Dog Walking Oak Park

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little guy during his walk! 😍 He may look like a big boy on the outside, but he’s actually very timid on the inside—and we are so grateful that you approached building a connection with him with such gentle sensitivity. 🙏🏻 Next time, we’ll definitely come straight back to you! 😉”

About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.

“Julia was wonderful. She was always on time and spent quality time with our corgi, taking him on his morning and evening walks. We’ll use her again and recommend anyone in the Agora Hills area consider hiring her.”

About: I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want. I have a fenced yard and I work from home. I have a flexible schedule. Consequently, I can adapt my schedule to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and I have no other dogs. Even though the house is on two levels, it's easy for dogs to navigate.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and dog watching for several years and have had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs, including several families who trust me with their pets year after year. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply relaxing together and keeping them company. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, dog sitting is a fun and rewarding way for me to get my dog fix while helping pet owners feel confident that their furry family members are being well cared for. I treat every dog as if they were my own and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’m an elementary school teacher, so I have summers off and extra flexibility in my schedule during those months. Rover is a fun way for me to stay active, spend time with animals, and earn a little extra income while school is out. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I love getting my dog fix by caring for and spending time with other people’s pets! Your dog will be cared for in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment where they’ll have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also live with my partner, who loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care while staying with us. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

“Thank you for responsible caring my dog.”

About: I am a teacher on summer break looking for a side gig. I have had animals my whole life including the 2 cats I own on my own now for the past 5 years. A few years ago my mom got a puppy who I spend most of my days walking and playing with. I love to be outdoors and love animals even more, so thought why not offer up my skills! I am currently a teacher on summer and available most days of the week! I am looking to walk your dog in the morning and or afternoon! I keep my pets safe in my house because they are indoor cats I make sure they can’t get anything that would make them sick and that all doors are closed at all times. I am a very overprotective cat mom, so I can ensure that I will make sure to follow all of the things you need me to do to make sure your animals are safe! As mentioned above I’m also a teacher and great at following directions and paying close attention to detail!

About: Hi! I'm Marty! I have been an animal lover my whole life. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets when they go on vacation or they are busy. I'd be honored to walk, play with, love, and/or sit for your furry family members when needed. I live in the area, and I am available when your fur babies need some extra attention, exercise, love, and care while you are away. I'm currently available full time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm open and available for boarding as well. I love being outdoors, and going on walks in nature. I also live in a beautiful complex that is pet friendly with lots of outdoor grassy nature areas, and a big park to walk to and play in just three blocks away from me. I can crate your pet too if needed.

“Dodi was wonderful. She kept us apprised of our dogs’ activities throughout the day, and went above and beyond what we had expected. When she came over to introduce herself to our “girls”, it was obvious that Dodi is a dog person. We would definitely use her again. Thank you, Dodi, for giving us the peace of mind that our girls were well cared for while we were away. Lauren, Ron, Maddie and Maggie”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals since I was a toddler, ranging from dogs and cats to farm animals and small critters, and I’m eager to meet yours! I currently care for a puppy, a senior lab mix, a rabbit, and horse of my own. I am a college student at the College of Charleston, and will be home for the summer, and am eager to get to spend my days looking after your fur babies in my spare time. I’m available for pet sitting on the weekdays and weekends. I am also accommodating of last-minute drop-in bookings or overnight stays to care for your pets. I cater to each pet’s unique needs and the preferences of their owners. I remain attentive to their behaviors and personalities, ensuring I understand what brings them joy and contentment.

“Thanks to david we were able to enjoy our wedding day knowing the boys had been properly walked!”

About: I've taken care of dogs large and small for over a decade from bull mastiffs to anatolian shepherds. As a Behavioral Interventionist/therapist with 6 years of experience, I have developed strong observation skills, patience, attention to detail, and the ability to respond calmly to changing situations. Pet owners can expect someone who is loving, dependable, observant, and committed to treating their pets with the same care and respect that I would give my own. Whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering routines, or providing companionship while owners are away, I take pride in ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working part-time as a school aide and a first time dad, but have plenty of time to play and attend your pet’s needs this summer. I am available for sitting on weekends and week days anytime until the next school year starts on August 14th 2026. I lived on a fenced property while raising our dogs. I can provide pets with consistent care, attention, and supervision based on their individual needs and routines. Whether that’s indoors or out.

“Cecilia was excellent! she was extremely helpful during my last minute out of town call; my pup was in the best hands while i was away, highly recommend:)”

“This was our first time ever using a dog walker on Rover. Courtney went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. She is very responsive, and also provided us updates with pictures. We will definitively will use Courtney again.”

About: I’d love the chance to care for your pup! I’m a big animal lover and know how important it is for dogs to feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention they deserve. You can count on me to treat your furry friend like family! Being a florist means I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs in between designing arrangements and setting up events. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit dog sitting into my day. I love the balance it brings—flowers and furry friends both brighten my life! Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable by sticking to their routine and giving them plenty of attention and care.
