“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!”
“Lu was so gentle and caring for our 13yo Havanese dog who is completely blind , mostly deaf and his smell isn’t as good as it used to be. She would at times carry him back to the car because he was tired and ir hot. We had to adjust our walk times and she had no problems with last minute changes. She is very compassionate and caring. I would definitely recommend her in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I'm a 27-year-old graduate student at UW Bothell working toward my Master's in Accounting. I've been around animals my whole life, growing up with both dogs and cats, and I currently have three cats of my own. When I'm not studying, you'll usually find me playing soccer, skiing, or spending time outdoors. I've spent my whole life around both dogs and cats, so I understand that every pet is different. I enjoy getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. Whether it's keeping up with their routine, making sure they get plenty of attention, or sending updates while you're away, my goal is to help both you and your pet feel comfortable and stress-free. As a grad student, my schedule's pretty flexible — a mix of day and night classes means I can usually work around a pet's routine rather than the other way around. That flexibility lets me be consistent with feeding, walks, and check-ins, even if the hours shift day to day. I map out my free windows in advance, so your pet's routine stays steady no matter what my class day looks like. Whether I'm in your home or mine, safety and comfort always come first. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible — same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits — so nothing feels disrupted while you're away. I keep a close eye on their environment and I'm always watching for anything that seems off. Having dogs and cats of my own means I'm used to spotting small changes in behavior early. My goal is always the same: your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they're one of my own.
“Great experience. I would definitely use Teagan in the future. My dogs did well with him and even came back positive after getting caught in the pouring down rain with Teagan.”
“Talia walked Rocky three days in a row for us when we had something come up and she was always on time, a great communicator, sent photos and provided a recap of their walk together. I would ask her to walk Rocky again in a heartbeat!”
“He has been incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful with my dog. He’s patient and kind, as she is a puppy with a loud bark! He is always on time and does a great job keeping me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m not home. What really stands out is how attentive he is to her individual needs: she has a very thick coat, and he goes out of his way to take her to shaded, forested areas so she can stay comfortable and cool during her walks. He’s also been incredibly helpful when she’s had accidents or diarrhea in the house, including cleaning everything up without hesitation. I would absolutely recommend!”
About: Your pet is part of your family and I will treat them like they're part of my family. I understand rules are different in each house and I'll ensure I respect and follow your rules to ensure your pet returns just as happy and healthy as I received them. I am currently working from as a therapist so I have the flexibility and ability to ensure your pet is well cared for. They will be able to go out when needed and get regular walks! I can come to your home or they are welcome in mine. We have a large fully fenced backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with many walking paths to ensure they get their stimulation. For the cats, we have cat towers and toys ready to go for the playful kitties.
About: Hello! I'm Annie. I've loved being a dog aunty for family and friends, and I enjoy looking after people’s pets in general. I’m reliable, communicative and always 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.
About: Hello! I am an artist and educator and always looking for more ways to spend time with animals. I grew up with dogs and am now a cat mama of 2. I love long walks myself and am happy to take doggies for walks, or play with cats or dogs (my cats are very playful). I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! My day job is in education and I am often available by mid to late afternoon, a perfect time for dog walking. My summer break is coming up soon and I will be much more flexible. I do a lot of gig work on weekends but am flexible to come care for your babies. I am particularly looking for dogs that love walking and being outside as much as I do! I see pets as family members, and would care for them with the same care and attention I would use caring for children! I am punctual, reliable, and value communication.
About: What Sets Me Apart I provide more than just pet sitting—I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I also trained my own dog, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and clear communication. I treat every pet in my care like my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently in school. And would love to take care of your pets in the afternoons. I can check in on them and give them afternoon walks, treats and pee breaks, whatever you and your pet may need! How I Care for Pets in Your Home I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lake Forest Park is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
Ren is amazing, kind, and timely. She walks our super-active and curious Malinois (Sansa). Ren sets a quick pace for her walks with Sansa, and Sansa is always tuckered out and snuggly in the afternoons after her walks. I would 100% trust her for, pet sitting, in home care, and whatever other services she is offering for your pets. Her consistency with communication and timeliness is great, and I totally trust her with our dog.
We have been so blessed to find Jasmine! She is a great communicator and incredibly kind and caring with our elderly corgi, Riley. She has house sat and been a life saver with last minute walks. Riley looks for Jasmine around the house after each visit. We will continue to count on Jasmine in the future for her top tier pet care.
Kate was a wonderful and superstar sitter for our dogs, Buster & Solomon! This was our first time booking with Kate. We were impressed with her great communication, organization and great care with our dogs on their walk. We hope to book her again the next time we need a sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Ivana! She took great care of Charlie while we were away, kept us updated after each walk, and was very attentive to her needs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Charlie’s well-being. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again!
Lu was so gentle and caring for our 13yo Havanese dog who is completely blind , mostly deaf and his smell isn’t as good as it used to be. She would at times carry him back to the car because he was tired and ir hot. We had to adjust our walk times and she had no problems with last minute changes. She is very compassionate and caring. I would definitely recommend her in the future.
Jamie was absolutely wonderful with Buddy! She was super helpful, attentive, and made everything so easy during our scheduled visit. I really appreciated how caring and reliable she was with Buddy, and I would definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog. Thank you so much!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Forest Park on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 11,263 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Forest Park. 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 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.
