About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my entire life. I grew up with them, and that love has only grown stronger into adulthood. I’m happy to open my heart and home to care for your pets in a safe, loving environment filled with cuddles, attention, and personalized care. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, genders, and special needs. As a work-from-home professional, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship, so you can feel confident knowing your pet will always be in good company and well cared for. I’m flexible and happy to adjust based on your needs or preferences. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and plenty of flexibility. Hablo Espanol! My yard is fully fenced and reinforced with concrete walls, and I have two very friendly dogs. I’m happy to crate your dog or let them free roam—whatever makes you most comfortable.

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

About: Grown up with multiple dogs in my family. From Shih tzus to Shepards. From feeding to walking to bathing. I have experience with cats as well. Your four legged friend will feel at home with me. :) I work Monday through Friday 2-6pm. Outside of work I’m a very active person and love spending time with my dog. Caring for pets is like a second nature for me as I’ve had them all my life. I have a large fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. I am very loving with animals and love to snuggle up with them and just hang out and talk to them just to make sure they know they’re cared for.

About: Since age 12, pet sitting has given me experience with different animal personalities, feeding, walking, playtime, from family or friends ownership and bringing me joy. Available Monday to Friday, morning to 3 pm if you need more time and please text me only. I can't wait to meet your pups. I have a small fenced yard and a service dog. Otis (my dog) will love to have a company to play with. I will make sure they will feel safe and comfort.

About: Former vet tech here with three dogs of my own. I have aquired plenty of experience with all animals. I work with my husband as a team to ensure we provide the utmost best service possible for your fur baby. We’re home all the time, pets are never un attended. I do keep pets seperated until I am 10000% sure they get along well. We allow them access to our couches (incase your doggo is a couch potatoe). I keep the ac running low all day so its also nice and refreshing. My backyard is fenced off, no chance of escaping. They have free roam of the back yard when taken out to do their business always 100% supervised. When its sleepy time, those that are used to their humans may sleep with us. We offer crates already here for the smaller guys who prefer their crates. Due to my previous Veterinary experience I am able to care for the special needs pups as well. We offer round the clock care to make sure we provide the utmost care for your pet so that YOU may have peace of mind. Im available 24/7 seven days a week. I let my own dogs out in the back yard to use the potty about five to six times a day. I could do walks too if preferred. I have a fenced yard with a special area just for the doggos I board. My dogs are friendly but I still prefer to keep separated.

About: 🐾 A Lifelong Passion for Animals Animals have always been a huge part of my life. By raising, training, and deeply studying my own pets over the years, I've learned how to read canine body language, understand unique personalities, and tune into what every animal needs to feel safe and happy. 🦉Diverse Hands-On Experience I have personally owned and cared for a wide variety of animals and breeds, ranging from high-energy dogs like Huskies to Chihuahuas and Poodles. Beyond dogs, I have also shared my home with cats and birds, giving me comfortable, hands-on experience managing different temperaments and needs. Specialized Care Tailored 🏩Senior & Nurturing Care: My beloved Poodle was my companion for 19 years, making me especially passionate about and skilled in caring for senior dogs who require extra patience, gentleness, and tailored attention. (Proof that you're never too old to learn- he even mastered a few new tricks at 17 years old!) ❤️‍🩹Special Needs & Medications: I have personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, including managing epilepsy in my Chihuahua. I am fully open and equipped to administer oral medications and handle other special needs. 🥇High-Energy Dogs & Training: I love working with high-energy dogs and utilizing positive reinforcement to teach everything from basic manners to fun tricks. My schedule is flexible and easily tailored to fit your pet's routine. Working from home allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. ¡Puedo comunicarme en español también! To ensure the best care possible, I like to go over a few key details with every pet parent, including your pet's daily routine, favorite activities, and any training commands they know. I also always check for specific safety needs such as leash behavior, escape tendencies, noise phobias, house-training habits, and any medical conditions, allergies, or medications. For home stays and boarding, I coordinate on house rules, off-limits areas, emergency vet contacts, and home security protocols so everything runs smoothly.

About: I’ve grown up around Rottweilers and had a Great Dane/Labrador named Charlie, and I currently have a Yorkie who’s turning 10 this October. I’ve also recently lived with cats, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. Beyond that, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment, so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s engaging playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I adapt to their energy levels and personality to provide the best care possible. I have a flexible schedule so I can coordinate the time that fits best for you. I enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor playtime are always a highlight for me and the pets I care for. In clients’ homes, I respect and maintain pet’s established routine to ensure continuity. I pay close attention to safety, such as securing doors and gates, monitoring during walks, and ensuring the pet’s food and environment meet their unique needs. I also take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing regular updates and staying responsive to their preferences.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 5 years, including pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’ll treat your pup like they’re part of my own family and make sure you feel at ease while they’re with me. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my care. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep a close eye on their behavior, and respect their normal routine and boundaries. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them out for a walk, I’ll treat them with patience, affection, and the same care I’d want for my own pet.

About: I've always had a special love for animals! Throughout high school, I worked at a dog grooming salon, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I've also been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone they trust to care for their pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family member with the same love, patience, and attention you would. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! 🐾💕 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate to caring for your furry family members! Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm happy to work around their routine and individual needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals and enjoy making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, and I'm always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet! 🐾 I've always said that in another life, I would've gone to veterinary school because my love for animals runs so deep! My own dog, Hazel, is truly my baby, and I treat her like family. Our days are filled with playtime, training sessions with treats, outdoor exercise, walks to explore new scents, car rides, cuddles, and even the occasional doggy ice cream date! I also love making little dog-themed crafts and finding creative ways to keep her happy and engaged. I believe every pet deserves that same level of love, patience, and attention. When caring for your furry family member, I'll always prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual routine. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet receives plenty of affection, enrichment, and exercise suited to their needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being cared for like one of my own. 🐾💕

About: I worked for a dog walking and pet sitting company for a little under a year and have experience in handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. I’ve also done very complicated pet sittings that have had birds, dogs, and cats all within one household. I did multiple feedings a day and delivered medication to the dogs. Apart from this I’ve grown up with animals my whole life I’ve had dogs since I can remember. Currently I’m a full time student and have no other commitments so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I’m primarily free Friday through Monday and then after my morning classes in the middle of the week. Boarding: I have a fenced in yard and your pets would be able to roam about the house as they please or they can be crated up to your preference. I also have two small dogs and they’re very friendly. Pet sitting: I’ll follow any feeding/medication instructions you leave for me and I can also do walks. I’ll also try to spend as much time with your pet as I can I tend to be very good with staying in when I’m pet sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Kendale Lakes is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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 5,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kendale Lakes. 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 Kendale Lakes. 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 Kendale Lakes 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 Kendale Lakes. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
