“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 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 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'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: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. I currently specialize in pets with special needs: 🦴 Seniors 🦴 Deaf/blind 🦴 Rescues/Trauma informed care 🦴 Medication administration Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority. I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.
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've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.
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.
“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”
About: I am dependable and fun animal lover with over 10 years experience pet sitting and dog walking. I’ve cared for newly adopted puppies and kitties, as well as senior animals, and every age in between. I’m experienced in upholding strict training, feeding, exercise, and potty schedules, as well as administering medications and walking reactive dogs. I’m currently in grad school at the Humphrey School, with a pretty flexible schedule to meet your needs! I’m open to short-term, long-term, once off, or reoccurring gigs with your pets! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. Their safety is my top priority. I love to provide updates and photos as often as possible so you can be reassured your pet is happy and healthy while they wait for you to come home!
About: I’m a life long pet lover. Cats have always had my heart, but I grew up with big dogs, so am more than willing to meet your gentle giant! Ideally I can do home visits three times a day, in the morning, early evening and late evenings! However, my schedule is flexible and am open to discussing other times! I do not have the ability to take your pet into my home, but I will come to yours! I will treat your pet with care, I understand it can be scary for them to meet new people. I will also treat your space with the upmost respect and can tidy up pet related messes if need be. (Litter boxes, etc)
“Carley was amazing! She did a fantastic job taking care of my 85 pound German Wirehaired Pointer named Moose. She is always on time, super flexible, and went above and beyond with Moose. Her updates were thorough, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m recently unemployed and looking to get my steps in and earn some dollar tree money! I have experience running a BOOMING neighborhood dog walking business in the 90s! Also the proud owner of 1 Bombay cat. Not much specialized experience, but wide open availability to help at run of the mill drop ins and/or walks. Hope to meet you! Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives. Would love some weekly walking jobs (rather, my fitness app would love) I will follow your instructions and treat your family members how I treat my own! I am not well versed with special care but am willing to try and learn
“Amanda is the best! My girls or rescues and very people selective. She is so patient with them and really got them to warm up and come out of their shells. Definitely recommend for anyone with anxious or stressed dogs!”
About: I grew up raising cattle, goats, and horses. I have had pet dogs, cats, and fish all my life. I was a vet tech in my early twenties, and a milk goat and chicken owner in my thirties. My family and I currently live with and care for a dog, cats, and an indoor rabbit. I went through the AKC good citizen training with our current dog, and use only positive behavior strategies. I love all animals, and love to house sit and pet sit for friends and family. I am an elementary special education teacher and currently have the time to pet and house sit for more families in order to make extra income for my kids’ college fund. I am also a master gardener and love caring for plants as well as pets! I am an elementary special education teacher, so I have an open schedule during the summer, weekends, and holidays. I am able to give your pet the time and attention it deserves. I treat my pets as important and treasured members of the family. I promise to treat your pets the same as I treat mine. I take pet sitting very seriously, and will do my very best to make sure your family member is getting lots of love and attention and living its best life while you are away. I know I would want the same in a pet sitter!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
Marni was great with Logan! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly really cares about animals. Logan was comfortable with her and well taken care of, and it was nice knowing I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away. I’d definitely trust her with him again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring.
Tyler is an absolute dog lover, and it truly shows in the way he cares for Maple. He is extremely responsive, responsible, flexible, and always willing to go above and beyond to accommodate a request or help in any way he can. I can genuinely tell that Tyler thoroughly enjoys the time he spends with Maple, and knowing she is with him gives me complete peace of mind. I never have to worry when she’s in his care. I especially appreciate how thoughtful he is about making the right decisions and how he consistently keeps Maple’s safety and well-being at the top of his mind. I would give Tyler 5 stars without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, kind, compassionate, attentive, reliable, and supportive dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you so much, Tyler! We greatly appreciate all of your support and, most importantly, all the love and care you give our sweet Maple.
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!

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.

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.
