“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lenore was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Her dog Rook is friendly and very well mannered. She has a fenced yard and is conveniently located. Kept me up to date throughout Fozzi’s stay and I got tons of pictures/videos!!!”
“Michelle was overly flexible and provided an amazing overnight for my pup. Provided lots of updates so i could see how my anxious dog would handle the new environment. Provides lots of active time and made a trip to the lake that was very much welcome. Would recommend Michelle again in a heartbeat!”
“Susan took great care of our dogs. We appreciated her flexibility when we were delayed for hours beyond our planned arrival. She kept on top of medications and kept us apprised of changing pet health issues.”
“First we have used rover and it was awesome. Jennifer was super quick with her response/booking and dropping off ren was smooth and easy. Our kids loved the videos she sent each night of our dog playing and enjoying her time there. Would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“Shawn and family took such great care of Pertie. They were so patient and loving with her while she adjusted to a new place. Their dog Hazel and her got along great. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was so well looked after. Shawn gave us updates with pictures everyday and was quick to respond. We would absolutely leave her with Shawn again in the future.”
“Amazing care, and professionalism. Fievel was so loved and cared for, and his energetic playfulness was enjoyed instead of lamented. I knew he was safe, happy and he came home begrudgingly, quite literally crying for Nikhil as he was walking back into his home. 10/10.”
“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.”
“Leslie was wonderful! First time we’ve ever left our 2 senior chihuahuas with anyone other than family. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care! Thank you so much!”
“My dog Oly is a sketchy dog but she was happy under Chelsea's care. She had some playmate, it felt like I was dropping my child off at the daycare. Ready to play! Chelsea clipped Oly's nail for me too. Thanks for the extra attention.”
“Carl took such good care of my dog Harley while I was away for a week. I got updates the whole time and I can tell Harley felt really comfortable there (he’s a sensitive fella) and was well looked after when I picked him up. Thanks so much Carl!”
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
“Adrienne was communicative and transparent with some anxiety our dog was experiencing, and was flexibile and willing to go out of her way to accomodate her. She sent regular videos and pictures, letting us know our dog was happy and busy while we were out of town. Would recommend 100%!”

“Melissa has taken great drop-in care of our two Siamese cats while we were on two trips so far. She follows our care instructions and gives us timely updates with pictures and notes about what happened each visit. I will definitely use her again!”
“Liz is fantastic. She did a great job taking care of my 2 boys (cats). I love how accommodating she was when I had to keep changing the original dates I had originally booked. Thank you, Liz!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Braelyn was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she take care of my two cats in the way that I asked, but she went above and beyond to get to know each cat and what they like. Each visit, she catered to their likes and dislikes to make sure they were happy and got some meaningful enrichment and interaction. I highly recommend Braelyn and will be using her services for my future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been around cats for years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and boundaries. I’m comfortable with everything from playful, social cats to shy or independent ones, and I’m patient about earning their trust. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, and the little behavioral changes that can indicate when something isn’t quite right.
“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!”
“Sophia & The Rover service were all amazing. First time users and will be returning (to hopefully book Sophia) on our next out of town get away. Sophia had a connection with our cats that was immediate and left us with no worries while we were gone. Well taken care of with tons of pics which is one of the best features of this service. I can’t give a higher recommendation than to book Sophia through Rover to take care of your animals while you are away.”
“Morgan is always very communicative and really cares about Champ’s wellbeing! She already knows his mannerisms and can tell when he needs extra attention even after only seeing him a few times so far!”
About: Hi, I’m Alexys! As a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every pet I care for—including cats. I understand that each cat has a unique personality, whether they’re playful, independent, or prefer quiet companionship. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, feeding, litter box care, playtime, or simply a calm presence to keep your cat comfortable while you’re away. Your cat’s safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities.
