Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bellingham
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“Alexis is AMAZING! She responded immediately to all my questions, is well organized, and has a perfect, nurturing environment for pups. She sent videos and pictures daily, and my dog came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend Alexis!”
“Daniel was perfect-- clearly loves animals, has a great space for caring for them in his home and fenced in yard, and was a great communicator, and seems to be a kind human being! I highly recommend him. Aniol, our lively 19 month pup had a blast, and we hope to have him return at some point!”
“Lenore took great care of my dog. Scout and her dog, Rook, seemed to get along and it was great to know that she was staying in a “dog friendly house.” It can be hard to leave your dog behind with a stranger, but I felt confident that she would be well cared for.”
“Susan is absolutely wonderful! She was a true lifesaver for me and my special pup. A crazy travel emergency kept me out of state for an extra 36 hours more than agreed, and Susan gracefully and sweetly continued to take amazing care of my little guy. They went on lots of walks and I got plenty of pics and updates. Would recommend Susan to anyone who wants to be sure their dog is well taken care of 💙”
“Cade took great care of Sprocket. He kept us updated with photos throughout the stay and made us feel at ease, providing lots of walks, playtime, cuddles, and love. Sprocket came home happy and tired, and we would gladly use Cade's boarding services again.”
“Bailey had a great time with her new friends. She was kept active and comforted when she was fussy ( new place syndrome 😁) She has a new buddy in Ollie and I couldn't be happier for her care! We'll be back!”
“Leslie was wonderful with my 4 year old lab mix, Scarlett. My dog can be a little shy at first, but a couple of day care visits before my fishing trip seemed to help her become comfortable quickly. Scarlett seemed to have a great time. Playing and dogging with her new friends. She also formed quite the bond with Leslie! She was ecstatic to see her when we ran into each other at the dog parl! Leslie sent daily pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with Leslie's care for Scarlett.”
“Jennifer took great care of our family member Blue. (As with some human family members, our canine family member can be a handful.). Jennifer worked with our requests and Blue’s nuances/personality. Couldn’t be more pleased that we found Jennifer and were fortunate to have Blue hang out in a great environment, with customized attention. Five stars.”
“Sophia was wonderful! Our puppy can be a little bit nervous about new people and unfamiliar situations. Sophia planned for us to meet beforehand for a puppy play date, where my dog had a great time playing with hers. She is flexible, kind, and took great care of our puppy. She sent lots of photos of Albee over the weekend. We are definitely bringing Albee back to her soon. She came highly recommended from another friend and definitely lives up to every kind word.”
“Have used Kendra before for other vacations and continue to be impressed. Our dog came back happy, clean, and tired! Photos/videos were sent everyday for updates. Couldn't be happier!”
“Michelle and her family took great care of our Mini Aussie while we were traveling. We appreciated the great communication and how she figured out that Izzy just loves to be with people. We would absolutely love to have her care for Izzy again!”
“Great experience! Dolly was quick to respond to our texts and sent pictures while we were away which was so nice. One of our dogs is special needs and Dolly took excellent care of her. Will definitely book with Dolly again!”
“We recently moved to the area and had to leave our dog for 2 weeks. I was a bit anxious, but Leslie was awesome! We came out for a “meet and greet” before our trip and she showed us her wonderful property and answered all of our questions. She also kept in touch while we were away. Wiz was tired and happy and clean when we picked him up. Would highly recommend Leslie”

“Jack had a great time staying with Chelsea and her dogs and other boarders. I appreciated Chelsea’s willingness to accept a lengthy last minute request when my usual sitter canceled. Her communication was great, she clearly cares for dogs, and her facilities are excellent. I would highly recommend her services to any of my family and friends.”

“We are so thankful we found Jenna!! She is an absolute doll, so sweet & so easy to work with! Her communication is excellent, it’s clear she loves animals & she cares about doing the best possible job! I would highly recommend booking with her - you will not be disappointed! We’ll be using her again, without a doubt!”
“Camille was wonderful with our cat. I really appreciated the thoughtful pictures she sent as well. She left detailed reports and I knew our cat was in good hands. She even helped bring in several packages that had arrived. Definitely would recommend.”
