“Amber is great with my malinois Hendrix! She always leaves good notes on how he did on his walks and sends photos so I get to see my sweet boy while I’m at work! She has great communication and has been very flexible with me.”
“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
About: **PET SITTING UPDATE - My husband will start traveling for work sometime this fall. His company has not given him travel dates yet. This will affect my ability to pet sit as I will need to be home when he is gone. Currently, I am only able to accept sitting requests within 1-2 weeks. If this doesn't work for your current situation, please reach out in the future for your fur baby needs.** I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process - I have also foster failed once. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. This is my full-time job so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! I will meet with you and your pet ahead of time to learn about your pet and what they need from me when I visit with them.

About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.

“Megan is very much a pet lover. Growing up, we have always had pets she has taken great care of. She currently takes care of her own dog and 3 cats, one of which she rescued from the street outside of her work. Megan worked to gain his trust, worked with a local humane society to capture and get him checked out by a Vet then adopted him. He is now thriving under her loving care.”

Carol J.
“Carol J. has been a dog walker for my sweet dog, Sullivan, since I got him four years ago! Carol has a key to my home, comes in three to five times a week at noon, gets Sullivan leashed up and takes him out for a walk. Rain, shine, snow, hot or cold, Carol ALWAYS shows up, loves my dog like he's her own and takes great care of him. I try not to be jealous, but I swear my Sullivan loves Carol as much as he loves me :) She always leaves a note before she goes home, with a short recap of their walking adventures. When you meet Carol, you will realize almost immediately that she is a true animal lover. She treats cats and dogs like they are her family. She has integrity and there is no one else I would want in my home, taking care of Sullivan, than Carol J. Give her a call...you'll be so glad you did!!”

Oakwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla was very kind helping us with last minute care for our senior rescue. She made time to come over the day before to meet us and our pup, as well as learn his routine and the care he needed while we were away. I knew my dog would be in good hands with Kayla. She is very friendly and detail-oriented.
Alex is one of a kind! Her communication is amazing, clear, and very friendly. She was/os very knowledgeable with my large German Shepherd reactive dog, and she was amazing with him and me. You have to have a lot of faith to trust somebody with your fur baby and I will use her again, refer her to everyone I know!

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.
Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Oakwood.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
