“We have had her walk our Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd twice now and we are totally impressed with her. We were nervous since she has never had anyone walk her before and she pretty scared of other people but she had no problem with Allison. I would recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Glen was great with my dog, who needs to have medication twice a day and can't walk very far due to a leg injury. He was also an excellent communicator and very professional! I'm grateful for his services and would definitely recommend him to anyone.”
“Amanda has been wonderful with my dog and came through last minute to help with walks when I couldn’t do them. Kind, reliable, communicates well, and Henry is always happy to see her. I always know he’s in good hands!”
“Jara walked out dog for several months while I was recovering from an injury. She was reliable and had great communication. Our dog loved her. We would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!
“Jessica was great! She was able to fit us in last minute to walk our dogs when we were out of town and it tired both of them out perfectly for our dog sitters. She’s very experienced and I appreciated the pictures and notes about how it all went. I will for sure book with her again!”
“Shannon did a great job with walking our dog, Keba. Keba was so excited to meet her! Although Keba was initially hesitant to walk away from the house with her, Shannon gave her a few of our dog treats and Keba happily walked along. The picture Shannon sent with Keba’s huge smile on her face says it all. I highly recommend Shannon for dog walking and connecting with your pup. We’ll definitely have Shannon walk Keba again.”
“Carla was fantastic. She came to my hotel while on vacation so Cuervo could get some exercise and attention while I did the tourist thing! She kept me updated with photos and texts and was flexible with scheduling. Highly recommended”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
About: Im currently a stay at home mother with two boys, we have a dog named sitka however he’s spending some time with his grandma in Wyoming. Use to volunteer as an animal foster parent for a short amount of time but within those few months I never went a day without a loving animal in my care. I was able to excel in pet care, nourish some with the medical help they needed or emotional support till they went to their new homes. I have a lot of free time on my hands even with my kids who loves to meet new fur friends! I want your baby to feel safe and sound while you’re away even just for a little while. We love to go out on walks since we’re cooped up in an apartment. Being a homemaker I’m definitely available majority of my day, I would love to fill in my free time watching or taking care of fur babies! I want not only the owners but pet to feel safe/ comfortable in the surrounding environment we are in. My goal is to make your pet feel home away from home! Even if it’s for only a short time! They will always be well taken care of and their needs/ wants will be met.
About: I walk dogs usually 3 or 4 times a day. Sometimes even 5. Depending on their age, fitness level, health etc. They absolutely love being outside rest assure your dog will not be lying around all day unless that is something you would like me to do. Also I have a absolutely fantastic dog park here. What's great is it's usually empty and the dogs can exercise at their own pace. Also I have a great walking path outside my complex and my neighborhood is perfect for dogs we could walk almost 2 miles without barely leaving the block. One thing I provide that other sitters don't is 24/7 companionship. The dogs and I get really attached to each other and we rarely leave each others side. I like to stay home I live alone and when we are not out 99% of the time we are together. I'm sure most of the sitters don't take the time to spend with your dog the way that I do. I'm excellent at communicating with Pictures, Text, and Details if that's your preference. I'm 60 years old and retired this is all I do. I can only handle a certain amount of dogs per month. I am a walker I walk well over 60 miles a month. I'm in a great neighborhood right around the block from the Eagan Outlets Stores. Thank you very much for your consideration. I am retired and this is my only job so I am available 24/7. I have 4 great walking paths outside without barely leaving the block. Very little traffic great neighborhood right by the Eagan Outlets Stores. As far as safety and environment I have a 300,000.00 insurance policy for all of our protection. I live in a excellent neighborhood right by the Eagan Outlets Stores.
About: My husband (Edgar) and I are lifelong pet owners (dogs, cats, a leopard gecko named Dottie etc.) with giving pets (young and old) safe, loving, and dependable care. We’re currently taking a break from having pets of our own. We miss the wagging tails, happy walks, and furry companionship, so we’d love the opportunity to care for and spoil your pets as if they were part of our family (getting all the love and attention!) We generally work from home Monday and Friday and my office is less than 10 minutes from home, so the days I work in office, I can swing home. We have a big yard to take your pet out, and we love to walk. Our jobs allow a lot of flexibility to stop home, if needed. We do not have a crate, but happy to crate.