“Annie took on our two spoiled indoor kitties. She was on time every day, reported on the kitties, and sent some really cute pictures. Everything was shipshape when we got home. We were thankful to have such conscientious TLC for “the boys” while we were out of town.”
“Lizz was amazing with our little clowns! They certainly appreciated her taking the time to work with them and give them the tlc they needed each and every visit! We surely will be using your services in the future Lizz, thank you so very much for your help! 🐱”
“Paulina is fantastic! Communication was great and she had no trouble giving our cat his daily thyroid medicine. Our cat is very shy and usually hides from strangers, so we were pleasantly surprised to see he felt so comfortable that he gave her some couch snuggles on the first visit. We would absolutely trust our cat in her care again!”
“Arianna helped look after our cat, Wayne, for about a week on a pretty last minute request and we are so grateful! She did a great job, and was super communicative. We would definitely recommend her for petsitting!”
“She was absolutely wonderful! Attentive, communicative, and so thoughtful about sending pictures of my kitties, just as I’d asked. One of my cats decided to take it upon himself to demolish a potted plant while I was away, and Willow cleaned up the whole mess without hesitation—and rescued my plant. When I got home, both of my kitties were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Sophia was fantastic! One of my cats got so stressed missing us that he ended up having blood in his urine - she spotted it and communicated to me right away so we could get him to a vet and get meds. She was a great communicator and clearly very sweet and caring with my boys. I will definitely book her again! Thank you!”
“Jewel was amazing. She took excellent care of my kitties and went above and beyond to keep me informed about them. She also helped by watering my house plant and when the water in my pipes froze she let me know and was so helpful. Oh would hire her again in a minute, and intend to. Thank you so much!”
“This was Lia’s first time watching my cat Bill and she did a great job. Lia was communicative and responsive before and during my trip. Lia shared detailed reports of Bill’s visits including cute photos of him. I felt like Bill was in incredibly caring hands while I was away. You can tell that Lia truly cares about animals. I would definitely rebook Lia!”
“Darien was fantastic with our cat! She usually won’t come out for anyone she doesn’t know, but by the second day she did and ended up greeting her! She has just the right calm energy for her and we will call her every time we need a cat sitter! She has been so helpful taking care of things, we couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Rene was a great sitter for our two cats! She followed all our (complicated) directions for feeding them and they both loved her - even our shy boy! We’ll definitely book her again. Thank you, Rene!”
“Flannery took amazing care of our cat for two weeks while we were traveling. Her daily reports were detailed with many cute pictures, and when we got home, it was easy to tell that our cat was well cared-for. I am looking forward to booking Flannery again!”
“Madalyn was AMAZING! She boarded my 6 month old kitten for 10 days and he loved it! Of course he was a bit shy at first, but Madalyn let him explore at his own pace until he was comfortable. She was very accommodating and made sure her apartment was cat friendly. She sent pictures and videos everyday… my kitty looked so happy and loved in all of them! I felt at ease being away from my cat because I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely have Madalyn watch Sesame in the future. Thank you Madalyn??”
“Another fabulous stay from Cady. Regular updates showing happy cats, thoughtful communication, and care taken for both our home and our fur babies. Cady is our go-to sitter!”
“Skylar was great with our elderly cat Lucky! Lucky usually hides from anyone who isn’t family, but she let Skylar take her picture and even accepted Nulo Treat from her. Skylar was flexible as our schedule changed a little and even helped us navigate the Rover app. I highly recommend her.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bellingham
“Alexis was fantastic, and I highly recommend them! They were communicative, attentive, and very flexible. My dog had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. Thank you, Alexis!”
