About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs. My family has two dogs, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I’m active, responsible, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! I am currently working part-time at home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup throughout the mornings or evenings as needed. I live in a house with a fenced in yard and also have a golden doodle dog to keep company. He is playful and energetic.
“Monika was great! The dogs warmed up to her right away and her experience made it possible for me to enjoy my family’s visit from out of town and not worry about my babies,”
“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“Our dogs all loved Paula during the meet and greet and we could tell she is a kind person and a big animal lover! She was very accommodating around our schedule. And she took a lot of pictures and provided a detailed update on our older dogs and our new puppy. Highly recommended!”
About: DEDICATED TO YOUR PET ONLY when sitting! I only allow one reservation at a time. I raised a beloved 4 year old dog named Leo and recently lost him to an immune disease. I’m passionate about sharing my love for pets and experiences with others. I enjoy spending time with dogs, taking them on walks, and have a great fenced-in yard for their safety and enjoyment. Let me provide a caring and loving environment for your furry friend. I do not always update my availability, so please reach out if you don’t see a date that works! I work from home Monday & Friday. I’m also around most weekends. I like being active and outdoors. My fenced it yard would be great place for us to play! I no longer have a dog and will only have one dog at a time for sitting. This will allow for safety and prevent issues. My yard is fenced in and my house is clean and safe.
“Valerie took Kodak on some adventures this week! She’s so flexible and willing to try new things to keep our puppy entertained and happy. She took him swimming at a lake and some public lands for new scenery. Valerie is proactive and super informed about our pets needs and health. Kodak loves hanging with her :)”
“Jenny has been so helpful during midday walks with my French bulldogs. She has followed all instructions to the letter and frequently asks questions or updates me if issues arise. She was even able to accommodate me on a weekend when I need to be gone long hours. I am very happy to have found her on Rover!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for
“Carolyn, does a great job. Emma loves her a bunch, is very happy to see her each time she comes to walk Emma. Carolyn is good at communicating about what is going on.”
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
“Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and love getting to know each one I meet! My goal is to make sure your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friends! I’m most available Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, and I’m also available for morning and evening visits Tuesday through Thursday! It is important to me to follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions you provide. As a pet owner myself, I understand the need to feel comfortable when they are in someone else’s care. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away!
About: I love dogs and have a fenced in yard for them to play. 🐾 I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and recognize signs of illness or distress. I have experience with potty training, medication administration, and reinforcing basic training commands. I work day shift while my husband, Chad, works evening shift. One of us are home most of the time - there might be a few hours in the afternoon/evening when we both work. We crate our pups when they’re home alone and have a dog camera to monitor them closely. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space inside my home for pups to make themselves comfortable. In my home, dogs are welcome on furniture and will receive lots of pets and playtime. I will maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment for our fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Elmo on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 5,201 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lake Elmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lake Elmo. 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 Lake Elmo.

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 Lake Elmo. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
