I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member! Thank you again for everything! 🐾💛

Magda is absolutely fabulous. She has helped me a couple of different times now. A last minute trip came up and I couldn't get anyone to stay with bandit. She offered to come morning, afternoon, and evening to make sure that my Bandit wasn't lonely. She fed him, played with him, walked him, and sent me pictures. I would definitely recommend her. Very reliable.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter who treats every pup like part of the family. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, exercised, and loved—while keeping you updated and worry-free. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities—from couch potatoes to zoomie champions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, leash manners, and sticking closely to your dog’s usual schedule. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or all of the above, I adjust to what they need. You can expect: • Lots of one-on-one attention • Regular photo and video updates • Respect for your home and your rules • Clear, prompt communication • A sitter who actually enjoys hanging out with your dog I understand dogs communicate in their own ways, and I’m patient with shy pups, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra care. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. If you’re looking for someone dependable, calm, and genuinely dog-obsessed, I’d love to help care for your pup while you’re away. I am a dog Mom of 3 (small, medium, & large LOL) with a strong support system at home allowing me to assist you with your dog sitting needs. Having recently resigned from a very stressful corporate America role, I am ready for a meaningful, positive experience that gets me excited to go to work and take the best care of your fur babies having 3 spoiled pups of my own. I also have several years of experience with cat care for my neighbors who travel often. Keeping pets on schedule is very important to me and my pups. Following client instructions regarding feeding times, walks or time in the yard, applicable medications and/or treats, playtime, bedtime or whatever is needed for the best experience for the owner & pet!

I am responsible, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels happy and secure while in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they receive the attention they need. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities.

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe and happy while they are away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and patience I give every pet. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether that means keeping up with feeding schedules, going on walks, providing playtime, giving extra attention to senior pets, or simply offering companionship and comfort, I believe every pet deserves personalized care. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to the little details that make pets feel happy and secure. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m committed to following your instructions carefully while making sure your pet feels at home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved and cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited for the opportunity to build trust with families and create a positive experience for both you and your pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. I’m able to dedicate time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and providing companionship while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I live in a house with a backyard. Big space for your pup to run around in. I provide a calm and welcoming space where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adjust my care based on their energy level, age, habits, and personality.

She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that Murci really enjoyed his time with her. I’m sure he’s going to miss her (and so will we!). Thank you, Genesis, for walking and caring for him with so much love. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals, including dogs and horses, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, medications, and providing attentive, calm companionship. My background as a registered nurse has also strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to stay attentive to each pet’s individual needs and comfort. As a nurse with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and occasional last-minute bookings when available. Recent empty nesters. We have a yard and a pool on the property. The pool is not fenced, so pets are always supervised closely when outdoors. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure each dog is monitored at all times and cared for according to their routine and comfort level.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I’m very patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. Each day includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, training, and health checks, with weekly grooming, cleaning, and restocking supplies. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, keep spaces clean and secure, and communicate regularly with owners to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home or theirs.

About: Lover of all animals and things “friend-shaped.” I have 3 family dogs and adopted my cat, Venus, 5 years ago. I’ve grown up my entire life with at least 2 dogs in the home at the same time, and the most being 6. My family began rescuing pit bulls in 2007, so growing up with dogs, especially large ones, allows me to feel extremely comfortable around them and understand their body language. I have lived with dogs of all sizes and have lived with multiple cats at time. I would love to help you feel comforted while you are away from home, by knowing that your pet(s) is/are in loving and careful hands. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am currently working a part-time, completely remote and flexible job, so I would be able to work around your schedule fully. Just let me know. I can adapt to any requirements necessary for your dog/cat. For dogs, I would prefer to walk them with a harness rather than just a collar. I can take your cat on a walk too, if they are comfortable with it—either with a well-fit harness, cat backpack, or stroller. I would like to learn about your pet beforehand to understand any specific details about them. For example, I have a dog who doesn’t like when people touch his ears, but I have another that loves it. My cat, Venus, loves to be held, but one of my old roommate’s cats, Sage, did not. General information like that.

She was great. She immediately bonded with my little pug and vice versa. He rolled over for a belly rub right away, which is his way of saying I like you and I trust you. He rarely does that for people he doesn't know.

