About: Ive been caring for dogs my whole life with my family animals and also pet sitting for friends. Im very comfortable with all breeds! Im your girl for long walks or extra snuggles. I recently moved to Ohio from Oregon and am looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends and getting to know the area with long walks with your dogs or traveling to new neighborhoods to care for your pets. I will care for your pet however you instruct me to. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away!
“Colleen always goes above and beyond for Mowgli! She is sure to be on time and give plenty of pictures and videos. She is so sweet with Mowgli and was so patient with him while he was getting comfortable with her at first. Mowgli is very lucky to have someone like Colleen available on days when I am not able to let him out. It’s so nice to know he is in great hands :)”
“Joe saved the day! Have a chi and Great Dane who is hard to handle. She knocked my husband down three times attempting to chase other dogs. Joe is strong, kind, professional, reliable and knows dogs. So happy with 3x a week walks.”
“I’m new to rover and was a little nervous but Thomas was so good with my pupper and communicated great! I appreciated his photo updates and him asking questions to make sure he was covering all his bases.”
“I have been working with Katherine for a while now. She comes over to take my dog for a walk about 3 times a week and she is always on time, reliable, and sends me updates. I’m so glad I found her on this app because she has made leaving my dog home all day so much better knowing he is getting out of the house for a little exercise. Thank you Katherine!”
“Otter had another great week walking and learning with Olesja. He is SO excited when she comes to the door and braves his fears (lately anything with wheels, lol) knowing he is safe with her! We are so grateful to see his confidence grow each session.”
“Mitchell is the best dog walker/cat care giver we have had on Rover, even though all of our experiences have been good. He was easy to work with, took great care of both our cat and dog and their meds while we were gone for a week, gave detailed (and entertaining) reports, and photos daily. Highly recommend.”
“Friendly, professional, and reliable. Chloe, you are a natural, and there are few people I could imagine so quickly trusting with the extra care and attention that Lola needs. Thank you!”
“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”
About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 17. I am a huge animal lover and will treat your babies like they are my own. I have had experience for 10 years growing up with pets. When I was in high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter. I am currently a server at a restaurant. My work day does not start until 2pm at the earliest during the week. I am available in the morning for walks or drop in visits. I can even stop by after work if need be. I am a very communicative person and would ensure that any concerns you may have will be answered. I love takings photos and would be more than happy to send cute update photos of your pet throughout the day. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Your house will be treated with the upmost respect while I am there.
“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”
“Ellen did a great job walking my dog! She was on time, followed instructions, and communicated with me! Quincy had so much fun and is very excited to see Ellen again for another walk!”
About: I’ve been connecting with all types of animals since I was a child. As a detail oriented pet carer, I always prioritize safety for your pet and your property. But my favorite part of the job is the satisfaction I experience from helping animals feel cared for and loved until their people return. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to provide detailed safe care for your pets. It also allows me to spend time for walking, playing, and of course hugs. For stop in visits, I focus on following directions, so I can safely care for and spend time with your pets meeting all of their needs.
“Jeffrey is an excellent walker. He takes our dog on long walks and gets him nice and tired. He took the time to meet us first to make sure we felt comfortable with him and always takes the best pictures of our pup as well! Our apartment is a little difficult to access but he has been great working with the staff to get in everyday and we feel comfortable with him in our home. Would highly recommend.”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lakewood on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,236 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.

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.
