“We needed a dog walker as my husband was recovering from foot surgery and I was leaving town for a few days. Xiaotong did a fantastic job with our pups. She sent lots of photos of their walks. They were thrilled to go with her each day. We will certainly call on her again.”
“Sarah is the best! My dog is always super excited to see her and she's been a big help while I am at work and a pleasure to be around. Not only is she reliable, but she has been available to help me out last minute which I very much appreciate! Thanks, Sarah!”
“Nathaly was great with my dogs. She helped me in a jam and came over same day to walk them. She was super communicative and the boys were nice and tired when they returned. Highly recommend.”
“In the morning light, they stroll side by side, Renee and Lizzie, with tails held high. Through parks and paths, their laughter rings, Joy in each step, oh, the happiness it brings. With a wag and a bark, Lizzie prances along, Renee’s gentle voice is a sweet, soothing song. Chasing the leaves and sniffing the air, Together they wander, without a single care. A bond so lovely, a friendship so true, In every adventure, it’s just them two. With wagging tails and hearts that gleam, Renee and Lizzie, living the dream.”
“I had to be away from home for several appointments and Mandi came and took my poop for a walk. I came home to a happy dogo who clearly had a good day. She wasn’t pouting when I came home!!”
“Andrhu is so great with our girls! He plays so well with our social dog so that she is worn out and happy when we get home. For our shy dog, he gives gentle attention and praise, working to form a bond of trust. He was also so thoughtful to stow our Amazon delivery safely out of sight. He really is the best!”
“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. As a flight attendant, I understand how important trust, communication, and reliability are. Whether you’re away for work, vacation, or just need an extra hand, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re gone. I’ve always been an animal lover and know that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel comfortable, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I believe pets thrive when they feel secure, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of reassurance that they’re happy and having fun. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need dependable, loving care! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I currently have a pug. As a flight attendant, my schedule gives me dedicated time at home between trips, allowing me to provide focused, attentive care to the pets I watch. On the days I’m caring for your pet, my schedule revolves around their needs—from morning potty breaks and walks to playtime, meals, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my care to match their needs—whether they love active playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles on the couch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while you’re away.

Currently owned by energetic husky girl named Tikanni Rose and a sweet tortie kitty named Willow. I have a college age daughter living at home who can take of my fur babies while I take care of yours. I have experience with senior dogs and cats, puppies and kittens, and previously fostered for a cat rescue. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for pet sitting services in your home, including overnight stays or drop in visits, and dog walking. Home owner on a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully fenced yard. Will schedule a meet and greet to ensure I fully understand your pet's needs. Happy to provide photos and videos.
About: My name is Samantha! I am teacher and have breaks to help out other dog owners. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am very safe and responsible and am used to managing 30 kids all day, I can definitely handle a couple pups! I will be very respectful of your time and can be flexible to accommodate you and your pup. I love going in walks, and would love to take yours on safe ones as well. I can do drop in visits and overnights as well, thank you!! I am off for the summer so I have lots of time currently! I no longer have pets of my own anymore, so it's even easier for me to make space in my schedule. I have a yard but it is not fully fenced so pets would always be leashed. I no longer have any animals in my home.
“Danielle was kind, communicative and punctual. My little guy loved her immediately! Will be using her again in the future. It would be a pleasure to recommend her to family and friends for their fur babies.”
About: Hello, I provide flexible and reliable care for your fur baby! I have 2 very amazing kids ages 17 and 12. I was employed at Doozy Dog Club taking care of multiple (sometimes over 60) dogs at night by myself!!!) I am very detail oriented as I know every fur baby has a different schedule a different diet and some even need medication/vitamins with their meals. I love trying to teach dogs new tricks and work on their behavior. I will always provide a detailed summary of each day with pictures!!! Being as though I am a mother I do work from home during the week but I am able to take breaks and tend to your little one. Should you have any other questions or have considered moving forward I am only a Bark away! I work from home so I’m available for walks and potty breaks and your baby will never be left unattended. That means lots of playtime, training, and belly rubs! I currently live in a 3 bedroom Townhome! I am able to keep pups separated if need be. We have 2 dog parks in my complex for potty breaks and we love going to Fort Steilacoom Park as well as Chamber Bay for some extra fun ♥️

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland South
Sophia is the best walker we've ever had. She’s flexible on days when we have appointments and need to adjust plans. She's helpful when my mom wants to learn how to walk my very hyper, overpowering bulldog, who usually drags my mom during walks, but Sophia has helped prevent that. If you need a walker, she is the best you can find!
We needed a dog walker as my husband was recovering from foot surgery and I was leaving town for a few days. Xiaotong did a fantastic job with our pups. She sent lots of photos of their walks. They were thrilled to go with her each day. We will certainly call on her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakeland South on Rover is $26.64 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 11,754 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lakeland South. 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 South. 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 Lakeland South.

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 Lakeland South. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
