“Sydney was great! I needed last minute help midway through the day and she came through for me (and Ruby). Took so much stress off my shoulders to have her come over and walk her while I was away.”
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was 12, when I started volunteering at my local nature center to care for the reptile habitats. Since that first job, I spent much of high school and college pet sitting and owning a variety of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, fish, and birds. I have experience caring for old and young animals, a variety of breeds, and administering medications. Whatever your needs may be, you deserve to have peace of mine while away from home. My pet sitting style is “there is no such thing as too much information!”. Before any visit, I will come meet you and your pet to help your pet recognize me, give us the opportunity to get to know each other, and discuss any details pertinent to your request. Throughout the visit, you can anticipate a plethora of pictures and videos of your pet, detailed updates on how your pet is doing, how their appetite is, how their bathroom habits are, and anything cute they've done in the stay! Reach out to me for your pet sitting needs, and enjoy security that your pet is in kind, competent, and caring hands. My schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a full-time job where I work from home, which allows me to be available anywhere I can bring my laptop and connect to wifi! Whether your needs are for day time visits, evening visits, overnight stays, or a combination of days and times, I am incredibly flexible to be where you need me when you need me. I will always treat your pets as though they are my own. I am committed to giving your pet the same standard of care that you would give them yourself. If there is a special request you have for your pet then by all means, ask! I understand firsthand how important those special routines are to our pets. If your dog needs someone to lay on the floor next to them while they eat, then I will make sure I am not wearing white so I can get down there.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for two of my own since I was little, so being around dogs feels completely natural to me. I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, basic handling, and reading dog behavior. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I’m excited to use my experience to give your dogs safe, reliable, and affectionate care. I’m a high school student but free all summer! I only work a few days every 2 weeks at a dog daycare and boarding facility so I have plenty of time to stop by and walk or check in on your pet! I have so much experience with all situations pets can get into I know first aid or even how to calm a pet down. I’m experienced in all sizes and personalities and can handle anything!
“We really like working with Kelley as our dog walker the last couple weeks. This was our first time using Rover and Kelley's come over almost daily to take our puppy on a walk while he's recovering from an illness. She's been great to work with! She's very communicative about their walks and i love that she takes pictures of him while they're out and about. I can tell she really has a passion for pets and truly cares deeply for them. Thank you Kelley!!”
“Michelle is great! She was very communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she was prepared to give my dog the best care. My dog and cat instantly clicked with her. Looking forward to more future bookings. :)”
About: As a dog owner of two and lifelong animal lover, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve had dogs since I was 12 and am familiar with everything from puppy energy to senior dog needs. I enjoy staying active outside and making sure pets get exercise, attention, and lots of affection — including great puppy cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and routine are always my priority. I work from home and can work from anywhere so I have almost unlimited flexibility and can’t wait to meet and get to know your oets! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets’ schedules as consistent as possible with regular feeding times, walks, play, and plenty of affection.

I treat every pet like one of my own and understand the trust it takes to have someone care for them in your home. I’m respectful of your space, communicative, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

My weekends normally consist of just relaxing at home so I thought why not look into helping people with their beloved pets in the evening and on Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately, with my two cats living in a townhome rental, I won’t be doing services in my home, however, if I dog sit in your home I will make sure that your pet gets all the correct meals needed, on time medication‘s if needed, and plenty of play times and cuddles with walks throughout the day or as requested!

About: Aside from taking care of my own dogs since I was little, I have been actively involved with animal rescue for many years and sat on the Board of Directors for Ruff Start Rescue for 5yrs Prior to starting our family. My husband and I have been fostering animals since 2010 ranging from dogs, cats, and a teacup pig. We welcome every furry friend into our home as if they were our own. We have also raised a young pup (Bruin) who love other animals. Our children are also growing up to be animals lovers themselves. Our home would provide someone who is home to keep your loved one company, a fenced in yard to run in back, and a comfy bed to sleep in. 🐾 I work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day.

My home is clean, pet-friendly, and supervised throughout the day. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate and can separate pets if they prefer their own space. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jaci has been wonderful for our puppy, Lilly! She met with us before starting to walk Lilly, so Lilly could get to know her. Jaci is also very patient and caring with Lilly. I love all the pictures and details about how Lilly did greeting her and walking with Jaci. I would highly recommend Jaci. We look forward to working with her often!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience, patience, compassion, and genuine love for dogs. I have cared for many different types, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and specialized care. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I take the time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I have also raised dogs of my own, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, routines, exercise, feeding, medications when needed, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention. I’m reliable, attentive, flexible, and communicative, and I treat every dog in my care like a member of my own family. My Daily Routine Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout much of the day, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks without them feeling like they are simply being left alone. I typically start the day with potty time, breakfast, and some attention or a walk before settling into work. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check on the dogs, let them outside for potty breaks using a leash or tie-out, other walk as needed to give them attention, and make sure they are comfortable. They are welcome to relax near me while I work, and I can adjust my routine based on each dog’s individual needs. I do occasionally need to be away from home for work or other commitments, but I’m very flexible and plan my schedule around the dogs in my care whenever possible. I’m comfortable adjusting feeding, potty breaks, walks, medications, rest time, or other routines to match what your dog is accustomed to. My goal is to provide a calm, loving home environment where your dog can feel comfortable, included, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m happy to work with their individual personality, age, energy level, and routine. I treat every dog in my home like one of my own, while following the routine and preferences their family has established for them with love, attention and affection.
About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.

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 Lakeville. 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 Lakeville.

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 Lakeville. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
