“Madison came last minute to walk Tap with very short notice. She is amazing! She kept me updated and took him on such a long walk. She is very compassionate and I will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Megan is the most caring and understanding dog walker I’ve ever had for my two knuckleheads! She had been so supportive to our family while we navigate getting a second dog ANF training him as a new pup. She takes care of my boys as if they were her own! I’m beyond grateful for her and not sure what we would do without her!”
“Illiana was very communicative and one of my dog’s favorite dog walkers. She is always on time, lets me know when she gets there and always send a post walk selfie to ease my mind. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Samantha took great care of Poppy and we really appreciate her coming over and walking poppy, letting her run around outside and giving her treats”
About: I've shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember, and for the past five years I've had the privilege of caring for the pets and homes of wonderful families in my community. Many of my clients have been with me since I first started pet sitting. I've celebrated the arrival of new puppies, cared for beloved companions through their senior years, and been honored to love a few sweet souls right up to the Rainbow Bridge. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and every one deserves patient, loving care. These days I also enjoy spending lots of time with my Golden Retriever grandpuppy, who keeps me smiling and reminds me how much joy dogs bring to our lives. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs. They often need a little extra patience, a slower pace, and plenty of gentle affection—and I'm happy to give it. When you're away, my goal is simple: to keep your pets comfortable, your home well cared for, and to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I am retired and am used to filling my days and nights with sitting. When I’m at your home, I’m there. Just like you, I will run to the grocery store or do some errands, but never leave for extended periods. I’ll stay at your place overnight, keeping your pet’s schedule just as it usually is. I’m an early riser and regularly get out with the sun. I’m always counting steps, so your robust walkers will get theirs too. I can accommodate slow walkers and doggies with a high sniff to walk ratio. I’m there for your pets. Plants need watering, I’m on it. Mail a garbage as well. Whatever you need, I am on it. Playing and snuggling are two things your pet will get lots of too.
“Lindsay is a fantastic and reliable dog walker!! She’s very accommodating of our requests and can adjust on the fly due to weather or unexpected changes in our schedules. Highly recommend her for any of the services she provides.”
“Lauren is the best! Clearly looks out for our dog, adjusting schedules with plenty of communication and care for the weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Thank you Lauren!”
“I highly recommend Hana for dog walking services! She was great with my pup on days where I needed some help breaking up the day with a walk while at work. Timely, professional and friendly. My pup Bonnie would have her any day.”
“Maxene walked my dog several days in a row for me while I've had a broken foot. She was on time, reliable, and did a great job with my greyhound. Would definitely book again!”
About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
“Lara was helpful last minute and very communicative. I will definitely continue to use her for dog walking and house sitting services in the future.”
About: Hi, my name’s Carrick! Giving our pets the affection and attention they need to live happy lives, though rewarding, is never easy. I’m here to lend a hand in relieving some of the stress in pet ownership! Whether pop-ins or overnight stays, short walks or extended exercise, I have the experience, empathy, and passion to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. No matter the animal or their needs, I’m here to lend a hand. I’ve owned pets my whole life and often taken care of others’ whose parents couldn’t do it alone. I currently own a cat, Marvin, and assist my girlfriend with dog fostering. We all work hard to take care of the things we love (especially when they love us back), but sometimes one needs a little help! I work from home on a flexible schedule, so my availability varies depending on work obligations. Regardless, I can typically do stop-ins and walks periodically during the day. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love, care, and consideration for their needs. And of course the needs of the parent!
About: Hi! My name is Rachel and I’ve lived in Denver for 6 years. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, hamsters, etc. (6+ animals in my childhood household at any given time). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and choose to surround myself around them whenever I can. I joined Rover so that I can fill my love tank for any and all types of animals. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I work mostly remote, so my schedule is very flexible and I’d be able to make almost anytime in the day work to care for your pet. I’ll love your pet just as you do and will ensure their safety as if they were my own. Your pets safety is my top priority.
About: I have 3 cats of my own, so I have plenty of experience caring and loving them. I have cat sit for neighbors, taking extra time to play and pet their cat while they are out of town. I have never personally owned a dog, but I do enjoy being around them. I will let my neighbor’s dog out while she is at work and I will play with him from time to time. I am ready and willing to learn what it takes to be an excellent pet sitter. I am currently between jobs so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I love spending time with animals so I will spend as much time as I can with your pet while you are away. I can do the basics of pet care including feeding your pet, changing water, picking up poop, scooping litter, walking dogs, and letting dogs out for fresh air. I am also willing to spend extra time with your pet to make sure they are well cared for.
“Vera has walked our pups Rolo and Ruby a few weeks now. She is communicating and lets us know how our babies are doing. She sends some pics too. The pups seem to like her too. Thank you”
“Kendra is very responsive and has been flexible as our schedule changes. She plays with our dog at the local dog park and walks him around the neighborhood - he loves it!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.
“My fur baby and I are thankful for Diego. He is dependable, responsible, and by fur babies support system when I cannot be there. I recommend him to anyone who with a fur baby too.”
About: I work from home, have no resident pets, accept only two clients at a time, and have senior-dog experience. I have experience with small to large-sized dogs, senior dogs, and even dogs with diapers. I recently had to put down my 17 1/2-year-old dachshund-Pomeranian mix. She brought so much joy to my life, and I'm looking forward to taking care of other fur babies instead of getting another pup so soon. I work from home with plenty of flexibility for short or long walks during the day. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, doggy daycare, and house-sitting. My calendar is always up to date. I live in a two-floor townhome with a balcony in LoHi. I'm happy to let your dog roam freely in my place and lie on the couch and bed with me. Crate-trained or pottypad-trained dogs are welcome. I'm also happy to put potty grass on my balcony so they can roam freely inside and out.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lakeside is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Madison was extremely helpful last minute in coming through for some walks for our pup. She was very receptive to working with him and being patient with his pulling, while providing pictures along the way which we loved getting. She even went the extra mile doing a meet and greet same day of our booking. Our dog was immediately drawn to her which was very telling of the great energy she brings. Will 100% be rebooking!
Emily is so kind and had great communication! Swayze got along really well with our dog Henry and they loved playing together. She sent great photos and updates, was so sweet to Henry, and I felt completely at ease using her to care for my dog! It feels so great to find someone I trust - will definitely book her again!!
Maria was wonderful and took such great care of our 55 lb senior Husky and 115 lb Great Dane during their daily walks while we were out of town! Both of our dogs needed daily exercise, and Maria took them on hour-long walks each day. She also sent detailed report cards and pictures from every walk, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It was especially reassuring knowing she could comfortably handle both our senior Husky and our very large Great Dane. We had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker!
Evelyn was absolutely wonderful! I got sick, & last minute reached out. She was able to accommodate my request (grateful for the WFH dog lovers!!) & took Astro on his “big walk.” Astro seemed perfectly happy & TIRED (yay!!) when he got home. Highly recommend Evelyn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lakeside is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 13,392 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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:
- 89% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
