About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits…I love animals of all kinds. My mom became paralyzed and I walked and took care of her 2 senior dogs for about 8 years until they passed. I gave them oral medication, cooked their food, walked and groomed them. Then she adopted a puppy and I took care of him as well as trained him. I currently have 2 french bulldogs of my own. One is a hyper little puppy and the other is a calmer 5 year old. I love caring for pets whether they are my own or someone else’s. I currently work part time in home care until 2pm 4 days a week. I am available most afternoons. My schedule changes if a client is in the hospital and does not need care those days which gives me the flexibility to pick up more last minute walks or check ins. I have children so I cannot work all weekend but i can be flexible and am open to them. I am open to walking your dogs in your neighborhood or wherever you prefer. I am also open to check ins and feeding dogs or cats. I will do my best to keep your routine with them if that is what you prefer. I would like to know a little bit about them beforehand and any preferences or habits they have.
About: I have had dogs most of my life. I have adopted my dogs through shelters and understand the need for patience, care and going with the dogs flow! My neighbors utilize these skills to dog sit and walk throughout the years. I am currently off for the summer from my full time job! I am able to provide walks and drop ins at any time of day. Your pets safety and care is my number one priority. If you prefer more communication during the visit, I will always accommodate that. You are trusting me with your family, so I will treat them as my own family as well.
About: I have over five years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments through my job at Happy Tails Doggy Daycare, where I was promoted to the highest-level handler. Every day, I managed groups of 15+ dogs, monitored behavior, prevented conflicts, and helped create a safe, positive environment for every dog in my care. I also have experience administering medication and caring for both young and senior dogs. On a personal level, I’ve owned three dogs myself, and one of my current dogs is very anxious and reactive, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience, structure, and attention. I truly love working with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pups the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet care at a variety of hours, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, feeding on schedule, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level to make sure they are happy and comfortable, and I’m experienced in handling dogs with different personalities and needs, including reactive and senior dogs. My goal is always to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Kate was absolutely fantastic. It was the first time using a cat sitter and the first time leaving our cats. We travelled internationally so I really wanted someone I could trust. From the walk through before we travelled, I had an instant warmth and trust with Kate. During our travels she was always on time, her check-ins were very descriptive which I really appreciated and the photos she took of our cats were adorable! I was so happy that our cats welcomed her and warmed up to her very quickly, for not so cuddling cats they were very cuddling with Kate. I would highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking her for future needs. I actually feel sad that my cats won’t be seeing her on the daily for a while and I’m sure the cats are sad too!”

About: I’m new to dog walking professionally, but I’m very comfortable around dogs and eager to learn. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I take responsibility seriously especially when it comes to animal care and safety. I am willing to work with pets of any age and size. I also will be able to give you a reference if that make you more comfortable of course is not easy to leave your baby with someone you don’t know in hopes that that will make it easier. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Currently work at a Public School. I’m available for morning walks and afternoon walks. I’m also available during the weekend. I will have more availability during the Summer. I have a friendly dog what would love to keep your fur baby company. I also have a big yard the can play in but will keep them on a long leach for safety. How’s your dog with kids? I also have a 7 year old daughter who shares the same love for animals as I do!.
“Emily was great with our cat Coco! She was there when she said she would be and she made sure her litter box was clean! Sent me photos at each visit! :) Will definitely be using Emily again.”

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.
About: I have been providing in-home pet care for over 4 years now, with plenty of experience walking, caring for, and loving dogs. I have administered medicine, and am cpr and first-aid certified. I currently have 1-2 daily walks scheduled everyday Monday-Friday, and am looking to add up to 6 walks everyday! I’m hoping to have breaks between every 2-3 walks in order to care for any pet I am currently caring for in-home. I will always meet you and your pet(s) before any one on one care to ensure that we are a perfect match! Your pet’s comfort and happiness is my top priority.
“Abby and our mini poodle Ruby hit it off immediately. Abby bonded with her right away. She was quick to absorb the details of Ruby's routine and has done a great job! She is a good communicator, very responsible, and quickly responds to all our requests. She has been to our house a few times now and we will definitely have her back. A sign of a good visit - Ruby was calm and contact after and happy to nap the rest of the afternoon.”

About: I’ve taken care of my two dogs for the past five years. I got my adorable dog Bailey as a puppy so I’m experienced with puppies. I’m a violin teacher and I own my own business.

“Jill took care of our cats during a long weekend, making sure one of them got their meds everyday. She was reliable and completed reports with photos to make sure we knew they were being well taken care of. We would book with her again!”

About: I have had and cared for dogs for 20+years since I was 10 years old. My husband and I adopted our golden retriever, Izzy in 2021. For 6 years I have been a volunteer and a foster at Forever Home Rescue in Medfield for the dogs that are brought up North weekly to find a home. We have fostered almost 30 dogs in our house & ONLY foster-failed with ONE, Pongo 🐶😊 I work a hybrid schedule currently and go into the office 2 to 3 days a week. I generally do not do week long boardings due to my work schedule, however it can sometimes be arranged depending on the week and our work schedules, so please feel free to still request! I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs, Izzy, a 5 year old Golden Retriever and Pongo, a 4 year old Lab/Weimaraner mix. They are both very sweet and happy pups who are used to sharing their home with dog- guests (whether boarding or fosters). When they were younger they went to daycare 2x a week and are well socialized and good with sharing their toys/beds/treats/etc. Pongo can be weary/protective the first time he meets a new dog and may give a growl or 2, but warms up quickly once he realizes they are friendly! Izzy and Pongo are both on the calmer side, and do best with dogs who will play/wrestle/run with them outside and then relax, lounge, and chew on some Benebones inside with them! Your dog is free to nap and hangout on the couch, dog beds, or our bed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bellingham
This was our first time using Rover, and we were so happy to find Angela. She made the entire experience easy and worry free by providing regular updates and photos, and letting us know how our Enzo was doing during their first time together. We booked her for two daily drop ins and everything went smoothly. Knowing that Angela is highly experienced and professional in handling dogs of all sizes and their unique behaviors and quirks gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much, Angela!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bellingham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
