About: Years ago, my mother and I owned a boarding kennel and I was a professional groomer. Now I am semi-retired and loving spending time with furry friends! I am familiar with all breeds and love them all! We have always had a pet in our home and would love to provide care while you have to be away. I currently work outside the home for a partial day on Mondays. Other than errands and appointments, I am home all day to interact with your fur baby! Should an emergency come up, I am available. All our furry guests are treated like family. We have a large fenced in yard with no steps for the older fur babies. We own a cat that pretty much keeps to herself. We are good with pets of all ages and understand they all need different levels of care. We are empty nesters, so have the time and energy to keep up with any needs your pet may have. With the exception of Mondays, someone is home all day to provide personal care and supervision for your pet. Mondays Alice works outside the home for a partial day and pets would need to be left alone for 4-6 hours, or she would need to be able to bring your pet (only one) to work with her. Both Alice and Don love animals and provide a nurturing and loving environment for your pet in their home with regular potty breaks in their fenced in back yard.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always made sure they were taken care of. I’ve taken care of a total of 5 litters of golden retriever puppies. I have an 80 pound husky mix who is 3 years old. I walk him about 3-5 miles daily and love the occasional hikes and parks! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to watch your lovely pups. I am available most days every week including weekends! I have a friendly dog who loves to play and have the company of others. There’s a small dog park in my townhouse complex. I have an extra large dog crate if it is needed.

About: I have cared for many pets over the past 30 years (dogs in the past decade). I am also a foster for the Humane Society of Union County. Pets hold a very special place in our hearts and in our lives, and often times help is required. I am here to offer help so that you, your family, and pets can all thrive. Extra love and praises are always included! It would be a privilege for me to care for your furry family members! ❤️ I am open to help during all weekdays, while my kids are busy at school. This would be M/T/Th 9-5, and W/F 9-1. Flexibility with other days and times can be worked out if communicated and scheduled enough in advance. During the day I have a very quiet house, as well as 2 acres, easy nearby walking avenues, and crates, if your dog requires to be crated at certain times. For cats, I have plenty of comfy nap spots, as well as a litter box for use. 🐶 🐱 🩷

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about the age of 14. My cousin had 2 older Dachshunds (one was blind), and a Pomeranian. I have experience walking, feeding, brushing and playing with dogs. I also am flexible with accommodating older dogs medical needs, whether that be picking them up due to a back injury or making sure they don’t run into sharp objects if they have visual impairments. I believe all dogs no matter the size, age or breed should be given the right care and attention that they deserve. I want to gather as much experience taking care of as many breeds as possible, I plan to be a foster dog mom in the future. I currently have some availability on the weekends in the fall except when I am on vacation. I love taking care of pets and am available throughout the week and will be able to take your fur babies for lots of playtime outside. I enjoy walking and spending time in nature with pets. I love walking outside and am used to living in residential spaces. I have no issues with wiping your dogs paws with a wet wipe or paper towel if they get too dirty from walking outside.

My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to adjust to fit in with your family’s routine.

About: Hi! I’m a high school teacher, trail enthusiast, and proud fur mom to a rescue pup named Sherlock. When I’m not grading biomedical labs or herding students through science experiments, you’ll find me in the mountains chasing the next hiking/biking trail, chasing Sherlock around the backyard playing fetch or relaxing on the couch with Sherlock, watching Sherlock Homes! As someone who knows the juggling act of a busy schedule and a beloved pet, I’m here to help make your life easier with drop-in visits and dog walking that feel more like playdates than chores! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk to burn off zoomies or a midday check-in full of tail wags and treats, I’ve got it covered. Cat parents, I see you too! I’m gentle, patient, and totally fluent in “cat” whether that means lap cuddles, feather wand marathons, or just keeping the food bowl filled to royal standards. I know every fur baby has their own personality, and I make it my mission to meet them where they are. I’m family-oriented, active, and passionate about animals of all kinds. Charlotte is my playground, and I love exploring its parks, neighborhoods, and pet-friendly spots. If your pet likes fresh air and good vibes, we’ll be fast friends. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your four-legged family member (and spoil them a little, too). I do have flexibility as a teacher! I have summers off, most holidays, and some random days here and there. I get out early afternoon so I do have availability from early afternoon until nights. Weekends I am available any time typically. I will make sure your fur baby gets all the love and attention they needs! If it is to get some zoomies out, be fed, play time, and maybe a few extra belly rubs!

About: I've been caring for dogs ever since I was little! I have always been absolutely in love with dogs. My first dog was a Great Dane, and ever since then I have had a soft spot in my heart for big dogs (that think they're lap dogs). Then I had a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug). I expertise in tummy rubs, and running off built up energy. Just being around dogs, playing with them, and walking them makes me happy! I have cared for all sizes of dogs, and have experience with several breeds. You can trust that I will take the best care of your pooch while mom and dad are away! I am available throughout the week. Can’t wait to help! Im mostly free throughout the week. I am happy to do overnights, and drop ins when I can. I make my sits a priority when I have them! If you need in-home services at your house, just let me know toys or activities available and preferred, and any parks or trails near by!

About: I have 3 years of experience dog walking and pet sitting! I have watched various dog breeds as well as watched multiple dogs at one time. Pet care is apart of my daily and weekly routine depending on the needs of each pet I pet sit. I enjoy taking pets on walks, to the park and playing with them. I currently live in an apartment so when pet sitting I make sure pets have plenty of time outside on walks and at the pet parks near by.

