“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!”
“Ratih and her partner were so incredible with my dog. Super responsive, caring, accommodating, and nurturing. I felt so at ease leaving my boy with Ratih and would love to use her again in the future. Thank you, Ratih! ♥️”
“When Beebe lost her bonded pair, she experienced separation anxiety and is challenging to leave on her own or with other care givers. I appreciate Kelsey's willingness to care for her very much.”
“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”
“Susan was absolutely amazing with our boy. He had a really hard time with separation anxiety and she handled him with such love and care. She was so loving and understanding. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept me updated with pictures & messages easing my worries of being so far away. I was truly thankful to know my baby was being so well cared for.”
“We highly recommend Lisa as a pet sitter! She took care of our dog, Mr. Beckett while we were out of town. Not only did she provide excellent care for Mr. Beckett, but she also went above and beyond to ensure he felt loved and comfortable while we were away. We enjoyed the daily texts and pictures showing us he was safe and having a great time. Our nervousness about leaving Mr. Beckett for the first time was greatly reduced after we saw how well he was doing with her. Lisa would take him and her dog Ollie on daily adventures at the local parks. He enjoyed playing with Ollie and seemed very happy there. We will gladly use Lisa’s services in the future, she is trustworthy, loving and very in tune to our dog’s needs.”
“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”
“Jennifer is outstanding! Finding her was truly a God send. We recently got a puppy and were worried we wouldn't be able to find a sitter in time before we all returned work. I stumbled across Rover, did a quick search and there she was. Communicating with her was simple and response time was almost instant! She took our little girl in with open arms and have provided her excellent care! Our pup adapted to Jennifer, her animals, and her home with ease. She has helped me with a few late care requests and accommodates my early drop off and late pick up due to work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“This is our first time dropping our dog off to stay somewhere overnight. Dolly put all our nervousness to rest. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. It was evident from the videos and pictures she sent that our dog was having a great time! She got lots of exercise and play time, and we would gladly trust Dolly with her again. Our dog was not sure she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Amber was awesome and super flexible when my flight got cancelled TWICE and she had to keep my pup an extra day. She sent plenty of pics and updates. Bailey loved her time there and we will be using Amber again in the future! ??”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were treated with love and attention the entire time. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. It made being away so much easier. We will absolutely be booking again with Danielle”
“Adrienne was fantastic with Moose! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, took him on plenty of walks and hikes, and it is was clear he was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“One of the BEST sitters we have ever had! Velzy loved her weekend stay and we could tell she felt safe and right at home. Michelle and her family understand animals and they have such a big heart for them. Communication was excellent and we loved getting all the sweet pics and videos. We feel so thankful to have met Michelle and her family and will definitely have Velzy stay with them anytime we are in town to visit. Thank you again!”
“Our dog had a great time during her 5-day stay with Erin & her family. Erin took her on daily outings - either to the dog park or on hikes. Those activities - & being able to play with Erin’s dogs kept her busy & also kept her usual anxiousness to a minimum. Erin sent photos & videos each day so we always knew what they’d been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin & we’ll have our dog stay with Erin again!”
“Kelsey took wonderful care of our dog, Ruby, while we were out of town for a few days. Ruby had so much fun with Kelsey’s dogs and you could tell she instantly felt at home. Thank you so much for treating her like your own!”
“Kendra was phenomenal-- so responsive, kind and thorough, took my dog on all the walks, and even reinforced training. Doggy came back home clean and happy. Will definitely plan to use Kendra again for our vacations :)”

“Tyeler takes such good care of our cat, Nellie and she is our go to when we will be out of town! She goes above and beyond and I always feel more relaxed knowing Nellie is in good hands when we are gone.”
“Michael was amazing! He was great with our cats and was so easy to work with! He also went above and beyond with bringing in our packages as well and offered to grab our mail for us. Thanks Michael! We will definitely book with you again!”
“We really appreciated Leslie walking our dog for a last minute request. She was very responsive and communication was easy. She even offered some helpful training tips. Thanks!”
“This was my second time having Marisa watch my kitty and I just so appreciate her! She’s extremely responsive and professional and goes above and beyond with her care, notes, and photos. I can really trust that my cat is in great hands and love that she is opening up more and more to Marisa :)”
“Lizz was very patient, kind & thorough with the care of our Elder Miss Belle, 18. During our recent heat event the photos reassured us that she was doing well. Lizz had recommended a “cooling pad” for her sleep area. Belle took to it right away. Again, the photos showed she was faring well in the heat. Thanks. Karen & Tom”
“Raith & her husband are BOTH incredible! My babies will absolutely be going back when I need a sitter✨ Was able to book with *VERY SHORT NOTICE* & I was updated regularly, with pictures included🩷 My two cats made themselves right at home & I could tell they were very comfy there, based off of the updates on their personalities☀️ They were very enthusiastic to spend time with my babies & even brought us a cup of Raith’s incredible coffee when we picked them up!🐾 Could not speak any more highly of them & their services😻”
“We are so happy to have found Karolina! She and our kitty seem to really love each other. She takes such good care of our house, and keeps our kitty happy while we are away. We have no worries when she is there.”
