About: Hi! My name is Lauren, As the Pet Whisperer I would be thrilled to provide the Ultimate TLC for your fur baby :) ** My signature 5-star service on Rover is House Sitting ** since 2018 as I have resided in Los Angeles/OC, New York City, and Bay Area. I have also provided 100+ walks and drop-in visits on Wag and am available for those services on Rover as well. What You Can Expect: (T) Tender / Trustworthy: Above all, I believe Communication is Key for all of my pet family clients, and I make sure you are kept up to date with messages and pictures as often as requested while being responsive to any questions or concerns you may have - from prior to booking and throughout the stay. (L) Loving / Listener: I am adaptive to your pet's personality and temperament, attentive to whatever their heart desires (to an extent :P) while maintaining boundaries, rules, and expectations per your instructions on their routine, diet, training, and any special needs as their paw parent. (C) Care / Consistency: I have had the pleasure of working with over 80 satisfied clients (18 repeat clients) for pet care, and I provide only the utmost quality of services. My repeat fur families become very much like my own fur fam, and I would be honored to join yours :) Background: Since the early days of caring for my beloved family pupper of 9 years Maltipoo Andy (may He Rest in Peace), caring for dogs and cats alike as a grad student on Wag and Rover since 2018, and now being the proud auntie of four fur nieces + nephew (Ragdoll kween Kanani, Russian Blue muffin Hanya plus bb Tabbies Annie and Taruken - all rescues now in their furever homes) - I treat my clients' pets with the same love, care, and respect as if they were my own while remaining mindful of any specific needs and taking the time to learn about their unique personalities. Summary: Essentially, I am open to accommodating as much as able, as I understand every family's situation and needs are different. Most of all, it is my top priority that you feel assured about the care your fur baby is going to receive, especially in the comfort of your/their own home. That is my Pet Whisperer Promise to you, and please do let me know if you still have any questions. I look forward to connecting with you and your fur family further - ready to provide them all the TLC they deserve <3 Scheduling: I am available for weekday, weekend, and extended stays. Please feel free to discuss additional times with me, and I can confirm my availability. I ensure that attention and care is provided to my clients' pets by giving them space to first become familiar with me in their home and allowing them to freely approach me when comfortable - Meet and Greets are very helpful for this in addition to reviewing their routine, location of supplies, house rules/keeping etc. For house sittings in particular, I maintain cleanliness and respect my clients' homes (e.g. 5-star Airbnb guest), leaving them exactly how I entered while being attentive to any household maintenance needs (with additional surcharges, ranging per level of need e.g. cleaning, mail/packages, plant care).
“The pups had a great time! I could tell from the look on their faces on the adorable pics sent to me while I was away. No complaints and I have plans to request Brionna again in the future!”
“Lindsay is a solid and reliable pet sitter. She has house sat and walked my dogs for me several times, and I could rest easy knowing that my house and pets were in good hands.”
“Marby is the best! Couldn’t meet with her the first time, my dog was a little apprehensive and she stayed extra time to allow her to warm up. The next day she came back and they were fast friends! She is patient and goes above and beyond!”
“Adriana is the best! Our golden Blu is excited to see her every week to the point of waiting for her at the front door. You can tell she really cares about the family members she takes care of.”
About: I have been adopting cats and dogs and enjoy taking care of them since I was in college. And I recently began dog sitting for my neighbor's dog and realized how much I enjoy it. It's such a pleasure taking care of pups! I work from home so your pup will be with me playing outside or cuddling indoors. **Certified in Dog & Cat First Aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and i would be available to attend to your pet during the day as well as some evenings and overnight . I have a fenced backyard and enough room for your pup to play and run around and I also have a friendly small dog named Fluffy who is 5 yrs old.
About: Your doggie will receive extra care from me as I am a stay at home mom focused solely on pet sitting. We are an animal loving household in suburban Lakewood, CA with a large fenced backyard. We have a doggie door on the back door for our pups to go in and out as they please to play, run, or sunbathe (while I am home of course). I have the help of my awesome husband Ryan and our kids aged 10, 5 and 2. They know all about how to treat pets as they have grown up with our dogs. Your pup is welcome to snuggle with us on the couch and beds wherever they are most comfortable. I have 32 years of experience taking care of pets and have a love and passion for animals. I have very much enjoyed pet sitting with Rover since joining in 2019. I have doggie beds, bowls, toys, etc. here but you are welcome to bring any items your pet may like to have during their stay. I am usually available and always flexible with scheduling a meet n greet as well as drop off and pick up times to fit your busy schedule. I know how important finding a trusted and knowledgeable caretaker is for the furry member of your family! You can rest easy knowing they are in my care with regular updates and pictures.