About: My pet care experience began when I joined a humane society volunteer program where I worked for 6 years and became a shift lead. Later, I worked at a doggy daycare and overnight pet hotel. There I worked with specific dog’s needs and care as well as managed a group of up to 60 free-roaming dogs (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds) I have worked as a pet sitter and dog walker for most of my life, and I have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have also worked with horses for most of my life and in the summers I care for horses on a large farm. They are pretty much a bunch of big, funny, puppies. I am formally trained in: -Dog first aide and CPR -Dog, cat, and small animal body language and care -Dog Bathing -Basic obedience training I am currently a recent WWU graduate working a part-time job. Being in my gap year after school, most of my time is flexible and social. I’m looking to fill some of my free time working with cute pets! While I do have a good foundation in general pet care, pet safety, and dog behavior, I prioritize the individual needs of the dog. I may have experience with many pets but no one knows your dog better than you. Care, to me, is about open communication and making sure your pup is happy!
About: I've had pets my entire life, so as soon as I was old enough, I started dog sitting and walking. I love animals of all kind and can't wait to meet yours! The following is my technical experience in the field: Maggie (my own dog): Maggie was the third dog I've ever had and the first of which I was able to truly help with. We got her when she was a puppy and she's a Vizsla so she has always had boundless energy. I helped with her training when she was a puppy and she's pulled the leash her whole life so I have experience with that as well. Again, she has always been extremely energetic. In sum, Maggie has helped me learn how to: - Care for a puppy - Walk a dog that pulls - Entertain a dog with boundless energy Kona My professional experience with dog walking and sitting was with an elder dog named Kona. I worked with him for just about 4 years part time. Kona had two parents who both worked full time jobs and had a horse at another location so I would go over when they were gone all day and spend time with him, take him on short walks, and occasionally to the dog park. Kona really helped me to understand the intricacies of working with an elder dog, and although he's gone now, I think about the time I spent with him regularly. Kona helped me learn how to: - Care for an elder dog - Stimulate a dog with limited ability _ Read a dogs body language and have patience with them I am currently in full time school and not working in a formal setting. I am unavailable most mid-days however I'm completely free on the weekends. The following is a schedule of my open availability: Monday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Tuesday: 6:00am-11:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Wednesday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Thursday: 6:00am-11:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Friday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Saturday: 6:00am-10:00pm Sunday: 6:00am-10:00pm As a pre-note, I wanted to say that I have an official work resume with references if you would like to see that before we meet in person. Dog Walking I do not have any supplies of my own however I have used many different types of leash and harness in the past. I am physically able and comfortable walking long or short distances at varying paces. On longer walks, I will carry water and dog bags with my the entire time. Pet Sitting I will maintain your pets schedule and follow any guidelines of being in your space. I do not offer dog sitting in my home as I live in a building with three other people, I would be more than happy to watch your dog in your home. I am open to meeting your dog with you there before the official sitting date as I know some dogs are sensitive to new people. I am comfortable feeding and entertaining your pup as I have been around dogs my entire life. I will also be aware of any emergency contact information that would be necessary in an emergency. House Sitting I will ensure the home is secure, and perform basic tasks like collecting mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness. I understand that I will be in your space and am open to following any rules you might have for your home.
“Brea is amazing! She initially came by for a meet and greet and we knew immediately she was the one to care for our kitties. Each visit she shared photos and her affection for our cats with us. We truly felt they were receiving the very best care while we were away. We will most definitely call on Brea again. “Thanks Brea””

“Garfunkel had a blast meeting Jennifer and spending her days playing with her and the other pups outside! Garfunkel is typically quite anxious, but Jennifer quickly put her at ease.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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 :) .”
About: I have always had dogs! We live in the Silver Beach neighborhood and have recently lost our sweet little poodle and now that our children are grown and gone, I feel I can provide a safe, reliable, and fun space for dog parents who need a sitter. I am a homemaker who enjoys, hiking, and biking and being in the outdoors. I travel to see our son who is in college at UNC but for the most part am here in Bellingham and available for dog sitting. I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with lots of trails near my house for off leash or if it’s more important, leashed walks. Also, I love doggie cuddles.
“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.”
About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.
About: I have been pet sitting for the a couple years, caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of settings. I have experience with multi-dog households, including overnight stays for over a week as well as shorter visits, holiday stays, play dates and walks. My experience includes walks, drop in care, feeding and meal routines, administering medications, avoiding pet allergies and of course playtime! I have dog sat for puppies less than two months old to senior dogs with mobility issues who need extra care, diets and sensitivity. I have grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, so I am very comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities. I genuinely love animals and prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I am currently out of school for the summer, working part time and focusing on side work, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I have open availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable care in my client’s home by following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, giving any medications as directed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation through walks, play, and positive interaction. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I give clients updates and photos during my stay, and always leave a summary of my time with their pets at the end!
