About: I have always grown up having pets my entire life and I love taking care of them! I can't imagine life without pets and I haven't gotten a job yet that allows me to have my own furry friend (I have fish), so I take advantage of times with friends who have pets, but I can't wait to be able to have my own furry pet. I have always had a hand in taking care of my pets at home and I would love to help take care of yours! I've taken care of other people's pets when they have been out of town and am able to handle animals with bathroom problems as well and I'm not uncomfortable staying at other people's places. I've had a mixture of mutts and full bred dogs and cats. I currently live with a dog and cat that belong to my roommate, and at home I have a dog (he's in the bunny ears, 11 years old, and is the best ever), and have previously had both male and female cats and dogs, along with a bird, fish, and turtles.

About: I grow up with pets, almost all my life, and I did the same with my kids, have pets since the were young. So now they are grown and gone, so I would like to do something I enjoy. I’m not working at the moment and I would like to work from home and this opportunity it’s just perfect for me being at home and spend time with animals. When I had my last dog, I take her out every hour to make sure she can use the bathroom. I’m moving this month to a house with 2 acres aren’t fence yet, so it’s plenty of space.

About: My pet care experience! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up around a wildlife rehabilitation center, so caring for animals was something I was surrounded by from a young age. Our home was always full of pets! When I reached high school, I joined my school’s agriculture program and FFA (Future Farmers of America). Through FFA, I gained hands-on experience showing and caring for dairy goats, pigs, poultry, and rabbits. These experiences taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when they’re stressed, administer medications, and provide the individual care each animal needs. I’ve also worked at a grooming facility and currently work at a boarding facility, giving me even more experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable administering pills, ointments, cleanings, and other basic pet care as needed. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable! ❤️🐾 About me and my schedule! I’m currently a part-time student in the EMT program at HCC, working toward my goal of becoming a firefighter. —I’m in class Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 12:30 and again from 5:00 to 8:00. I also love my part-time job working with dogs, which has given me great experience in animal care. With my 2 prior commitments in mind, please reach out and specify times. If your pup needs extra attention and cannot be left alone for 4 hours or less please let me know!!! I’m fully committed to adapting to whatever routine makes you and your pup feel most comfortable, safe, and happy.💖 Building trust. 💖 As a pet parent myself, I completely understand any anxieties and worries you may have when you’re away from your pet. My goal is to make sure not only your pet is comfortable and happy but you are anxiety free. When I am dog sitting,walking or house sitting, photos are a must for me. I will send as many as I can. And I will keep you updated throughout the visit! I am willing to become accustomed to whatever is needed to make you comfortable and makes your dog tail wag! I am comfortable with administering some medication’s. At my own home we have a large yard with other animals, so I am also very understanding when it comes to outdoor safety.

About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.

About: Ever since high school, I’ve been caring for pets and dog walking for family, friends, and neighbors. What started out as helping people in my neighborhood turned into something I truly love doing, and have continued all throughout college. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine, and pet sitting helps me do what I love while making some extra income as I transition into my post-grad life. I’m a huge empath and animal lover, so whether your fur baby is high energy and needs a walk to burn off the zoomies or just needs some company and cuddles, I can meet them right where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and well being are always my top priorities. I do my best to stick to your pets routines and am happy to send you plenty of photos and check ins so you have peace of mind while you're away. Send me a message and I’d love to set up a meet and greet! I am currently available full-time for pet sitting and dog walking bookings. My schedule is flexible so feel free to message me for any inquiries! Whether your fur baby wants to play, run around, or cuddle on the couch, I am happy to adjust to their needs. My top priority is always to make your pet feel most comfortable and taken care of!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds! I love animals and have been pet sitting for over ten years and hopefully many more. My vast experience with different species of pets helps me to adapt and problem solve in any situation. I’m happy to communicate with you and help care for your pets! I am a college graduate and I currently have one dog with my family; she is the highlight of our lives! We make sure she is in good health with her diet and veterinary visits. I have cared for many pets for my friends, family and neighbors throughout the years. I love to see animals thriving in their environment and when responsible, help out with that to the best of my abilities. In our home our porch is screened in for our dog to go outside and sunbathe, we take her for walks, and have specific food for her diet!

“When we're out of town for a short weekend, we usually have morning and night coverage for our baby. Wires got crossed and he didn't get the care we're used to. Enter Christine. Her and her husband went above and beyond. They cleaned an accident that happened after our usual walker didn't walk the dog accordingly because of the rain. Our poor boy, who never has house accidents, pooped inside. Again, Christine made sure our house was cleaned and even checked to make sure there were no further accidents. She communicated regularly and just gave us such ease while we were gone for the weekend. I can't say enough good things. We'll be booking with them again.”

About: I've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.

About: I’ve been pet sitting over 40 years. With over 19 years experience in the Vet tech field, I began pet sitting for extra income. From cats, birds, rabbits, turtles and numerous dog breeds. I absolutely love pet sitting, fostering relationships and meeting new pups and ppl. I’m relocating to the area and expanding my pet clientele. I’m on your schedule but more importantly I make your pets schedule the utmost priority. I have two beautiful dogs, one senior and the other quite rambunctious. We enjoy long walks, cuddles, bones and barking. Also sunbathing in our grassy fenced in yard on sunny Florida days.

Soraya was fantastic with Odin today. He’s a blind dog with special needs, and she handled him with patience, confidence, and the right energy from the moment she arrived. She was punctual, attentive, and brought a calm but upbeat demeanor that made a real difference. It’s clear she understands how to care for dogs that require a little extra awareness. Odin was comfortable with her, and that says everything. Would absolutely book again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Fern on Rover is $18 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 7,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Fern. 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 Lake Fern. 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 Fern 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 Fern. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
