE: I’m a ball full of energy, so I love short walks, long hikes, or just running around the yard. I play chase with my brother and love hearing the sounds of nature. It’s so peaceful here.
KANE: I love swimming, especially while mom and dad are kayaking. Sophie doesn’t like to swim like I do, so she stays in mom’s kayak. People on the beach look at us and laugh because we wear life jackets too, but we don’t care. We’re having a blast!
