“What a great experience with Melissa! Very friendly, great communication and attentive. She walked my dog Lenny, and he loved her and was so happy to see her. Will definitely be letting her walk him from now on.”
“I was in a bit of a last minute bind, and Mike really helped me out with his walks. Milo adores him, and he can be prickly with some men. He's excited when he hears Mike come down the hallway, and I always get cute pictures with little stories to tell me about his adventures. I absolutely recommend Mike if you need someone to care for your pup.”
“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!”
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.
About: Most of my pet care experiences are from owning lizard and fishes. But 5 months ago, I started dog walking and I recently adopted a cat and I realized how much I enjoyed being around furry friends ✨️😊 Since it's my summer break from college, I would love to use this as opportunity to enjoy my summer break with furry friends while earning money. 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 😊
“Fatime was more than happy and comfortable to walk our 3 year old lab and two of our new 4-month old puppies! She walked all three of them at the same time twice a day while we were away. She always sent photos and kept us updated on how the walks went. I felt so comfortable leaving our pups with her. Would 1000% rebook her and plan to do so!”
“Macy was wonderful with my pet. I was getting constant updates before and after the walk. My oet was very comfortable with her. This is the first time I had a stress free vacation. Would definitely recommend Macy to anyone and would go for a repeat incase I need in future.”

I have a large fully fenced in yard with no openings for animals to get out or get in. I’m home throughout the day so your pet will not be left alone.
“I don’t know what my dog is thinking, but I’m 1000% sure if she could talk she would tell me how much she loves her new friend. I have booked both walks and drop ins with Juan. He has always taken such good care of my little lady, everything from helping her socialize, become a better leash Walker and be less distracted (no easy task for a puppy)he goes the extra mile and keeps me well informed and up to date about what is going on. If your ever in need of someone to take l care of your dog and want to make sure their needs are met. I 10/10 recommend booking Juan you won’t be disappointed!”
“I highly recommend Elizabeth as your dog walker. She is reliable, sends photos, and shows true care for your pet. I know my dog loved her two visits and walks from Elizabeth today. I will definitely have her back again.”

About: I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs and pets for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also regularly watch my boyfriend’s family dog, who is very energetic and rambunctious, and I’m experienced in keeping him calm, relaxed, and well-behaved on walks. I am currently working on my masters thesis from home, providing me with a flexible schedule to provide walks at many hours of the day. I enjoy long walks myself and thought that it would be amazing to pair my love for the outdoors with some furry friends! I do not currently offer in home services at this moment. I am unable to care for pets in my own home as we have some renovations happening.
About: I am literally crazy for canines—love their beautiful souls and their big hearts. I am new to professional pet sitting but have over 25 years of experience looking after my own dogs. I spend a lot of time with my senior girls but have flexibility in my schedule to care for your canine babies. My son Armaan has a special bond with all animals, bugs, birds, etc. He can pretty much take care of any pet! I will be looking after your pets in your home. I will accompany dogs into the yard to play and check to make sure yard gates are closed properly. No yard? No problem! I can take them out on a mini walk so they can relieve themselves. On walks, I am careful to maintain a safe distance between dogs and other walkers, joggers, etc. I make sure dogs are well hydrated and their environment is safe and clean.
“Gokce has been fantastic with Toonie. She is reliable, punctual, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she walks. Toonie always comes back happy and well exercised after their walks. I also appreciate the updates and photos, which give me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Gokce to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakville
Michael is amazing!! I was so anxious and hesitant giving my puppy (Ripley) to someone I didn’t know, to walk him—especially since I was alone in the home. We have used Michael many times and he is ALWAYS on time and very reliable. He also really puts in the time and effort with pictures from the walk, how Ripley did on the walk…as well as what he did (ie. poops and pees). Michael seems to genuinely love walking dogs. He has been a god send since I am injured and unable to walk Ripley myself. Michael is a gentle, calming force who knows how to handle Ripley; including his zoomies and puppy energy!! Ripley loves to meet other dogs and Michael always makes sure their meet and greet goes smoothly!! We will be using Michael again and again :)
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.
Alicia has a lovely personality and that works well with my dog. She is punctual and true to her word - never cancels at the last minute etc. Additionally, she does her very best to accommodate my schedule, even though hers is so booked up. Sage is a fan and so are we!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oakville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oakville on Rover is $24.42 per walk (as of July 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 .
There are 7,627 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Oakville. About 86% 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 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 travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oakville.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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.
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.
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.
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!
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% 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.
