About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
“Sophia was very attentive to the needs of my anxious and senior pups. She is great with communication, in time visits and sharing updates with photos. I highly recommend Sophia. Your pets will be in great hands!”
“I really appreciated Ryan taking the time to meet our dogs before our first drop in visit. We came home to 2 very happy and settled dogs who didn’t seem to notice that we had been gone for 11 hours. Would definitely use them again when we have to be gone for extended periods of time. Now Ryan knows the dogs love of playing fetch, they might up the ante next time! Thank you again.”
About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs: big, small, shy or rambunctious! I currently work at a dog boarding facility, and also volunteer at the humane society. I also have a family dog who is now a senior I currently am working morning shifts but am available most days after 2pm! I am also completely free on thursdays and Fridays. I am not opposed to early or late night walks or potty breaks I live an apartment and would not be able to board another pet in my home, but would be more than happy to watch your pet in theirs!
“Marion was so attentive with our two pups! Her help allowed us to escape to North Cascades for the day and we were so happy knowing they were well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for dog sitting!”
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.
About: Experience with reactive dogs, large dogs, and dogs working on training programs. Positive reinforcement and prioritizing the comfort of the dogs in my care is a MUST. My schedule allows for ample flexibility to meet your needs! Early morning feedings are never a problem for this early riser, and frequent potty break needs are never a worry! I have a service dog who typically accompanies me in all that I do and he loves to play with new friends, though I do have some capacity to leave him in the event of reactive pups on my schedule! I also have a fenced yard if your dog needs space to run in a safe and controlled environment.
“Kami dropped by to walk our pups while we were away for the day, and they loved their time with her! She sent updates and photos, and the dogs were very well taken care of. Thank you, Kami!”
About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now
“Michael was fantastic with our pups! One of our pups is a nervous little old lady and Michael was great at meeting the individual needs of both dogs! The check in pictures were appreciated and very reassuring! We’ll definitely book services with Michael for our next trip!”
“Autumn fed & walked our pup while we were skiing. Really liked all the photos she sent during her time with Bodhi, and that she met with me the day before to go over everything since this was our first time hiring Autumn. Bodhi really liked Autumn—she even left him a toy and a treat! We look forward to having her sit for Bodhi again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for neighbors, friends, coworkers and everyone in between for about 6 years now. From rats, dogs, cats, reptiles, I’ve done it all to make sure everyone’s favorite animals are safe and happy. Though I work full-time, I’m work from home. There will be days I have to travel out of town, but for the most part I’ll be home. Anytime after 1-2pm I’m completely free for pet care. At home, I have a very sweet dog that roams around the house and two curious cats that generally keep to themselves unless they’re hungry. There’s a baby gate up that just keeps the older cat away from eating the younger one’s food.
“Yvonne was great! She sent a ton of pictures and let me know how each kitty was doing everyday we were gone! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again for future trips.”
About: I'm in college, studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I've had many types of animals and I've been caring for animals as a way to make money for several years- predominantly dogs. I am free on weekends. I'm usually free on Wednesday and Monday. I'm available at 1pm on Tuesdays, and I'm available on Fridays and Thursdays after 4pm. My cat is indoors, and I make a great deal of effort to keep her that way (she tries to escape a lot). I make sure to keep her happy and entertained, just as I do with my client's pets. When I am in a client's home I ensure adequate care and their animal's safety.
About: I’ve have tons of experience, patience, and love. I've always had pets to care for and think they are a part of the family! I currently have one fur baby, a dog named Lily. I work from home and make my own schedule, so your pet wouldn't be left alone. I walk, run, or hike everyday. Your pampered pup would gets lots of exercise and attention! As well as a new fur friend in my dog Lily. I will make sure your pet is getting the care that it needs with food, water, cuddles, medicine, and exercise. I'm happy to provide update pictures, while you're away.
About: Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well. So please, go on your next vacation with your mind at ease, knowing your pets are well cared for and are on a vacation of their very own at our beautiful farm in northern Bellingham, complete with acerage, rolling fields and plenty of room to run and play. Wishing you a beautiful day!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 393 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northwood. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 90% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
