About: I’m an experienced and lifelong animal caregiver with a strong background in caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up around dogs and have raised multiple pets from puppy and kitten stages through adulthood, giving me a solid understanding of animal behavior, socialization, and daily care needs. I have extensive hands-on experience with large-breed dogs, including my 150 lb Labrador, who I trained in obedience, leash manners, and routines through consistent, positive-based training methods. I also have a mini Dachshund, so I’m comfortable with small breeds, their unique personalities, and their care needs as well. In addition to dogs, I care for two one-eyed cats, which has built my experience with special-needs pets requiring extra patience, attentive care, and gentle handling. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter maintenance, medication assistance if needed, enrichment activities, and creating a calm, loving environment for cats of all temperaments — including shy or anxious pets. I prioritize safety, comfort, routine, and affection to make every pet feel secure and loved in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, training reinforcement, or extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs to ensure they feel at home while you’re away. Because I attend school part-time and complete most of my coursework from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I’m able to be home throughout the day, which means more consistent supervision, playtime, walks, and companionship for your pets — not just quick check-ins. My routine gives me the ability to accommodate morning, mid-day, and evening care, with availability for overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute needs. I’m able to adjust my schoolwork around pet care, ensuring your pets receive reliable, steady attention and a calm, loving environment. My home is set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming space for the pets I care for. I have gated-off areas both inside and outside, which allows me to separate pets when needed for comfort, feeding, rest time, or safety. This setup is especially helpful for pets who prefer their own space, are shy, or need a slower introduction to others. I also have friendly pets in the home who are used to being around other animals, but introductions are always done carefully and based on what is best for your pet. Whether your pet enjoys social time with others or prefers a quiet, private space, I can accommodate their needs. Your pet will have a secure environment, plenty of supervised time, and a comfortable area where they can relax stress-free — just like home.
About: Welcome to your pet’s home away from home 💛 Hi there! We’re a fun-loving, animal-obsessed couple who believe life is simply better with paws, tails, and a little bit of fur on everything. We moved from Colorado a few years ago, where we had the joy of hosting all kinds of animals—big, small, shy, energetic—you name it, we’ve loved it! Both of us grew up on farms in the Midwest, so caring for animals has always been second nature and one of our favorite things to do. These days, we both work from home during the week, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and snuggles all day long. Our home is very much a pet-first household—around here, animals run the show! Whether your pet loves curling up on the couch, stretching out in bed, or following us around all day, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home. No strict rules here—just lots of love, comfort, and flexibility. We also have a super friendly pup who absolutely loves making new friends and gets along great with other animals. Daily life includes walks around the neighborhood, and the occasional trip to the dog park for extra zoomies. We’re very laid-back and flexible with schedules—whatever works best for you and your pet, works for us! Our goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease while your furry family member is safe, happy, and spoiled. We can’t wait to meet you and your pet—and give them all the love they deserve! 🐾 I currently am working remote so 3 - 4 long walks is my current routine. I live close to numerous trails so you can count on your pup always getting the best outdoor experience while he/ she is with me. I have one very friendly dog who loves to play, I am always home to keep an eye on him and any other friends we have at the time. I am very diligent in my care because I know I would expect the same of someone watching my guy, you can always be sure that in my care your fur baby will get lots of love and attention… and treats of course.
“Ellie is a wonderful resource for our pets (dogs, cats and chickens). She’s very attentive to details, thoughtful, and sensitive to animals’ needs. Can’t recommend highly enough!”
“Kourtney is great with our dog! She updated us about his walk and sent some cute pictures. He is high energy but she is patient with him and understands his puppy personality. So thankful to know she’s around to help out with him.”
“Thank you Morgan for taking the walk with Ellie while I was sick! Sorry if she pulled you, she’s a puppy and going off for advanced training in a few days. Take care thanks again! Izzy”
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life growing up. I love every animal, and am very excited to get the opportunity to meet yours! I am currently a full time college student. I am dual enrolled in two colleges! I have a very flexible schedule, and can take last minute appointments if needed! I will care for your furbabies as if they were my own. I will take as much time as I need to make sure your animal is happy and safe!
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family. Have experience with cats, puppies , small / medium and senior dogs. Have also boarded small dogs in my home. I am retired and available anytime for pet sitting, boarding or small/medium dog walking.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, and cats for 4 years now. I love and care for each animal as if they are my own because I know how important a pet is to their family. I also respect all the rules given by their owners and make sure I’m following exact instructions. I also volunteered on a farm for a while as a young child and grew up taking care of my family’s chickens so animal care is something that has always been a part of my life. I am just graduated from school and getting my priorities straight so I have a very flexible schedule. When I’m working other jobs, they’re in the evenings and in my control as for scheduling and time so if there are specific needs for your pets around certain times, I can accommodate. I pet sit and homes and follow all rules that are given for me. I treat your space and your pets space with full respect and make sure I take care of it even better than my own space.
About: I’ve owned golden retrievers since 2016. I have dog sat for families in the past for up to a week at a time. I have taken care of my sisters golden doodle for months at a time. I have taken part in simple training my two golden retrievers since they were puppies. I love dogs and seeing the different personalities brought out from different breeds. I do not have much experience with senior dogs, but I would love the opportunity to learn! I’m currently in an online masters program, but I have a pretty open schedule. I get up early usually around 5 or 6am and I am in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I love working out and getting outside during the day, so walking or boarding dogs will guarantee some playtime for the pups. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play. I have an almost 10 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and loves to play.
“Laura is so amazing with our dog Riley (and Riley can be a handful)! I love all her updates and pictures, it always makes my day to see her and know she’s having a great time!”
“Nicole K. is awesome with dogs & cats. She texted me when she started her walk with Dixie & when she was done. I got the route she walked & also got pictures. It made me feel very comfortable leaving her in such good hands. Nicole is a sweet & caring person.”
“Thank you so much for all you did! ❤️ I'm glad he was a good boy. Feel free to help work with him on no jumping. He does know sit and stay for when you leave too! I hope he didn't scratch you up or make bruises, he didn't mean to if he did.”
“Alissa was very attentive to our two labs. She shows up on time, is very pleasent to work with. She clearly loves dogs and our boys were excited tosee her arrive. We trusted Alissa with our home and dogs without hesitation.”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter with over five years of experience. My experience includes working with puppies, kittens, and senior fur babies.

Moreover, I have experience with dealing with seizures, congestive heart failure and joint pain in fur babies which helps ensure safe care. Providing a safe, calm and loving environment is a priority while caring for your furbaby. Pet sitting is my full time job. I have time to provide one on one personal care for your fur baby. Would love the opportunity to do a meet and greet to review further availability. I have a fenced in yard for zoomies, fetch and reliving themselves. Our community has sidewalks for safe walking exercise too. I have two small dogs ( one senior & one puppy) and two senior cats to keep your Furbaby company. I have a crate if needed or gates if a need arises to ensure safety. However, your Furbaby will have free roam of the house if no safety concerns.

Bayleigh is awesome with our girls. We are so grateful that Bayleigh was able to step in last minute while our regular walker was sick. Gladys was super happy to be able to get out and moving during midday while we were away and our cats also love to have Bayleigh come in and spend some time with them. We are super happy with using Bayleigh to care for our girls.

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 Hopkins. 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 Hopkins.

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 Hopkins. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