“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!”
“Karlee has checked in on my cat a couple times now. She has excellent communication and follows instructions. I know my little furball is in great hands with her!! Highly recommended.”
“Taylor has done a great job checking in on my cat twice now. He is very shy with most people but when she comes over I always get pictures of them snuggling. Would definitely recommend and book again! Thank you so much!”
About: Cats are my specialty, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I currently care for my own cats, including one who takes daily steroid medication, so I'm comfortable following medication schedules and paying close attention to changes in behavior. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or simply needs someone to keep their routine consistent, I'll provide attentive, compassionate care. Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime or companionship, and photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: I am a passionate animal lover who enjoys building a genuine connection with every companion animal I care for - from long walks to couch naps to extended belly rubs. I treat all animals like my own, and am quick to learn their needs so they feel comfortable during my watch. I work from home, so I will will spend the entire workday with your animal (in addition to all other responsibilities. I am very communicative, and I have been told I take great animal photos - so you will feel connected to them as you enjoy your travels away from home! As I mentioned above, I work from home so I plan to spend the entire work day with your furry friends. I will also spend as much additional time with them as they need to make sure they’re comfortable in your absence. I am very responsible when it comes to your needs and what will make you feel safe while I am watching your companions. I will follow any guidelines you leave for me, and I will treat your animals with the gentleness and respect they deserve. I am also respectful of your space, and my hope is that you return without knowing I was even staying in your home!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Doran
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Leslie is awesome to work with. We started with a meet and greet and then Toast stayed with her for daycare. She was very communicative, and was wonderful with Toast. Sometimes he can get really excited and stressed with too much time with other dogs, but when I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. We'll totally book with her again.”
“Thank you so much for watching our baby Boo! He was wore out and was sad the next day he didn't have his buddies around. Next time we come to Washington we will book again with Jennifer. She did an amazing job and he loved staying there!”
“Amber took amazing care of Lili! This was my first Rover experience so naturally I was nervous. I was also worried because Amber had big dogs that I wasn't sure my dog would get along with. Well, I didn't need to worry at all! Amber's dogs are calm and very well trained and got along great with Lili. I LOVED getting pictures and updates. It is very clear that Amber is an experienced dog owner, and treated Lili like her own :) Lili got so much attention and love, will book again!”
“She took great care of my dog Damian! He came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Communication was smooth, and I really appreciated the updates. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“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!”
“Tami was wonderful! She was open to watching our Trudy for a one-time event while we were enjoyed a full day of non-doggy play while on vacation. Trudy had a BLAST! She came home exhausted. Apparently, she had a grand time in Tami's backyard with her Spaniel. She came back spoiled, but not rotten. Tami is an asset. I wish she lived near me. I would not hesitate to have her watch our Trudy for a short or extended period of time.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Olga did such a great job watching Appa! We were extra nervous bc we had had a poor experience with a different sitter leaving Appa outside all day in the heat and him nearly dying. I didn't think I could trust anyone again after that, but we eventually found ourselves really needing a sitter and I didn't know what to do. After seeing Olga's profile, reviews, and seeing her home and meeting her I felt a lot better. Her house was nice and clean, I could see she was taking Appa's needs seriously. We decided to have her watch Appa. She did a great job reassuring me by sending me pics and videos of Appa throughout his stay and letting me know how he was doing. I could tell he was so happy in the videos. He has a lot of energy and Olga played with him a lot. He came home tired out from a full day of playing. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone and would use her services again!”
“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!”
“Alexis and Amy have a great thing going. My partner and I are typically weary about leaving our high energy dog with strangers but couldn't have been happier that we chose Alexis' daycare. Everything from communication to drop-off/pick-up was super smooth. Our dog Sprocket thrives on social interaction with both humans and dogs and was happily exhausted at the end of the day when we picked him up. All the other dogs at daycare seem very well adjusted and friendly as well which was a relief for us. Would definitely recommend them and we will certainly be using them again! Thank you!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Katrina is a gem - quick responses, and was very easy going and willing to roll with it when I (embarrassingly) forgot my dog's bag of lunch, toys, etc. the first time I brought him over. I don't think he even missed his things, given how well her place is set up for dogs. The big, fenced back yard is a dream!”
