About: My life is National Dog Day. When I was little my dad was a breeder, so every summer we had about 15 lab puppies running around. I named one Buddy every time. I have over 20 foster dogs and cats under my belt and recently had a mama and 7 puppies in my home for 2 months. I can guarantee the ever important photo and video updates of your pet. Thank you for looking and feel free to reach out! Annie I currently work part time at a clinic. However, On days I work I am available early mornings and evenings after five as well as weekends! With my experiencing in fostering I’ve learned every dog has drastically different needs, wants and energy levels. Feel free to reach out if your dog has special needs and wants!

About: I grew up in California on a cattle ranch. I've been caring for all types of animals since I was young. I absolutely love pets and promise to treat yours like my own. I currently lost my 15 year old coonhound, Nelson and want to spend time with your companions to fill the void Nelson left behind. I love to stay active and miss my walking companion. My neighbors and friends like to rely on me for help with their pet needs including weekend stays, morning and evening walks and making sure everyone stays on schedule with feedings. Since growing up on a ranch I have been conditioned to administer medications including shots to our animals. If you have a pet that is in need of attentive care while you are away, I am more than comfortable doing so. Friday -Sundays are free. My work hours are Monday- Thursday, 8am - 5pm. Weekends are best for round the clock care. I am used to waking up at 5 am to get a long walk in prior to work and coming home to immediately repeat that long walk. I prefer to stay in your home to care for your pets. I believe that when pet parents are away it is crucial to keep the pets in their same routine to reduce stress and anxiety. I love sticking to a schedule and routine.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for

About: Taking care of pets has always been a passion of mine. As corny as it sounds i’ll always be an animal lover at heart. Any pet I come in contact with I seem to get along with. I’m currently only working part time so taking care of your pet will be no problem with my schedule as it is also very flexible! I have an organized, clean and loving home for my pets right now. They’re supplied with food, water, beds, and their favorite toys. I also have daily walks for them.

About: I have spent my whole life with dogs, caring for our family dogs over the years and dog sitting for friends. I enjoy going on long walks and would love to have a buddy join me, big or small. I’m a graduate student and tend to be available either before 9am or after 5pm. I spend a good amount of time working from my apartment but sometimes have to unexpectedly run into the lab. I’m typically more free during the days on the weekend. I live in an apartment, and will not be able to host dogs here. the apartment is dog friendly so there is a chance i could bring a dog over temporarily, but not overnight. (though I wish i could!)

About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I am originally from Superior. We just recently moved to Woodbury from Appleton. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and the level of care and communication I provide. I’ve had dogs my entire life, including hands-on experience caring for a diabetic dog, so I’m comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and consistent care. I’m confident with high-energy dogs and patient with puppies and seniors who need a gentler pace. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home often and able to provide attentive, structured care, along with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are very open for walks and drop-in visits, as I’m home and have a flexible schedule on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays also work well when my schedule is open, and I’m happy to communicate availability in advance. Weekends are often available as well and may vary slightly depending on my family’s schedule, but I do my best to remain flexible whenever possible. Overnight care is also something I’m excited to offer when my schedule allows, as I understand how comforting it can be for pets to stay in their own home while their owners are away. I’m always happy to discuss scheduling needs and will be clear and communicative to ensure the best care for your pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, closely following their routine and your instructions. In your home, I focus on consistent feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, exercise, and affection, not just a quick stop.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and love getting to know each one I meet! My goal is to make sure your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m most available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, and I’m also available for morning and evening visits Tuesday through Thursday! It is important to me to follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions you provide. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need to feel comfortable when they are in someone else’s care. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!

