About: I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely care about the animals I watch. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they’re safe and comfortable while in my care I have a senior dog of my own, so I’m very familiar with routines, medications, and taking things at an older pet’s pace. Over the years I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, birds, snakes, and just about anything else you can think of. I spent many years as a teacher, but recently made the decision to step into a slower pace of life. Now I’m available daily for pet visits or dogs walks. I love being able to give animals the calm, consistent attention they deserve. Right now I provide pet care (daily visits, walks etc) exclusively in my clients’ homes, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I do not offer care in my own home.

“Julien was absolutely wonderful with my little boy, Coco! I booked him four times, and from the very first walk, I knew Coco was in great hands. Julien was friendly, trustworthy, reliable, and so good with Coco. Coco can be VERY picky about who he likes, so the fact that he immediately took to Julien was a huge sign for me! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Coco was happy and comfortable with him. I would absolutely book Julien again and again. He’s fantastic, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up with family dogs and I'm often a pet sitter for my friends dogs. I'm trustworthy and love to play with pups. New to this platform. I work remotely so I'm pretty flexible in the day, especially week days. I'm available at short notice for cuddles, dinner, playtime and walks :) I have a nice yard they can explore and they are welcome to go on the sofa with covers on. I'll provide 3 walks a day and provide playtime for your pup too.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make each visit feel safe, calm, and enjoyable. Whether it’s a good walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m dependable and attentive to their needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. Being retired gives me the flexibility to make pet care a meaningful part of my day. My schedule is open and flexible, which allows me to provide reliable, unhurried walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I enjoy having a routine and getting out for walks, so spending time with pets is a perfect fit. I can give each pet the individual attention they need rather than rushing through a visit, and I’m happy to work with their usual feeding, walking, and care routines. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions carefully, making sure they have fresh water, attention, exercise, and plenty of affection. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping things clean and secure and making sure everything is as you left it. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Thanks for checking out my profile! Worried about your fur babies safety and care when your not home? Don’t worry I've been around dogs since I was a kid. I grew up around chihuahuas, huskies, pomeranian mixes, shiba inus, Korean Jindo dogs, cats, fishes, and more. Spending time with all of these breeds I have ample experience bathing, walking, and feeding our pets. Fun fact about me: I also graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in human biology and a minor in environmental systems. Two years ago, I adopted an adolescent 3 year old cat from a local shelter and have been caring for him ever since. He is a rambunctious kitty and I have learned fun and creative ways to get him to exercise and stay fairly fit. Just 7 months ago, I adopted my first personal dog, Luna a 1.5 year old puppy from Korea. Under my guidance and training, I've learned that she is incredibly talented and picks up tricks and skills so quickly. For example, I trained her to jump on rocks, benches, etc... on command, she can differentiate the differences between sit-pretty and stand on her hind legs. Basic commands like sit, down, stay, paw, spin, come, etc... I take her on multiple hour long walks every day, and would love the opportunity to spend time and dedicated care with your fur babies as well! I would love to dedicate my time to caring for your pets, either through long walks or pet check-ins, because they deserve to be well looked after while their parents are away from home. WHAT TO EXPECT: I will arrive 5-10 minutes early and get your dog ready for a walk. Your dog will get a full 30-minute (or 60-minute) walk. Then I'll drop your dog off at home, refill their water, and give any last-minute pets for 5 minutes. Rover cards and pictures will be shared once the walk is complete :D During the walk with your dog, I will always: 1. Ensure provided equipment and leashes are safe and secure to use (as well as bring my own in case of emergencies) 2. Ensure your dog's favorite treats are in my training pouch before the walk 3. Provide ample water for your pet during/after their walk 4. Scan and be observant of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety 5. Cross the street to avoid any on-leash greetings or off-leash dogs During the pet (30-minute) check-ins with your pet, I will always: 1. Spend 5 minutes carefully entering your home and kindly greeting your pet with their favorite treat 2. Take them on a 10-minute potty break outside if needed 3. Spend 10 minutes playing with them inside your home 4. Spend the last 5 minutes giving any last-minute cuddles and love as I can More time will be spent loving your pet for a 60-minute check-in!

About: I've taken care of my own dog and other dogs for over 5 years several times so they have trusted me with their loved one when a sitter was needed or when they have been out of town. I'm currently unemployed and have time to walk dogs almost daily. Normally, I work remote and still am able to walk daily as well but not as flexible. I have a mini goldendoodle with a small fenced yard, however we go on walks at different times of the day and typically did not stay in the yard as it is fairly small.

About: I was raised with 13 dogs and caring for animals since age three, I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, training, rescues, and giving loving, attentive care. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I work part-time and remotely. I grew up on a farm and have always loved caring for animals every day. I really don't know a day that doesn't involve taking care of an animal :) I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, training reinforcement, cuddles, and keeping them calm, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, and most of my experience comes from my two senior dogs, Butterball and Millie. Growing up with them taught me hands-on skills such as administering eye drops, giving oral medications, and providing gentle senior care. Butterball is a notoriously picky eater, so I’ve become very comfortable helping picky eaters feel relaxed and confident during mealtime. In addition to dogs, I’ve fostered cats of all ages for the past four years, which has taught me how to meet their different developmental and medical needs. I currently have one cat, Beanie, who enjoys playtime, outdoor exploration on a harness, and plenty of cuddles, and I bring that same level of attention and patience to every cat I care for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your fur babies, get to know their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. I am currently at pharmacy school and my schedule varies a bit from going to school at 9 am and ending latest by 3 pm. The schedule does change every few weeks but I will be sure to let you know prior! I also work every other weekend, but I will know my schedule about a month in advance and can plan around. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with my cat, who spends most of his day lounging comfortably. In the evenings, I set up his toys for enrichment and dedicated playtime to keep him stimulated and happy. We also live near a duck pond, which is one of his favorite places to explore on a harness he loves watching (and sometimes trying to chase!) the ducks. When I’m caring for dogs, I walk them around the apartment complex or bring them to the duck pond for a calm morning or evening stroll. After our walks, I always wipe them down to keep them clean and comfortable before settling in for cuddles and downtime. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and relaxed environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I follow their routines closely, keep a close eye on their comfort, and make sure they get the love, structure, and enrichment they need.

Absolutely loved Lijuan! I knew she was taking such good care of my girl on a day we weren’t able to be there. I felt so much better knowing someone so responsive was there, Lijuan gave a report card and updates and sent a ton of pictures and it was a great experience. Will absolutely book with her again! Thank you Lijuan, it means everything to me! 😊

Helen is a dog walking rock star. We travel a fair amount, and knowing she has our pups is the reason we're not worrying the whole time we're gone. We come home to dogs who are calm, happy, and obviously well cared for, and that doesn't happen by accident — it's the exercise and the real attention she gives them. If you're looking for someone to trust with your dogs, it's Helen. AAA+++

This is me and my husband’s first time using Rover and with 2 dogs who can be reactive and have high energy, we had some reservations about picking a walker. Lauriane was very sweet and understanding of our dogs’ little quirks and the did great with her during our meet and greet and first walk together. She provided so many photos/videos which we really appreciated!! 10/10 recommend.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oak Knoll

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oak Knoll is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $39 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 21,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Knoll. 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 Knoll. 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 Knoll 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 Knoll. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