About: I grew up on a small organic farm, where we raised everything from sheep and goats to rabbits and quail. We also had 5 cats and a dog, so caring for animals was a part of my everyday life from a young age. That experience has given me the confidence to care for pets with different personalities and needs. As I got older, my love for animals stayed with me. Whether your pet loves long walks, play time or wants someone to keep them company i’ll make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I recently graduated college at WWU and I am currently working part time, so I can easily fit around your schedule and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work Tuesday and Thursday and I am off in the afternoon. I live close to a few parks that are dog friendly and make a great walk. Inside, pets are free to roam throughout the house.
“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!”

“Michael has been great with walking our dog mid-day during the week! It is great knowing our dog gets some exercise and companionship when we are at work. Plus, we come home to a happy, tired dog. Thank you!!”
“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.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, to chihuahua to heelers. My dogs are seniors and need a lot of care and special food. My heeler has lots of energy, I’m accustomed to high energy dogs. I work part-time, I work 8-12am on wensday, Thursday and Sunday. After that I can come and spend as much time as you need me to take care of your fur baby’s I have a 5 acre property, with a fence so they won’t be able to escape, If your dog needs to be in a create I am able to get them in there.
About: I still have few spots available in May, June and part of July, so book your pet sitting now! Sedro-Woolley, Bellingham and Mount Vernon! As a school bus driver, I work 6-10 AM, then have few hours break and go back to my afternoon drive 2-6 PM. To ensure proper care for animals, I like to book clients no further than a 30 min drive from Sedro Woolley. Please take this into consideration when looking at a sitter for your pets! The school year ends June 12th and I am available until mid-July. Afterwards, I am taking time off for my own motorcycle travels (this time to Colorado) and then spend August in Europe :) I have owned cats, large dogs (100 + lbs), and horses over the years, so I'm well-versed in handling a variety of pet needs. I am comfortable around animals and can stand my ground with them. I enjoy large breeds and, having two 150Lbs + dogs before I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of them! I am available for short and long term stays in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dogs, cats, horses, turtles and fish - all welcomed and loved! I work as a school bus driver, so I leave the house early in the morning for few hours, then have 2-4 hrs off and then drive the kids home in the afternoon, usually 2-6 pm. If this is something that will work for you and your pet family, please reach out! I usually do a greet & meet before to make sure that everyone is comfortable! I will follow the directions you give me, be it giving medication to your pets, putting it in the crate at night or when away and any other rules that you may have.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As the daughter of two veterinarians, I grew up working in a veterinary clinic. More recently, I worked in a dog boarding facility, so I am comfortable caring for animals of all behavior types and physical conditions. I understand how important our pets are to us and I am eager to help ! I work another part time job, and my schedule gives me plenty of openings throughout the week to stop by. I am available Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday on most weeks, but my schedule is flexible. I have a car and am able and willing to drive to clients’ homes within a wide radius. I will treat your home with respect and will leave it cleaner than I left it, if you want. I cannot take care of animals in my own home but I am happy to drive to your home.
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring pet lover with lots of experience staying active and attentive — which makes me great with high-energy dogs and pets who need consistent care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I keep a flexible schedule, so I’m able to prioritize walks, feeding, and check-ins consistently. I make sure each pet gets reliable care and attention without rushing. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and familiar for the pet as possible. I stick to their feeding schedule, provide walks, playtime, and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always keep the space clean and respectful. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel at ease.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.
About: I love animals!! I have a 9 year old golden doodle and she loves new friends! We are very active so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise with us. I am home frequently and can accommodate dogs of many needs. I have used rover many times myself and I aim to provide the same high-quality love and care that my dog has received. Dogs can expect to have lots of walks and play time. I love to take them to new trails and parks. They’re allowed on furniture to get extra cozy and have free roam of my dog-friendly home. :) Please let me know your animals exercise, feeding, sleeping, and cuddling routine so we can make them feel as at home as possible! I currently work part time and I am in school where I do most of my studies from home. I take frequent walks around the neighborhood and love to explore places in nature with the dogs as well. I spend lots of time at home, ensuring your pet has the time and attention they deserve. I love taking care of animals and treating them like they are my own babies!
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.
