“Anna is super sweet and quickly replies to every message. I had some scheduling conflicts however, she was very accommodating and understanding. Long Beach was hit with flooding rain and she still managed to make it over and give my dog a long walk once the weather permitted! Highly recommend her”
“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!”
“Michelle is heaven-sent to us! She walks our dog, Cali, 3x a week and Cali always looks forward to his walk with her. During the past Christmas holiday, Cali stayed with her and she took care of him just like her own fur babies. Michelle is very reliable, trustworthy, and constantly updates us by sending pictures consistently, communicates clearly and kindly. If I could rate her more than 5 stars, I would! She gives us peace of mind, knowing Cali is in good hands. Thank you so much, Michelle!”
“Issis came in at the last minute and saved the day - she took fabulous care of Kiwi and was so communicative, definitely book with Issis for a 5 star experience. She’s punctual and very professional!!”

I will be willing to provide my business address and contact information to make you feel more comfortable, know I am trustworthy, and know where you can find me if any issues arise. As a past pet owner, I know having as much information on a stranger staying in your home would have made me feel more secure about hiring a pet sitter/pet walker. I am an experienced past pet owner of 25 years, I have had pets most of my life. I can provide walking, sitting, or pet care in your own home. I love all animals and love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can also perform baths, light grooming, walking, food prep, and administer medication.

About: I grew up with two dogs in my household and many more among the family. I dog sit my sisters dog frequently. I love animals and want to take the best care of them. I am waiting for the fall to begin classes so until then I do not have much filling my schedule. I babysit most mornings during the week but am available the rest of the day to include most weekends. Right now I live with my parents so I do not have a place to board pets, but you can trust me to house sit with your pet anytime. I will make sure to follow the rules and schedules your pet requires.

I also have an AKC-trained dog, so I’m familiar with reinforcing basic training, structure, and daily routines. I’ve pet sat for others in their homes and am experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions carefully. I’m also a pet photographer, which has made me especially patient and observant of animal behavior. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day for pet care. My schedule easily accommodates feedings, walks, medication, playtime, and check-ins without pets being left alone for long periods.

Anna is super sweet and quickly replies to every message. I had some scheduling conflicts however, she was very accommodating and understanding. Long Beach was hit with flooding rain and she still managed to make it over and give my dog a long walk once the weather permitted! Highly recommend her
We have scheduled Jack for dog sitting for an upcoming 10 day vacation. To help my dogs become familiar with Jack, we scheduled several dog walking visits beforehand. He is good natured with dogs and they warm up to him easily. I know we will have a very restful and relaxing vacation knowing our dogs will be in good hands with Jack. .
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 September 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 .

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.

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:
- 88% 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.
