About: I have over 5 years of dog walking experience and have been a pet lover my whole life! I look forward to helping your animals thrive and love life even more!! I have a very flexible schedule but between 7:30 am and 7 pm work best for me to watch over and care for your pets! Don’t feel afraid to reach out for scheduling outside of my preferred times though! I have an extremely friendly shepsky who would always love to join me while walking your dog(s) or taking care of your cats and/or dogs but he is 100lbs so I will always ask if that’s conducive with your wants and needs!
“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: Hello there, I’m Audrey. I’m a lifelong animal lover who is dedicated to being a compassionate and informed pet companion. I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, starting with my family’s siamese cat and border collie rescue. Since then, I’ve been a primary caregiver for two rescue mutts and a companion to the many pets of my friends and family. I’m passionate about learning to understand animal emotions and behavior in order to more effectively care for pets. My goal is to build a relationship that is based on compassion, understanding, and trust. My schedule is highly flexible. I work remotely as a freelance writer, which allows me to easily adapt to pets’ routines. I keep my Rover schedule current, so it accurately reflects my availability. It warms my heart that I get to help the animals I work with stay home where they feel comfortable and stick to the routines they are used to.
“Great to meet Katarina and have us meet our pups! Looking forward to having her hang out with the dogs for a night soon! She was so helpful last minute, thoughtful, and asked all the right questions!”
“Julianna is great! She showed up on time, took pictures, and most of all, Arlo loves her. I could tell by how affectionate he was with her when she dropped him off. I would highly recommend her!”
“Maddy was so sweet! She was flexible when we needed to adjust some things and had the best communication. We’ll absolutely be booking service with Maddy in the future:)”
About: Since I was a young girl, I have loved to pet sit for dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and even cows! For dogs, I have administered medications, walked, fed, and played with them to their heart's content! I also have my very own cat that I adore so very much and I want all pets to feel that love. I am currently on a flexible work schedule, so I will be able to take care of your pets at your convenience. I do prefer dog-walking in the morning, but all other services throughout the day. I will not be able to bring your dogs over to my place, but I can make sure that they are safe in your home. I care for pets as if they are my own as a pet owner myself. I am an anxious and overly protective owner, so I can ensure proper safety and abide by the owners wishes.
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior dog, I provide dependable care and plenty of attention while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on weekdays. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with dogs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship and care while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and closely follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, I treat your space with respect and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Chloe was so communicative and sweet!! I highly recommend her. She was professional and provided detailed oriented updates and photos while i was away on vacation.”
“We were very impressed with Emily's excellent communication. Shackleton had a wonderful time with her and she was fanatic at managing a large and opinionated doggo! We highly recommend Emily for dog walking and will definitely request her in the future when we need a walker.”
About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.
“Keegan was great with our dog! We have a one year old golden retriever who can be high energy and gets very excited with new people. Keegan did great on walks with him - you can tell she loves animals. We’d happily have her walk/watch him again!”
About: I have had countless house/petsitting duties since i was 12 years old. Friends, neighbors, family, and mutuals have all used me for reliable, quality animal care. Along with my personal gigs, I also have 4 years of experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility, including running it while my boss is out of town. In my experience, I’ve taken care of young, old, scaled, feathered, tiny, huge…I’m confident I’ll be a fantastic caretaker for your furry companion(s). I work part-time at a dog daycare, and although my hours vary, my shifts are never longer than 5 hours. Whatever your schedule is with your fur babies, I will do my best to imitate it. I will follow whatever instructions go along with your animal’s normal day-to-day routine. If any questions arise, I won’t hesitate to contact you to ensure all care is taken care of properly.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, and to this day, I'm the go-to pet sitter in my family. I have a small dog who’s 4 years old and is very friendly with other dogs, cats, kids, and more. I’ve had him since he was a puppy and personally potty trained him, so I have plenty of experience with puppies. While I haven’t personally cared for a senior dog yet I have lots of free time and am confident I can give any senior dog with the care he or she needs. I'm currently doing some online classes, and I'm unemployed because I'm new to the Bellingham area so I have a bunch of free time to spend with your dogs. I live in an apartment so | don't have a yard for your pup to play in but I'll take your dog on walks very often and I personally take my dog to the dog park very regularly and would love to take yours too if you'd like.

Abby was responsive and communicative with messages, and went above and beyond making sure my dog was loved and cared for. My dog has a couple quirks that can make drop in walks/visits a bit more challenging and she was totally happy to accommodate everything I asked for. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bellingham on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,009 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bellingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bellingham.

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:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
