About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was the neighborhood go-to for pet care — friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for years, from playful puppies to older animals who need a little extra patience and care. That kind of experience teaches you to read an animal's body language, adjust to their individual routines, and know when something's off. Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or a senior pet who just wants company and a familiar routine, I treat every animal like they're my own. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week. That means I can easily build pet care into my routine — whether it's a midday visit, a walk between work hours, or being available for longer stretches on my days off. Your pet won't be an afterthought squeezed into a busy day; caring for them fits naturally into how I already structure my time. When I visit your home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, medications, playtime routines, and any specific rules you have for your home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are fresh, and your pet gets the attention and exercise they need during our visit. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own, and I always make sure everything is locked up and in order before I leave.

“Alison and Cody were great! Easy to get along with, understanding, and very trustworthy. We did a meet & greet last week, and then did a walk together last night. Have already booked them again for an extended trip in July!”
“Colby did great with our Basset Hound, Muffin. They both seemed to enjoy each other immediately. They went for a nice walk, and Muffin offered Colby many kisses afterwards as a thank you. Colby seemed to handle Muffin's little antics quite well, and they parted as new friends. Thank you, Colby!”
“Giuliana was wonderful with our dog Pip! Very communicative and took great care of our senior dog. Took her on a wonderful hour long walk and she was very happy when we got home. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for about 15 years! Between family pets, neighbors' pets, and family friends', I have spent a lot of time with all kinds of animals with lots of different personalities and quirks. I am used to staying in the home with your pet(s) and have plenty of references! I am excited to get back into house sitting here in Bellingham and meet some new friends. :) I am currently working remote full time M-F, so I am able to spend lots of time with your pets as long as I have internet access!! My weekends are super flexible as well :) I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have and any requests you may have. I want to keep your baby as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away!! I am unfortunately unable to provide boarding due to my housing.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and would love to be a companion for your pets! Young to senior, low to high energy I’m there! I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my girl Olive is still finding her confidence as a previous stray and working on her leash reactivity! I work full time as a registered nurse and have every Monday off and then every other week off. I’m pretty flexible! Let me know what you need! Although I can’t care for your pets in my home, I can offer dog-walking, drop in playtime/hangouts, enrichment games and even take your pup hiking if you’d like!
About: Now offering adventure daycare (pick up and drop off service and hiking during the day) and boarding in my home which includes adventure daycare.... Over 16 years training, walking and exercising high energy dogs. I have extensive experience with working dogs, special needs dogs and have certifications in dog obedience and other disciplines. I am licensed as a public school teacher and fully background checked. Contact me for the best care. Boarding and adventure daycare is my speciality. I have limited drop in availability.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 562 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Waitsfield. 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 Waitsfield. 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 Waitsfield.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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