“Luke (Dog Walker!!) is a very amiable gentleman. I could count on him to pickup and return Cody for the 30 minute period. It's obvious he likes dogs, and Cody gets excited to see him when we open the door. I feel so much relief knowing I can count on Luke to exercise my dog since I am unable to.”

About: I am a dependable and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with all types of animals. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and ready for a long walk or happiest with some extra attention and belly rubs. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care while keeping their normal routine in mind. I want every visit to be something your dog looks forward to and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away! As a college student at the University of Oklahoma, my schedule is fairly flexible, more so in the afternoons. I have classes mostly in the morning during the week, but I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are also pretty open, with Saturday home football games being my only commitment. I have lots of flexibility to work around your pet’s routine. Since I’ll mainly be doing walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure I follow the instructions you leave for your pet and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll pay attention to their behavior and surroundings while we’re out walking, and I’ll make sure they’re settled and comfortable before I leave. I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure I leave things the way I found them. I’m happy to send a few pictures or updates during the visit so you know how things are going.

About: I’ve have grown up around dog my whole life and have taken care of my own, friends, and family’s pets since I was 12! I have always loved to be around dogs and would love to get to love on yours! I am a full time student at the University of Oklahoma!

I care for pets like there are my own. I will love them, play with them, feed them and even bathe them if needed. I believe that these animals are my own when I take care of them.

About: Ever since I was little I have had a passion for caring and loving animals! When I was just 13 years old, I started my own pet sitting company and I’ve been doing it ever since. I have taken care of very old and injured dogs as well as newborn puppies. I love them all:) I am currently in college and have a very flexible schedule. The only time I have class is MWF from 10am-3pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays no class! I like for the animals to be inside with me, when I am out or inside the house. If I let them out, I like to be outside watching them most of the times. They are always welcome to be inside with me whenever they want.

About: Dogs are a man's best friend. Be it small, medium, or big dogs, they are every person's precious fur baby. I have taken care of my family's dogs for years as well as friends and neighbors. From Pugs to Great Danes, I have a wide variety of dogs I have cared for and loved. I currently work part time, so fitting in some time to play with and walk pets will be no problem for me. I am typically available after 3 PM, but please feel free to reach out if you are looking for a different time! Keeping pets loved and happy has always been a goal for me. I enjoy being active, so when animals have those bursts of energy I like to play it all off! However, if a pet is showing that they want space to themselves, that is okay. Whatever they need is what I am willing to provide.

About: I've found, rescued, and adopted all kinds of animals since the age of four. Dogs, cats, ferrets, frogs, mice, hamsters, fish, frogs, crabs, snakes, turtles, lizards, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and other birds. A dog’s loyalty, love and honesty are unmatched. Mine actually rescued me just days before my mother passed on. She's a huge blessing and saved me in my darkest days. I'm thankful for the connection we have and I’m very grateful for her. I’m beyond blessed to have her because she’s the sweetest soul, a cutie and super smart! She’s gets along with all other animals and is house trained. She’s not loud or destructive and only chews on her toys. She’s also knows at least 20+ commands as well as non-verbal commands using our own custom sign language. She’s kennel and leash trained for public and traveling purposes but 99.9% of the time she’s right by my side at home with me. I am available 24/7 anytime day or night. My work is at home and I usually sleep about seven hours each night. Plenty of play time! Two larger crates Two sets of bowls Five dog beds Variety of treats I take my baby girl out to my fenced and locked backyard about five to six times a day. There is an extra food and water bowl I keep in the backyard for their convenience. I prefer to only give them treats or chew toys / hides in my direct supervision incase any choking ever occurs. So far, that's never happened :) My baby girl loves dog and cat friends. She likes to cuddle inside and play outside. She loves kids and elderly people at my grandma's retirement center! She has several dog friends she sees on a regular basis that range from little Chihuahuas and Jack Russells to big Rottweilers! They all love eachother and play nicely without any incidents. My dog is very sweet natured towards other animals and people. I have a medium and a large crate incase they are doing too much playing and not enough eating/resting. If I notice one dog doesn't want to play but the other does and is constantly trying, but the other is getting annoyed I will separate them for a bit. Lol If your dog doesn't do well with crates just let me know. I can train them to be or we can just avoid them completely. Whichever suites you!

About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. My last baby traveled over the rainbow bridge and I’m looking for dogs to care for and give lots of snuggles. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run. My two grandsons are here after school most days, so if I’m watching your family fur baby in my home they need to be good with kids. Happy to take walks, play fetch, and be their companion while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for walks, take outside fun breaks and give love and snuggles throughout the day. I am also able to go to your home to let your animals out and give some love a few times a day if needed. I can bring my laptop and work from your home to pet sit if you have high speed internet. I’m off most weekends. I have a large fences yard and a park close to my house. I live alone with no animals. I have two grandsons (7 and 11 years old) that walk to my house after school. I usually only have them for an hour or two before they are picked up. But if your dogs are staying at my house they need to be kid friendly.

