“Strider had a great time with Erin and her pets and family. Erin did an excellent job updating me on his activities, and the photos showed him having a great time in lots of cool locations--playing, walking, getting along with other dogs, etc. Erin made the pick up and drop off very easy and stress free and I had no worries about his well being whatsoever. I think he probably misses all the activity and company now that he's back home with us! I would definitely book with Erin again.”
About: Hi there, My name is Ana, and I have been pet sitting for the past 7 years. I’m very comfortable with all pets and would love to care for your furry family member. I have a dog myself, and I know how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for my precious Link. I’m here to provide the same love and attention to others that I give to my own. I have over 7 years of experience pet sitting and references if needed. I’m about to start a part-time job, and I’ll have most of the afternoon and evening available to pet sitting, I’m very comfortable house sitting during holidays, I usually ask for at least 4 months booking in advance, just so I am able to manage my schedule to care for your pet during holidays. I have only been taking care of pets at client’s house. I usually follow what the client asks me. I love going on walks, and if I am allowed I like taking dogs on hikes and parks.
“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”
“Timber enjoyed his week with Kelsey. We appreciated the fenced yard and picture updates of Timber playing and having fun. Timber seemed calm and settled when we picked him up. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Amazing! Our Clyde had such a good time! Kinda funny as when I left him, he didn't even want to say goodbye to me. Instead just followed the children into the house to play. Perfect stay!”
About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up with dogs, a rabbit, and a guinea pig. As a professional pet sitter, I will give your pets my full attention and communicate clearly with you throughout. I know how scary it can be as a pet owner hiring a sitter, and I pride myself on being trustworthy and dependable! Most of my professional experience is as a nanny and working with individuals with disabilities, and I bring , empathy, and care to each of my roles. Outside of work, I love getting outside (and walking your pups!), crafting, and cooking! :) I currently nanny part time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with most shifts being about 6 hrs. Otherwise I am open for pet bookings at all other times! I am comfortable with harnesses, collars, and different leash styles, as well as crates. I am respectful of each home I work in, loving towards each pet, and will communicate with you throughout.
“THANK YOU LESLIE! My little golden doodle had the best time at your ranch, she came back with a huge smile and then immediately fell asleep in my lap after a long fun weekend. We appreciate you.”
“10/10!!! Emilia was incredible! Our pup got the best care, so many walks/hikes and all the cuddles he could have dreamed of. Her communication was amazing. We got multiple pics a day. I didn’t have to worry about him at all. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Shawn and family took such great care of Pertie. They were so patient and loving with her while she adjusted to a new place. Their dog Hazel and her got along great. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was so well looked after. Shawn gave us updates with pictures everyday and was quick to respond. We would absolutely leave her with Shawn again in the future.”
About: (My pets listed in my profile do not live with me at my address so if boarding with me your pets will be the only ones in my home.) I have taken care of a multitude of animals from a young age being entrusted with neighbors, family and friend's pets. My experience includes working with dogs (of all sizes and temperaments), cats, rodents, reptiles, goats, rabbits, chickens, horses and birds. I even took care of some wonderful peregrine falcons once. From a young age I worked in animal rehabilitation and have nursed infant animals and enjoy nothing more than being able to spend time and play with such wonderful creatures. I have also taken puppy training classes in the past and plan to have a future career with animals. Over the summer I work as a server and as such would likely be away for 3-4 hour periods usually in the evenings. However, I recognize the attention and care animal caretaking requires and will happily work with you to make sure your pet gets the love and attention needed while you are away. I am able to take 1-2 animals into my own home with a size constraint on larger pets due to my buildings regulations. I would like to note that I do live in an apartment complex however I am right next to walking and hiking paths. Additionally, I do live with a roommate who is also a huge animal lover. When house sitting, for pets of any size or kind I am always willing to come into your home and will treat such a space with the utmost respect.
“Michaela and her partner were great with our energetic 3-year-old dog. Took her on long hikes, sent photo updates, and returned her squeaky clean, happy, and safe. Would absolutely book her again for another vacation!”
