About: I have pet sitting experience with multiple species including big and small dogs, cats, rabbits and snakes. I love animals and always endeavor to give them the best possible care. I have also worked with reactive dogs that need special care and medication. I am currently working shifts at 6-1 or 1-7. I should have plenty of time to spend with your pet and give them attention and love. I am very respectful and careful of other people’s spaces. I enjoy spending most of my time with animals while doing quiet activities such as reading or drawing

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.

About: My most relevant experience is working at a dog day care and boarding hotel for 2 years as a pet care lead. During that job, I led and taught pet care assistants to carry out the daily routine of the dogs in our care. This includes giving medicine, feeding, watering, playing, supervising play groups, first aid, bathing, communicating with parents and maintaining standards of care. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with a pair of boxer lab sisters who I cared for as well. Recently, my wife and I have had Guinea pigs and a gecko as well as a 4 YO Chiweenie named Cotton we rescued. I get a lot of fulfillment out of building trust with animals and making them as comfortable and happy as possible. I look forward to bonding with your furry, scaly, etc… family member as well! At the moment I am looking for new work so I am filling the time in with Rover. My schedule is very open so I will take as many requests as I can get! I communicate with you and visit to get oriented with your pet before I start. During the visit, I ask questions about your pet to understand their individual needs and start to get them familiar with me. Once I am oriented, I'll follow your instructions and communicate with you if I am unsure about anything or something concerning comes up. Also, I am more than willing to do messier tasks like cleaning poop or bathing, as long as supplies are given. I believe strongly in respecting animal’s boundaries and proving to them that I am a reliable and unthreatening friend!

About: I’m an animal lover with 5+ years experience caring for dogs and cats. I find a genuine joy in spending time with pets and will do whatever I can to make your life easier regarding their care. I’m attentive, communicative, and willing to send a truly absurd number of photos to ease any anxiety being away from them. I have experience administering pill medication and will diligently check any special instructions you may include. I’m a freelance classical musician with a love for pets. My weeks can be fairly variable with 8-4 M to Fri and Sunday nights being the most consistent availability. Pets I watch can be left alone for a minimum of 4 hours to facilitate my freelancing schedule. Routines are important to a pet’s wellbeing and I strive to ensure those needs are met in my care. This includes following normal feeding times, dietary requirements, and giving them regular attention and exercise. Any behavioral information about your pet is useful as I can be conscious of environmental stressors like storms or loud noises and respond appropriately. I also like to keep an eye on symptoms of any pet allergy or medical issues such as hey fever or ear infections. While your pet is in my care, I strongly value consistent communication as a way to ensure your pet’s needs are met, reduce owner stress during the separation, and prevent any logistical issues regarding travel.

About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome! I have two crates and plenty of beds for your pet to feel comfortable. I have an outdoor patio in case your dog wants some fresh air as well as plenty of walking space around my neighborhood.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, ranging from small to large breeds, so being around animals has always been second nature to me. While I’m new to Rover, I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with pets. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on your needs. I’m responsive and dependable, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable. I’m attentive on walks, careful with routines and instructions, and happy to send updates/photos so you can feel at ease while your pet is with me.

About: Hi! I’m TJ (they/he) Since joining Rover in 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, multi-pet households, and even a bearded dragon. I also have two cats of my own and regularly care for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Through my experience, I’ve developed a thoughtful and adaptable approach to caring for pets with different personalities, comfort levels, and energy levels. Whether that means keeping up with feeding routines, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, treats, or helping a pet settle down and feel comfortable, I always try to adjust my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience with overnight stays and caring for both dogs and cats in the same home. I pay close attention to behavior and routine, keep the environment clean and low-stress, and communicate with owners if anything comes up so I can care for their pets the way they prefer. I do work late nights most of the week, but I strive to keep my schedule as flexible as possible :) I approach every booking with the same care and dedication I’d want for my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that while my legal name appears on my profile, I prefer to go by TJ. I’m excited to meet your pets and provide them with personalized, dependable care! I always make sure to spend as much time with my pets as possible and take care of their needs to let them know they are loved:) I have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their environment. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding and fresh water to litter box care, attention, and making sure they feel at ease in their space. I’ve also been regularly caring for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week since July 2025, so I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully and providing dependable, attentive care while their owners are away.

About: I freaking LOVE dogs. And they love me! I’m very patient, playful, caring and alert. We love having fun together— we both get the zoomies! Dogs tend to listen to and respect me easily. I help them to feel safe by making boundaries clear. I have a lot of experience noticing any indicators if something is off, administering meds, and continuing their existing training. I just love being their buddy! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Having a chance to take a walk or spend time with a pet is a great chance for me to clear my mind and get outside. I try to stick a schedule that a pet is accustomed to whenever possible. I get to know their personality and see how I can help them have a good time, and feel safe and comfortable when we’re together. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Whittaker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Whittaker is $31 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $39 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 2,452 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Whittaker. 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 Whittaker. 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 Whittaker 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 Whittaker. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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 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.
