Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!

Annie was super responsive when we were searching for a dog sitter for the day and made herself available at the very last minute. Our dog seemed to have a great time and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up in the evening.

I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.

Tami was fantastic. By coincidence, the first day we took our dog to Tami's place, there had been several inches of snow the night before. There was a small hill on the way to her house thaty sedan wasn't able to handle in those conditions. I let her know we were having trouble getting to her, and she drove out to meet us. Then she did the same when we came to pick our pup up from her. Really went the extra mile for us, and it was very much appreciated. Our dog came home happy and tired, and we'll definitely be going to Tami again in the future.

My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!

Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.

Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.

About: What sets me apart is the way I approach every dog as an individual. I understand that every pet has their own personality, comfort level, routine, and preferences, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or happiest relaxing with someone nearby, I take the time to earn their trust and provide care that helps them feel secure and understood. As a lifelong dog owner, I've learned that patience, consistency, and attentiveness make all the difference. I'm observant, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether we're playing in the yard, going for a walk, practicing good manners, or simply relaxing together. My goal is to provide the same level of care, respect, and affection that I would want for my own dog, giving both pets and their owners peace of mind. Having raised and trained two dogs throughout my life, I'm comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life. I understand that puppies require patience, structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement as they learn routines, build confidence, and burn off their energy. I'm happy to reinforce house-training, practice basic commands, maintain feeding schedules, and provide plenty of supervised play and enrichment. I'm equally experienced with senior dogs. My own dog, Peggy, is a sweet 14-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer–Retriever mix, so I'm familiar with the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness older dogs often need. Whether that means slower walks, administering routines as directed, monitoring mobility, or simply providing a calm, comfortable environment, I adapt my care to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, supported, and loved while giving owners confidence that their companion is receiving thoughtful, reliable, and personalized care. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I'm currently on summer break while preparing for student teaching, and I work remotely, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. Each morning starts with feeding our dog and making sure the doggy door is open so they can comfortably go outside as needed. Throughout the day, I monitor, play with, and walk our dog based on their needs, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. My weekly routine is much the same. Unless I have plans made in advance, I spend most of my time working from home and caring for our dog, with only occasional errands. My partner works during the day and is home around 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with weekends off, providing additional support. When student teaching begins, my weekday schedule will change somewhat, but I will continue to prioritize dependable, attentive care and ensure pets receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, patient, and compassionate care while taking the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or taking them on walks, I prioritize positive interactions, close supervision, and clear communication with owners so everyone feels comfortable and confident. My home is a one-bedroom house with a large, fully fenced yard that offers plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and exercise safely. The yard can be divided into a smaller enclosed area or opened to provide access to the entire lot, allowing me to adjust the space based on each dog's energy level, comfort, and the day's circumstances. All perimeter gates are equipped with secure locking mechanisms to help prevent dogs from opening them, providing an extra layer of safety. If your dog is crate-trained or requires a crate for their routine, I have space to comfortably accommodate their crate and am happy to crate them as directed. I also share my home with my 14-year-old dog, who has a calm, gentle temperament and is friendly with other dogs. Their quiet nature helps create a relaxed environment for visiting pets. For walks, I use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and tailor each walk to your dog's age, personality, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys an active outing or a slower-paced stroll, they'll receive patient, reliable, and personalized care with their safety and well-being always coming first.

Lenore was an outstanding pet caregiver. It is obvious that her top priority is that pets well-being, comfort and joy are met in her care. Lenore asks important questions to get an overall understanding of your pets needs and interests ahead of time, and then goes above and beyond to meet those expectations. We loved the pictures and videos! I highly recommend Lenore as a pet sitter!

Nice updates throughout the day, which relieved my anxiety. Tanya’s gentle demeanor was very helpful with my dog. I think Jenna enjoyed her change of scenery and to be around Tanya.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bellingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bellingham on Rover is $37.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 210 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bellingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bellingham commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 210 sitters in Bellingham, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
