“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”

“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”

“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”

“Trinity did a great job of looking after our senior blind/diabetic dog. Kept us informed on how she was doing. She had no problems with her special feeding schedule and giving her the insulin injection.”

“Leslie provided an excellent boarding experience for our Frenchie, Kahi. My husband and I are always nervous to leave Kahi, but this time we felt more at ease knowing she was in great hands with Leslie. Leslie welcomed Kahi into her home and was knowledgable of what Kahi needed to feel safe and comfortable. She was diligent to provide daily updates and pictures. The pictures showed that Kahi was well-adjusted to Leslie’s home and having a great time playing and bonding with Leslie’s pups. We trusted Kahi was safe with Leslie which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Susan took wonderful care of our two pups. It was their first time being cared for outside our home, so we appreciated her daily pictures of their time with her. They came back home happy and healthy! Thanks, Susan!”

“Shannon was GREAT! She was kind, and great communication. Took great care of our dog. She sent so many pics and updates. You can tell she’s a huge dog lover, our dog was immediately attached to her. Will definitely ask her to watch our doggo again, thanks shannon 😀”
“I have to be honest, I was hesitant to leave my two best friends with a complete stranger. Addison didn’t feel like a stranger within 5 seconds of meeting him in person. Him and his family took such great care of my boys, and put my mind completely at ease while I was out of town for Christmas. Daily pictures and check-ins were sent to me unprompted, which I could not have been more appreciative of. Rover, I’m not sure if you read these reviews, but you have a gem in your hands with Addison. I will 100% be using Addison’s services in the future. Great guy, great family, and a great disposition around dogs.”


“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”

“My dog was so Happy, and she seems better behaved at the park, she plays with other dogs which she never did before. We are so happy, I feel like her anxiety is gone about other dogs. Chelsea is now our go to for a dog sitter. We are so happy with our dogs experience! Thank you Chelsea”


“She took great care of my Golden Retriever and sent daily photo updates. She also took my dog to the dog park and my dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Kendra was phenomenal with my our dog! We've used her services on another vacation about a year ago, and our dog definitely remembered! Clear communication with regular updates and photos. 10/10!”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have been a pet parent throughout adulthood. I have a deep love and affection for animals, and often look after the pets of family and friends as their trusted caretaker. I call myself a "whisperer" because I feel I've always known how to 'communicate' with domesticated animals and earn their trust. I'm an adjunct instructor at WWU with enough flexibility in my schedule to be available for pet care most of the time. As I considered alternative work for myself, I thought I should consider what I love to do, and pet sitting/dog walking feels like a great fit for me. I currently have a 2 year old female rescue dog who I'm 90% sure is a puggle, and 2 beautiful male cats. Traditionally I've owned boxers, but I love both big and small dogs of all kinds, puppies to seniors, as well as cats and most other pets (perhaps not insects...!). I'm reliable, friendly, patient, and love to walk, so frequent or long dog walks suit me fine. I have a flexible schedule and am available to look after your fur babies day and/or night, including day care, drop ins, boarding and house sitting. I have a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard in a safe neighborhood with parks and trails close by. I'm home much of the time so my pets get a lot of attention and care, are fed on schedule, and I'm up to date on all vaccinations. My home is clean, cozy and safe.
“I’m so happy to have found Kelsey. It was my first time boarding Momo so I was a little anxious. I knew she’d be in home hands once I dropped her off. Kelsey was calm, attentive and knowledgeable. He responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend Kelsey and would love to come back.”

“Michelle has been an exceptional sitter for our standard poodle. He enjoys daily park visits, swimming and lots of cuddles. It’s definitely a treat when our baby gets to stay with Michelle. Michelle is the kindest caretaker we have come across. She sends many pictures and videos to assure you that your baby is happy. We are return clients and happy for her services. She is reliable and flexible when emergencies arise. Thank you Michelle, you’re the BEST!!!”

About: I've had multiple dogs throughout my life and genuinely love spending time with them. These days, I have a dog of my own plus my partner's two dogs, (we all live here) so our house is always full of happy pups! My experience includes: • Experienced Rover doggy daycare provider • Experienced dog sitter outside of Rover • Raised in a hobby farm in WI • Caring for diabetic dogs that require strict feeding schedules and medication administration • Following detailed care instructions, dietary restrictions, and medication routines with great attention to detail My own dog has taught me a lot about allergies, sensitivities, and special care needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will take your pet's unique requirements seriously. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and are treated like part of the family. I work from home and have a large, fully fenced backyard with a high fence for added security. I also have a screened/mosquito-net door that allows me to keep the door open during the day while I work, giving the dogs easy access to fresh air and the yard while remaining safely enclosed. My desk has a full view of the backyard, so I can keep a close eye on everyone throughout the day. Of course, if you prefer that your dog not have access through the open screened door, I'm happy to keep the main door closed and follow whatever routine makes you most comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I'll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. -I work remotely Monday-Friday from 7-3:30 -I do tend to stay busy out of the house after 5pm for errands or a gym class a few times a week but no day is the same -Typically in the mountains one day out of the weekend I can be decently flexible during the week but I might NOT be the best fit if: -I can’t leave your dog at my house for 1.5 hours after work if I go to the gym or run an errand -If you need care past 8:00pm because that’s typically my bedtime… but I can be flexible. -Your dog doesn’t get along well with others …Otherwise, let’s do this! Other: -I live in the Roosevelt neighborhood in Bellingham -I will definitely send frequent updates and fun photos of your pet child while on pet duty -I am flexible so most things aren't a no but please reach out with questions about availability and I always do my best to respond ASAP House Fully fenced yard front and back 3 dogs live here My partner lives here too and we both are beyond careful with the dogs’ safety. We will love your dog like we love our 3 and yes, the gate is always secured :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I come from a family full of pet lovers and have lived with several animals in our house ever since I was little. I’ve raised and cared for both puppies and kittens to even taking care of senior pets and their need. I’ve pet-sat for friends, neighbors, and family ever since I was around 10 years old. I love animals and it is truly my passion to work with animals! I’m currently unemployed and on summer vacation from college so I have almost perfect availability and more than enough time to make your pets happy!☺️ I live in a pet friendly apartment, with a safe huge grass and forested area for pets to play and use the restroom. I am open to meeting any needs for a pet that their owners instruct. Anything from required feeding times, more frequent potty breaks and walks, and even giving medications to animals as well!
“Rachel and her husband are amazing, compassionate people. They took amazing care of Peanut, giving him lots of love and cuddles and helping him run his little heart out in their huge yard. They have an amazing doggy paradise! I got lots of adorable updates and Peanut and Winter got along great :) would 100000% leave Peanut with them 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!

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.
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%!

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!

Alexis and her partner provide an out-of-town daycare and boarding service for pups, providing pick-up and drop-off, which is really great if you have a busy schedule or kids, like I do. They proposed a trial daycare, showing that they vet dogs before agreeing to take them on for longer spans of time. It's important to them that the dogs get along and are well-behaved with each other, which helped me feel comfortable with boarding my little girl there while I'm on vacation. They were kind to my shy girl, getting her carefully acclimated to the other dogs and giving her time to adjust. They sent me regular photos and updates, showing me how she was doing. She has a hot spot, so they were good about monitoring that and keeping her in good condition. She came back, happy and tired and hot spot none for the worse--which was great! I'm confident she was in safe hands and had a good day socializing with other dogs!
