“Maddy was a fantastic house/cat sitter for our two cuties. Her communication is excellent, she carefully followed our sort of OTT directions for feeding and we returned home to happy kitties and a sparkling house. Thank you, Maddy!”

“We highly recommend Melia for her reliability and excellent care! She always does great with our 3 cats and dog who all have very different personalities. I’m an anxious pet parent but I didn’t have to worry at all during the week we were gone. Thanks Melia.”


About: I have been fascinated by animals all my life and deeply care for all of them. My family always had at least 1 dog at home and we would often have other animals such as fish, a chameleon, or a stick bug. I frequently helped care for other pets around the neighborhood when asked to do so and still enjoy stopping to say hi to many of them on walks. Most of my experience, however, comes from my work history. I have worked almost exclusively at various kennels since I was old enough to work at around 16. While the vast majority of the animals I cared for were dogs, I also got some experience with cats, birds, and even rabbits once or twice. Because of my prior work experience, I am very good at handling dogs of all kinds and don't get grossed out by messes. I am a college student at Western Washington University. So, starting on the 23rd I will be available after 11am M&F, after 1:30 T&Th, and after 5 on W. The Weekends I should be completely free unless I have plans. Within these available times I can show up as needed to care for your pet. For walks I will initially say hi and give your pup some pets as I gear them up for their stroll. As far as the walk itself goes, I will always let the dog go at their own pace and will generally try and be out for around an hour in your neighborhood unless I am requested not to. For walk-ins and house sitting I will begin by giving your doggo some cuddles before quickly letting them outside to go potty. Afterwards I will scan the house or crate for messes and clean any that may have surfaced. Following cleanup I will take them out to either play or go for a walk depending on owner preference and then feed them according to owner specifications (Feeding and exercise can be interchanged depending on timing and instruction). In this time I can also send updates to you about how everyone's doing! From there I will likely either sit with the pet for a little and leave if I am just checking in or try and do some school work or something if I am house sitting. I will make sure to follow all instructions and reach out for help if I have any questions. Thank you for trusting me with your pet(s)!

“Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our dogs! It was such a relief and peace of mind to know that they were in Sarah‘s excellent hands. It’s clear every time that she comes in the door to take care of them that they absolutely adore her. Nothing can make us happier! Thank you again.”

“It’s stressful turning over your house and fur babies to a complete stranger. I recently moved to the area and it was the first time I’ve booked with Sadira. I got back and all is well with house and animals.”

“Charlie was great! He took both dogs for long walks and sent photos. The house was in perfect condition when we got back. We would love to book Charlie again on our next trip away. Thank you Charlie!”


“Willow did a fantastic job staying in my home with my Ziggy. She had clear and quick communication. She left the house very tidy and Ziggy enjoyed his time with her. Thank you Willow!”

“Recently went on vacation and had the privilege of having Paulina available and booked for housesitting. She is wonderful with our pup and kitties. Paulina is also dependable and great at communicating updates and photos daily, which eased my mind. She showed our pets lots of love in our absence. I truly believe that our fur babies were in the best hands.”

About: I have always been a reliable pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it be an energetic puppy or a slower paced senior dog, I’m happy to spend time caring for our furry friends and keeping those tails wagging! Currently available during the weekdays. Happy to help make your family’s life easier with one less thing to worry about! I love being outdoors and going for walks in my free time, so including a pet is very easy to add into my schedule. I am very cautious in most aspects of life, but especially when it comes to caring for animals. I was always raised with the mentality of “safer is better than sorry” and I stick to it! I treat pets with the kindness, care, and love that they all deserve. I also believe highly in integrity. Coming to a client’s home is treated with respect and privacy. I’m happy to help with your dog walking/pet sitting needs to make your life easier!
“Azure was awesome: we had a thorough meet & greet, there were plenty of updates during her house sitting stay, and both our dogs and our house were well-cared for. 10/10 recommend!”

“Daryia is the sweetest person ever!! She was amazing with our sweet dog and took such good care of him. Our dog is older and has a few heath issues and Daryia put so much thought and care into making sure he was okay. I can’t recommend Daryia enough!!”

“Skyler is top notch. Right from the start, communication was great. Unfortunately my dog decided to be a big jack@$$. He acted up right as I was packing to leave but petting on my bed. He ended up nipping Skylar and being a grumpface, making her job more difficult. She handled it like a pro and even given the option to finish the stay, with minor adjustments she gladly continued. I very much appreciated her commitment. 5 stars from me!”

“Janette did a fantastic job house and pet sitting for us. She made sure to send pictures and updates multiple times a day. She treated our dogs very well, they were both very happy with her! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when needed.”


