About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets! Mike J.
About: Hi! I’m Shannon, and I’ve always been an animal lover. 🐾 I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including playful puppies, adult pets, and senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to give them the patience, attention, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, medication reminders, extra cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m here to help! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for. ❤️ I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re part of my own family! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently a stay at home mom to two fur babies and soon to be a mom to a sweet boy. My schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate for whatever needs you may have! I have a fenced in yard. Two dogs both well mannered. One is a senior, terrier mix, 13 years of age. The other is two years old and he is a deer head Chihuahua. Both are very friendly. Both are neutered.
About: My experience mainly comes from caring for my own pets and family pets, including providing aftercare for injured pets by giving medications and following their recovery routines. I’m also often the person who can’t resist taking in a stray or two! I genuinely love animals and take their comfort and happiness seriously. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime, evening, overnight, and weekend bookings, and I can accommodate last-minute requests. This flexibility allows me to give each pet the time, patience, and individualized attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I can provide supervised outdoor time, and I’m able to keep pets separated from my dogs if they prefer their own space or need extra comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any safety instructions you provide, and I’ll always prioritize their comfort and wellbeing while they’re in my care. At your home or mine.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was little, mostly cats. Then as I’ve gotten older dogs. I had a chihuahua until he was 15 years old and a cat until 13 when they unfortunately passed from old age/complications. I now have a 4 year old German Shepard and 2 cats. Pets bring me so much joy and are a part of my family like children I am available majority of the time right now, I would be able to make drop ins or stay for a little while to visit and care for your pets. I would take care of pets in the home of the pet owners as I do not have enough space to provide in home. Will be able to make drops in and stay to play.
About: I have worked for a year and a half at a doggie daycare/boarding service as a kennel technician. I owned a dog since I was 7 years old and was responsible for walking, feeding, training, and bathing her. Unfortunately, the dog aforementioned has passed the rainbow bridge as of December 2023. I am now 25 years old. I have also worked for a 24/7 veterinary hospital for 8 months as a veterinary assistant. I know how to properly restrain animals using Fear Free techniques. I can also trim nails and provide bathing. Lastly, I worked at a local dog walking/pet sitting company for about 4 months. I have had experience taking care of dogs and cats throughout my time at this company which serviced all of Monmouth County, New Jersey. I’m looking to go all in on pet care, so I am going to be available 7 days a week. I’m looking forward to scheduling with you! I have a lot of energy, so I would love your pets as my companions on my many daily walks. I currently share a pet-friendly apartment with my fiancé, therefore, I am open to providing all services from boarding to house-sitting for all of your pet-care related needs!
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my childhood and I just love how they are. I have had experiences with many dogs throughout my life. They’re so cute I love them all. I currently don’t have a job right now but I am looking for one. I start my day early so I have free time! I only have one dog now. Her name is Luna, she’s been my baby since she was literally a baby. She knows when to go outside to use the restroom, as well as some tricks I taught her, she also loves when I pet her…sometimes when she wants me too lol, still love her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Charles is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $21 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 November 2026, there are 82 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Charles. 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 Lake Charles. 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 Lake Charles 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 Lake Charles. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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.
