“Jess has been nothing sort of wonderful! I am SO happy and relieved I found her. She is very soft spoken and calm, but not timid. I have a mini Aussie so he is very high energy and smart. He can be a lot if not handled properly, but she does everything beautifully! Now he waits at the window to watch and wait for her as he loves her so much ❤️”

About: I have had dogs my whole life growing up and I’ve always had so much love and care for these animals! My family and friends always ask me specifically if they are out of town to care for their dogs because they know I will spread my love and care for their own dogs. Everyone in my family says I should pursue a career that involves animals because of my deep care and passion for them! For example, one time I was walking by someone walking their dog and the dog started to come up to me and say hi, the dog owners were in shock and said their dog NEVER comes up to people like that and “I must have a special touch with dogs”. When I am older I want at least 10 dogs because they bring so much light and love into my life! I attend Sierra College Tuesdays and thursdays from 11am-5pm so I am available anytime before and/or after that. I also work part time with a pretty flexible schedule so I could come before and after work. I am also available to stay for house sitting any day of week! I unfortunately am unable to care for other peoples pets in my own home due to living in an apartment (I still make sure my dog is cared for with her as my number one priority with walking, food, and water), but for other people’s pets in their homes, I will make sure to follow all instructions and make sure their pet gets the exceptional care they deserve!

“I couldn't be more pleased with Benjamin's exceptional dog walking services. He walked my beloved dog, Ty Chi, for a week twice a day, and the care and attention he provides are truly outstanding. From the very first walk, it was evident that Benjamin has a genuine passion for dogs. He takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs and personality, ensuring that Ty Chi always feels comfortable and happy. Benjamin's care for details is remarkable—he meticulously follows all instructions regarding Ty Chi's specific needs. He even takes the time to update me with photos and notes after each walk, which I greatly appreciate. Punctuality is another one of Benjamin's strengths. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, ready to give Ty Chi the exercise and attention he needs. This reliability gives me peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and trustworthy hands. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his attention to detail. He notices the little things that make a big difference, such as adjusting the leash to ensure Ty Chi's comfort to make the walk even more enjoyable. His thoughtful approach shows how much he cares about the dogs he walks. I highly recommend Benjamin to anyone in need of a dog walker who is not only professional and reliable but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your pet. Ty Chi and I are incredibly grateful for Benjamin's outstanding service and look forward to many more walks together!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have cared for dogs through pet sitting and dog walking since college. I also have a German Shepherd who I’ve had for 8 years, so I’m very comfortable with medium and large dogs. I enjoy long walks, feeding, cleanup, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and attention. I always prioritize safety and treat every dog in my care like my own. I am comfortable with cats. I will walk your dog, rain or shine, weather permitting as safety is always first. I’m available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 AM–1 PM for weekday walks. I’m looking to build a small group of recurring clients, so I can provide consistent care and get to know each dog and their routine. I’m flexible within those hours for 30–60 minute walks and can accommodate occasional potty breaks or shorter visits as well. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of care and attention. Depending on their needs, visits can include a walk, feeding, fresh water, a potty break, and some playtime. I’ll always make sure they’re safe and comfortable before I leave and send you an update afterward.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, dogs, cats, small pets and I’m known for being calm, patient, and detail-oriented. I specialize in in-home care so your pet stays relaxed in their familiar space. I’m comfortable with seniors, puppies, and anxious or shy pets, and I follow your routines exactly (feeding, meds, potty schedule, exercise). My schedule allows me plenty of time for quality pet care! I’m available most mornings and evenings. I do work part time and have my kids week on week off so between work and kids I make time for pet walks and pet care when I have my kids. When I don't have my kids, I have more available hours and can-do house sitting locally in the placer county area. I take caring for pets in their own home very seriously and always treat your space with respect. I follow your routines exactly ~ meals, walks, meds, and bedtime ~ so your pets feel calm and secure while you’re away. I keep everything tidy, lock up carefully, and provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your home and pets are safe and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away completely worry-free.

About: I have a genuine love for animals, along with the compassion and hands-on experiencing to provide them with the best care. Growing up with a dog, I have always had a special bond with animals and understand how much they become part of the family. Pet sitting for family, friends, and other pet owners I have cared for pets with a variety of personalities routines, and individual needs. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to detail, whether it’s following feeding schedules, going on walks, providing exercise and playtime, or simply making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I love, giving pets plenty of attention, companionship, and, of course, lots of love and cuddles! Most importantly, I want every pet to feel happy and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is in loving and trustworthy hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I am available for regular walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I’m also available for boarding on the weekends. Which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention and care in a comfortable environment. I live in an apartment, but I love being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs on walks is one of my favorite parts of pet care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, where they can feel relaxed and at home. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I enjoy going on walks, playing with toys, giving belly, rubs and cuddles, and making sure they are never feeling lonely or bored. When caring for pets in a client‘s home, I make it a prior to follow their normal routine as close as possible. I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, provide freshwater, take dogs on walks, clean up after them, and give them plenty of playtime and companionship. I also understand that every pet is different so I take time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 12 years in Washington D.C., Seattle, and Placer County CA. I had a roster of repeat clients and was so in demand that I had to stop advertising. All of my clients eventually booked me via word of mouth. I still keep in touch with all of my clients. I have taken care of all types (young, old, large, and small) of dogs and dogs with medical issues. I pride myself on being communicative and taking the best care of your pet, by tailoring the care to your expectations and pets needs. I have references upon request. Throughout the past 6+, I have experience house-sitting for family friends and neighbors and taking care of pets that couldn't go along with them on vacation. As part of a house-sitting service, I know that maintaining gardens and plants is tough, so I am always happy to help in that area as well as any other around-the-house duties. I pride myself on being very communicative and transparent. I always send the owners pictures of their and inform them about how things are going.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student and looking for a part-time job, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, check-ins, and other pet-care needs around my class schedule. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent, and loving care for their pets. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and Labs (dogs aged from 1 month old - 14 years old), many house cats and spent years volunteering as a foster parent at a local kitten rescue (cats aged 1 day - 2 months). Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to check in with their pets, feed them, stay overnight, exercise their dogs (walk/play in backyard), and administer medication when needed. I am recently graduated from College and have full availability! I am open any day of the week to spend some time with your furry loved ones. I am very comfortable walking your dogs, playing with them in the backyard, crating them, administering medication, etc. I am also very comfortable working with cats, feeding, playing, medicating, etc.

She was punctual, professional, receptive to all of my instructions, and followed them carefully. She also has a genuinely kind and friendly personality, and I felt very comfortable trusting Ty Chi in her care. It was clear that she took the responsibility seriously while also being caring and attentive with him. I would absolutely recommend Fallon to other pet parents and would be happy to have her care for Ty Chi again!

If you need a pet sitter/dog walker, without hesitation I highly recommend River. River comes with experience volunteering at an animal shelter and having dogs throughout her life. From the start, River kept me informed upon her arrival, start of walk, took photos during the time she was with my dog, and return time and route. She would also spend some time with me after my dog’s walk to answer any questions I had and make sure my dog had some water and a little treat before she left. River is a very kind person who genuinely cares for dogs. I was truly impressed and grateful she was able to help me out in a crunch. It was a relief to know while I was out of pocket on a medical issue , my dog was still able to have a great time on his daily walks and “sniff-ari” with someone I am comfortable and confident with. My dog is special needs (blind and deaf) and River provided a peace of mind for me with her dog handling skills, and fun and luv on walks for my dog. I will definitely hire River the next time I need a pet sitter.

As of September 2026, there are 3,727 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whitney. 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 Whitney. 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 Whitney 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 .

  • 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
