About: Adult cat owner for a year and a lifetime of pet care and sitting experience. I work remotely in communications and marketing, so I have open availability and am very flexible with my time and attention. I’ve been an in-house sitter and dog walker for many friends over the last several years and have lots of experience with senior pets and anxious dogs. I work from home, fully remote, so I’m very flexible! Most of my job involves on-screen virtual meetings, writing and phone interviews so I’m happy to break up my day with walks, cuddles, snuggles and play time! I have an indoor-only cat who loves playtime and cuddling, but I also have experience sitting for anxious dogs and senior pets. I’m patient, calm and caring, and happy to sit with them, walk them or play indoor and outdoor.
About: I treat every pet like family, not just a client. Early mornings, late nights, weekends— I work around your schedule. You’ll always know how your pet is doing with fun photos! I work part time at an assisted living facility here in Lakewood (20 hours at most) so I’ve got lots of time for play and snuggles Before any booking, I schedule a meet and greet to make sure the fit is right for everybody involved. I stick to routines and give one on ones with each pet in the home!
About: Grew up in my childhood home with dogs. I have been around them my whole life. I have dog sat for friends and family when out of town. When taking care of others fur babies, I like to focus on the routine that’s been build and go based on that. I currently am a full time lab technican and has the weather gets warmer, I enjoy going on strolls in the evening after work and on my days off. I figured having a fur buddy for company would be a great way to spend my time. I usually have three days off a week so I’m flexible. When dog walking I would prefer to stay in the community of the client. If extra care is needed such as playing or feeding while client is out or busy, I would not mind at all.
“Otter loves his walks so much that he’s started napping on the entryway stairs and races to the door before Olesja has even entered the code 😅 Another great week of adventures, love, and learning!”
“Had nothing but a great first-time experience with Elizabeth. She's great at communicating and makes sure my doggy is happy and well cared for! Thank you for all your help!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakewood
August is amazing with my girl Reese on weekly walks. August is knowledgable, trustworthy and reliable. Reese is always looking forward to her walk with August! She knows they’re always caring, kind and gentle with her. I would highly recommend August to anyone needing pet care.
Michael is an awesome care provider for my dog Sirius! I highly recommend his services. He communicates clearly, is very consistent, thought and most importantly very kind. Unfortunately we have to move and will no longer be able to have him take care of Sirius. I wish him the best!
Megan is absolutely amazing! She has been so caring and attentive to our puppy, he is so happy after walks with her! She is an excellent communicator and gives great detailed updates. She knows what she is doing and takes her job seriously. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
Claudia was fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pit bull, Neo, to Claudia for his daily walks, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. Claudia is not only punctual and reliable, but she also has a natural affinity with dogs that is truly remarkable. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Claudia is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each walk was tailored to his energy level and temperament. She was also able to get some of his daily training done while on walks. My dog absolutely adors her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Claudia's professionalism and dedication have given me complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakewood on Rover is $19.98 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 2,245 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:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
