About: I have always had animals in my home growing up. Currently I own 4 cats but have had small rodents such as hamsters and guinea pigs as well. I worked in pet care for Petsmart and worked there for 2 and a half years before beginning my teaching career. As someone who has had rodents and taken care of reptiles at Petsmart, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have exotics! I have taken care of and watched my parents animals which consisted of 6 cats, one had to have insulin twice a day. I’ve given different animals medications and am confident I can watch your fur babies! I look forward to hearing from you! I am a full time teacher and am currently only available on weekends or holidays as of right now. I’ll have more free time over spring and summer break! I prefer to not board animals in my home as I do not have room for them. However, I would very much enjoy coming over and taking care of them for drop in visits!
“Morgan is such a wonderful person and trustworthy pet-sitter/walker. She goes so far above and beyond to make sure my girls are taken care of. Could not recommend any higher!!”
“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.”
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. I can also care for your cat, or other small animals I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly 9 month old puppy at home. I can also crate your dog if desired .
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for all animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level—whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or still learning. I’m attentive on walks, gentle during sitting, and always focused on safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m especially mindful with senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, or medication reminders, and I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I communicate clearly with owners, follow care instructions closely, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and complete peace of mind for you. My open availability allows me to be hands-on and fully present, giving your pet(s) lots of attention and personalized care with patience love and consistency. I make sure your pet(s) feel safe, happy, and loved in their own home. I stick to their routine, give plenty of cuddles, play, and gentle attention, and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way. You’ll get updates, photos, and lots of peace of mind while I care for your furry (or feathery!) family members.
About: i have plenty of experience with animals i helped train 2 of my golden retrievers and i trained all of the cats to go into the litter box. i’ve been around animals my entire life!! i currently have 3 dogs and three cats and chickens. so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. from playful and energetic pets to more shy or relaxed ones, I’m comfortable adjusting to what each animal needs. i understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every animal like my own. i pay close attention to their routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I have had many types of pets, dogs, cats, fish, and rodents. I have a lot of patience which allows me to care for stubborn pets as well as kittens and puppies. I have had both large and small dog breeds and am comfortable with both. I’m currently a student, but I only have classes for about 3 hours a day so I am very flexible. I also work part time in food service but my schedule is flexible and can be adjusted as needed. I care for every animal and pet like they are my own. I show them all equal love and attention and pay close attention to body language and signals that animals give. I respect animals and work with them so they feel comfortable and safe with me!
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion for caring for animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting and providing drop-in visits for family and friends since I was 15 years old. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine love, giving them the same care, attention, and affection I give my own pets. When your furry family member is with me, you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved as if they were my own. I’m available most weekdays from early morning through late afternoon, offering flexible scheduling to meet your pet’s needs. I chose pet care because it allows me to build a healthier, more balanced lifestyle while doing something I truly love. It also gives me the opportunity to spend more time with my own dog instead of leaving her home alone all day. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including large and high-energy dogs. I’m experienced with safely crating dogs when needed and remain calm and confident around every breed. Whether it’s following a specific routine, administering basic care, or providing extra attention, I’m committed to doing whatever is needed to keep your pet safe, healthy, comfortable, and happy. My goal is to earn your trust by caring for your pet as if they were my own.
“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!”
About: I have been working in boarding facilities for over 3 years and I have been pet sitting for about 2 years. I absolutely love pets and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience in administering medication, dog training, walks and house sitting. I work at a boarding facility where I am with many pets daily in a daycare setting or just providing basic care as far as walking them, feeding and medicating them, keeping log of how they are potting and of course giving them lots of snuggles. I am soon going back to school and looking for a way to continue to do something I enjoy while being in school. When I visit your pets in your home my main goal is to provide the same amount of care and be very attentive as if they were my pet. I ensure the pets remain comfortable and abide by house rules (maybe not allowed to be on furniture or not allowed in certain rooms) while giving them lots of love and snuggles.
“Taylor was fantastic!! I needed a last minute savior after my normal person backed out and she was there for us. Great communication and was great with my big fur baby. I plan on using her whenever I need someone from now on.”
About: I love dogs and have grown up with them since I can remember from a pug to a Great Dane (as well as many other animals). I live in a townhome complex and am a female 25. Looking to meet some new fluffy friends and give them some exercise and love while their owners are hard at work. I also have experience with other animals as well from gerbils, birds, cats and all size dogs. I am available for all pet sitting! I work from home currently but am flexible!! I am looking for flexible, one time possibly, but will take long term depending on the situation. I live in an apartment but I am a one minute walk from a dog park in the complex if you request your dog gets more exercise than a walk and even other dog socialization. I will keep a close eye and protect your dog as if they were my own.
“Mary is amazing at what she does! She walked my dog and stayed with him and kept him company so he would not feel alone while I was at work. I 100% recommend Mary to take care of your four legged family members. A+ job!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
