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.
About: I have a genuine, deep love for all pets in this world… mine have been the most important part of my life. When my baby kitty Lenny crossed the heavenly rainbow bridge last year, Gideon and Einstein rescued me. My focus is specific and consistent: “What does your best friend need? How can I provide this need to them? Is the environment low stress? Your fur babies are so important to me because I truly understand how important they are to YOU. Having no human children myself, believe me, fur babies are EVERYTHING! I put my absolute best effort into making sure your pet feels safe and experiences the least amount of anxiety as possible. I also assist with Senior day care cleaning, shopping etc. References upon request if needed. I am available to work five days a week and weekends if necessary. I’m grateful to have a flexible schedule; I’ve earned the trust to have access into peoples’ homes to care for their animals. I treat every single animal and pet as if they were my own. I make sure to have every day fulfilled with at least a little bit of furry affection or my day just isn’t the same! I have a pet-friendly, pet-safe, pet-happy home! Making sure all the fur babies in my home have what they need is “what I DO!” My sweet cat Gideon couldn’t get more nurturing! He’s very healthy, independent and gentle with his guests”! My philosophy with my home and my animals is: When in MY care, your baby’s safety, good health, and comfort is guaranteed in the anxiety-free environment I provide. I’m extremely attentive to their individual needs, hands-on, and I work hard at that. Their are no short-cuts, no days off with my animals. I have a closed area to make sure your special DOG 🐶 AND KITTY ARE SAFE AND SECURE.IF YOU REQUEST FOR YOUR BABY TO BE CRATED , ONLY AT YOUR REQUEST.I TAKE CARE OF ONE OR 2 FUR BABIES FOR THE LENGTH OF THEIR STAY.I PROVIDE ONE ON ONE LOVING 🥰 CARE FOR YOUR BABY- BABIES.I WILL NOT MIX FAMILIES.IF YOU PREFER I WILL DO A STAY OVER AT YOUR CONVENIENT HOME 🏠.SAFETY, HEALTH AND COMFORT ARE #1 YOUR FUR BABIES WILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MY HOME, I WILL PLAY WITH THEM, GIVE LOTS OF LOVING 🥰 CARE!

“Stacie has been such a great walker for Bruno! She’s incredibly consistent, easy to communicate with, and very kind. Bruno loves her, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with.”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily. I am currently working independently and using this time to create and spend time with nature’s gifts. My schedule is very flexible - and I am willing to work with you! I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.
“Camila is wonderful to work with and took exceptional care of Dexter! She was on time, communicated well and has a lovely and kind disposition. I will absolutely work with her when we return to Miami.”
About: I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services. I have my own senior pup who I take care of. Daily walks and treats are a necessity! Pet care is incredibly dog-specific and what works for one might not work for the other. I think being flexible and listening to your dogs needs is a constant need. I care for dogs by following instruction not only from owner but pup, being open to their needs and regulating their emotions throughout our visit.
About: Seeking furry friends to petsit I am a 42 year old working LEO professional in Hollywood, Florida. I currently have two golden retrievers, a Birman cat, 3 hermit crabs, and a betta fish. I have 7+ years experience as a professional positive reinforcement dog trainer. I have also been an AKC CGC trainer/evaulator in the past. I also have experience treating several pet medical conditions, and administering shots, pills, wound care, and insulin. I also have experience watching various other types of animals including rabbits, fish, and exotic reptiles. I love all animals. ❤️ I would be able to come for drop-ins before and after work, and possibly at lunch with notice. I work weekdays 8a-5pm usually. I am available all weekend as well. I can only accept local pet parents for weekdays due to my work schedule. I normally do drop-in visits to your home locally. I live in Hollywood, but I have clients all over Broward and Dade. I do take boarding bookings as well in my house. The dog being booked for boarding must be dog-friendly, and not cat-aggressive. I can keep the cat separated if need be. I am willing to go to your home several times a day to take care of your furkids there, via drop-in visits. I live in Hollywood but have clients all over Dade and Broward Counties. I also now offer boarding in my home for dog-friendly dogs.
“Sheni has such beautiful energy! She was so excited to meet Ava, and Ava trusted her right away. This was huge for me, especially since I had just adopted Ava from the shelter a week earlier. She sent me pictures while I was away, which really put me at ease knowing my girl was safe and in good hands. Sheni walked her, fed her, and even took the time to warm up her home-cooked meal a bit before serving it to her. She also spent some time playing with her! Sheni truly went above and beyond and made me feel completely at ease while I was away for a few hours. I’m so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend her! Infinite Thanks Sheni!!!”