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, we love going on hikes, going to the park, basically anything. When I'm not at work, I'm always with my girls. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past, and I would love to get more experience working with animals. Who knows, this could be the direction I end up taking my career. I have a little bit of experience with house-sitting/dog-sitting. I am very comfortable handling multiple dogs at a time. My dogs are very friendly and I don't believe I have ever met another dog that they have not gotten along with. They are getting a little grumpy in their old age, but they’re still very sweet! I was working remote and was recently laid off due to outsourcing. So I am home with my dogs every day, we go on walks around our neighborhood and go to dog parks in the area. I have an unfenced yard and 2 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are indoor/outdoor, and they are not shy with dogs. We keep dogs on a lead if they aren’t great off-leash and we have a good little spot to throw the ball.
About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had this special bond with animals. I was always the one neighbors/familt friends would call to walk their dogs, feed their cats, or look after their birds and reptiles. It just came naturally to me, and I loved every minute of it. Those early experiences really sparked my passion for animal care. As I grew older, I wanted to make sure I was the best at what I do, so I took lots of courses in pet health, nutrition, and behavior. I believe every animal is unique and deserves personalized care, so I always try to understand their individual needs and personalities. Because of this, many pet owners trust me with their beloved animals, knowing they’re in good hands. I don’t just stick to the basics either. I’m known for going the extra mile, whether it’s staying up all night with a sick pet, finding the best toys and activities to keep them entertained, or just giving them lots of love and cuddles. My home often becomes a safe haven for animals in need, and I’m committed to making sure every pet I care for lives a happy, healthy life. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me; it’s a mission I’m truly passionate about. One of the most rewarding parts of what I do is seeing the transformation in the animals I care for. Whether it’s a rescue dog learning to trust again, a cat recovering from an illness, or a bird that starts to sing joyfully, each success story fuels my dedication. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of animals, each with its own story and needs, and it’s always a privilege to be part of their journey. Over time, I’ve built a reputation in my community for being reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Pet owners know they can count on me not just for basic care, but for a level of attention and love that makes a real difference. It’s not uncommon for me to receive updates and thank-you notes long after I’ve cared for someone’s pet, which always warms my heart and reaffirms why I do what I do. Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue expanding my knowledge and skills in animal care. There’s always something new to learn, and I’m committed to staying at the forefront of best practices in pet health and well-being. My goal is to keep providing top-notch care and to be a trusted resource for pet owners who want the very best for their furry, feathered, or scaly family members. I work as a veterinary assistant at a pet emergency center, where I interact with animals of all kinds on a daily basis. In this fast-paced environment, I have gained extensive experience handling emergencies, assisting with medical procedures, and administering medications. My role requires me to stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly to unexpected situations, and provide compassionate care to animals, no matter how challenging the circumstance. When I provide care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain the pet’s daily routine and ensure their comfort, health, and safety. I take every measure to reduce stress, provide consistent care, and keep owners updated throughout the process. To achieve this, I follow the guidelines below: • Feeding & Hydration • Meals are provided according to the pet’s regular schedule and portion instructions. • Fresh water is checked and refilled at every visit. • Any dietary restrictions, allergies, or special feeding requirements are strictly followed. • Medication & Special Care • Prescription and over-the-counter medications are administered exactly as directed. • Detailed records are kept for medication administration. • Any ongoing medical conditions, treatments, or post-operative care instructions are carefully monitored and followed. • Exercise & Enrichment • Dogs are walked according to their energy level, leash behavior, and owner preferences. • Playtime and enrichment activities are provided to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. • Safety protocols are always followed when outside the home (e.g., secure leashing, avoiding unsafe areas, monitoring for triggers). • Health & Behavior Monitoring • Pets are observed closely for any changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, or bathroom habits. • Any signs of illness, injury, or distress are documented and reported to the owner promptly. • If needed, emergency veterinary care will be sought in accordance with the owner’s instructions. • Home & Environment • Litter boxes, cages, or designated potty areas are cleaned and maintained as instructed. • Pet areas are kept tidy, and any accidents are cleaned appropriately. • I respect the client’s home and belongings, ensuring cleanliness and security during each visit. • Communication & Updates • Owners receive regular updates, including written notes, photos, or videos upon request. • Any concerns or questions are communicated promptly for transparency and peace of mind. • Emergency contact information is kept on hand at all times. By following these standards, I am able to provide reliable, professional, and compassionate care while ensuring each pet feels safe and loved in their own home.
About: Since I was very young I have loved and cared for our dogs and cats. For the pups, taking them for long walks and spoiling them with toys and cuddles are among my specialties! For my cats, they are the lucky recipients of lots and lots of petting, cat toys and of course their favorite meals. I have an open schedule and can stop in for regular, long dog walks or stay over for overnight pet sitting and for any pet needs in between. I have experience with all ages and all sizes of dogs and cats and like to know all of your pet's favorite things and quirk so I can make my time with them super comfotable and fun. I am far away from home and miss my animals, now Rover gives me that chance to share my love of pets with others! I have time in the mornings and evenings to play, feed, and walk the pups. I never leave a dog for longer than 8 hours but I try to make 6 the max. In my own home it’s important to make sure they have some pieces of their home like toys, a bed, and a space to feel comfortable. In your home, I know it’s their space not mine. I care a lot about respecting others’ space.
