“Susan always takes great care of our little, slightly anxious dog. We’re repeat customers because we trust her and know she’s reliable, communicates well, and cares about the dogs.”
“Kris and her family took great care of our Romy and Tilly. Tilly has lots of medical/health needs and she came back refreshed and well fed. Romy is a sweet boy but was having some behavioral issues and they took care of all of it and offered some suggestions for us to help!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Clara took great care of our dog! It was so nice to hear updates from her about their day and activities. In addition to the great care and attention she gave our dog, she was great communicator for planning and throughout the my dog’s stay. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future!”
“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.”
“Jessica was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in last minute to watch our dog, Frito, when our usual sitter fell through, and we couldn't be happier. She was so kind, incredibly easy to work with, and even took Frito on a long hike. He came home happy and wonderfully tired. We highly recommend her! 10/5 stars if it was possible to rate so high ✨”
“Adrienne and her two boys provided the kind of love and care I want my dog to receive when we are away. Adrienne is flexible, responsible and a delight to work with and accommodated us upon our return due to a delay in air travel. I received many photos and was immediately assured that our sweetie was in a great place. Thank you Adrienne ( and your sons) for being so darn nice.”
“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”
“It's been quite a while since we left our little boy with anyone other than family. We were a bit nervous initially how he would do with a bew peraon. We were very pleased with the care shown by Lisa during his stay. She was very atte tive to his needs and sent us lots of updates and pictures about how he was doing which helped ease our minds. We definitely recommend using Lisa if you need a Rover for your pooch.”
“Leslie provided an excellent boarding experience for our Frenchie, Kahi. My husband and I are always nervous to leave Kahi, but this time we felt more at ease knowing she was in great hands with Leslie. Leslie welcomed Kahi into her home and was knowledgable of what Kahi needed to feel safe and comfortable. She was diligent to provide daily updates and pictures. The pictures showed that Kahi was well-adjusted to Leslie’s home and having a great time playing and bonding with Leslie’s pups. We trusted Kahi was safe with Leslie which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Our dog came back super happy. Kelsey is also a trainer and gave some insights into our dog's behavior which I found fascinating and helpful. 10/10 and would book again! Thank you!!”
“Chelsea was great! She took very good care of our Bloodhound and Aussie! Great communication and sent update photos for our peace of mind. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”
“Holly was amazing with our Dozer, a bernedoodle. We got many pictures while on our overnight trip. Dozer is a cuddler and she provided lots of cuddle time. I would highly recommend Holly. I especially appreciated her safely fenced back yard. Looking forward to Dozer spending time with Holly again.”
“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”

“Camille took such amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town for a long weekend. We were so thankful she was able to care for them so last minute too! Our cats are former ferals and it takes them a bit to warm up to new people. I could tell by the pictures she shared that they warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company. Camille will definitely be our go-to cat sitter!”
“Great service. Well educated on Guinea pigs. Several good photos with each visit. All instructions followed. No one I would trust more with my piggies. Very sweet note left on the last day. Stellar.”
“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!”
“Emily did an incredible job caring for our two cats while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. When we returned, our cats were relaxed and happy, and it was obvious they had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Emily with our pets again in the future!”
“Layne was great with my cat! She hung out for a while and sent me pictures and info that made me feel like my cat was well cared for. I will definitely be booking again! Highly recommend.”
“Paulina was absolutely amazing! Very timely and very on top of any medication and special instructions. My kitty absolutely loved her and I will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Braelyn was very communicative & easy to work with. We had to find someone to feed our kitty really last minute, but she was so incredibly helpful and flexible. Highly recommend! :)”
“Arianna did a lovely job taking care of our four kitties. She was dependable and sent lots of pictures. One of our cats has to be pilled twice a day, and everything went smoothly. I recommend Arianna for cat care for sure!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lia was great. She did a wonderful job watching our precious kitty Xena. Xena can be slow to warm up to people so we loved that she gave Xena the space to open up. We definitely recommend Lia and will be using her as our pet sitter in the future.”
“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!”
“Rene did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend! I felt they were in good hands and received updates and pictures from the visit. Thank you Rene!”

