About: Hello! I have owned all sorts of dogs from small bichons to big, old English sheep dogs. I have a fenced back yard, and also live close to a nice walking path. After losing my beloved Rosie after 15 1/2 years, I am ready for an occasional dog fix :) I am a retired teacher. When I am not traveling, I will have time to help with your dog-sitting needs. I look forward to meeting your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a home that we live primarily on one level. My home is pet-friendly and on a pretty quiet street.
“Megan was such an absolute blessing to our little family this week! She was punctual, a great communicator, and most importantly loved on our dog the way that we would! We will absolutely be hiring Megan in the future and feel so lucky to have her! As a mama to a shy dog my nerves were completely calmed ✨🐶🏡”
“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!”
“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 am a licensed vet tech of 10 years. I love animals and helping others with theirs! Being in vet med for 10 years a I have a lot of experience with patient care, handling and much more! I have 5 of my own animals at home. I can administer oral medications, grooming services- nail trims, anal gland expressions, routine ear cleanings. I love being around all different types of animals of all ages and sizes! I work full time at a vet hospital- am available on weekends for dog sitting, dog walking, drop in care, or other pet needs that you have! I have a fenced yard at home for my 3 dogs. The cats in the home are able to roam free but we have a gate to keep the dogs out from their food, and litter box.
About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for my own, families, and friends’ pets since I was about 10 years old. Having dogs in my life for so long has given me plenty of experience understanding their different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m comfortable around dogs of all breeds and sizes and am happy to work with pretty much any dog. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with dogs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m always willing to adapt to their specific needs and routines. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I balance pet care with my school and outside activity schedule, but I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to find times that fit everyone’s needs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am willing to make room in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and other responsibilities. I always plan ahead to make sure I can give each dog the time and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, attentive, and caring environment. I know every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to cater to any and all instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space and make sure your dog stays comfortable with its normal routine. I’ll always pay attention to their behavior, keep them secure during walks and outdoor activities, and provide updates so you know they’re doing well.
About: Many of you treat your pets like they were your children; which is why I am the perfect choice! I treat every dog as an individual, attending and caring for their own personal needs. In my free time I love being active and exploring new places. I especially enjoy rollerblading and biking around the nearby lakes during the summer. Being outside with your pup makes my day! I love being able to take trips to the local dog parks near me. I grew up with a Shitzu-Bichon named Bailey at home. She is my by far my favorite family member (shh). We currently have a two year-old and a seven month old. (I am unable to board your dog if they do not get along well with children) As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is flexible but can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. I’m home most of the day and can easily work pet care into my routine. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time all fit in around our family rhythm. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and always treat pets like family with patience, care, and attention to detail.
“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
“Mia is responsive, caring, and reliable. I have booked Mia for dog walks, and I fully trust her to care and love for my 2 dogs while I'm at work. She truly cares and loves dogs and I'm lucky to have snagged her for Roxy and Burton. I highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
About: If you hire me, upon request, I will do a free cartoon portrait of your pet(s)! I am an artist, but I am an animal lover before anything else and will make sure your baby is in good care. I have had dogs of my own my whole life, and have taken care of other’s as well with walking and overnight/check in sitting. I do have experience with taking care of cats and other animals, too! My whole life revolves around animals and pets, while I’m watching yours my number one goal will be to keep them safe, happy, cared for and comfortable! I’m currently pet sitting as my main source of income, so I’m more than ready to spend all my time taking care of your pet! I am available any day of the week at any time. I will adjust to imitate your care-style so you and your pets are comfortable. Otherwise, I am more than happy to do the basics, spend my time playing and taking care of the essentials (feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, etc) with your pet.
About: My name is Arianna! I have worked with dogs and cats at a dog daycare/ boarding place for 6 years and have been doing rover for 2 years.

About: I’ve taken care of our family dogs, 3 in the house! All larger: black labs, mixes! but I have also taken care of my grandmas small dogs as well! I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to offer plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention rather than having to rush in and out. I love having the flexibility to make pet care part of my daily routine and give each pet the time and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, to dog parks when appropriate, and outside regularly for potty breaks and fresh air. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like part of the family and give them plenty of attention and love. 🐾❤️

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lakeville is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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.

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 Lakeville. 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 Lakeville 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 Lakeville. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