About: Both my husband and I have grown up with dogs and love spending our time with them. For the past five years, we’ve regularly cared for friends' and neighbours pups while they’re away on vacation. We have two friendly dogs of our own (check out their photos!) and would love to give your furry family member a comfortable, fun-filled stay while you're away We work from home and we have 3 parents at home and we all like cuddling and playing with furry babies as well so our full house brings joy and company for furries that visit us We have a fenced backyard and we have an 2 dogs and they are friendly and playful with all the other dogs, we also have a playpen area in the back for the dogs
“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.”

“Katherine was amazing!!! She took such good care of my dog and I could tell by the photos she took that he had so much fun on their walks. Highly recommend and can’t wait to book with her in the future, so glad I found her!! :) great communication and so friendly!!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs professionally for the last 4 years. Have 3 years of pet CPR/first aid training. In my 4 years I’ve spent lots of time researching the best ways to bond with each breed using play and their natural instincts. I love working with the lower confident pets and helping them find their way out of their shells. I’m currently not working, doing dog training on the side. I am very open for availability for holidays, weekends, in home stays or even just to take your pup on a fun day trip! I live on 2 acres not fenced in. I utilize long lines and leashes for potty breaks and allowing pets to run and play. I have 6 very social dogs in the house who are open and ready to play if your pup is open to it, I have lots of experience in introducing dogs and cats to each other in positive ways. I love to take my dogs on hikes and would love to get out with some new buddies as well if they are up for the challenge!
“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.”
“Kendra was wonderful with my Collie Konrad greeting Bruce at the door with happy smiles. I would recommend Kendra for her loving happy care with Konrad. She has the best treats.”
“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 grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!
“Our new-to-us 12 1/2 year old Havanese rescue did very well with Michael’s care during our first afternoon outing since we adopted him. We have already scheduled another longer stay next month. We really appreciate all the dog friendly security and thoughtful enrichment activities Michael provides. Charlie was the better for the experience! Highly recommended.”

“Anna was so helpful, consistent and caring when we needed someone trustworthy and patient to walk our dog. She listened to all of our worries and wishes and took great care of him. We are so happy that our sweet but stubborn Boxer/Pitbull has a new friend!”
“Troy is awesome. He was very flexible and accepting of our dogs' needs and ours. He is clearly very passionate about spending his time with animals and loves dogs. We will continue to use him for regular, ongoing walks.”
“Morgan was amazing with Gia! Gia has a new friend now. It was really last minute and Morgan was very accommodating and helpful! Would (and am) book 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: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child- my dad rescued my dog, rosie, when I was 9 years old. I know all of the responsibilities that come with raising a furry friend, and I will gladly face any challenges in order to improve my skills and service. I am honored to work alongside you, as well as your dog. I work part-time, as I attend high school. I am avaliable 5-7am and 4-12pm on weeknights. I am also avaliable to spend the night, too. I care for dogs, as cats are not yet in my field of experience. I am able to run, walk, feed, love and give attention to your fur babies as needed. In addition, I am prepared for any mess and will always leave the house tidied and cleaned up.
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: Hi there! I'm Jessie, and I'm absolutely passionate about animals. Currently, my work allows me to operate from home as a photographer and social media manager, with the added perk of teaching yoga once a week. My love for pets runs deep; I had the privilege of sharing 15 wonderful years with a small toy poodle who was my constant companion and the love of my life. I miss her dearly, which is why I've decided to get into pet sitting! I genuinely adore all types of dogs, as long as they are on the quieter side, don't have a tendency to nip, and are house-trained. If your furry friend is calm and friendly, you can count on me to take them for leisurely walks, provide regular check-ins, and ensure they are well-fed and cared for during my stay. Your pet's comfort and well-being are my top priorities. I can't wait to shower them with the same love and attention I gave to my beloved poodle. Let's arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get to know each other better and discuss how I can provide the best care for your furry family member. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon! Best regards, Jessie My schedule is flexible and open at the moment! I work part-time and can choose my hours so I'm happy to cater to your needs. I will have to care for pets in my client's home since my roommate already has a few cats. I am happy to come to your home as needed.

