“Jenna has been amazing! Our pup Betty absolutely loves her, and Jenna is always sure to take some pictures and let us know of anything important. Before starting our regularly scheduled walks, Jenna was kind enough to come for a drop in and meet Betty ahead of their first walk together. She was so kind and understanding, especially as we just moved in to our new place so recently. Jenna is a natural! We’re so happy we found her, and look forward to many more good walks for our Betty! ❤️”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and Lab mix owner who especially enjoys spending time with puppies and helping them feel safe, happy, and confident as they explore the world. I'm patient, attentive, and love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I’m especially practiced in working with anxious and highly active dogs. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra playtime, or a little TLC, I'll treat them like my own. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I’m excited to spend more time doing something I love: caring for animals! I have a flexible schedule and can work with your needs throughout the week. I especially love puppies and would be thrilled to help your pup get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I tailor my care to each dog's personality, routine, and needs. I follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a walking schedule, reinforcing good habits, or making time for plenty of play, sniffing, and affection. I’m especially fond of puppies and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement as they learn and explore. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands!

“Madison has been walking Jake, our very active, 60lb collie/heeler mix, for a few weeks now and we are delighted we found her on Rover. She is very dependable and obviously experienced with energetic dogs. Jake loves her, he watches out the window at walk time and charges to the door as soon as he sees Madison coming! We would definitely recommend Madison.”

About: I offer personalized pet care with a focus on training puppies and providing attentive care for senior dogs. With years of experience training my own dogs and caring for my parents' elderly dog, I understand the unique needs of every pet, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve at every stage of life. I have experience taking care of fish as well! So if you have any fish tanks I will be more than happy to take care of them. I work early mornings where I usually start 4-6am and finish no later than 11am. I work no more than 4 days a week! I will always take your dog out right before I leave for work and once I come back! I don't make many plans during the week! . I generally stay at home so having a new step in my routine this summer would be amazing! I will do my best to stick to the routine when taking care of your pet in your own home. I find it important to have consistency when it comes to pet care.

About: Hi! I’m Yunhan and I also go by Riley. I am certified by the American Red Cross in cat and dog first aid, and I have experience administering oral, optical, and topical medications to pets. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of three cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. I’m attentive to the little things and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I can provide morning, midday, and evening visits, administer meals or medications, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with or comforting your fur babies. My remote work also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute check-ins or longer visits. Caring for my own three cats has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Every day I make sure they have fresh food and water, keep their litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and spend time playing and giving them attention. I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems off, whether it’s changes in appetite, energy, or litter box habits. Since each of my cats has a different personality, I’ve learned to adapt my care to what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have four dogs of my own, where I have helped train them, raise them, and care for them. I have a love for all dogs and understand their individual needs. In addition to my own dogs, I have been dog-sitting through Rover for about 3 years. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of attention. I am aware that all dogs need a different type of care, whether they're the energetic fun-loving pup - to a lazy little lap dog. I am reliable and professional and will provide you with pictures, updates, or anything you may need to make you feel at ease while I’m with your pup. I have experience with handicapped animals and sick animals and can administer shots or oral medication if needed. I am always available on the weekends, and whenever needed for walks or drop-ins during on the weekdays. I am ready to treat your dogs like my own, and believe that all dogs should be loved equally and cared for. Your best friend will be my best friend! Please consider me with this application and help me, help you!

I work part time and make my own hours as a soccer coach. I play proefssional soccer and I am in the off season right now so I have some down time. And I am very flexible with scheduling care for animals. I will take dogs for walks around the neighborhood on leashes. I can take them on runs if they want exercise. I can take them to dog parks. I can play with them inside and outside.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little fur-family. With 6+ years of dog experience and over 20 years of cat care, I’m confident, calm, and totally in tune with what pets need to feel happy and safe. I’ve owned 7+ cats over the years, cared for many pups, and even handled medication and special routines. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for ages to feed, walk, play, cuddle, and keep their pets smiling while they’re away. I’m gentle, reliable, and always focused on giving your pets the love and attention they deserve.Lots of tail wags and purrs guaranteed. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m a stay-at-home parent with a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which makes it easy for me to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and play sessions around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to explore. Inside, I use gates throughout the house to keep pets out of trouble and create a calm, manageable environment. If your pet is used to structure, I can crate them as needed to keep their routine consistent. I also have two playful, friendly dogs who love making new friends and can keep your pup company—whether they enjoy gentle play or just having a buddy nearby. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, loved, and totally comfortable during their stay.

About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

I have worked with animals of all size, age, and even some with medical conditions. I am experienced at giving medication and work well wih animals, as I grew up with a cat and dogs. I am able to care for multiple pets at once, and have a car on campus so I am able to take any job. I am a college student with avalability sporadically so please reach out about specific days and times that you would need care. I am happy to take pets on walks or just sit with them and give them attention in addition to feeding. If staying the night, I am happy to have your pet sleep with me or crate them, whatever they will be the most comfortable with.

About: I am reward based trainer and I have been training for the past 6 years. I earned my certification (CPDT-KA) with an accredited organization back in 2020. My focus is on obedience training and behavior modification. I construct lesson plans for my clients, demonstrate said lesson, and supervise their application of such. I write notes for my clients to refer back to in between training sessions. You can expect to go over efficient means of communication, body language, the importance of variety in our rewards and much more during our sessions together! Ultimately, my goal is to form a stronger bond between pet and parent, as well as give parents the tools and skills necessary to provide their dogs with a balanced and healthy life. I have worked at boarding facilities for 5 years total and currently work at an emergency veterinary hospital. Given that experience, I am very comfortable caring for dogs and cats. I can provide feedings, play time, medication administration, and grooming with ease. My schedule changes frequently, so please contact me regarding dates you’re interested in booking and I’ll let you know if I’m available to provide my services! While caring for pets, I appreciate having a detailed list of instructions so I can best simulate your fur baby’s routine in your absence. I never allow other pets and/or people interact with yours (unless explicit consent is provided) while on outings together. I ensure all walking gear is secured prior to leaving the house with your pet. I also carry treats at all times in the case I need to distract and/or guide pups through difficult situations such as passing other dogs, people, cars etc. for my leash reactive babies. I also carry deterrents in my pouch should we come across off leash dogs while on our walks together.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Whippany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Whippany is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 27,110 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whippany. 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 Whippany. 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 Whippany 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 Whippany. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
