About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to. I’m patient with animals and pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.
About: As a pet owner for more than 35 years, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for large-breed dogs as well as dogs that require medication and special medical attention. My favorite pastime is dog walking, and I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing safe, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. I have been a Special Education Teacher for the past 26 years and am currently enjoying my summer break from school. With a flexible summer schedule, I am available for dog walking and pet care throughout the week. Dog walking has always been one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog needs a daily walk, exercise, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I am reliable, responsible, and ready to help. While I currently share my home with one beloved cat, I have been a dog owner for most of my adult life. After losing my three dogs, I decided not to get another dog right away, but I still deeply miss the companionship and joy that dogs bring to everyday life. I have always been the kind of dog mom who made my dogs a priority. When I had dogs, I walked them before work every morning, came home during my lunch break to take them out again since I worked less than a mile from home, and then enjoyed another walk with them in the evening. My yard is fully fenced, providing a safe space for play and exercise, but I have always believed that dogs need more than just a backyard—they need walks, attention, and quality time with their people. Caring for dogs has never felt like a chore to me; it’s something I truly enjoy. Becoming a Rover walker gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs again while helping other pet owners ensure their furry family members receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. 🐾
“Courtney is so good with our goofy George. She understands his puppy mentality. She's always on time and very communicative w/ any issues. We get cute photo updates of their walks. We highly recommend Courtney for any help with your dog!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, whether it was taking care of my friends pets while they were away, or my own, I have always loved animals, specially dogs. I currently have three dogs of my own (ages 13, 6, and 1), which has given me experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from being patient and gentle with seniors to keeping the younger pups active and happy. I’m excited to start offering my care to other families and would love the opportunity to treat your pets like my own. I enjoy going on walks, have experience walking multiple dogs, following feeding routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel happy and loved while they’re in my care. I currently have a part-time job that is very flexible, which allows me to easily work pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy walking every day, whether I have a furry companion with me or not, so adding walks and visits into my schedule is something I truly look forward to. I also have my own reliable transportation, making it easy for me to get to and from clients’ homes. My work hours are short, and I have multiple days where I am not scheduled, giving me plenty of availability and flexibility to provide dependable care when your pup needs it. I provide care in your pet’s home so they can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own familiar environment. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make sure to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and daily habits. During visits, I would focus on giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while making sure they feel safe and cared for. I enjoy going on walks, spending time playing, and giving pets the love and patience they deserve while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own dogs.
About: I was raised in a family that has always had dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from 6 LBS to 120 LBS. I do not shy away from taking care of our family dogs, friends dogs and my neighbors dogs. I love to move around so your dog will get all of their movement in or if they're a lap dog I'll be there to snuggle them up! I am a teacher so looking for summer work, so from the end of June-September I available all days of the week and all times. I live in an apartment, but my area has a lot of parks near by. I am available whenever you may need me and will make whatever accommodations that are needed to best support you and your furry friend!
About: As a speech therapist for 10 months out of the year, I primarily work with children and enjoy spending summers outdoors with my own dog, Cooper. I have 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking, through Rover as well as for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable maintaining your dog’s training and walking routines to ensure safe, fun walks together! (Cooper will stay at home, he is a whole lot of 100 lbs and receives his own walks. He does not resource guard and has never been a bite risk). I’m looking to dog walk and/or dog sit in the summer, when I am off from my public school job. This would be during the months of July and August, but depending on the hour I can be available before July (after 4:30 pm). During the summer I have a very flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a split level home. I can keep our dogs separate or introduce them depending on your preference and whether they can acclimate (Cooper is a big boy but docile and friendly).
“We greatly appreciate Claire for taking such good care of our dog while we were away on vacation. Claire immediately had good rapport with our dog (who is a very good judge of character) and maintained good communication with us while we were away. We felt at ease knowing our beloved dog was in Claire’s capable hands. We highly recommend Claire for all your pet care needs.”
“i had a great experience .. The dog walker arrived on time and took my puppy for a full 30-minute walk, ensuring he got the exercise he needed. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely use it again!”
About: Hello pet parents! My name is Val. I have been working with pets since I was 16 years old. I started in a dog/cat boarding facility and now I’m a part time Vet Tech at a pet hospital . I have lots of experience with feeding schedules, long and safe walks, bathing, trimming nails, and giving lots and lots of love. I’m also CPR certified to be prepared if the unexpected happens. I will take care of your furry friends as if they were my own 🫶🏻 I’m currently working part-time in a pet hospital. Usually I’m there 2-3 days a week, which usually change every week. I have plenty of days off where I can take care of your babies. I’m pretty sure I can accommodate myself to your schedule to make everything easier for your pets. I will give lots of pets to your pawsome babies. I can also bathe them if wanted. And I will give them lots and lots of love.
“Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: I've had pets since I was a baby, and have taken care of them my whole life! I've been trusted to watch over others' pets since I was 10. I have experience taking care of a senior dog, and helping raising puppies and kittens! I am open to watching and walking any pet of any size! I'm currently a college student living in a dorm, so for now I cannot board. My schedule is flexible, and I'll have time to walk dogs every day! I will also have time to stop in and check on your fur-babies. I am open all day every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I will spend as much time as needed with your pets in your home, including feeding and cleaning up after them! I love spending time with any animal and will gladly befriend your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Whippany on Rover is $22.2 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 26,986 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 your Whippany. 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 Whippany.

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:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
