About: Hello dog lovers! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Courtney and I am excited about potentially working with you. For starters, I have always have the opportunity to be surrounded by four-legged friends in my life since I was a young kid. I believe growing up with a dog is 100% attributed to my passion and ability to work with many types of dogs. With personal experience owning dogs and working for a professional dog-walking company in the past, I am committed to providing love and attention to YOUR dog. I believe dogs are a part of the family, not just a pet! I will take care and play with your dog and treat your home as if they were my own. Additionally, I am punctual, hard-working, and honest. I hope to work with you soon!
“Tyler is such a wonderful person, he's very patient and kind towards the dogs! Rescues can surprise you with new reactions, Tyler showed compassion and love and eventually the problem child learned to trust him. I will recommend Tyler to anyone who is looking for that extra help! Thank you!”
About: As a dog mom myself, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. What sets me apart is the way I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little things that make them feel safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds and temperaments, and I’m especially good with shy or anxious pups who need extra TLC. I’m currently a student and off for the summer, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m around and fully committed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and at home. I give lots of attention, cuddles (if they enjoy that!), and keep their space clean and stress-free.
About: I’ve owned pets ever since I was able to and grew up with dogs and cats. I started walking neighbors dogs when I was 10, and have never stopped. Since having a family we raised 1 yellow lab - trained and and nurtured him in his elder years. We have since rescued a Shepard mix and a black lab. I help my friend care for area pets when she has overflow in her own pet care business. I’ve been an elementary teacher for 33 years- 20 years at a school for the deaf, so I do know sign language. I have summers off and am available during the school year as well. I would visit and play with your pet while you are away, as I know how I feel when we travel and need to leave our dogs behind.
“Jillian is awesome! My dog would get super excited to see her for their time together and was always calm and relaxed when we saw him later in the day. Will definitely continue booking through the summer!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve dog sat for friends and neighbors for the past couple years. Love all types of pets! I’ve trained my family dogs so have some experience with that aswell. My personal dog takes medication so I can handle pet care with medication assistance. I’m currently home from college this summer and working a part time job so I have a lot of availability to help out anyone who needs pet care! I can accommodate to any needs for the pet and owner. I car every much for animals so they will be handled with love and care 24/7.
About: I have a dog and cat of my own and raised them since puppyhood/kittenhood. I believe all furbabies deserve the most loving care and attention possible. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for boarding, visits, and walks. Feel free to reach out and I will work with your unique schedule. If your fur-baby is more shy or independent, I have extra rooms where they can rest comfortably and confidently. If your fur-baby is more social, I have two pets that can keep them company. Safe community with private walking paths and not much traffic for peaceful dog walks. Clean and well-maintained household.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their dogs and cats. I am very experienced taking care of cats and dogs. I can clean litter boxes, bathe, feed, and walk as needed. I have a flexible schedule and I can spend time with your pet for however long you need. I am currently taking some classes so I am available at most times during the week and weekends. I have plenty of time to walk and/or play with your pets! I am available to stay in your home and watch cats or dogs of any age. I have experience helping with rescue organizations and with pets of my own!
About: I have always been the designated dog sitter and walker for my family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers from friends of friends! I have years of experience with dog walking, boarding, and sitting. I also now have my own puppy at home (named Harley) so I am only able to accept pets that are puppy friendly! Please feel free to message me anytime to discuss more! I work from home and will be able to care for your dog at all times! I can be super flexible with potty breaks, drop off and pickup times, etc. I’m here to help you! I have a one year old cockapoo so I am only able to accept pets that are pup-friendly at this time - thank you for understanding! I live in an apartment complex that welcomes dogs! There is a dog park here if your pet enjoys socialization (no worries if not). I am very attentive and can be there for your dog whether they need a potty break, new water, play time, etc.
“Valeria was amazing with my dogs. She was able to gain Lola's trust (my pit rescue) , many sitters have not been able to get her to warm up to them. But, Lola gets super excited when she sees her. And she was extremly patient with my 14 year old shih tzu as well. Look forward to work with Val for future sitting.”
About: I've owned dogs, big and small, since I was 8 years old and can't imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. While my 4 year old mini bernedoodle, Winnie, currently receives all my love and care, I'm itching to share that same level of attention with other pups far and wide! (NOTE: Winnie does not accompany me on house sitting bookings unless explicitly requested by the owner, as she prefers to hang home with her other pet-parent) I am extremely detail oriented, responsible, and have a flexible work from home schedule so I'm happy to drop by/sit just about anytime. I've handled dogs of all temperaments and am able to tailor my care to make them feel most at ease. I am personally a very active person and have no problem providing ample exercise for the dogs I look after, but I am equally as excited to lounge around with those who prefer belly rubs over running :) Pet parents will be sure to receive a minimum of 2x daily updates as well as plenty of sweet photos of their fur-baby when in my care. I work from home and have flexible hours, therefore I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I love going for long walks as exercise, so being able to bring along a furry friend is always a bonus :) I am an extremely vigilant caretaker and treat every pup I care for like they are my own. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority.
About: with over 10 years of experience, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, I provide the kind of love and attention every pup deserves. I have a lab of my own and grew up watching Neighbor’s dogs. I use to foster puppies when they were just born! I’m an active person who loves having a four-legged companion join me for walks playtime and cuddles! I currently work part time so I am available on the weekdays and for some weekends! My schedule will slightly change when Fall rolls around! I love to go for a walks so any distance is no problem for me! I can go anytime and any amount of walks is good for me! I love to give baths and always need a dinner partner!
“Thank you! You put Pete's mind at ease. He's just beginning to travel again and the cats are like his children. His anxiety was gone and he loved that Ellen was patient and understood that they both do not come out for most folks. It can make it boring for the human. Lol. So thank you for being kind and understanding! Appreciate you.”
About: I am a proud owner of a beautiful pup at home that makes me smile everyday. Having her has taught me how to interact, love and care for dogs. This is an experience I can share with other dogs. I grew up I surrounded by many dogs at home and at my family's farm in my home country, so since a young age I have been interacted with them and has allowed me to understand how important they become to our lives. I speak Spanish as well Im currently working full time as a dog walker. Any other services like boarding plese text me to see if I can help you out! During our walk I can assure you that my time and attention would be directed to your pup, so it can enjoy our time together as much as I will.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Hiawatha choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lake Hiawatha with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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 sitter.
