“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 have experience dog sitting and handling dogs of all ages and sizes! I am compassionate and caring ensuring the best care is provided every time I currently have a very open availability to provide care in the home setting as well as walks and visits. I am passionate for caring for animals and make it a priority to be dependable in my care. I make cleanliness a priority ensuring that the pet is safely and lovingly taken care of while maintaining the cleanliness of the home for the pet owner! Making sure the pet is safe and cared for is always my number one priority at all times including when walking the dogs, inside the home or in the yard etc.
“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.”

“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: Grew up taking care of our family’s two dogs and currently have a senior/special needs rescued ShihPoo, named Maggi, who is my world! I’ve stayed over night as a house/dog/cat sitter for 6 days at a time while taking care of 4 dogs and one cat! I’ve dog sat for roommates, family friends, and family in the past. I absolutely LOVE dogs and have a running joke in my family that I am the “dog whisperer” who can make dogs appear anywhere (like the store, airport, etc.). I am earning my doctorate at CLU, so working to help pay for classes :) *Availability is updated through the end of August 2026!* Mostly weekend availability, with some opportunities for drop-ins/walks sprinkled throughout the week. I am working around classes at CLU, but am very flexible with timing otherwise :) I have wood flooring all over the apartment and have a senior rescue with some potty troubles, so if your little one has an accident, no biggie! I’ve got lots of green throughout our complex and am able to walk on sidewalks with no vehicles nearby for lots of safety :)
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 genuinely love walking dogs and believe that a well-exercised dog is a happier, healthier dog. Whether your pup enjoys a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a long, energetic hike, I’m happy to tailor each walk to their age, personality, and energy level. I’m in excellent physical shape and enjoy being active, so I’m comfortable with everything from short potty breaks to longer adventures that help dogs stay mentally and physically stimulated. My goal is to make every walk safe, fun, and something your dog looks forward to. I have prior experience caring for celebrity clients’ dogs, but I treat every dog like a VIP. I am also an artist who loves creating pet portraits of many of my former and current customers! After retiring from the corporate world, I’m excited to devote my time to something I’ve always loved—caring for pets. I began dog walking and pet sitting for a celebrity couple in 2002 as a side job, and now I’m making pet care my full-time focus. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I look forward to giving every pet the attention, exercise, and loving care they deserve. I have experience caring for pets both in clients’ homes and in my own. For about a year, I worked for a couple in the entertainment industry, providing daily care for their pets while they traveled for work. I was trusted not only with their pets, but also with the security and care of their home, including overnight, weekend, and extended stays. I understand the importance of being dependable, respectful of your home, and keeping you updated while you’re away. At home, I recently said goodbye to my beloved companion, Charlie, after nearly 13 wonderful years together. While our home doesn’t currently have pets of its own, that means I can devote my full attention and care to your pet. I prefer to care for one family’s pet(s) at a time so they receive the individualized attention, love, and companionship they deserve.
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.

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.
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.
About: I’ve taking care of pets 1 year ago! Friends and family relied on me to boarding, walk and feed their pets. I’m very friendly and lovely with the animals I work part time so I’ll have time to play with your pups! I’m available to boarding any day but more weekdays after 2pm ! I live in apartments but we have a big fanced yard outside where they can play ! My apartment is very big I have space to have your pets comfortable
“Josh was great and my dog loved him (70 lb Pit Mix)! Great communication, on-time, and very attentive to the notes provided. Josh provided detailed feedback on the walks. Will definitely use Josh again and would recommend him to everyone.”
“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”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oak Park on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,895 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oak Park. 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 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oak Park.

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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