“alexis is always awesome! she’s super flexible with last minute requests, and she has a nice yard for the dogs to run around in! we also like that there’s always other dogs there so atlas gets to socialize. he’s looking forward to coming back!”
“Morgan was simply the best! We couldn’t have asked for a more caring, communicative and flexible first Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable having Henry stay with her and her adorable dog Baby. She sent frequent pictures of their activities and ensured Henry got exercise, rest, healthy snacks and attention. We were only visiting Bellingham but wish she lived in our town - we would have her hang with Henry all the time! Cannot recommend enough. Thank you Morgan!”
About: i have loved animals ever since i was a kid and have had cats my whole life. Before i got my current dog i always wanted to watch my friends and families dogs. i have been officially watching dogs and cats for two years now and have met so many amazing cuties! i love the dog park and will take your pups without a doubt! i’m currently a freshman and western washington university with only 2 classes a day so every weekday (especially my evenings) should be open for walks and stop bye. if more is needed i can make room in my schedule! if you have a yard i will always keep watch if i am letting the dog out and keep a good eye on walks as well. i care for these pets as much as myself and want them to feel comfortable in my presence.
“Jennifer was great! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Coast had such a great time hanging out with other dogs and had plenty of room to run and play”
“Annie was super responsive when we were searching for a dog sitter for the day and made herself available at the very last minute. Our dog seemed to have a great time and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up in the evening.”
“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: Hi! I’m Clara! 🐾 I’ve been caring for animals for over 5 years, and loving them for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and dogs, and caring for them was always one of my favorite parts of the day. I’ve even had the unique experience of helping rescue an owl! I have a Bachelor’s degree from Western Washington University and spent the past 3 years working at a local elementary school, where I was trusted with the care and well-being of children every day. That experience has taught me to be patient, attentive, responsible, and, most importantly, to meet each individual’s needs. I’ve also been trusted by family, friends, and Rover families to care for their pets in all kinds of situations—from overnight stays and walks to drop-in visits, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Whether your dog needs a long adventure, some extra attention while you’re away, or simply a calm friend to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe the best care starts with getting to know them. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while they’re with me. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care is my sole focus currently- so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am available both weekends and weekdays, I'm a morning person as well, so I don't mind an early morning with a pet. It is imperative that your animals feel safe and comfortable around me, so I will meet them where they're at. I don't force connections, and I will always make sure that they know I am a safe human to be around. Routines and schedules are important, as well as being able to read an animals cues and understand what they need in that moment. I can provide that for your pet.
“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!”
“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!”
“Im so thankful I found Luz, shes fantastic and I knew my lil pup was in good hands. Im so leary of people watching my animals but I went with my instinct. I highly recommend Luz if your needing a sitter. It was nice meeting her hubby and dog as well!!”
“Karrin is great, super great communication on the app and in person. She sent pictures, although I didn’t get them because I didn’t have WiFi on the whale watching excursion most of the time, until later but she sent me a lot of them for the short amount of time they were with her. She took great care of them. They are looking forward to going back to see her and her puppy tomorrow and spending the night with them!!!”
“Leslie gave our pups a fun and active day, and was very kind and attentive to them (and us, too, but we're less important!) when we met her at first and on the day of our visit. All very good!”
“Tami sent me pictures and videos throughout the day and even gave Jack treats and a bone! Jack got to play with a variety of dogs and humans, and run around a fully fenced backyard. He came home totally exhausted, what more can you ask for?”
“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.”
About: I have babysat many of my friends pets. I like to take them on walks because not only do they get their exercise I also get mine. I like to play with them and see them be joyful causing me to smile. My parents also own a dog breeding business and as a kid I would help them also so I know quite about dogs (puppies). Hi! I’m a professional caregiver with experience caring for disabled adults and geriatric patients. My work has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, attentiveness, and treating every individual with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I’m also currently pursuing my law degree, and while my career goals are important to me, caring for animals brings me a completely different kind of happiness and joy. I genuinely love being around pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet with patience, attention, and plenty of love. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, routines, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I also keep their space clean and make sure they receive plenty of companionship and attention. My professional caregiving experience with disabled adults and geriatric patients has taught me to be observant, dependable, and attentive to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I’ve walked a lot of my neighbors dogs for money. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats overnight, and I’ve helped train my neighbors dogs. I work part time and have a workout schedule so I take them out early in the morning, late in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before bed. Longer walks are always in the morning and at night and shorter ones are more frequent during the day. I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a friendly dog who enjoys meeting new friends, and pets are always supervised and treated like family. While I don’t have a yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of walks, exercise and attention. For house sitting and drop in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and lots of affection. I live with my grandma in a calm, pet friendly home and am committed to keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away.
About: I adore dogs and would love to help out with yours! I have had my dog, Tank, for about 8 years now. I love to take him on walks and throw a ball with him. If you have any specific requests or if your dog has a specific schedule, I’m more than happy to accommodate! I’m a college student but I do have some flexibility and I can try my best to work with you and meet your needs. I am extra free on my school breaks too! I can make any type of adjustments so your dog is happy and comfortable. Do they have a strict schedule for food or walks? I can make sure that that routine remains. I have a medium sized dog at home (about 20 pounds) I make sure to exercise him everyday, even if it’s just for a quick walk near my apartment so exercising your dog is something I’m always happy to do.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I love spending time with them. I now have more time on my hands and would love to spend it caring for dogs who need some TLC. I had a senior pug who sadly rent over the rainbow bridge last year. The last few years she was with me, I had to give her medication, take care of her eyes and give her a special diet. I also had a lab who developed cancer and needed medication and a special diet. I feel I would be a perfect person to care for special needs dogs. I am retired so I have time to care for your pet from my home with frequent walks and/or bathroom breaks around our 5 acre property. I live on 5 acres. I do not have a fenced yard but take multiple walks throughout the day so your dog would be safely walked on a leash.

