About: I grew up with dogs in my family, walking other people’s dogs and now have a dog of my own. I love to walk, and I love to play with dogs. I’m very comfortable with walking dogs of all sizes. I’m not intimidated by big dogs (we had a 95 pound BullMastiff). I’m good at building trust with a dog by letting them move at their pace. And I understand some dogs can be anxious or shy. I’ve taken care of my friend’s very anxious chihuahua. I know to make sure he knew I was about to reach him and to make sure I was always calm so he felt safer. I’m also happy to do drop-in for cats. Many of my friends have cats and I love to play with them, and know to be calm and let them come to me. My job schedule varies depending on the week, but I usually work evenings. So even days I work, I can potentially walk or do drop-ins during the day. I don’t care for pet’s in my home. But for client’s homes, I would make sure to leave my shoes by the door before entering the house. I would also make sure to wipe the dog’s paws if necessary before entering the house. I would make sure to check that their waterbowl is full, and anything else the owner asked for. For drop-ins, I like to make sure the dog or cat gets some playtime and pets.
“Arielle is the best! She is very reliable and proactive in her communication with us. I love all of the pictures and updates she sends me when I’m at work! She goes above and beyond for our puppy and we always come home to a happy dog!”
“Anja is great with my rowdy 9 year old lab! Will totally book again. Super communicative about what my dog tried to eat (my dog has pica) and it’s really appreciated. Great communication and super nice!”
“Elaine is wonderful! My dog just goes bananas when she arrived for walks and he comes home totally exhausted. She is really comfortable with him as a large dog and is really easy to work with. Excellent communication and just overall a great find.”
“Our dog Kuma loves Michael! We are super lucky to have him on our team. Michael is flexible and a great communicator! Kuma is a large, 1 year old golden retriever with quite a bit of puppy energy and some habits we're still trying to work out, and Michael is so patient and kind with him. Highly recommend booking Michael!”
“Kendra followed the instructions that I gave her perfectly! I felt super comfortable leaving a key for her to walk my dog, she sent me photos after the walk while I was at work which was super comforting. She even put eye drops in her eye. I would 100% book her again.”
About: Hello! I'm Annie. I grew up with a golden retriever, 2 labs and 3 cats, and as an adult I've looked after pets for family and friends. I'm new to Rover, but I'm flexible and enthusiastic and excited to meet some new 4-legged friends! When I'm not planning my next adventure, you can find me hiking in the mountains, running, cooking, looking for a decent flat white, seeing live music, doing yoga or cuddling my friends' dogs. My schedule is flexible, and I'm open to setting up something on a regular basis. I'm a project manager by trade and currently on a sabbatical and staying in Lake Forest Park in between travelling. In addition to walking, I am happy to stay in your home as a housesitter and care for your pets while you're away. I'm responsible and tidy and will leave things as I found them.
“Ecko Loves David and is super excited when he arrives. David's calm personality keeps my anxious German Shepard chill and relaxed, allowing for a productive walk.”
About: I have had a labrador retriever for 5 years now and have developed a deep care and passion for dogs! My dog was quite crazy so I definitely have experience with training and teaching pets. I am very patient, reliable, and friendly! Whether it’s a simple walk or overnight boarding, I would be more than happy to care for your dog! ☺️🐾🐶 I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time to care for your pups!! My schedule is very free and flexible! I am very responsible and reliable when taking care of pets! I stay on schedule and make sure to keep a comfy environment for pets. I will always give them the attention they need!
About: What sets my apart is I’m a dog mama myself so I will take all the pictures and send all the updates! Which is something I love when sitters do for me! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I work evenings so mornings and afternoons are prime time for a good dog walk. Also open to group walks and playtime with my dog and yours. I am attention to detail on the owners preferences with written instructions or recommendations, as well as I love to add my dose of lovins hehe
“My girls really enjoy their walks with Matthew and seem happy when I get home from work every day. They trust him and when they are happy with someone, I’m happy! My little girl has reduced kidney function and can’t always hold her bladder as long. But Matthew is consistent every day and I’ve noticed fewer late afternoon/evening (before I get home) accidents. She’s doing really well.”
“So happy with Adonna. She’s always on time and so great with all my dogs. She gives good feedback and sends pics of their little adventures. I highly recommend her.”
About: Every dog is different with energy and awareness when I take my friend’s dog for a walk, she would need time to sniff around and enjoy the sunshine Right now, I am currently studying in Seattle for helping the family business so I am available from 10 AM to 4pm Monday through Friday I usually would go over to my friends house, play with their dog and feed them and give water and keep an eye on them if they need to go to the restroom or not
“I fully trust Gabi with Martin. She is so thoughtful and thorough! He pulls very hard on walks and she said she could help work on that. She shared her observations of Martin’s behavior and showed me a game to play during walks to practice loose leash walking.”
“Allie was a wonderful dog walker! She was a great communicator and took some very cute pictures. She also was super kind when my dog was having some potty troubles, so she definitely goes above and beyond!”
“Louise was very diligent about walking Bowie and keeping me updated on his walks. I had to go out of town unexpectedly and Louise was very accommodating and flexible. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog walker services.”

We are so appreciative of Jovi’s care, handling, and understanding for our big, energetic 1.5 year old Labrador puppy! Her walks are consistent and timely, she is responsive to work with, and she always makes sure our pup has water before she leaves. Thank you, Jovi!
Wenlin saved the day! I had a last-minute emergency while traveling last week and Wenlin said she could come by and take my dog Bobby out for me. I was so relieved! Not only that, but she got him to #2 on a leash (which he does NOT normally do :). She's been such a great help!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Forest Park on Rover is $30 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 .

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 Park. 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 Park.

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 Park. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
