“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Our fur goblin Vivi had a fabulous stay with Kara and her pup Doc! Vivi is an energetic gal who loves play and walks, and had a good time with the toy basket at Kara’s place. We appreciated Kara’s updates, photos, and even a video of Vivi and Doc playing together. We felt very comfortable leaving Vivi in Kara’s care.”
“Jennifer was so kind and patient with our young pup ! Very communicative, sending daily pics, and flexible with drop off and pick up. Awesome first experience !”
“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! :)”
“Elaine and her family were awesome at caring for our 16 year old dachshund, Harley. She is quick to communicate and provided daily updates and photos which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!”
“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! ??”
“Sheri did a great job taking care of my German Shepard. I really liked that she sent pictures and told me what she was up to during the day. She was also really flexible with my schedule and had a nice backyard for Adal to play. Her other dog was very nice too. ”
“Kris was so helpful! All questions I asked were answered promptly and clearly, and while Aniol my nearly two year old dog stayed at Kris's family home, he seemed to have a safe and comfortable experience! I was so grateful for updates in words and pictures! We will certainly bring Aniol to Kris's again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
“Angela was SO amazing. She was referred to me by my neighbor and did NOT disappoint. She was quick to reply to any and all messages and was super friendly and accommodating. She was picking up my neighbors dogs the same day and offered to pick mine up to which saved me so much time! She was great about updating me on my pup while we were out of town and even took initiative and gave him a bath when he seemed to be a little itchy. 10/10 recommend and will be booking her in the future! Thank you so much Angela and family! Ripley had the best time!”
“Kelsey was great! We boarded our high anxiety, year and a half old, poodle rescue with her for four days. He’s a lot! She stayed connected with us and she was patient with him. She gave me some great advice when working with him to help him overcome his fears of new people and experiences.”
“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 :)”
“Katie is awesome! She has a whole house of animal lovers so your companion will always have someone to cuddle and play with. She was willing to take my puppy, Toulouse, last minute on two occasions in one week! She was great about sending updates through texts and pictures too. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Cynthia was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She sent us lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. She truly goes above and beyond. She even gave our dogs a bath before we picked them up, and while they were there, they got to join in celebrating her dog’s birthday! She did the cutest birthday photo shoot and even sent our pups home with little goodie bags. Such a fun and thoughtful surprise! It’s clear Cynthia genuinely loves dogs and treats every one like family. Our pups came home happy, clean, and loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery. She took wonderful care of our Great Dane, Hazel, while we were away. She is reliable, communicative, and caring and went above and beyond to make sure Hazel was happy and comfortable. She even sent us regular updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
“Samantha was great with Beau. We were gone for a week and felt like we could enjoy our trip knowing that Beau was in good hands with Samantha and her girls. Will definitely book again knowing that our dog was well taken care of.”
“It was our first time using Rover! Sheena was super kind & helpful with the process … she made sure her doggies would get along with Kuzco before we even booked anything! Thankfully, the 3 of them ended up playing well together at the doggie park & it solidified our decision to board him for two weeks with her family :) Kuzco came back to us super healthy and happy from his stay with Sheena! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a great experience & we would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many cats since I was a little kid. I’ve also had my fair share of kittens and old cats.

“She went above and beyond to help out with not only my animals but my garden too! Her communication was excellent and she was kind and genuine. So grateful I found a great sitter!”
“Amber and her darling children are great! Our kitten was slowly introduced to the family and quickly became part of the family. Amber communicated well and sent photos and videos.”
“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.”
“Karolina did a great job dropping by to check on and care for our critters. She even made friends with our very shy outdoor kitty. We felt confident leaving them in her care.”
“Lindsay was so great with my kitties. During our meet and greet, she asked several great questions that impressed me, such as where each cat generally gets their wet food, so she could keep their routine as cloae to normal as she could. She dropped in daily and made sure everything was full and the litter boxes emptied. She also took care of making sure my old man got his thyroid pills and sent lots of pictures so I didn't miss them quite as much as normal. I will definitely use her next time I leave and recommend her.”

