“Took wonderful care of my kitty! I felt comfortable with them giving mojo his daily medication because of their vet experience, and it seemed to go well. Mojo seemed happy and cared for, and the daily “rover cards” were detailed :)”

“Liz is fantastic. She did a great job taking care of my 2 boys (cats). I love how accommodating she was when I had to keep changing the original dates I had originally booked. Thank you, Liz!”

“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: Growing up I always had a dog around the house that I took care of and I still dog sit from time to time for friends. I have experience administering medicine to dogs and feel comfortable handling larger dogs during walks. As for older dogs I have lots of patience when it comes to helping them get around the house, make sure they eat their food, or simply get outside for a short walk. Being a runner I have extensive knowledge of the trails around Bellingham and will find the best smells for your dogs during their walks. Currently I'm part time as a personal trainer and typically have hour long gaps during the day between sessions. Being an early riser I can check on pets early in the mornings as well as mid day and at night. When caring for pets at a client's home my first priority when I walk in is to greet their dogs and show them how excited I am to see them. When playing with dogs I always pick up toys after play time and dry up any water splashed out of the dog bowl. Before leaving I like to take the dog out one more time even if they have already gone to the bathroom to ensure no accidents in the house occur between my visits.
“adrianna was so communicative and kind! my shyer kitty seemed to warm up to her very quickly. i appreciated the thorough updates and pictures. when we encountered a travel nightmare on our way home and had to extend our absence, she was very helpful and supportive.”

About: I come from a family of pet lovers, so I am a dedicated pet caregiver with extensive experience in dog walking and pet sitting. From chickens, kittens, parrots, hamsters to cats & dogs, I have the experience you will need to care for your pet. I prioritize the well-being of every furry friend, providing personalized care, engaging activities, and plenty of love. Committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and healthy while their owners are away. I am currently a part-time college student taking classes online. When pet sitting, your pet is my absolute top priority! I have a very active life and enjoy taking care of high-energy animals but also ones that just love to cuddle or simply prefer independence. I do everything I can to make sure that they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and taken care of to the best of my ability. I ensure a safe, pet-proof environment (yes, I will be sure to keep any food out-of-reach 😉), maintain a consistent routine for feeding and walks, and provide personalized attention and enrichment. I monitor their health and behavior, offering plenty of love and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. Your pet always comes first!
About: There’s nothing I’ve ever found myself to be more passionate about than animals. I myself have had cats and dogs all my life, and axolotl, and even a bird. I recently left the veterinary medicine field where I was a technician for 10 years. I gave up vet med to be a nanny but am missing my furry friends! I currently am a nanny for an infant. My schedule can vary, but am always available after 5pm everyday and flexible on weekends. I usually have one day off during the week. I am capable of just about anything. Feedings, medication administration, walks, playtime in the yard. I can provide minimal care as well as more extensive care if needed.
About: Hello! I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and my family got our first pup. I was responsibly for daily walks, grooming, and feeding. I also have over 8 years of experience volunteering at animal shelters and 2 years of experience working at a veterinary hospital. Now I live in a small apartment and travel often, I'm unable to have a dog of my own and am looking to fill up my much needed dog time by caring for others pets. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I will give your dog the love and attention it deserves, an will comply with any special instructions you have for me. I'm physically fit and love running, so I can even take your dog for runs if you'd like! Feel free to ask me any questions you have, and I can't wait to meet your pup! I am not currently working, so I have lots of time to give your pup or cat all the attention and love that they need. I am highly responsible and have been trusted to complete in-house sits. I keep my home clean and tidy, so you can expect me to treat your home with the same respect!
“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”

“Patricia did a wonderful job with my senior cat. Jade requires a pill a day and barely tolerates me doing it. Patricia handled that and made her a special breakfast, freshened her water, and cleared the box during her visit. Made it a lot easier for me to go on a last minute work trip.”

About: I've been caring for family's pets for extended periods of time alone often, and recently took care of two cats over all of last summer. I will treat any pet as if it was my own, with all the love in the world. I'm a WWU student in Bellingham most of the year. Often my weekends end up being free, so I hope to use that time seeing some adorable creatures for my own relaxation. I'll endeavor to make sure any pet under my watch stays as safe and as happy as possible, strictly following any instructions from the owner.
“Natalie is the best dog walker my pup and I have had on a consistent weekly basis on rover. I work long hours out of town and she has always been able to keep my dog happy on short notice (bad habit on my part). Definitely recommend her.”

Jewel is absolutely amazing. She is incredibly communicative, reliable, and truly great with our dogs. We have three dogs who are not easy, and she handled them with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely, which is not something we say lightly. She also jumped in to help us last minute, which we were so grateful for. We couldn’t recommend Jewel enough!

Katie was fabulous and flexible :) My home’s holiday plans shifted LAST minute and she was able to swing by, meet me and the kitties, and get the low down on their care. My kitties are pretty easy but she made sure to send lots of photos and update me as she came to do the drop-ins. Thank you again Katie!

Harmony has watched my cat 3 times now! She is attentive and sweet to him, and is so kind over messaging even when I give her walls of text instructions! My cat requires medication and a very specific kind of feeding routine/ litter box care, and Harmony does it all no problem <3 I trust her with my little guy!

Rebekah was fantastic with our senior cat, Mojo! She was very responsive in setting things up initially and she wrote detailed updates accompanied by lots of pictures for every visit. Based on all our interactions in person and via Rover, I felt fully confident that Mojo was in good hands. We would definitely have her look after Mojo again!

Sophia & The Rover service were all amazing. First time users and will be returning (to hopefully book Sophia) on our next out of town get away. Sophia had a connection with our cats that was immediate and left us with no worries while we were gone. Well taken care of with tons of pics which is one of the best features of this service. I can’t give a higher recommendation than to book Sophia through Rover to take care of your animals while you are away.
