About: I’ve owned all sorts of pets since I was young. Dogs of any and all sizes are welcome here, I love all breeds. I currently have pit bulls, a Great Dane and a bernedoodle. Also comfortable with cats, ferrets, chinchillas and even hedgehogs! I currently have open availability, any time is always great with me. I’m available days, nights and weekends. I also don’t require much advance notice. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I try to stick to their normal routine as far as feeding and walking, no need to stress out the pets!
About: I’m currently in school full time for my MSW and have started pet sitting to help! I’ve taken care of plenty of pets during my active duty time. The military causes a lot of last minute changes that require trust worthy people to step in and support. I understand the need to leave our furry friends with a trusted person, let me be that for you! :) Im a full time Grad School student. Most of the time I will be home with your pets or working out. Either way, we love to stay active here! I have a fenced yard, and love going on walks. I live in a very animal friendly neighborhood that makes a perfect home for pets.
“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’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: My mom was a pet sitter when I was younger and I loved going with her to check on the animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own that I adore:) I also watch my close friends dogs and cats anytime she is out of town, her pets love me and she would highly recommend me. I am currently a stay at home mom available 7 days a week! The most ideal times for me would be after 11am, though I can make earlier times work tho if needed! I would have my baby with me when caring for your pets. I have a fenced in yard! I take my dog on walks occasionally during the week! If crating is needed I can accommodate to that as well.
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
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 am currently not working as of this moment. So I am available and free for your babies any time! I look forward to meeting you guys! 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
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 absolutely adore every breed and personality! I have a special place in my heart for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boston Terriers. With my veterinary technician background, I’m very familiar with their unique needs, including breathing concerns, heat sensitivity, skin care, and medication management. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra TLC, or has medical needs requiring medications or special monitoring, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a wife, proud mama to my baby girl, and pet mom to 10 cats and 5 dogs, caring for others is simply who I am. My days are full, but they revolve around the things I love most—family and animals. Pet sitting isn’t just a side job for me; it’s an extension of my everyday life. With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, medications, special needs, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Caring for multiple pets every day has taught me how to stay organized, dependable, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and routine. When you trust me with your pets, you’re trusting someone who truly understands that they are family. I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, and I’ll care for your furry family with the same love, patience, and dedication that I give my own every single day. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced-in backyard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and fresh air in a secure environment. My home is truly animal-friendly. My cats and dogs are all used to being around other animals and have friendly personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I am fully able to separate my animals from visiting pets when needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
“Danielle is very conscientious and took very good care of my quirky pooch, including taking pictures of her plopped on the ground and refusing to get up. She did a good job of coaxing her home. My dog really likes her.”

About: From the early age of 6, I have had 4 special pups. A husky, a pit bull, a razor back American bully, and 1 shits poo. My oldest was the Dude, a full bred pit bull who came with many allergies. I’ve had to administer many types of medications to the poor guy-oral and ear creams. Thankfully, my youngest, Titan, has not had too many health issues. I exercise him a lot and it’s kept him in really good shape. My family and I learned from the Dude that fresh made food makes a significant difference in our dogs health. So every night, I make Titan fresh food. Just graduating from high school has given me lots of free time. I can care for as many pets as all I do is workout, study languages, and read books. At my clients home, I spend my whole time with their dogs. I take them on frequent walks—if they are up to it we go on runs. Playtime is all the time. I want to keep the dog as happy as possible with belly rubs, outside playtime, and treats!
“Suzanne did a fantastic job!!! She took great care of our Lola and kept us updated on her walks by sending us photos and a map that showed where they walked. We are so glad we found her on Rover and will definitely use her again the next time when we go on vacation.”
About: I'm a very active person and love to walk my dog, & cannot wait to meet your furry friend :) I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 10. I frequently dogsit overnight and have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have trained my dog since he was a small puppy. I'm a reliable sitter & can be counted on to take care of your dogs & cats!! I have open availability, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays ! I would be honored to spend time with your furry friends and care for them! I make sure to always maintain a safe environment for the dogs, & am a level-headed dog walker who knows what to do in case of emergency :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakeside on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
