“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”
“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!”
“So thankful to have found Brittany! I wanted someone who had professional dog experience, not just someone who “just loves dogs”. I have a Doberman and a 17 year old schnauzer so having someone that can handle a strong breed as well as knowledgeable with seniors was very important to me. She was more then willing to meet up for a few walks and plan a few daycare days before our dogs stayed for a long weekend, I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Sophia C. took great care of our doodle pup, Earl. Really appreciate her care during some hot weather. Sophia sent pictures of some of the outings, which we loved. Good communication on drop off and pick up too”
“Shawn had our Ophelia for the weekend, he kept us informed with how she was doing and sent us photos. Ophelia had a great time on her walks and was lived and snuggled! Thankyou so much Shawn for taking such amazing care of our precious girl!!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was very easy to work with and went above and beyond with our doggy. She treated her as her own, and kept us updated with photos and text messages.”
“Connie was absolutely incredible with our dog, Buddy! From the moment we met her, we knew he was in loving and caring hands. Buddy adores both Connie and her husband, and it was so heartwarming to see how much love and affection they gave him during his stay. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Honestly, Buddy looked so happy and comfortable that sometimes it seemed like he would have happily stayed with them instead of coming home! Knowing that Buddy was being cared for with such kindness allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. Connie treated him like family, and that means everything to us. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Connie, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“We boarded our 2-yr old anxious Beagle with Sobna for the 2nd time now and have no complaints. She took great care of him, sent updates regularly and he got a lot of outdoor time in her large fenced-in yard. Gabbar thanks you for the fun, 4 days he spent with you and your pup. - Poornima.”
“My dog Koda seemed content on Leslie’s farm. I messaged her to check-in on him and she responded promptly to tell me what Koda was up to! I would rebook with her again! I don’t let many people watch my dog Koda but Koda seemed happy and as though he enjoyed his time with her.”
About: Pet Care Experience Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including my own two small dogs. My daily routine includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and providing plenty of love and attention.

Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and personalized care throughout the day. I offer in-home daycare and overnight boarding in a safe, loving, and dependable environment. My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels right at home while you’re away.

“Mamba loved her stay with Nikhil & his wife! We really appreciate that he kept updating us with pics and videos! We’re also glad he was flexible to do a meet up introduction with Mamba before her stay. As this is our first time booking with Rover we didn’t know what to expect. Nikhil exceeded our expectations! He’s really good at making our dog feel comfortable especially since she doesn’t really like men.”
“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!”
“Winnie had the best time with Wei and Long! They sent so many wonderful pictures that I had no doubt my baby was being well taken care of. I have already booked another stay with them! Would highly recommended!”
“This was the first time we left our dog behind to go on a trip. Jielei and Tony made everything from booking to drop off as easy as possible. We loved the care they showed toward our dog indlcuding regular updates of him playing.”
“We are happy with the care Asha received from Morgan, Russel, and their family. I was a bit nervous at first when I heard that our dogs were not getting along initially, but after she settled into her new environment, Asha became buddies with Millie. Morgan was very quick to respond to my messages, and she sent regular updates with photos and videos. We would be very confident leaving Asha with this lovely family again. 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day!

About: Update: Based in Bellingham Washington, currently looking to board/housesit for aniamals in Bellingham. I am a full time dog trainer and animal caretaker. I am also available for hire for canine training. I am in the process of receiving my national professional degree for Large and Small Animal Accupressure. I am also available for hire on the northern coast of Oregon, available for animal sitting in-home. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for neighborhood pups, giving them daily walks and love which fueled my admiration for them. I love spending time with animals because of how much we learn from each other. I spent summers working on a farm where I learned to work with all animals - great and small. From draft horses to cattle to chinchillas to fish to llamas to birds and bunny rabbits - I have worked with many types of animals. With dogs, I have cared for and train dogs from dachshunds to Great Pyrenees and so many breeds in between. I have worked with animals for over 15 years time as a caretaker. I volunteer at an animal shelter where I get to work with lots of different breeds. I have experience working with dogs which need a little bit of extra help on their manners or that have come from an abusive situation, creating a calm and trusting atmosphere for them where they can thrive. I find that not just do I love spending time with animals but that I grow as a person working with them. I am also available for pet sitting of animals other then dogs, as well.

