“I will attempt to be as concise as possible, but the outstanding job Lindsay has done, is deserving of nothing but a gleaming, thorough, and specific review! I stumbled across Lindsay by chance, as I had been in the market for a dedicated dog walker for my fur baby for over a year. To be clear, my fur baby is a part of the foundation of my life, she is almost 11 yrs old, and I’ve raised her since she was 6 months. Needless to say, I was looking for nothing but the best for her. Lindsay was extremely responsive when I contacted her, and we both agreed to meet in person before either of us decided to commit. I met Lindsay on the weekend with the fur baby, and we went for a walk to see how they would fair together. Lindsay was nice enough to bring her 2, very responsible, children for the meet and greet, which was a blessing for my fur baby to get some young blood back into her life. After our meet and greet, I knew I had found the right family to watch my baby. The love and energy that just radiates off of Lindsay and her children are a breath of fresh air. You can feel the dedication and passion they have for pets. After setting the schedule, Lindsay was extremely responsive to when she was swinging by to grab the pup, the activities they were doing, and always sends me pictures or videos. The pup even caught a fish (very briefly that is ha), during an excursion. I can always tell the fur baby is having a great time and now I don’t need to be stressed about her getting exercise or social time. If you are serious about the mental and physical health of your fur baby, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, better yet, IMPLORE you to consider Lindsay. I have always had dog walkers over the past 10 years, but finding the perfect fit can be difficult. I have no doubt you will impressed with the care and attention Lindsay will give to your beloved pets! BOOK HER NOW, before word gets out, and she gets a full schedule! Dylan”
“Caitlyn did an amazing job walking and sitting with Beckett my 1 1/2 year old poodle when I went and got my haircut. What made it especially challenging there was a thunderstorm overhead when I was gone. She was awesome and sending me pictures and keeping me updated. They did the walk and then when the thunderstorm hit, they were on the porch. I would definitely recommend Caitlyn in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Lakeside. 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 Lakeside 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 sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
