“Paulina is fantastic!!! She watched our chickens who are high maintenance gals and she took amazing care of them! She was also able to help water our garden which is so much appreciated. She also cared with our cat Frida who very much enjoyed her company! Thanks Paulina!”
“Camille is one of the only pet sitters I've found who can consistently get my cat to play and be comfortable while she is pet sitting. She always considers my cat's feelings and doesn't try to force anything. She always supplies great photos, and she is willing to do extra things like a video call when I start to miss my cat. Camille is definitely one of my favorite pet sitters, and you'll be glad you booked with her.”
“Emily was wonderful. She provided reassurance (my first time away from the fur babies since moving across the country 3 months ago), took plenty of photos and provided updates of her daily visits. Doggies liked her also, and told me all about their great experience when I returned from business travel.”

“Braelyn was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she take care of my two cats in the way that I asked, but she went above and beyond to get to know each cat and what they like. Each visit, she catered to their likes and dislikes to make sure they were happy and got some meaningful enrichment and interaction. I highly recommend Braelyn and will be using her services for my future pet sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellingham
Morgan was punctual and communicative. Took great care of my 12 week old puppy during a drop-in visit. We met beforehand to make a plan and she made my wife and I feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care as this was our first time using Rover. Went the extra mile to make sure our other pet was secure and that the house was locked and lights were on.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bellingham on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,022 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
