“Doreen is the best. We have 100% confidence in leaving our two Golden Retrievers in her care. She is professional, dependable and always goes above and beyond. We are so grateful for her🥰”

I am adept at maintaining consistent routines, managing leash manners, and administering medications, ensuring your dog stays active and secure. By focusing on positive reinforcement and clear communication, I build a trusting bond with every pup, keeping you updated with photos and detailed reports so you never miss a moment. Im a current student at Gannon so I have classes but only in the mornings and get off at 12:10, but i do also have practice for a hour at 7. My dog and cat are indoor animals so they are very sheltered. Anything your animal needs i would ensure it and their safety of course
About: I have experience with all ages and sizes. As well as medical needs and administrating medicine! I've worked with high energy working breeds (previous Malinois owner), couch potatoes, and everything in between. currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility, meaning more time that I can spend with your baby! Im available Mon-Fri, with an exception for some weekends. My last dog was a Boston Terrier mix, that girl loved nothing more than to eat and hangout on the couch. With the occasional fetch with her favorite frisbee. Before Gracie, I had a Belgian Malinois named Rosie. Our days were mainly spent outside digging, racing, playing fetch and anything else she wanted to do. I currently have two cats, our days are filled with cuddles, playtime, bird watching, and 3am zoomies. So, whichever vibe your sweet baby enjoys and thrives in i’ll be right there enjoying it with them!

You can contact me in advance, or you can message me the same day! I have 18 acres of field and woods. I have 2 cats and 1 dog that are friendly to other animals. I understand each pet is different and have different schedules. I do my best to keep your companions on the same schedule as you'd want them.
About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lakewood is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 162 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 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lakewood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
