About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.
About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings and some days I work second shift, so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.
“Yascha has been doing regular walks with our dogs for a few weeks now. Dogs are super excited when he arrives. Yascha has been very responsive and has been accommodating to all requests (harness type, protective dog clothing in inclimate weather, wiping dogs feet etc). Would definitely recommend Yascha!”
“I booked Shannon for a dog walk and was very happy with her service! Shannon was very responsive, open about her schedule, and worked with me to ensure my dogs needs were met. She took the time to meet and get to know my fur babies and showed that she truly cares. Shannon was a great with Roxy and Burton and we plan to continue working with Shannon in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Megan was such an absolute blessing to our little family this week! She was punctual, a great communicator, and most importantly loved on our dog the way that we would! We will absolutely be hiring Megan in the future and feel so lucky to have her! As a mama to a shy dog my nerves were completely calmed ✨🐶🏡”
“We really like working with Kelley as our dog walker the last couple weeks. This was our first time using Rover and Kelley's come over almost daily to take our puppy on a walk while he's recovering from an illness. She's been great to work with! She's very communicative about their walks and i love that she takes pictures of him while they're out and about. I can tell she really has a passion for pets and truly cares deeply for them. Thank you Kelley!!”
“Mia is responsive, caring, and reliable. I have booked Mia for dog walks, and I fully trust her to care and love for my 2 dogs while I'm at work. She truly cares and loves dogs and I'm lucky to have snagged her for Roxy and Burton. I highly recommend!”
About: Ive taken care of pets for friends and family across all sorts of breeds, species, and ages. I have years of experience owning a senior dog, and understand just how much our fuzzy friends mean to us. I currently work a super flexible job as a substitute teacher, and can make nearly any time you need work! Im guaranteed to be availible weekends and week nights, and will make more time if you are able to give me notice. I am keenly aware of the environment around me, as well as the lovable friends that inhabit it. I can quickly observe and react to their behaviors, and meet their needs with no delays.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve had dogs and all kinds of small animals since I was very young, and I genuinely can’t imagine life without them. When I’m not spending time with my own pets, I’m usually caring for someone else’s—whether that’s pet sitting for friends and family or working my full-time job caring for horses. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. After all, I’m here to be your pet’s professional best friend! I’m available every day from 9:00am-8:00pm for drop-ins and walkings. I may be available earlier or later on weekdays and possibly on weekends depending on my schedule. I’m able to feed/water your pet, let them out into a fenced backyard, play with them inside or outside the house, provide minimal grooming, administer medications, and take them on a walk. I also may be able to stop by multiple times a day depending on the time.
“Super glad I found Sophia! This was my first time leaving Tucker overnight using Rover and it was reassuring knowing I left my fur baby in good hands. Loved the photos! I would definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with dogs! Whether it be friends or family, I was always offering walks, baths, or even long hikes. I have experience with all stages of life! My current dog was a puppy when we got him, so puppies are my jam! My previous dog had varying health issues, so I have experience with older dogs that may need a little more help than others. I've got a healthy amount of experience with all different types of dogs. Regardless of their size, I assure you that the dogs in my care will have a blast no matter what we do. I’m a college student at the University of Minnesota Duluth, so I have lots of time to get out and about with your pups! I’d love to have more companions to walk with me. Since I am not offering in-home service, as I am a college student living with other students, I hope you can find the provider you need!

Sarah walked my two dogs weekly for 6 months and did a great job. She showed up when it was cold and took great care of the dogs. Her communication was great too, letting me know if she couldn’t make it, which was rare. Sarah is very trustworthy and great with the dogs.

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 Farmington. 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 .
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.
