“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!”
“Today was our first time meeting Seth - very nice guy and super well versed in animal care and bigger dogs like my boy, Ghost. Knew exactly how to handle Ghost’s excitement and occasional stubbornness. Informative and willing to work with my schedule and even help out with training!! Can’t wait for Ghost to have a new best friend while I’m busy at work (:”
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.
“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!!!”
“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.”
“We had a fantastic first experience with Jessica. She was available last minute, which was a lifesaver! She quickly built a rapport with our dogs, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. Jessica was patient, friendly, and clearly loves animals. If we need a dog walker in the future, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

I am happy to provide anything your pet may need in your home! I don’t offer boarding in my own home at this time, but may in the future.
“Timothy (Matt) has been so great with our dog Nala. He always arrives on time and gets her energy out with a long walk around our neighborhood. Will continue booking with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone!”
“I appreciate how Teju keeps me updated on each walk, but what’s most impressive is how excited my dog is to see her each day. Her love and care for my dog really shines through and it makes a big difference.”
“Katherine is a professional and diligent house/pet sitter. She is always very caring towards our 2 dogs. 10 out of 10 would totally use again, and very highly recommend her for pet care needs.”

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.

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.
