About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.
About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s administering medications, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or taking them on long walks I am currently working mornings and evenings so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to play with your pet and taking long walks. I’ve done house sitting at others home and have respected all of their wishes with their pet and their home. It is better for pets to stay in their home so they are comfortable.
“Sophie has been walking our dog twice a week for the last few weeks and it’s been awesome! Sophie is always on time, is a strong communicator about what happened on the walks, and most importantly takes really good care of our dog. Our dog loves her and that makes me so happy. Thank you Sophie!”
“Robert is awesome and came over to walk my Winston on very short notice. My dog loves him and came back very happy! I highly recommend Robert for his animal expertise and professionalism!”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my household my entire life, I take care of them at home and also for many neighbors, and they continue to request my services. I love Animals I take car of the pets in our house and enjoy hanging out with them on a daily basis. I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.
“Tyler will continue to be my go to dog walker when I need help getting my 2 dogs their daily exercise. My pups are spoiled with daily outings , and dog park trips - we usually average 6-8 miles per day but often hit 10-12 miles once or twice every week…. with Tyler, I have peace of mind and confidence that my dogs will get a walk and the type of exercise they are accustomed to. They always return content , satisfied and most importantly exhausted! Thanks again Tyler!”
About: I have grown up around pets all of my life, having had multiple dogs and cats throughout. As a teenager, I would be trusted by neighbors to sit multiple pets at a time while they went on vacation. More than that, I am familiar with senior pet care and administering oral medicine. I am currently working part-time so I am available and ready to handle pet care most days of the week, including weekends. More, I am able to do early morning and late night care. I can create a safe environment for your pet by finding their comfort and acknowledging what they need within the home. Likewise, on walks, I am able to handle large dogs and other animal contact, making sure your pet stays safe in my care.
About: As a college student working from home, I offer a flexible and caring pet care service tailored to your furry friend's needs. With a lifetime of experience owning dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments, including seniors, I'm comfortable with any number of animals. I'm particularly familiar with breeds like Boxers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Having cared for dogs with allergies, I'm very sensitive to dietary needs and restrictions. Plus, my flexible work-from-home schedule means I can accommodate almost any request. I have a history of leaving furry friends sad to see me go, and I promise to give your pet the same love and attention! I work from home and it is a very flexible job so I can provide service services at pretty much anytime any day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, medical needs, and dietary instructions to ensure a stress-free environment. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and communicate exclusively through the Rover app to keep all details secure.
“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”
“Happy Valentine's Day to Cindy and Eli! So excited that my shy, territorial, protective guy has made a new friend and is happy have Cindy come into his space. This opens up lots of new possibilities for us, thanks to Cindy's patience and intuition for how to keep a cattle dog comfortable.”
“Gretchen is the best! She accommodates our last minute requests, is flexible with our schedule and takes such good care of our dog, Ruby. Ruby is very high energy and she always comes back tired and happy from her walks with Gretchen. She loves loves loves her time with Gretchen and our lives have become simpler knowing we have a great option to come be with Ruby.”
About: Growing up with a deep love for animals, I expanded this passion by actively fostering rescue dogs in Minneapolis and providing advanced, dedicated medical support for my own dog’s complex physical therapy and medication needs. Today, as an LPN and advancing nursing student, I channel that same profound empathy and vigilance into human healthcare. My unique blend of frontline clinical experience and intuitive, lifelong animal care has taught me how to anticipate needs, manage intricate treatment plans, and comfort those who are vulnerable with unwavering patience and kindness. I currently work part time and am going to school full time. I have Wednesdays and Thursdays open for walking your pup or drop ins for cats. I can do doggy day care Thursdays and Sundays, where I will be home all day. When providing dog walking and drop-in services in your home, my top priority is keeping your pets safe, happy, and on their comfortable, established routines. I combine my medical background with my rescue experience to deliver structured care that respects both your home and your pet's unique needs. During dog walking visits, safety is my absolute focus. I always double check leash setups, monitor pavement temperatures to protect sensitive paws, and use my rescue experience to handle strong or reactive dogs calmly around neighborhood distractions. For drop in visits, I tailor my approach entirely to your pet's personality, offering high energy playtime for active dogs or quiet, respectful companionship for independent cats. In addition to standard feeding, water refills, and litter box scooping, my nursing training allows me to easily administer required medications or monitor subtle health changes. Before leaving, I ensure your pet is secure, your home is fully locked, and a detailed photo update is sent straight to your phone.
“Molly did a wonderful job walking our pups while we were out of town! We appreciated how punctual and communicative she was, sending us lots of pictures each time she visited. We could tell she gave the dogs lots of TLC and was very attentive to each of their different needs (one dog is a young energetic pup and the other is much older and low key). We’d absolutely work with her again!”
“We were so happy to have Abby walk our dog. She was prompt, took her on a great 2 mile walk (thanks for the pics!), and even fed her dinner and let her outside one last time before she left. We will definitely use her again! 😉 🐾”
About: I've dedicated most of my life to the care of animals in my life as well as others! I currently take care of my at home pets that includes fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, a cat and many pet bug friends. Nothing has ever fazed me when it comes to behavior or health, I've worked at PetSmart, Petco, vet clinics, with lab animals, as well as most recently I worked at SeaQuest taking care of the various animals there (including otters, wallabies, and sloths!). I know how to administer any meds/supplements and can help train and bathe pets as well. I dedicate all of my time to pet care, whether it's my own pets or others. I have no other obligations or distractions from pet care and look forward to enriching more pets' lives! I do daily checks on each of my own pets in my home as well as client pets to ensure nothing has changed and there aren't any concerns that may pop up, as well as monitor any outdoor time in clients home, with or without a fence. I ensure no foreign/dangerous objects are within reach to be eaten and when not in a fenced in yard, ALWAYS have the pet leashed unless owners have trained and informed me their pet is capable of off leash. I am also aware of all local vets, both emergency and regular.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
We hired Eleni to walk our dog, Bowser, while we were out of town and the friend watching him at night worked all day. When we discovered an 8 week old puppy under a car days before our trip, we scrambled on what to do. Eleni was more than happy to add her to the booking and spend extra time with her after the daily walks. The photos and updates were great, and we will definitely hire Eleni again in the future!
I maybe have left a review before but what's the harm in another! My pup is a little bit of a nervous girl and Haley has been very patient with her. Haley takes great care of my pup during, before and after their walks! And the updates I get from Haley about my dog are great!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Falcon Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Falcon Heights.

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 Falcon Heights. 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
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 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.