About: I have an older cat who means the world to me, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. Since I work from home, your cat will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also make it a priority to send regular updates and photos because I know how reassuring they are. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m around throughout the day for feedings, playtime, litter box care, and companionship, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. I live in a clean, calm condo and prioritize safety at all times. I keep doors and windows secure, maintain a pet-friendly environment, and closely follow each pet’s routine and instructions.

About: With my professional background as a Certified Veterinary Technician, I offer a level of care that goes beyond standard pet sitting. My experience spans the entire spectrum of animal companionship—from high-energy dogs and senior cats to specialized exotic species. Whether your pet has feathers, scales, or fur, I bring a clinical eye and a genuine passion for animal welfare to every visit. Expertise Across Species Canine Care: Experienced with all life stages, from providing structured puppy socialization and high-energy exercise to managing the gentle, slow-paced needs of senior dogs. Feline Wellness: Specialized in stress-free handling, maintaining strict environmental routines, and providing the patient, quiet companionship that cats thrive on. Exotic & Specialty Pets: I am highly proficient in the technical care required for reptiles (including chameleons and tortoises) and invertebrates (like tailless whip scorpions). I understand the critical importance of UVB gradients, humidity control, and bioactive substrate management. Medical & Dietary Management: My clinical training means I am fully comfortable administering oral, topical, or injectable medications and following complex, high-protein dietary plans or specialized medical recovery protocols. My Approach to In-Home Care I believe pets are happiest when their routines remain unchanged. During my visits, I focus on: Nose-to-Tail Wellness Checks: Monitoring behavior, appetite, and mobility to catch any subtle health changes early. Environment Maintenance: Ensuring habitats are clean, water is fresh, and your home remains secure. Enrichment: Providing mental and physical stimulation tailored to your pet's specific species and personality. Reliable & Centralized Scheduling I work full-time at a local animal hospital and have centralized my service area nearby to ensure I can be as responsive as possible. Daily Availability: I am available for early morning and late evening visits on my work days. Midday Support: I utilize my lunch breaks for local drop-ins, providing a much-needed break for your pets while I'm between clinical shifts. Full-Day Dedication: On my days off, I have maximum flexibility for deeper habitat cleanings, longer walks, and extended one-on-one time. I treat every pet with the same professional diligence and affection I give my own animals. I look forward to meeting your unique family and providing them with the expert care they deserve! Here is how I can fit into your pet's schedule: Work Days: I am available for early morning or late evening visits. Midday Check-ins: I typically have a lunch break and love to use that time to help out local clients. While my clinical schedule requires a little flexibility for emergencies, I do my best to accommodate midday potty breaks or feedings. Days Off: My schedule is very flexible, allowing for extended playtime, long walks, or specialized habitat maintenance. Because of my hospital rotation, I generally work best with a bit of advanced notice, but I will always do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible. I look forward to giving your pets the professional, loving care they deserve! Medical & Senior Support: Expert administration of oral, topical, or injectable medications and monitoring for any health changes. Specialized Care: Full comfort with exotic species—including reptiles and invertebrates—ensuring precise lighting, humidity, and feeding requirements are met. Puppy & High-Energy Care: Engaging play sessions and potty breaks to keep your active pets stimulated and happy. Standard Essentials: Fresh water, high-protein meal prep (if requested), litter box maintenance, and habitat cleaning.

We met destiny the day before Rocky was scheduled for his walks. She was extremely kind, professional, and punctual. For the following 3 days he had walks scheduled and she gave me fabulous and thorough updates on how he was doing! I’ll definitely be using her again and it was good knowing my baby boy was in good, caring hands!

Bianca did an amazing job! She is by far the best and most professional sitter I’ve used on the app so far. Seeing her level of care makes it completely clear why she has over 100 repeat clients. She was incredibly punctual, consistent, and trustworthy, taking absolute best care of all my animals. I asked for updates and she was very thorough with hers which gave me complete peace of mind. Every single day, she made sure to give my dog dedicated playtime at home, all while still taking her on a full 1/2-mile walk around my block as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care!

From the very beginning, she treated them like they were her own showing genuine love, attention, and patience. She kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Lauderdale Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Lauderdale Lakes on Rover is $25.53 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 7,683 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lauderdale Lakes. 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 Lakes. 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 Lakes.

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 Lakes. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
