“Lizz was very attentive and tailored her cat sitting to our cats’ needs, as opposed to a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Lizz was very helpful with handling other miscellaneous requests around our house - unrelated to cat sitting. Lizz is very personable and friendly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her with our fur babies and access to our home. We will definitely request Lizz in the future!”
“Jennie did an excellent job looking after our cat. She has pets of her own, is very caring, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She is easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Great work Jenna!”
“Azure is a cat whisperer! Our very shy cat even loves to come out and get cuddles from her, which is a major accomplishment. We always feel safe and secure leaving our animals in her care.”
“Paulina was absolutely amazing! Very timely and very on top of any medication and special instructions. My kitty absolutely loved her and I will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Layne was great with my cat! She hung out for a while and sent me pictures and info that made me feel like my cat was well cared for. I will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend.”
“We've had Emily take care of our cats while out of town since moving to Bellingham in 2024. Before, we often had our neighbors come to feed them. The difference is clear - the cats are not panicked or extra needy when we come home. It's more like: oh, good, you're back, is it time to eat? Emily is exceptionally reliable and communicative and we so appreciate knowing that she is taking care of our girls when we are away.”
“As always, Braelyn was amazing! This is the second time she’s watched my cats, and she did a great job with them, including giving my senior kitty his medication. My cats are always so happy to see her and it’s clear she takes good care of them!”
“Arianna did a lovely job taking care of our four kitties. She was dependable and sent lots of pictures. One of our cats has to be pilled twice a day, and everything went smoothly. I recommend Arianna for cat care for sure!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! Attentive, communicative, and so thoughtful about sending pictures of my kitties, just as I’d asked. One of my cats decided to take it upon himself to demolish a potted plant while I was away, and Willow cleaned up the whole mess without hesitation—and rescued my plant. When I got home, both of my kitties were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I trust and rely on Flannery to care for my cat when I am away. I always return to a calm , loving kitty! Flannery texts every day with detailed reports, pictures and videos! Such peace of mind for my dear kitty while I’m away is priceless, thank you, Flannery!!❤️❤️❤️”
“Sophia was fantastic! One of my cats got so stressed missing us that he ended up having blood in his urine - she spotted it and communicated to me right away so we could get him to a vet and get meds. She was a great communicator and clearly very sweet and caring with my boys. I will definitely book her again! Thank you!”
About: I have pet sit off and on since high school, and have had many different pets growing up. I specialize with cats, including anxious or ones needing medication. I am currently in college, and class time varies between days, but outside of class and especially on the weekends I have plenty of time and energy. Walks with dogs are long and steady, easily lasting 45+ minutes rain or shine. When working with cats, I like to keep it low energy, plenty of lap time if they would like and toys when they ask!
“Rene was a great sitter for our two cats! She followed all our (complicated) directions for feeding them and they both loved her - even our shy boy! We’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Rene!”
“Darien was great with my senior cat! I felt very comfortable leaving her to care for him and give him his thyroid pill every day. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bellingham
We had a great experience with Braelyn! Maya can be aggressive with strangers, so it was nice having a sitter with a calm demeanor that my cat could feel comfortable around. Communication was great, and we loved getting pictures and updates. We felt completely comfortable knowing Maya was being well taken care of and had no worries while we were gone. We would definitely book with her again!
Jewel did a great job taking care of our 2 cats while we were on vacation! Even our one usually very shy cat absolutely loved her! She was very communicative and sent lots of great daily updates and pictures. We would not hesitate to book Jewel again. Thank you!

Azure was happy to do a meet and greet for our first time using her services. She and our cats clicked right away!! She did everything we asked of her, communicated the entire time and sent great updates and photos from her drop-ins. We came home to happy and relaxed cats which made us happy and relaxed pet parents. We will definitely be requesting Azure again in the future.

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.

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.
