“I had never used a dog walking service before, but I was in a jam and needed help fast. Holly, Josh, and Grace came through and got me scheduled right away! My dog can be a handful with his crazy zoomies, but they handled him like pros. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands, getting the exercise and attention he needs while I’m at work. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and care—I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’m available for pet sitting throughout the school year and am happy to help with whatever you need! I can do drop-in visits, stay at your home overnight, or care for your pet at my home depending on what works best for you. I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals. If your pet does well with other animals, they’re more than welcome to stay with us! If you’d rather keep them comfortable in their own home, I’m also happy to come to you. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 I am open during the summer for whatever is needed! I can come to your house once, twice or how many times you need me. I can stay overnights. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs and two cats. If you prefer to have your animal here we are more than welcoming to have your pet in our home. If you are more comfortable with me coming to your house I’d be happy to do that aswell!

About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals especially dogs and cats! I have 2 dogs (mini dachshund and german shepherd) and a cat, so I’m used to taking care of diverse pets. I’m comfortable with taking care of feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and making the pets feel comfortable while you are gone. I’ve been trusted watching family, friends and neighbors pets for years now! I’m a very patient, responsible owner and I love spending time with animals! I am currently in school 3 days a week in the mornings so I will have plenty of time to watch your pets! I’m at home most of the time. I am available on weekends fully, weekdays I am open after 12pm! (Mondays after 3 because of long classes) Making pets feel comfortable and safe if the most important thing to me! At home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, food, and clean water. I love cuddling and playing with them. I take my pups on walks and ensure they’re safe. I’m able to follow your pets daily routine as close as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks and anything else you need. I’m also here to help keep your space tidy! But most important, I am here to give all the love and attention your pet needs.

About: I have grown up with a zoo of animals around me, my entire life. I am neither a "cat person" or a "dog person", I simply love all animals (except for spiders, that's where I have to draw the line). Currently, my pets include two cats and three dogs- black lab/Pitbull (7y/o), German shorthair pointer (5y/o), and a German shepherd (1y/o). In the past, I have also cared for our previous pets such as, 3 cows, 2 riding horses, 5 dogs at once in the same house, as well as birds. There is not a person in the world that can make you happier than a pet can, free therapy! I am an outdoor freak, so I love going on nature walks and would love to have a four-legged friend to join me for morning/afternoon walks! I also do weddings, if you would love to have your fur babies there for your big day! I work from home, so I can make my own schedule! Working remotely, allows me to work from wherever to whenever! So traveling will be so easy! Tons of toys & treats! Tons of outdoor time! Plenty of snuggles! Healthy meals, for happy pets. I treat pets like kids, adjusting to all their needs!

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks. I have also cared for friends/families pets when in need. I love all animals and enjoy making them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’m currently a full-time nursing student and have a summer nurse internship working 12 hour shifts, but I have multiple days off throughout the week that allow me to spend quality time caring for pets. My schedule varies, so I keep my availability updated. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and dependable care! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. In your home, I will provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well!

About: As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I had my own two little furbabies (Lincoln and Jackson) for 12 and a half years until they went over the rainbow bridge in 2024. My little guys were a shorkie and a schnoodle so have experience with smaller breeds. They also had ailments so am experienced in administering pill medication (no injections). Looking forward to meeting your furbaby! I have a very flexible schedule during the weekdays and am available most weekends. I'm not available to have furry friends at my home but would be happy to stay with them in their favorite environment. PLEASE NOTE: I am able to house sit at your house full time but the price per night may increase if additional time and/or walks are requested during the day. Please reach out to discuss. I will take your dog(s) on walks, play fetch, snuggle or any other activities your pupper may need! I love giving our furry friends plenty of attention! 🐾

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work in office Mondays, Wednesdays and some Fridays which is about an hour commute. I am usually gone from 7:30-5 ish, so dogs who can be alone for that long work out well. I work fully from home Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can let them out whenever on those days. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

About: I have been surrounded by dogs almost my entire life. I love the unconditional love they give. I enjoy spending time outside but also can relax inside. Whatever suits your dog best. I’ve dealt with crazy hyper dogs (like my own) and also the dogs that rather relax alone. Each holds a special place in my heart. I work full time currently 9 hour days Monday-Thursday and a 4 hours day Friday mornings! If your dogs are comfortable being home longer during the day I am more than happy to hangout in the evenings! Fridays midday-Sunday evenings is when I am most available to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I love to be outside so keeping an eye on any dog while letting them outside will not be an issue. I can leash them if preferred. The dog will be in the comfort on their own house!!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Big Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Big Lake on Rover is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Big Lake. 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 Big Lake. 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 Big Lake 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 Big Lake. On Rover:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
