“Emma was an absolute pleasure to work with and saved the day for us. Our dog loves her and it is very comforting to know we have someone trustworthy who can take him for a walk in a pinch. Great dog walker and very nice to deal with.”
“We hired Josh for some dog walking. He was very good at calming down our high energy dogs to put leashes on, arrived on time, and gave full 30 minute walks. He also followed some strict rules about our gate unfailingly.”
“We love, Leigh!!! my girls love her so much she treats them like they’re her own, with so much love and happiness! Very communicative and always shows up”
“Chloe is very communicative and I am so glad she is careful of my dog's health and comfort, especially on extra hot days. My dog Marty liked her instantly and I am so glad to have found her to give him his midday walkabouts!”
“Jaymes has been great with my high-energy German Shepherd puppy! He goes the extra mile to reinforce the training we've been working on and make sure she's safe and happy. He clearly has a good amount of experience with dogs and is well-versed in the basic principles of dog behavior. Highly recommend!”
“Vicki was great!! She meet Rose the night before her walk. Rose is shy (she’s a rescue) but Vicki was very welcoming, confident, and experienced with rescues. I am very happy with how Rose’s first walk using Rover went! Definitely recommend.”
About: I grew up with various animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, parrots, rabbits, chickens, and hamsters. From a young age, I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals. As an adult, I’ve also fostered multiple times through MAS and the Humane Society, typically momma cats with kittens and bottle baby kittens. I’m currently a high school teacher with two dogs and two cats of my own. Animals are a huge part of my life, and I’m happy to spend time with yours & make sure they’re thriving while you’re away! I am a high school teacher, so I tend to work M-F 8-3:30. I am available for morning feedings/walks, as well as whatever is needed after 3:30. I am entirely free on the weekends. For summer bookings, my availability is wide open as I am on summer break. While I’m not able to host pets in my own home, I am available to care for them in yours. I am able to follow whatever needs your pets have in your home.
About: I have been around dogs all my life. All of the dogs and cats that my family and I had/have were found as strays and made part of the family. I would always help my parents take care of my neighbor’s dogs when they are away on vacation. This past fall, I dog sat and dog walked for a family before, during, and after they went on a cruise. I am good with young and old dogs, all sizes!! I grew up loving animals and have been fortunate enough to have cared for many different animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, guinea pig, squirrels, and a few birds. In the fall of 2025, I fostered a bunny for 2 weeks and took it to adoption events. If I have the funds, I would have definitely kept it. 😂 I currently have 2 green anoles that I care for and love. I have the summer completely open. Classes start up late August, so all dates up until then are open until booked. Once college classes start up again, my schedule will mostly stay the same, open. During the semester, I will have a tutoring job, but it shouldn’t have any effect on scheduling or anything like that. If there is a conflict, tutoring sessions can be moved. I always meet clients before I start any service to make sure that I am compatible with the cat or dog. After that, I make sure to follow what the client needs and wants for their pets. I give lots of attention when I’m not at work and make sure that they get all that they need.
About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m known in my community for taking care of friends’ pets when they’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.
About: I have owned pets since i was 6. I have owned dogs, birds, cats, fishes, spiders and more!! I am pretty active and can keep up with a dogs fast paced life. I am also chill more those more laid back puppies. I love having the company of a fury (and not so fury) friend around as much as they enjoy ours. I have experienced with alot if breeds of dogs and would love to expand my knowledge with more breeds. When sitting and walking dogs i focus all my attention on the task at hand making sure the dog gets everything he or she may need and all the attention ut can possible want. Dogs have been apart of my life for years and i just want to continue to give dogs a positive and fun filled life. I work overnights during the week and I'm free most weekends. I do moat dog walkings during the day and the time is not a problem on the weekends. I currently do not accept dog boarding requests but i do drop ins, house sitting, and dog walking. I usually follow all instructions given to make sure the dogs environment is as safe as possible.
“Jenny has been an excellent dog walker for us! She’s professional, flexible with scheduling, and communicative. 100% recommend and will be using her services for boarding in the future! She shows my baby lot of love and attention too!”
About: I provide dedicated, inclusive care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and life stages. With proficiency in administering both oral and injectable medications, I am uniquely equipped to care for senior dogs and those with specific medical requirements. Whether it’s the high energy of a puppy or the gentle pace of a senior, I offer reliable, compassionate attention tailored to your dog's individual needs. As a dedicated educator, I bring a high level of organization, patience, and reliability to my pet care services. I am currently offering full-time summer availability with maximum schedule flexibility to accommodate your needs. During the academic year, I maintain a consistent schedule and am available for late afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I offer a "home-away-from-home" experience where your dog is treated like family. My household includes two resident cats, making this a perfect environment for cat-friendly dogs. I prioritize frequent outdoor time, with potty breaks every 3–4 hours and daily walks tailored to your dog's energy level. Your pet will have full access to comfortable furniture and will receive plenty of one-on-one affection. For those allowed a special treat, local "pup cup" outings are a favorite summer tradition! I am committed to making sure your dog’s stay is active, safe, and filled with companionship

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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
