“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”
“Kayla did a great job with our anxious dog. She came by for a drop-in visit, took her out in the backyard, gave her the treats we left, and set up dinner. Kayla was very communicative throughout and sent pictures, which we really appreciated given how anxious our pup can get with new people. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“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!”
About: I have recently moved from Nashville to Bellingham area. I have fostered over 60 dogs with Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue. I have dealt with multiple breeds as well as puppies and especially seniors with medical issues. I currently have a foster pug so I can house sit if I can bring her along or drop in. Your pups can also stay at my house. I work remotely so I can house sit, pet sit at anytime as long as I'm not going to be out of town or already booked. I will follow closely the directions given by the client. I have had dogs and I have competed internationally in horse competitions. I understand how people are particular about their pets.
About: I grew up with 3 family dogs and have had a variety of pets throughout the years: fish, tadpoles, rats, gerbils, dogs, and insects. I have pet sit for cats and chickens for my neighbors from the time I was around 8 until I went to college at 18. I have also volunteered at humane societies caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I have experience training puppies, walking dogs and cats, and feeding and caring for a variety of animals. I have a very flexible schedule! I go on lots of walks and hikes and swimming trips that I would love to have a dog accompany me on. I am also available to house sit or stop by to feed animals. I will have a car that I can take animals in as well. Pets, especially dogs, are able to communicate their needs, and I plan on listening to them. If I am taking care of a pet in a client's home, that is also the dog's home and I will listen to what the dog 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
About: I've been dog sitting and cat sitting from a young age, I have taken care of family pets, pets of friends, and all those in between. I've never lived without pets. I have always had a genuine love and compassion for animals, and have unconditional love for them. I graduated from the NCTA Veterinary Technician program in Junior year of High School. Currently unemployed. Even when busy, I always have time to stop by and take care of pets. I am usually available for long periods of time. I will respect your pet's personal space if they are more of an anxious pet, I had a very anxious pup growing up so I know what it is like. I will give your pet lots of love and company, and follow whatever schedule you use to feed them or administer medication. I am happy to do extra for any pet.
About: I have a natural passion for all creatures great and small! I have experience with pet care from cats and dogs to fish and reptiles. I also have experience with reactive dogs and also with administering medication to pets who need them. Rover is my only gig currently so I am able to devote as little or as much time as you need for you to feel comfortable and secure about your pets care in your absence! I take great care in not just looking after your pets while you’re away but also looking after your home. I will bring in packages and make sure your home is fully locked and secure before leaving!
“Madison was very conscientious and thorough, she always let me know when she was dropping in and how my cat was doing. She’s very personable, down to earth, and trustworthy. We look forward to working with her again.”
“Aline does a tremendous job caring for our cat, who has more needs than most. Communication is always great and she is always very flexible. We are always happy to have Aline care for our cat!”
About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a little kid, ranging from mini Australian shepherds to retrievers, labs and German shepherds. This means I have experience training young puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience with taking dogs on runs (since I love to run), which helps with high-energy dogs. I love dogs and am more than happy to help other people with pet care since I know finding the right person for the job can be difficult. :) I’m a teacher so this summer I’m earning some extra cash by nannying and dogsitting. I’m available 4-5 days a week including the weekends (and have no problem helping in the early mornings and late nights), so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m very willing to fit multiple in-house visits and dog walking/running into my routine. I care for pets in my clients’ homes so I am skilled in giving all pets the attention they need both inside and outside the home, including playing with them, taking them on walks and runs, or just sitting down and keeping them company depending on the age and needs they require. I take pride in fulfilling all pets’ routines and owners’ expectations.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, from growing up with horses and dogs to caring for aquatic animals in my career. I have experience housesitting for friends and family, as well as giving my own animals loads of love and attention. I understand the specific care that comes with each pet and their unique personalities. I am also comfortable working with pets in any condition, with experience working with seniors, injured animals, and those with health conditions, such as epilepsy. I currently work fulltime M-F, but often work from home and love to incorporate pet visits/walks on my breaks! I am also available for house sitting over most weekends, and during the week depending on the needs of your pets. It’s important that you and your pets feel comfortable with a new person in their space, so I try to make their routine as normal as possible, whatever that may be. I am respectful of your space and want to provide a stress-free time for you and your pets while you’re away.
“Erin was a savior when someone else didn’t show up to take care of our girl! I couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to spend some time with her. She’s trustworthy and very responsive! A millliiiooon stars for her!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and genuinely love being around animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, especially when you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, following routines, and giving lots of attention. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. 🐾 I have a rotating work schedule, but I know my availability in advance and will only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On my available days, I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications or special routines, and I’ll respect your home while I’m there. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. One is a feral rescue and the other is elderly (and they don’t like each other), so not the easiest duo… but they were in good hands!”
About: I’m a former vet tech with 12 years of pet and house sitting experience. I’m reliable, caring, and comfortable with meds, seniors, and pets needing extra attention. I currently work part-time/remotely so I can be around as much as needed for your pets. My schedule is currently open for any overnights and weekends. When pets are in my care, I’m very attentive to their comfort and well-being. Depending on their needs, we’ll enjoy walks, cuddles, or quiet time. I’m there to cater to them fully and make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Samish. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Samish. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