“Taylor is so kind and positive in her approach. She showed up reliably, texting me when she was on her way, and afterward giving a report of how the walk went. Finley just loves her. We feel we have found our match!”

“When Beebe lost her bonded pair, she experienced separation anxiety and is challenging to leave on her own or with other care givers. I appreciate Kelsey's willingness to care for her very much.”
“Laura was communicative and reliable in preparation and during our pup’s care. Felt she went above and beyond to ensure our dog was happy and well cared for, from pickup/drop off offerings to navigating our holiday travel/availability. Would recommend her!”
“Lenore took the absolute best care one could hope for of my German Shepherd, Maggie. Over the course of the weekend my plans changed, and Lenore was exceptionally flexible. I was able to enjoy my weekend away, completely assured that Maggie was in truly capable hands and cared for by a compassionate heart. Maggie and Lenore‘s dog Rook also got along famously. It’s not just a relief. I have finally found Maggie‘s home away from home.”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“This is our first time dropping our dog off to stay somewhere overnight. Dolly put all our nervousness to rest. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. It was evident from the videos and pictures she sent that our dog was having a great time! She got lots of exercise and play time, and we would gladly trust Dolly with her again. Our dog was not sure she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“Amber was awesome and super flexible when my flight got cancelled TWICE and she had to keep my pup an extra day. She sent plenty of pics and updates. Bailey loved her time there and we will be using Amber again in the future! ??”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs were so well cared for, and it was clear they were treated with love and attention the entire time. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. It made being away so much easier. We will absolutely be booking again with Danielle”
“Adrienne was fantastic with Moose! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, took him on plenty of walks and hikes, and it is was clear he was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“One of the BEST sitters we have ever had! Velzy loved her weekend stay and we could tell she felt safe and right at home. Michelle and her family understand animals and they have such a big heart for them. Communication was excellent and we loved getting all the sweet pics and videos. We feel so thankful to have met Michelle and her family and will definitely have Velzy stay with them anytime we are in town to visit. Thank you again!”
“Our dog had a great time during her 5-day stay with Erin & her family. Erin took her on daily outings - either to the dog park or on hikes. Those activities - & being able to play with Erin’s dogs kept her busy & also kept her usual anxiousness to a minimum. Erin sent photos & videos each day so we always knew what they’d been up to. I would not hesitate to recommend Erin & we’ll have our dog stay with Erin again!”
“Kendra was phenomenal-- so responsive, kind and thorough, took my dog on all the walks, and even reinforced training. Doggy came back home clean and happy. Will definitely plan to use Kendra again for our vacations :)”
“The best dog minder ever. Our Toby loves playing with Archie and gets excited when I mention going over to stay with him. Holly has become almost family to us. Very reliable, friendly.”
“Thank you for taking care of our dog for 10 days! We will definitely use your services again next time we head out of town when we aren’t able to take her with us. Thank you for the videos and the updates while we were on our vacation too.”
About: I grew up on a small organic farm, where we raised everything from sheep and goats to rabbits and quail. We also had 5 cats and a dog, so caring for animals was a part of my everyday life from a young age. That experience has given me the confidence to care for pets with different personalities and needs. As I got older, my love for animals stayed with me. Whether your pet loves long walks, play time or wants someone to keep them company i’ll make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I recently graduated college at WWU and I am currently working part time, so I can easily fit around your schedule and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work Tuesday and Thursday and I am off in the afternoon. I live close to a few parks that are dog friendly and make a great walk. Inside, pets are free to roam throughout the house.
“Morgan is the BEST! She was so sweet and accommodating and a great communicator. She also sends sweet photos and check in’s which is so nice. Book her for you doggy care needs!”
“Great sitter, highly compassionate and you could tell the family loves animals. Gus came back home after a fun 2 days with Sara happy and looking forward to going back! Thank you :)”
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 large, fully fenced backyard with a high fence for added security. I also have a screened/mosquito-net door that allows me to keep the door open during the day while I work, giving the dogs easy access to fresh air and the yard while remaining safely enclosed. My desk has a full view of the backyard, so I can keep a close eye on everyone throughout the day. Of course, if you prefer that your dog not have access through the open screened door, I'm happy to keep the main door closed and follow whatever routine makes you most comfortable. 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 :)
