About: I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs, and I’m doing this because I genuinely enjoy caring for them and meeting new furry friends. I’ve helped take care of puppies in my family, I currently have an elderly husky, and I’ve also had a very high-energy malamute, so I’m used to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. Since I have my own dog, I’m careful about making sure everyone is comfortable. My husky is older and spends most of the day sleeping and relaxing, and my multi-level home gives me the option to keep dogs separated if needed. I love to run, so I can tire your dog out! I’m an army veteran, so I take reliability and responsibility seriously, but I’m also just someone who really enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I do consulting and work from home on my own schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. Dogs staying with me can get regular potty breaks, attention, walks, yard time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust care based on each dog’s routine, energy level, and needs. In my home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, supervised, and safe. I have a fenced-in yard for outdoor time, and I can keep dogs separated if needed because I have a multi-level home. My own dog is an elderly husky who mostly likes to sleep and relax, but I’m still careful with introductions and making sure everyone has space. I follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, potty schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special needs or quirks.
“Meghann has taken my dog out multiple times. Today I came home from work and I noticed that she had cleaned up an accident that my dog had before Meghann arrived to let her out. I feel safe with her knowing where my house key is. She is also very responsive.”
“Amber was a pleasure to work with. She communicated even minor updates, cared so much that she cleaned up a small excitement piddle on the floor, and other things she noticed as things to be aware of. She was kind enough to also move a delivered package indoors for us. We absolutely look forward to future care with Amber as the need arises.”
About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.
About: Hello! I'm Kaity and I have 20+ years of professional dog training experience. I used to work inside the Federal Prisons in Minnesota teaching inmates how to raise and train service dogs for a local non-profit. I have was also the General Manager at a local pet food store where I educated pet parents daily about nutrition, care and everything in-between. Dogs are my true passion in life. I majored in Animal Science in college and went through a dog training school in North Carolina so I know all about how to handle your pets and make sure they are comfortable in my care. I own a border collie and a golden retriever who keep me on my toes. Dog training is something I no longer do full time as a career so I love being able to offer it to those that need it. I love working with puppies and teaching good habits and behaviors. I have taught dog training classes for over 10 years and enjoy one on one sessions so much more than a big class format so we can focus on exactly what your pup needs. I offer in person training sessions, virtual sessions, outings, as well as drop in training sessions where I work with your dog even if you aren't at home. Please reach out and we can look at a custom package that suits your needs. Thanks so much for checking out my profile, please take a look and send a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! Thanks! Kaity I have the most availability for training sessions on weeknight afternoons/evenings as I do have a full time job but I can sometimes make daytime work. I can also make weekends work as needed for sessions. I am not typically available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I take all the extra precautions like double-checking fences, keeping food put away, not leaving socks on the floor, and so much more. The trainer in me makes for a very careful dog sitter!
“Great communicator, was timely, and our mini poodle loved her - evident during the meet and greet. Walk went smoothly and she was able to get the pet gate up on the fly for us (it didn’t get put up that morning due to rushing out the door.”
About: As animal enthusiasts, your pets happiness and health is our passion! Your pet will receive personalized care and attention just as it does when home with you (no kenneling here). Walks, belly rubs, playing/chasing after balls, brushing, relaxing, all come with no extra charge! We understand how stressful a kennel environment can be on your pet, especially smaller and older dogs. Most often your dog will be the only dog that stays with us when visiting. I take special care in making sure the dogs are compatible. Even though we don't have a fenced in yard, your dog will be personally walked by me many times throughout the day. I know when your dog has gone to the bathroom and not left unsupervised outside for hours (or with other dogs). Why your Pet will love it here: -it's a calm/relaxed home environment, they will feel safe (no stress of other dogs) -they will get LOTS of attention all throughout the day (I'm home all day) and feel loved -same routine as home (feeding, walks, potty breaks) so they know what to expect We are animal lovers so we enjoy pet care, we have 3 cats. We enjoy having dogs visit and stay with us, it gives us the opportunity to help families who need care for their beloved pet and a chance for us to pamper a dog for a few days and enjoy them! We do not have any dogs so it’s most likely your dog will be the only one staying with us, we like calm, low key environments so your dog can be relaxed and feel safe.
About: I have been around/taking care of animals since I was 10. Huge passion of mine and deeply devoted. Many family/friends rely on me to look after their pets for days on end! I deal with puppies, sheltered, senior dogs etc! My goal is to keep your animal safe at all times, show love and ensure that everything is ok while you’re away I work full time and I would love to incorporate furry babies the second I can, let me show you! I am available 2pm and forward almost everyday and eager to spend time with some companions and give them the care they need. Upon meeting a dog, I start by showing that I am friendly and not a threat, and letting the animal take the lead and watching their behavior, especially cats. I let them get to know me before anything else.
About: I have grown up around dogs. I look after my neighbors dogs when they have a sporting event or vacation. I let their dog outside to go to the bathroom and when they are done I play with them for a little bit. I currently have three dogs, a black lab mix, a yellow lab mix and a papillon-jack russel. The papillon is my own and care for him everyday. I walk him, play with him and feed him. My schedule is open, so I am available when you need me to watch your pet. I am available any time of the day . My clients home normally have a fenced in yard and I do play with them so that they will get plenty of exercise. I can crate your pet if needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. As an adult I had my own two little furbabies (Lincoln and Jackson) for 12 and a half years until they went over the rainbow bridge in 2024. My little guys were a shorkie and a schnoodle so have experience with smaller breeds. They also had ailments so am experienced in administering pill medication (no injections). Looking forward to meeting your furbaby! I have a very flexible schedule during the weekdays and am available most weekends. I'm not available to have furry friends at my home but would be happy to stay with them in their favorite environment. PLEASE NOTE: I am able to house sit at your house full time but the price per night may increase if additional time and/or walks are requested during the day. Please reach out to discuss. I will take your dog(s) on walks, play fetch, snuggle or any other activities your pupper may need! I love giving our furry friends plenty of attention! 🐾
“I had never used a dog walking service before, but I was in a jam and needed help fast. Holly, Josh, and Grace came through and got me scheduled right away! My dog can be a handful with his crazy zoomies, but they handled him like pros. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands, getting the exercise and attention he needs while I’m at work. I’m so grateful for their flexibility and care—I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I have three goldendoodles, Sullie who’s 10, Allie who’s 5, and Marlie who’s 2. I have helped potty train them all and have taught them basic tricks. I have also cared for friends/families pets when in need. I love all animals and enjoy making them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medications, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to help. I’m currently a full-time nursing student and have a summer nurse internship working 12 hour shifts, but I have multiple days off throughout the week that allow me to spend quality time caring for pets. My schedule varies, so I keep my availability updated. When I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and dependable care! I always try to stick to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and stress free. In your home, I will provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, potty breaks, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well!
About: I’ve cared for my own pets, of course…BUT, I'm also the trusted person friends and neighbors turn to when they need help with watching their dogs. I'm a reliable, trustworthy, and responsible person who genuinely loves dogs. I've done a lot of training with my own dogs and have developed a strong understanding of their behaviors and communication. I have a flexible schedule so I can easily set up time to come to your home to do a let out, have play time, or walk your dog. When your pup is in my care they will receive plenty of love and affection, outside time, and exercise in a safe and comfortable environment. I will also send pictures and updates during their walk, let out, or stay with me. My schedule is flexible and I am able to be available for daytime or evening walks and let outs. I can usually work around your schedule or needs. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a friendly 6-year-old Labrador retriever who can keep your pup company too.

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

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.
