This was our first experience we had working with a dog walker . Rachel absolutely loves dogs. She happily met with us a couple of times for a meet and greet. Once at her house and once at ours. We loved that she sent pictures, showed us the walking route, and gave us a doggie report after each walk. The days she was scheduled to walk were hot and her flexibility to come earlier than planned was highly appreciated. We will certainly use Rachel again.

About: I have been pet owners for years & there’s nothing I love more than spending time with animals. I love to take walks to the dog park & have a good game of fetch. I also take pictures of pets that I taken care of before so let me know if that’s something you would like. I currently work from home so I spend all day with my pets. My job lets me be able to still take my dog on multiple walks a day, have play time, go to the park & more. The play area is fenced in, I can easily crate your dog if needed. In my home I can provide everything your pet needs like if it was their own home and vice versa.

I had such a great experience! One of my dogs is usually very shy around new people, but she was so gentle and patient with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker, and I plan on reaching out again if I need help in the future!

Lincoln Heights, Charlotte, NC, 28216

About: My experience is marked by personal and professional work with animals. I was the team lead overseeing operations at a dog care facility for two and a half years, where I worked firsthand with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperments in group play, one on one enrichment, and individual training sessions. I specialize in caring for reactive and behaviorally challenged dogs, particularly rescues. I am capable of administering medication in any oral fashion including gentle pilling, as well as supportive training, senior care, and providing baths (including curly fur types) and nail trims. I have a varied job schedule that provides sporadic extended free time, especially during the summer. I accept pet care clients based on my availability, so I am available for week-of bookings and advanced bookings. When visiting pets, I recognize that I am in their home and act accordingly. Prior to a visit, I make every effort to understand your pet's daily routine so that I can provide a stable, familiar routine while visiting. Additionally, I make bonding a top priority, and take time to get to know each pet I work with so that I can provide individualized care and work to become a trusted person on their terms.

About: Hi there! My name is Ana. I know the feeling and uncertainty of leaving of my pet with anyone when I travel or need it. That’s why I started Rover. My goal is to make sure you can be confident leaving your pet in safe company and companionship while you enjoy or be fully present in whatever it is you are leaving for. ***Big on taking in only 1-2 pets at time, my reason for this is I take my care for the animals seriously. I want to give your pet the attentiveness it deserves and extra care.*** I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Starting with my own pets, then helping family and friends, and eventually fostering cats/kittens and dogs/pupies for several years. I’m deeply experienced with all kinds of personalities:from playful puppies to shy rescues and I know how to make animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special attention for nervous pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me for reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life,whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with animals, it’s second nature to me. I’m used to adjusting my routine to meet each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, medication schedules, or extra cuddle time. I work from home, so that’s super helpful. Also my fiance wfh a lot so he loves helping! I treat every pet like a little soul in my care—whether they’re staying with me or I’m in their space. In my home, I create a calm, cozy vibe with safe spaces, soft spots to rest, and plenty of love (plus playtime, if they’re into that!). When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel grounded and secure. I move with their energy—whether that means zoomies, belly rubs, or quiet companionship.

About: Hi my name is Katelyn but I go by Nova! I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 8 years old and can’t imagine not having one with me. I now have just 2 cats and a bully mix. I’ve taken care of mainly herding mixes so I can safely say that dogs that are “a lot of dog “ are my specialty. Positive reinforcement based Training has also been a special interest of mine for a few years now and so I’m quite knowledgeable on that subject as well! I work full time pet sitting and dog walking! Because of this I’m pretty much always available to care for or walk your fur baby! I will care for your animals with the utmost care, responsibility, safety, and detail as if they were my own. I’m unable to provide boarding services at the moment but I still do pet sitting!

About: Though I have never gotten paid to pet sit, I have raised many cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and even a pig! Even though animals cannot speak to us in the way we speak to each other, I tend to always have an idea of the needs in animals! It’s all about body language! I have never been scared of any type of pet, no matter the size or background. Booking with me means you know that your pet is in trustworthy hands. I am currently a college student full time. I can only work after 5, and can go until 11 as needed. I am available Sunday nights at the same times, but not Saturdays, unless it is early in the morning or an emergency! I have a fenced in yard, but my dog is trained to not leave our yard unless with a leash anyways. I have also had dogs on lots of land, so I understand if some have more wiggle room. My cats are indoor, but I have had outdoor cats so I do know how to take care of them as well. I can watch any type of animal, I just need specific directions of it is a senior animal or requires any special medication/food(dosage).

About: I grew up in a pet loving household with cats, dogs and the occasional hamster or two. My husband and I now have a sassy 13 year old calico named Mittens and our newest addition is a rescue puppy called Leia. We also recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog Arlie. I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats throughout their life stages and changing needs. I work for myself so my schedule is very flexible. Afternoons specifically I am usually wide open and love getting a good walk in with a pup! My weekends tend to be very flexible as well. I treat your pets as I do my own with lots of care, attention and love. After a life spent around pets I'm very good at reading their emotions and will do my best to have a fun and safe time together.

Dog Walking FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

If you’re searching for a Lakewood dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Lakewood.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note

Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
