“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“Heather and her daughter were absolutely amazing with our small dog Max . I felt he was in the very best hands . I had regular pictures of Max. Max was never left alone . He always had companionship and love . Her dog was very gentle and played with Max very well ! They became best friends. He even came home with a new toy ! We will absolutely be using Heather again for all our dog sitting needs ! Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”
“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.”
“Carl is simply amazing! He sent lots of pictures and was very flexible as I had to reschedule a couple times. He took our puppup for lots of walk as well. I’d definitely leave our Kobe with him again.”
“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!”
About: I've cared for dogs for over 20 years of my own. I am a big dog lover and enjoy the love and joy they bring. I have groomed and clipped nails for my own dogs. My family loves going for walks and playing at the park by our house which is a perfect place for a dog to run and play! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools her two boys. So there will be lots of time to play and cuddle with your little four legged friend. We love to be outside enjoying fresh air. We have a fenced backyard for bathroom breaks and tine outside. We have space for a crate if needed or we can place a bed in our room for your pup. We want to accommodate what's best for your dog so we're flexible in thoughts and ideas.
“Julie and family were fabulous pet sitters for our Stella!! They were very accommodating of our changing schedules and were always very welcome and friendly to us and Stella.”
“Jennifer and Al are lovely. They respond very quickly and sent me lots of updates and photos. Really appreciate how accommodating of Dory's special diet and reactivity they are. Dory seemed to have a good time chasing their son's RC car!”
“THANK YOU LESLIE! My little golden doodle had the best time at your ranch, she came back with a huge smile and then immediately fell asleep in my lap after a long fun weekend. We appreciate you.”
“Poppy loves Denise! I am able to go away on vacation knowing that my precious girl will be loved and cared for. Denise always goes above and beyond to make sure Poppy is comfortable and happy. Denise is amazing!”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with Shari and Richard. I had asked if they would do a meet and greet, they happily agreed and as soon as we got to their place I could tell my usually very nervous pup felt comfortable. When I dropped my pup off for his stay he just jumped out of his carrier and walked into their house. Shari and Richard provided updates and pics while I was away. I could tell my pup was happy and enjoying himself. They took such good care of him. I am super grateful to have found them as its really hard for me to leave my dog anywhere. I will certainly be booking them again.”
“Alex did a great job watching Georgie. She was very good with she, attentive, and reliable. Georgie was well cared for and everything went smoothly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter.”
“Wei & Long were wonderful hosts to our doggy. She had so much fun running around in their big backyard and they accommodated to her high energy levels. Will definitely rebook again and it’s so great that Wei and Long gave us regular updates.”

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.
“Emerson was so phenomenal with our kitties — they loved her and we had peace of mind knowing they were getting lots of playtime and love while we were away. She was so attentive and communicative, and she would be a wonderful presence for anyone’s fur babies. 10/10 would recommend and book again!”
“Jayde took wonderful care of our kitties! She was responsive during all stages of the process from booking, to the meet and greet, to the stay. We got updates daily, and I was able to relax during our trip knowing they were being cared for and played with. Our cats have very different personalities, and Jayde was great with them all. She gave Millie pets, played with Aria, and let Curio come to her if he wanted to. The house was clean when we returned, which is always nice coming home from a trip, and the cats were happy. We will definitely be booking with Jayde again!”
“Aline does a tremendous job caring for our cat, who has more needs than most. Communication is always great and she is always very flexible. We are always happy to have Aline care for our cat!”
About: I've cared for many different cats and am comfortable with kittens, adult cats, and seniors. I have experience administering medication, handling shy or less social pets, and following complex care instructions. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply have their space respected, I'm happy to provide the care they need!
About: What sets me apart is my patient, attentive, and compassionate approach to caring for every cat as an individual. I understand that cats have unique personalities and comfort levels, so I take the time to let them warm up at their own pace while respecting their routines, boundaries, and preferences. Whether your cat is playful and social or quiet and independent, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Although I have a mild cat allergy, it has never prevented me from providing excellent care. I'm comfortable feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, administering routine care as directed, playing, grooming if requested, and giving cats the attention and affection they enjoy. I manage my allergy responsibly so I can focus on providing reliable, high-quality care for your furry family member. I'm also comfortable caring for cats of all ages, from energetic kittens who need interactive play and enrichment to senior cats who benefit from a calmer pace, extra patience, and close attention to their routines. I believe clear communication with owners and personalized care are the foundation of a positive experience, and I strive to ensure every cat feels secure, respected, and well cared for in your absence.

“Baxter was very excited to see Heather again after our meet and greet a couple of months ago - he led me right to her door! Her dog and mine were good playmates and company.

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.

