Dog Walking Oakdale

About: I have taken care of animals for many years, and love spending time with them! I recognize that every pet has their own personality, needs, and schedules, and I am comfortable meeting them where they’re at. Whether that’s lots of playtime and long walks or more subtle play time and a quieter environment, I don't mind adapting! I would be more than happy to take them to the dog park, on walks, or play at home, and I will dedicate my time to making them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I am currently home full time and am available for drop-ins or house check-ins as needed! I am also pretty flexible and am happy to work with your scheduling needs. I base my care on you and your pet’s usual routine including schedules, preferred walk spots, etc. I like to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible by not disrupting what is familiar to them.

About: I know exactly how it feels to try and find the right sitter for your pet. When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, routines, quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable. I also know that not every dog wants to immediately make friends, and I’m comfortable giving nervous pups the time and space they need to feel safe. Otherwise, be prepared for your pup to be spoiled! We have a fenced-in backyard for sniffs, play and ball time, and plenty of potty breaks. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy building pet care into my daily routine through walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal feeding and potty schedules. Please note my boyfriend also works from home. Your pet will have someone around most of the time besides the occasional errand or outing. Please let me know what daily life is like for your pet in your home and I will try to match that as closely as possible to ensure they are safe and happy. I have a crate, toys, and enrichment. We currently have no other pets.

“Alana is not only an amazing dog walker (my dog is obsessed with her!). But she’s also an amazing human. I often foster dogs, and many of them can be very nervous and require specific instructions or often times, just have to figure it out as we go. But Alana is always willing to help out and test and learn on what works and what doesn’t for our fosters. She follows instructions well and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure our fosters feel comfortable with her. It can be often chaotic with a new foster and a new routine, but she handles it with calmness and grace and I wouldn’t be able to foster dogs if it wasn’t for her! Thank you Alana for your help not only with my own dog, but helping the community as well by taking care of my foster dogs!!!”

“I highly recommend Josh as a dog walker on Rover! He did an amazing job with my dog Stormii. Josh was incredibly attentive and caring towards Stormii, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and attention. What really stood out was his excellent communication skills Josh always kept me updated with detailed reports and photos after each walk, which gave me peace of mind knowing Stormii was in good hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog walker, Josh is definitely the one to choose!”

About: Over the years, I have helped family and neighbors take care of their dogs and cats. My experience includes both overnight stays and daily drop-ins. I have experience with cats, small dogs (ex. Chihuahua), and large dogs (ex. Labrador and Golden Retriever) of varying ages and activity levels. I am currently working part-time remote, so I have very open availability. It will be easy for me to accommodate pet sitting requests into my schedule, even with limited notice. I will not care for clients’ pets within my personal home. In clients’ homes, I will prioritize the safety of the pets and follow instructions/guidelines shared with me by the client.

“Great with communication and caring”

About: I'm an animal lover, who understands the difficulty of finding time for our fur babies. I've had experience with animals within my own household and babysitting children a well. I'm a recent college graduate, looking for work while i study for my medical exam. I'm available during the weekdays and I'm able to commit more time into this opportunity. As a dedicated pet care professional, I treat every pet like they're my own, providing them with the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I also prioritize safety and comfort during each walk, keeping an eye on the weather, leash safety, and your dog's well-being. I’ll provide updates and even photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Whether you need a daily walk or just occasional help, I tailor my services to fit both your schedule and your dog's needs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a dog owner myself and volunteer weekly at the shelter. I’ve gained hands-on experience with animals of different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and making sure animals feel safe and cared for. As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pet like family. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, I’m used to making time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving my dog plenty of attention. I also volunteer at an animal shelter so I have hands-on experience with animals. Caring for my dog and other peoples animals fits into my lifestyle and is something I look forward to everyday. I focus on making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cares for while their owner is away. I follow instructions closely. For dog walks, I make sure each pet gets the exercise and attention they need while keeping them safe and supervised throughout the walk. During drop-in visits, I provide potty breaks, playtime, food and water, and plenty of love! I’ll also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and cared for.

“Laura is amazing! She started walking our dog during the peak of summer, through the heat and all the crazy afternoon storms. Our dog absolutely refuses to go outside when it’s raining, but Laura was incredibly patient with her and so flexible with us as we figured things out. After a few attempts and adjusting the timing of the walks, they found a great routine. Our dog is always so excited to see Laura, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the care, patience, and reliability she brings, and for making sure our pup gets the exercise she needs. We couldn’t recommend Laura more highly!”

About: Ive been around and caring for dogs ever since I can remember. For the last 4 years I've been working with dogs professionally at daycares and have became very knowledgeable about all things dog! I'm excited to hangout with some more sweet faces :) My work schedule shifts either start or end at 1pm, therefore i have all morning or all afternoon to walk and hangout with even more dogs ! Safety of the animals comes first for me. I'm very familiar with all types of harnesses and walking gear! Also crates and any medication that is needed!

“Brooke was so considerate to accept my last minute request and also to take care of my pup with much love and care. She also turned on the tv to play bluey for him while leaving him back at the home. She gave him treat after his walk. He was very careful with him and communicated exceptionally all along. She clicks so many pictures to send me as well. I would trust my dog with her anytime.”

