“Amazing communication, instructions were followed very well, and Marissa left very detailed photos and reports after each walk. Felt like my dogs were in great hands!”
About: Hi pet owners! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with many dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Now I'm a proud cat mom to two amazing cats and would love to look after your kitties as well. From energetic puppies/kittens to senior animals, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm a graduate student with flexible hours throughout the week to care for your babies. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm, reliable companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m available for overnight stays on the weekends, and drop in visits or walks after 1pm on M, W, F or anytime on Tues, Thurs, or weekends. I’m currently a graduate student, so that leaves me with flexible time to care for your animal while you’re at work or occupied during the day or night! I like to do either an in-person or virtual meet and greet beforehand to make sure I'm a good fit as your pet sitter. Beyond that, I pay very great attention to the animals while I’m taking care of them and make sure to follow all requests made by the owner. I'm happy to accommodate odd requests for pet care since I know some fur babies have their own quirky routine! I'm willing to do house sitting requests while you're away as well.
“Melina saved the day and took Brego for a much needed walk while I was enjoying a little more time than usual on the mountain. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Kathryn was great! She helped me out last minute and took such good care of my puppy. She was able to let him out twice a day, spent time playing with him, and made me feel completely at ease my first days away from him. She had great communication, was always on time, and kept my house exactly the way I left it. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would use her again!”
“Sara is fantastic and was willing to schedule walks with Nova last-minute. She was very friendly and checked in with me regularly. Would absolutely book again, no questions asked.”
About: I recently put my senior dog down and my house feels so empty. I grew up with cats and dogs but have pet-sitted for friends with bunnies, fish, gerbils, rats, etc. I can accommodate taking care of animals of all ages and needs. I am a remote, contract employee so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have children or pets so I can (and am happy to be able to) provide lots of quality time to the pet. I am a responsible individual that loves spending time with animals. I respect and care about the pet, owner and environment. Ensuring the happiness and safety of the pet is a priority for me. I am comfortable and confident taking care of any pet and their needs.
“Molly has been a great dog walker for my nervous buddy! He warmed up to her right away, which is a huge sign that she’s truly an animal lover. She has been really helpful with questions and has been a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Emi came to our house before the booking started to meet Rocky and get to know his routine. She asked all the important questions to make sure she understood his needs, which immediately gave me confidence that he would be in great hands. Emi did an amazing job taking care of Rocky! She took him on walks and, when the weather was too hot, brought him to the dog park in our apartment complex so he could still get exercise and have fun. She was an absolute lifesaver during a very busy week. She also sent me photos of Rocky every day, and I could tell from his face how happy he was! I am so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust, not only with my home, but with the most precious thing in my life: Rocky. I would absolutely recommend Emi to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog walker.”

“Lauren was fabulous. She showed up on time, asked great questions to get to know Steve and his walking style, and was out for the whole time or extra. I will be rebooking regularly!”
About: Hey, I'm Jordan! I've grown up around cats and dogs and have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages. I'm reliable, patient, and always happy to follow your pets routine. Your pets happiness and safety are my top priorities. I'll treat them like family and keep you updated every step of the way! I have a full-part time job so fitting in dogs walks, feedings or overnight stays wouldn't be a problem at all. Monday-Friday daily check-ins and Friday-sunday I,m available overnight. I have a large fenced in yard that provides lots of space for my 3 dogs to run and play! I have so many toys for them if I'd get another one they're toy bin would be overflowing!

About: I have had dogs my entire life. Had a Miniature Dachshund that I worked with in training class when i was in middle school and cared for him throughout high school. I adopted my first Dog, Boss Hogg, a cattle dog mix at 8 weeks old in 2012. Together we have gone through a multitude of trainings including obedience, off-leash, and sheep-herding. Recently, my fiancé and I have welcomed a new cattle dog mix puppy, Daisy Duke, and she has been taking to training and following Boss's lead very well! I love all dogs, and I have a lot of experience caring for other friends' dogs in exchange for watching Boss and Daisy. I am friendly, professional, reliable, and punctual and will provide the utmost respect you your pets and homes. I work from home with a flexible morning to afternoon schedule, during which I would love to ensure your dog(s) will get the walks, attention, and love they deserve while you are busy taking care of your own human social responsibilities! I am also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks as well. I am lucky to have a job where I work from home (although with some weeks of travel) and can spend all day with my pups. I usually get them to the park or for a walk at least twice a day, and its one of the best parts of my day where I can have time with my thoughts and reflection. I also love to help out with my friends' and neighbor's dogs when they travel, happy pups always brighten my day! I love giving dogs treats, cuddles, pets and belly scratches.
“Zephyr is so excited when Paul comes. He knows he is going for a walk and will talk to him upon arrival. He loves his walks and time with Paul to get out and see the neighborhood and enjoy some scented air. Thank you so much!”
About: I have been a pet parent for multiple dogs in the past twenty years, with often two or three fur babies at a time! I am a Registered Nurse, and am just as comfortable providing TLC to dog babies as I am to humans. Due to COVID, I am currently working from home, and have more options to watch and care for your fur baby. Because of my nursing education and experience, I am proficient at administering injectable (or other) medications, performing dressing changes, or doing any other task which requires medical knowledge or skill. I am quasi – retired at this point, and have lots of free time to devote to your fur baby! I would love to schedule either recurring or one-time visits - I'm flexible! My fur baby is a very friendly husky who loves playmates! I have a fenced-in yard, with walking access to Belmar park. My significant other is also a lover of fur babies great and small, and we are both Registered Nurses (for humans). We treat our fur baby as a member of our family, and we would treat yours the same, as well!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Kelly is wonderful to work with! She’s great with Yoshi and was very patient with him when they first met. Yoshi is very comfortable around her. Kelly is thoughtful, responsive, and very reliable. I feel comfortable knowing Yoshi is in good hands with her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog walker.
We’ve been paws-itively thrilled with our dog walker! She’s dependable, responsive, and someone we know we can count on when we need a little help in a pinch. Her communication is top-notch, and we love the regular “pupdates” that let us know our pup is happy, safe, and getting plenty of tail-wagging attention. Kathleen’s definitely earned our trust—and our dog’s approval, which is really the only review that matters! We’ll be looking forward to having her back for our next round of walks. Highly recommended!
Suzi was amazing with both of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish of new people and has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure. Suzi took the time to make my dog feel comfortable and even brought treats for him that are suitable for his strict diet. I will be using her again and I will recommend her to all of my family and friends. Thank you Suzi!
Peace has great communication and knows so much about dogs! We are just starting to get our huskies used to her for drop ins and walks and she’s been great to work with! We have one shy girl and Peace has been so patient. We look forward to more walks and visits!

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 .
As of September 2026, there are 13,437 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.

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:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
