About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. Including gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, birds, dogs, cats, and assisted with goats, donkeys, horses. I have prior pet sitting experience. My Mother owned a pet sitting business in the early 2000's, I assisted her. She has since retired and is from the Sykesville/Eldersburg area...farmland area more or so back then...many things have changed. She taught me to love all animals, even if they're grouchy...look for that light that's inside them...love that. Cat parents...we had barn cats...Spanky and Cleo, the occasional stray that decided to call are farm home. We had heated and a/c controlled tack rooms. Both cats were adopted from shelters and lived 10 plus years. They had free roam with the horses...goats...donkeys...and neighbors dog Bailey...very well loved. I do know that cats are particular with who they accept/like. Sometimes it takes time. But it's important to pay attention to them and their body language. I respect that. I have plenty of time to help take care of pets. Whether it's daily visits or vacations, it's important to know your furry, scaled, or feather babies are in good hands. Depending on your pets needs, I love petting and giving cuddles to animals. I am comfortable changing rodent and bird cages, or different needs for individual pets. Just an update since I have been on Rover...I have lost both my dogs, Diesel 12/21 and Riley 2/23, Diesel was a rescue pup that we adopted at 6 months old. Riley was from a private home. They were together from 6 and 9 months old and were my best friends. I miss them dearly and think about them everyday. Diesel was just about 13 years old and Riley was over 14 years old. I am taking a break for a bit from having my own pups, and all the love I have for dogs and any animal will be passed on to any that I take care of. I am available weekdays and weekends. Mornings and evenings, mid day visits as well Monday thru Friday. I communicate my schedule during the meet and greet or prior to booking if there is any conflicts. I treat my clients pets as I would my own. It can be lonely and scary when a pets owner is gone more than normal, they will get lots of love.

About: Hi, I'm Michael, a dependable pet lover in the Pasadena, MD area. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and every visit includes fresh water, feeding on your schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and a quick photo update so you know how your pet is doing. I have been a pet owner ever since 1995 and am comfortable with all sizes and types. I'm careful and patient and treat every pet like family. I'm available during the week and most hours and I live close by, so I can be flexible for last-minute visits. I have reliable transportation and I always show up on time. I'd love to meet you and your pet before the first booking so we can go over routines, quirks, and anything special they need. Thanks I am currently working part time doing deliveries and pet care. I have a full fenced back yard and a basement if crates are needed but prefer to keep animals out of crates. I have a fenced in yard and my house is sectioned off top and bottom, as well as rooms that can be used for the animals as needed.

About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and wednesday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.

About: HI!! My name is Alison K! I am here to help with all of your Animal Needs from Dogs and Cats to Hampsters, Chincillas and even Snakes! I am available Saturday and Sundays any time as well as weekdays after work hours (evening times). I love to cuddle and play with all animals and previously was employed at an animal hospital so I have a lot of experience with Ill animals and animals who may need medication or additional needs. I am 28 years old, very energetic in good health and love to be active! I have my own house and yard for dogs to play in. I have 2 Golden Retreivers of my own whom are well trained and extremely dog and human friendly. With them I have watched other dog social animals as well as non social animals. I am also interested in animal behaviors so find all animals interesting and can help train for basic commands as well as more complex commands like rolling over, shake, and even play dead! I can be contacted at all times and highly recommend Meet and Greets or Video Chat with all potential clients. In my home your animals will have the luxury to feel like they are at home themselves. My Fiance and I do not crate animals unless recommended or for their own health and safety and allow all on furniture. Friends and family members have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their animals and I have also taken on rescues (who all have found their forever homes and I still contact). Your pets will be treated as they should with a lot of care and affection. I also work with people to find the best fit for their needs at the best price just feel free to contact me! I currently work full time at an office. I come home during my lunch breaks (about an hour of play time) and am off anywhere around 2-4 Monday - Friday. With my Fiance and I's schedules the animals are never left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly neighborhood to walk them in and 2 Fur Babies of my own to keep them company. I can also crate train and give them extra care if needed.

“Tina is absolutely the BEST! She always shows up on time, and my puppy absolutely LOVES going on walks and playing tug with her. I especially appreciate that she lets him take his time sniffing and exploring while also patiently teaching him not to pull on the leash. When he had an accident in his crate, Tina went above and beyond without hesitation—she cleaned him up and took care of the entire mess! She is incredibly caring, reliable, and will send you the cutest pictures she takes of your puppy during her time there. I HIGHLY recommend Tina to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!”

Aidan took wonderful care of our foster, Tango, who had just recently gotten neutered. I was nervous about leaving him, but after a meet and greet with Aidan, I knew he was in great hands. They were very respectful of the notes I left and were attuned to Tango's needs in his vulnerable state. Their calm and grounding energy was just what Tango needed during his recovery. I would highly recommend Aidan to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful, kind, and reliable person to care for their pets.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lake Shore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lake Shore is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $19 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 November 2026, there are 9,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Shore. 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 Lake Shore. 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 Shore 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 Shore. On Rover:

  • 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
