“Cheryl took great care of my two cats while I was on a two week vacation. She handled food, water, treats, litter, and play just right. From the meet and greet, I could tell she has a sweet and gentle touch and really understands how to relate to cats. Her thorough updates including photos kept me confident that they were in good hands.”
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
“We always have peace of mind when we know we have Kate to look after our girls while we’re away! She goes above and beyond and we are lucky to have her :) Our kitties remember her and are excited to see her! They look for her even after we’re home!”
About: Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for more than 20 years. I started dog walking for neighbors when I was just 10 years old, and that love of animals eventually grew into professional pet-sitting work. I have worked for two professional pet-sitting companies for a combined 20 years, caring for dogs, cats, and pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make you feel completely comfortable knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. Your pets will be treated like family while they’re in my care. I also have extensive experience with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and learn what makes them happiest! ❤️🐾 My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to work pet sitting and dog walking into my week. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have many many years of experience as a professional pet sitter. I am thoroughly trained in keeping your pet safe. Your home will be respected and taken care of, your pets will be treated with kindness and kept safe.
About: Animal care is a big part of my life — I have four pets including a pit-bull, two lab mixes and a cat of my own, plus a year of experience walking and house sitting dogs and cats through my partner's pet care business. I treat every pet like my own, and your animal's safety and comfort always come first. I have just recently left my full time teaching job, so I can now give my full time, attention and effort into your furry family I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine — feeding, water, and exercise on schedule. Since I don't watch dogs at my own home, visits happen at the client's house, whether that's a drop-in, walk, or house sitting. I do a quick safety check, send photo updates, and leave things just as I found them.
“Nicole was great and my cat loved her! She kept me up to date with lots of pictures and texts during her visits which was awesome. It made leaving my cat at home a little easier knowing Nicole was checking in on her and giving her lots of love.”
About: I’ve had animals since I was 6. Growing up I had over twenty cats, numerous dogs (big and small), and a horse! While owning animals allowed me to learn the basics, I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering in both RI and MA animal rescues to help animals in need. This has allowed me to meet an array of different species as well as personalities. It’s also taught me how to socialize feral cats/dogs, administer medication, CLEAN, and give lots of love. Each pet is unique and I learn something from every one of them! Some can run endlessly and others have to be rolled off the couch. I love and care for them all. If your pet is a social butterfly who is easy going or a bit of a weirdo who won’t tolerate being looked at or the sound of breathing while they eat, I’m your girl! At the end of the day I aim to be a consistent, stable, and reliable resource for pet parents looking for someone to care for their babies! I’m also open to discuss my pricing if need be I have LOTS of free time!! I’m hoping to fill up my schedule with as many fur babies as possible! The more snuggles the better! Making your pet comfortable is always the goal and that process isn’t always smooth! That’s okay! I have time, treats, and more treats on my side. For social animals I am able to just do what makes them happy. Walks, play time, cuddles, etc. For the shy babies I know it’s not always a one visit solution and that’s okay! I’ve had the meanest feral cats you can imagine in my house who turn into the snuggliest love bugs with a little time, love, and stability. It takes time to build trust and I respect that
“Jeff was very patient, attentive, and kind with my shy cat. He was able to come for a meet and greet to meet my cat before sitting, which was lovely! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I have lots of experience with dogs, and I am passionate about making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I have two dogs at home, 4 and 7, whom I love very dearly. I regularly do dog walks and have experience with overnight stays for one or two dogs at a time. I’m comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. Although my schedule varies, pet care is something I truly prioritize. I often dog-sit and walk dogs during my free time, allowing me to be flexible while still providing attentive, loving care. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play and relax. I ensure they have access to fresh water, toys, and cozy spots to rest. In my clients' homes, I prioritize their pets' comfort and follow any specific instructions provided. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer companionship, and keep them engaged with playtime and exercise. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with love and attention to ensure they feel at ease.
About: I have over 4 years of experience caring for dogs all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked in a dog daycare environment, including experience as a supervisor, so I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and handling different needs and temperaments. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I treat every pet like family and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working as a nanny and will also be returning to college, but I have plenty of availability to care for your pets!

About: I'm currently a Masters Student at the University of St Gallen studying international relations as a dual degree student, and I worked in social work before that.

“Cheyana responded quickly to my last minute request and set up a Meet and Greet for later that day. Cheyana came promptly as scheduled and took my dog for a nice walk. There were no issues and my dog was really happy!!! Would definitely hire Cheyana again!”
“Carolyn did a great job caring for our two cats! She was timely with her visits, she was very communicative with thorough texts, feeding routine recaps, and several photos at each check-in. Our cats each need medication twice daily and she was able to administer and problem solve when they made it tricky for her. Great first experience with Carolyn - and Rover.”
“Kayla did a great job watching our cats! Our girl cat loves her (probably due to churu bribery). Kayla also keeps tabs on our super shy boy cat even when he hides under our bed.”
About: I have taken care of my pets for years, mainly cats, but I have experience with dogs as well. Either way, I love both the same! I am able to administer medications, follow diet guidelines, and take care of accidents that may occur. And most of all, I can provide a cuddle or snuggle and unconditional love for your fur baby or babies! I currently have a part time job, but will be able to take care of animals full time soon! For now I can take care of animals Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have one cat at the moment, I have helped to take care of him along with my parents for over 11 years. In recent years, as he ages, he has needed more medications which I have helped to administer, he is on a special diet and he also has some tummy troubles occasionally that I have helped to clean up. I also had a second cat that I took care of at the same time who needed a lot more care. He was a small, sensitive Siamese who was extremely overbred and who suffered from a lot of stomach issues. The two cats didn’t get along so the Siamese ended up living mainly in my room and our other cat had the run of the house since he had arrived in the family first.

Breanna was amazing! She not only took care of our cat while we were on vacation, she was very considerate in bringing in our mail and dripping our faucets during the ice storms. I don't know what we would have done without her. I'll definitely book with her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bellingham is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
