Kiley was great! She was understanding that our kitty is extremely shy and kept us updated while we were away. She even accommodated an extra drop in on extremely short notice. I definitely recommend her!!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I’m experienced in walking, bathing, nail trimming, potty training, basic puppy training, oral medication dispensing, and senior care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to step out for pet care as needed. I have half days most of the week and weekends free. I can provide plenty of treats, toys and different levels of stimulation for your pets needs. I am diligent when it comes to cleanliness and safety as well.

Gwen was outstanding with our new puppy. She was comforting and took very good care of him. She obviously has great experience with dogs. Look forward to using her again.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or loving care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for you and your dog. I'm recently retired and love to stay active. My family and I recently lost our dog after 12 years and are looking to fill the void she left. I will treat your dog like my own and will prioritize their safety and happiness. We have a very large fenced in yard for your furry friend to play in. I am new to in-home pet care but have had pets my entire life. I am very reliable and a strong believer in communication and timeliness. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet and greet! I am recently retired and am looking to fill a void in my life since the passing of my dog Pepper. I look forward to getting to know you and your dog(s) and will give them the same love and care that I've given to all of my past pets. I have a large fenced yard as well as well as a handful of hiking trails near my home. I look forward to making your dog feel comfortable with me and my family.

About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel & a very large husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I rescued a German shepherd/pit bull mix (Layla) who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I rescued Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans & dogs alike. I’ve completed extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently available throughout the work week at any time (as an educator on summer break). As of September 1st, I will be available from 2pm into the early evening. Book early to save a spot right at 2! I know a wide variety of trails/walking spots in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I make sure to carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and try to engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash. Within your home, I’ll always change/refill the water for the dog(s) after the walk.

We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family members, friends, neighbors, etc. have always had pets and have relied on me to take care of them for periods of time. I work on a hybrid schedule, so I am home most Mondays, Fridays - Sundays all day. When I am in the City working I have breaks where I can walk dogs that are close by as well. I don’t have any pets in my home, I live with my fiance who has grown up owning multiple dogs at a time. We have no children in the home either. We live in a townhouse with a front and back yard.

About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been taking care of and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 2 small parrots of our own. We live in a house with our own private fenced in dog park in the back. 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 also do not take dogs that mark all over the house, one accident is expected when nervous in a new environment and we understand. We do charge extra $20 if you run out of food or we need to feed your dog our own food because dog food is costly these days. We also will charge a $200 cleaning fee for dogs who do mark all over the house because as stated we do not take dogs that do this. 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. We will always be very transparent with you.

Jessica was an outstanding pet sitter. From our very first contact through every drop-in visit, she was prompt, clear, and reliable in her communication. She sent plenty of photos of our pups while we were away, which was very reassuring. We have one elderly, arthritic dog and another who is quite anxious, and Jessica approached the job with confidence and professionalism. When we returned home, both dogs were calm and relaxed—clear proof that they were well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She made our last-minute family getaway possible!

USophia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. We had her scheduled for three drop-in visits each day, and she was always on time and often stayed even longer than expected to spend extra time with our dog, which meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire weekend. She sent us lots of photos and updates at every visit, so we were able to see how our dog was doing and felt completely at ease while we were away. Sophia was incredibly kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Sophia with our dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️

Keri is awesome with my almost 14 year old Golden. During these hot days when it is too hot for him to walk, she comes in, plays and interacts with him. She has made leaving him during the day so much easier. Keri is just a kind person as well as wonderful with animals!!

Wow! This is my first time using Rover and Anna was the first sitter to pop up. I was a little nervous but decided to give it a try. She was absolutely amazing! I never had to worry at all about how my cat was doing. I felt relaxed and relieved, knowing she was in great hands. Every time Anna did her drop in I got pictures and a progress note. Kila loves her and I came home to one happy cat! I will absolutely be hiring Anna the next time I ago away . Thank you, Anna!

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.

Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bellingham on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 9,896 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bellingham. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
