“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: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or sticking to their normal routine, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any special instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and my goal is to give owners complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. As a college student with a balanced schedule , I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m also happy to commute to make pet care as convenient as possible for you Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure your pet always has fresh food and water, and maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I'm a dog person. I enjoy being around dogs and caring for them. I've read and loved all Cesar Milan's books - so many great insights on dog psychology and their relationship with humans. I work from home, so it is easy for me to be there for your pet and provide the best care they need. I also live walking distance to several beautiful parks - perfect environment for dog sitting and walking. I am a very responsible person, living in a clean house with fenced in backyard. My dog, Benji, will be a perfect playmate for your pooch, too! He is wonderfully mellow and friendly.
“Jeni is awesome!! So warm, caring and friendly. Her communication is superb sending me pictures and updates about the dogs. She’s also very prompt which I so appreciate. I absolutely will use her again. Thank you Jeni for loving my dogs when I not around to.”
“She was very thoughtful when walking my dog. It was very hot and she brought her own water bowl for him. She was careful to keep him in the shade. I highly recommend Cassandra for your pet care.”
About: I have been caring for dogs since a young age, regularly helping friends and neighbors with pet sitting and dog walking. I also gained experience working for a dog walking/pet sitting company in Sacramento, where I provided reliable, attentive care for approximately one year. After relocating to Los Angeles to continue my college education, I brought that same dedication and passion for animal care with me. I am currently studying to become a certified personal trainer, so I have plenty of free time to check in for a potty break or to take your pup on a nice long walk. I am free during the week after 10am and can be available for most weekends. I always want to make sure that the pet feels the most comfortable in their own home. Whether they are excited to see me or may be more hesitant, I always stay patient and meet them where they are at.
“This was my first time using Rover, and Alexandra was sure to make me feel confident about my choice. She was very informative and very communicative. I will definitely be using her for a future Rover Experiences for my boys. Thank you again!”

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oak Park is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 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.

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 Park. 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 Park 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 Park. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
