About: I’ve taken care of friends’ pets since I was young. I love all kinds of animals and love meeting new dogs. I like all kinds of pet personalities as well! I don’t have any pets of my own but I like helping pet owners on rover to fill my pet fix. I’m usually free evenings and weekends. I also work hybrid so my work schedule is flexible. I live in Minneapolis but am open to driving. I live near a dog park and have access to lots of dog friendly trails. I love staying active and being outside. Excited to meet you and your dog(s)!
“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: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.
“It was my first time using a dog walking service. Rover was seamless and Tanya was awesome. She was punctual and followed my instructions without a hitch. She kept me updated and sent cute pics which I really appreciated. I would use Rover and Tanya again without hesitation!”

About: I grew up in a household full of animals, caring for a husky, a German shepherd, three cats, two bunnies, and a hamster. This gave me hands-on experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and care requirements. I've also dog-sat numerous times, including for pets needing medication, which I have administered with care and precision. My background ensures I'm comfortable with diverse needs, from playful puppies to senior pets. I bring a nurturing approach, a deep understanding of animals, and a commitment to treating every pet like they're part of the family! I currently have a very open schedule, and can be at home most of the day. I would have lots of time to spend with your pup or kitty. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow the owner’s care instructions closely, ensuring their pet’s routine, diet, and exercise needs are met. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I provide companionship, regular walks or playtime, feeding, and medication administration if needed. I keep the home tidy and respect the client’s space, ensuring their pet is happy and well cared for in familiar surroundings.
“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate.

About: I’m a K9 trainer with six years of experience, including three years working professionally. I work with dogs every day and am Canine and Feline CPR certified. I also own an Australian Shepherd who excels in agility, games, and service dog tasks. Training and caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me, it’s my career and my passion, and I love being able to share that with others. I work full time doing K9 training and taking care of boarding dogs, but I still make time throughout the day to look after additional pets. My schedule is flexible, and I even have the option to bring dogs with me to work, giving them extra attention and enrichment. I make sure my own dog’s needs are met every day with activities that keep him happy and fulfilled, and I bring that same level of care to every client’s pet. I take the time to ensure each dog is comfortable, well cared for, and has their unique needs met. I truly enjoy meeting new dogs and learning their personalities and quirks, it’s one of the best parts of what I do.

About: I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties in my last 10 years. I can walk them, feed them (any allowed treats will be given), I can administer their medication. I also take care of kitties! I clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them and give them premium chin scratches! It fits perfectly. I love to create a routine with regular walks and form bonds with the kitties or puppies! I am not afraid of any breed, they are all puppies in my eyes. I make them as comfortable as possible, I treat them with respect and love. I always follow the directions provided by the owner to the letter!
About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, but I have a fairly flexible work schedule. My preference for pet care would be to mostly fit it in before and after work (my hours can usually be adjusted based on a pet's daily schedule), but I also have the flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day, if needed. I can also work from home if absolutely necessary, but I would not wish to do that frequently. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!

About: I have a passion for animals. Dog/house sitting is more than a job, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I am a very punctual and friendly person that you can rely on. I am a big proponent of picking up for your dog on walks & leaving your house cleaner than you left it. Nothing makes me happier then a wagging tale after a great walk.

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 Ham Lake. 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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
