Timothy is hands down the best dog walker Ollie has had. He takes him on actual walks, gives him so much care and attention, and Ollie absolutely loves him. He gets excited every time he hears Timothy is coming! The trust piece is huge for me, and I fully trust Timothy with Ollie. Highly recommend.

Rachel has walked Gus a few times now. They are great together. She is extremely knowledgeable on all dogs and cats needs. He really enjoys his walks with her - you wouldn’t guess that he’s a senior. I would definitely request her again and highly recommend her services to anyone. 10+++ stars!

I can’t express in words the amazing job Shoshana did. I never heard of Rover before and wanted to try it out. Shoshana came out early just to meet my dog so they could know each other. Shoshana came to walk her for the booking and treated my dog like she was her own. Her love and affection for an animal that is not hers is unbelievable. I only wish I knew about Shoshana sooner. I look forward to the next time I can use her service because I know my dog is in good hands with her.

Our Boston Terrier Ruben LOVES his weekly visits with Lisa!!! After meeting with her, my wife & I felt confident that Ruben would be in good hands. We enjoy the photos & updates detailing their day together. I’m so glad we found Lisa & are extremely grateful for the time she dedicates to Ruben. Excellent communication, very kind & always prompt. We look forward to Ruben’s continued walks & play time with her! Can’t thank you enough & truly appreciate your help!

About: I had a lab and weinerdog when I was little into my teens. We got our pit when I was 11. He's a senior now. And currently I have 2 cats if my own. One of my cats takes a med every night while the other one needs a butt wipe and grooming. I work full time as a para at a school for disabled, and part time ABA therapy for kids with autism. I'm hoping to fit in hours during the weekend and during school holidays. I feed, groom, clean litter boxes, and administer meds to my cats. My male cat is very playful, while my female cat all she wants is to be brushed constantly. Growing up I had a very feister daschound who played a lot, even in her old age. Generally I'm comfortable with whatever your pet might require.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own. I work at a doggy daycare where I care for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I’m the go-to dog sitter in my family. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and making sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and treating them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already work with dogs and care for pets regularly. On weekends, I’m available after 1 PM and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, visits, and playtime. During the week, I work and attend school, but I’m available in the afternoons on Mondays and in the evenings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m used to planning my schedule around pet care and always make sure the pets I’m caring for receive reliable attention and consistent care. When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and always have fresh water. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. I currently work at a doggy daycare and have dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they receive lots of attention, care, and love while you’re gone.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I understand the unique needs of each dog and tailor my approach to fit their personality and routine. I am skilled in creating a safe, comfortable environment, managing feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of exercise, play, and mental stimulation. I genuinely care about each dog’s happiness and well-being, ensuring they receive all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m currently working full time. I am available on the weekend so pet parents can get a nice little get away and nights as well. Caring for pets mean that involves adapting to their individual needs and environment. In my home, I provide a safe, maintain routines, give playtime, and keep owners updated with photos. If in the client’s home, I respect their space, follow the pet’s usual schedule, secure the home, and communicate regularly. In both, I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized care for the pet.

About: I’ve owned dogs for 13 years and currently have a male Pomeranian, so I understand daily care, feeding routines, walks, attention, and patience. I’ve also been actively working on training, which has taught me consistency and how to understand dog behavior. I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I balance pet care alongside work and school, and I’m committed to providing dependable walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and attention for every pet. My schedule can vary week to week, but I respond quickly and communicate clearly to confirm availability. I’m consistently available Thursdays and Saturdays, with additional morning, afternoon, and evening availability depending on my work schedule. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable in their own home. I supervise all interactions, provide fresh water, and maintain clean, hazard-free spaces. I follow owner instructions carefully, respect boundaries, and create a calm, secure environment. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority, whether it’s companionship, walking, feeding, or administering basic care.

About: My name is Cassie and I’m a veterinary student and previous vet tech. I work with animals on a daily basis so I have experience with all sorts of animals, but especially dog and horses. I have worked as a vet tech since undergrad, interned at the Six Flags Great Adventure Safari with the veterinarian, and have been a horseback riding instructor/trainer for the last 8 years. I always put the animal first and am willing to provide extra care to make them the most comfortable, healthy, and happy they can be. I’m currently in school but live only 10 minutes away from campus so I can easily make it back for breaks and walks during the day as I normally do with my own dog. I also have two horses who are dog friendly so if you would like, your dog would be able to come to the yard and come for hacks with Whisky and my horses! I have a fenced in garden and am close to the Pentlands so I can provide hikes, but also regularly go to the beach with my puppy so I would also be happy to take them there. I am able to provide grooming services including baths and nail trims for an additional cost. As for house sitting, I am very tidy and take care of other's houses as if they were my own. I will also happily clean if needed, etc.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lakewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakewood on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,450 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:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
