About: I have 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and birds. I took a few college courses that were 2 years long to learn about animal care. I also worked at a reptile education center where I took care of the animals and educated people about them. I love animals of all kinds and would love to watch your pet! CURRENTLY NOT TAKING RECURRING/WEEKLY CLIENTS! I have lots of time in the day to watch and play with your pet. I do have a cat at home so I do have to go check on him every 3-4 hours! I will follow your schedule to a T to make sure your pet doesn’t skip out on their daily routine. I have experience taking care of even shy animals so I have lots of patience and am willing to let them take their time to adjust to me. I am ok going on walks in neighborhoods and parks as well as playing with your pet in such areas.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve also bottle-fed a litter of puppies, which required constant attention, patience, and a strong sense of responsibility—something I bring to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or high-energy pets. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I prioritize clear communication and reliability, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make the experience as easy and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I typically provide care throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours (or more frequently if needed and discussed in advance). I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to a specific schedule. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Because I travel locally, I prioritize nearby bookings to ensure I’m always on time and able to give your pet the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and boundaries to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order while you’re away. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings to prevent any escapes or unsafe situations. I also prioritize clear communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Diane had excellent communication throughout the booking and made sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of my pups. My dogs were very well taken care of and I was completely at ease having Diane over their care! Highly recommended and will be booking again when the needs arise! Thank you!!!”
“Carlos is consistent and so kind with our puppy. He communicates with progress and suggestions to make Diesel's walks more engaging and provide learning opportunities. We appreciate Carlos being part of Diesel's crew!”
About: My name’s Chris and I’m a nursing student and animal lover! I’ve had 4 cats over the course of my life with varying medical needs, from prescription diets to daily oral medication. I also love dogs and have spent lots of time around dogs, and I’d love to take care of yours :) I’m currently a student so my schedule is pretty flexible from now until January! My schedule will look different after January, but I should know more as January approaches. I can feed your furry friends, play with them, administer their medications, crate them, take them for walks, comfort them, give them treats, and anything else your friend may need while my services are needed!
“McKenzie has just started walking my dog. She has been great with her. She’s great with Communication, patience, kindness, and going the extra mile. My girl loves her. I can’t recommend McKenzie enough!”
“Elisabeth is awesome! She has taken my dog Graham out for several walks and somehow manages to get him out and about (even though he is a bit lazy). She takes great care to make him feel comfortable and I feel so at ease knowing he is in good hands. Would recommend!”
About: I have taken care of plenty of animals from a very young age. I’ve trained before and enjoyed seeing the progress that comes with. I am great with any age of dog and understand the difference in temperament! I am currently working a job as a barista and am a student at SLCC. My job is fairly flexible and doesn’t demand my full days. I do schooling online so it is easy for me to do homework anywhere. I am happy to take your dog on walks, play with them in the backyard, do trainings etc. Whatever your pet may need! I am familiar with crate training and am comfortable with it. I like to watch dogs in your home, because it gives them a sense of safety and comfort.
About: Sitter on Rover since August of 2022. Star sitter since April of 2024, when star sitters became a thing. Though my true experience lies in caring for friends' and neighbors' pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I've looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, reptiles, and more. I have a special soft spot for senior pets, but l love the energy and joy that puppies and kittens bring too. Every animal I meet is treated like my own - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Rover is my main job, and I plan my other work around it whenever possible, so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure there's plenty of time for walks, play, and companionship. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures or prefers to follow a calm daily routine, I'll adjust to what makes them happiest. I live in a house with a fenced yard, shared with three friendly dogs who enjoy both playtime and relaxing around the house. I'm comfortable administering ear drops, eye drops, and oral medications. I can also carry dogs up to about 90 pounds if needed - perfect for pets who need a little help getting around. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first.
About: I have had pets my entire life, both large and small breeds...dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, lizards, and fish. I offer pet care services in Salt Lake valley and Southern Utah. I can travel for extended stay bookings. MORE About me: I grew up in Utah with a beautiful Irish Setter named Sunny. He was my BFF from childhood to teens. As an adult, I have had many pets! I adored my buddy, Cruzer, the cutest Shih Tzu ever, he was such a good friend for 12 years. I also had the coolest cat, a Maine Coone named Rio, he was with me for 17 years! Everyone loved Rio! 💗After that I adopted an older pug named Lou, and a lost trail kitty named GrizzaBella, short for GrizzaB. RIP. I miss each of them dearly❣️ I recently divorced so now it’s just me and my BFF Nala, Pomchi. She is the most lovable, cuddly pet ever. I have 15+ years professional experience pet sitting, house sitting & housekeeping. I also worked for a B&B for several years and was responsible for managing bookings, cleaning all rooms and pet care for her 3 dogs, multiple birds and Koi pond. I would love to schedule a MEET& GREET so we can see if I am the ‘perfect friend’ to care for your pet while you are away on vacation or business. I can guarantee you peace of mind, as you will know that your furry family member is being loved and and cared for in your absence. I have a very flexible schedule... reach out for more info. I have daytime availability as I am a semi-retired and also a happy homemaker with lots of free time to love and care for your furry friend(s) as well as my own. I have a fenced yard for playing ball ⚽️ with my dog, Nala. She would play fetch all day if she could! After playing it’s treat time, then cuddles, then REPEAT 🔁 😊.
About: Hello! I have cared for both cats and dogs of all ages throughout my life. I worked with a trainer to develop my husky into an offleash dog and happy to share training knowledge with other owners! I’m active and enjoy running so taking the dogs for runs and walks will not be an issue for me. I have my own husky puppy that is great with dogs of all sizes! He knows when to be gentle and when it’s okay to be a little rough. I work completely from home so I’m available 24/7. If I were to leave the house, the dogs would be crated or left out depending on comfortability. I love taking dogs for walks and know how to train them if needed! My husky will tire out any dog, but even he enjoys simple walks!
“Melanie is very professional and great with the dogs. She is also uses dog training tools to help correct some bad habits. She sent cute pics and was informative with her detail of the walks.”
“She is absolutely amazing! Very reliable and is super friendly with my pup. He automatically loved her and waits for her when it’s time for her to come. So happy I found Daynara!”

Rachel is amazing! This was my dog’s first time walking with someone other than myself and my husband. Rachel was very passionate about making sure our little guy was comfortable and safe. The communication was prompt and clear. I was nervous as a new puppy parent. However, once I met Rachel, all of my worries melted away. I can not recommend Rachel enough! I’m looking forward to booking Rachel again in the future. Thank you for everything!

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 .

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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs

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.
