“We had a great experience with Michael walking our Labs. He’s super friendly, clearly loves the pups, and gave us a full recap with pictures. We’ll 100% be using him again and highly recommend him!”
“Meghan was great. She was punctual, and took great care to provide updates. She was very accommodating of some last minute schedule changes. In the midst of a heat wave with horrible air quality, she was sure to give my puppy lots of breaks and water. I will absolutely be rebooking.”
About: I am a long-time pet lover and owner! I've had large and small dogs along with cats over my life. I had a large dog (Rottweiler 98lbs) with aggression issues, so I'm not put off by a little attitude from your pet. Every animal has its own personality just like humans. I am certified in Canine First Aid and have Dog Behaviour (basic), Dog to Dog Aggression, Canine Separation Anxiety, Daycare & Group Play Assessment and Dog Walking Certification course training. I lost my pet recently from cancer and am not ready to readopt yet. I promise I will love and care for your pet as my own. I promise to be very respectful and tidy while in/around your home. I feel that communication is very important while pet parents are away, so I like to give updates and photos of our adventures. I am Oakville born and raised. I went to St.Mildred's & OTHS then studied at George Brown College. I live in Old Oakville. I am an activist on animal rights and do what I can to help ALL animals. You may find me at a protest or rally fighting for the rights of all animals on the weekends. I am very close with my family so don't be surprised if you see my folks at the house hanging out. I grew up in an animal house and my folks love animals also but don't have any pets right now either. I would love a chance to meet you and your pet family! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you :) I am a pet sitting Professional!! That's what I do!! I take care and love your pet like it was my own. I prefer to keep the dogs with me during the day if I can and they usually love the little adventures. I also have a car so we can go to a mix of parks. I live at a house with my parents with nice little yard and a park right out front. This makes it easy for quick walk and lots of good smell to keep the dog cognitive arousal fulfilled. There is an abundance of parks around me.
“Ryan was awesome. He truly cares for the dogs he walks and did a great job with our mischievous Otto. Ryan was always on time and provided great communication while we were away. We and Otto thank you and will definitely ask you walk Otto again and recommend you to anyone else.”
About: I LOVE walking, and even more so with a furry friend or two to accompany me. Currently a college student who yearns to care for your special babies in my free time! My busiest class days are Monday and Tuesday, but Friday-Sunday is free, one class on Wednesday morning and an online class Thursday afternoon that I can take with me anywhere. If my downtime will be filled with walking anyways, I might as well be walking to/with your pets! I do not ever consume alcohol or substances. Unless requested, I will never leave your pets unleashed or unattended outside. I can locate the nearby animal clinics in case of any emergencies. No area of your home or belongings will be touched without your knowledge or confirmation.
About: My experience caring for pets started with owning lizards and fish. About a year ago, I started dog walking, and I adopted a cat of my own a few months after that. Through these experiences, I've discovered how much I genuinely enjoy spending time with furry friends! 🐾✨ I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I give my own. 😊 I'm currently attending classes but I do take dog walking and house sitting jobs if it fits in my schedule. During holidays, I'm more available 😊 When I'm walking my dog client, I make sure he gets his exercise by playing catch, walking, playing with other dogs, exploring, and I make sure to keep him safe. I make sure my cat at home also gets his playtime with me, make sure his bowls are cleaned every time I refill his bowl for food and water 😊

“Elizabeth was amazing and could accommodate us on very short notice. She got along great with our pup right off the bat and provided good details and photos. We will certainly be booking again !”
About: I genuinely love animals and would be happy to give your dog plenty of attention, companionship, walks, and care. I previously worked at an animal shelter in the education sector, where I spent time around and worked with many different types of animals. I currently work as a respite and skill builder supporting adults with special needs, so I’m very comfortable being responsible, attentive, and respectful in people’s homes. I also have plenty of experience with dogs in everyday life. I currently live with my roommate’s dog, have lived with dogs with previous roommates, and have helped care for friends’ and family members’ pets and homes while they were away. I’m also an experienced traveler and have used TrustedHousesitters myself, caring for people’s pets while staying in their homes. I’ve also stayed in 25 five-star Airbnb homes while traveling, which has taught me to be exceptionally clean, considerate, and respectful of other people’s spaces. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, companionship, a consistent routine, or simply someone dependable around while you’re away, I’d love to help. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because my schedule is flexible. I work as a respite worker, with my most consistent hours generally being from 3–7 p.m., so I’m usually available during the mornings and earlier parts of the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and spending time with pets. I also work as a singer, but those jobs are usually one-off bookings that I know about in advance. I have a few regular commitments, including Thursday evenings and some Sunday mornings, but otherwise my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, favorite activities, and any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, companionship, and whatever other care your pet needs. Because I work with clients in their homes, I’m already comfortable building my day around someone else’s needs and routines. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand the importance of keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I’m responsible about keeping track of my commitments and would always make sure I have plenty of time and availability to give your pet the attention and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds since I was 5 years old. I currently have an 11 year old English Bulldog that I adopted from the shelter 6 months ago and love dearly. I am excited to begin my education in animal care (ACA) this year and ultimately join the team at the Humane Society. I have previous experience as a dog walker and am comfortable with dogs of all temperaments. Whether friendly and care-free, or nervous and reactive, I love all dogs and getting to know all sorts of personalities. I am currently a manager in the hospitality industry but will be leaving to pursue an education and career in animal care. My studies are 50% in class and 50% virtual so that allows me much flexibility for dog walking and sitting. I’m also in the process of virtually volunteering with a rescue on Texas as an animal adoption co-ordinator, which is fulfilling work in my free free time. I care for all animals like they were my own. I am a responsible, truste, experienced house, pet and babysitter. I enjoy cleaning and organization so you can trust me to keep your home just as tidy as you left it and your pets healthy, happy and groomed!
