“Abigail is amazing with my dogs. She is patient with both my reactive Terrier who can pull on the leash and my senior frail Chihuahua. She is easy to communicate with and I feel like my pets could’t be in better hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Amanda came through in a pinch and she was great with walking my two big and very rambunctious dogs. She was prompt, friendly, and provided great notes post each walk. I’ll definitely use her again the next time we need someone.”
“Amanda is great, and we would recommend her to anyone seeking pet services without hesitation! She's attentive, patient, and truly cares for our dog. Communication with Amanda is a breeze, and she's an extremely pleasant person. So glad we found her on Rover!”
“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!!”
“Brianne is WONDERFUL! Always punctual and reliable for my two dogs. We’re so grateful to have her take care of our two dogs. Our two dogs are not the easiest and she’s been nothing but patient with them. Thank you Brianne!!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have owned dogs in the past, so I understand the different stages of a dog’s life, from puppyhood to their senior years. I know that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I believe in giving them the patience, attention, and care they deserve. As a cat mom of three, I also have plenty of experience caring for pets with different temperaments and grooming needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, meals, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to provide plenty of attention, check-ins, and companionship for your pets while you’re away. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work with you to find a routine that best fits your pet’s needs. I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and any other specific care they need. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies, so I make sure to follow all care instructions, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!
“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.”
“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.”
“It was terrific having Timothy as Ruby's sitter! She was well cared for, got plenty of walks, and I felt good knowing she was with someone who genuinely cares about dogs and their well-being. It's been a while since I've needed a sitter, so finding someone I could trust meant a lot. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend Timothy to others. I'll definitely be booking him again for future needs!”

I ensure consistency by maintaining your pet's regular schedule and familiar surroundings, offering personalized care that includes walks, feeding, playtime, and any special needs they might have. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and at ease, whether they're in their own home or mine
About: My experience comes from watching my friends’ pets while they travel, as I've been more than happy handling walks, feeding, and giving lots of cuddles. I maintain a very active lifestyle, and a work-from-home schedule that means your pet gets real attention, not a quick drop-in. I’ll send updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing, and doing a meet-and-greet is necessary to make sure we're on the same page. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I'm very active and can easily step away for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m happy to work around your schedule. I will always keep your dogs leashed on walks, follow your feeding and medication routines exactly, and keep your contact info and your vet’s info handy.
About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats throughout my life, from neighbors to strangers I have helped many different people with their animals These days and times that are listed are what’s best for me, but I can definitely be flexible and work something out with you to best fit your schedule. I can adapt to any pets personality so long as I know what its boundaries are. I would like to be informed as thoroughly as possible as to how your pet behaves so I can provide the highest quality care.
About: I’ve been taking care of a variety of animals for many years, and dog walking for close to 10 years. I have experience with every size, breed, and personality of dog and love them all. I’m very active and would love for a companion to join me on my walks! I’m currently in college, so I will have plenty of flexibility around my school schedule to take care of your pets! Currently, I’m on summer break so my schedule is even more flexible. I have lots of experience walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My dog is over 100lbs so I am confident walking larger dogs and my previous dog was leash reactive so I am also experienced with reactivity. I’m a confident dog walker and am confident in my abilities to have a safe, happy, and fun walk for everyone.
“Winnie is wonderful. Our dog Suzi LOVES her and is starting to wait at the door every day in anticipation of her special walk time! My parents and I are relieved to have help during the day and Winnie is so trustworthy and kind.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have also cared for cats, giving me a strong understanding of both canine and feline behavior. I have hands-on experience with senior dog care, including caring for a dog with hip dysplasia who needed extra patience, mobility support, and attention to comfort. I’ve also raised and trained a disabled puppy who was reactive, which taught me how important consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are when working with dogs who need a little extra understanding. Because of my experience with reactive dogs, I’m comfortable recognizing stress signals, respecting boundaries, and creating a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine. I have a flexible schedule and am committed to providing reliable, attentive care for every pet I look after. Whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering basic care, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal schedule and environment to help reduce stress. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions and make sure pets always have access to fresh water and a clean, comfortable space. I pay close attention to pet body language and behavior so I can respond appropriately to their needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel confident that they are receiving attentive, compassionate care while they’re away.

Amanda did a great job taking care of my pup!! I've never left him alone before and Amanda came by multiple times a day, was punctual, gave my dog lots of love, and took him on nice walks. This really helped settle my mind and let me enjoy my time away from home knowing my boy was in good hands. Will definitely re-book with her again!
We absolutely LOVE Hannah! She showed up every single day last week at 1 p.m. and was always right on time. Our puppy absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. She’s such a delight and makes sure he gets plenty of walking, playtime, and love. Her visits are the highlight of his day while we’re working, and knowing he’s happy and in such good hands gives us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond when our puppy got into something and cleaned up the mess for us. That extra care means so much! Hannah is dependable, thoughtful, and just wonderful with our puppy. We’d happily have her care for him any time, day or night, and recommend her to absolutely everyone. Truly 10/10—we’re so grateful she’s our dog walker!
It was terrific having Timothy as Ruby's sitter! She was well cared for, got plenty of walks, and I felt good knowing she was with someone who genuinely cares about dogs and their well-being. It's been a while since I've needed a sitter, so finding someone I could trust meant a lot. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend Timothy to others.

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.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Oakton is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per walk.

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 Oakton. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Oakton 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 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:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
