About: Since a young age I've been caring for animals of all sizes. Whether it was finding a small homeless kitten and nursing it back to health at 7 years old, to starting my own dog walking service at 8, to currently working in an animal hospital caring for patients. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My family has always known this was the field for me and I wouldn't change a thing. Even the most difficult animals deserve love, attention, and comfort. Big or small, I love them all. :) My current schedule varies between hours and days. Feel free with any questions or concerns you may have! Thank you so much for your time! i hope to hear from you shortly! I part time at a dental office, so this gives me more time to spend with your furbabies and sending updates on their staycation at home! Any updates to my schedule and I will immediately notify you. I have a fenced in large yard. My pets are crate trained but also enjoy company of friends! If your pet needs a more socially limited time, I am happy to accommodate that as well.

I’ve been working as a veterinary technician for about 8 years now, mostly in emergency and specialty surgery. I have experience from young puppies and kittens to seniors.

“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”

About: I love taking dogs on hikes, long walks, or to the dog park if the owner prefers, ensuring your pet gets plenty of outdoor time. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that keeps your pet happy and healthy no matter what age. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home parent, available 24/7 to care for your pet. While I’m tending to my little one, I can also provide dedicated attention to your dog or cat, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need each day. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a dedicated and comfortable environment. Your pet will stay in a separate guest house/game room, giving them their own space to relax. They’ll also have access to a giant yard where they can run and play. I tailor my schedule to match your pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the care and attention they’re used to. I check on them hourly to make sure they’re happy and well taken care of. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow a similar approach, adhering to your pet’s schedule and providing regular check-ins to ensure they’re comfortable and content in their familiar surroundings.

Finding someone you trust with your pets can feel stressful, and my goal is to make that process easier by providing safe, reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary technician-level experience and skills. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, giving me years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, following detailed instructions, and maintaining their individual routines while their families are away. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and medical needs—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior, anxious, recovering, and special-needs pets requiring additional attention. My veterinary background and technician-level experience include: • Oral and injectable medication administration • Subcutaneous fluid administration • Diabetic and special-needs care • Senior pet care • Post-surgical and recovery care • Monitoring changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health • Caring for pets with anxiety or specialized routines • Following detailed medical and household care instructions • Fear-free handling techniques and low-stress approaches 🐾 Experienced With Nervous, Senior & Special Needs Pets 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding and respecting that. I especially enjoy working with pets who may need a little extra time, patience, or specialized attention. Whether your pet is shy, nervous, anxious, elderly, recovering, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on building trust, maintaining their normal routine, creating a calm environment, and helping them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 • Regular updates and photos • Careful attention to your instructions and routines • Patient, compassionate, and individualized care • Enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention • Knowledgeable care backed by hands-on veterinary experience • Someone who treats your pets like family 🐾 Additional Services I Offer 🐾 • Nail trims • Baths and basic grooming • Ear cleaning • Litter box care • Medication assistance • Poop scooping • Additional care needs upon request I’m also comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including unique pets, exotics, and large animals. Whether your family includes furry, feathered, scaled, or other special companions, I’m happy to discuss their needs. 🐾 Why Choose Me? 🐾 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate. With my Certified Veterinary Assistant background, technician-level experience, years of pet-sitting experience, and genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide both knowledgeable and loving care. Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love doing. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. I currently provide care in your home because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. Staying home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or have special needs. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully review each booking and care plan to make sure I can safely and appropriately meet their needs. I will always follow your care and safety instructions carefully and will never leave pets unattended outdoors. While caring for your pets, I love keeping them happy and engaged with activities appropriate for their personalities and abilities. This may include neighborhood walks, fetch, favorite toys, enrichment activities, lick mats, puzzle toys, training refreshers, or simply spending quality time together. If I need to step away for errands or other responsibilities, I will make sure your pets’ needs and agreed-upon schedule are taken care of. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant with technician-level experience and a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into allowing someone to care for your animals and enter your home. I treat your home with respect and your pets with patience, compassion, and love. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing they are in knowledgeable and caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

“This was my first time using Rover. I can’t recommend Jessica enough! My situation was a little different; we are visiting family in Marble Falls but my husband and I spent a few days in Austin and needed someone to walk our dog. We didn’t have personal interaction with Jessica but my mother in law did and said she was very polite and professional. So much so they she shared her information with the neighbors. Thank you Jessica.”

About: We are dog-obsessed people, and we will love your pooch like our own! Look at our testimonials. We treat our guests like family! Daily walks, pampering, playtime, medicine administration, and pics and videos are included in our price! We had a yellow labradoodle who was our world. We pampered him and couldn't imagine a day without him, but now he has crossed the rainbow bridge, living to nearly 13. We miss them also, but are hoping to welcome furry friends home. :) I have had the company of a furry friend nearly all my life, and we all absolutely love dogs! We have a puppy now; his name is Bru. We can watch your baby whether you are planning to go out for a day, a week, or more... He/She will have the company of my husband, our kids, and me and will never feel alone!! We love going for walks. Playing fetch or just lazing around in the house! We will flood you with pictures and video updates! If your stay is longer than 14 days, we do offer a lower standard rate. Definitely ask about that. For new boarding requests, we require a meet-and-greet to ensure we are a good fit for your pup. We ask that pups be kid-friendly, as we have 2 kids, and we are particularly concerned about safety. Look forward to hosting your precious one! We ask that your pup is KID friendly as we have 2 kids. We need all guests to be up-to-date on all vaccinations! We are excited to get to know your pup and provide a home-away-from-home experience!

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.

About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Oatmeal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Oatmeal. 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 Oatmeal. 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 Oatmeal 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 Oatmeal. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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.
