“Sarah takes time to walk Sadie around the yard. She is very aware of the environment which is good...we have huge hawks. Sarah also is Covid purfect...she wipes down everything.”
About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
“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!”
About: Let me bring your dog along for the adventure... exercise is good for both of us. I love all dogs and have experience with many breeds. I'm used to watching a female cane corse (Amy). I've done over nights at their house for the last 3+ years usually 2 weeks at a time and have done drop-ins also when needed. I also did dog sitting for my neighbors dog as needed female (black lab German shepherd mix). Usually I take the dogs for a short walk in the morning, and in the afternoon a short walk with sometime play time, and a long walk in the evening before bed. Looking forward to meeting you and your 4 legged pup. For references and more about me feel free to contact me. I prefer house sitting, walks or drop in visits as I do not have a fenced in yard nor can I have pets at my place. I will ensure the house is secure every time I exit and will provide daily updates including pictures when house sitting. I’m currently working part-time and would love to spend some of my extra time caring for your furry family members! I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I care for all aminals as if they were humans, because let's be real sometimes they're better then humans! I am always extra safe and respectful.
“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.”
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.
“Rachel was wonderful with my dog and extra communicative. She took her time on each walk and made sure to include detailed updates after. I will definitely rebook with Rachel in the future”
About: I have taken care of furry friends almost my entire life as I grew up with cats and dogs. Friends, family and neighbors alike have entrusted me with the care of their furry family. I am currently going to school full-time with only one class in person on Tuesday nights. This gives me time to hang out with our furry friends :) I am a clean person when house sitting and will always leave it as clean as I have found it. I do have two cats at home who are quite scared of their own shadows and will hide from new friends. I have a park across the street that is easily accessible and clean.
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!
“Manny has done great with Amos. I wanted to start getting my dog more time out midday and Manny has helped a lot with that. He's kind, personable, gets along well with my little guy and is easy to communicate with. He comes recommended. Thanks!”
“Kelly went above and beyond while caring for Odin! She was communicative and it was clear to me that Odin was in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who will love on your dog while your away then Kelly is your person.”

About: Hi! I’m Bri, and caring for animals has been one of the biggest passions of my life for over 11 years. While many people love animals, I’ve built my life around caring for them—whether that’s through rescue work, training, or providing a safe and loving home. For six years, I co-ran a small animal rescue, helping countless dogs and cats find loving families. I’ve worked with animals of all personalities—from shy and fearful rescues to energetic puppies and senior pets needing a little extra patience and compassion. I also cared for animals on our 13-acre farm, where I looked after horses, chickens, dogs, and cats. That experience taught me responsibility, adaptability, and how to recognize an animal’s needs before they become problems. I have experience training small and medium-sized dogs using positive reinforcement, and I genuinely enjoy helping pets build confidence and good manners. Outside of animal care, I’m a registered nurse with a background in orthopedic and trauma nursing. My nursing career has strengthened my attention to detail, ability to stay calm in emergencies, and commitment to providing compassionate care—qualities that naturally carry over into caring for your pets. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone who understands that every animal is unique, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I know how hard it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so my goal is always to give you peace of mind through excellent communication, reliability, and lots of photos and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! As a stay-at-home mom to one little boy, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. My routine allows me to be dependable, attentive, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs, so they’ll receive the love and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I share my home with two friendly cats and spend much of my day caring for and interacting with animals. While my front yard is unfenced, all dogs are kept securely leashed outdoors. I provide daily walks of 30 minutes or more, often at a nearby park, along with plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, fresh water, and potty breaks. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jacqueline is a very reliable dog walker and great with my dog, Tommy. She is a great communicator and truly enjoys walking my pup. I’d recommend her anytime and plan on using her as needed.”
About: I’ve always loved animals! I’m the resident pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I can’t wait to hang out with yours!! I currently work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available on weekdays when you’re at work or on weekends when you’re out exploring somewhere your little buddies can’t go! I have plenty of room in my car to take your pet to a park if there isn’t one in walking distance. I am happy to feed/walk your pets as often as you’d like and I loooove taking pictures for as many cute updates as you’d like!
About: For decades I have taken care of pets for friends/family and now I am looking to extend this for others. I love to be able to provide people with peace in knowing their beloved animals are being taken care of while the pets get to stay in their familiar place of home. I want you to be able to enjoy your vacation or spend your energy and focuses where it needs to be while you can't be home for your beloved animals. So it's important for me to make sure your pets are so well cared for while you can't be there. I am respectful of your space and leave it in same condition when I leave at the end of the stay. I work part-time (Wed-Sat) and half of that is virtual and big time gaps between meetings. The longest consistent gap that I am away would be one day a week (Fridays) when I'm in the office from 9-4. I would stay in your home so the pet(s) are not too disrupted by change while their human(s) are away. I would make sure they have ample time outside.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
Maria was wonderful and took such great care of our 55 lb senior Husky and 115 lb Great Dane during their daily walks while we were out of town! Both of our dogs needed daily exercise, and Maria took them on hour-long walks each day. She also sent detailed report cards and pictures from every walk, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. It was especially reassuring knowing she could comfortably handle both our senior Husky and our very large Great Dane. We had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog walker!
Kelly seems to be totally comfortable and patient with our anxious Tali who is scared of new people! We are excited to work with her and know that she and the girls are going to get along great. She has a calm energy and is very communicative and responsive. Thanks for taking the time to get to know our girls and their anxious (and my anxious) ways!!!
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!

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
