“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!”

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!
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, and as such I think I have a unique set of skills and experiences that make me more than qualified to watch over your animals! I have had horses, goats, alpacas, bunnies, cats, and dogs in backyard my whole life, and I have experience housing sitting all types of dogs, cats, and even the occasional bird. Caring for animals has been apart of my life since before I could even walk and because of this I feel confident in my ability to maneuver any situation involving animals and make sure they stay happy and healthy while in my care. I am a student at WWU and have a pretty busy schedule during the week but weekends are always free, and I could open something up during the week if needed, as long as it’s in the afternoon. I have experience with anti social and reactive dogs as well as super friendly and cuddly dogs, and I understand that each dog has their quirks and needs to be taken care of in a specific way. I can promise that I will always put consideration in my care for your animals based on their personality and comfort levels. I also understand completely how hard it can be to entrust someone else to take care of your animals, so expect lots of updates and photos from me to keep you in the loop of all their shenanigans!

“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!”

“Angela knows what she is doing! We have two english bulldogs that are very... extra... and are very much our fur children. Not only did she take awesome care of them, but she somehow managed to keep our house clean too! :) Angela goes above and beyond, and we look forward to having her stay with our bullies in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was young, from my own, to watching others. Ive previously had friends and family who I would regularly dogsit for. My previous roommate had a puppy who is now three! He’s my little baby, I was one of his moms until he was about 2 1/2! With that said I helped all throughout the puppy stage and miss it every day! I also have experience with the reactive pets as my childhood dog was a rescue with an aversion to new people. I do currently have a full time job, but with a quiet life style. I work from 7-3 Fri/Sat, and 8-4 Sun-Tues. I am available anytime after my shifts! I’m available for boarding on my weekends, Wednesday and Thursday. I live downtown with easy access to long walks and can be crated if needed! I have plenty of time outside of work for cuddles and/or adventures for your baby!
“Charlie was great! He’s a repeat. We have two dogs that are hard to deal with because of their past but Charlie managed to win them over and even get one of them for a walk. I would strongly recommend him!”
“We loved having Cassidy watch our two dogs! Our pups have specific dietary/feeding needs and our pitbull has some anxiety and Cassidy handled their needs with great care. It was smooth communication and we received lots of great updates about how they were doing. We highly recommend Cassidy for your dog sitting needs, and we will definitely be using her again. :)”

About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life, and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of varying difficulty levels. I can handle dogs of any size and energy level, having grown up with a very high strung Vizsla and a small rescue. I am gentle, caring and will always do my best to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible. I am currently a student at Western Washington University, so i will have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to ensure that your pet gets the utmost care. While I don’t have space at home to crate or board your pet, I am happy to take them on walks in the many beautiful parks and forests around Bellingham, or play with them in their home yard or house. I am also always happy to sit and snuggle with your pet to comfort them while you are away.

“Phillip was a Godsend when my husband and I both had to unexpectedly leave town for several days. We feel lucky that Phillip was available and willing to accept the assignment....despite knowing that we (the dog parents) are very particular and our dog has some "special needs." We appreciated Phillip's reports about Sato and the photos from their outings. When I returned it was clear that Sato had really bonded with Phillip. That was heartwarming! The house was neat and clean too. Always a real bonus when a housesitter is new to the place. Even the most picky pet owner will be happy with Phillip's services!”

“I would recommend Meagan to anyone looking for someone who is a great communicator and genuinely cares about your pets! She was reliable, kind, and sent very cute and reassuring photos and videos. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Kathryn was fantastic! She watched our dog, Oakley, for 4 days and treated our home with total respect. Our dog immediately warmed up to Kathryn at our meet and greet and was very excited to see her when she arrived to start her sitting. She showed up on time, was great at communicating, and provided daily pics (which we really appreciated). We highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. We would certainly book with her again.”


About: I have a dog at home as well as two cats. I’ve grown up with many animals in addition to those. I have walked dogs for people in my neighborhood for years on a off. I am a student so would be able to be with animals before and after class. I may also go to the gym in the evening after dinner! I have a house I can bring them to or play in your home! I am comfortable driving anywhere anytime to help you out! I do not have any pets in my current home.
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.
About: I've been around animals since I was 2, they've always loved me and the feelings mutual! Since then I've fed, groomed, walked, trained and simply chilled with both cats and dogs of all ages. I am currently a full time student whilst looking for a part-time job, yet I still have time left to care for your animals! Drop in visits only, anytime past 3pm, everyday except Fridays. I may be willing to discuss boarding! Unfortunately, I can't bring animals into my dormitory, so I'll need to get familiar with your home and your pet's behavior! We'll go on walks, play inside, train a lil bit or any additional notes/request from you- the parents!

Madison is fantastic with all our pets! She even gets Andy to eat, which he only does around people he is very comfortable with. She is responsible and respectful and always sends pictures so we know everyone is having a good time. I appreciate that our pets are in good hands when Madison is watching them!

Lizz was an absolute dream dog sitter for Mr. Furlock Bones while we were away on our slow travel adventure! Leaving your dog behind during extended travel can be nerve-wracking, but Lizz immediately put our minds at ease with her warm, positive energy and genuine kindness. Mr. Furlock Bones was thoroughly spoiled, deeply loved, and cared for as if he were her own. He clearly had the best time, and getting regular updates showing him happy, relaxed, and doted on made our travels completely stress-free. Lizz is reliable, communicative, and truly one of the sweetest people you’ll meet. We cannot recommend her highly enough, five stars aren't enough! Mr. Furlock Bones is already looking forward to his next stay with her.

Sophia did such an incredible job of taking care of Tala and our home while we were in Europe for 2 weeks. It is clear that Tala adores her and feels very safe and comfortable with her. In many of the daily photos Sophia sent us, Tala was snuggled up with her and very happy! We’re so lucky to have found Sophia and are happy repeat clients! I will definitely be using Sophia again!

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.