“Charles has been absolutely amazing with our leash & stranger reactive dog Ollie. He has been patient and accommodating with us and now Ollie is excited to see him when they go on walks!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve breed fish, I’ve raised six puppies, I took care of three darling bearded dragons for a year, I work as a volunteer coordinator for the bond between, and I’ve even taken care of several dogs in hospice. I have genuinely loved animals all my life and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life, caring for and loving them so I hope you allow me to spend a little of my time caring for and loving your animals. I currently work part-time as a custom designer and actor as well as coordinating volunteer events for the bond between, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your lovely animals. A couple years ago I worked as an assistant dog trainer so I am very familiar with pet safety. I’ve also raised several puppies so I know how much they can get into stuff. I will always be keeping a careful watchful eye on any animals in the house as well as following any rules set in place by the owners and in case of any emergency, I’ve got a vet as a sister on speed dial.
About: What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience and medical knowledge. I’ve been dogsitting for 7 years, volunteered at animal shelters on and off for the past 4 years, and worked at a dog boarding facility and as a doggy day care attendant for about 1 year. I currently work as a vet assistant at an emergency clinic with almost 2.5 years of veterinary experience. I’m trained to spot early signs of pain, stress, or illness, stay calm in stressful situations, and handle medications and special needs. My biology degree with a psychology minor also helps me understand dog behavior, so I can read body language and help anxious or shy dogs feel safe. Owners can count on me for reliable updates and attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve dogsat for 7 years and work as a full time vet assistant at an ER clinic, so my schedule is consistent. I work 7am-7pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus a couple of rotating weekend shifts each pay period. I’m available on Mondays, Thursdays, and most weekends, and I can confirm exact dates in advance. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, medications, routines, and house rules, and I keep dogs safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I’m trained to notice signs of stress, pain, or illness, and I’ll update owners with photos and messages during the visit. I always leave the home clean and secure.
About: I have taken care of other's dogs, cats, and horses since I was about 11 years old, apart of taking care of my own pets. These connections where for neighbors, friends and family. Breeds have ranged to small dogs to large dogs. I was mainly responsible for feedings (any medications that were needed), walks, and yard/litter clean-up. I work remotely so I am able to be with the pets during the day with any walks during breaks if needed. I have 3 animals, 1 lovable dog and 2 kitties. I usually bring my dog out 4 times for potty and a walk daily. My husband and I also play with our cats daily as they need daily stimulation as well. I would treat your animals as they were my own. Again, I view client's animals as if they were my own. I make sure while you are away that your house is left comfortable and safe for each dog based on their individual needs. I aim to keep their routines the same while you are gone on your adventure!
About: I have one large energetic Aussie. He taught me a lot about how to work with dogs that have aggressive tendencies. I also know how to groom pets and give them baths even the ones that don't like water. I trained him to do many tricks as a puppy and worked with obedience. I love high energy dogs that need long walks/ playtime or runs. I am taking a gap semester and am available full time. I plan on trying out new things and seeing new places. My schedule is flexible and am just trying to navigate a new place. I take care of pets by taking them out for multiple walks per day, making sure they have water and food. Playing with them and giving overall care.
About: Hello, my name is Caitlyn! I am a positive and easy going 31-year-old. Hoping to find some part time work at the moment. I have lived within South Minneapolis for the past six years. I love all animals and would love to care for your little or big fur babies. I have been a cat owner myself for about 10 years. I have also dog/cat sat for many family and friends. I have long term dog sat for up to two weeks and have over night sat as well. I am available on weekends and nights. I also have my own transportation. I am just hoping to make a little extra money to help pay off student loans. I work a hybrid schedule where I go into the office twice a week. The rest of week and weekends I am always home and available for care. I have no pets in my home. I live in a small apartment building in a quiet residential neighborhood, with nearby parks and walking paths. I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I love animals and would love to provide trustworthy care for you and your pets!

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 Bloomington. 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
