“Thank you, Laura for taking such great care of Coco our 13 year old Shi Tzu and for keeping us in touch by sending pictures of her during your stay. Knowing she was well cared for, made our Anniversary trip all that more special. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!”

About: Hellllo Pawrent! I am a dog mom to a lovely pup, Washoe. I grew up around dogs my whole life and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I love every dog I come across and always make sure they are the happiest pup alive. Their happiness is my goal in life. I am a student at Auburn University, currently on a break. Once my new semester starts, I will change my availability and notify you if you are a repeat client. Washoe is like my kid and any dog that is in my care will be taken care of the same. I love to spoil and show tremendous amount of love to them!

They might even receive a gift from just for being so awesome😉

About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, Stella and Bentley. I frequently foster animals ranging from puppies to adult dogs at my local humane society. I also volunteer with the cats as well! I will care for your pet as my own. I have class during the week but that is only for an hour or two a day. When I am not in class I am at home. I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am a very patient pet sitter. I listen and pay attention to what you tell me your dog or cat needs and I go beyond that. I do allow pets to be comfortable where they choose whether that’s on furniture, or on the cold floor. I will make sure your pets feel as comfortable as possible while away from their humans! I do not have any pets that live with me so having a guest pet every now and then is great.

My goal is to make sure your dog is well taken care of and you are stress free while they are in my care!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved being around animals! I’ve had my own pet since I was 16, which has given me years of experience caring for a pet and understanding the responsibility that comes with it. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I want to make sure every pet I look after feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets as if they were my own! I’m a college student, so my schedule has some set commitments, but I also have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have classes from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I also have a sorority commitment on Wednesdays from 5:00–7:00 PM. I’m involved in a few other organizations on campus, which occasionally require me to attend meetings or events, but these are not every day and are usually scheduled in advance. Outside of these commitments, I have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time to caring for and spending time with your pets! When walking your dog, their safety will always be my top priority. I will stay attentive and aware of my surroundings at all times, keep dogs securely leashed, and make sure they are comfortable throughout the entire walk. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, behavior, or needs, and I will never take unnecessary risks. I promise to treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own, making sure they return home happy, safe, and well cared for!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 8 years old and truly love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including managing complex feeding schedules and multi-pet households. I’m especially comfortable with senior pet care. My own dog who passed in July 2026 was quite elderly, so I have hands-on experience administering oral medications, injections, and fluids, as well as providing the extra patience and attention older pets need. I also understand the importance of respecting your home and keeping things clean and consistent with your normal routine while house sitting. With my hybrid work schedule, I have the flexibility to stop in during the workday for potty breaks, walks, medications, check-ins, and extra cuddles. I’d love to provide your pets with comfort, attention, and dependable care while you’re away! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I am able to be home to ensure your pet is being taken care of throughout the day. I’m happy to walk and watch pets in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings in addition to spending time with your companion throughout the weekend! I am also more than happy to do meet and greets to make sure my schedule fits your expectations with the care you are looking for. Happy to help crate train your pup and make sure they’re comfortable and secure. My own dog got spooked easily during thunderstorms as well as when people she was unfamiliar with came in, so I always am careful to make sure likeminded pets are secure and safe as possible. I like to greet shy pets first with a little treat, slow movements, and a gentle voice so they can grow to trust and depend on me.

“Abby was amazing at taking such great care of Doogie & Otto on their twice-a-day walks while I had to travel for work. Having one 2 year old and one 12 year old makes the walks a challenge, and she managed to strike the right balance to make them both happy! Additionally, the little extras she did like checking that the litter box was clean, was so helpful! We definitely would recommend Abby to care for your pets, and we definitely plan to use her services over and over!”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have grown up around animals and rescuing animals. I absolutely love any fur baby and am always the one asking to pet your dog or cat or play with them. I have senior experience with dogs and am able to administer medication. A lot of my pets have had complex medical problems, so i am used to helping any baby out with whatever he/she needs. My pets are my safe space and mean the absolute world to me, so when I take care of any other pet I love them like my own. I currently work part time at a job that is flexible. So I would have time to hang with your furry friends and give them tons of love and care. I will care for pets in my clients home by always abiding by the pets safety, happiness, and comfort. I always want to make sure the pet is safe and happy in all that I do.

