About: Hi, I’m Alexys! I’m a registered nurse with a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I currently have three dogs—Envy, our Great Dane; Jasper, a red heeler/Great Pyrenees mix; and Hank, a chihuahua mix—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My experience with a variety of breeds allows me to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and care. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring sitter—or even a friendly playmate for your dog—I would love to help! My schedule is relatively open, I am flexible to find a way to help you and your pet! I am frequently walking my pets and happy to have your pet tag along with our pack! If your dog fits in well with our dogs I am happy to have them over for a play date during the day, we do not have a fenced yard.
“She gets along great with the cats, even our grumpy one Perry came out towards the end. She was prompt and understanding even when I botched the schedule. Will book again!”
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
