“Cassandra is great! She is very reliable and has built a fantastic relationship with Maizy in a short amount of time (just a few walks). Maizy excitedly awaits her arrival every morning and goes nuts when she sees Cassandra's vehicle pull up.”
About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel & a very large husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I rescued a German shepherd/pit bull mix (Layla) who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I rescued Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans & dogs alike. I’ve completed extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently available throughout the work week at any time (as an educator on summer break). As of September 1st, I will be available from 2pm into the early evening. Book early to save a spot right at 2! I know a wide variety of trails/walking spots in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I make sure to carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and try to engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash. Within your home, I’ll always change/refill the water for the dog(s) after the walk.
“Kiley did a fantastic job with both of our dogs, even on her first visit. She arrived on time and quickly bonded with them. They had a long, enjoyable walk and returned home happy and well-exercised. When they encountered a neighbor's dog, Kiley wisely picked up our little one to prevent any potential issues. We highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I’ve raised and cared for an Akita mix and a Maine Coon cat who both lived exceptionally long, happy lives—thanks to the wholesome, low‑stress lifestyle they enjoyed on the farm. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment for every animal in my care. Since losing my own pets, I’ve truly missed the companionship and joy they brought to my daily routine. Pet sitting gives me the chance to reconnect with that love while offering dependable, thoughtful care to your pet. Whether they need exercise, affection, structure, or simply someone patient and attentive, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and well‑loved while you’re away. 🌟What to Expect When You Book With Me 🌟As a stay‑at‑home mom to a 9‑month‑old, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone, and I maintain a calm, predictable routine that helps animals feel secure and comfortable. 🌟Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, you can expect reliable communication, timely updates, and thoughtful attention to their individual needs. I’m home the majority of the time (and when I’m not home, dogs come with me) which allows me to closely follow feeding schedules, outdoor routines, activity play, and any special instructions you provide. 🌟Pets in my care enjoy a balanced, enriching routine that keeps them active, relaxed, and mentally stimulated. Each day includes plenty of outdoor time, whether that’s a peaceful walk around the property, a short hike on nearby trails, or a visit to one of the local parks for fresh air and new sights. Throughout the day, I maintain a steady rhythm of play, rest, and companionship. Because I’m home full‑time, your pet receives consistent attention and engagement, with activities tailored to their energy level and personality. Whether they thrive on adventure or prefer gentle outings and quiet time, I make sure their day feels fulfilling, safe, and enjoyable. 🌟Care in My Home I live on a quiet farm property at the end of a dead‑end road. This means no through‑traffic, no noise disruptions, and a peaceful setting that helps pets settle in easily. The property has spacious front and back yard areas for supervised outdoor time, and the living space itself is clean, organized, and free of hazards. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet receives steady attention, consistent monitoring, and a predictable routine that supports their comfort and safety. 🌟Care in Your Home When caring for pets in their own environment, I focus on maintaining the routines and expectations they already know. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and stay attentive to details like feeding schedules, gates, doors, and any special safety considerations you share. This helps your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. Across all services, I value trust, communication, and reliability. You can expect thoughtful decision‑making, clear updates, and a steady, caring presence dedicated to keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and understood.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Family members, friends, neighbors, etc. have always had pets and have relied on me to take care of them for periods of time. I work on a hybrid schedule, so I am home most Mondays, Fridays - Sundays all day. When I am in the City working I have breaks where I can walk dogs that are close by as well. I don’t have any pets in my home, I live with my fiance who has grown up owning multiple dogs at a time. We have no children in the home either. We live in a townhouse with a front and back yard.
“Sydney took great care of my dog Tessie when she was unable to go to daycare for several months and needed drop in walks instead. She was always reliable, on time, and communicative and I would strongly recommend her to any other dog parent!”
“Anna has been so great with my reactive dog! She has been really patient about learning about his quirks and needs and has been really attentive to managing his behavior on walks. Thanks Anna!”
“Jennifer was great! Sent tons of photos and even left us flowers! She took our 5 months old puppy out and then spent some time with him in our home before leaving. Max was a very happy boy when we came home from work!”
“I highly recommend Steph, she has been wonderful with my two pups - one is a grumpy bulldog and the other is a crazy black lab, so I know she can handle double dogs of different speeds which is great! She’s also really sweet with the dogs, super friendly and easy to talk to, and very flexible with bookings.”

About: I have had and cared for dogs for 20+years since I was 10 years old. My husband and I adopted our golden retriever, Izzy in 2021. For 6 years I have been a volunteer and a foster at Forever Home Rescue in Medfield for the dogs that are brought up North weekly to find a home. We have fostered almost 30 dogs in our house & ONLY foster-failed with ONE, Pongo 🐶😊 I work a hybrid schedule currently and go into the office 2 to 3 days a week. I generally do not do week long boardings due to my work schedule, however it can sometimes be arranged depending on the week and our work schedules, so please feel free to still request! I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs, Izzy, a 5 year old Golden Retriever and Pongo, a 4 year old Lab/Weimaraner mix. They are both very sweet and happy pups who are used to sharing their home with dog- guests (whether boarding or fosters). When they were younger they went to daycare 2x a week and are well socialized and good with sharing their toys/beds/treats/etc. Pongo can be weary/protective the first time he meets a new dog and may give a growl or 2, but warms up quickly once he realizes they are friendly! Izzy and Pongo are both on the calmer side, and do best with dogs who will play/wrestle/run with them outside and then relax, lounge, and chew on some Benebones inside with them! Your dog is free to nap and hangout on the couch, dog beds, or our bed.
“Megan is extremely responsive, kind, and responsible. I will absolutely be asking for her services again in the future! I highly recommend her. My pup loved her walks! Thank you, Megan!”
About: I've grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have cared for pets while friends/family were away and enjoy doing so. I love spending time with animals. At the moment I am part time and have my daughter. My schedule is very open. Even on my work days I am free the first half of the day. However you want them taken care of is how I will do so. Always with love and kindness. I see my pets as my family.
About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bellingham
Cassandra is absolutely wonderful! We are so thankful to have met her. She loves our animals as much as we do, she’s easy to communicate with, and goes beyond what we ask! We’ve had her come take care of our pets several times and she’s amazing each and every time.
Daniela has earned 100 percent of my trust in taking care of my pup for the past five years. Her love for animals is so clear from the first time you meet her (and when she first meets your pet). She truly adores animals, especially dogs and cats. My dog, a coonhound (whose eight years old now) really love her and loves to sit on her lap, and of course to go on walks with her. My dog is incredibly sweet, but has some anxiety, and Daniela is always tuned right into state of mind and adjust things like duration and location of walks to accommodate what my dog needs. And when my pup sits on Daniela’s lap and gets comforted you can just see the anxiety melt away. They have a great bond together, which not every dog walker/sitter has. Highest possibly recommendation for Daniela!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bellingham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bellingham. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
