We hesitated writing a review because, honestly, we’re selfish and don’t want his popularity to skyrocket, making it harder to book him! But he truly deserves it more than anyone on Rover. He’s amazing! Quick to respond, always on time, no matter the weather—whether it’s raining or ridiculously hot. We trust him 100%. He even has the code to our front door, comes in, gets the dogs, makes them happy, and brings them back exhausted (which is no easy feat with our two energetic GSPs). So, long story short—book him! You won’t regret it.

Peyton has been great with my dog who struggles with aggressive greetings towards people and other dogs. She is very responsive, understands dog behavior, and is always on time. I’m relieved to have someone I can rely on for when I need to travel.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My heart is always happy with pets, I enjoy to play with them, feed, bath, walk or just snuggle together. I work in my home office, so I’m able to take care of the pets in my house every day and night in a week. I have a couple doggy parks nearby so I can take pets every day to park. Also I like to walk around lakes and natural trails so will have a lots of fun together.

About: Hi there! I'm Lyndsay! I am a 28, and am very understanding of what a dog needs, and will always keep their emotions, safety and energy level all into focus for them to have the best time possible that is beneficial to them! I am known to aimlessly walk around the streets of nyc, letting the city call towards different spots it wants me to see, a perfect quality for walking lovely dogs! I have three family dogs, one older American Eskimo, and two Border Collies under the age of two, meaning I am still pretty equip and up to date with handling puppies. My baby sister turns 12 in May and is a type 1 diabetic! Through this experience, I want to help find her the perfect diabetic dog to aid in her growth! I used to have a senior dog who passed away from cancer (bless his soul) but in his final stages, we crafted such a lovely last year of his life through love, support and comfort. This meant, taking medications, being fragile and cautious, but above all, find the love in his heart. I can't wait to meet, play and love your furry friends :) I have a very relaxed schedule, so I am easily accommodating and eager to help out! This is a full time job for me, as I have had over 193 clients over the past 6 years! I have a fenced yard and 3 other dogs inside of my own family home! If they want friendship, we can have playtime. If not, I can crate my own if needed for the safety of everyone involved!

I want to thank Bethany and Nathan for being so awesome! They have cared for my baby Angel several times now. They are very reliable and responsive. I have been accomadated for last minute sittings. I am a nurse and sometimes get called into work a 12 hour shift at the last minute. I call Bethany and she sits for Angel with no problem. I feel very comfortable leaving Angel with Bethany, I don't have to worry about her. I can focus on what I'm doing with no fears about Angel. If you are a pet parent you know how important it is to find someone knowledgeable and reliable to care for your pet who is like your child. You can feel safe and secure that Bethany and Nathan will treat your pet just like their own. Just to wrap up I want to say that from the first time Angel meet Bethany and Nathan she took to them like she has never done before. I was amazed and knew then I had found the right person's to sit for Angel whom I love very much.

About: Animals have been a joyful part of my life for over 30 years. I’ve cared for many kinds of pets, but most importantly dogs and cats. Over the years I’ve also pet sat for friends and family, volunteered with animal rescues, and worked for a local veterinarian for a couple of years which I loved! I truly believe animals give us unconditional love, and caring for them brings me great happiness. I am dependable, trustworthy, and prompt, and I will take great pride in caring for your pets with the same attention, patience, and kindness that I give my own. When you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, loved, and treated like family. Pet care, for me, is part of my daily life at home! I will look forward to taking care of your fur family members with great care when you’re away. I currently have two awesome dogs named Rue and Liz and 1 turtle named Pearl. Animals are a part of who I am! I care for my pets as if they were my children. My dogs are inside most of the time with plenty of backyard fun including, playing fetch, frisbee, bath time, which they love, and walks around the neighborhood. My cat Spencer passed away at 21yrs old recently; he was the heart of our fur family and he knew it! Towards his later days he required daily medication and with extra love and care he spent his final days peacefully at home. He was dearly loved and yours will be also. You can trust that when I’m at your home your feline or pup will be cared for as if they were my own!