About: I’m a high school graduate with a senior dog and a 10 year old cat. I love them so much and take care for them very seriously. My parents have always been super adamant about treating our pets in the healthiest way possible and I am aspiring to do the same! I give my dog baths and take care of her when my parents are out of town. I also have had petsitting jobs with my sister in the past and have pet sat a neighborhood friend’s dog for a week by myself. I babysit and help take care of her two dogs as well. I hope to meet your furry friend! I’m currently working two hours a day every day in the afternoon/evening. I am out of school so I have lots of time to walk your pet! I will not be boarding any dogs in my own home or staying at someone else’s house to dog sit. We can negotiate hours if you would like me to stay with your dog for longer. I prefer to walk smaller dogs as I am not physically capable of pulling away big dogs from people, animals, cats, distractions, etc. Even if your dog is a big puppy, I will not walk a big dog.

About: Amo a las mascotas sobretodo los perros, sé que no son niños pero los trato tal cual respetuosa y cuidadora, me he criado con una mascota en casa desde mi infancia, mi primera mascota era un Rottweiler llamada Danger, ella era una belleza de perro, era grande e imponente, mi hermano y yo la entrenamos al punto que salía a caminar sin leash en la calle, acataba todas las ordenes que le dabamos, era muy inteligente. Al pasar de los años cuando conocí a mi esposo, el ya tenía un perro, era un poodle llamado Blacky el se convirtió rápidamente en mi bebe el no tenía muchos habitos de entrenamiento y con el pasar del tiempo le fui enseñando cosas básicas, como sentarse, dar la pata y caminar al lado sin que saliera corriendo sin leash, el falleció hace un par de años, su perdida fue muy dura de verdad. Y no hemos tenido más perros por los momentos, pero amigos y vecinos me han dado sus perros con lo ojos cerrados porque saben que los cuido muy bien, soy muy respetuosa y cariñosa, lo más importantes es que siempre busco de enseñarle algún truco, en mis fotos podrán ver algunos perros que he tenido cuidando varios dias, tengo a Toby que aparece en mi foto de perfil parecido a mi perro Blacky a Mila una cachorra hermosa, y luna una viejita hermosa. me gusta jugar con ellos y darle mucho amor. 🐕‍🦺Tener una mascota es mucha responsabilidad amor y paciencia. Estoy comenzando en esta app Rover formalmente y me gustaría cuidar a tu peludito. 🤗🐶 Actualmente trabajo por mi cuenta y estoy la gran parte de las veces en casa. Podría usar una parte de mi tiempo para visitar a tu mascota y recargar las energía con ella. Tengo un jardín súper grande y tengo bastante espacio para jugar con el o ella. Tambien en la urbanización puedo darle varias vueltas y conozcan la zona

About: With 17 years of dedicated experience in dog care, I am the proud owner of three canine companions – one over 14 years old and two between 1-2 years old. Specializing in comprehensive care for senior dogs, I prioritize their well-being, and I am equally adept at managing the exuberance of high-energy dogs. Ensuring a hygienic and comfortable environment is a commitment I extend to all dogs in my care, with particular attention to the unique needs of senior dogs, including accidents, diaper changes, and puppy pad adjustments. My comfort level extends to administering medications, accommodating special diets, handling leash-pulling, and caring for larger breeds. I possess valuable knowledge in addressing the specific requirements of elderly dogs, demonstrating proficiency in managing issues like accidents, diaper usage, and the regular changing of puppy pads. I derive immense joy from engaging dogs in activities that balance their mood and energy levels, whether it's long walks, runs, or interactive play. When entrusted with a dog's care, I treat them as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, health, and happiness. Confident in my ability to discern any signs of discomfort or distress, I am vigilant as a pet owner and can readily identify when a dog requires assistance. I am fully adaptable and committed to following any special requests or specific needs for the pups under my care. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, my enthusiasm and passion for dogs make me eager to embark on this exciting journey. Rest assured, your furry companions will be in caring and capable hands under my watch. I can tailor the walks or check-ins to accommodate your schedule. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to adjust to the time that suits you best. In my dedicated care environment, safety, trust, and a comfortable setting are paramount for both my canine companions and future clients' dogs. With a senior dog and two energetic youngsters, my fenced-in backyard provides a secure space for them to play and explore. I understand the importance of addressing unique challenges, such as leash aggression, and have diligently worked with my dog to overcome it. I prioritize clear communication, always ensuring others are aware when encountering another dog. This proactive approach reflects my commitment to the safety and well-being of all dogs involved, fostering an environment where trust and harmony thrive.

About: I am new to the business of dog walking and dog sitting, but I have been around dogs the majority of my life. Growing up my family had three dogs, and currently I have a seven year old rescue dog, named Arya, whom I had adopted in 2019. I am originally from Charlotte, so I know the area well. Looking forward to this experience! While I used to be employed as a TA at FSU when I was a graduate student, I am currently unemployed and searching for research positions as a biologist. My days consist currently of job applications or writing papers, so I hace a flexible schedule. I will treat all dogs with the same love and care, no matter their breed, age, etc. My own dog is a mutt (Rottweiler mix).

About: My husband and I have raised our golden retriever since he was a puppy into adulthood. We watch our family and friends pets for days or week at a time usually in our home, but can come by your own if needed. I have experience with ages from puppy to elderly and the details that come along with that (no instruction list is too big!). As long as they are all okay with staying in the home with our very pet friendly dog. I am also able to come to others houses for babysitting, walking or anything that may be needed away from our home if I am able to. I currently work a hybrid schedule and go into the office Tuesdays and Thursdays but my husband is home on the days that I am in office and vise versa. We can be home on the weekends as long as we have notice in advance. We usually treat pets like family in our home and a friend to our dog, Bogey. He loves both dogs and cats no matter the size or age. We are organized, active and respectful of a pet or clients boundaries.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lake Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Park is $16 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $25 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 4,920 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake 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 Park. 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 Park 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 Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
