“Our dog fell in love with Carolyn immediately! She has been a tremendous help to us and is a good communicator. I echo other reviewers: we really appreciate her!”
“Robert is awesome and came over to walk my Winston on very short notice. My dog loves him and came back very happy! I highly recommend Robert for his animal expertise and professionalism!”
“Tyler will continue to be my go to dog walker when I need help getting my 2 dogs their daily exercise. My pups are spoiled with daily outings , and dog park trips - we usually average 6-8 miles per day but often hit 10-12 miles once or twice every week…. with Tyler, I have peace of mind and confidence that my dogs will get a walk and the type of exercise they are accustomed to. They always return content , satisfied and most importantly exhausted! Thanks again Tyler!”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for years. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’ve taken care of older pets in addition to giving eye drops and oral medication to cats and dogs. I have a cat at home so I am used to her routine and am easily able to fit your pet into my routine as well! I am willing and available to watch your pets. I do work second shift during the week but very available on the weekends. I have an upstairs and basement with plenty of room for our cat, Raven to run and play. She loves to lay on my yoga mat I have out in the living room. We have her litter box in the basement and plenty of toys for her.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I had 2 dogs growing up so I am used to big energetic dogs as well as small. I have a lot of experience with anxious and high energy dogs and am comfortable and enjoy taking care of them. I moved away from home for college so I miss my dog a lot so I am looking for some new furry friends to play with during the school year! I am a college student so my availability varies daily, I am available most weekdays (time depending) and weekends. I am available for multiple times a day if necessary. I have a dog at home who tends to run away often so I am well trained in keeping doors closed keeping an eye on them etc. I am good at following any specific instructions for any special requests a dog would need.
About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.
“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”
“Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!”
About: Our family had a yellow lab for 15 years and now a golden retriever. We love dogs and enjoy playing outside and taking long walks! We are a homeschooling family and have a lot of flexibility in our days. I love to be outside and walk everyday. I’d happily love to share a walk with your pup! I have a small fenced in section of yard. We live near lots of trails so we take our dog on long walks in nature.

Sierra is great. She always takes care of my doodle. You can rely on her and know your pup is in good hands. I want to thank you for all you've done with Jax so I could work long hours. As you can see, we are moving, and I know Jax will miss his walks with you.
Anna is so patient and kind! She literally goes the extra mile. I have a couple of rescue dogs that are still in the process of learning better leash manners and she’s giving me good, honest reports. She’s also not letting them get away with too many shenanigans! I appreciate her hard work and dedication.
Courtney went above and beyond when taking time to meet my two rescue dogs in advance of walking them. I have one dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers and Courtney was patient and won her over. I feel that my dogs are in good hands with her and will gladly book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Gem Lake on Rover is $22.2 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 5,467 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Gem 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 Gem Lake. 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 Gem Lake.

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 Gem Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
