“My husband and I travelled to Myrtle Beach, SC for 9 days with our Siberian husky, Sansa and we were able to golf 6 times with Craig taking Sansa for walks. This was our first experience with Rover and it was great. We really liked being able to see the walk routes, start/finish times, photos and the notes. We met Craig and Sansa seemed very happy to meet him. We will definitely look for Craig if we come back to MB.”

About: As a pet owner for 20+ years, I have been blessed to care for dogs through every stage of life—from puppies to seniors, including a blind dog and one with mobility challenges. While I am new to Rover, I am not new to the genuine attention, patience, and love that fur babies deserve. My experience also includes completing individual and group K-9 training courses with my own dogs. Agility is in the mix as well, so the back yard is often home to hoops, jumps, tunnels, and weave poles...oh my! Currently, I work full-time, Monday - Thursdays, and half-days on Fridays. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to adventures, cuddles, and the like with my English Spring Spaniel, Granger. Please feel encouraged to message me about dates, times, and the like. If able, I will happily make accommodations. I have a spacious fenced in yard for "fun and run". Crates are preferred for overnight stays. Furbo and Ring are on premises for extra safety and security.

About: I’ve been around animals for years and love spending time with them! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, playing or just keeping them company. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I love having opportunities to get outside and spend time with animals. I’m happy to work pet care into my weekly routine and can coordinate with owners to find times that work for both of us. I’m dependable, communicate well, and will make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll always follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outings, and make sure they’re safe in their environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

“Lisa was wonderful with my dog, Lainey! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about making sure Lainey was comfortable and well taken care of. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Lainey was in great hands while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and the time she spent with her. I am absolutely booking with Lisa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. My first job in high school was pet sitting, and then it grew from there. Throughout covid I would post on facebook groups offering to watch people’s animals. As the years went on I still loved pet sitting, and still watching the same animals I have all the previous years before! Ever since moving to south carolina full time I haven’t pet sat as often, but I would love to get back into it since I have a lot of free time now! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, lizards, and guinea pigs! Over the years I learned how to administrate oral injections and how to apply topical cream to animal. I also have experience with giving medication throughout the day, whether that’s administrating it by mouth or putting it in a treat for them! My schedule typically changes every week, but I am a server and I do not work full time. I am a recent Coastal Carolina graduate, and now have a lot of free time on my hands throughout the day! I would care for your animals just like I was caring for my own fur babies! I do have a cat at home, and if you needed me to keep your animal at my house, I would have no problem putting my animal in another room to keep your animal safe, if they didn’t get along. In my neighborhood I have two dog parks that are fenced in for outdoor activity. If needed to stay at clients home, I would treat the home as my own and act in a respectful manner. Main goal would be to take care of the pet and make sure they are in a safe/ fun environment!

About: Being a mother of 2 and having grown up with animals my whole life, I know how important it is to leave your “babies” in the hands of someone you can trust. I’ve grown up with pets and have 20+ years experience caring for them. I have had dogs mostly but have cared for cats, birds and gerbils. I would describe myself as nurturing, responsible, active, and fun! I work from home so I am free and available to care for your pet and am able to provide frequent potty breaks and care. I live in an apartment and I am not strict about animals on the couch or bed. I live in a great neighborhood, next to parks, open fields and the beach, perfect for dog walking and outside activities!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have been walking and pet-sitting since I was 15. I have experience staying overnight with pets and caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. My own rescue dog taught me how to be patient and gentle with timid dogs, and I’ve carried that into every pet I care for. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, taking dogs out for the day and walking them whenever I can. This experience has helped me work confidently with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m a passionate dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’m a student at Coastal Carolina, so my schedule varies a bit. On M/W I don’t have class until 4:00 pm, so I’m free anytime before that or after 5:30 pm. On T/Th, I have classes from 8:00 am until 1:30 pm, and am free anytime after. Fridays I have off, and my weekends are mostly wide open for me, unless I’m heading home, which doesn’t happen too often. I’m pretty flexible and always keep communication open about my availability. When I’m walking or visiting dogs at their homes, safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions the owner provides closely, keep dogs on leash during walks, and stay attentive to their behavior to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. I respect each dog’s space and routine, and always leave the home as clean and organized as I found it. Building trust with both the pet and owner is important to me, and I’m committed to providing reliable, caring support every time.

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. More recently, I have gained professional experience in caring for dogs, birds and marine mammals. I have worked at a dog daycare but I am currently a Marine Mammal and Avian Trainer at Pirates Voyage in Myrtle Beach. I also train dogs here and I have extensive knowledge of care and utilize positive reinforcement only! I’m currently working full time as an animal trainer so my current availability is Wednesday, Thursday all day. I am also available randomly throughout the week but show schedules change frequently so I am never sure. Feel free to reach out!! I live in an apartment which is challenging for my dog but I utilize the dog field at Pirates voyage because I work there and he was originally a pirates dog. I also take him on walks around my complex and we are working on loose leash walking! Depending on what is available, I would love to take pets on walks or play with them. I have a love for animals and would love to spend some extra time helping care for them!

About: My family and I are Christians. I was making plans to get my son a dog once he started working this summer. His big sister, who is now 20, worked at Ripleys Aquarium before she joined the Airforce a year ago. He wants a job there this summer just so he can learn more about animals. He is a natural around dogs and other animals. He is an honor role student who wants to be a vet one day. While I was out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into a sweet lady who told us about Rover.com. I thought how perfect is that. We get the love and warmth of a dog, and I will be able to teach my beloved son about responsibility and helping others. Your dog will get the love and care that you would expect and will be completely safe with us. The last dog I owned was a Staffordshire Terrier. We loved him. His resting place is in my home Bermuda.

About: I’m a proud momma of two Pit Bulls that I rescued, locally. My passion for Bully breeds started 25 years ago when I adopted my first one and discovered the slobbering kisses that made me a forever fan. Over the last decade I fostered many (over 50) pregnant moms and their babies for local Rescues. I’m available anytime of the day and 7 days a week unless booked or unavailable. I also do not mind last minute drop ins. After my own experience trying to find a sitter for my two pit bulls, I realized that most sitters didn’t accept Pit Bulls and that there was a need for Pittie sitters! I love all breeds and have lots of experience.

“WOW!! I am extremely impressed with Cara. I am not from here, so I thought just a walk outside of my hotel would be ok, but Cara knew that this was a busy area and suggested taking Charlie over to Market Common for her walk. She sent pictures and gave me an update when she got back with her. She provided excellent service and it was above and beyond anything that I had in mind. Cara definitely has my business every time I come into town. Now I know I can bring Charlie with me every time and she will be well cared for by Cara!!

About: Hi, I’m Kensington! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—everything from cuddly pups and finicky cats to aquatics and scaly creatures (yes, really). I treat every pet like family, with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them unique. Whether your dog needs a walk, your cat needs a lap to claim, or your shy pet just needs a calm presence, I’ve got them covered. My whole workweek typically revolves around pet care and ensuring other people’s furry friends are well taken care of. As for when I’m not working, I take care of all the sweet furry (and scale-y!) babies in my own home! I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving space to shy pets, or providing plenty of play and snuggles. I keep your home clean and respect your space, just like I do with the animals I care for. I’m experienced, adaptable, and always ready to make your pet feel loved and secure while you’re away.

Ashley, did a great job with my dog Max. He can be a handful but she was great with him and walked him for about 5 1/2 miles over a period of just four walks and helped him get out some of his zoomies!😊. I would definitely hire Ashley, again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Forestbrook

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Forestbrook is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 690 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forestbrook. 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 Forestbrook. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Forestbrook after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 Forestbrook. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
