About: Hello! I'm excited to meet all kinds of dogs, of all shapes and sizes, big or small. I've worked with calm dogs, anxious dogs, aggressive, and highly energetic dogs on walks in the past--my own pup being a playful golden doodle. - I've worked with puppies on walks and training with my own - walks with large, small, and medium dogs - walks with highly energetic dogs (even ones that tug/pull) - walks with dogs that may react aggressively to other dogs As for the walks themselves, I am able to: - go long or short distances, depending on your own preferences - walk on both rough or smooth terrain - carry fresh water and water bowl - carry dog baggies and responsibly clean up after your pup's business I understand each dog is different in their needs and temperments and I'm willing to work with any requirements you have. Knowing what your pup needs and giving them the most enjoyable experience in the time we have together is my goal, and I'm more than happy to work with you to ensure that happens. During walks it will just be your pup and I, while I may have a dog of my own, I don't intend to let him join so that I can be focused on your dogs first. Currently, I am a student also working to babysit my younger siblings. So most of my free time resides in the afternoons. Availability times include: Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays 12 pm - 4 pm Tuesdays 1 pm - 4 pm Weekends 10 am - 4 pm Thursdays I most likely will not have time to schedule any walks, though I'm open to discussion about it. As the season shifts to winter, times may change to be earlier as to avoid walking after dark, though that doesn't apply yet. I am able to fulfil all of these services, feel free to message with any questions or requests for anything specific your doggo may neeed. -walking and light training with puppies - training with commands like "leave it" as well as walking side by side - walks with large, small, and medium dogs - walks with highly energetic dogs (even ones that tug/pull) - walks with dogs that may react aggressively to other dogs - go long or short distances, depending on your own preferences - walk on both rough or smooth terrain - carry fresh water and water bowl - carry dog baggies and responsibly clean up after your pup's business
About: I have pet sitting experience with multiple species including big and small dogs, cats, rabbits and snakes. I love animals and always endeavor to give them the best possible care. I have also worked with reactive dogs that need special care and medication. I am currently working shifts at 6-1 or 1-7. I should have plenty of time to spend with your pet and give them attention and love. I am very respectful and careful of other people’s spaces. I enjoy spending most of my time with animals while doing quiet activities such as reading or drawing
“My dogs actually lose their minds with excitement when Michael arrives to walk them. The high pitch cries of anticipation, when they see his car pull up, is so sweet and heart warming. They really love him. And we are grateful that he takes such great care of our pups’ thank you Michael !”


“Rani is a sweet gal with a willing spirit. She was patient with my dog and successful with the walk (my dog was putting her head down and not wanting to go forward) It was the perfect midday break. Sweet Pea got a walk, human company and potty relief. I’m so glad we found Rani to help. I recommend her wholeheartedly”


“Jay is terrific!! I have a new, large, crazy 1 year old Mastiff mix that is a huge handful and Jay has done wonderful with him. He is so thorough and sent me lots of pictures and details about the walk. His attention to detail was so comforting. I forgot to put a baby gate up to keep the dogs and cats separate, and he noticed and put it up before chaos ensued. ☺️ Highly recommend him for great care of your pets.”
About: I’ve been living to love dogs since I was 10 when my family got our first rescue mix from the humane society. I’ve volunteered at the humane society and have worked in pet stores for many years now, and one of my goals is to foster higher-need canines once I’m financially able to. If I had all the money in the world I would open an affordable boarding hotel for dogs where there would be personalized care for all kinds of dogs, especially seniors & those with medical needs. Theo, my 5yr old pit bull rescue is my entire world & I have high expectations for when I leave him in the care of others -I only let my brother watch him. I want other dog parents to have that same peace of mind when they leave their babies at home too. I would be absolutely honored to give your dog the attention and love they deserve till you come home! I am currently self-employed/work part time and am the master of my own schedule. Which means I can truly set aside the time your pet’s needs. I have years of experience with a reactive pit bull and have a strong understanding of dog emotions & needs in both public environments and the comfort of their homes. As for kitties, I’ve nannied a babydoll and a Maine coon for about 8 years now and am comfortable with all cats.
About: Dogs have always been an essential part of my life, and I'm lucky to have two sidekicks of my own - a senior dog and a tripod. They've taught me a lot about being patient, paying attention to what each dog needs, and making sure they are comfortable and cared for. I'm also confident giving medications and caring for senior dogs who need a little extra attention. My dogs are definitely my adventure buddies! We regularly run, hike, travel, and backpack together, so I'm happy to keep up with an active pup (including runs!) or spend a quiet afternoon hanging out and giving a lot of snuggles. I'm also a teacher with 20 years of experience, so I'm responsible, patient, organized, and very used to caring for other people's most important things. I am First Aid and CPR certified (for both humans and pups). I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I'll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away! I'm currently working remotely, so I will have plenty of time to care for all your pup's needs! I'm used to building my days around walks and feedings. I'm also active and spend a lot of time walking and running, so I enjoy keeping up with active pets, as well as those who prefer a slower pace. I'm happy to work a pet's normal routine into my day, whether that means a morning walk, midday potty break, medication, or simply cuddles and company. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I treat them like my own! I'm careful about doors, gates, and other safety concerns. I follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and exercise schedules, and give plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I will also keep you updated with lots of photos so that you can relax and know that your fur babies are in good hands!
“My dog (and I!) LOVES Maura! She takes great care of him on their walks, is super communicative, and is always very responsible and punctual. I’m so glad we found her! She’ll be our go-to sitter!”

