“Monika did great walking our dog every day for a week while we were on a vacation. We had complete trust that our dog was in good hands. She also went the extra mile by giving our other dog some attention while she was at our house.”
“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”
“Christina has been wonderful with my pups! My dogs are high energy and she does great with them. She always sends me lots of photos and videos throughout the visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter/ walker!”
“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful - treats my dog as if she were her own. My dog loves her daily walk with Carolyn. I especially appreciate how she takes into consideration the age and special needs of my dog. Thank you for everything Carolyn!!!”
About: I’m an extremely compassionate and well informed pet sitter with many years of petsitting experience for friends, family, and neighbors and I’ve owned pets my entire life. I do wildlife rehab for work and care for a variety of pets at home, so I have experience in taking care of most types of pets (birds, reptiles, mammals, etc) and not just dogs and cats. Animal care is my passion and I dedicate my life to it with all my pets at home, my wildlife rehab job, and petsitting. I am loving and empathetic to all living creatures and pets tend to gravitate towards me, so you can relax knowing that your pets are in the best hands I’m currently working part time in the PM, but other than that I don’t have any other obligations. I’m typically gone for 6-8 hours at a time on days I work, so I can stop in throughout the day. On days I’m not working, I can stop in as often as needed and do extended stays. I don’t have a set schedule so I don’t always work the same days, but I tend to have weekends off (and then I always have mornings and midday free as well). Just message me if you have any questions about specific dates, otherwise I have no availability conflicts if your pet is okay 6-8 hours at a time I have experiencing drawing up and administering meds orally and via injection in a professional manner. I can accommodate for any of your pets needs, whether they are elderly, special needs, or have intensive instructions. I love treating them as if they are my own and doing all the silly unnecessary (but also very necessary) fun stuff to spoil them! Anything I can do to make them feel more comfortable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I had 2 dogs growing up so I am used to big energetic dogs as well as small. I have a lot of experience with anxious and high energy dogs and am comfortable and enjoy taking care of them. I moved away from home for college so I miss my dog a lot so I am looking for some new furry friends to play with during the school year! I am a college student so my availability varies daily, I am available most weekdays (time depending) and weekends. I am available for multiple times a day if necessary. I have a dog at home who tends to run away often so I am well trained in keeping doors closed keeping an eye on them etc. I am good at following any specific instructions for any special requests a dog would need.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra attention. I pay close attention to details like feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and behavioral cues so your pet stays on their normal routine. What truly sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and stress-free. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a wide-open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m also able to adapt to each pet’s specific routine—whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or extra time for exercise and play. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible while you’re away. When caring for pets, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible by keeping their routine consistent. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they are happy, relaxed, and getting the exercise and attention they need. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and activity. I make sure pets have regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to rest. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is well cared for while they’re away.
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”
About: Hi! I’m Eden and I am 19 years old. I can’t remember a time where I didn’t have a furry (or non furry) companion with me! I grew up with dogs and pet birds. I have fostered dogs and puppies with a local rescue, The Bond Between (formerly known as SecondHand Hounds) since 2020 and have leash, crate, and potty trained them. I have babysat numerous different dogs and cats during the past four years and would love to care for more and gain more experience! I have even cared for reptiles such as bearded dragons and snakes. I currently have two dogs and a pet gecko! 🩷 I’m currently in my sophomore year of college and trying to save up more money! So I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I have two lovely dogs to help keep your dogs company! I always make sure that I am giving your furry friends my undivided attention.
About: DEDICATED TO YOUR PET ONLY when sitting! I only allow one reservation at a time. I raised a beloved 4 year old dog named Leo and recently lost him to an immune disease. I’m passionate about sharing my love for pets and experiences with others. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, and have a great fenced-in yard for their safety and enjoyment. Let me provide a caring and loving environment for your furry friend. I do not always update my availability, so please reach out if you don’t see a date that works! I work from home Monday & Friday. I’m also around most weekends. I like being active and outdoors. My fenced it yard would be great place for us to play! I no longer have a dog and will only have one dog at a time for sitting. This will allow for safety and prevent issues. My yard is fenced in and my house is clean and safe.
About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I currently work three days per week and have plenty of time to spend with your pups. My spouse, Chad, is usually home when I’m not available - together we can be flexible with pickup & drop off times. I will ensure your fur babies routine is maintained and their needs are fulfilled. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, pups are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment environment for you pups. ♡
About: Hello my name is Chelsea and I love animals. Growing up I lived on a hobby farm with cats, dogs, horses, goats, fish and chickens to now when I have reptiles, two dogs and a cat. My dream job would be to work with animals every day and build a trust between owner and sitter because I know the feeling when you can trust that your animal baby will be cared for to the fullest extent. I have always cared for animals and have been to a few basic animal emergency classes that I learned a lot from such as cpr on cats, dogs and reptiles to learning basic signs of pain or uncomfortably. I can’t wait to meet more animals and am excited to start. I have always had a routine and the pets were just a part of that. If I leave the house the have each other but I’m never gone for more then an couple hours. I care for them as I would my own, they are apart of the family and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If they need water; I would fill the bowl, same with food. If they needed potty break I would take them outside; and if they wanted to cuddle and watch a movie on the couch I would allow it.
About: Ive loved animals since I met my first golden at age 2 and have been obsessed with every kind of furry friend since. Im the parent to an elderly Jack Russell with a super sassy personality and have a special place in my heart for seniors pups and those with unique personalities! As an artist part-time I have a flexible schedule that allows for time to check in and hang with your pups and give them all the attention they deserve! I have some experience with varying dog behaviors and always enter into meetings with safety in mind making sure that i'm doing all I can to to ensure your furry friend feels safe and met where they are at. Im committed to understanding your pets specific needs and what works best for them!
“Lyndsy is great! She took time to come over a few days before we needed her so she and Buxxie could meet. She’s clearly really comfortable with dogs and my pup, who is on the anxious side 🥴, settled in with her very quickly. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Lyndsy!!”
“Kari was great and very professional. Even though my pup was just a little too rambunctious on their walk Kari did the professional thing, and let me know for his safety it wasn’t a great fit, and I very much appreciated her honesty and professionalism! Once I get my pup some extra training we do hope to use Kari in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oakdale on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,410 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oakdale. 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 Oakdale. 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 Oakdale.

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 Oakdale. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
