About: Hi! I live with my boyfriend and we love watching dogs! I already have one dog and treat her like a princess. She gets along great with other dogs and it's nice to have that time with another pup. We do have a cat! Dogs naturally listen to me well and I've been watching and taking care of dogs for over 14 years. I moved to the Lakes Region recently from Seattle this Spring. I'd love to take the dogs out to the park, hiking, running, or just to the dog park. I live in an apartment and we take frequent outdoor breaks. Someone is always home for the dogs. I work out of the home two days per week but my boyfriend is available those days :-). Otherwise we are on walks and getting outside rain or shine! I can easily crate your dog if needed. We take frequent outdoor breaks and I never mind going outside. We have several parks nearby as well as being right off the Wow Trail.
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: 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’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. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. My schedule is very flexible in the mornings and early afternoons. I work as a violin teacher during the after school so am available in the mornings and afternoons during the week. I am available between 8 am and 3 pm Monday thru Friday. I have my own two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Our yard is open at present but my husband and I anticipate having it fenced in this spring/summer.
About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been taking care of and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 1 parrot of our own. We live in a house with our own yard. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not accepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35-40lbs or less. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. We visit a local dog park and we also have a yard. We have our own yard and we will be outside with your dog on leash, never left unsupervised, safety for everyone is important to us.

“This was our first time hiring Jill and she did an awesome job coming to our home to check in on our three pups. We only needed afternoon visits and she did a great job spending time with them outside and making sure their water bowl was full. She left our house locked up and alarm set with no problems. Because Jill was so reliable and professional we hired her for the remaining 2 weeks that we needed the extra help. I not only recommend her but will hire her in the future!”

“Carley took excellent care of my kitties while I was away for the first time since moving to a new home! She followed my info for feeding, playing etc to the tee and sent lots of photos during her visits. I could tell both my cats were super comfortable with her and were getting lots of love while I was away 🥰”

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!.

About: I have done many dog and cat sitting jobs since I was 12, for multiple people in my neighborhood. I am an animal behavior major and love working with animals! I also have two dogs and cats of my own who I love very much! I am currently home from college for the summer and have lots of free time! I am available any day of the week day or night! I am happy to care for your pets in any capacity you need! Your pets will get lots of love and exercise while I am there!
About: I have owned cats and dogs, as well as many other animals, my entire life. I have over 6 years of actual pet sitting experience. I am extremely comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. I'm extremely patient and understanding for those who take a little more time. I am currently trying working part time and have plenty of free time to visit with your pups! It is important to me that I get out and enjoy the scenery around us. I have experience with animals of many temperaments. I also and extremely comfortable cleaning up after those pups who like to make mess' in their free time.
About: I have had and cared for dogs for about 20 years since I was 10 years old. My fiancé and I adopted our golden retriever, Izzy in 2021. For 4 years I have been a volunteer and a foster at Forever Home Rescue in Medfield, caring for the dogs that are transported weekly up from the south to find their forever families. We have fostered 23 so far through the rescue and ONLY adopted 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/ my husband and my schedules, so please still inquire! I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs, Izzy, a 4 year old Golden Retriever and Pongo, a 3 year old Lab/Weimaraner mix. They are both very sweet and happy pups who love and are used to having dog- guests (whether boarding or fosters). They go to daycare every Tuesday 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 too! 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 without them! Your dog is free to nap and hangout on the couch, dog beds, or our bed.
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.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bellingham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
To find sitters in Bellingham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