“We are so lucky to have found Aline to walk our Benji boy every week ❤️ Aline is so kind, communicative, and flexible with schedule changes. Her updates to me about Benji are filled with many cute pictures of Benny which help keep me at ease knowing he’s having lots of fun and being taken care of. Aline does not spare any details making sure I know where they walked, how his poop was, and if he behaved 😊 She also has experience with reactive dogs, which was an amazing bonus to us because Benji can be reactive around other big dogs— so we know he’s in good experienced hands with someone that knows how to handle his spicy side 🤣 We are thankful for Aline for taking care of our boy! ❤️”

Your dog and your family will thank you!”
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.
“Jayde was just great! She is affectionate with my dog, confident in her abilities, and a pleasure to work with. My rescue dog cuddled up to her immediately in our meet and greet. It was the first time he had been walked by someone else, and he loved it. He came back all relaxed and with a big smile on his face. She was punctual and kept me abreast of what was going on, with some truly lovely photographs. Highly recommended.”

About: Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who needed a little extra attention and specialized care. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications, preparing special diets, and sticking to your pet’s normal routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so communication is always a priority. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently moved to Bellingham and currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks or drop-in visits, I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and providing consistent care for your pets. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for them. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet is safe and content before I leave. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and have peace of mind 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: I grew up with dogs and love them! I can handle feedings, walks, play time, and so on. I can do pet meds on a case by case basis. I work full-time, and primarily remote. If local, I can do morning, midday, or/and evening check-ins and walks. I can do overnight care in pet’s home, if hypoallergenic dog :) If I have access to wifi to work remotely, I’m also happy to stay there during the day to let your pup out. I can easily put dogs on leash/harness for walks and clean up after your dog. I can follow specific instructions for your dog and your home!
“Crista was very professional, attentive, responsible and kept me updated throughout her time with my dog. She let me know when she began and ended the walk, and my dog seemed as though she enjoyed herself. I would definitely book Crista again in the future!”

“Shawn was incredible with our young and highly energetic puppy! He went above and beyond to work with him. Our daily photos and videos kept our minds at ease. While we were trapped with the Air Canada debacle, Shawn and his wife were flexible to help care for Paxton when we needed it most. I'd reccomend him and his family to anyone. They were fantastic and easy to work with!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Brittany was so great to deal with, I'm so happy to have found her. Molly was comfortable with her and her dogs right away and I can tell she enjoyed her stay. Brittany sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I would for sure recommend Brittany, great experience!”
“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.”
“Carl is simply amazing! He sent lots of pictures and was very flexible as I had to reschedule a couple times. He took our puppup for lots of walk as well. I’d definitely leave our Kobe with him again.”
“Julie and family were fabulous pet sitters for our Stella!! They were very accommodating of our changing schedules and were always very welcome and friendly to us and Stella.”
“Poppy loves Denise! I am able to go away on vacation knowing that my precious girl will be loved and cared for. Denise always goes above and beyond to make sure Poppy is comfortable and happy. Denise is amazing!”
“Our dog has both separation anxiety and reactivity toward other dogs, which makes finding the right caregiver challenging. Ayesha was exceptionally responsive and provided excellent care, ensuring our dog was comfortable and well-supported the entire time. We’re very pleased with the experience and look forward to having her look after Diego again in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Bella (my puppy) had the best experience staying with Heather. She had been walked several times a day, had been taken to dog park to run around and play/socialize. Had best time playing with Sogeum (Heather’s dog) Everyday I was getting several updates on how Bella is doing with pictures and videos. Would highly recommend Heather as dog sitter and look forward to have Bella staying again.”
“Deborah and Mark are such kind people and took great care of our dogs while we were away for an extended period. They treated the dogs like members of their family, and took them on daily outings. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in their care. We will use them again in a heartbeat.”
“Thank you thank you to Shalaine for her excellent care of our dog, Chester. He wasn’t eating well before the stay and Shalaine provided him with home cooked meals. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Shalaine’s entire family pampered Chester and kept him very happy during his time with them.”
“Sheena was amazing with our girls. When we picked them up we could tell that they were cared for and loved on the way they would be at home. We will definitely be back if we need a sitter again :)”
“Samantha is not only an absolute delight, but provides an amazing boarding service. I couldn't imagine anyone better to watch my dog. She has a large fenced property so the dogs can run around. My dog had the best time. She loved it. Samantha sent me pictures, videos and responded to my messages to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Samantha's services to anyone. I look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Jack had a great time staying with Chelsea and her dogs and other boarders. I appreciated Chelsea’s willingness to accept a lengthy last minute request when my usual sitter canceled. Her communication was great, she clearly cares for dogs, and her facilities are excellent. I would highly recommend her services to any of my family and friends.”
“Rachael was absolutely wonderful! She loved and cared for Charlie like he was her own and sent us lots of fun videos and pictures of him enjoying his time with her. I would highly recommend her. :)”
