“Abigail is the person you want to take care of your pets: she is reliable, patient and communicative. She took care of my sick dog amazingly and I always feel comfortable leaving my pets with her. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Alex has been absolutely great with my pup! She’s a bit slow to warm up but he was very patient and listened to her cues! Having him walk her during the day is a huge help! I will definitely continue to work Alex.”
About: Local student taking a gap semester. Always took care of family and friends' dogs for days or weeks. I would listen to their owners specific instructions for things their dog needs and I would follow them. As a kid I volunteered often at a cat shelter, where I would work in a room with dozens of cats, making sure all are fed and cared for. Available weekdays before 6pm. Busy from 8 to 11:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I can do early mornings too. I am also available weekends I can walk dogs of all kind for short or longer walks if needed. I am also available for check-ins for cats and dogs, and will follow special requests.
About: I've loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for our family dog for over 15 years, from playful puppy years through his senior days. I'm hands-on and energetic — happy to run, wrestle, and get down and dirty when a dog wants to play hard, but just as ready to offer calm cuddles and gentle care when that's what they need. Your dog will get attentive, affectionate attention and a sitter who genuinely treats them like family. My wife and I both telework full time from home, which means someone is almost always around, so we're able to consistently keep a close eye on your dog throughout the entire day without ever leaving them alone for long stretches. In my home, pets have a comfortable, low-stress environment to settle into. I live in an end-unit townhouse with a private backyard, so they have a quiet, distraction-free space to lounge in the sun, sniff around, and relax. I love spending time with the pets in my care — whether that's joining them outside, playing, or a bit of gentle wrestling and roughhousing for the ones who enjoy it. I'm an active person, so daily exercise is never an issue. If your pet has a lot of energy to burn, I'm happy to take them on long walks or even a run to keep them happy and tired out. I'm also a big believer in routine. I like to keep my own day structured, which makes it easy for me to fold your pet's feeding, walk, potty, and rest schedule right into mine so they feel secure and their normal rhythm stays intact. Above all, I want every pet to feel safe, engaged, and at home while they're with me.
“Melianna is absolutely wonderful. She is kind, thoughtful, punctual, and goes above and beyond. Some days my fur baby just doesn’t want to walk, so she found other activities to get her to exercise like playing fetch. She is patient even when my girl doesn’t want to cooperate. 💕”
“Forest was super patient with our dog, Carmela, who tends to be nervous around new people. They were super communicative with me and made sure Carm had everything she needed. Thanks again!!”
About: I’m a dog owner myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’ve cared for my own dog for over five years and have also helped care for dogs belonging to friends and family. I’m patient, attentive, affectionate, and happy to handle walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and lots of cuddles. I’ll treat your pup with the same love and care I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pup and give them lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special routines. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pup is doing.
“Sonia reply quick to a last minute booking, she was very kind, made great comments of my dog and even brought my groceries that I have bough in. I will definitely contact her again, great experience”
About: I've been a dog lover and owner my entire life. Over the years, I've cared for a Golden Retriever, Dalmatian, Chocolate Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, and Goldendoodle, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've also been the trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for many years. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll follow your routines and instructions so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat all pets like they were my own. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Because I have plenty of availability, your pet will receive the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide reliable, consistent care you can count on. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, and I'll always do my best to work with your schedule whenever possible. Many dogs are happiest in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. That's why I'm happy to provide attentive, reliable care in your home while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. While you're away, I'll keep things clean and tidy, provide regular photo and message updates, and make sure you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.
“Had a great experience with Seth walking our dog for a few days in a row. Great communication, and our dog clearly loved him. Will definitely hire again when we need a good walker.”
“Fatima has been walking my 13-year old lab mix, Kona, weekdays for a month. She’s wonderful at keeping me up-to-date about my precious old lady with pictures and messages every day. I work 30 minutes from home so I’m thankful Fatima comes over to check in on Kona and take her for a walk every day.”
“Brianne is the best! She was so patient with our reactive dog and knew just what to do to make him feel safe. He doesn't like to eat alone so she hung out with him while he finished his food. Above and beyond. 5+ stars!!!!”
About: As someone who has grown up with dogs since the age of 3, I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by the love and energy of pets. Caring for them has always been second nature to me, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Every dog has its own personality and needs, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention they’d get from you. ❤️ I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible and can easily adjust to your schedule needs, whether it’s extra walks, playtime, or just making sure your pet is comfortable and happy. I’m here to give them all the love they deserve while you’re away. I will focus on keeping things as normal and comfortable as possible when caring for your pets. I will ensure to stick to their routine whether it’s meals, walks, or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I want your pet to feel happy and safe while you’re away, and I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I am extremely experienced in caring for puppies and cats of all ages. My husband and I share two beautiful adult cats and our 5 yr old Schnauzer-Collie mix dog. I have learned so much with our pets and also as an animal rescue volunteer (and occasional foster) of 4 years. I am a total animal lover and treat all pets as if they were my own. I'm currently working full-time in office and am available to do drop in visits in the mornings and evenings only. I am also available to house sit, as long as your pets are comfortable being alone during the work day. I am extremely reliable, punctual, and communicative. I have experienced having sitters watch my fur babies so I truly understand the trust and responsibility of caring for someone else's pets. Both my cats are on specific diets and one took medications for a while so I am also well versed in detailed care.
“Kelly helped me when I was in a last minute bind and needed a dog walker. In addition, the front door was not working properly to ope, so we had to text back and forth about that. Kelly took it all in stride and responded very kindly and helpfully, which helped me feel not at all stressed anymore. I will be looking for her the next time I need a dog walker”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Natasha is the best!! She agreed to take on a weeks worth of dog walking on short notice, and even showed up the day before it was supposed to start (on a Sunday) to meet my dog to ensure their time together would go well. Her communication and positive interactions were simply the best!! Recommend Natasha to anyone!!!!
Our experience with Sarina has been fantastic. She is reliable, punctual, and clearly love animals. Our dog gets excited every time she arrives and we always receive updates and photos after each walk, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker and sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oakton on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,540 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oakton. 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 Oakton. 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 Oakton.

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 Oakton. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
