Dog Walking Howe

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

About: While I do not have a dog of my own, I love caring for and playing with my friend’s dogs and love learning their unique personalities. I am full time pet sitter while I focus of a career change. I am reliable, trustworthy, and care deeply about your pets wellbeing. I communicate clearly and promptly and want to give you the peace of mind that your animals are being cared for well. I have a fenced in back yard and a cat. I do not have access to a crate so if that is necessary, it would need to be provided.

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

About: Hi I’ve had dogs of all sizes and medical conditions for my entire life. We are able to manage medications and special needs with great care. I have also been a volunteer at a pet rescue and do home checks to ensure safety for new owners. I am a nurse and I work full time with only ends up being 2-3 days a week so most of the time I am home with our toddler. We recently lost our old lady dog so our house is fully accommodating and accessible dogs of all sizes and mobility. We live in a townhouse so we do not have a lot of yard space but we have community areas and a great walking path and route for walks! We also have a toddler so our house is baby proofed and we monitor heavily for anything that may be a safety issue, this directly translates for our four-legged company!

“Thank you Amy for a great first visit with Sage! The details you shared about how the visit went, as well as the multiple photos, were much appreciated :)”

“Jackson and Morgan were able to take care of my pup on very short notice - a lifesaver for me! They were quick to respond to messages and I also I got pics from the walk.”

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Ruby was outstanding! Our dog was happy and she was very communicative. Thanks Ruby!”

“Rob came by for a meet and greet, had good questions-took down a few notes. He was super gentle with the dogs and they took to his intuitive style right away! Great first experience, look forward to working with him more. Excited to have Rob in my Rover community 🙂”

Angie T.

“Lisa is awesome! Communicates so well and we felt so confident while we were gone that our dogs were well-cared for the whole time. She navigated our other instructions so well too. Our one dog is a recently adopted rescue, yet loved her and she understood him and was cool with him, we are so relieved, impressed and thankful!”

About: ** Will be starting a part-time job in September, potentially moving to full-time after. I will have flexibility, so feel free to ask about walks and drop-ins! I will most likely not be able to accept recurring Rover requests for the moment though.** No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.

About: Hello pet parents of Minneapolis! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to offer you top-notch pet sitting services. With a profound love for dogs, I provide personalized care that ensures your furry friend is not just looked after but truly pampered. Whether you need assistance with dog walking or drop in (looking to board after my first month on here), I have the experience and dedication to handle it all. Each walk is filled with fun and exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. When it comes to check ins, being gentle and respectful of their space and needs is my top priority. As a pet sitter, I offer a safe and loving environment while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is in capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog and understands their needs, please feel free to message me. I am eager to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a flexible work schedule that does need me to travel sometimes for overnights. No traveling would occur during boarding. My dog of 5 years passed away earlier this year and I am looking for an outlet to scratch the pet-itch. We often did morning, afternoon, and evening walks. He was a reactive dog that was kid and dog aggressive, so we implement positive reinforcement training to successfully reduce reactivity. Caring for our furry friends means more than just taking them out for walks and feeding them. It is a time to connect and understand their needs. I’ll never push a dog to like me by petting them when they aren’t ready. I have an understanding of dog body language that I pay attention to. Play is one of my favorite ways to connect with animals - each one will have a different play style that I’ll be attuned to.

“Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.”

Angie T.

“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m Grace, a lifelong animal lover with a passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up in a household that’s always had dogs (and often other pets), I’ve had the privilege of developing strong bonds with animals from a young age. My experience ranges from house-sitting and dog walking to working closely with puppies, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior and care. I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs, and over the years, I’ve gotten to know them as the unique, playful, and loving individuals they are. Whether it’s a lively puppy, a calm senior, or an energetic middle-aged dog, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my care to make sure they feel comfortable and loved. Since I work from home most days, I’m able to offer your pet plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the day. I also love going on daily walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and outdoor time. For me, pet care isn’t just about looking after animals—it’s about building lasting friendships with them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, getting to know their quirks, and ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and offer them the same love and attention I’ve given to my own pets over the years! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, as I work from home most days, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to pets throughout the day. I’m already in the habit of going on daily walks, so including a furry companion in that routine is easy and would make my days brighter. Whether it’s taking a break to go for a stroll, offering playtime, or simply being there for cuddles and companionship, I’m able to give pets the care, attention, and structure they need while still balancing my work responsibilities. My flexible schedule means your pet will always have someone nearby to keep them company and engaged. I love getting the chance to care for dogs in their own homes or during walks. I’m happy to provide pet sitting or dog walking services at your place, where your pet feels most comfortable. In your home, I’ll follow your routine and provide the same care and attention I would give my own pets, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for. I can keep them active with regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. While I may not have a pet of my own at home, I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve in their own space!

“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Sara B.

“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”

Geordan B.

“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”

Jigar B.

“Was worries at first that my boy Bear was barking so much but Phenix got him calm and had a good walk with him! Bear can't wait to see them again 💕”

Bekah B.

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”