About: My most relevant experience is working at a dog day care and boarding hotel for 2 years as a pet care lead. During that job, I led and taught pet care assistants to carry out the daily routine of the dogs in our care. This includes giving medicine, feeding, watering, playing, supervising play groups, first aid, bathing, communicating with parents and maintaining standards of care. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with a pair of boxer lab sisters who I cared for as well. Recently, my wife and I have had Guinea pigs and a gecko as well as a 4 YO Chiweenie named Cotton we rescued. I get a lot of fulfillment out of building trust with animals and making them as comfortable and happy as possible. I look forward to bonding with your furry, scaly, etc… family member as well! At the moment I am looking for new work so I am filling the time in with Rover. My schedule is very open so I will take as many requests as I can get! I communicate with you and visit to get oriented with your pet before I start. During the visit, I ask questions about your pet to understand their individual needs and start to get them familiar with me. Once I am oriented, I'll follow your instructions and communicate with you if I am unsure about anything or something concerning comes up. Also, I am more than willing to do messier tasks like cleaning poop or bathing, as long as supplies are given. I believe strongly in respecting animal’s boundaries and proving to them that I am a reliable and unthreatening friend!
About: I have grown up with different dogs my whole life. I am the go-to house and dog sitter for my friends and family, known for being reliable, attentive and treating every home and pet like my own. My schedule is extremely flexible right now so I am able to take on a variety of requests to make sure your pets are well cared for! I am a morning person who will be able to make sure pets can stick to their routines and care for them as needed. I am available for morning, evening, and overnight care. Please reach out I’m here to help! I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I can stick to their normal routines for feeding, walks, and playtime so that they can feel comfortable while you're away. When staying in my clients home, I am extremely respectful of their space. I am a very clean and organized person who knows how to pick up after themselves. I'm also open to sending cute pics of your furry friends so you can have piece of mind.
About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Wednesday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.
About: Hi! I’m TJ (they/he) Since joining Rover in 2022, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, multi-pet households, and even a bearded dragon. I also have two cats of my own and regularly care for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week, so pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. Through my experience, I’ve developed a thoughtful and adaptable approach to caring for pets with different personalities, comfort levels, and energy levels. Whether that means keeping up with feeding routines, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, treats, or helping a pet settle down and feel comfortable, I always try to adjust my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience with overnight stays and caring for both dogs and cats in the same home. I pay close attention to behavior and routine, keep the environment clean and low-stress, and communicate with owners if anything comes up so I can care for their pets the way they prefer. I do work late nights most of the week, but I strive to keep my schedule as flexible as possible :) I approach every booking with the same care and dedication I’d want for my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Please note that while my legal name appears on my profile, I prefer to go by TJ. I’m excited to meet your pets and provide them with personalized, dependable care! I always make sure to spend as much time with my pets as possible and take care of their needs to let them know they are loved:) I have two cats of my own, so I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their environment. Caring for them is part of my everyday routine, from feeding and fresh water to litter box care, attention, and making sure they feel at ease in their space. I’ve also been regularly caring for 3 dogs and 4 cats during the week since July 2025, so I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine carefully and providing dependable, attentive care while their owners are away.
About: What sets me apart is how much genuine love and care I have for animals. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job—I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m very attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule that changes from week to week. This gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, love, cuddles, and companionship they deserve. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure your pets are cared for properly and treated with kindness. I am gentle, patient, and comfortable around all types of animals. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority, and I would never intentionally put an animal in harm’s way

About: Dog lover & owner that’s been caring for the pets of my friends and neighbors for years! It all started growing up on 90 acres of farmland. I’ve had the opportunity/experience to work with dozens of different animals. Happy to accommodate puppies, kittens, seniors, and those with health & wellness needs. I am currently self employed as a shipt shopper and am able to schedule my shipt orders around my pet sitting schedule. My pet sitting schedule takes precedence over Shipt. Each pet has individual needs and will be cared for based on those needs. However, most pets tend to be happiest is their own home environments. Having you leave is already stressful enough for them, so let’s not add to that! I am happy to come to you and be with them where they’re the happiest and most comfortable - whether that require overnight stays, or several check-ins for breakfast & dinner, potty & play breaks, etc. Willing and able to accommodate puppies & kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs!

About: I’ve been caring for and pet sitting dogs since I was 20, with experience caring for a variety of breeds, including Great Pyrenees, Australian Shepherds, and Brittanys/Pit mixes. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs I have a busy work schedule, but I’m great at planning ahead and making time for the pets I care for. I build pet care into my daily routine so they get the attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles they need. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible when it comes to sticking to your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in home, providing a secure space for pets to enjoy some fresh air and playtime. My home is also equipped with an alarm system and security cameras, adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,303 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oakville. 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 Oakville. 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 Oakville 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 Oakville. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
