About: I have worked at a Veterinary Clinic in boarding and daycare for 4 years and have been dog sitting for about 2 years. I recently became a Veterinary Assistant about 5 months ago, and I am currently attending clesses to become a Veterinary Technician. I know how to care for animals including tasks like feedings, walks, medications, and more. I hope to become a Veterinarian myself one day! I love being around animals especially dogs, and I would love to help care for your pet! I currently am working part time at the Lodi Vet Clinic so I would very easily be able to check in on your pets around my schedule I will take great care of your pets in the comfort of your own home, and I am very open to specific requests such as extra long walks etc.
“Tricia has been wonderful with Cinco! We were a little nervous about hiring a dog walker for the first time, but Tricia immediately made us feel comfortable. She took the time to get to know Cinco, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and has been incredibly patient about letting Cinco set the pace and build trust with her. Cinco can be reactive to other dogs and can also be nervous around loud noises, so finding someone we trusted to walk her was very important to us. Tricia pays attention to her cues and adjusts the walk when Cinco is uncomfortable rather than pushing her. After only two visits, Cinco was already excited to see her! Tricia is also a great communicator and clearly cares about making sure both Cinco and we are comfortable. We feel very lucky to have found her and are looking forward to having her continue walking Cinco. Highly recommend!”

I am willing to provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your dog. I can be active with your pet or sit with them and love them up. Whatever you need, I can provide.

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing outside, or just keeping them company at home. I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m especially happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, communicative, and will treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I’d want someone to give mine. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, and care routines, and I’ll always keep you updated while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and schedule! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and a previous pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets! My 10 year old golden retriever passed away recently and I am looking for ways to still have a connection to animals without her. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and love spending time outdoors, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or exploring new places. I live an active lifestyle and am happy to accommodate pets with different energy levels and personalities. My background in healthcare and emergency services has also taught me to be responsible, attentive, patient, and calm under pressure. I currently work fulltime Mon-Fri. My schedule is flexible and I work from home most of the week. I am able to do drop in visits during the day as well as provide care in the mornings and at night. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. With my background in healthcare and emergency services, I am comfortable staying calm under pressure and recognizing when something may not be right. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and pictures while your furry family member is in my care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home and that you have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. My Dad went to school to be a Veterinarian, so we have always been around different animals. I have two cats at home, and recently just lost my beloved dog, Lexi! I currently work as a flight instructor so my schedule is very flexible! I typically start later in the day or early in the morning. Plenty of time to help out!! I can walk, feed, clean-up after any pets. I have no preference, little, big, cats and dogs. I am able to understand pets all have very special needs and want to fulfill those.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 10+ years, and have two of my very own! I am extremely passionate about my love for dogs, and would love to be able to meet more and help you out! I currently work from home doing social media and marketing, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. Once June starts, my Tuesday and Thursday nights are full from about 3-8 but can always let your dog out before and/or after! Once end of August hits I head back to school in Madison, WI! I care for pets very deeply. I believe that all pets deserve the best life they can possibly live. My two dogs are taken on at least 1-2 walks a day, while getting play time in our back yard. Exercise is extremely important to dogs, as well as chill time:)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lodi is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $26 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 1,340 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lodi. 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 Lodi. 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 Lodi 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 Lodi. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