“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.”
“Meredith is the best! Completely dependable, genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Great communication and my dog loves her! My dog is super attached to me and won't go off on walks with other people easily, but with Meredith she does. Dogs just know.”
“Camille was responsive in communication, arrived promptly, flexible with times when needed, and Sassa loved walking with her. I'm very grateful for her support in caring for my dog.”
“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: 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!
“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!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, safe environment. I’m patient, attentive to routines, and comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra reassurance.

I have experience with horses, goats and chickens. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so each pet gets consistent attention. I’m reliable with routines and enjoy making pets a regular, important part of my day.

About: Happy Trails & Wagging Tails Hello, I'm Jess, and I love being outdoors just as much as your dog does. If there's a trail to hike, a route to run, or a bike path to cruise, I would love to have your four-legged friend along for the adventure. Why your pup will have a blast: Your dog won't be stuck on the couch while you're away. Depending on their energy level and age, they'll get adventurous runs and hikes, a fun fetch playtime, or a gentle walk around the block, and of course plenty of cuddles when it's time to wind down. I'll happily match your dog's pace, whether that's a trail-loving athlete or a laid-back senior who prefers a sniffari-stroll. Why you can trust me: For the past 5 years, I've been caring for my friends' dogs, from quick walks and feeding check-ins to long overnight stays. I'm comfortable sticking to your dog's routine, following feeding and medication instructions and schedules, and keeping a close eye on how they're doing. You'll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. A little about me: I'm active, reliable, and definitely the girl asking if I can pet your dog. If you run into me around town, it will most likely be out on the trails, in the climbing gym, or yoga studio. Or possibly the farmers market, or local community events around town. My main activities are running, hiking, backpacking, swimming, biking, climbing and mountaineering, and the more relaxing at-home hobbies include, baking, sewing, crafts, and planning fun girls nights with my friends. Send me a message if you're interested in setting up a meet and greet! I'd love to meet you and your best friend. I'm currently (recently) unemployed , and looking for pet-care to be somewhat of a part-time endeavor while I work on establishing self-employment working from home. With that said, I have lots of flexibility with my time and availability to work with your schedule and daily/weekly routines and needs. I have both had dogs stay with me in my home. I live in a 2 story townhouse with a small back patio. I have kept small and large dogs here without any issue. Usually I take dogs on a bathroom walk around the neighborhood, and for running or hiking, take them on trails. I have a running/bungee leash I use for running, but can use whatever harness, collar, and leash is preferred by the dog and owner. I have room for a crate if needed for overnight stays, but it would need to be provided as I do not own one. I have an SUV, and room for a dog bed and can hold a large dog in the back to transport for hikes or trail runs as needed.
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”

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.

