About: Hi! I am Shawna. I’m a five star Rover sitter with 32 verified reviews, now offering drop in visits and dog walking. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I grew up with cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. While I no longer provide boarding or doggy daycare in my home, I’d love to help make your day a little easier by caring for your pet in the place they’re most comfortable-their own home. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, fresh food, and water, or just someone to throw a ball and give them some attention, I’m happy to help. For cats, I’m just as happy to refresh litter boxes, feed them, play with them, or simply sit with them if they’re the quiet type who enjoys company. As a stay-at-home mom, reliability and kindness are important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and to feel confident knowing they were well cared for while you were away. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, love, and respect and I’ll send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. (My favorite part about being a Rover sitter!) I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Please message me with any questions you may have. I’m currently at home with my 2 kiddos and since it is summertime my availability is pretty open! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with animals throughout the week. I’m happy to provide dependable loving care while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, I focus on keeping the routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, litter, box, care, playtime, and any special needs or medications. During each visit, I’ll also check that everything is in good order in your home and send updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel cared for, calm, and loved until you return.
About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I work as a server at a bowling alley. My hours are Thursday 5-10 am. Friday/saturday 5-12 am. Sunday 5-10 am While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available
“Mr. Scott is wonderful with our fur baby, Jojo. Jojo always looks forward to his evening walks and is already waiting at the door when Mr.Scott arrives. It’s clear how much he cares, and we appreciate the attention and kindness he shows every time. We’re grateful to have someone so reliable and caring looking after Jojo.”
“Aja was great! I injured my foot and needed someone last minute to walk our dogs. She was quick to reply, prompt, friendly and my dogs took to her quickly! I also do River sitting and I got nothing but good vibes from her :) Thanks again Aja!”
About: I have experience with all types of animals from small to large! I don’t remember a time in my life where we did not own and care for animals! I have cared for horses, goats, chickens, rodents, cats, and dogs. I have experience with animals with specials needs as I have a dog that has seizures, a diabetic cat, and a rescue who is very timid with humans; so I have a lot of understanding and patience with all animals. I can administer insulin and give oral medication to both dogs and cats if required. I am open to meeting you and your pet ahead of any care so that you can meet me and feel comfortable with me watching your beloved pets! Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I currently work part time on the week days usually only 2-3 days a week and only between the hours of 8-5. My days rotate every other week In your home I can do any routine with your pet that you normally do. Scheduling feeding times, potty breaks, play time in the yard, medications, or anything else they may require. In my home I do have two dogs who love every dog they meet, and a cat who keeps to himself most of the time but does fine with other pets. They have all been around plenty of other animals. We do have a very well fenced back yard. Unfortunately at the moment I will probably not be taking in our home care as we our doing renovations so our house is a bit of a mess for guests.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities through both professional grooming and hands on pet care. As the owner of a family oriented grooming business, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-pet households, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In our home, pets are treated like family, with patience, attention, and lots of affection. Pet care is part of my everyday routine through owning and operating The Lux Dog Grooming. Because I work with animals daily, your pet will receive consistent attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection throughout the day. We keep a smaller number of pets at a time to provide a calm, personalized, family-style environment with no kennels or overcrowding so every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for! At the salon during the day with free back area roaming and in our home at night, sleeping on beds, sofas or their own dog bed! Family style environment with no kennels or overcrowding. Dogs are supervised closely and treated like part of the family while they are in our care. I have experience handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and anxiety needs, and I always take introductions slowly to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with pictures and communication so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for

About: I have taken care of multitude of animals since I was 7. I have a true passion for any and all animals. Ever since I can remember I’ve had snakes, horses, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and hedgehogs. I’ve house sitted, I’ve walked animals, fed animals, provided medicine and other types of medical care to animals. I’m truly available for anything and will help when needed! I’m currently working part time. My schedule varies but usually I’m schedule 7am -3 on Monday, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I also have college classes on Tuesday’s and Thursdays from 10am -2:15pm. I can still provide care on those days as long as we can work around my schedule! In my home, I feed my dogs, walk my dogs, play with them, I also feed and play with my cats, I have to clean out my snake enclosures, I feed the chickens, and I also feed and play around with our bunny. I had one client for a while and I used to stay at their house while also going to work, but I would take care of their older dog who struggled with dementia and ear problems. I would give him medicated baths and rub ear drops in his ear to make sure they were clean. I also would do small chores around their house or any chores they asked me to do. I would spend the night until they came home! I have a lot of animals but I currently have none living with me since I’ve moved for college, except for one cat but it’s my roommates.