I’m happy to care for feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, medications, playtime, grooming, and plenty of affection (on their terms, of course!). I’m also very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, and overall demeanor, so I’ll let you know if something seems unusual.

“Donna was fantastic staying in our home with our cat Jimmy for 4 days. She communicated with us well, and we returned to a happy kitty and a very clean home. Our needy Velcro kitty got all the attention he wanted--I don't think Donna ever even left the house. We will definitely use Donna again!”

“Jennifer took such great care of my dog Ziggy. She even gave him a bath and clipped his nails. We will definitely be using her again! We highly recommend Jennifer!”
“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!”
“Elaine took the best care of my girl. Sadie is old, overweight, and not in the best of health so having peace of mind that she’s well taken care of and having a fun day makes me feel less stressed about leaving her for the day.”
“Morgan was absolutely wonderful with Vader! You could tell he loved her. She walked him frequently and gave him lots of love and us lots of pics. Would absolutely highly recommend!!!”
“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!”
“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 have recently moved from Nashville to Bellingham area. I have fostered over 60 dogs with Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue. I have dealt with multiple breeds as well as puppies and especially seniors with medical issues. I currently have a foster pug so I can house sit if I can bring her along or drop in. Your pups can also stay at my house. I work remotely so I can house sit, pet sit at anytime as long as I'm not going to be out of town or already booked. I will follow closely the directions given by the client. I have had dogs and I have competed internationally in horse competitions. I understand how people are particular about their pets.
“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.”
“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”
“Samantha and her family were great! Very welcoming and accommodating to my older dog quirks. The puppy really enjoyed playing with her friendly dog and it was a great socializing experience for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her without hesitation.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the last 4 years. I’m new on rover after just moving to WA. I’ve watched family, friends and neighbors pets and I really enjoy getting to know other pets. I have a full time job working until about 4pm on weekdays and off weekends. I’m free after 4pm everyday and all day on weekends. I also have a dog of my own. I have a very friendly dog who will keep your pet so company. I am very respectful of clients pets and homes and living spaces!
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: I grew up with golden retrievers and dobermans, and have a profound love for all dogs. I took a one year online and in person course for basic dog obedience training with Animal Behavior College. I enjoy taking my pups on hikes, swimming, and to parks where they can play. I also have chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, rabbits, and geese! Animals are truly my passion, and my goal is to make my house feel like their home away from home. I'm a stay at home mom (I was previously a HS teacher), and my days are typically spent outdoors with my dogs and kiddos (weather permitting). So my schedule is very flexible! I have a fully fenced yard, and a house with plenty of room for the dogs to romp. I also have a designated area for my cats, whenever they’re wanting to get away from the dogs, so for in home pet sitting, your cat(s) can have a safe place to decompress and not be overwhelmed with dogs. I can easily crate dogs if needed, but my dogs usually have free run of the house, and your dog(s) can too! My dogs get along with animals of all kinds, and are very gentle and friendly.

“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”

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! :)”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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”
“Kelsey was great! We boarded our high anxiety, year and a half old, poodle rescue with her for four days. He’s a lot! She stayed connected with us and she was patient with him. She gave me some great advice when working with him to help him overcome his fears of new people and experiences.”

“Katie is awesome! She has a whole house of animal lovers so your companion will always have someone to cuddle and play with. She was willing to take my puppy, Toulouse, last minute on two occasions in one week! She was great about sending updates through texts and pictures too. I’ll definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Avery. She took wonderful care of our Great Dane, Hazel, while we were away. She is reliable, communicative, and caring and went above and beyond to make sure Hazel was happy and comfortable. She even sent us regular updates and pictures, which put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Avery to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“It was our first time using Rover! Sheena was super kind & helpful with the process … she made sure her doggies would get along with Kuzco before we even booked anything! Thankfully, the 3 of them ended up playing well together at the doggie park & it solidified our decision to board him for two weeks with her family :) Kuzco came back to us super healthy and happy from his stay with Sheena! We couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was a great experience & we would definitely use her again!”
