“This is the first time we have used Chris. It's always stressful to go out of town and leave your furry kids at home but she put our minds at ease. The boys gave her 5 stars and so will we. We will definitely use her again!”
“Courtney is great. A chill and gentle soul who is easy to connect with. Lettie (the dog) is at ease and comfortable with Courtney. I’m thrilled to have found her as she’s been a lifesaver while I am out of commission with a busted knee.”

About: I love meeting new animals and will take great care of yours! I have experience walking dogs and doing cat check-ins, and also providing day care for dogs. I am happy to discuss with you any specific needs your animal may need. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to ensure they get plenty of potty breaks, have fun, get exercise, and are cared for while you're away. I will make sure to be careful with your dog and cautious while taking them on walks or to the dog park to ensure they don't get hurt or in any type of danger.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
About: I have taken care of dogs and other animals since I was eight years old, but I have been doing it professionally since I was fourteen and have been doing it through rover for eight years. I’ve owned and watched different animals throughout my life, including cats and dogs of all ages, ferrets, rabbits, fish, reptiles, and birds. I’m an avid lover of them and am currently studying animal behavior and wildlife biology. Treats, toys, and enrichment of every kind can be found here! I am able to administer oral medication and am pet CPR certified, always on my toes to help keep your family member happy and healthy. I am currently attending Inver Hills Community College and am there from 8am to 4pm daily, with the exception of Thursdays being from 12pm to 2:30pm. I am available for drop-in appointments later in the day, and am available for house sitting on weekends or for pets that are okay with being left alone for that long. I have a fully fenced in backyard and if the weather permits I keep the door to the yard open all day, allowing your dogs to come and go as they please. Any other animal is housed in my basement, where I keep the screen door shut but open the glass door so they can have fresh air. I have geckos myself and so any reptiles will be expertly cared for and kept away from any stressors by remaining in my room, keeping them safe and happy. If I house sit, I treat your home with the utmost respect. Directions are followed to detail, and pets are loved just as much as they would be at my own place.
About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.
About: Home full-time, active outdoors person, and love making dogs a part of my lifestyle! I have a young golden retriever who loves companions and is good with dogs of all sizes, and older one who is slightly more selective, but we stay very active! I will love your pet as my own, give them all the love, attention and activity they need. I will cater to you and your pet's needs to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I currently work remote and on my own schedule - so drop-ins and dogs walks can fit well into my flexible schedule. I rise with the sun and like to stay active during the day! Like my own. They will be well cared for, well exercised and I’ll be sure to provide interaction, play and stimulation while you are away!
“Leah has become Arlo’s buddy in no time! He gets excited to hear she’s coming for a walk. We’re happy with Leah as well. She responds very quickly and has helped us out with last minute booking. I’m very very happy with Leah!”
About: I've always been a huge animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I've cared for many pets for family and friends over the years, from energetic puppies who love to play to older pets who just want some extra attention and cuddles. While I was in college, I also spent time volunteering at an animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all different personalities and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, or just relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I recently graduated from college and have a pretty flexible schedule right now. I’m currently applying for jobs, but that gives me plenty of time to spend with and care for your pets! I’m happy to work around my other responsibilities to meet your pet’s needs and make sure they get lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. When caring for pets, I always try to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I'm in your home or spending time with your pet throughout the day, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and, of course, lots of love.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs—a Cocker Spaniel and a Bulldog—who keep life fun, active, and full of love. Over the years, I've gained experience raising two puppies of different breeds, giving me a strong understanding of puppy care, training consistency, socialization, and the patience that young dogs need as they grow and learn. I've also cared for senior dogs, including administering medications and accommodating age-related mobility and health needs. In addition, I have experience working with special-needs and disabled dogs, and I understand the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care tailored to each dog's unique situation. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a caring companion, I'll make sure they receive the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved—just like they do with you. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets! I am currently not working a set schedule so I have plenty of time for all of your pet care needs! I can do house sitting, dog walking and drop ins on any day of the week. When I stay in someone’s home to care for their pet, I will treat it with the upmost respect, leaving it better than I found it. I am clean, respectful and responsible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Last-minute request, and Renee arrived promptly. During the walk, Riley decided she wanted to go home, so Renee graciously accommodated her by bringing her back instead of forcing her to continue. Renee offered a full refund and apologized sincerely, but I declined. Riley has separation anxiety, and if she isn't comfortable walking, that's her choice. Renee did an excellent job, was very friendly, and Riley warmed up to her right away. I will definitely request Renee for future walks and recommend her to anyone seeking pet care services.
Courtney was wonderful! She is reliable and professional. My dog appeared to really enjoy his walks with her and it put me at ease knowing he was getting good exercise while I was away. I would rebook with Courtney anytime! I also appreciated the updates and multiple pictures.
Bonnie and Kris are excellent with dogs! Gracie loves them both. They go above and beyond. They put Gracie's harness on and hook her up at the end. They leave little notes and send pictures on the walk. Both are kind and loving people. You couldn't ask for a better Rover friend for your pets!
I requested Sheryl's services for dog walking for 9 days on rather short notice. I needed help walking our dog because of a recent surgery. She quickly responded that she could accommodate my request. She greeted our dog Amiera each day with lots of affection and care and I could tell she really enjoyed being with her. Amiera came back happy and relaxed after each walk. Sheryl is organized, thoughtful and friendly and a very caring person who also showed compassion for me post surgery. But most of all she provided reliable and knowledgeable care for our dog, which gave me a lot of comfort and peace of mind. Sheryl is also flexible and accommodating with her schedule. She really loves what she does. We'll definitely use Sheryl again in the future. Thank you, Sheryl!
Seriously the best! She took great care of my dog for me while I was at work, quickly responsive, very detailed notes after every walk! She goes above and beyond with care and communication. Always made sure his food and water dish was full and even helped on short notice walks when we needed! Highly recommend!

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 Apple Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apple Valley. 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

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.