About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and animal lover my entire life, caring for both dogs and cats from childhood through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for multiple pets, including those adopted, rescued, or entrusted to me by others. At one point, I lovingly managed a household of five pets, ensuring each received attentive, compassionate care. My experience also includes caring for a beloved dog left to me by a close friend, honoring his wish that I provide a safe and loving home. Today, I continue that same level of care by helping my son and his wife with their dogs whenever they travel—my “granddogs,” who I adore. With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and genuine affection when it comes to pet care. I am now excited to extend that care to others in my community, offering reliable, attentive support for pet owners who need assistance while traveling or during busy workdays. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your pets—they will be treated like family. I'm currently retired I retired from the federal government working for the NOAA Hurricane Hunters after 33 years of service. I've been enjoying travel and visiting with family and friends and when I'm home I thought I could do some things that I enjoy and help other people that may need or want to travel or just need help with their fur babies 🐕🐾🐈‍⬛️🐈 I currently do this for my son and his wife when they want to travel the world or have business trips with my granddogs 👑🐾😆🐕 For clients that need assistance with pet sitting, I usually love to have an outline of what you prefer so that I can honor the type care that you also provide your pets. I follow an outline when I care for my family's pets when they travel and they provide the list of the vitamins or any quarks or anything that I need to know a timeline and I just try to honor whoever needs care by how they would like the care handled while they are away. The main thing is that I don't want anybody to worry when I'm caring for their pets. You should be able to travel and handle business trips or vacations without worrying if you're not able to take your pet with you that they're safe and well cared for. I also like to make notes daily,if I'm giving vitamins or supplements or anything occurs I want to share. I like to keep track of it and leave that sheet for you when you return.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my home. With years of hands on experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work from home, which means I can give your dog the attention, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or 24-hour boarding. Your dog will be treated with the same love and care I give to my own always safe, always loved, and never alone. I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t recall a time I didn’t have a dog by my side. I currently work from home, which means I’m able to give your pet the love, attention, and companionship they deserve whether it’s for a walk, a visit, or 24/7 care while boarding. I live in the peaceful Walden Lake area with access to several beautiful walking trails perfect for getting fresh air and exercise. I also have one dog of my own, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix who is my absolute baby. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give him because they deserve nothing less. I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone and can get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, giving your dog safe and easy access to potty breaks, fresh air, and playtime as often as they need. Plus, I live in the beautiful Walden Lake area with access to scenic walking trails for daily adventures. Whether it’s for a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, your dog will be in a home full of care, comfort, and companionship just like they deserve.

Rosemary has been an incredibly dependable and caring dog walker for my senior dog, Lola. She shows up on time, communicates clearly, and handles Lola’s aging needs with such patience and compassion. Her gentle bedside manner gives me real peace of mind, knowing Lola is in thoughtful and capable hands. I’m truly grateful for the care she provides and highly recommend her to anyone with an older or special-needs pup.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over five years now. My family and friends rely on me when they go out of town or call me when they need advice on how to care for their pets :) I work fives days a week Monday-Friday 5a-1:30p and I’m off on the weekends so that leaves plenty of time to spend relaxing around the house or running around the yard or whatever else they may fancy I live in a large house with a huge fenced in yard that all the doggies love! So there’s plenty of space for the furry friends to frolic and just be happy and play

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Joshua took amazing care of our four dogs and our fish over 10 drop-in visits across five days, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection during every visit. We really appreciated the consistent communication, updates, videos, and photos, which made it easy to relax knowing everyone was doing great. Even our fish were well looked after! It's not easy finding someone you can trust with multiple pets, but he exceeded every expectation. He was reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Willow Oak

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Willow Oak on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of August 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 4,194 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Willow 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 Willow 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 Willow 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 walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Willow Oak. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
