Molina was great. She agreed to meet the doggies before and they were so excited to see her. She was on time to walk them, played them him a little, and made sure they had water after.

I am so happy to have found Angelise!!!! She walked and spent time with my boxer over a three week period. She always arrived on time, sent me tons of pictures of him, and was great with her communication. I can tell she loves dogs and my pup took to her right away. If I ever need help with my dog in the future, I’m calling Angelise!

Friendly, incredibly communicative, and most importantly our pup loves walking with Mackenzie- when we say her name to him he wags his tail and goes to get his leash.

About: I am really looking forward to meeting many new pets! I grew up with cats, playing and snuggling with them everyday, with the addition of my dog about 6 years ago. It’s hard being apart from them for any length of time, so I enjoy creating new pet friendships! I’m excited to make bonds by treating your pet the same way I treat my own, with love and care. I also have experience in giving medicine to cats, such as administering shots or medicine with a syringe orally. FALL COLLEGE SCHEDULE (please check before booking!): These are the times I am unavailable due to having class. Mondays: 4pm-7pm Tuesdays: 9:35am-12:15pm Wednesdays: 4pm-7pm Thursdays: 9:35am-12:15pm Fridays: 11:15am-1:25pm Weekends typically remain available unless noted otherwise on my calendar. I appreciate any notice of your pets likes and dislikes! Though I understand they can be random at times, I want to make sure there’s a mutual trust between your pet and I. I have no problem following directions, whether it’s from you or the pet!

About: I grew up with many pets and learned how to care for them exceptionally well. I understand giving them boundaries and having fun playing with them are both keys to great care. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs as I am a very active person who loves exploring as much as your dog does! When I started pet sitting about 15 years ago I found I had a gift for helping dogs and cats who have a hard time adjusting when their owners are away. I also specialize in senior care as I’m willing to do anything needed to help your dog or cat be comfortable, eat well, and feel loved. I interact with each one as the unique individual they are. Let me know all about your pet’s personality and special needs so I can be the closest thing to having you at home as possible. I’m currently in school a couple days a week and have flexible work which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups during the week and on weekends. I only care for pets at your home. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule to be there when needed. I can also do overnight house and pet sitting if needed.

Kevin was an amazing dog walker! He was super responsive and friendly from the start, and it was clear he genuinely cared about my dog, Kit. He went above and beyond by giving her a long walk so she could really burn off her energy. When I got home, she was calm, happy, and relaxed—which says everything. I’d definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!

About: I can understand the sometimes uneasy feeling of leaving your four legged family member with someone else. That’s where I come in! I will be your pet’s new best friend and take care of them with the love and care that I would for my own - making sure runners don’t escape, that your daschund is picked up mindfully of their back, your maltipoo’s coat is maintained, your anxious dog is approached with gentleness and patience. No pet care is one-size-fits all and I will customize your pet’s experience to their individualized needs and desires. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting both large and small dogs. Behavioral correction is the priority and I may be a small person, but if your dog pulls, I can lift 145+ lbs. I have experience from training puppies all the way up to senior dog care. I can care for senior dogs and accommodate to any mobility issues as well! I care for the safety and emotional wellbeing of all animals and provide compassionate care. I’m excited to meet my new friend! Let me know if there any questions or concerns I can address and we can work on a game plan for your little one. Depending on the day I may be available throughout the morning/afternoon/evening. Generally house sitting is available every day. Weekend availability varies but I can be accommodating based on scheduling requirements. I offer care in the client’s home only as of right now, and can provide excursions for extra enrichment as needed. I can help with exercising active dogs in an effective manner this way.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lakeside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakeside on Rover is $19.98 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 9,303 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lakeside. 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 Lakeside. 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 Lakeside.

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 Lakeside. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
