Ladybug adores her and gets excited as soon as Jillian arrives. We are very happy with Jillian's service and would definitely book her again :)”

About: Hey everyone! I’m Muhammad 😊 I recently graduated from Cornell and now work remotely. But outside of work, one of my favorite things is being around animals. Growing up, I raised baby chicks that quickly became my little best friends. Ever since, I’ve dreamed of one day having a farm with horses or even opening an animal rescue shelter. For now, I figured Rover was a pretty great place to start! I joined because I genuinely want to spend more time with animals, get out of the house, and make a little furry friend’s day. Whether your pet wants to run around and play, go on long walks, or just have someone sit with them and keep them company, I’m all for it. I know pets aren’t just pets. They’re family. And if you’re trusting me with yours, I want you to feel as comfortable as if you were leaving them with a friend. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I’d want someone to give my own. ❤️🐾 I work remotely, so I have some flexibility throughout the day to give your pets attention, play with them, and keep them company. I can fit pet care into my routine without making your pet feel like an afterthought. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting the attention they need. I also know every animal has their own personality, so I’ll respect their boundaries and follow whatever instructions you leave me. You know your pet best, and I’m here to make things easy for both of you.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet's unique needs. My experience includes everything from training and caring for energetic puppies to providing gentle support for senior pets and attentive care for animals with medical needs or illnesses. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet needs playtime, patience, medication, or extra TLC, you can count on me to provide dependable, experienced care that gives you peace of mind. I am currently dual career, working at the hospital two days a week and then as a real estate agent from home. So I have plenty of time to spend time with your babes! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel at ease. My apartment community features a secure dog park, plenty of sidewalks for daily walks, and beautiful natural areas for safe exploration and exercise. Whether your dog enjoys playtime or leisurely walks, they'll have plenty of opportunities to stay active. I also have a friendly, well-socialized cat who has been around dogs for most of his life and is comfortable sharing his space with respectful canine guests. I always introduce pets thoughtfully and monitor interactions to help ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect your pet's established routine and environment. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special requests, so your pet receives consistent, loving care while you're away.

About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of animals for many years, and dog walking for close to 10 years. I have experience with every size, breed, and personality of dog and love them all. I’m very active and would love for a companion to join me on my walks! I’m currently in college, so I will have plenty of flexibility around my school schedule to take care of your pets! Currently, I’m on summer break so my schedule is even more flexible. I have lots of experience walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My dog is over 100lbs so I am confident walking larger dogs and my previous dog was leash reactive so I am also experienced with reactivity. I’m a confident dog walker and am confident in my abilities to have a safe, happy, and fun walk for everyone.

About: I’ve been around animals most of my life and some of my favorite people are Furry Ones! I’m always up for walks, visits and snuggles! Summer Hours Update: I am available anytime during the summer! I’m not limited to my school schedule until August 10th, 2026 I’m looking to make some new furry friends! I teach elementary school, so I’m up early and at work by 7am, and out of work by 3:00. I’m available most weekdays for walks and visits 3-10 pm. I also am available most weekends all day! I will take care of your pet as I would my own! I am available to come to your home, and when I am caring for your pets I will give them extra time and attention. My drop-in visits are usually at least an hour, especially if there are more than just one pet. Our cat prefers to be a consistent Only Child, so bringing your pet to my house is unfortunately not an option currently. If you have them, I prefer written specific needs/directions so that there is no confusion about what your pet’s needs are.

About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and family friends, including paid dog walking and pet sitting. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention and care they receive at home. Besides my job, pet care fits well into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I make time for what they need and I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive meals on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and keep them in a safe environment. During walks, pets securely leashed, and treat every home and pet with respect and care.

About: I use Reiki and massage when animals and their humans are accepting of it. My rates are built to service a wider geographical area. Please ask about lower rates for care needed close to my home, or other existing clients. I grew up with many cats (over many years), and a dog. We had several dogs in the neighborhood I would help and visit with, and have experience with horses and other animals of air, land and sea. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and horses professionally for a little over three decades. I am self-employed and make my own schedule, so I’m busy, but flexible with enough notice or if there is a gap in my schedule. I have a big and friendly dog of my own who would want to stay with me if you require overnight dog or cat sitting, depending on how far you are from our home. My end-unit townhome backs up to the retention pond. I can see the walking trail that backs up to the forest from my deck. My small, fenced-in backyard opens up to a wheelchair accessible paver path. So ideal for older pets who need less/no stairs. I’ve cared for many elderly animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oak Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oak Grove is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 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 15,626 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Grove. 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 Oak Grove. 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 Oak Grove 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 Oak Grove. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