About: I have two cats and two year old Border Collie mix. I have owned animals all my life (cats, dogs, bunnies, rats) and you can count on me to treat your pets as I would my own. I am currently awaiting the start of school, so have unlimited availability to care for your pets. Whatever service you need, walking, or sitting, I am more than willing to help with. I have a huge fenced in yard with a pool, which my puppy loves to run around in. Inside, there's lots of variety with dog and cat toys. The cats enjoy a handmade scratching post over two-feet tall and tens of toys.
“We were so glad to have Kassandra available to walk Reggie for a couple weeks. She was excellent to communicate with and always sent the update with photos shortly after the walk. Reggie was happy to get out with her every day. Will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need someone!”
“Chyna was an excellent choice for our pup. With schedules being tight she accommodated our first meet and greet at a very early hour. She asked thoughtful questions and had a great interaction with our dog. We will definitely use her again.”
“My dog Bella loved her daily walks with Natasha while I was away from home. Bella can be reactive and easily exciteable on walks but Natasha seemed to do great with her because Bella always comes back happy. Natasha took great photos of Bella on their walks together. She was also great with communication and fast responses.”
About: I have had lots of pets over the years, including dogs, hamsters, and fish, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. My experience ranges from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra attention and patience. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I am dedicated to making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddles, I will treat every pet like family. I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to dedicate regular time throughout the day for feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, ensuring pets receive reliable and consistent care during both weekdays and weekends. Whether I’m watching pets in my home or the owner’s home, I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and pet-friendly. I follow all instructions for feeding, routines, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they always feel comfortable and secure. I also keep communication open with owners and send photo updates.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was 15, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, and I truly cherish every opportunity to spend time with them. I genuinely enjoy connecting with dogs—understanding their personalities, listening to their needs, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m responsible, punctual, and respectful, while also bringing a playful and caring energy to every interaction. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet, so I make it a priority to send regular updates and photos to keep you reassured that your dog is in safe hands and having a great time. My home is pet-friendly, with large windows where dogs can relax and soak up the sun. Our building also offers excellent amenities, including a dedicated pet spa area where dogs’ paws are cleaned before entering, as well as a designated walking path for their daily exercise and bathroom needs. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Im currently at home. So I'll be able to take care of your dog throughout the week. I like to take them for a walk 3-4 times in a day. Play with them and also provide them food 2-3 times a day depending upon their schedule. I have a huge park in my building area if incase your dog wants to go out and enjoy a sunny day! I also feed them food as per the instructions given by the dog owner. I make sure I put up their leash before I take them out. I also make them comfortable and cozy when they want to sleep. Play with them, pet them and cuddle them most of the times.
About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life and have always considered them part of the family. I would love to use my experience and passion for animals to help families who are short on time, travelling, or simply need some extra support with their pets. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and injections to sick or injured pets belonging to family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and dependable caring for your pets. I am reliable, punctual, and attentive, and I will treat your pet with the same love, care, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work four days a week and I’m able to check on your animals anytime after 5 PM (Monday-Thursday). Full availability Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’m also able to stay at your home if preferred. I will provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow each pet’s routine as requested and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I’m also comfortable providing medication and injections when needed and will keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family—with patience, love, and lots of care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Archer gets excited when Emily arrives, and he comes back happy and tired after walks! She also works on his training during walks, which we love. She's reliable, communicates clearly, and clearly cares about him. We'd happily recommend her to other pet parents.
Guangxu is a great sitter. He takes his time to walk Luffy and allows him to sniff and enjoy the weather even if he ends up going past their 30 minute walk. I like that he cleans Luffys bum and paws after their walks as his paws are sensitive to outdoor allergens. Thank you!
Gokce was amazing. She was very communicative, keeping us informed of any issues that arose with our dogs while we were away. The dogs quickly took to Gokce which gave us the required calm to go away and leave our beloved pets in the hands of a highly competent provider. We would love to use Gokce again!
I’m so grateful for the care and attention my dog received. Julia did a fantastic job—reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I could tell my dog was happy and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Oakville is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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.
There are 7,557 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Oakville. About 87% of Oakville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 Oakville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
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 Oakville 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Oakville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oakville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