“Allison has been awesome helping out with my pets while I'm at work. She is responsible and kind and keeps me updated on how things went each day. I'd definitely recommend her as a petsitter!”
About: I am an animal lover and every summer I spent has been with all different types of animals from all over the world from spider monkeys in the amazon to sea lions and marine iguanas in the Galapagos to bull sharks in Fiji. My true passion is dogs and caring for them because they are so lovable and fun to play with. I’m available all year long and available at anytime. I will care for your pet like he or she is my own. My schedule is currently studying for the LSAT to prepare for law school applications this coming fall.I am mostly in the library and at home as well as visiting my grandfather in Mystic Pointe every week. I pray in the morning, work out right after and then study, work and read throughout the day. I have a French bulldog at home who is only friendly out of the home so I will only be able to provide house sitting services and any and all dog walking services :). I hope this is helpful.
About: I’ve always been around pets and have had the opportunity to care for dogs and other animals throughout the years. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to pet care—I’ve helped friends, family members, and neighbors by watching their pets, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and making sure their furry family members feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I enjoy getting to know each animal, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a calm, relaxing environment. I am flexible with my schedule, contact me for details. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member and create long lasting relationship :) I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I would my own.
About: I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs and cats, providing foster care and helping animals adjust to new environments. I approach every pet with genuine care and love, ensuring their well-being and comfort. In addition to my experience in animal care, I am also a professional groomer, dedicated to helping pets look and feel their best. Currently, I am not working, so I am available to care for your beloved pets all day long, offering them love, attention, comfort, and safety. I offer care for your beloved pets! I have a spacious apartment where your pet will have plenty of room for active play and comfortable rest. I am ready to give your furry friend my full attention all day, providing love, care, and safety. There is also a park nearby, perfect for walks in the fresh air. Your pets will be in good hands, receiving the care and attention they need while you’re busy with your tasks!
About: I have had several dogs and other animals all my life. Animals are my passion. I have a love for dogs especially and an extremely strong bond with them. Being around animals gives me great joy. I have the experience of what it takes to care for and look after animals. I have taken care of the love of my life since he was a puppy and I was able to have the most incredible memories with him throughout his mid-ages and into his senior years. Those 17 years were the best of times. It is amazing how close of a bond you can have with a dog and how incredibly human they truly are. Every animal I encounter I feel as if they are my own. I know whomever chooses me to look after their "loved one/s" would feel they could not have chosen a better person to do so.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I got my first dog 11 years ago. It has become my passion and life’s purpose. I am grateful for the opportunity to do this for a living! I’m currently looking to make this a full time job, so I would give the best care possible to your beloved pet throughout the whole day ! I live in a first floor condo where I have direct access to the backyard, walking areas and doggy park in my Condo. This makes it great for dog daycare & boarding !
“Stella was amazing with our pups! Loved how detail oriented the daily walk reports were and how we were in constant communication regarding anything that would come up. She knew exactly what needed to be done without question and the boys loved her. Would highly recommend!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest
Gillian has been amazing! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. It’s clear how much she cares about the dogs she walks, and we truly appreciate her kindness, professionalism, and dependability. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their pet!
I had a great experience with Javier! He was always very responsible, punctual, reliable, and flexible. I really appreciated that he took the time to come by before the services started to meet us, get familiar with the area, and learn the walking route. That showed how professional and committed he is to doing a great job. Communication was excellent, and everything went very smoothly. I’m very happy with his service and would definitely recommend him. Thank you, Javier!
I had an amazing experience with her! She took such great care of my two fur babies and kept me updated with texts and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The handoff was super easy, and she even came out to help me, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Communication was excellent, everything was clear with no confusion, and she was very flexible and easy to work with. I truly appreciated her service and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her! 🐾❤️
Deena did an excellent job walking our dog at the scheduled times. On rainy days, she communicated with me about adjusting the schedule to ensure he went out for his walks. She responded to my messages immediately with no wait time. She has effective communication skills. Thank you for caring for our dog. Take care!
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.😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Forest is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 7,271 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 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 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 Forest 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 Forest. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 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.
