“Arianna helped look after our cat, Wayne, for about a week on a pretty last minute request and we are so grateful! She did a great job, and was super communicative. We would definitely recommend her for petsitting!”
“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!”
“Lizz was very attentive and tailored her cat sitting to our cats’ needs, as opposed to a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Lizz was very helpful with handling other miscellaneous requests around our house - unrelated to cat sitting. Lizz is very personable and friendly, and we felt very comfortable leaving her with our fur babies and access to our home. We will definitely request Lizz in the future!”
“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”
“Paulina has been an excellent caretaker!! She has gone above and beyond every step of the way. She did not miss a single detail when it came to caring for our four pets, and by the end of the trip our dog and cats were very comfortable with her. She took nice pictures and kept us updated during our trip and at no time did we feel like we didn’t know how our pets were doing. We would definitely recommend Paulina to anyone and we look forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 17 as well as work experience at a dog kennel, so I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including reactive and aggressive dogs. I’ll do everything I can to make sure your pets are safe, comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. My schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I have no other bookings within a 30 minute window of the time slot you request I’ll be able to accommodate you and your pets! I’m also not planning on going home for the summer, so I will be available June-August. I will adhere to your pets normal routine and your rules as best I can, making sure they receive meals & activities at a consistent time. My priority will be your pets comfort & safety so you can relax while you’re away.
“Azure is absolutely amazing. Our kitties love her, and we feel safe with her caring for them while we are gone. Her updates, pictures, and all recommendations are excellent. We plan to hire her always in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and to this day, I'm the go-to pet sitter in my family. I have a small dog who’s 4 years old and is very friendly with other dogs, cats, kids, and more. I’ve had him since he was a puppy and personally potty trained him, so I have plenty of experience with puppies. While I haven’t personally cared for a senior dog yet I have lots of free time and am confident I can give any senior dog with the care he or she needs. I'm currently doing some online classes, and I'm unemployed because I'm new to the Bellingham area so I have a bunch of free time to spend with your dogs. I live in an apartment so | don't have a yard for your pup to play in but I'll take your dog on walks very often and I personally take my dog to the dog park very regularly and would love to take yours too if you'd like.
“Camille did a wonderful job pet sitting our two cats! The updates she sent showed the cats happy and engaged, even our shy gal. I would recommend her and use her services again!”
“Skylar was great with our elderly cat Lucky! Lucky usually hides from anyone who isn’t family, but she let Skylar take her picture and even accepted Nulo Treat from her. Skylar was flexible as our schedule changed a little and even helped us navigate the Rover app. I highly recommend her.”
“It’s been great having Maddy come by to give my two girls a pee-break, treats and some attention in the middle of my workday. She send great pictures and rundowns of her visit. I will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Emily is amazing! She took wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were away for over a week. They both remained happy and healthy because of her care. She is honest, trustworthy, and sent us pics daily of our babies which we found both comforting and hilarious. We definitely found our person for cat watching and dog sitting!”
“Madelyne went above and beyond taking care of my cat. She exceeded my expectations, as well as sent me daily text messages, videos, and pictures of my precious Julia. 10 out of 10 stars for sure. I highly recommend her if you want your pet more than well taken care of. ❤️❤️I’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have cared for cats/dogs/small animals for 15+ years. Love to give them attention and exercise and make them comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you are away. I mainly do housesitting as I work on my computer from home but can do drop in visits as well! My availability is wide currently as I work virtually and can accomodate varying needs. Comfortable staying in your home to give your pets care and attention. Unable to care for pets in my home currently because I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, but will gladly care for them in your home. We will discuss your pet(s) needs in advance and ensure they get the care they deserve.
“I had a great experience with Juliana! She stepped in on short notice and was incredibly communicative with setting up her checking in on my pup! She sent photos and went above and beyond to look after my dog! Highly recommend!”
“Gabrielle says she will "treat your pet like family." She certainly does! She gave our little dog plenty of attention and care, including just hanging out with her during the visits. We highly recommend Gabrielle as a pet sitter, and she also took care of some other chores and made sure our Gekko had water, etc.”

Jewel is truly exceptional. She goes above and beyond to care for your pets. She took excellent care of my two kitties including a very senior cat. She is thoughtful and clearly has very good intuition around animals. She cares not just for your pets, but also your home. Her communication is excellent and concise. I would highly recommend her to anyone without hesitation if you are looking for exceptional animal care.
Katarina was amazing with our sweet senior boy. She came to the house for outdoor time while we were away on vacation and was so gentle with him. I wish we were local, but anytime we’re in the area, she is absolutely who I will call. I’d trust her with Winston anytime. Highly recommend!
Skylar was great with our elderly cat Lucky! Lucky usually hides from anyone who isn’t family, but she let Skylar take her picture and even accepted Nulo Treat from her. Skylar was flexible as our schedule changed a little and even helped us navigate the Rover app. I highly recommend her.
This was my first time using Rover (or any pet sitter at all) and I am very happy with my experience. Meghan took wonderful care of my little old dog. It is a huge relief to be away and know my pets are cared for. Would use again, and would 100% recommend Meghan to anyone who needs sitter.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Pete and Cooper! From the moment we left for our vacation, we felt peace knowing they were in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. One thing Pete and Cooper absolutely loved was all the time she spent playing fetch with them. It was clear she took the time to give them not only great care but also plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We loved all the photos too!! will definitely hire Sophie again !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bellingham on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,028 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bellingham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bellingham. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
