About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, give medications and bathe their dogs. I have many years of experience in caring for all animals. Dogs and cats are not the only pets I cared for, I have cared for lizards, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, chinchilla and Guinea pig I am currently working part time and I will have plenty of time to spend with the pets I care for. I will be able to stay weekends and holidays with your pets. Your pet comes first. They will be a part of my family and give excellent care whether they are staying at home or with me.

About: I’ve been surrounded by furry friends since I was young. I’m trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets while they travel or figure out life changes. I’m diligent about brushing, cleaning and snuggling-whatever your pup needs, I’m on it! I currently work full time from 9AM-5PM on a four day schedule. In the early morning’s and evenings I am available for walks, play time, training reinforcement, as well as clean up and any additional help needed while you’re away. During the weekends- I’m available all day Saturday-Mondays for walks and plenty of enrichment time! I have a highly energetic dog to keep your pet company! If your pet does not do well with other animals, I am happy to accommodate as needed. With plenty of parks and hikes in the area, I can assure you we’ll take plenty of walks. I will crate your pet if needed for their own safety.

Once again Karla has come to our rescue. I needed nightly walks for a week. She braved some of the coldest days and walked them every evening to my doggies delight to see their favorite sitter. Much appreciated!

About: Hi! I’m veteran and lifelong animal lover with two furry best friends of my own, a Doberman and a Golden Retriever. I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember, helping take care of my neighbors, friends, and family members’ pets since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals have always been a big part of my life. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is caring for your pets. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, playtime, and the care they deserve while you are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I spend my time staying active at the gym and caring for my pets, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to other responsibilities. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, fresh water, food if needed, and a chance to stretch their legs and have some fun. For walks, I’ll keep things safe, comfortable, and enjoyable while letting your pup get the exercise and enrichment they need. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s routine and personality, with lots of love, belly rubs, and of course following whatever instructions you may have.

Bradley is a gem! He accepted my request at the last minute after two other walkers cancelled. Juliet loves him. She comes home tired and happy. He even managed to get my other dog out the door for a potty (Owen is a mama's boy and only goes out for me). Super pleased and very grateful for the professionalism.

About: Hi there! I’ve been raised with animals all my life and have fond memories caring for my sweet pets. I grew up with cats and dogs around me and still enjoy playing with them today. I regularly take care of my family’s dog when vacations arise and I’m happy to meet new dogs and extend that same care to them. 🤗🐾 I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to make visits to your home whenever is best for your dog. 💗 I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates while your dog is in my care and I am happy to play with them with any of their favorite toys. 🐶 I love languages. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and American Sign Language and I’m also currently learning French. I’d be happy to communicate with you in any of those and also speak to your dog in whatever language you use at home as well. 🤟 I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty flexible for visits and for in-home care. I’m mostly always home aside from quick errands and church services. 🤗 In my home, I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can be comfortable running around and playing with us. We also love to take walks. 🤗 If you want me to visit your dog at home, you can feel comfortable knowing they will be at ease in their space as I care for them based on their needs. 🐾

Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to be there on time and provide exceptional care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions you provide.

I love animals and meeting new types of dogs and cats! I work part time during the day but I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends. I have very good time management and I am able to work around my schedule. I take in to account what the environment is when I care for pets such as if there is fenced yard or near a busy road.

About: I bring over two years of professional, hands-on experience working with established pet care companies, caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. My experience includes everything from high-energy, playful pets to shy, anxious, and senior animals who require patience, consistency, and a calm, gentle approach. My care style is highly attentive and individualized. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, comfort level, and routine so I can provide care that feels safe, familiar, and stress-free. Whether it’s structured walks, quiet companionship, enrichment play, or simply a calm presence, I adjust fully to what each animal needs in the moment. I also have experience following detailed care instructions, maintaining clean and comfortable environments, and administering basic medications when needed. I’m confident reading both canine and feline behavior, including body language, boundaries, and stress signals, which helps me build trust quickly with even shy or sensitive pets. Growing up in a home surrounded by both cats and dogs, animal care has always been second nature to me. Combined with my professional experience, it has shaped a calm, observant, and highly reliable approach to every pet I care for. I previously worked with Pawsitivity Pet Services, a professional pet care company in Virginia, where I received a letter of recommendation from the founder recognizing my reliability and dedication to animal care. I have since relocated to Florida. Verified references are also available upon request. 🐾❤️ Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine, and I’ve structured my schedule to be flexible, reliable, and fully focused on providing consistent care. I recently relocated to Florida, and I currently have open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on client needs. I prioritize being dependable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always feel confident their pets are in consistent, attentive care. I take the time to follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure every visit is completed with care, attention, and reliability. Whether it’s ongoing weekly care or occasional bookings, I’m committed to providing trustworthy service that owners can depend on. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I follow all instructions closely to ensure each pet’s safety, well-being, and consistency in their daily care. I focus on maintaining a secure, respectful, and attentive environment during every visit, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or specific routines. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while owners are away, while also giving owners peace of mind that their home and pets are being treated with respect and responsibility at all times.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lake Wales

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Wales on Rover is $18.73 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Wales. 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 Wales. 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 Wales.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Wales. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 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.
