About: I've been taking care of all breeds and sizes of dogs for the past 4 years, I've even fostered pitbulls, akita, and a great dane I have mostly open availability, any day and time your pet needs I'll be there. I want to make working with animals my only job :) I live in a large apartment but have plenty of fenced in community space to walk and play with dogs, there's also a few dog parks near me too. I make sure when sitting in a client's home that I don't disturb the space and that the pet is comfortable with my presence.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that i actually love the whole job not only the cute parts. Im patient when it comes to puppies who are still learning and are very playful, gentle with older dogs who need a slower pace, and calm when pets are anxious and shy. Im great at following the routine like giving pets meds and sensing when something is “off”. Basically I treat every pet like theyre my own with lots of love and care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very open, which allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship as needed I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At my home, I have a friendly cat and a fenced yard where pets can run around and play safely with supervision. I stick to their normal feeding and potty schedules, give them plenty of playtime and attention, and make sure they’re always comfortable. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so pets feel relaxed and at home. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and basic care as instructed.
“Haby was simply incredible! She was quick to respond and really jumped in to walk my anxious pup, Luna last minute. My mom was sick and couldn’t walk her and Luna is a very special case. Haby did so great with her and was so patient. She didn’t push Luna to like her and gave her the space she needed to win her over. I recommend Haby for any pet who is special needs, shy, anxious, and all of the above. She was great and am grateful to have met her. Thank you for all you did for Luna, Haby!”

“Valerie was amazing! She did a great job of walking our two senior dogs while my family and I went on vacation. She was always in constant contact and let us know if there was anything going on with our boys. I would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been watching all sorts of pets ever since I can remember. My family and I have always been the go-to for friends and family needing a pet sitter. We used to take care of pets on Rover for 3 years and made friends with many clients and their pets. This time I’m doing it on my own. I have two dogs and one cat at home who all love each other. I currently have a part-time job, and I go to Orlando every so often, so if I’m not available I am probably in Orlando! However, if my calendar says I’m unavailable, I still encourage you to send me a message and I might be able to watch your pups/cat anyway! I have a lot of experience in getting along with dogs and can do many things to check up on them such as refilling their food and water bowls, cleaning up any accidents or messes, playing with or walking them so they are tired out for the day, as well as any special instructions/needs your dog has. ‼️Also, My boyfriend usually joins me in taking care of pets, so please let me know beforehand if you’re not comfortable with that so I’m aware.‼️
About: 🐶Before booking, please READ this:🐶 "I do not accept aggressive or jealous dogs." My policy is to maintain the most pleasant and responsible environment possible. I work with a lot of love and responsibility ❤️ Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved animals and have always had dogs and other pets in my life. I have many years of experience working as a dog sitter, and I always treat each dog as part of my own family 💛 I have: • A large, clean space with an escape-proof yard • Dogs always supervised 24/7 + cameras • Games, fun, and treats (if parents allow) • Daily reports to owners with photos/videos. *Please take this into account: 1. I love dogs to play and have fun, but just like children, they can sometimes get rough and get minor scratches or bumps. If you'd prefer your dog not to have contact with others, just let me know, and I'll keep him separate for his safety and comfort. 2. I am not responsible for any illness or incidents with external allergies. Unfortunately, dogs can get sick and no one is to blame., *you can check the Rover guarantee published on their website* 3. Please keep your dog treated for fleas and ticks. 🟡 Dogs over 40 lbs: +$10” and over 60 lbs +$20” I hope you feel comfortable with me for your beloved furry pal’s stay.🐾🙌🤗 I have a big, fully fenced yard with plenty of toys where your dog can run, play, and have fun safely. Your dog will always be close to me and my family, receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I also have two very sweet daughters, ages 11 and 7, who adore dogs just as much as I do. They’ll be delighted to play with and give lots of cuddles to your furry pal. 🐾 I work from home, so I’m available all day to care for your pup. I also have security cameras to keep an eye on them when I step out of the room for a moment, and I have my own car in case of any emergency. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
“Tetiana was amazing and my pup seemed very happy and pleased. She was very communicative and thorogh with my pups needs. Definitely recommend for other fur babies and will be booking again.”
“Audrey was super accommodating for my late notice booking and she was very patient/ communicative with my anxious girl. My building staff saw my dog around with Audrey, and they told me she looked so happy and comfortable 🙂”
About: Growing up in a farm I have been around all kinds of animals including horses, chickens, goats, guinea pigs, birds and of course cats and dogs and I wouldnt change it for the world. I will love and care for your pet as much as I do for mine. I have a full time job from home so I have a flexible schedule. Off on the weekends 🙌. Times can always be adjusted if needed. I am comfortable providing medication to your baby if needed. Does your dog requires more attention as he needs to get their energy out? No worries that is my specialty.
About: Hi, I’m Bianca! I grew up in a family of animal lovers and have cared for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and lizards.

Welcome to Bianca’s Doggie Daycare, where your pup always comes first! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am an early riser who enjoys staying active and maintaining a structured schedule.

I make it a priority to ensure every animal receives proper nutrition, plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and believe they thrive when they receive consistent care, love, and companionship.

Because I have a structured and active lifestyle, I am able to give pets consistent care and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities to help them feel comfortable and secure. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and a calm environment where they can feel happy and at home while their owners Are away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
I’ve had a great experience with Deena as my dog walker and would highly recommend her services. She is reliable, punctual, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dog warmed up to her immediately, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Deena provides regular updates, including photos and notes about each walk, which I really appreciate. It’s clear she pays attention to details like my dog’s energy level, behavior, and routine. I’ve also noticed a positive difference in my dog’s mood and overall well-being since we started working with her.
My experience was extremely positive. I’ve definitely found someone I can trust, and I’m very satisfied. She is the perfect sitter for my pet.🤝😁😊 When my plans suddenly changed, she really helped me out she was flexible, accommodating, and handled everything perfectly. Her professionalism is obvious from the start: she asks the right questions, pays close attention to details, and truly cares about the pet. It even feels like she goes above and beyond what’s expected. She is very careful, knows exactly how to build the right connection with an animal, and it’s clear that this is not just a job for her, but a genuine love for what she does.😁
Valerie is the best! My puppy loved her. She’s very experienced, caring and responsible. Lucy is training to be a therapy dog and Valerie did an excellent job using the specific commands Lucy is being taught. Also, Lucy is a challenge at five months and 50 pounds. Valerie had no problem, controlling her in a loving way.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Forest on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,520 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Forest. 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 Forest. 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 Lake Forest.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Forest. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
