About: I would say I own 4 dogs but who am I kidding?? We all know we don't "own" any of our furbabies because they own us! 😊 I am a dog and cat groomer by profession and an all around animal lover. I know how important general health as well skin and coat health is and strive to ensure it's maintained. My life revolves around dogs and I believe all animals deserve the best care. I assist alot of people with not only their dogs coat but also with purchasing the right food for their pets and the best harness or training collar. I love my profession and would love to broaden my knowledge and experience on many levels when it comes to dogs in general. I figure helping other pet parents is a great start. I do offer bathing/grooming services as well. Price varies depending on breed/size of dog. Pet care is a daily routine for my pack and I. With 4 of my own, we stay busy and strive to maintain a healthy routine. Any other pets in my care, also get the same loving treatment and routines along with following any routines they are used to. I have a large yard with a privacy fence for the dogs to run and play. My home is also animal safe with large empty areas for play, separate kennel room, and grooming area.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: I am able to pay attention to detail and help identify what an animal tends to need as far as play time, food, sit and petting time. I am able and willing to help an animal navigate their needs and wants because it helps me to give them the care they deserve. I am a college student! I work part time and I have availability throughout the day that allows me to be able to dedicate time to help take care of animals. The biggest concerns for me when it comes to pets is ensuring that there’s consistency and a safe environment to help create a healthy home.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

About: I've been a proud pet parent for over 25 years, and my love for animals goes all the way back to childhood. My fur babies are truly part of the family, and I’d treat yours with just as much love and care! Right now, I share my home with two wonderful companions: Finny Finster, a lively nine-month-old Shepsky pup who's full of personality, and Zahra, a graceful and independent two-year-old long-haired cat. Being deep in the puppy training stage with Finny has given me fresh experience and lots of patience, so I’d be more than happy to help care for your pup, too! I also have a soft spot for senior dogs. My sweet beagle, Jayne, was with me for 14 wonderful years. In her later years, she faced several health challenges, including injuries to both back legs and an eye tumor. I adapted my home to make life easier and more comfortable for her and administered her medications with care and lots of love. Whether your pet is a bouncing puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give them the same warmth, attention, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, allowing for drop-in visits and walks during the day. I am also available on Saturdays and Sundays to provide any services you may need. I’d love to take care of your pets right in your home, where they’re most comfortable. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, I currently I have two dogs, and three cats that I take care of along side my family. I grew up rescuing strays with my grandpa and finding them forever homes I currently work full time in fast food. My hours are randomized from 11am until possibly 2am. I would be able to take care of the pet before my shift would begin, as well as be granted a break to see the pet during the day/night. I treat my pets like family. I personally let my two dogs and my cat sleep with me every night. They eat breakfest, lunch, and dinner with before I get to eat.

About: Hi! I’ve lived in Chatham my whole life, but I’m new to Rover & would love to start taking care of more animals I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I got my first dog in 6th grade (he’s still with me almost 18 years later). I’ve dog sat for both friends and family many times. I’ve walked dogs since I was little too. I’ve got 3 of my own! Plus 3 cats. I’m a huge animal lover and have adopted all of mine from the shelters (except for my 17 year old Maltese). If I had enough money, I’d open an animal shelter of my own. I love to go on long walks and runs and always take my dogs with me. I work full time so nights and weekends are usually my availability right now. I work from home part of the week too so I can be flexible those days! I have a big fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. All of them are friendly but I can crate dogs if necessary.

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: I grew up always having/taking care of dogs. I also pet sit regularly now. I love animals and would love to have this as something to do outside of work! I also have two kitties named Blue and Harley, so have a lot of experience with cheeky cats, too. I currently work from home, so all I need is my hotspot and laptop. I can house sit for you basically for any length of time and any day/time. I have reliable transportation. I try to leave the home as good as or better than I found it. I truly do love caring for animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - White Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 129 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across White Oak. 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 your White Oak. 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 White Oak.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
