About: I’m a college student who had the pleasure to work with the PAWS program at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking classes mostly Monday and Wednesday morning but when i’m not in school i’m usually at home with the pups. I take a long walk every morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that some pups can get overwhelmed with sudden changes to their environment and routine.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. My family ran a doggy daycare in Germany for several years, And ever since I've moved to Minnesota I've been longing to get back into the business! I have experience working with dogs of all different sizes, cats, rabbits, and even birds! No challenge is too big for me and I am very familiar working with animals that require special needs. Your animals well-being is my top priority and I will treat them as if they were my own! I am a college student with flexible, part-time work– meaning that your pets will never be alone for too long! We can discuss exact schedules in more detail as needed, and I am more than willing to be flexible and accommodating to your needs! As a professional in the industry, I am very aware of the fact that every client has their own needs and wants. I always engange with animals and client homes with the utmost respect. Please do not shy away from requesting any accomodations! No request is too small, and it is very important to me that you feel your loved ones are in good hands with me!

About: My name is Serenity, and I guarantee peace of mind when you leave your animals with me. I grew up on a farm and with a mother who adores animals. I've cared for all kinds of animals and have extensive experience with looking after their well-being and health. I love any animal from big dogs to baby kittens. I know that your pet is like family to you. If you choose me as a sitter, I can promise that they will be treated as family. I can work with rescues and special diets. I can bottle feed and help with disabled animals as well. Not only am I able to look after your animals with the care that is necessary, I can also ensure the loving environment any animal deserves :) I am a college student who has lots of extra time this summer. I recently moved states and I deeply miss my own pet family; for that reason I plan on working with animals as much as possible. Tell me what you need, I'll work with you! I don't plan on hosting because I live in an apartment, however I am very respectful of spaces that aren't mine. If you need me to watch your babies over night, I promise I'll treat your space with as much respect as my own- even if your pet makes a mess, you wouldn't be able to tell because I'd clean it asap!

About: I’ve had dogs and cared for them since I was 5 years old. I’ve had experience with both puppies and older dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I love spending time with dogs, especially taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel well cared for! I work every other weekend (Friday–Sunday) in the evenings at a hospital and have classes Monday through Wednesday afternoons. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to let dogs out, take them for walks, and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise and companionship! I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner’s instructions to maintain their pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets or stopping by for walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while also providing updates and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Emily took great care of our dogs! She was on time for our meet and greet and made sure she got to know both Pete and Rosie. When she came to walk the dogs, she was able to get Rosie outside and down the road (which is a big accomplishment with a timid, blind dog)! We definitely would recommend Emily.”

“Tyler will continue to be my go to dog walker when I need help getting my 2 dogs their daily exercise. My pups are spoiled with daily outings , and dog park trips - we usually average 6-8 miles per day but often hit 10-12 miles once or twice every week…. with Tyler, I have peace of mind and confidence that my dogs will get a walk and the type of exercise they are accustomed to. They always return content , satisfied and most importantly exhausted! Thanks again Tyler!”

About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”

About: I’ve had family pets ever since I was brought into this world, and my life would’ve been incomplete without them! In terms of experience, I worked as a dog handler for a summer and worked with dogs of all types, sizes, and personalities! I’m taking a summer off before my last semester of college, and thought that maybe I could make this a part time gig for the time being, so my availability is incredibly flexible, especially in the month of July. In my home, I stay consistent with basic pet care rituals like feeding and watering, potty breaks, and play time! For my clients, I do exactly as they ask in order to keep both me and their pet safe and cared for!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s administering medications, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or taking them on long walks I am currently working mornings and evenings so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to play with your pet and taking long walks. I’ve done house sitting at others home and have respected all of their wishes with their pet and their home. It is better for pets to stay in their home so they are comfortable.

About: Hi, I'm a student with a pretty flexible schedule and I can't wait to meet your pet(s)! I have my own dog who's turning 5 soon. I have experience with dogs of various sizes (8-80lbs) and all sorts of personalities, so I can't wait to get to know yours! I also love cats and have experience cat-sitting. During weekends (Friday-Sunday) I'm able to offer potty breaks and walks. I can adjust the frequency for your pet's needs if I'm sitting and not just dropping in! Their safety and comfort is my #1 priority so just let me know about their likes/dislikes and boundaries. I'm also comfortable providing oral and topical meds. I'm down to discuss booking outside of my listed availability as well. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I'd love to know: - Walk/meal frequency - Medications/History - Triggers - Likes/dislikes - Energy level As a student I have a really flexible schedule and can accommodate the needs of you and your pets. I can schedule outside of my listed availability with a little bit of notice! I think it's really important to meet my new animal friends where they're at and match their pace until they're completely comfortable with me. Please let me know their preferences so we can be fast friends!

About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)

About: Hello! I have been consistently house/dog sitting since 2023. I have experience in watching dogs from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I previously have watched three dogs at a time, so if you have more than one dog that is no problem. I also have experience in providing dogs with medications needed throughout the day. This includes insulin shots and capsules/pills mixed into their food. While you are away I prefer to keep the dog in its original home rather than hosting your dog. I do require a meet & greet before services. This is for my safety alongside for you and your puppies comfortability with my presence. Beyond all else it’s important to me that your dog stays comfortable. I have cared for anxious, storm scared, epileptic, loud barkers, and jumpy puppies. It’s important to me that you communicate your animals behavior or traits so I can care to the best of my ability. Without a doubt I will accommodate to your dogs feeding requirements and potty breaks. Alongside that give them lots of cuddles, kisses, playtime, and walks. As for you… I will communicate how your puppy is doing, when I arrive, if any complications arise, and send photos! Your dog is in safe hands. I currently work at a coffee shop a few times a week! My hours usually range from 4-5 hours. So it’s never long enough to leave your puppy for long periods of time. I will always honor your puppies scheduled eating times and potty breaks throughout the day! Pets are so so important! As a caregiver, I want to relieve your stress and allow you to know that your pets are in safe hands! If you would be so kind to welcome me into your home, I can take care of them there. I would prefer to keep your animals where they feel most comfortable. A fenced in backyard is preferred, but taking them out on a walk is no hassle! Provide me with all of the important details on your puppy, and I can provide service towards them! ❤️

He has walked my dog multiple times and has done an amazing job! He was super flexible the whole time and was able to adjust the walk time every time I had a change in schedule. He was also super good about communicating (running early, running a little late, etc.) and took multiple really cute pictures of my pup every time Jarrett walked him. My pup also seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lauderdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lauderdale on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,701 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lauderdale. 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 Lauderdale. 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 Lauderdale.

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 Lauderdale. On Rover:

  • 92% 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 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.