Kona helped me learn how to: - Care for an elder dog - Stimulate a dog with limited ability _ Read a dogs body language and have patience with them I am currently in full time school and not working in a formal setting. I am unavailable most mid-days however I'm completely free on the weekends. The following is a schedule of my open availability: Monday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Tuesday: 6:00am-11:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Wednesday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Thursday: 6:00am-11:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Friday: 6:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm to 10:00pm Saturday: 6:00am-10:00pm Sunday: 6:00am-10:00pm As a pre-note, I wanted to say that I have an official work resume with references if you would like to see that before we meet in person. Dog Walking I do not have any supplies of my own however I have used many different types of leash and harness in the past. I am physically able and comfortable walking long or short distances at varying paces. On longer walks, I will carry water and dog bags with my the entire time. Pet Sitting I will maintain your pets schedule and follow any guidelines of being in your space. I do not offer dog sitting in my home as I live in a building with three other people, I would be more than happy to watch your dog in your home. I am open to meeting your dog with you there before the official sitting date as I know some dogs are sensitive to new people. I am comfortable feeding and entertaining your pup as I have been around dogs my entire life. I will also be aware of any emergency contact information that would be necessary in an emergency. House Sitting I will ensure the home is secure, and perform basic tasks like collecting mail, watering plants, and maintaining cleanliness. I understand that I will be in your space and am open to following any rules you might have for your home.

“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!”
“Lenore was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Her dog Rook is friendly and very well mannered. She has a fenced yard and is conveniently located. Kept me up to date throughout Fozzi’s stay and I got tons of pictures/videos!!!”
“Michelle was overly flexible and provided an amazing overnight for my pup. Provided lots of updates so i could see how my anxious dog would handle the new environment. Provides lots of active time and made a trip to the lake that was very much welcome. Would recommend Michelle again in a heartbeat!”
“First we have used rover and it was awesome. Jennifer was super quick with her response/booking and dropping off ren was smooth and easy. Our kids loved the videos she sent each night of our dog playing and enjoying her time there. Would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“Shawn and family took such great care of Pertie. They were so patient and loving with her while she adjusted to a new place. Their dog Hazel and her got along great. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was so well looked after. Shawn gave us updates with pictures everyday and was quick to respond. We would absolutely leave her with Shawn again in the future.”
“Amazing care, and professionalism. Fievel was so loved and cared for, and his energetic playfulness was enjoyed instead of lamented. I knew he was safe, happy and he came home begrudgingly, quite literally crying for Nikhil as he was walking back into his home. 10/10.”
“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.”
“My dog Oly is a sketchy dog but she was happy under Chelsea's care. She had some playmate, it felt like I was dropping my child off at the daycare. Ready to play! Chelsea clipped Oly's nail for me too. Thanks for the extra attention.”
“Carl took such good care of my dog Harley while I was away for a week. I got updates the whole time and I can tell Harley felt really comfortable there (he’s a sensitive fella) and was well looked after when I picked him up. Thanks so much Carl!”
“Sofia was great! She sent us photos all the time of our dog which we loved seeing. It seemed like Milo had a great time and we really appreciate Sofia watching him over the holidays.”
“Adrienne was communicative and transparent with some anxiety our dog was experiencing, and was flexibile and willing to go out of her way to accomodate her. She sent regular videos and pictures, letting us know our dog was happy and busy while we were out of town. Would recommend 100%!”
“Great second stay. We'll keep using Cade as needed. Liva is a happy girl there and well cared for. I feel at ease and unworried while we're gone. Cade is easy to communicate with and keeps us updated with messages and pictures. Thank you!”
“Erin is a fantastic sitter for Oliver! He came home soooo happy and I got such great photos from her while I was gone. Oliver surely can’t wait to hang out with Erin and her family again soon!”
About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.
“Gabriella was fantastic to deal with very accommodating and the girls had an absolute riot with her! 10/10 will be a repeat client and if you care about your dog you will too”
“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: *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 :)
