“Lauren helped us out in a serious jam and fit us into her schedule at the last minute. She was very helpful in taking in packages and not minding how messy the house was 😀”
About: Hi! I’m Manny, and I share my home with Nahla, my Cavalier King Charles mix, who’s taught me everything about patience, routine, and unconditional love. Dogs have always been part of my life, and caring for Nahla every day keeps me tuned in to the little things. The right pace for a walk, when a pup needs a break, and how to read their energy so every outing feels safe and fun. I treat every dog I look after the way I’d want mine treated: with attention, consistency, and genuine affection. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or extra playtime, I show up on time, stay present the whole visit, and send updates so you’re never left wondering how things went. I’m based in Denver’s Baker neighborhood and love exploring the area’s parks and trails always happy to tailor walks to your dog’s pace and personality. My schedule is flexible, so I can usually accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends! Just message me and we’ll find a time that works. I typically reply within the hour, so you won’t be left waiting to hear back. Looking forward to meeting your pup! Send a message and let’s set up a meet-and-greet! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends without much notice. I’m home most days and happy to build a routine that fits your schedule and your pet’s needs perfectly Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than boarding, I focus on your pet’s comfort in their own space. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, routine, and safety, and I’m attentive to their comfort, energy, and any specific needs you outline for each visit.
About: Hey! I'm Molly, a compassionate NICU RN and animal lover. For 15 years, I was the proud mom of a beloved dog, navigating everything from the energetic puppy years to the gentle, specialized care required in their senior stage. Living here in Lakewood, I love taking advantage of our beautiful local parks, and I would love to keep your furry family member safe, active, and thoroughly loved while you are away. I have a schedule that varies but I am able to move shifts around if necessary. Just let me know what you need and we can figure something out! I have a two-bedroom townhouse with a doggy door and a fenced in deck with access to potty spots, turf and trees with squirrel entertainment.
“Emi is one of the best walkers and sitters I have ever had! She was perfect in following my senior dog's complicated instructions, and she was excellent in her communication. Emi gave my dog excellent walks and he loved her so much. I cannot recommend her enough to anybody who wants excellent care!”
“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!”
“Haley is great! My dog can be a bit scared of new people and she took time to meet with him before. She walked him and sent pictures and it looks like they had a great day! Highly recommend!”
“Sara was great with my wild 1.5 yr old Golden Retriever. She responded very quickly when we were in need of someone to walk him on short notice. She sent pictures and updates every day and was all around wonderful to work with! ?”
About: I have been taking care of all animals big and small, young and old for many years. I had 3 dogs who have all recently passed away in the last couple years. I know how important our pets are to us and always want to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have experience with cats, dogs, and even larger farm animals. I have baby sat all kinds of animals for many years now. I am a recent college graduate who is currently working part time. Outside of that I have lots of free time to provide pet care. I enjoy going on walks or chilling around the house which I would love to do with a pet friend by my side! I have had multiple pets of my own and I am competent in all kinds of care such as training, medications, crating or any other possible needs.
About: i have watched several dogs over the years, including grooming and dog boarding. absolutely love it and can assure you safe environment lots of love. i work from home so i have plenty of time to give your fur baby all the time they need with outside parks & company from my fur baby. I have a big park across the street with a underground trail. Safe environment lots of love and a pup to keep your fur baby company.
“Melina did wonderful with Willow; she warmed up to Melina almost immediately. Melina also provided plenty of updates with pictures so I was never worried about my little girl.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Animal training has been a passion of mine since I was little. Owning two German Shepherds at the time, I was able to learn how to care for animals, and practice the training methods I learned (I taught my dogs some agility, sniff work, and other tricks and commands). I had the opportunity to shadow a veterinarian for two summers, and learned about the medical side of pet care. Having owned many rescue pets in my lifetime, I have also gained experience with reactive and anxious dogs, aggression problems, breed-specific health problems, and puppy house-training & crate-training. I am 21 and in my second year at Colorado College. Right now, I can only care for pets during my breaks at home in Boulder. I would love to fill my free time with meeting and caring for animals! When I meet new pets, I really like to get to know them and what makes them happy (whether it be head scratches, long games of fetch, mental stimulation games, or sometimes just keeping out of their personal space). In the same vein, I love to teach tricks/commands, and would love to help out with that if you have specific requests. When I pet sit over the summers, Rover is my only job. I will be able to spend most of the day with your pet/s. I always appreciate written instructions—the more detailed, the better. And I will have my own list of questions to discuss with you when we meet!

I'm eager to know your pet's personality, tendencies, and any routine actions they need. Before I leave for work, I locate each animal to ensure they are okay and not stuck or in distress.
About: Long time volunteer veteran at multiple Humane Societies specializing in Humane Education, dog walking, cat comforting, adoption counseling and animal interaction. I have been around and am very comfortable around dogs, cats, horses and other animals all my life. Passionate about helping others and working with animals.

Familiar with the different types of dog breeds small, toy, medium and large. No problems interacting with puppies to seniors, shy, or energetic and those four legged friends with special needs.

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 on weekdays after class or anytime on 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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
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!
Emi is one of the best walkers and sitters I have ever had! She was perfect in following my senior dog's complicated instructions, and she was excellent in her communication. Emi gave my dog excellent walks and he loved her so much. I cannot recommend her enough to anybody who wants excellent care!
Katrina has been a great dog walker for us! She’s excellent with communication, reliable, and flexible with our schedules. Our dog, Luna, takes a little time to warm up to new people, and Katrina was patient and took the time to help her feel comfortable. We feel at ease knowing Luna is in good hands. We highly recommend her!

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.
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:
- 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.