About: Hi, I’m Alexys! I’m a registered nurse with a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I currently have three dogs—Envy, our Great Dane; Jasper, a red heeler/Great Pyrenees mix; and Hank, a chihuahua mix—so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My experience with a variety of breeds allows me to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m happy to provide a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and care. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring sitter—or even a friendly playmate for your dog—I would love to help! My schedule is relatively open, I am flexible to find a way to help you and your pet! I am frequently walking my pets and happy to have your pet tag along with our pack! If your dog fits in well with our dogs I am happy to have them over for a play date during the day, we do not have a fenced yard.
“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.”
About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had pets as part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience raising and training reactive dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they love adventure, prefer a quiet routine, or need a little extra understanding. When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident they're being treated like one of my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while following your instructions and routines closely. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks, allowing your pet to stay in the familiar environment of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. During every visit, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals (if requested), and lots of care and affection. I currently do not offer pet boarding or doggy daycare because I have a reactive dog at home, and I want to ensure the safest and least stressful experience for all pets involved. You can count on me to treat your home with respect, follow your care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.
“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”
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!
About: I'm in college, studying to be a Veterinary Technician. I've had many types of animals and I've been caring for animals as a way to make money for several years- predominantly dogs. I am free on weekends. I'm usually free on Wednesday and Monday. I'm available at 1pm on Tuesdays, and I'm available on Fridays and Thursdays after 4pm. My cat is indoors, and I make a great deal of effort to keep her that way (she tries to escape a lot). I make sure to keep her happy and entertained, just as I do with my client's pets. When I am in a client's home I ensure adequate care and their animal's safety.
“Michael was great! He came over to meet our pup Marley ahead of time, so she would know him when he came to take her out. Great communication and sent pics of her during their walk. Will definitely use his services again!”
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 8 and all my dogs have shown great love towards me because I give them the full love back. I am known in the family as the family caretaker when our dogs get old and need special attention. The reason I take care of my dogs when they get older because I have the patience, attentions, and most of all, love in supporting them through their elderly stage. All pets deserve the best and I am more than happy to provide that! I am currently taking the year off from work to travel the world but in between my trips I have a lot of free time and feel it can be better spent taking care of pets while other people can enjoy trips or another activity that requires them to leave their pet at home. I have a 5-year old Havanese and I take him on walks daily, I make sure he is bathe at least once a month, and try to take him on as many trips so I can, so he can enjoy the world as much I as I do.
About: I have a passion for rescue and believe pets deserve all the second and third chances! I grew up with cats and as soon as I moved out, I adopted a rescue cat who was destined to be an only child in her forever home. Now with 3 rescue cats and one young rescue lab with a past, our home is at full capacity, but I love meeting new furry characters through pet sitting. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for nearly 2 decades. Recently we were in a bind to find someone in our circle to care for our rowdy pup, so we turned to the Rover community and immediately found a fantastic local dog walker. I love that Rover provides a place for pet parents to connect and I’m now in the local network of pet sitters as well! I believe every dog is an individual and should be respected as such. Every challenging behavior simply reflects a need. I know how tough it can be to find a good match for a rescue pup with a past, and I’d love to provide help as a sitter/walker who is comfortable navigating challenging behaviors! I love a cat who hisses at strangers, and I love a pup who has enough wild energy to power a small city. I currently work full time with a somewhat flexible schedule. Usually not available on Mondays. I’m typically available for pet care mornings and evenings, and sometimes afternoons. Feel free to reach out and let me know what you’re looking for! I have a small 3bd home with a small fenced in yard. I live in a densely populated neighborhood with many dogs, and with a highly reactive pup I am very safety conscious and accustomed to providing vigilant supervision both when my dog goes out on his own to potty or while on walks.
“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've had all kinds of pets from Henrietta the beta fish I tended to in middle school, Poppy an adorable Havanese dog that I cared for from ages 9-21, Rice Krispie a pit bull mix and Misty a mix, both who I fostered in college, and last but certainly not least Jinx and Binx two dapper tuxedo cats I lived with fall through winter quarter of my senior year! Even as a child, I've found myself drawn to animals and would love to show some affection to your pet! I currently have very open and flexible availability, allowing me to tailor my schedule to you and your pet’s needs. I am willing to work with any availability spots suggested. I have a large, fenced yard with plenty of space to play and explore. My neighborhood is pet-friendly with plenty of bushes and trees to mark as territory. A lovely location and my extensive experience caring for cats and dogs will be perfect for your pet!
About: Hi there! My name is Alexandra, and aside from growing up with multiple pets in the house, I started petsitting on my own around 2017. I have taken care of a countless number of dogs with a variety of needs (experience with two diabetic dog as well), many cats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, a lovebird, and plenty more small animals. Between 2019 and 2021 I volunteered at the animal humane society working hands on with dogs and their prospective adopters, and returned back in September 2025 as an animal care technician. I am very confident in my skills with dogs from all types of temperaments and age ranges. I just moved to Bellingham and have my next month open with lots of flexibility! In the fall I’ll be working part time on top of completing my degree online, regardless my schedule is very flexible and open. As a cat mom and past dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pets. I’m very flexible and open to doing new things that make you most comfortable as a pet parent and can make your pet feel most at ease and happy!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of pets for neighbors, friends, coworkers and everyone in between for about 6 years now. From rats, dogs, cats, reptiles, I’ve done it all to make sure everyone’s favorite animals are safe and happy. Though I work full-time, I’m work from home. There will be days I have to travel out of town, but for the most part I’ll be home. Anytime after 1-2pm I’m completely free for pet care. At home, I have a very sweet dog that roams around the house and two curious cats that generally keep to themselves unless they’re hungry. There’s a baby gate up that just keeps the older cat away from eating the younger one’s food.
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.

