“Sabria did a great job with my new rescue, Buddy. Buddy was being extra challenging and Sabria helped Buddy to go outside in the backyard for a potty break. I am so glad that she could pivot and help Buddy. Sabria communicated well with me and took good care of Buddy. He was doing much better after her visit. I am so thankful for Sabrina’s help!”
“Taylor has been incredible with Benji and super communicative with me while I transitioned back to the office full-time! He can be a bit shy around new people and she was so patient with him every time she came to get him for his walk. She knows exactly what needs and makes sure he feels supported and happy on their daily walks. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who lives in the area!!”
About: Hey everyone! I’m Melanie, a recent Environmental Science grad from George Mason University. I absolutely love taking morning and afternoon strolls at the nearby parks as it’s a nice way to unwind and enjoy nature! When it comes to pet’s, I've been a dog lover since I was a kid! My family has always had furry companions around, and caring for them truly brings me so much joy. I’m a morning person, so I love getting my errands done early in the day!

“Grace is so wonderful! I am so glad I found her. My sweet almost 13 year old beagle absolutely loves her! She sends me lots of pics and keeps me updated with how the visit/ walk is going. She is easy to communicate with and very personable! She’s very trustworthy and I felt comfortable right away. Highly recommend!!! I know my fur baby is well taken care of when I go to work and I don’t have to worry with having someone that I can trust!”

About: I've helped raise my two family dogs! A Jack Russell Terrier and a Great Pyrenees. My family has had both since they were puppies so I have experience with puppy care!

About: I love playing and spending time with animals. I am very respectful of the owners and responsible for what my job is. I’ve taken care of friends animals as well as family animals when they visit my home. Never a dull moment with pets, have cared for those with disabilities and very young puppies. I enjoy walking myself so long walks are something I love doing. I am also an outside person so playing with animals outside is good. I’m flexible with my schedule to a certain point. I have 3 of my own dogs and take care of my boyfriend’s two dogs, so plenty of experience in that sense. I own 3 of my dogs and manage to take care of my boyfriends two from time to time. So dogs are not a lot of work for me, my schedule is quite used to it. Always have them on a leash at all times to ensure they are within reach for me. I also will always have an eye on them to make sure they are not getting into anything they aren’t supposed to.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Ridge
Hannah did a wonderful job taking care of Prince while I was out of town! She was reliable, attentive, and communicated very well throughout my trip. She was also flexible and handled some unexpected changes at my home with ease, which I truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Prince was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Hannah and would happily book her again!
She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling. She was also friendly and approachable, which made coordinating everything a smooth and pleasant experience. We appreciated her availability and flexibility and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!
Toni was wonderful with Ana and Elsa! She was very patient and caring, especially with Ana, who can sometimes be a little stubborn during her walks. 😊 I really appreciated how attentive and understanding Toni was with both of them. I would definitely recommend her!
Our expectations were well exceeded by Mary’s excellent communication and her adherence to our agreed-upon schedules. We hadn’t left our pup for an extended period before with someone she didn’t know and was grateful to Mary for her care. We would definitely consider hiring Mary again if she was available! We are particularly pleased when our dog’s pet sitter treats her almost as well as we do with conversation and petting sessions .
Kay did such a wonderful job handling our old girl. She went above and beyond when Miss Peppers developed a troubled tummy the day before her first walk. Kay kept me well informed, cleaned up some mess (above and beyond!) and checked in to see if she was feeling better. Kay was also flexible about changing a walk day when our plans changed at the last minute.
Melissa is absolutely wonderful!!! My dog has only been left alone one time, so I was nervous leaving her for 9 days. But Melissa put all my worries to rest. I really enjoyed receiving the detailed reports and pictures twice a day. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was well cared for. I highly recommend Melissa! I will definitely hire her again for future vacations.
Lohan is wonderful with King. He’s on time and reliable. One day it rained and he was concerned with King being comfortable in the weather conditions. King is excited for his walks with Lohan, as he wakes me up early to get him ready and then he patiently waits by the door. Lohan is very good with communicating with me and keeps me updated. I absolutely love the pictures I receive every morning. I would definitely recommend Lohan.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Ridge is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 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.

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 Ridge. 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 Ridge 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 Ridge. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
