About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for many years and absolutely love getting to know each dogs unique personality. I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like their own! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and personalities! From playful puppies to older dogs who prefer a slower pace. I’ll take them on walks, play with them, give them cuddles, enrichment, and make sure they are comfortable while their owners are away! I understand that each dog is unique and has their own routine and boundaries! Since I work remote for my job, pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being active. I’m able to build walks, drop - ins, playtime and feeing into my daily schedule. I will do my best to follow your pets routine including preferred walk times, potty breaks, and feeding schedule! Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I pay close attention to body language, surroundings, and individual needs. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets secure on walks and never force interactions that make them uncomfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and will make sure space is clean comfy and secure!

“Jenny has been fantastic watching after my dog Sophie for the last couple of weeks while I was away. She really came through in a bind and added a last minute walk when a flight was cancelled and I had to leave earlier than expected. And she's gone above and beyond addressing some health problems Sophie has been experiencing. Daily updates and photos have put my mind at ease and it's clear Sophie trusts her and really enjoys her company. I would recommend Jenny to anyone and would absolutely call on her again when needed.”

About: I have had dogs all my life but I adopted my baby Oliver almost 5 years ago and I have devoted my life to being a dog mom since! My husband and I would love to open our home to your fur babies and Oliver would love having a friend to play with! I currently work from home and we have a fenced in yard where our dog has free rein and can go in and out as he pleases. For exercise we go on walks around the neighborhood and special occasions we venture to the Dog Park! Treats and toys consume my house and our dog loves to play with other dogs of all sizes and would love to share! I currently work from home so our schedule is very open and flexible! I am able to accommodate the schedule your pup is used to! We have a fenced in yard and a crate available for use if requested! We like to know things that may be specific to your pup that needs to stay out of reach and we will accommodate.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a young teenager. I truly enjoy getting to care for pets even though I’m not quite ready for one of my own while I’m in school. I have experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from skilled leash walkers to the more enthusiastic ones, and I love them all the same. I am currently in medical school on various rotations. I work 15 8-hour shifts per month. Outside of that, I am extremely flexible when it comes to meeting the needs of your pets! I live alone in an apartment that is pet-friendly. The complex itself is all side walks and there are many side yards for leashed walks and outside time. If pets are in my home I treat them as my own, which is like a beloved family member. Of course, I abide by the house rules of the owner if families have certain rules for their pets while in their own homes. For my walking services, I make sure to only walk in safe areas and am very self aware of my surroundings, making sure your dog is safe the entire time.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, fish, and other animals has given me a strong understanding of their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. As an experienced pet sitter, I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, maintaining routines, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs and personality to ensure they feel happy, secure, and well cared for. I am currently in online college working towards a degree in environmental science. Pet sitting is a good way for me to stay focused on school while still be able to work. In addition to caring for pets, I take pride in being clean, organized, and reliable. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and ensure it is clean and tidy when you return.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was young. Klaus + Anakin are my two 2 year old kittens (forever young). I am a firm believer that fur babies are family, too, and I will always provide my best care while you are away. That care may be anything from making sure they are fed and hydrated to running around and playing toys :) let’s not forget happily coexisting in each others’ space :) I do not have a preference on breed. My availability is flexible, feel free to contact me and we can figure something out! I work as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and am always willing to make time for fur babies. They deserve love and attention, too! Plus, I love some fur baby snuggles. :) I understand dogs (and cats) can take a moment to warm up to someone new. I will move at your fur baby’s pace, giving them the distance and time they need to get used to someone new in their life. I am a fan of a calm, relaxed approach to promote safety and trust :)

About: Even though I am currently without a pet, I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I grew up with large dogs as part of my family, and then smaller dogs and cats as an adult. My family and friends always call on me to help take care of their pets when at work or out of town. I am comfortable with all ages of pets and will follow all instructions given to make sure your pet is taken care of the same way you take care of them! I work remotely so have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily do walks during the day or work from other locations. Happy to help however I can! I do my absolute best to make sure your pet feels just as comfortable with me as they do when you are home. I am able to give medications, crate animals, prepare special meals, and do whatever else is needed for your pet. I absolutely love dogs and cats and want them to always feel happy and safe.

About: I've had dogs my whole life and love them! I helped my brother take care of his puppy when he was busy with medical school while I was in University. I also did Rover in University to dog walk and dog sit. I've had a senior dog as well and can gently care for them. Often dog sit for my friends too. I play soccer professionally here in Potsdam, so my schedule is not the typical work schedule. I have time early in the mornings in the weekdays, as well as after 7 most week night. We have breaks during the day from around 12-3 so can sometimes fit in a walk then too. We always have Tuesday off so that is my best day with most flexibility. I have a pet friendly apartment with a small porch but no back yard. To start, I am just offering walks but would like to add pet stay soon.

About: treat every pet like my own and tailor care to their unique needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, medication routines, and maintaining training and structure. I’m reliable, calm, and communicative, and I always send updates so pet parents feel confident and at ease. Pet care is a planned and consistent part of my routine. I schedule my days to prioritize feedings, walks, playtime, and companionship, and I’m flexible with evenings, overnights, and house sitting to maintain each pet’s normal routine. Care is never rushed. I care for pets the same way I’d want mine cared for with calm energy, patience, and consistency. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely, pay attention to behavior and comfort cues, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I’m very present during overnights and house sitting, keep spaces clean, and give each pet the right balance of attention, play, and quiet companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect.

Wednesdays/ Thursdays I work 8-2. Fridays I work 2-8. My Saturday schedule varies! I’m also a mom, so my daughter may occasionally be with me for walks or drop in visits. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care based on their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and anything else they need to feel comfortable.

It’s always nerve-racking when you have to find a last-minute dog sitter. Especially hiring someone you don’t know and probably do not have time to meet them. Well I can say that I am so happy that I had Alexandra take care of my pup while I was away. She accepted the last-minute appointment and I was quite pleased with her service. She was professional and a great communicator. She always informed me when she was on her way to my home and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her and I personally will be using her again when there is the need.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Silver Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Silver Lake is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 1,295 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Silver Lake. 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 Silver Lake. 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 Silver Lake 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 Silver Lake. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
