“Azure is absolutely amazing. Our kitties love her, and we feel safe with her caring for them while we are gone. Her updates, pictures, and all recommendations are excellent. We plan to hire her always in the future.”
“Cady is amazing. My cats were clearly well loved and super happy to have her around. She asked thoughtful questions and followed through on the answers. I got consistent regular updates showing my cats snuggling and playing. There was clear communication, and it gave me such peace of mind to know my fur babies were in good hands. Thanks Cady!!!”
“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!”
About: I have experience pet sitting animals with special needs such as administering prescription medication, following specific diet instructions, and following rules for the animals safety and comfort — Eample: Not petting a dogs backside due to pain or discomfort.— I handle all sizes, big and small. ⭐ I want to ensure my clients feel at ease knowing their pet(s) are safe and taken care of. 🌟 What to expect when you hire me... - I will send a minimum of 1 photo a day of your pet(s). - If your pet has any incident —Vomiting, house accident, fight, agression, abnormal behavior— you will be informed; transparancy is key to trust. Even the small things can matter. - I would like to have at least one meet with your pet(s) for 15 minutes; I want your pets (especially dogs) to understand I am friendly, safe and here to care for them. 💖 Some things I will ask before a vist, but not limited to: -Where are cleaning supplies in case of a house accident. -Does your pet try to run out the door? - Any prescription medications, or supplements? -Does your animal have stots he/she doesn't like to be touched? I'm currently a senoir in highschool doing online/hybrid learning. So I'll have plenty of flexibility in schedule. I have far too much free time and love pet sitting! 💖 I offer overnight stays in the homes of clients, I'd love opportunity to have real reason to be with your critters for hours on end. Having access to wifi during stay would be ideal so that I could do my virtual school work while pet sitting.
About: I’ve had my own pets my entire life. My first cat, I got when I was three years old and she lived until she was 26. I have years of experience in Montana as a pet sitter. I just moved to Bellingham! I am currently taking courses online to get my EMT, and can work from anywhere! My animals are extremely self-sufficient. Since my animals can be left alone for longer periods of time, I can be there for yours more! I am extremely attentive to animals. Constantly snuggling, giving scratches, taking them on walks. And I can keep to a strict feeding schedule! There will never be a lack of love!
“Michael took care of my two elderly cats for a week during Thanksgiving. I have nothing but praise for his services and care. He was very responsive with daily communication and photos, left my home and the pet areas very clean plus administered medications as prescribed. It was evident that Michael has had a lot of experience taking care of animals! I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.”
About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many types of animals and was always taught to treat each one like family 🩵 I started caring for others pets around 12 years old and have taken care of many species and breeds of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own (frogs currently🐸), co-ran a pet sitting business for multiple years where I was watching up to 13+ animals at some points, and am comfortable with every breed-from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it easy with a senior dog or sitting with them for an hour just to earn a little trust for anxious pups. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have the most availability saturday-Monday, but am available most weekday evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, sits or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood with a small yard, it’s directly across from whatcom falls park and I have lots of access to great trails and the river. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always put myself between them and harms way.
About: I've had animals my entire life - dogs, cats, and hamsters. I have also nannied for a lot of families with dogs and cats. I've done vet visits, administered medications, and regularly help care for my brother's aussie shepherd. I'm knowledgeable, responsible, friendly, and love animals. I have had my own cat, Domo, since 2009, and he's my best friend. I would love to have a dog too but I can’t right now, so I would love to spend time with yours! My brother manages a veterinarian office so I always have extra information and someone to reach out to. I look forward to spending time with your furry family members! I'm currently looking for work (I work in social services and mental health care) after moving back to Bellingham from Seattle. I miss my friends' pets! I have a 17 year old senior cat who loves his own space and unfortunately would not appreciate me bringing animals home to his space. I have had him since he was ten weeks old!
About: I’ve grown up around animals of every kind! My parents call me “the animal whisperer”! :) I have three dogs of my own, so I’m strong in the dog care department, and I’ve dog sat dogs of all types, sizes, and ages. And those with disabilities and special needs! I would love to meet and take care of your animals! :) I also have previous experience working at a doggy daycare in Lynden, WA called Rover Stay Over, so I’m your girl if you’re wanting an entertained and happy pup once I’m done with them! I currently live with a cat and am completely comfortable with them as well! I don’t have experience cat sitting them, but I’m confident in my abilities! :) I’m currently working part-time! So, I should be able to find time in my schedule for your pups. Typically on weekends I work 6-7 hour shift, I open and end around 2-3 (typically, not always), but I’ll of course let you know if there are any problems or interferences! I’m also a college student! Weekdays do work for me, I’m available evenings everyday and Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings! I typically start out by making sure the dog trusts me. Letting it sniff my hand, etc. But usually I have the go ahead once belly rubs are introduced. I love playing with dogs, so if you have any dog toys for them I love to go outside with them once I know they trust me and play a bit! Other than keeping the dog entertained with playing, I love some good puppy cuddles, so if your dog does too, I’m the girl for the job. A dog’s and the owner’s trust and comfortability is my top priority! So, I love to collaborate and talk with the owner before meeting the dog, just to know how to best approach the situation!
“Autumn went above and beyond to make our first experince away from our little guy as pleasant and easy as possible. She provided us pictures the whole time she was watching him and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended!”
About: Hi my name is Ella! I'm a college student and aspiring veterinarian with a passion for caring for animals, and hands-on experience working with animals of all kinds. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and no matter what that is, I am happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and taking care of larger animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I'm available to care for your pets any time, any day of the week throughout August and into late September! Whether you need a last-minute sitter or are planning ahead, I'd love to help. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine, and I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure you receive regular updates while you're away.
“Donna was wonderful. We received messages and pictures every day while away. Both of our cats were well cared for you could tell. Very reassuring when one is out of the country. We came home to a tidy home with even the guest bed washed and remade! Would definitely use her again when we travel.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
