“Regina is excellent in every way. She is very professional and cares kindly for our young puppy (who can be a handful). Regina has gone out of her way to make sure Clif gets outside for walks and has playtime during the day while we are at work or away for extended periods of time. She has also given us great tips on how to get him more comfortable with crate training and leaving him for hours at a time. We plan to use Regina regularly!”

About: Hi I'm Christabel I have a strong love for pets! I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter that started out taking care of pets of all kind for my neighbors, friends and family. I currently have a dog named Owen (AKA MonkeyMan). He is a 17 year old Tibetan Spaniel mix who thinks he's a 1 year old Rottweiler living his best life. I have had four pets in my life (including a chicken named Jackie). I also have previous experience as a playtime companion at a cat adoption center in PetSmart. I have previously cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, a fish, and a guinea pig named Herbert. I am a reliable and responsible animal lover looking for extra walks and cuddles with some fur friends. I am energetic, loving and patient with them. I am very flexible with the hours and days I can work. Looking forward to loving on your furry babies like their my own! Please do not hesitate to ask questions there are no stupid questions when it comes to your fur babies! Due to being in school virtually I am able to care for your pet on very short notice. For pet sitting/play times, I do prefer mornings and evenings but I have plenty of other times to walk or play with your fur babies. When I enter your home the 1st thing I'll do is greet your fur baby, followed by a treat! I'm a strong believer that this is their time that's why you'll see me taking them to a local park or playing with their favorite toy during our time together. I currently not working so I’ll be home most of the time with your pet! i’m free 24 seven this makes me ideal for all pets especially pets that need high levels of interaction! I have a fenced backyard that your fur baby can play in! I do have two cats. They tend to hide when other people come over, but they’re not reactive.

I currently have two family dogs myself I walk when I visit my childhood home, each with their own unique personality when it comes to walking, so I completely understand the key to a good walk is patience and awareness for the dogs energy. I started walking dogs from a very early age, so I have lots of experience. I promise your fur babies will have the greatest time and be in safe hands! Plus, I love taking as many photos as I can 💗 I currently work full-time but typically have mornings free, Wednesday’s and Sunday’s free. I always try and make time for dog walks and I’m very communicative about whether or not a walk time would work for me. In my home I have parks nearby and a nicely sized living room. At clients homes I’m always very respectful of the space and typically try to take the dog out for walks as much as possible if that’s their energy.

Absolutely amazing experience! Olesja came through for me at the last minute and was nothing short of awesome. She was always on time, communicated consistently, and kept me updated with pictures and videos. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and truly cared for my fur baby. She did everything she was supposed to do and more! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker. We absolutely loved her! 🐾❤️
Kellie is great with our dog, Henry! He gets so excited whenever he sees her, which tells us he really enjoys her company. She walks him while we’re away from home, and we always come back to a happy, well-exercised pup with no accidents. We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust to take such good care of Henry!
Lily was willing to meet prior to get us acquainted and get key copies. Our first session was great. I appreciate having a verified person to feel comfortable letting someone else enter my home and take care of my baby when I can't. I expect this to improve flexibility and increase Lucy and my quality of life. I plan to schedule Lily again!
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!

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