About: My schedule: I work in-office Monday & Thursday, so can only do evenings those days. Otherwise, can do up to 3 visits the other days of the week! Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a cat, and I currently have a 5-year-old cat that I adopted when he was 10 weeks. I frequently watch my brother’s golden retriever when he travels. I’ve also worked as a nanny for families with cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my routine for a while. For the past two years while I was living in Florida, I regularly cared for two dogs with separation anxiety who couldn’t be left alone for more than an hour. I spent about 20 hours a week with them providing companionship & playtime. When their owners were away for extended day trips, I administered their daily medication. I’m comfortable giving medication when needed and always follow care instructions extremely carefully to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I’m detail-oriented, patient, attentive, and adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I love animals and find it rewarding to help out with pet sitting! 🩵 I’m free most days of the week and able to work with your schedule. Mondays & Thursdays I work in Maple Grove 9-6pm, otherwise I have a lot of availability and flexibility. Since I have my own cat and he’s timid, I prefer to cat sit + dog sit at your house. I can do overnights, check-ins, walks, feedings. I’m a huge animal lover and extremely trustworthy and reliable, can provide pet sitting references if needed!

About: I have owned a dog since I was 3 years old and never looked back. I am the go to person for my friends and family when they are out of town. I will take care and love your best friend just like they are my own. "Dogs are not our while life, but they make our lives whole." I currently work at a group home doing a few overnights a week and also work part time as a server. I am available most days for walks and drop ins. I have a 1 year old German Shepherd who is very sweet and playful, so if your pup is friendly, we can discuss doggy day care as well :) I have a fenced in yard and one dog of my own (German Shepherd) who is very playful, and my roommate has a Grey Hound who is pretty lazy and just lays on the couch all the day. My dog enjoys playing fetch in the yard, going to the dog park, walking the trails by our house, and snuggling up on the couch. Please let me know if your dog is reactive when going on walks, along with if they are friendly towards people and other dogs, as I'm sure there will be plenty of people asking if they can pet your dog! I am guilty of being that annoying person who always asks if I can pet a dog lol My dog is my fur baby and I know how hard it is to find someone who you can trust to treat and take care of your fur baby just like your own. I will spoil and give them love just like they were my own, and just like they deserve :)

My daughter is off to college also so I have time to snuggle up animals! I have a fenced yard and one dog that misses doggy daycare since I am home full time now. He is about 10 and loves to be outside or generally just assisting in all things I do during the day.

About: I'm Sara and I love dogs and I'm at my happiest when I'm with pups. Rover allows me to meet and take care of a wide variety of dogs from different breeds to sizes to personalities! I have one pup named Lucky. As you will read in my reviews, he has met many different breeds and ages of dogs over the years and loves making new friends. I know how hard it can be to be away from your furry friends. It can often be stressful and daunting to not only leave them with a stranger, but find someone you trust to care for your loved one. I am dependable, reliable, fun and loving and I will make sure to stay in constant and consistent communication with pet owners. I care for each dog who stays at my home as my own, which means total spoilage, lots of kisses and tons of cuddles. I'm home by 4pm M-Thursday and home by 11am on Fridays. Have a flexible schedule to be able to run home at lunch for potty breaks. I have a private fenced in backyard and will only take your pup or pups during the stay. For crate trained dogs, I have access to a few different size crates or feel free to provide your own.

About: I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life. I've cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes and ages for family, friends, and now people on Rover. I must say, I've met some pretty awesome dogs and people through Rover. I am retired, but clean a couple houses on a monthly basis. I can typically schedule cleaning days around pet sitting. If I happen to clean a day I'm pet sitting, the longest I'm away is typically 4 hours. I don't have a dog of my own at this time. My Ella, sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December of 2021. Crazy how your life totally changes when they are gone. I miss all my dogs more than anything and will some day have another dog or two. In the meantime, I get my dog fix by taking care of other people's dogs. I will provide exercise and companionship for your dog(s) as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to leave them when you want some time away. I will do my best to keep them on the schedule and routine they are familiar with to ease their stress of you being away. I will communicate with you daily with updates and photos, unless you specify otherwise.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lakeland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lakeland is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $50 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 4,785 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lakeland. 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 Lakeland. 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 Lakeland 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 Lakeland. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
