“We are so thankful we found Jenna!! She is an absolute doll, so sweet & so easy to work with! Her communication is excellent, it’s clear she loves animals & she cares about doing the best possible job! I would highly recommend booking with her - you will not be disappointed! We’ll be using her again, without a doubt!”
“Rene did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! I felt they were in good hands and received updates and pictures from the visit. Thank you Rene!”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, and as such I think I have a unique set of skills and experiences that make me more than qualified to watch over your animals! I have had horses, goats, alpacas, bunnies, cats, and dogs in backyard my whole life, and I have experience housing sitting all types of dogs, cats, and even the occasional bird. Caring for animals has been apart of my life since before I could even walk and because of this I feel confident in my ability to maneuver any situation involving animals and make sure they stay happy and healthy while in my care. I am a student at WWU and have a pretty busy schedule during the week but weekends are always free, and I could open something up during the week if needed, as long as it’s in the afternoon. I have experience with anti social and reactive dogs as well as super friendly and cuddly dogs, and I understand that each dog has their quirks and needs to be taken care of in a specific way. I can promise that I will always put consideration in my care for your animals based on their personality and comfort levels. I also understand completely how hard it can be to entrust someone else to take care of your animals, so expect lots of updates and photos from me to keep you in the loop of all their shenanigans!
“Mika was quick to respond and easy to communicate with! I appreciate all the steps she took to help my anxious cat feel more comfortable in the short time she visited, as well as the many update pictures that were sent. I'm definitely contacting her again; highly recommend!”
“Sophia just took care of our cat for a second time, and she was very communicative and helpful :) we definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter in the area”
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 :)
“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’ve loved dogs my whole life—growing up with a lab, poodle, and two Boston terriers, all with very different quirks and needs. Lately, I’ve cared for older huskies and playful mid-sized dogs. I’m detail-oriented and always focus on what makes each dog happiest, whether it’s extra patience, playtime, or gentle care for seniors. As a full time student in university Im limited to weekend only drop in visits and dog walking. Im available any time during most weekends! I love being active and taking your dog out for walks or hikes would certainly make us all happy! I dont have a suitable set up for boarding animals at the moment, but am able to care for your pet in your home and can adhere to your current situation.
About: I have previous experience working as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital and have been pet sitting for over 10 years. My experience includes working with dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I grew up with in a home with many animals and now have a senior cat of my own. I would love to meet your pet and help out in any way I can. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions! I am currently doing online school and have lots of free time to spend with your pets! I’m available any day of the week during working hours. I love spending time on walks, cuddling with your pets, and making sure they get lots of love! Keeping your pet happy and healthy is my only focus, and I like to treat each of my clients according to their unique needs and preferences.
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!
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: From high-energy puppies to soulful seniors, I provide the expert care your pets deserve—trusted by family, friends, and furry clients alike for reliable walking, sitting, and overnight stays. I have experience in leash pulling, puppy care, and anxious pets. My schedule is pretty flexible depending on the week I’m having but message me and we will work out a time that works for both of us. I prioritize a secure, stress-free environment by closely following your pet's established routine. If your pet is crate-trained, I use their crate as a safe space for sleeping or decompression. For those not crate-trained, I focus on building trust through gentle interaction and constant supervision. I strictly adhere to any special commands or training vocabulary you use to ensure clear communication and a sense of familiarity for your pet.
“Thanks again for providing extra TLC to help nurse Valentino back to health. You went above-n-beyond to meet our needs during holiday week. Daily pics and video provided reassurance everything was going great!”

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.