“Excellent dog walker! Easy to work with, great communication, and great with my dog!”

“Amanda was amazing! She was the first dog walker I ever booked on Rover, and she completely exceeded my expectations. She was so sweet and patient with my dog, Charlie, and even stayed with him for five minutes after the walk just to make sure he felt safe and comfortable before being left alone. It really meant a lot to me. I could tell she genuinely cared, and Charlie absolutely loved her. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and attentive!”

About: What sets me apart is that I am not just a sitter, I am a dog mom myself. I currently have a puppy at home, so I am actively learning, training, and supporting a dog through every new stage. I understand potty training, crate routines, teething, leash work, socialization, and managing all the big feelings that come with growing up. I have patience, structure, and a calm presence that helps pups feel secure. I also live with and care for an adult dog, so I know how to support more mature pups as well. Adult dogs often have different needs than puppies, whether that is mental enrichment, slow paced walks, or just steady company. I adjust my care based on age, personality, and comfort levels so every dog feels understood and respected. Because I work with my own dogs daily, I understand how much consistency, routine, and love matter. I take time to learn what your dog enjoys, what comforts them, and what keeps them happy and relaxed. My goal is always to treat your fur baby the same way I treat mine. Whether your dog is young and curious or grown and wise, I am prepared to meet them where they are and provide care that makes them feel safe, stimulated, and loved. Pet care fits into my routine naturally because I already care for my own dogs every day. Feeding, walks, training time, and enrichment are part of my regular schedule, so adding another pup into that flow feels easy and intentional. I am a law student in my final year, which means my schedule is much more flexible now. I am usually available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I have even more availability on weekends for longer walks, park trips, or extra attention. Since I already build pet care into my daily routine, it is simple for me to adjust to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs structured activity or a calm companion to relax with, I can create the routine that keeps them comfortable and cared for. When I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my first priority is comfort, safety, and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. Every dog is different, so I take time to learn their schedule, feeding habits, potty timing, sleep preferences, and energy levels. If your dog is used to morning walks, enrichment time, or cuddles before bed, I keep that rhythm the same so they feel secure. In my home, dogs get walks in the morning and evening, plenty of play and sniff time throughout the day, and a cozy space to relax when they want downtime. I keep water fresh, rotate toys for enrichment, and provide a calm environment that feels like a second home. I supervise closely, especially during introductions and transitions, and I give dogs the space they need to settle in and feel comfortable. If I am in your home, I follow your rules fully. I respect boundaries, furniture rules, crate expectations, feeding instructions, and any training you are currently working on. I clean up after pets, monitor behavior, and make sure your home is treated with care. I send updates, pictures, and check-ins regularly so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is always the same. I treat your pet the way I treat mine, with attention, patience, love, and routine. Whether you prefer in-home care or care in your home, your dog will be safe, understood, and well loved.

“We needed a walker really last minute and Jamal totally came through. Evie had a good potty break and got to stretch her legs. Thanks so much Jamal!”

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING** Thank you for considering me to care for your fur babies! 🐾 My goal is to provide the same love, attention, safety, and care I would want for my own pets. **BOOKING PROCESS** 1. I’ll review your request to make sure the dates and times work. 2. We’ll schedule a brief Zoom call to discuss your pets and care needs. 3. If we’re a good fit, I’ll come meet you and your pets in person and go over their routine, feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, potty breaks, and anything else I need to know. **WHICH SERVICE SHOULD YOU BOOK?** 🏠 **OVERNIGHT HOUSE SITTING** Best for vacations or trips where you need someone to stay overnight and maintain your pets’ normal routine. During the day, I may leave for other Rover drop in visits, the gym, errands, etc., but your pets will never be left alone for more than 2–3 hours at a time. 🐾 **DROP-IN VISITS** Best for pets who need care for a few hours or during the day but do **not** need an overnight stay. This includes feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, playtime, or companionship. Multiple consecutive hours are considered a drop-in service and are $15/hour. Please do not book House Sitting if you actually need several hours of continuous daytime care without an overnight stay. Thank you for understanding! 💕 **ABOUT ME ❤️** I absolutely love animals! All four of my pets (three dogs and one cat) are rescues. I’ve also volunteered for several years at Pet Orphans in Van Nuys, where I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other animals. I work 100% remotely, which allows me to provide frequent daytime care, walks, playtime, feeding, and medication. This is especially helpful for pets who experience separation anxiety. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I provide regular communication, photos and videos, follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and pets, and always look for ways to go above and beyond. 🐾❤️ Take a look at my reviews to see what other pet parents have to say! Working 100% from home allows me to care for all animals around the clock. I am flexible to caring for pets with particular schedules, rules and needs. When I care for pets in your home, I care for them as if they were my own. I follow medicine, food, potty break and sleeping schedules. I really appreciate it when Pet parents print out schedules that I can follow 😉

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a child and have fostered and cared for several dogs to find them furever homes. I am currently owned by 3 cats. I have a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I love both dogs and cats and look forward to meeting your furbabies and caring for them. I am punctual and trustworthy, and I will take extra precautions to ensure your pet stays in whatever area/space they are supposed to be in.
