About: Over the years I have dog sat, walked dogs for people with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes. I have always taken pride in my care for my dogs and of course others as well. I currently don’t have a dog of my own as I am new to Bellingham, but I have a lot of experience with senior dogs as my first dog a 100lb malamute lived to be 16. I love big dogs, high energy dogs, small dogs. I am confident in my ability to handle all breeds energy and size! I work 4/ 10’s Monday through Thursday. Looking to fill my 3 day weekends with dog care! I will be available for dog sitting and dog walking every week Friday through Sunday. I like to get outside and walk and be active with my free time I live in a pet friendly condo with a large grassed dog friendly area and walking path behind the property. We have a fenced in balcony porch that the dog would have access to. Dogs would be allowed on furniture and bed. Care in clients home as well as mine will be followed as instructed to the T of owners request! Following precise owner instructions is vital when caring for others dogs.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were treated with love and attention the entire time. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. It made being away so much easier. We will absolutely be booking again with Danielle”
“Bershka and Lionel are seriously the absolute best people to watch your furry friends! They love our cat almost as much as we do and we never have to worry when our cat is with them. Another successful visit on the books! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I’ve walked a lot of my neighbors dogs for money. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats overnight, and I’ve helped train my neighbors dogs. I work part time and have a workout schedule so I take them out early in the morning, late in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before bed. Longer walks are always in the morning and at night and shorter ones are more frequent during the day. I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends, and pets are always supervised and treated like family. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of walks, exercise and attention. For house sitting and drop in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and lots of affection. I live with my grandma in a calm, pet friendly home and am committed to keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away.
About: I have over 5 years of experience with both pet care and child care. I have a Bachelors degree from Western Washington University, and I have worked at a local elementary school for the past 3 years. I’ve taken care of animals almost my entire life, I've even assisted in rescuing an owl! I’ve been trusted by several family members and friends to watch over their babies, whether it’s staying with them overnight or just being there to have someone to cuddle with for an hour or two. You can trust that I will care for your pet as if they are my own. Pet care is my sole focus currently- so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available both weekends and weekdays, I'm a morning person as well, so I don't mind an early morning with a pet. It is imperative that your animals feel safe and comfortable around me, so I will meet them where they're at. I don't force connections, and I will always make sure that they know I am a safe human to be around. Routines and schedules are important, as well as being able to read an animals cues and understand what they need in that moment. I can provide that for your pet.
“Autumn went above and beyond to make our first experince away from our little guy as pleasant and easy as possible. She provided us pictures the whole time she was watching him and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended!”
About: I have always had dogs! We live in the Silver Beach neighborhood and have recently lost our sweet little poodle and now that our children are grown and gone, I feel I can provide a safe, reliable, and fun space for dog parents who need a sitter. I am a homemaker who enjoys, hiking, and biking and being in the outdoors. I travel to see our son who is in college at UNC but for the most part am here in Bellingham and available for dog sitting. I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with lots of trails near my house for off leash or if it’s more important, leashed walks. Also, I love doggie cuddles.
“Sherlock loves going to stay with Tami! He gets tons of attention and care, not only from Tami, but from her girls. And he gets to frolic in the backyard. He’s an elderly dog and gets lonely, so I’m relieved to know he can stay with a family that makes him feel loved when I have to go out of town! I also get detailed updates and plenty of photos every day. So glad we found Tami on Rover!”
“Daniel was perfect-- clearly loves animals, has a great space for caring for them in his home and fenced in yard, and was a great communicator, and seems to be a kind human being! I highly recommend him. Aniol, our lively 19 month pup had a blast, and we hope to have him return at some point!”
“Our dog had a great time during her 5-day stay with Erin & her family. Erin took her on daily outings - either to the dog park or on hikes. Those activities - & being able to play with Erin’s dogs kept her busy & also kept her usual anxiousness to a minimum. Erin sent photos & videos each day so we always knew what they’d been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin & we’ll have our dog stay with Erin again!”
“Karrin loves my dog and you can't ask for more than that. She always sends humorus pictures. My arrival back got changed and Karrin was very open to accomadating us. I prefer leaving cash tips”
“Sadly for every other dog she cares for, they will be fight for 2nd place because Emilia absolutely loves my golden Gus. In 3 days she sent me 25 pics/videos of the fun they were having. She was sad when I picked up early. I'm sure she'll take amazing care of your dog also. (even though Gus is her fav)”
“Sara was kind and so accepting of my crazy puppy! She send pictures and updates of how Greta was doing during her stay and even gave me a baggy full of homemade doggy treats for her! She was reliable and quick to respond to texts. I highly recommend Sara!”
“My French bull dog has such a good time with Shawn's Beagle. He gets lots of exercise and love. Shawn also keeps me updated with pictures and messages so I can see how my dog is doing.”
“Alexis’s care was wonderful! My pups were happy and received the exercise with other dogs that they deserved and needed. I will definitely use them again! Thank you for the loving care of my clan. Patty”

We recently moved to the area and needed a local sitter we could trust, especially because my cat needs heart medication exactly every 12 hours. Autumn has been our saving grace, with clear, prompt communication, updates, reliability, and loving care for our pets. Now we can go away without worry. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic and reliable sitter for both dogs and cats.
Thank you for everything once again. Maggie comes home happy healthy and with a clean fluffy ball! That was adorable. Lenore is the absolute best. Her communication is fantastic. I always appreciate the pictures she sends and she will always be our first pick for Maggie Care.
Holly was amazing with our Dozer, a bernedoodle. We got many pictures while on our overnight trip. Dozer is a cuddler and she provided lots of cuddle time. I would highly recommend Holly. I especially appreciated her safely fenced back yard. Looking forward to Dozer spending time with Holly again.
Arilynn gave our dog Ollie an absolutely amazing week! Every day they were going on Ollie’s favorite adventures including swimming, hiking, and the dog park. Arilynn kept us well updated sending us adorable photos every day. Best Rover that we have had - we would love to use her again. Thank you!
Natalie was a great caregiver for my cattle dog, who she agreed to care for with just a week’s notice, after I had to cancel a boarding reservation due to my dog unexpectedly getting a cough. She sent picture updates and was a responsive communicator and attentive, thoughtful host for Josie. Thank you Natalie!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bellingham on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 260 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bellingham. About 92% of Bellingham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
