“Kyla was a superb sitter for our young pup. We were so anxious over having to leave him with someone as he has had a tough time already in life with being born in a street in Texas, then having to stay in a shelter in a pen for almost three months to then being brought to Tennessee to a shelter where he was adopted by us. Then he had to take a long Trek to Connecticut in a semi trailer with 150 other dogs crated the whole trip where we picked him up. He is very anxious and not use to other people or animals. I must say Kyla was super great with Franklin. She did everything we had asked even down to the insane feeding ways we have. We left a long list with Kyla as if we were leaving a human child and she fulfilled each and every one and then some. She is a very caring, kind and loving animal sitter. Her house is super clean and a great environment for any pet. Her children are just the cutest and very helpful with the animals. They love animals and are very gentle with them which was so cute to see. Kyla was super great about sending daily pictures and updates to us about Franklin. She keeps things very professional and I will certainly recommend her to anyone who wants a home away from home for there pet while they vacation or work. We will definitely use her pet boarding services again.”
“Maribel was an AMAZING dog sitter! I recently adopted a VERY skittish dog few months ago. I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time, she was extremely attentive and patient…. She was able to get her out of her shell, by the end of the stay she made tons of friends & loved it there!! We will be back ❣️❣️”
“Absolutely recommend Bethany! We use her continuously for quick overnight stays and multiple day stays and have never had an issue. My dog, Axel is always excited to go there and does not want to leave when we come for pick up. She is so patient, kind and loving. It feels as if you are leaving your dog with a family member.”
“Alexandra was great to communicate with and her home and yard were perfect for my dog. She was friendly and shared photos of my very happy dog during his stay. We will definitely use Joseph and Alexandra again!”
“My dog was instantly comfortable and appeared very happy to be hanging out with and in Denise’s care. We are very happy to have found the perfect local person and safe environment for Riggs when we are in need of a dogsitter. Thank you!”
“Heather is so sweet & fantastic. She took such good care of my pups. I appreciated her thoughtful communication and compassion for the doggos. I will certainly come back to her again and will recommend her to my friends & family. She's amazing & I'm so grateful to have connected with her!”
“Briana was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Ace. This was our first time boarding him and I was nervous. He is also young so I was worried about him with bigger dogs. Once we met, I knew Briana and her dogs were going to be a great fit for him. He had an absolute blast and he is exhausted from all the love. She sends pic throughput the day so I know he was having so much fun! I would highly recommend her and I will book with her again in the future! Thanks again Briana for making my first time away from my pup a relaxing and non stressful experience!”
“Stacy was amazing! She communicated very well and was great with our lab! She has a big back yard and welcomed our dog into her home with open arms. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Stacy! 10/10 service.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Peggy! She responded to our request right away, was very communicative, and really showed that she wanted to make sure everything went smoothly with Lexi. Lexi loved her stay and Peggy even sent photos throughout the day. Highly recommend her!”
“Simone is wonderful! She was very attentive to our older dog! She very much wants to provide the best care so our pet would be happy and comforted. Loved receiving photos and communication while we were away! Highly recommend!!”
“First time leaving Gus for a long time. Courtney kept me at ease with her great communication and sharing photos! Her dog Lucy and Gus hit it off right away. I’ve already rebooked for another upcoming trip! Recommend 100/10”
“Sammie enjoyed another great stay with Andrew and Family! Always an easy and seamless experience and sending the updates and candid shots of Sammie is appreciated so much! Thank you for taking since great care of our girl!”
“Wow! Nancy is the best…Cooper (our part dog/part human labradoodle) had a great meet & greet and then felt right at home a couple weeks later when he stayed at “Camp Nancy.” We got several daily pics where Coop looked so at home. It is clear that Nancy is a total dog person and knows how to cater to just what your pet needs. Daily walks thru her neighborhood made Cooper happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy. Really, really incredible Rover sitter!”
“Melissa and her family were amazing hosts for our dog. Koe loves to be busy and this was the perfect house for him. We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend and know he had a great time getting lots of activity, attention and love. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Andreana was awesome to work with. She was kind, loving and friendly. She took great care of Bernie during Christmas and was very consistent with communication and updates. Bernie was happy! We will use her again!”

Julie and team were awesome, daily updates, terrific accommodations and the perfect yard for hours of playtime. Our Luke enjoyed his stay and meeting, mingling and playing with the other guests. Highly recommend if you are in the MetroWest area, conveniently located and superior communications.
Jessica was amazing with my giant, goofy lap dog! She was diligent and thoughtful in organizing our meet and greet with her adorable pup. She’s clearly experienced, caring, and responsible. I got some adorable pics of Marv having a swim in her back yard and he was happy and healthy as can be when I picked him up. I’d happily book with Jessica again on my next trip where Mr. Marv can’t join me 🐶☺️
Andrew was a fantastic dog sitter for our mini Goldendoodle, Hop. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he has a Goldendoodle of his own—our dogs got along really well and seemed to enjoy their time together. Andrew sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and he was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was clear Hop was in great hands the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Bellingham sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bellingham landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bellingham home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bellingham.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bellingham sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