About: Hi my name is Randen. I am a US Army veteran and OU alumni. I have a flexibile schedule and plenty of time to give your pet a lot of attention. I’ve grown up with, and taken care of dogs of all sorts and sizes. From my two loveable 12 lbs Bischon Havanese (Kari and Nana), to my 115 lbs drool monster ST Bernard (Ally). If your dog is a free spirit who can run for days or a chill dude that wants to sit in the grass and get some sun, I’m here to help. I have also assisted with medication applications - whether it be pill form or eye drops. If your pet has any special needs I will be patient and careful with them, just inform me of what is required. Looking forward to meeting you and becoming your fur babies new best friend.

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and love all dogs and all their unique personalties. I love going on walk and just playing outside. I am in college, but have plenty of time to take care of pets with my flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own at home and do not struggle at all to meet his needs. I have a pet of my own, but my lease does not allow any other pets to be in the house. So I will not be able to board dogs at my personal house.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked on my aunt’s ranch where I cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience with dogs since I showed my dog in 4H and won several awards. I love animals of all shapes and sizes so I’m sure I will be a perfect fit for your furry friend. I care for my pets every morning and every night. During three of the weekdays, I have class but I return home right after to spend time with them and get them exercise. I carry dog treats with me when doing visits to help the dogs feel more comfortable. I also enjoy taking long walks with dogs to keep them entertained. I am particularly fond of cats, as they are my favorite animal. I have four cats myself, and I think cats are truly precious. I love taking care of animals. My apartment complex features a significant amount of green space and a dog park. In my apartment, there are dog toys, cat toys, cat trees, and three different pet water fountains.

About: I have worked with animals my entire life. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and currently live with three cats. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, and special needs cats. I can administer insulin/ syringe medication, and will be patient with the needs of your pal! Most available early mornings and most evenings. I have experience primarily with small dogs and any kind of cat, with some experience with larger dogs. I have experience administer medications (i.e. insulin to a feline with a needle syringe), bathing animals, ear cleaning, walking, and basic care practices. I have lived around animals my entire life, and cared for many varying sizes and ages. I believe individualized care is important for each animal! Knowing what they like, how they act, and how to care for them individually is important in order to provide the best outcomes possible. I have a lot of love and patience with animals, and will update you consistently in order to share that love and relief.

About: Hi, My name is Julia. It says Julie on here but I go by Julia. I have been hosting for a little over 10 years. Currently, I watch one client at a time. I do not have any pets of my own. I also do not have kids. I am home majority of the time but I do clean houses on the side almost every day. It’s usually 4 to 5 hours. If your pet requires 24/7 care, please let me know so we can discuss payment options & go over your expectations. There will be an additional fee since I will not pick up any cleans during the stay. We can discuss & work something out that is fair. Common questions: Do you have other guests dogs at the same time? No, I work my schedule around what I already have booked. How big is your fenced yard? It’s medium sized. Gated/secured. & always stand outside with them for safety. Do you offer walks? Only if I feel very comfortable with your pet for safety precautions. Cat fee: I am allergic to cats so I charge a little more than I would for a dog. I have many regular clients with cats. House sitting: I usually require a meet n greet if you’re a new client. Preference to not stay in secluded areas in the country for safety. I will follow the schedule you provide. I bring my own belongings, food, or doordash. I don’t use anything without permission or asking first. Safety is very important to me so I will always make sure your house is secure. If you require that I be in your home full time please let me know so we can discuss payment details. Boarding: Pet will have free range of the home. I usually let them be in living room when I leave somewhere until I return. If they have high anxiety, I will sometimes take them with me for a drive if owner is okay with that. Separation anxiety is very common in dogs when they get boarded. Some respond better than others while some require more time/patience to adjust. They usually come around after a few hours. Sometimes it could take a couple days. Refusing to eat when being boarded is also very common but will keep you informed. Senior pet care: Most of my clients have pets that are seniors. I understand they can sometimes be grumpy. I am use to medicines, supplements, & any other medical issue that they need such an insulin shots or heart issues. Puppy/Kittens: I rarely accept puppies or kittens. A meet n greet would be required & my rate is higher since they require a lot more time and energy. How long will my pet be left alone? I am usually gone no more than 4 hours at time. Sometimes 5 depending on the day. Do you crate animals? No, unless they come with one or is use to sleeping in one at night. Do you have any other jobs? Yes, I do house cleaning on the side. I use to do this full time where I stayed booked all month long. Due to the economy, clients don’t travel as much as they did a few years ago. I had to have another source of income. Schedule: I always go by my clients schedule. I usually bring them with me in my room. Sometimes leave the door open so they can roam around if they want to. Bathroom breaks every couple of hours or as often as they want. Safety: I monitor outside time to prevent anything from happening. Always make sure pets are in sight of where I am. When staying in your home, I always make sure to double check that everything is locked, secured, and nothing is left on before I leave the house to go anywhere. I value my job a lot and would not want anything to happen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Norman is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 1,207 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Norman. 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 Norman. 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 , 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 Norman 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norman. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