“Cade took great care of Sprocket. He kept us updated with photos throughout the stay and made us feel at ease, providing lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and love. Sprocket came home happy and tired, and we would gladly use Cade's boarding services again.”
“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’m a big animal lover! I’ve had plenty of pet sitting jobs before and I’ve grown up in a house full of pets as well. I’m currently working full time but I will be transitioning into working part time soon in order to finish my BA online. So my availability will open up a lot more! I live in a pet friendly apartment, with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. We are just walking distance from parks and the waterfront for walking needs. Our house is quiet and we keep a tidy home, mainly because my partner and I like to clean all the time.
About: Previous groomer with over 7 years of professional experience with dogs and cats. Will happily love and care for any type of animal friend. Pets I board must be good with kids but drop in pets are ok either way. My best friend Gus crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2025 and while I’m not ready to find another friend yet, I’m ready to help people to ensure their besties are happy and healthy. Outside of boarding and walking, I can do nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, hair brushing and administer medicine if needed. I work full time and work remotely periodically. My schedule is pretty flexible so depending on your needs I can be available at a variety of times and days. I have a fully fenced yard and a doggy door. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of options for walking routes. I keep my home tidy so that pets won’t get into anything they shouldn’t.
“Sophia did a wonderful job of looking after my pup! Received solid updates while I was away, including great photos. This was my first time leaving my dog behind for a couple of days so I'm grateful I was able to find a great sitter. Thank you!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
Bellingham pet parents share their Rover experiences
I recently had the absolute pleasure of entrusting my beloved senior pet, Rooney, to the exceptional care of Shannon. As a devoted pet parent, Rooney is truly my heart, and finding someone who could provide the same level of love and attention was paramount. Shannon exceeded all expectations. Shannon’s caring, friendly, and sweet demeanor immediately put both Rooney and me at ease. Understanding that Rooney is temperamental around other dogs and thrives on a schedule-oriented routine, Shannon handled every detail with remarkable sensitivity and precision. Shannon’s excellent communication was a lifeline, especially for an anxious pet parent like myself, providing constant updates that reassured me Rooney was in the best hands. Shannon's ability to connect with Rooney, respecting his unique needs and providing companionship filled with genuine warmth, speaks volumes about her dedication and heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Shannon to anyone seeking a pet sitter who will love your pet as their own. Thank you, Shannon, for being such a wonderful part of Rooney's life!
Another great stay for my dog, Jaimie. Holly sent regular updates and pictures to keep me informed on how she was doing. Jaimie gets treated like a member of the family so I feel like she is in good hands when I go away. Thank you Holly for taking care of my sweet girl.
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!
Adrienne was communicative and transparent with some anxiety our dog was experiencing, and was flexibile and willing to go out of her way to accomodate her. She sent regular videos and pictures, letting us know our dog was happy and busy while we were out of town. Would recommend 100%!
Lindsey is truly a great find. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and human. She is kind thoughtful and incredibly passionate about animals and their care. She is studying to be a vet tech and holds a natural aptitude for being with animals. She combines her natural ability to connect with animals with her knowledge from Working in vet medicine and being around big and small animals through her lifetime. My cat has been with her 2 separate stays and both times he was so relaxed and content. Very grateful to have her watch my cat/ love of my life. She is loving gentle and knowledgeable about animals and I feel at ease knowing my cat is with her while I travel.
Verena was marvelous with our two energetic Shelties. They had a wonderful time, and we felt secure with them in her care. I love the photos and videos throughout their visit. Verena is great with dogs and goes out of her way to make them feel safe, relaxed, exercised and happy.
Tara was very knowledgable about special needs dogs, and was so communicative while we were away. She was attentive, sensitive to our dog's needs, and very kind. She sent us pictures of a happy and relaxed pup, which was so nice since it was our first time working together . We would absolutely trust her to take care of our dog again!