“Excellent service!! I was recommended by my friend and this was my first time using rover. Great communication, she did everything that I asked for (even though I asked a lot) She came to the house to meet my dog before the appointment which went smooth. She took 15 pictures, her rover card was a whole book! I could literally imagine exactly what she did with my dog. I would definitely love her to take care of my dog again.”
About: I have been a volunteer at my county animal shelter for more than 12 years. I specialize in socializing and earning the trust of scared dogs. I'm comfortable with all breeds. I am also an active kitten and mom/kitten foster for the shelter. I assist medical staff in surgery prep and recovery. I am able to administer medications including insulin for diabetic animals. I am retired from a long career in health insurance and my 2nd career as a REALTOR. I have full time availability to care for animals. I have a fenced yard. I have 3 dog friendly dogs and 5 cats. Short term boarders can be housed in a bedroom with full comforts and will be integrated as everyone is comfortable. Safety is paramount and not all animals will always appreciate each other so case by case analysis is required.
“You know someone is a true dog person when your pets fall in love at first sight. In less than a minute my pets were enjoying belly rubs and pets in Kaitlyn’s lap. I should mention, my dogs are not socialized well and can tend to be fearful of new people (to the point of aggression). Because of this, I have to be extremely picky in my dog walkers. I was so thrilled to see them warm up to Kaitlyn so quickly. We were in a bind and she was not only responsive and available to be booked immediately, but my dogs think they have found a new best friend! Thank you Kaitlyn for taking such good care of Leo and Luna. I will definitely be booking with you again!”
About: Hi! My name is Kyndle and I have 11 years experience in dog walking, and pet sitting. I used to be a veterinary technician and animals have always been a huge passion of mine. Absolutely nothing in the world makes me happier than bringing animals joy. I have three pups of my own and always treat your loved ones like my own. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions! I’d love to build a client basis and do reoccurring services if possible. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! I work full time as a behavior therapist with a maximum schedule of 08:30-17:30. I am happy to modify that with enough notice! We can always work something out! I love when I can meet with my clients owner before being left alone. This gives me the ability to understand and exceed all expectations.
About: Hi there, my name is Hannah! I love animals and helping others so it only made sense to join Rover as a sitter. I work fully remote which is the ideal scenario because I get to stay home with my 2 dogs and senior cat. I found my cat, JD, as a stray kitten on a golf course back in October of 2010. At the time, I was volunteering at the local animal shelter to get my fix of animals before the cat distribution gods picked me. I got Packer, my 3 year old female designer mutt (sheepadoodle) as a puppy while living in Denver, CO. My boyfriend has a 6 year old male lab mix, named Maverick that he rescued as a puppy. We have a house with a beautiful fenced in backyard for the pups. Our dogs love people and other dogs. They love to play, cuddle and sleep My cat is a grumpy old man. He is used to dogs but doesn’t care for them and keeps his distance. I’m an anxious pet mom and my animals are my children. My goal is to make every fur parent feel content while their dogs are in my care because I know what it’s like when roles are reversed. I work remotely and my schedule is flexible when planned in advance. I have plenty of time to fit pet care needs into my routine. I have a very sturdy fenced in backyard that is well maintained for all the pups to frolic safely while scrolling Twitter aka sniffing around.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakeside on Rover is $19.26 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 2,370 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