About: Throughout my life, my greatest passion has always been caring for dogs, my own and others. I’ve owned 5 dogs in my adult life, of which 3 were rescues with high anxiety and reactivity. I also have experience caring for senior dogs—my oldest girl lived to be 18! I will understand and accommodate all of the specific needs your dog has, whether they are behavioral, medical, etc. I am available anytime on weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I can also provide walks and drop-in visits before 8am work and after 5pm Monday-Friday. If you need me for a time not listed on my schedule, I can likely accommodate it. I will replicate how you care for your dog in your home or on our walks. Whether they are active, anxious, or a lazy bones (and everything in between) I will meet them where they are and treat them as my own.

About: My family and I have taken care of 3 Golden retrievers since I was 8 years old. I love to play with animals, they bring out my playful childlike self. In middle and high school, I took care of two different neighbors dogs. My mother has a 5 lb shi-poo who’s small but mighty. For your dog, I can bathe, feed, walk, and play with them. Any special services they require I’m more than willing to provide. Every day I wake up at 5:00 AM, and I get to bed by 9:00 PM. I work from home and create my own hours buying vehicles and selling them. I’m available throughout the daytime and nighttime to care for pets. I have plenty of fenced in areas near me to take them on bathroom breaks and get exercise. I need frequent breaks with my work, so walks and bathroom breaks are good ways to get away for second when I or the pup needs to.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for more than 20 years. My love and experience with dogs started at home—my dad was a dog trainer who worked with his own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Growing up around that experience taught me how to understand canine behavior, respect each dog’s individual personality, and provide patient, attentive care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I especially love being outdoors. Hiking, nature trails, and exploring the outdoors are some of my favorite things to do, so when appropriate, I love taking the dogs in my care along for an enjoyable walk or adventure. I believe dogs benefit from both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and I always want their time with me to be safe, positive, and enjoyable. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available Sunday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care. I provide pet care at the owner’s home through dog walks and drop-in visits. Check-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I am not currently offering overnight stays, boarding, or pet sitting in my home.

About: Hey thank you for taking the time to view my profile, here's a little information about me: Currently I am enrolled in college majoring as a veterinarian technician. My goal is to succeed in helping and caring for as many animals as I can. As someone who has had extremely close bonds with every pet I've ever had in my life, I can also proudly say that they are not just animals. Our pets are like family. Animals are incrediblly smart and in a way are like humans. They deserve to be treated with love, gentleness and fully cared for. I can be reached at any convenience. I’m currently taking classes online therefore leaving me with more free time to help of those families in need of the extra hands. For pets staying with me I have an yard that leads into a 3 mile path that wraps around a lake which is perfect for pets that need to stretch their legs. But also in a pet owners home I am clean, responsible and worried about the pets safety at all times. I'm currently a stay at home mom, with plenty of free time during my schedule. I'm available Monday-Sunday, at all times. Please give me at most an hour to respond to requests during the day. And if reaching out overnight please allow a few hours for a response. Thank you! All pets will be have my full attention, and you will constantly be updated with plenty of pictures and info during their stay. I also highly recommend bringing a crate, or dog bed during your pets visit, so they have a spot that's dedicated to having their own space.

My dog Stevie is a doll, but only after he decides youre worth it. Ava won him over. My tough cookie was choosing her over me even after not seeing me for 2 days! I was jealous! And also so happy that we have someone who he not only puts up with but he was snuggling with her! Very fortunate for me and my boys that we found Ava!

We have never had a dog walker because one of our dogs can be super anxious, but Anna has been such a blessing! She is on time, sends helpful updates, and treats our dogs well. Anna really helps us feel confident because we know our dogs are in great care when our days are hectic. Grateful to have her as our bi-weekly walker!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Whipporwill Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Whipporwill Estates is $13 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $20 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 517 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whipporwill Estates. 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 Whipporwill Estates. 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 Whipporwill Estates 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 Whipporwill Estates. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
