“Haley was so attentive and kind with my sweet pup. She came to check on her while I was at work and could not get home during my lunch break. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I focus on purposeful walks that help dogs feel balanced and secure rather than rushed or overstimulated. As a veteran, reliability, situational awareness, and consistency are second nature to me. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and surroundings to ensure each walk is safe and stress-free. I keep my client list intentionally manageable so every dog receives focused attention and consistent care. I maintain a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the day and week. While my routine is structured to ensure reliability, I’m able to accommodate a wide range of times, including evenings, based on client needs. In my own home and in clients homes, I prioritize cleanliness, structure, and routine. I maintain a calm environment, monitor behavior closely, and ensure pets are always secure, supervised, and comfortable. I respect boundaries and follow care instructions exactly as provided.

About: I have a Great Dane of my own who is 11 years old. I’ve had her since she was a puppy so I’ve learned a lot about dog health, behavior, and everything in between I stay at home daily, so I am able to let dogs out and walk them as needed. I understand if you’re picky because I am with my own dog! I give my dog at least 1 walk a day, so I feel comfortable walking big dogs and understand the need for exercise. Please let me know if there are any issues with walking on a leash (pulling, reacting, etc)

Jacklyn took really good care of my Opal girl while I was gone! I would say she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was taken care of. I can tell by the pictures that Opal really enjoyed their time together too. I would definitely book again with Jacklyn and I highly recommend everyone books with her too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wilmington Island on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,036 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wilmington Island. 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 Wilmington Island. 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 Wilmington Island.

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 Wilmington Island. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
