“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”
“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: I have always been an animal lover. I enjoy being outside and getting exercise, and love four-legged companions to keep me going! I am patient and kind. I have worked at a vet clinic for 9 years. I am consistent and reliable. I have reliable transportation. I can cater to each dog and cat based on their needs, wants, age, limitations, etc. I have yet to find an animal I don't love, and enjoy helping others and keeping costs low. I know boarding can get expensive, so hopefully I can alleviate some of the financial strain while keeping your pet happy! Recent grad from the college of veterinary medicine at the university of Minnesota. I have worked at the vet clinic at the U for 9 years and volunteer and foster for a rescue that takes in senior cases. I am generally unavailable 8a-6p Tuesday through Friday (excluding holidays). I will follow any and all rules to keep your pet happy and healthy. I can walk pets on a leash, observe in a fenced in area, or play inside.
About: I worked on a few farms growing up and don’t remember a time where I didn’t have a few pets! Love any and all animals I go to school only twice a week so fitting care into my schedule is very easy! I will always make time for animals and their care Of course I will offer playtime and cuddles if they want that! Also will make sure they get their steps in if needed and all the energy out!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house. I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses
About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.
“I really appreciated Gabby‘s willingness to walk my dog in the rain. It’s so difficult sometimes to get my dog out when the weather is not cooperating so this was awesome :-)”
About: All dogs are good dogs! I am currently without a pet. I have experience with a puppy, a senior dog, a dog with epilepsy, a husky-cross, an aggressive dog and dogs that are shy/fearful as well. I work from home everyday except Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from approximately 1-5. I am otherwise rarely gone more than 2 hours when your dog is here. I will welcome your dog in for play and cuddling! (and of course, squirrel and rabbit patrol) I will sometimes keep a dog tethered to me to walk them through the house and for the first 30-60 minutes while everyone gets settled. I find this makes your dog feel safe and understand I am the boss. I especially welcome large dogs! Dogs go out in the backyard before work and in am. Walk (or backyard time)around noon-1 weather permitting. Longer walk after work. I can feed on your schedule. I have a very large wire crate if your dog needs that. I have a fenced yard and well behaved dogs have the run of the house after they settle in. I keep them in the same room I am in upon arrival - sometimes with their leash on if they seem nervous.
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.
About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. House-sitting • I usually do NOT stay at clients homes overnight or for extended periods during the day! • I will check in with your pets in the AM/PM (as needed) and follow their routines so their schedule is consistent, and provide photos throughout the stay. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.
About: I adore watching furry friends. I enjoy walking, grooming and giving pets. I am a thorough caring petsitter. I can't wait to meet your fam. I work a split shift M-F, so I have ample time to care for your furry fam in between shifts and even more flexible on the weekends. I commute by bike, so I am unable to travel far from Saint Paul. For housesitting, I follow the pets feeding, grooming and recreation routines closely. It is fun for me to learn individual needs (ie. closing toilet bowls, not letting animals in certain spaces, etc.) When walking, I look for signs of anxiety and stress to understand what the dog needs/needs to be kept from. I make sure that the areas I work in with pets are clean and safe for pets.
“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by many kinds of animals, which has given me a broad understanding of their needs and behaviors. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine, and I always strive providing safe, loving, and attentive care. My experience has taught me how to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for every animal, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and well loved. I’ve trained puppies and had senior dogs. I will try my best to be available to your pet care needs! Shoot me a message so we can discuss your pet care needs :) I do also travel by bus at the moment, it should be no issue with the care of your pets at all! With experience with Cats/Dogs of my own, I provide loving, attentive care, keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine and treat every animal like family, whether in my home or theirs. Growing up with many pets, I’ve learned how to meet their unique needs. I ensure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for.
“Gillian always goes above and beyond when walking our dog Daisy! She takes time to send us great pictures and we know our dog is in excellent hands. Even when Daisy had a foot injury and activity restrictions, she easily applied her special boot without issue and made sure she was safe and comfortable. We book with Gillian whenever she is available. She’s the best!”
“Megan did a great job with my pup. She was willing to meet him first, and that always helps him feel more comfortable with people. She also was professional and transparent with communication and availability and I appreciated that.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me watching their pups while on vacation or even for a day! I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog parks. I’m very used to and love cuddly pups and pups that love to play! I am currently in college so I am unavailable until 1 pm every weekday, but my evenings and some weekends are open almost every week! I have an invisible fenced yard with 3 young pups who love to roam around and spend time in the yard, but we also have a leash put out just incase! I can easily wait outside with your pup while going potty, and easily put them in the crate if needed! My pups are allowed everywhere in the house, on furniture, sleep in beds, etc.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
After a morning of exercise before we left, Harley was being difficult for Ava, however, Ava was able to recognize the behavior and attitude of a dog she hadn’t met before. I am so thankful Ava had the knowledge and experience to deal with an issue I hardly see. I would recommend Ava to any dog owner!
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!

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 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 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 Falcon Heights 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 Falcon Heights. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