I'll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure you receive regular updates while you're away.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with 3 dogs and taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I have taken care of dogs that have cancer and other health issues so I am comfortable with giving medications and working with challenges that may arise with any dog! I live with a cat that I take care of daily and when I am back home, I am the fulltime caregiver for my 3 dogs. I know a dog's routine and what they need to happy and healthy, and I work around their schedule with anything I have going on. In your home I will respect it and treat it like my own. Any care instructions such as kenneling or a bedtime routine I will follow exactly as they are laid out for me.

“Deborah/Mark- were excellent with Texas and had great communication with me through the entire stay. Lots of walks and play time with taking Texas to the dog park several times. The home was very clean and homely.”
“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!”
“So thankful to have found Brittany! I wanted someone who had professional dog experience, not just someone who “just loves dogs”. I have a Doberman and a 17 year old schnauzer so having someone that can handle a strong breed as well as knowledgeable with seniors was very important to me. She was more then willing to meet up for a few walks and plan a few daycare days before our dogs stayed for a long weekend, I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Sophia C. took great care of our doodle pup, Earl. Really appreciate her care during some hot weather. Sophia sent pictures of some of the outings, which we loved. Good communication on drop off and pick up too”
“Shawn had our Ophelia for the weekend, he kept us informed with how she was doing and sent us photos. Ophelia had a great time on her walks and was lived and snuggled! Thankyou so much Shawn for taking such amazing care of our precious girl!!”
“Lenore was great, she was very attentive and sent us lots of videos of our dog playing with hers. She took our dog on lots of walks and played fetch with hers in the backyard. Her dog was also very friendly and played lots with ours, would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”
“Mamba loved her stay with Nikhil & his wife! We really appreciate that he kept updating us with pics and videos! We’re also glad he was flexible to do a meet up introduction with Mamba before her stay. As this is our first time booking with Rover we didn’t know what to expect. Nikhil exceeded our expectations! He’s really good at making our dog feel comfortable especially since she doesn’t really like men.”
“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!”
“This was the first time we left our dog behind to go on a trip. Jielei and Tony made everything from booking to drop off as easy as possible. We loved the care they showed toward our dog indlcuding regular updates of him playing.”
“We are happy with the care Asha received from Morgan, Russel, and their family. I was a bit nervous at first when I heard that our dogs were not getting along initially, but after she settled into her new environment, Asha became buddies with Millie. Morgan was very quick to respond to my messages, and she sent regular updates with photos and videos. We would be very confident leaving Asha with this lovely family again. 😊”
“Brigitta provided a great and welcoming home for my fur babies. Anyone who has had huskies knows how challenging they can be with such high energy and propensity to escape. My dogs absolutely loved spending a weekend at Brigitta's home with her children and dogs. I will be bringing my beloved pups back anytime I may need a sitter!”
“Michelle and her family were incredibly accommodating, updated us regularly, and paid close attention to the restrictions our elderly pup had. We got so many photos of Coco on walks, living her best life. It made it much easier to feel at ease, knowing Coco was in good hands. Zeke and Jax were great friends to Coco. Thank you!!”
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 :)
“5/5 stars over and over again! Elizabeth and Guillaume are such a special couple and we were so blessed to have found them to watch Dewie. Their property is idyllic for dogs to romp and play. Their care for animals is genuine and showed through when we picked Dewie up and we could see in his face he didn't want to leave! All around a wonderful experience and we'd recommend them with the highest regard ❤️ Thanks Elizabeth and Guillaume!”
“I want to start by saying that I am not a typical review'er but I am completely blown away with the care that was given to Goose. The amount of physical activity that was provided to Goose and the other dogs that were there was completly mind blowing. I have NEVER left my dog with anyone other then Doggie Day care building up for our trip to be away. Goose came back from her time away COMPLETLY stable and not even a single ounce of stress and she was there for 5 days. We have found our care giver for life!”
“Carl was so great with Frankie, I am so happy to have found him to watch her when we are away. He sent photo updates and she looked so happy! Such a relief to have found someone where she feels right at home and is treated like family 🥰”
“We had a great experience with Randona. She took care of Nala very well. She was very prompt in her response and shared regular updates with pictures and videos. She took Nala for long walks and has a very good dog park nearby, which is very helpful. We were initially anxious as Nala had never stayed with cats, but, she was perfectly fine :). Highly recommended !”
“Daisy and Paul were very responsive and helpful through the booking process. They have a really nice set up for dog boarding and sent alot of pictures of Bruno throughout his stay having fun with the other dogs! I wouldn't hesitate to have Bruno stay with them again.”
