“Camille did such a wonderful job with our cats! She went above and beyond in taking care of them and made sure they were always fed and played with. I highly recommend Camille as a dedicated, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”
“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.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and I could not be more pleased with how great Morgan was with Champ! She met him a few days before the scheduled drop-ins and he immediately started licking her and asking for pets before she even finished coming inside (Champ is normally super shy and barks a lot). Morgan was very communicative and sent several pictures and updates during each drop-in. I hate leaving Champ (I’ve only boarded him three times in his 8 years of life and am always paranoid if he’s not right by me lol) so I was nervous about how it would be for someone else to come into my house to watch him but it was the best decision. Champ hates fireworks so Morgan moved his bedding into the bathroom where he was hiding and she sat in there with him until he calmed down. If I boarded Champ he would’ve been in a kennel near a bunch of other dogs freaking out about the fireworks but Champ got to be in his own home where he feels safe. She went above and beyond any expectations I had. I laid out some pee pads and sure enough, Champ understandably had a couple of accidents because he wouldn’t go outside during the fireworks and Morgan cleaned up without any complaints. I would be thrilled to have Morgan take care of Champ again next time I go out of town!”
About: I really enjoy meeting all kinds of cats and dog and appreciate their quirky personalities. It's especially great when I get the change to develop relationships with them from repeat connections. I'm current unemployed and will likely be working online part-time, seeking work, or doing online research projects. So, my time and place are very flexible. One of my dogs is difficult/unpredictable with other dogs, so I'm likely to do care away. (My dogs are probably a little TOO interested in cats.)
“Leslie was amazing with my two pups and such a great find for a last minute booking! She was accommodating and great with communication. This was my first time using Rover and I was not sure how my pups would be with a new person as one of them can be anxious. They warmed up to Leslie right away and there were no issues. I appreciated the detailed check ins and pictures at every visit and felt very reassured my dogs were being well taken care of. I will definitely be using Leslie again! Highly recommend!”
About: My family consists of breeds ranging from German Shepherd’s and an ex K9 and dachshunds. I have worked with extroverted and shy dogs! I am patient with any breed and its needs. I currently have a work study job and am a full time student. My availability on this app will change based on the college quarter. I’m someone who likes to be outside to walk dogs and cats! I also am able to relax and be someone to love them :) In a clients home I take big precautions with windows, doors, and garages. Safety of the animals is my main priority. I have spoiled cats at home and my family has many dogs all with different mental and health needs. Due to this I am comfortable with whatever your pet needs :)
“Another fabulous stay from Cady. Regular updates showing happy cats, thoughtful communication, and care taken for both our home and our fur babies. Cady is our go-to sitter!”
About: I've had animals my entire life - dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have also nannied for a lot of families with dogs and cats. I've done vet visits, administered medications, and regularly help care for my brother's aussie shepherd. I'm knowledgeable, responsible, friendly, and love animals. I have had my own cat, Domo, since 2009, and he's my best friend. I would love to have a dog too but I can’t right now, so I would love to spend time with yours! My brother manages a veterinarian office so I always have extra information and someone to reach out to. I look forward to spending time with your furry family members! I'm currently looking for work (I work in social services and mental health care) after moving back to Bellingham from Seattle. I miss my friends' pets! I have a 17 year old senior cat who loves his own space and unfortunately would not appreciate me bringing animals home to his space. I have had him since he was ten weeks old!
“Five Stars! Keely is a fantastic pet sitter! She stayed in our home for two weeks and did a fantastic job looking after our two cats. When we returned, the house was in immaculate shape and our cats were both very happy. She regularly provided us with photos and updates of our kitties. We felt very grateful to have her looking after them on our trip.”
About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.
“Sophia & The Rover service were all amazing. First time users and will be returning (to hopefully book Sophia) on our next out of town get away. Sophia had a connection with our cats that was immediate and left us with no worries while we were gone. Well taken care of with tons of pics which is one of the best features of this service. I can’t give a higher recommendation than to book Sophia through Rover to take care of your animals while you are away.”
About: I have grown up around animals and have had multiple dogs throughout my life. I have pet sit multiple times, cats and dogs, and love to get to just hangout with furry friends! I am very active, and I would make sure your pets get lots of love! Currently I am free everyday of the week, so I can do boarding and help with pets that need more consistent care/attention. At the end of September I start school, so I may be able to do more of just daily walks and things like that. I live in a safe neighborhood and all of my roommates love animals! I have an unfenced grassy yard. I will make sure to follow each pets routines and instructions provided.
About: Hello! My pet care service will bring you peace of mind & allow you to rest easy while you're away from home. Your pets will be loved, protected, & well cared for by a mature, dependable, experienced, medical professional who will treat them with the utmost level of TLC & integrity, just as I would my own. Your pets health, safety, & comfort are my highest priority! I have 40 years of both professional & personal experience working in a wide variety of animal care including veterinary medicine, balanced K-9 & equine positive approach training, wildlife & domestic animal rescue & rehabilitation. I'm not just limited to dogs & cats! I have experience & offer care for most all species, such as exotics and livestock, (ie: horses, chickens, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters, snakes, etc...) A little bit about myself: Aside from caring for a plethora of childhood pets, I began my career in veterinary medicine at the age of 16. At age 19, I successfully completed a rigorous 2 month, 8 hr./7 days a week, K-9 training program. It was then that I began professionally training dogs in a wide variety of skills such as basic & advanced (off-leash) obedience, personal protection, police & narcotic detection K-9's. My most recent work history includes working as a CVA in the ER/CCU/ICU departments at both Blue Pearl and Summit 24/7 animal ER/specialty referral hospitals, located in Tacoma Washington. Prior to going back into animal medicine, I worked as a RMA/Radiology tech for MultiCare, and as a college instructor for the Medical Assistant program at Everest Tech, as well. 🐾 TIA for your time & interest in the services I provide~ I look forward to hearing from you! 🐾 🚨**Please disregard the "total price estimates" that Rover quotes, as they can sometimes be calculated wrong, reflecting an incorrect price of care. If you're interested in my services, please contact me for a correct estimate.🚨 A typical day consists of spending 16 hours with your pets in your home & the other 8 hrs taking care of my own pets & other responsibilities. Typical daily routine, which is flexible, depending on your pets needs: 6-7am: Morning care consists of breakfast & 2 potty breaks. I return between 3-4pm to feed dinner, provide potty breaks, playtime, & cuddles until the next morning.
“AJ watched our 3 cats and 4 chickens again this time for 12 nights. It was clear that everyone was so well looked after and cared for. We came back to a ridiculously clean home and are just so grateful for all of AJ's hard work.”

So thankful to have found Layne to care for our senior kitty! I appreciate how well she communicated with us in providing updates and lots of photos. My kitty seemed to really enjoy her company! We wouldn't hesitate to have Layne take care of our girl again! She is awesome!
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!
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!
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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Bellingham is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
