About: I've had dogs since I was 8 until I moved out and went to college. When I moved back home my family had 2 dogs until I moved out again. This time I got a cat as I was living in an apartment. After I met my husband another cat was adopted. That led to 3, then 4. Once there were 6 but now it's down to 4. Chloe & Charlie are Aunt & Nephew and Cosmo & CJ are brothers. I've also had gerbils, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I work full time but have my evenings available after 4:30. My weekends are fairly good to for taking care of your furkids. I will work with you on caring for your precious animals. At this time I do not bring other animals into my home. But at your home, I will play, feed and pick up after. For doggos I will walk them and feed as needed.

We first got her and her front leg was broken and we healed her back to health. She was fully adopted 8 years ago and she couldn't be the most sweetest dog ever!!!! We are glad to have her energy in the house!!!! In November of 2016 we were blessed with winning a PUPPY!!! We now have our newest addition to the family Presley Rose ( pure breed Black lab ) pup. she is our calm old lady young pup. She is a great addition since Ed has grown up with Lab's his entire life.

“I am very happy with Guadalupe’s care of my pup. Communication: great; following special instructions: excellent; general care and love of my pup: fantastic. She was also available for a last minus request (due to failed planning on my part), which was a big deal for me. This was my second booking with Guadalupe, and I will likely book again. Thanks Guadalupe!”

About: I am a dog lover, I’ve had many pets throughout my life. I had a dog named Bella for 12 years so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I’ve also had other family members ask me to watch their dogs. I potty trained her and thought her tricks and I can do the same for your dog. I love dogs and I will make sure your dog is well fed, walked and given enough affection while you are away. The neighborhood I live in has great places for walks and dog parks as well. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs in the future have a great day.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Gages Lake is $30 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $49 per walk. On Rover, 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 5,088 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gages 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 Gages 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 , 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 Gages 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gages Lake. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
