“Grace has been so kind and accommodating with our little Luna! Even on days when our 11-year-old pup isn’t quite up for a walk, Grace still takes the time to bring her outside to a shady spot in the grass so she can enjoy some fresh air and the beautiful weather. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention she gives Luna”
“Joel is amazing with our big lab! He takes care to communicate and post photos of their adventures. I know Gus loves his time outside with this buddy! I'd highly recommend Joel's services. 🐾”
“Erik is wonderful. Always communicates and is on time. The rover cards are funny and entertaining to read. Drogo always is in good spirits when I return home from work thanks to Erik.”
“My 16 year old dog had his first walk with Lisa today and I was happy to come home to a happy dog and clean house... if you know what I mean. Lisa went the extra mile taking our last minute request and came out to meet with us and see our neighborhood the evening before. Mason was resting peacefully when I got home. She is pleasant, punctual, and very gentle with my old old. I'm relaxed knowing he is in good hands for his daily break.”
“Iliana is so great with my pup! She is always on time, sends me photos and trustworthy in my home. My pups is timid at first but after a few weeks being walked by Iliana I can see how comfortable she has gotten with her by the look on her face in each photo!”
About: Hello! My name is Jackie and I've been a dog mom for over 20 years. My first pup was a Golden Retriever named Sam and my second is an Aussie named Norman. Long before Rover I would often house/pet sit for friends. I have experience with all ages of dogs. I cared for my good ole boy Sam from puppyhood until he was almost 15. On the other hand, Aussie Norman is high-functioning and anxious dog. He gets along well with other pups and loves playing. I work from home and am able to let dogs out as often as necessary, plus I have a doggie door. We live in a great neighborhood where it is easy to go out for walks. My house has a doggie dog that fits pups up to 80 lbs! It gives them great freedom to move in and out for bathroom breaks as they wish. Although the house is small, it has a large backyard. Norman is a friendly Aussie who loves other dogs, big and small, and would love a play friend. Pups can sit on the couch, just not the beds.
“Taylor was so sweet, came and met odie beforehand to make sure he was comfortable, and immediately made us feel at ease taking care of Odie. Will absolutely be using Taylor again!”
“Five huge stars to Linda for taking superb care of our girls! The quality and attention to detail paid by Linda makes us so happy (especially the dogs)! Both dogs are much happier once we return from our day from their time spent with Linda. I highly recommend Linda for any/all of your canine needs!”
About: Hi, I’m Allison—your pet’s go-to gal! 🐾 My love for animals started early with my two childhood pets: Jack, my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Lady, my orange cat who had plenty of personality and a special place in my heart. They taught me just how much joy, comfort, and companionship pets bring to our lives. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have always been the person friends and family call when they need someone reliable to care for their furry family members. More recently, I’ve been watching my friend’s Portuguese Water Dog and have officially become the go-to gal for all of my friends’ pet-sitting needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My boyfriend and I would love a dog of our own someday, but because he currently works out of town, we’re waiting until his schedule changes. Until then, we’d love the chance to pour all that love and attention into caring for yours! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, and my job is incredibly flexible, which makes pet care a perfect fit for my schedule. Because I’m home during the day, I can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles instead of pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pets and adjust my schedule as needed to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions, because I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I'm a true pet-lover, through and through. I grew up helping my grandmother foster and raise kittens as well as adult cats and dogs (particularly ones with special needs). My husband and I have our own sweet dog, Honey, who is and forever will be our 'first-born child' ha! I love to care for and interact with others' pets and hope to one day have my own farm's worth of animal babies. I've had experience with caring for puppies, kittens, and dogs with disabilities or special needs. I love to go on long walks or hikes in the morning and evening with our own dog and my schedule is very flexible, so I can check on your animals and/or walk them whenever you need me to! Currently I am home everyday and am available for walks or check-in's any weekday, barring any previous commitments (which I will communicate with you well in-advance). I have a car and am able to travel to pet owners' homes to hang out and/or walk your pets within a set schedule. I follow directions to a tee, and will always be respectful when arriving/leaving and inside of your home. I am happy to crate your pet(s) before leaving and happy to stay longer if needed.
About: I was the primary caregiver to my childhood dog (who I considered my best friend) growing up from age 5 to age 20. I've been the primary babysitter including overnight stays for my sister's German shepherd since he was a puppy until now well into adulthood. My husband is allergic so I'm not able to own my own animals despite how much I LOVE them, so I'm looking to get my animal fix by helping other people take care of their animals during the day when they're busy and at work 🥰 I've found myself with a lot of free time during weekdays and would love to use that time to help people take care of their pets and take them on walks, while also getting more quality time myself with cute animals!! I am a responsible and experienced dog walker who would be happy to walk your dogs around their own neighborhood where they're comfortable, or bring them somewhere new near my dog friendly neighborhood in olde town Arvada!
“Maxene has been amazing! She sent me photos and progress throughout each day that she was with our pups. She was incredibly responsive and I felt my two dogs were in safe and capable hands! I highly recommend her and I hope to use her again! Thanks Maxene!!!!”
“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”
“Juliana is great with our dog. She communicates timely and is punctual. She send photos and always lets us know how Zappa is doing. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Jack – Your Pet’s New Friend! I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. These days, I have my two cats, Meryl and Gilbert, and my golden retriever named Finley. I’ve helped friends and neighbors with their pets for years: walking, feeding, house-sitting, and giving meds when needed. I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations many times, so I’m comfortable with animals that need a little extra patience or have unique needs. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe, happy, and at ease. If I’m looking after your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own. What You Can Expect When I Care for Your Pet: • Loving, Personalized Care: I get that every pet is special, and I take the time to get to know their unique personality, whether they need extra playtime, a gentle approach, or simply some good pats and scratches. • Daily Routine & Comfort: I understand the importance of routine for pets. I’ll stick to their schedule, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. • All-Inclusive Attention: From walks, feeding, and fresh water to bathroom breaks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to meet all their needs. • Special Care for Nervous or Shy Pets: I’m patient and experienced with pets who need time to warm up. I’ll create a calm, safe space where they can feel comfortable. • A Pet Parent Myself: I start every day caring for my own two cats and dog so I understand the little things that make a big difference in keeping pets happy and healthy. Before We Get Started, I’d Love to Know: 1. Dietary Needs: Does your pet have any specific food preferences, allergies, or a set feeding schedule? 2. Behavioral Traits: Is your pet shy, playful, energetic, or prone to separation anxiety? Any quirks around other animals? I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s chat and see how I can help! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! – Jack As a devoted pet parent to two cats and a dog and someone who works mostly from home, pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, whether it’s through regular feeding, going on walks, playtime, or offering comfort and companionship. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care to others’ pets as I do my own. Love, patience, and compassion are key when caring for pets, especially those who may be a little shy at first. I focus on making sure they feel safe and comfortable, with plenty of attention to their needs—whether that’s fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, or just a bit of playtime. I’m attuned to each pet’s individual personality and always prioritize their well-being to provide the best possible care.

Emily is a constant joy to work with! She takes such good care of Tucker on his walks. She is always communicative, which is a must! Plus that lets me know that she values our time. She also gives very thorough report cards. You cannot go wrong having her walk/care for your fur baby!
Michaelah is wonderful. I’ve been using her as a sitter and walker for years and she’s always been professional, trustworthy, reliable and treated my dog like family. My dog is always thrilled to see her and super calm and happy after her visits. I can’t recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakeside on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,493 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.

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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 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.