About: Hi, I'm so excited to meet your pet! What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on background in animal welfare. As a volunteer at PAWS and a former intern at Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, I have spent hundreds of hours working directly with a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. This professional training means I am deeply familiar with dog body language, safety protocols, and positive reinforcement techniques. I know how to read a dog's subtle cues to keep them feeling safe, calm, and happy. Because of my experience with rescue environments, I specialize in: -Building trust with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs -Managing high-energy or reactive pups with patience and composure -Strict safety and leash habits to ensure your dog is always secure Whether your pet needs an active walking buddy or a patient caregiver who respects their boundaries, I bring a calm, shelter-tested approach to every visit. I can't wait to give your pet the high-quality, attentive care they deserve! I’m currently a Freshman at WWU! I only have three classes so I have plenty of time to spare to take furry friends for walks! Because of my shelter and sanctuary background, safety is a habit for me. When I’m in your home, I practice a strict "double-barrier" rule so your pet never has a chance to slip out the front door, and I always check that harnesses and leashes are totally secure before heading out. My eyes are 100% on your dog during walks—no headphones or phone scrolling—so I can spot loose dogs or triggers ahead of time. I am completely comfortable giving medications on your exact schedule, whether it's pills, liquids, or topical treatments. I treat your space with total respect, meaning I'll always wipe muddy paws, wash out food bowls, and leave your house exactly how I found it, keeping you updated with honest notes and photos along the way.
“Jeff is awesome! My dog was clearly well looked after and he did a great job taking care of all her special needs. The house was well taken care of as well -- I will hopefully get to work with him again soon!”

“Angela came right on time and was in constant communication with me. She also went above and beyond and brought in some packages for us. We’ll definitely be using her again :)”

“Great dog and house sitter! I would absolutely have them over again! Very communicative and responsible. Left our place very tidy. Pepper got lots of attention and exercise.”

I could not have made a more perfect choice of having Madison house sit for my senior Chihuahua. She was so very thorough with getting acquainted with my challenging pup, spending all the time necessary to achieve a great relationship with her during the meet and greet. She is, by nature, such a loving and sweet young woman, with advanced skills in caring for Senior pups who need regular medications and calming. I was able to leave for my daughter‘s wedding across the country without any concern about my sweet dog being lovingly and dutifully cared for. She sent me a photo and a brief update every day I was gone, which I loved. I’m so grateful to Rover, which allowed me to meet Madison. Do not hesitate to call on her to care for your pets.

Melia is great! She looked after my 10 year old husky littermates 4 days a week for 3 weeks in a row while I was starting a new job an hour and a half away. My male husky requires a nightly pill and can have some nighttime anxiety. Melia was great with him. I requested daily updates and photos and Melia was very good about sending them. She also put up with the various states of moving chaos as I was packing everything up to move! If I still lived in Bellingham I would definitely book Melia again, we miss her!
Five Stars! Keely is a fantastic pet sitter! She stayed in our home for two weeks and did a fantastic job looking after our two cats. When we returned, the house was in immaculate shape and our cats were both very happy. She regularly provided us with photos and updates of our kitties. We felt very grateful to have her looking after them on our trip.

I love having Oak as a sitter! The pets always seem so happy and the house is left clean. I love not having to be so stressed about leaving the pets with someone new. When crises pop up (like, during the last time they sat, one of my ancient hens passed away and one of the dogs killed and tried to eat a wild bird… ), Oak keeps me informed and handles it well. They are building a wonderful friendship with my pets and we can see that the kitties are really learning that they can trust them. 5/5 stars.

This was our first time to work with Kieran, who took great care of our two dogs and home while we were away. It is always difficult to find someone we trust with our 200lb Irish Wolfhound with health issues. Kieran is exceedingly pleasant, professional, and reliable and communicates well. She has the experience and disposition to manage our somewhat challenging situation. She clearly loves the animals and it took no time for our pups to bond with her. We will definitely use her in the future.

Sky is fantastic with our 3 pups and cat. Each have their own quirks, ranging from allergies, meds, to shyness and Sky was so great managing all of their needs. We really appreciate her patience and care she took with our babies so we are able to travel. Our home was clean and very well taken care of as well, highly recommend booking with her!

Madison stayed in our home and cared for our two dogs while we were away for five days. She even stopped by during her lunch break to let them out after our early departure on the first day. She was incredibly responsive, sent us daily photos of the dogs enjoying their walks, and left our home clean and tidy. She also helped bring in several large packages delivered while we were gone, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend Madison!

Katarina went out of her way to arrange a meet and greet (even though we live far away), and she went above and beyond to meet our unique needs. She was able to adjust when our pups had issues and she proactively communicated any concerns or questions she had.