About: I’ve been doing pet sitting for over 3 years & have experience in all types of animals & am familiar with giving medication if needed. My main goal is to always ensure that your pet is cared for 100% and that you come back to a clean environment. Will also bring in/take out trash, water plants & bring in mail. I currently work part time so this leaves me with time to spend caring for animals. I am currently available for morning visits from 8am -10am Afternoons 12-3pm Pm 4-7pm Can also do overnight visits on weekends if needed. When I am caring for an animal at a clinics home I always make sure to ask for any information or their routine with their pup. Not only to ensure that I am doing everything right & that needs to be done for your pup but to keep your pup in their routine. This will allow me to get familiar with the feeding, walking, etc. Safety of your pup and your home is my top priority & I ensure this by always making sure to close all doors/windows in your home & set alarm if needed
About: I’ve raised and taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My family and I have always had rescue dogs and continue to rescue. I rescued my most recent pup since she was less than a year old. I truly have a love for dogs and treat each one I come across as my own. I’m very comfortable with small to mid size dogs. Open to large dogs as well. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon :) I have a flexible schedule. During the weekday I’m available usually afternoon and evenings and on the weekends I’m available anytime. Mornings, and afternoons preferred. Thank you. Currently unable to care for pets in my house but if at client’s residence it depends on the space. Comfortable with leash or leash less environment for the dogs. Depends on client’s preference.
About: I grew up and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve been cat sitting for friends for years. I love all animals but have the most experience with cats and dogs. I have open availability and here to help. I have open availability at the moment. So even if it’s last minute I can help. I am reliable and as long as I’m not booked up I’m willing to help. I will care for the pets in their client’s home. I think it’s best for the pet to stay in their environment and to have familiarity. Especially when first being introduced to someone new.
About: Cats and large dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child and have added small dogs to my life the last decade. I am adept at interacting and caring for all size pets. I love animals and will cherish your furry family members. I am a full-time high school teacher but am free during summer months and would love to spend my spare time with animals. Love to take dogs on walks, play with them and give cuddle time to them as well as kitties. I am available almost every day from 9am to 9pm beginning June 23-August 18. I can come to your home to feed, walk, play and cuddle your furry family members. I have three pets myself so I will not be able to bring them to my home nor pet sit at your home.
“Angela was amazing with my boy Storm while we were on vacation!! She was communicative, attentive, and showed she really cared about my dog. She constantly sent pictures and I can see how happy he was in all of them! Contingent she’s available, I will definitely be asking for her help again the next time we’re out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals since I was 10 years old many of my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their furry friends I’m currently working part time but can fit your best friend in for walks and cuddles and play time I’m a early morning person and can help you with your pet I have a huge condo plenty of room for your pet to roam around lots of blankets and beds and toys for them to play with and live close to a cool park
“Brittany has a very warm, welcoming energy that immediately hooked Stanley at our meet and greet - they were fast friends! We really appreciated her communication and professionalism - and already have her lined up for future walks! Highly recommend Brittany”
About: Hi, my name is Eli and I have been in the veterinary field for about 5 years now. I did start my journey as a kennel attendant slowly moving my way up to becoming a certified veterinary assistant. Since then I have gained so much knowledge and experience, my passion for helping animals has only grown more. My availability will be open anytime from Thursday night to Sunday night. I can walk or visit your babies from Monday-Wednesday if needed after 6pm! With my own dog since he is reactive to other dogs I usually keep him home and give him enrichment toys, the days I do take him out for walks we go to the near by park or a 40 minute walk. Sometimes I end up just hanging out with my dog at home since he likes to sleep, so if you just need someone to hang out with your older pets I am good for that too!!
“Rashmi is the absolute best with our reactive border collie. She asks all the right questions to get to know him and I absolutely trust that she has his best interests at heart. Very communicative and easy to work with - we’ll absolutely continue booking her.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lakewood is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Amie walks my reactive dog Sunny weekly and working with her has been a wonderful experience from the beginning. She’s a very responsive communicator, she’s very good with dogs and has helped me with extra walks as my schedule requires. I greatly appreciate her communication with me about my dogs behavior - I highly recommend Amie!
Kristina has been our dog walker for Nori over the past few months. She absolutely loves on Nori and Nori loves her right back. Kristina is very communicative of her schedule and always punctual to the set walks. She’s also good about telling us if something is wrong with Nori or notices anything off. We’re so lucky to have had Kristina’s service!
I had a fantastic experience with Anika as Kora’s dog walker. Anika was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Before booking, I met Anika and informed her that Kora was not spayed and was currently in heat. Anika was very mindful of this, and she took great care of Kora, ensuring her safety and well-being, even when a stray dog approached when walking Kora around my neighborhood. It’s clear that Anika genuinely cares about the dogs she walks, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Anika, for your outstanding service!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakewood on Rover is $21.4 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 21,736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lakewood. 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 Lakewood. 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 Lakewood.
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 Lakewood. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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.
