“Violet loves Asa! We appreciate how Asa engages Violet, is easy to communicate with, and is punctual and dependable. I no longer worry about needing to leave for business trips, which is such a relief.”
About: I am the daughter of a veterinary technician and have lived with, fed, cuddled, and played with many different cats and dogs that my mom would bring home. Pets of all kinds, have always been a part of my family and I would love to be a part of yours when you need to get away! I work from home so my schedule is flexiblle, accomodating mornings and evenings, which is perfect to tuck your little one in or feed them breakfast. I am available to drop in for walks, feedings, or even just socialization at your descretion. Anytime of day works for me as I can schedule around your needs.
About: No pets over 20 Ibs as my space is not big enough please. I worked with my step mom since 13 with her dog/cat grooming company. Therefore i am very versed with many different types of companions. I have also had many dogs and cats throughout my years. I hope to give any companion the best time. I am a working mom of a 4 year old and 3 year old. They are both very respectful and gentle with pets. We have a five year old cat, but he has lived with both cats and dogs. My cat does get along with both. Since I do work full time, I wont personally be home all the time with the pets. On the plus side though, my husband stays home so there will always be someone here with them! I have a decent sized yard but it is not fenced. I will take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood, and any potty breaks/walks I will be sure they are leashed when outside. As for cats i do have a smart litter box so it stays very sanitized and it tracks potty time to make sure everything is looking good with cats! I have a huge cat tree. I do not have much supply for dogs, but Im willing to get anything to accommodate a dogs needs. Please no pets over 20 Ibs. My space is not big enough for bigger pets.
About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.
“We love Frances she is amazing she's always on time and Buddy can hardly wait until she gets to our house. I had to have shoulder surgery and couldn't walk Buddy so Rover was a perfect option for us. Thank you Frances for making Buddy's day so exciting he's so much more happier because of you.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old. I’ve been taking care of them ever since! I have been watching other dogs since I was a teenager. I’ve pet sat a good variety of dogs, from border collies to labs and teeny little Pomeranian mixes! I have a good deal of availability during the summer, so my schedule is very flexible! I teach private lessons on Monday and Friday afternoons for a couple hours, otherwise my other jobs provide me a good deal of flexibility, so that I can pet set as much as possible! At my home our dogs have an electric fence, and have been properly trained not to cross the invisible line. I have also lived in areas where dogs are fenced in, and even with neither type of fence and just a long chain attached to the ground. Regardless I will take care of your pet regardless of the outdoor situation. I am pretty physically fit, so I can carve out some good time to take them on walks, long or short! I follow your instructions to the T when it comes to specific needs and potty/bed times. I will come to you and do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is happy and safe!
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
About: I have worked with dogs for several years in various settings. I have previous experience working in a veterinarian office, dog day care, dog walking/pet sitting, and have taken care of dogs in advanced training to become service dogs. Animals hold a very special place in my heart and I enjoy working with them and providing companionship and the highest quality of care! I work a non-traditional part-time job with varying hours throughout the week. I can care for your pets before and after my scheduled work times. I will do whatever the client would like rather that is playing with their dog(s) in their yard outside or taking your dog(s) for a walk.
“I normally work from home, but had to travel for almost two weeks recently. My dog is my coworker and I was so worried how she would do all day without me there when my family was at work and school during the day. Thank goodness for Monica! It was so wonderful that she was able to come walk my dog at noon every day while I was away. Monica is so sweet and extremely reliable!!! She sent pictures every day of their adventures on their walks which made me smile when I was able to finally glance at my phone for that day. She also gave our cat lots of snuggles too while she was there! I will definitely reach out to her if I need to go out of town for work again and will highly recommend Monica to anyone who needs help with their pets in the future. Thank you Monica!!!! 🐾🐾🐕🐈⬛🐾🐾”
About: I am a dog mom and also have had chickens,turkeys, a ferret and bunnies. I was a zookeeper for almost 10 years. I recently graduated with my PhD in biology and my focus is on river ecology. I love animals and would love spending time with your fur baby! My schedule is flexible during the summer/currently. I have the ability to fit plenty of walks and play time in with your pet and I look forward to it! Depending on your pups ability I will take them for as long or short of walks as needed. If there are parks nearby I would love to venture to those.
“Tara did a great job walking Maddie in the blistering heat . She accepted the job on the same day as I was sick and unable to leave my apartment. She made sure Maddie didn’t get overheated, but got all her “business” done. I will certainly use her again!”
About: I’ve had pets as long I can remember, and I believe they are valuable members of the family. I love to provide and care for animals and appreciate the companionship and care they can provide in return. I’m currently studying in my senior year for my bachelors degree in Music. I am in school for a couple hours a day, but am open mornings, and afternoons/overnights accommodating my job schedule. I make sure to take security seriously so pets do not take unsupervised trips out! I also make sure to follow their guardians stated rules, and treat them like one of my own until their people return.
About: As my mom is a vet tech and also a dog sitter, I have many years of experience and knowledge on how to care for your dogs in the best way possible. I’m currently not working, so I have very flexible hours. I am in school, however it’s online, so I can do my work at the houses I stay at while continuing to care for the animals. I will make sure your dogs are fed, always have water, taken out regularly, taken on walks, and assure that they are in the best hands possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Oakville on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 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 .

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 Oakville. 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 Oakville.

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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
