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.

About: With over 7 years of experience and a lifelong love of animals, I bring genuine care and connection to every pet I look after. Having had a dog of my own, I understand the trust involved in leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and reactive dogs. I’ve completed dog training with my own puppy and regularly reinforce basic commands during walks to encourage structure and positive behavior. For senior pets, I am comfortable managing dietary needs, mobility limitations, and medication routines, always adapting my care to each dog’s individual needs and energy level. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality to ensure a calm and stress-free experience. I keep pet parents updated with photos and check-ins, so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: reliable, attentive care you can trust every time. Pet care is a consistent part of my weekly routine, and I structure my day to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. Monday – Friday: Morning walks: 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM Midday drop-in visits: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Afternoon walks: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Evenings & Overnight: Overnight pet sitting available for continued care, comfort, and companionship. From pavement temperature checks to carrying emergency supplies, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities—whether on walks or during in-home care. Before each walk, I check weather conditions and pavement temperature to protect your dog’s paws. I also bring fresh water, a portable bowl, an extra leash, and paw-cleaning supplies to keep your pet comfortable throughout the visit. Before care begins, I take time to understand your pet’s dietary needs, treat limits, allergies, and any special instructions. I also collect vet and emergency contact details so I am fully prepared for any situation. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care so your pet feels safe, and you feel completely at ease.

“I was very impressed with McKenzi’s professionalism and ability to handle my rambunctious 8 month puppy. She communicated very well with me and let me know what areas he struggled in but she was very positive. I like that because then I know She knows what she is doing and willing to help him learn while working with him. She is very calm and can gently but assertively command my puppy to where he will listen. I’ve already booked 6 more walks with her- you won’t be disappointed!”

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 🔁 😊.

“Edna takes care of my pup as she would for her own... She walks my dog everyday, on hot days she would take time to rest in the shades, on cooler days she would spend some time playing with my dog on the grass. She is someone who knows that a walk for a dog isn't always about the distance, its about the quality and having fun!”

About: I’m a dog lover since birth! Hi! I’m Angela, your pup deserves an experienced sitter (that’s me), with a safe and fun environment. I limit the number of guests so that I can spend #qualitytime with your dog. I work to quickly bond with dogs in a way that makes their stay pleasant. I’m particularly fond of shy dogs and help them to over come their fears. I’m skilled in potty, leash, recall and leave it training. I match your pup’s activity level so that they can have a vacation too! I enjoy taking dogs hiking and walking, as well as playing ball, stick and frisbee. Weather permitting we walk the river parkway, canyons or nearby parks. I work from home and have a relatively flexible schedule. Because I work from home, your pup will have a quality routine with plenty of potty breaks and play time. This also means staying on schedule with meals, meds and outdoor activities. We take regular walks and “recesses” daily. Evenings are for #brushing and #cuddles. Your pup will always have supervision. I have a small fenced yard with plenty of space to explore. Often they will experience squirrel sightings and birds. If you have read this far, at the bottom of my photo gallery you’ll find retro photos showing my natural abilities with dogs Working at home allows me the flexibility to care for your pet 24 hrs a day. We keep them in a routine that you (and your pet) prefer. As always pets needs come first-even before coffee 😌. Safety is my number one concern! Your pup will be under close supervision while in my care. When we leave the house, we always leash-up and if the door is opened, we take extra precautions prevent escape artists from escaping.

About: I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including larger or misunderstood breeds such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and German Shepherds. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I love being a trusted companion they can feel comfortable and happy around. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I’m also an active person who enjoys taking long walks and spending plenty of time outdoors. As a lacrosse player, I especially enjoy playing fetch and keeping energetic dogs engaged and entertained! I also have a 9-year-old dog who loves making new friends and would be happy to have a companion to play with. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, companionship, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. I’m happy to maintain a structured routine based on your pet’s needs, including regular feeding times, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I will follow each pet’s established daily routine while prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being. I will provide fresh water, clean up after the pets, and monitor and report any changes in appetite, mood, behavior, or bathroom habits. I will also respect your home and keep the space clean and tidy by washing dishes, taking out the trash, and cleaning up after the pets.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since infancy and have taken care of friends/family dogs for years. I travel too much to have one of my own right now but I still want to get all the doggy love from other places. I am currently working from home on a part time basis so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pups during the workweek. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of doggy toys donated from friends dogs laying around. Beyond yard play, I love taking dogs for walks, hikes, or to dog parks. I’m very active outdoors so I’m also happy to take those high energy dogs for a longer hike or trail run!

About: I LOVE dogs and cats (all animals in fact). I worked at the Humane Society of Utah for 8+ years, Nuzzles & Co. for 1 year, and private dog walking for 2+ years. I have worked with thousands of dogs of all sizes in my career.

I have had five dogs and four cats of my own, and countless shelter foster animals, in the past. I currently have no pets in my home. I am currently a homemaker without a full-time job, giving me lots of free time for dog walking, and dog/cat sitting.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oakdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oakdale is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,318 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 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 , 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 Oakdale 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oakdale. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
