“We can always count on Chrissy to take excellent care of our puppy and today is no exception. He got neutered 3 days ago and Chrissy gave him lots of attention while keeping him calm so he can heal. He gets so excited to see her every time!”

“Michelle is great! Responds quickly to you, very professional, personable and most importantly great with my dog! She even gave us pointers to getting her to stop pulling while walking and that alone has been a life saver. Could have asked for a better dog walker!”

About: Finding someone you trust with your pets is a big deal. Whether it's a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I want your pets to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I've been caring for pets for 10+ years, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that they all have their own personalities. Some love a good walk and plenty of playtime, some would happily spend the afternoon curled up beside me, and others need a little time before deciding we're friends. I pay attention to the little things, from their routines and favorite spots to those funny quirks that make them who they are. You can expect plenty of photos, regular updates, and communication you won't have to chase down. Whether I'm stopping by for 30 minutes or making your home my home base while you're away, I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. And yes, there's a good chance they'll get a few extra cuddles along the way! 😊 Pet care is a regular part of my day, and I love having the flexibility to give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I offer morning, midday, and evening care, whether that's part of your pet's weekly routine or a little extra help while you're away. For house sitting, I make your home my home base while you're away. I'll stay overnight, spend time with your pets throughout the day, and keep up with their usual meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Just like at home, I do come and go during the day for other clients, work, and everyday life. My standard overnight care is best suited for pets who are comfortable being home alone for 4–6 hours at a time. *If your pet has different needs, I'm always happy to chat and see if we're a good fit! I care for pets in their own homes, where they're usually happiest and most comfortable. I take the time to learn their routines, follow your instructions, and pay attention to the things that matter—from feeding schedules and medications to keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure. I also know that inviting someone into your home is a big deal! I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keep you updated, and let you know if anything seems out of the ordinary. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing both your pets and your home are being well cared for.

About: I have experience of about 15 years, periodically, pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I currently have both a lab-mix dog and a black cat. I grew up with both a dog and cat, from the age of 5. I have experience feeding, walking, cleaning up poop, giving medication, and overall caring for animals. I have a part time job Wednesday-Friday. Wednesday availability: 1-10pm Thursday availability: 7am-12pm and 7-10pm Friday availability: 7am-12pm and 7-10pm I will continuously update my schedule to make sure clients know my availability ahead of time! I love going on walks, so why not walk dogs? I’m physically active and healthy, so there would be no issues with me walking your dog. I’m very respectful of individuals pets; I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and have fun! Cats are so fun and entertaining! I enjoy hanging out with them and playing with them. I want them to feel comfortable and safe, as I know some cats can be intimidated by people they don’t know very well.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

About: **Unfortunately due to the app taking 20% of my pay, I’ve had to increase my pricing. Happy to work around this and discuss further** I've had at least 10 years of dog sitting experience, however I grew up with animals of all sorts in my family. From reptiles, small animals, cats and dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am definitely an animal lover, and will treat your pets as my own for the time they'll be with us! I'm not only responsible, and trustworthy, but I am available full time and have room for a flexible schedule. I am currently unemployed aside from rover, so I am available for frequent walks and play time. If you have any further questions, I am always open to meeting clients prior to them booking a service with me. Thank you ! I will spend a lot of time with them, making sure they’re comfortable and happy. I’m home all day since I go to school online, so I have plenty of time to watch and spend time with them. I love to go for long walks with the dogs, and take them to the local dog park to play (only if approved by owner) I treat my clients pet as if they’re my own, with care, attention and lots of love. I make sure they’re comfortable, and if they’re shy I give them the time and space to adjust. I have had experience with dogs and cats with many different personalities. You can trust that they will be taken care of & loved.

About: I have had pets all my life. I have had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. Dogs are my favorite and I treat them as part of the family. I currently stay at home and homeschool my son. I have a very flexible schedule. In saying that, I am willing to work around your schedule. I have a large fenced in backyard that your dogs can run free in and have a great time. Or they have space to just lay in the sun, like most dogs enjoy doing at times :)

About: One of the best feelings in the world is being greeted by a dog’s wagging tail—a pure expression of happiness, joy, and love that instantly brightens the day. I grew up with dogs, and from an early age, I learned how much they truly complete a home. I always accommodate my clients' animals daily routines, because their comfort comes first. It’s never about my schedule—it’s about maintaining what they know and trust. Just because their owners are away doesn’t mean their routine should change. I love taking pictures, so you'll have great photos of your animals while you are away. This is my full time job. Nice days don’t go to waste!!! Your pet(s) and I will be outside playing, running around, and a walk around the neighborhood (if allowed). I respect every home by keeping it tidy and cleaning up after myself. If you need a good spring clean and organizing, my services are always available: Dust, vacuum, organize, picking up poop, taking the trash out, grabbing the mail, watering plants, picking weeds… you name it, I will do it!

About: I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures. I’m working part time at a boutique downtown so I have plenty of time to babysit your children and make sure they have the care, love and attention they need. Please ask any questions & I’d be happy to meet you beforehand to make sure I’m the right fit. I’m very active and adventurous. I love to explore, walk, cuddle and play with my furry friends but most importantly is what you know your animal wants and what they will be happy and comfortable with, and I will do just that.

“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Whispering Pines

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Whispering Pines is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $27 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 813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whispering Pines. 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 Whispering Pines. 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 Whispering Pines 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 Whispering Pines. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