“Great communication, flexible with my pickup and dropoff, and a very caring and thoughtful Rover member. Thank you Annie for watching our Oscar for the day! I’d be back in a heartbeat if we lived anywhere near Bellingham!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I’ve had since puppies, so I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with caring for pets. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs, young and energetic dogs, and dogs who need a little patience while they get comfortable with a new person. I have experience with everything from puppy energy and leash manners to post-surgery care. I know that every dog has their own quirks, preferences, and rules, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely rather than assuming what works for my dogs will work for yours. I’m also a physician assistant; being dependable, detail-oriented, observant, and calm in unexpected situations comes naturally to me. While my medical background is human rather than veterinary, I’m comfortable following detailed medication or care instructions and paying attention to changes in behavior or condition that may need to be brought to an owner’s attention. Most importantly, I treat pets as members of the household rather than a chore to check off a list. I want your dog to get the exercise, attention, affection, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule which gives me plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend care, and I can often be flexible with timing depending on your pet’s usual routine. I’m currently taking a couple online courses finishing my doctorate, so most of my schedule can be arranged around pet-care commitments. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feedings, walks, medications, crating, and any household-specific instructions. I know many pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I’m careful to respect both their routine and your home. For pets staying with me, I have a fenced yard on an acre of land at a dead end quiet street. I have 2 friendly, higher-energy dogs of my own; I would always want to make sure personalities and play styles are a good fit before having dogs spend extended time together, and I’m comfortable using crates or separate spaces when needed. I pay close attention to secure doors and gates, leash safety, feeding instructions, interactions between pets, and any behavioral or medical concerns you let me know about. My goal is to keep things calm, safe, and as consistent with your pet’s normal routine as possible.
“Saisoi is awesome! My boys quickly warmed up to her and I appreciate that she sent me photo updates throughout the day. It's clear she is an animal lover and that my dogs were comfortable staying with her. We will be re-booking Saisoi soon!”
“Kendra was amazing! She is very kind and loving with pets. I received pictures of Princess throughout the day and Princess looked so happy! If you live in the Palm Springs area, or are visiting (like I was), and need someone to look after your fur babies, I would 100% recommend her. ❤️ Thank you, Kendra!”
About: Hi, I'm Irene :)! I'm an all around animal lover, but especially dogs. I have a husky named Nova, so I have experience caring for and understanding dogs and cats of different personalities (huskies are part cat too, right?). I love spending time with them, playing, going for a walks, hikes, runs and making sure they're happy and safe. Although I enjoy activity daily, I also can handle the needs and care for lower energy/senior dogs. I'm responsible, punctual, and just enjoy being around animals. I'd be delighted to take care of your dogs or cats! I’m home most of the day since I study remotely. I might go out for a couple of hours to run errands, but aside from those times, I’m usually either at home or out in the mountains with my dog, Nova. So pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to give her plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship :) I would preferably care for pets in their own home, as my apartment is fairly small. I love keeping dogs active and happy through walks, runs, and hikes when appropriate and with the owners’ approval. And of course, lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m also happy to follow each pet’s routine and the owners’ instructions to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for
“Leslie is super professional, loves the puppies, and is very accommodating. I knew my buddy was in great hands when I left for the day…and her dogs made it fun for him to spend the day there. I HIGHLY recommend Leslie!”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Addison! He was friendly and communicative during pickup, drop off, and during care. When I picked up I could tell Puck had a wonderful time and Addison shared fun stories about his day. I'm planning to use him as a regular sitter for my pup!”
“Holly and her family took such great care of our dog, Dottie. I couldn't be happier with the process - from the first message to the meet & greet to the doggy day care date. Communication was clear and easy, and I felt that safety and care were well prioritized. Having that reassurance that your dog is in good hands is honestly priceless. The fact she had a great time with Archie is the cherry on top. Dottie is already passed out sleeping (on the couch - sorry!) from all the fun she had. Will definitely book again. Also thank you for all the photos during the visit! They were very comforting for this anxious dog mom.”
“Im incredibly happy to have found Sara and her lil dog Lilly thru this site. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my 9 month old puppy Maia. I completely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter. Sara was very attentive to her needs an giving cuddles as she missed her family. As well as sent me pictures from yard shanigans to a fun walk with both our doggies. I cant thank her enough and will definitely be chosing for the future!”
“I was a bit concerned when leaving my anxious dog with someone new but Denise was wonderful with Millie and even got her to eat something! Millie doesn’t trust easily, so it says a lot Millie would take treats from Denise. Denise sent me pics during Millie’s stay, and I felt so reassured she was in good hands. Thanks Denise!!”
“Good service , good communication , I took my little boy to Shawn place , it was is first time to stay away from us and when we came back to pick him up he was happy . Thanks for the great service you gave to Flocky :) .”
