“We LOVE Brittany!!! She is absolutely fantastic! Finn adores her, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure he has a great time on his walks. She's super punctual, keeps me updated with cute pictures and videos, and is always quick to respond to any messages. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my furry baby. Thank you for all that you do!”

About: My name is Jill and I am a freshman in college with a love for animals. I have owned dogs all my life and enjoy caring for them and giving them all the love they deserve. I am very compassionate and trustworthy and will make sure all of your pets needs are taken care of as well as give them unconditional love. This would be a perfect job for me as I love being around animals and helping others. I am a clean and organized person and am willing to do other things needed while house sitting as well. My golden retriever is very friendly and I would love introducing him to new dogs if owner is comfortable with that. I am able to bring your pet to their appointments also. I am looking forward to meeting new furry friends and developing their trust.

About: 🐶 I know how it feels to be super excited for an event or a trip with just one thing dampening that excitement—worry about your baby’s safety and well-being while you’re gone. It is my pleasure and privilege to care for your dog(s) like they are my own so you can enjoy your time and travel with peace of mind. 🐶 I’ve been a dog lover and animal caretaker my entire life. As a child, I grew up with dogs, cats, fish, lizards, ducks, and even rats, learning to carefully care for each species and individual animal based on their needs. As an adult, I have adopted 2 dogs of my own, including a senior pup with demanding health needs, and a rescue pup found abandoned roadside in Puerto Rico. 🐶 I have also fostered many dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and sizes through a local rescue in my area. I understand that each animal is an individual with unique needs, likes, and dislikes, and take the time to get to know each dog I care for. 🐶 I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with trauma, dogs with medical needs, high-energy dogs, reactive dogs, and fearful dogs. 🐶 Caring for dogs isn’t just a “side job” for me—it’s something that brings joy and meaning to my life. I am passionate about animal welfare and well-being and believe every day should be the best day of a dog’s life! • I work from home and have total flexibility in terms of when I complete that work, so your dog’s needs can always come first! My day revolves around your baby 🥰 • Your dog can be outside as often as they wish (and you allow), whether it’s sniffing in the yard, playing fetch or tug of war, or going on walks • Your dog will be able to go in/out of the house for potty breaks, playtime, or rest any time they like • I always supervise dogs in the backyard at all times, on top of having a full fence, so you never need to worry about things like your dog eating something unsafe or trying to escape • Also available for visits at your home, walks in your neighborhood, and doggy daycare! See all my services offered on my profile. 🐕 I have a large, fully-fenced yard filled with toys, interesting smells, and plenty of squirrel and bird watching! 🐕 If your dog enjoys walks or trips to the park, I live on a beautiful and safe low-traffic block and have several dog-friendly parks nearby that we can visit during your pup’s stay, with your permission. 🐕 My dog, Pearl, a 2-year-old mixed breed medium-sized girl, will be overjoyed to keep your pup company, share her many toys, and play play play! She is also happy (and trained) to give your dog space if that is the pup’s preference - I have enough space in my home that dogs can relax separately from one another if they prefer that. 🐕 No need to bring your dog’s bed, we have plenty! The couch is all theirs too! I can also gate off rooms and/or crate your dog at any time if that is what you or your dog needs or prefers. 🐕 A safe environment for your dog is maintained here at all times and is of the utmost importance‼️: —dogs are never left unsupervised —my home is free of choking hazards —play with toys & with other dogs is always carefully monitored —I do not keep any items in the home that are dangerous for a dog to ingest (xylitol, poisonous plants, etc.)

About: All my life I have taken care of animals big and small. Special care or simple care they will be loved and safe with me. I work a hybrid job, from home Monday and Friday office tues-Thurs. all fur babies baby will love the attention and affection they will get. In my home they will have a safe room to sleep or stay in if they want quiet or they can mingle around the house. In your home I would follow your instructions as to where they are allowed to be. At my home our yard is only fenced on 3 sides while it is a large space they would be on a lead at all times.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner wth personal experience raising puppies, caring for adopted senior dogs, and supporting pets with various health conditions. I have been pet sitting for over a decade and have two years of managerial experience in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and hold two levels of professional pet boarding certification through the Professional Pet Boarding Association. I also have additional experience in animal care and wildlife rehabilitation. Through my professional background, I have experienced caring for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, managing various health conditions, and safely administering medications. I would love to provide that priceless peace of mind for your fur babies! Animals are the heart of my everyday life. My mornings start with caring for my three dogs and letting my chickens out for some morning free-ranging while I clean their coop. Afterwards, I follow the schedule that I thoughtfully planned the night before, making sure that I have plenty of time between visits and travel so each animal receives the attention and care they deserve. If I don't have an overnight sitting, I come home throughout the day to take my dogs out and give my chickens some late-day time to forage. If I'm unable to make it home in the evening, my partner happily steps in to care for our furry family members. My days are joyfully filled with animals! I take pride in bringing the same patience, compassion, and attentiveness to caring for other people's pets as I do my own. I care for every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, comfort level, and their specific needs. Through my professional experience, I have cared for an extensive variety of dog breeds, temperaments, ages, and health conditions, including dogs who require extra patience, supervision, or specialized care. The fulfillment I receive from helping an animal feel safe and comfortable is a major reason I chose animal care as my career path. I am attentive to changes in behavior or well-being and take every concern seriously. My professional background has also taught me to remain calm and level-headed during emergencies. I believe communication with owners is just as important as hands-on care, so I make it a priority to keep owners informed and comfortable while their pets are in my care.

About: Through my experience with several pets and as a Petco employee, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—dogs, a rabbit, and chickens—giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal care. I am attentive, reliable, and passionate about keeping dogs happy and active. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra care, or a little extra energy burned off, I’m here to help! As a Petco employee and college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pet throughout the week. Whether your dog needs an afternoon walk or weekend care, I’m more than happy to fit pet care into my routine. I currently walk two dogs on a weekly basis and would love to add time with yours to my schedule! I absolutely love dogs and make every walk a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience :) As the big sister to a loving Pit/Bulldog mix, I understand the importance of prioritizing a pup’s happiness and safety.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lake Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Grove is $27 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 4,290 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Grove. 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 Grove. 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 , 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 Grove 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Grove. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