“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.”
“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.”
“Clara took great care of our dog! It was so nice to hear updates from her about their day and activities. In addition to the great care and attention she gave our dog, she was great communicator for planning and throughout the my dog’s stay. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future!”
“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.”
“Jessica was an absolute lifesaver! She stepped in last minute to watch our dog, Frito, when our usual sitter fell through, and we couldn't be happier. She was so kind, incredibly easy to work with, and even took Frito on a long hike. He came home happy and wonderfully tired. We highly recommend her! 10/5 stars if it was possible to rate so high ✨”
“Adrienne and her two boys provided the kind of love and care I want my dog to receive when we are away. Adrienne is flexible, responsible and a delight to work with and accommodated us upon our return due to a delay in air travel. I received many photos and was immediately assured that our sweetie was in a great place. Thank you Adrienne ( and your sons) for being so darn nice.”
“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”
“Leslie provided an excellent boarding experience for our Frenchie, Kahi. My husband and I are always nervous to leave Kahi, but this time we felt more at ease knowing she was in great hands with Leslie. Leslie welcomed Kahi into her home and was knowledgable of what Kahi needed to feel safe and comfortable. She was diligent to provide daily updates and pictures. The pictures showed that Kahi was well-adjusted to Leslie’s home and having a great time playing and bonding with Leslie’s pups. We trusted Kahi was safe with Leslie which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Our dog came back super happy. Kelsey is also a trainer and gave some insights into our dog's behavior which I found fascinating and helpful. 10/10 and would book again! Thank you!!”
“Karrin was wonderful. She sent daily, or near daily, updates or photos. When my travel plans were unexpected delayed a few hours, Karrin was willing to work with me around pick up (which I greatly appreciate).”
“Chelsea was great! She took very good care of our Bloodhound and Aussie! Great communication and sent update photos for our peace of mind. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kristyn did a wonderful job at watching our puppy! She was very responsive and accommodating to our dogs needs. Communicated very well throughout the whole stay.”
“I have to be honest, I was hesitant to leave my two best friends with a complete stranger. Addison didn’t feel like a stranger within 5 seconds of meeting him in person. Him and his family took such great care of my boys, and put my mind completely at ease while I was out of town for Christmas. Daily pictures and check-ins were sent to me unprompted, which I could not have been more appreciative of. Rover, I’m not sure if you read these reviews, but you have a gem in your hands with Addison. I will 100% be using Addison’s services in the future. Great guy, great family, and a great disposition around dogs.”
About: *Please note that for doggy day care, an extra fee of $15 may be requested if this stay is over 9 hours. I've had multiple dogs throughout my life and genuinely love spending time with them. These days, I have a dog of my own plus my partner's two dogs, (we all live here) so our house is always full of happy pups! My experience includes: • Experienced Rover doggy daycare provider • Experienced dog sitter outside of Rover • Raised in a hobby farm in WI • Caring for diabetic dogs that require strict feeding schedules and medication administration • Following detailed care instructions, dietary restrictions, and medication routines with great attention to detail My own dog has taught me a lot about allergies, sensitivities, and special care needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will take your pet's unique requirements seriously. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and are treated like part of the family. I work from home and have a fully (high) fenced backyard. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I'll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. Please know that I live with my partner (who loves animals more than anyone I’ve ever met) and if I have an appointment or errand during drop off, he helps to stay back and do the hand off. If that’s not okay, let me know and I will make it work! -I work remotely Monday-Friday from 7-3:30 -I do tend to stay busy out of the house after 5pm for errands or a gym class a few times a week but no day is the same -Typically in the mountains one day out of the weekend I can be decently flexible during the week but I might NOT be the best fit if: -I can’t leave your dog at my house for 1.5 hours after work if I go to the gym or run an errand -If you need care past 8:00pm because that’s typically my bedtime… but I can be flexible. -Your dog doesn’t get along well with others …Otherwise, let’s do this! Other: -I live in the Roosevelt neighborhood in Bellingham -I will definitely send frequent updates and fun photos of your pet child while on pet duty -I am flexible so most things aren't a no but please reach out with questions about availability and I always do my best to respond ASAP House Fully fenced yard front and back 3 dogs live here My partner lives here too and we both are beyond careful with the dogs’ safety. We will love your dog like we love our 3 and yes, the gate is always secured :)
“Dolly is so kind and always takes such good care of our special needs dog. We have used Dolly twice now and already have her booked for a 3rd stay. Super pleased with the care our dogs get with Dolly.”
“Holly was amazing with our Dozer, a bernedoodle. We got many pictures while on our overnight trip. Dozer is a cuddler and she provided lots of cuddle time. I would highly recommend Holly. I especially appreciated her safely fenced back yard. Looking forward to Dozer spending time with Holly again.”
About: Not only do I have over 30 years of personal pet experience, I've got decades of experience fostering pets of all types and volunteering with animals! My career is working with marine invertebrates and fish, plus at home I care for birds, reptiles, amphibians fresh water fish and shrimp, insects and a large senior dog! Dogs are my favorite people, and I really enjoying getting to know each pup and providing them exactly what they need to feel stimulated, safe and happy. I'm happy to train your pup with the commands and treats of your choosing and do some light grooming along with walks(or car rides with the window down for the most senior doggos if you prefer!) I'm a mom! And I'm passionate about animal care. Weekends are easiest for me to give your pet a LOT of attention, if needed. But I can do weekday care as well with my flexible schedule. If your dog has a favorite walking place, I'm happy to travel with them there if it's in town. My dog loved the Lake Padden dog park in his youth, even though we went to many dog parks! I know how important it is for most dogs to keep their routine! I prefer to visit your home to care for your pets. They will usually feel more comfortable in their own home. If your doggo needs to shadow someone at all times to feel secure, we can talk about your pup staying at my home instead. My senior dog loves a good cuddle partner or romp in the big fenced yard out back! Dogs that stay at my home would have a choice of sleeping on the dog bed in my room or on the bed with me and my pup. Or, there is also the choice of sleeping in my kid's room as well, if your dog prefers older kids who are great with dogs!