“Alexandra is a great! Highly recommend. Great communication and pictures my dog can be high maintenance as a loud husky and she handles him with ease and her husky as well is very sweet and well behaved.”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my little ZuZu. I appreciated that she was able to take care of her last minute. I felt like I was leaving her in good hands and I would definitely have Jennifer take care of my puppy again! ☺️”

“Meredith has been so great with our VERY energetic boy, Sammy! She is always punctual, communicative, professional, and friendly. She was able to accommodate our last minute requests and adjustments when we had just had a baby and were struggling to handle a newborn and a rambunctious lab-pittie mix at home. Book Meredith, she’s great!”
About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.
“Morgan is amazing! She really helped me out when I was in a pinch with a last minute booking. Even interrupted her Valentine’s Day plans to chat with me. Would love to work with her again.”
“Audrey looks out for the details when caring for our dogs. Amid freezing weather, we forgot to leave out the dog’s winter jackets, but she knew where they were in the garage and added them for the walk.”
About: I have pet sit off and on since high school, and have had many different pets growing up. I specialize with cats, including anxious or ones needing medication. I am currently in college, and class time varies between days, but outside of class and especially on the weekends I have plenty of time and energy. Walks with dogs are long and steady, easily lasting 45+ minutes rain or shine. When working with cats, I like to keep it low energy, plenty of lap time if they would like and toys when they ask!
“Erin has been an amazing daily walker for our dog Penny! She is always very responsive and reliable, and super sweet with our girl. Penny also recently spent the weekend boarding at Erin’s house, and she was treated very well and made some new friends! We will definitely continue to use Erin for taking care of our puppy.”
“Paulina was great. She was as very responsive when we reached out and was willing to make changes to times as we needed. We would definitely recommend her to others.”
About: Animals have been a lifelong part of my world, from volunteering with humane societies and animal sanctuaries to caring for dogs in my own home. With years of experience caring for animals and as a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in loving, trustworthy hands when you can’t be there. My goal is to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own dog: attentive, compassionate, reliable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I believe a trusted local pet sitter brings peace of mind to you and plenty of love, enrichment, and happiness to your pet. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of availability to provide attentive care for your pet. I love keeping my clients local, so I can spend less time driving and more time giving your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Being part of the local community also means I’m nearby when you need a trusted, reliable pet sitter. Safety is always my top priority. I take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, behaviors, and needs so I can provide safe, comfortable, and personalized care. For everyone’s safety, I always walk dogs on leash and take care to keep them secure and under control throughout our time together.
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.
“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and barn animals for 10+ years. My family and friends have relied me to feed, care for, walk, and play with their animals. I love dogs and cats, and have always been used to having them around. I am a full-time graduate student with a part-time job. That being said, I have time throughout the day, every morning, and every evening to stop by and play with your animals! I also have weekend availability. Since I currently do not own my own home and rent from a local in Burlington, I do not have in-home space to host and/or board dogs or cats.
“Kallie is the best. My dogs love it when she comes to walk them. Kallie is a great communicator and takes awesome photos. I know my dogs are safe and loved when they are with Kallie.”
“Keegan was great with our dog! We have a one year old golden retriever who can be high energy and gets very excited with new people. Keegan did great on walks with him - you can tell she loves animals. We’d happily have her walk/watch him again!”

“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

About: Hi there! My name is Alexandra, and aside from growing up with multiple pets in the house, I started petsitting on my own around 2017. I have taken care of a countless number of dogs with a variety of needs (experience with two diabetic dog as well), many cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, a lovebird, and plenty more small animals. Between 2019 and 2021 I volunteered at the animal humane society working hands on with dogs and their prospective adopters, and returned back in September 2025 as an animal care technician. I am very confident in my skills with dogs from all types of temperaments and age ranges. I just moved to Bellingham and have my next month open with lots of flexibility! In the fall I’ll be working part time on top of completing my degree online, regardless my schedule is very flexible and open. As a cat mom and past dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pets. I’m very flexible and open to doing new things that make you most comfortable as a pet parent and can make your pet feel most at ease and happy!

“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“My dog loved his stay with Adrienne. Max daily enjoyed the fenced back yard, hanging with her family during the day, and all the walks and smells in her neighborhood. He felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend Adrienne!”
“Thanks Denise for caring for my anxious pup. I appreciate the care you give her, and for understanding her needs. It makes her stay with you better for both of us!”
