“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!!!!”
“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!!!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Ella helped take care of my anxious Australian shepherd while we were away for the weekend. When she came for a meet and greet,y dog warmed up to her almost immediately! She was incredibly reliable, arriving on time to each walk and took such good care of our pup while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and would book her again :)”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken car of both dogs and cats since I was young and work well with animals. I have flexible hours and will reliably be available! I feed my cat and maintain and clean his water bowl, fill and scoop his litter, and I take him to regular vet check ups. I follow the instructions given to me taking care to follow the feeding water and medicine schedule of my client, while showing the animals love.
About: Experience in Dogs (pit lab mix 9 years) Hamsters care ( 5+ years) Fresh water fish care, primarily Goldfish/Koi (7+ years) Ask me any questions you have! I am a student and I work part time. It gives me time in the afternoon to look over your pups! Weekends are more flexible. I have experience with dogs that pull and escape from their leashes.

“Melianna was great! During our first meeting with her and our pups. They seemed to warm up and got along right away! She sent us updates and reached out if she had any questions. Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Teju did a great job with Luna, who instantly liked her. Teju was kind, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna in her care and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Alex provided our dog Sammie an afternoon walk today. Alex was very patient with Sammie, who was acting anxious (which is her temperament) and eventually got her to warm up to him and get in a good walk. Alex was kind enough to stay later than scheduled given Sammie’s initial hesitation at walking with someone new.”
“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!”
“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!!”

“Destiny is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super responsive and is great walking Biscuit. I was really nervous to use a dog walker for Biscuit for the first time, it was like the first time leaving your newborn with a babysitter. Never should have worried. Destiny took great care of Biscuit, and when I got home, I scheduled the next walk for Biscuit.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oakton on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,726 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.
