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.
“Megan is an amazing dog walker for my dog Bowie! She is easy to get in touch with and has been super flexible with scheduling. I know Bowie looks forward to his weekly afternoon walks!!”
“Bristol, is an incredible dog walker. She constantly kept me updated on how the walks went with the notes and pics. She went above and beyond with her commitment to walking my dog. Walking her in snow, and extreme cold and windy conditions. She made leaving my pets for a week 1000% less stressful knowing they were in kind and good hands. I would 1 million percent book with her again for future trips. Thank you Bristol!!!”
“Alexander has done a stellar job with Ajax. Ajax is easily intimidated by men but Alexander has slowly but surely worked his way into Ajax’s heart. He was patient and made small progress with every visit until Ajax let him pet him, then leash him, and now walk him. Definitely someone who understands dog behavior and doesn’t rush to do his job.”
“Amanda is wonderful! She took such good care of my little Holly ☺️ She arrived on time and was super communicative and sent lots of pictures! I’ll definitely book with Amanda again!”
“Sonia is so patient and loving with our anxious pup! She went out of her way to make our dog Jane feel more comfortable with her during her first walk, and has since become a safe person in Jane’s eyes! Sonia is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond. We are very grateful!”
“Seth is absolutely fantastic! He met our dog prior to visiting and made sure they had a good introduction. Then when it was time for his walk he came right on time, took him for a nice long walk, and put him back in his crate leaving him with a pupcicle so he could settle back in on his own. We will definitely use Seth again for walking Lincoln!”
“Morgan was so great with Brownie! She was very attentive in the instructions and details I provided for the walk, and also sent cute photos! I would love to have her walk Brownie again.”
About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have plenty of time to look after pets this summer. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.
“Mel was so great with Jack! It’s so clear that she loves dogs and they love her too. She’s now my go to for all the dog walking and care needs I need help with. Can’t recommend enough”
“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 has been great to work with and we use her services every week. I love that she provides a detailed report card and photos for each walk. She's very responsive and wonderful with my dog!”
“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’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. It started with my first beagle, Zeus, and sparked an innate love for dogs. I am a reliable working professional who wants to help you with your pet sitting needs. I work from home and am able to commit to midday walks 12-1pm or evening walks during the week. On the weekends, my schedule is a little more up in the air. I am empathetic, energetic, and love caring for animals. Whether your pet is older and needs medicine to be given, or perhaps young and requires activity - you can count on me.
About: I have trained many dogs including the two I have now, a border collie and a mutt, who are currently on vacation. I’ve taken care of many neighbors and family friends’ dogs of all ages as well, walking, feeding, and playing with them! I currently am not working as I am moving to Australia in October, so I am free almost any day and anytime to care for your dog! I have a dog-friendly home with a crate, fenced-in back yard, and toys and treats galore located in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood
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.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love all animals. I’m taking a professional break and would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently taking a professional break from my career and will be available for walks and visits most weekdays when I’m not traveling or taking care of my own dog. I have a fenced in backyard where my own 80-lb doodle loves to play. I have one indoor cat who roams our home freely. I can welcome dogs into our home for daycare who are comfortable with a playmate.

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.
