“Carrie was amazing! Great communication, on time and great pictures of our dog for her walks! Millie seemed like she had a blast with Carrie and had lots of play dates with her dog! I felt very comfortable leaving Millie in her hands. Thanks again!”
“Emily & Timothy did a great job with our Daisy while we were away on vacaction! Dasiy was staying with my mom, and Emily & Timothy were flexibe, working with my mom for timing Daisy's walks. Daisy can be a stinker on walks, and Emily & Timothy were able to get her out for good, long walks, getting her the exercise she needed during our time away. Thank you Emily & Timothy, you were great!!”
About: I have an associates degree in Veterinary Technology and worked in the veterinary field for 5 years. During that time I would often watch coworker's and friend's pets including both cats and dogs. I am experienced with giving medications and caring for senior pets who may need a little extra help and care! I am currently working part-time with a schedule that changes week to week. I am always available before 8am and after 7:30pm as well as most weekends. In all of my past pet sitting gigs, I have always tried my best to respect other's homes and traditions. I am very flexible and will always respect any and all wishes when it comes to your home an beloved pets!
“She was great with my dog! Very professional and keeps your pet happy and safe on walks or drop-ins. She is very flexible with scheduling and she took very good photos of my dog on walks! Will hire again!”
“Isabella was reliable, punctual, and communicative. Isabella sent reports and photos daily. Luna was excited to walk with her every day and came home weel exercised,ready to rest!”
“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”
“This is our second time with Erick walking our dog. Erick is very punctual, pleasant and does an excellent job with our dog. Definitely will hire Erick again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and I currently have my own fur baby! I have had experience in house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking since I was 19 including senior dogs with various health problems. I promise to love your dog like I love my own! Please note I currently work a hybrid schedule in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays where I am most available in the evenings. Mondays, Thursdays, and weekends are flexible for early morning, lunch, and evening hours!😊 I have my own 3 year puppy who can keep your fur baby company if needed who is crate trained, so I can crate your dog if needed. I value communication and will always be available via text/call with any questions or concerns
About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I now have a dog of my own, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, playtime, and maintaining a routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m a teacher and am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of availability right now. My schedule will become more limited toward the end of August when the school year begins. Currently, I’m unable to care for dogs in my home, but I’m happy to come to my clients’ homes to provide the care their dogs need.
“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”
“Our pup Luna enjoys her walks with Jacqueline. Jacqueline has been such a help given my wife's arthritis and when I have to travel, it gives me comfort knowing that Jacqueline is there to walk our dog. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have a flexible schedule and am available for quick check-ins or over night care. I grew up with cats and dogs since I was 13 years old. I am capable of taking care of kittens, puppies, and elder animals that have special needs. My current job allows me to work remote when needed. I can tailor my schedule around your cat(s) or dog(s) daily schedule and current routine. We currently have two dogs and consistently take care of friends and families pets. I like to meet or communicate with any potential clients and animals to get a better understanding of their routine and needs.
About: Since 2020, I've been providing dependable dog walking and in-home pet care for families in the Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul, and South St. Paul areas. As a proud British Lab owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets the way you would. In addition to dog walks, I provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, administering simple care routines, playtime, litter box or cage maintenance, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My Yard: 5 ft privacy fence entirely enclosing the yard and deck. My Pet: 65lb spayed female British lab who is passive and needs a meet & Greet before we accept Boarding Crating? I follow your routine so if you want them crated, I will do that (some parents teach dogs to be crated at night). I would only ever use it other than your specific direction if I were to leave the house to store, etc. Dog won't be alone long - I am home during days. My family: 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid in house. Scope us out! Come visit with your pup for a meet & greet! Boarding: Occasionally I do accept dogs to board in our home. The dog needs to meet & Greet our dog first (she is calm, passive spayed). I only accept dogs to boardthat are up to date on vaccinations. We have kids and stuff (socks, toys) lays out...if your dog will ingest socks or "eat" things laying out, this isn't a good Boarding match. I believe every pet has a unique personality and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are safe, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve. I am flexible during weekdays, mostly for check ins, potty breaks and feeding. In evening and weekends I am open for walks, check ins and feedings. I follow your Pet's routine as you detail it! Walks I require a leash. I send you updates and photos from walks or check ins. My House & Yard: Occasionally, we accept dogs for boarding. That is only if we do a Meet & Greet first, and determine our dog (9 yr old, calm and passive British lab, spayed) is a match. We would only boarding a dog in our home that is up to date on vaccinations
About: I’ve been around animals majority of my life. Mostly cats and dogs, how ever I have small animal experience aswell. I have always loved animals and become quick friends with them! I currently have a cat named Jerry and live with my mom and her two dogs. Throughout my life me and my family have had 9 cats and 5 dogs! I am an RN, I work clinic side pediatrics! I work m-f 8-5! Not gone super long and would able to give all my attention when back from work! I will respect your property and your schedule for how you have your pets in the home. I can and will let your pet out as often as they need and want. I can bring them for walks and play times. I know letting someone else in the home and taking care of your fur babies can be hard, but I can ensure trust and safety in your home and with your pets!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Inver Grove Heights on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Inver Grove Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 Inver Grove Heights.

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 Inver Grove Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
