“Chelsea was basically there for me the day I got my 4 month rescue puppy Maisie on the days I had to work, always incredibly responsive and communication is excellent. She follows instructions and helped reinforce the necessary early training for Maisie. Maisie loves her! Highly recommended!”
About: I work as a behavioral therapist so I am very familiar with how to handle people and animals. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from work it’s patience, I take the time it takes. I work with my clients for a few hours a day and am not in any classes currently, so I have plenary of time to walk, sit, and care for pups and kittys. I have two loving kitties that curl up to anyone who meets them, and I also have a car so I can totally drop by and give your pup/kitty all the individual attention they need.
About: I've had pets since I was a baby, and have taken care of them my whole life! I've been trusted to watch over others' pets since I was 10. I have experience taking care of a senior dog, and helping raising puppies and kittens! I am open to watching and walking any pet of any size! I'm currently a college student living in a dorm, so for now I cannot board. My schedule is flexible, and I'll have time to walk dogs every day! I will also have time to stop in and check on your fur-babies. I am open all day every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I will spend as much time as needed with your pets in your home, including feeding and cleaning up after them! I love spending time with any animal and will gladly befriend your pet!
About: I am experienced in giving medication. Thoroughly experienced in behavioral training. I have no problem with multiple dogs in same household. I am experienced in all sizes of dogs. I am retired and available twenty four hours a day. I schedule all appointments around the scheduling of the dogs I care for, board or sit. I have a fenced in yard big enough to give 10 dogs plenty of room to roam. I have a steady pack, very friendly. I have never had a problem with fighting or personality problems.
“Jonathan was wonderful. Our pups loved their walks and I really appreciated his picture updates. They went on 5 different walks over the five days and I really appreciated they had the variety. Thank you!”
About: I was raised in a family that has always had dogs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from 6 LBS to 120 LBS. I do not shy away from taking care of our family dogs, friends dogs and my neighbors dogs. I love to move around so your dog will get all of their movement in or if they're a lap dog I'll be there to snuggle them up! I am a teacher so looking for summer work, so from the end of June-September I available all days of the week and all times. I live in an apartment, but my area has a lot of parks near by. I am available whenever you may need me and will make whatever accommodations that are needed to best support you and your furry friend!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and previously had 2 dogs of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and providing calm, loving care to both dogs and cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I prioritize clear communication and consistency so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. I create a calm and safe environment by following the pet’s usual routine and the owner’s instructions. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and respectful of both the pet and the home, treating each situation with care and responsibility.
“Tyler has been walking my Golden, Max, for a couple months now and he is the only one I would trust with my Max! Max already knows when Tyler is on his way and waits for him looking out the window. Tyler is very friendly and gentle even with my older dog. Max always comes back tired from his walk, which is a great help to me! Thanks Tyler!”
“Charlie was great with my dog. I struggle to walk her on my own as she pulls me, so Charlie was able to give her a nice 1 mile 30 minute walk. Will definitely book again! Thanks!!”
About: As a pet owner for more than 35 years, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for large-breed dogs as well as dogs that require medication and special medical attention. My favorite pastime is dog walking, and I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I am dependable, patient, and committed to providing safe, loving care so pet owners can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. I have been a Special Education Teacher for the past 26 years and am currently enjoying my summer break from school. With a flexible summer schedule, I am available for dog walking and pet care throughout the week. Dog walking has always been one of my favorite pastimes, and I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog needs a daily walk, exercise, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I am reliable, responsible, and ready to help. While I currently share my home with one beloved cat, I have been a dog owner for most of my adult life. After losing my three dogs, I decided not to get another dog right away, but I still deeply miss the companionship and joy that dogs bring to everyday life. I have always been the kind of dog mom who made my dogs a priority. When I had dogs, I walked them before work every morning, came home during my lunch break to take them out again since I worked less than a mile from home, and then enjoyed another walk with them in the evening. My yard is fully fenced, providing a safe space for play and exercise, but I have always believed that dogs need more than just a backyard—they need walks, attention, and quality time with their people. Caring for dogs has never felt like a chore to me; it’s something I truly enjoy. Becoming a Rover walker gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs again while helping other pet owners ensure their furry family members receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve. 🐾
“Courtney is so good with our goofy George. She understands his puppy mentality. She's always on time and very communicative w/ any issues. We get cute photo updates of their walks. We highly recommend Courtney for any help with your dog!”
About: Whether you need a daily companion or a longterm caregiver, I am delighted to make the most of my time with your pet. I most commonly schedule extended stays with my current clientele, but daily visits/ stays are certainly services I provide. My pet sitting experience dates back to my college years, but I've acquired a more consistent clientele list over the past 5-6 years. I can accommodate specialty dietary needs and administer medications. It is important to prioritize enrichment, such as walks and playtime, to keep your pet happy. I have a vehicle equipped for safe travel, in the event that a vet appointment is scheduled. I currently do not bring pets into my home. I've found that most animals, especially anxious or high-need animals, tend to thrive best in their own homes. I can maintain their regular routines while surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells they are familiar with. I do free consultations to meet all clients and pets in order to get acquainted with their personalities and routines.
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.
“i had a great experience .. The dog walker arrived on time and took my puppy for a full 30-minute walk, ensuring he got the exercise he needed. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely use it again!”
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!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Hiawatha
Chelsea and her family have been so great to work with. Her son Bryson has been an incredible dog walker for our dog, Moose. Moose is reactive, so finding someone we trust to handle him safely and confidently was really important to us. Bryson has done an amazing job understanding Moose’s needs, keeping him safe, and making sure he gets the exercise he needs. We especially appreciated his reliability during the recent heat wave and rainy weather. He always found ways to make sure Moose got out while keeping his comfort and safety in mind. It’s such a relief knowing Moose is in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, dependable, and truly cares about the dogs he works with, I highly recommend Chelsea and her family!
Mark was great with our dog! He left really great photos too and that was probably what gave us the greatest sense of security was just seeing him on his walk and knowing he ate well and took his med. Thank you so much Mark. You were so organized and thorough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lake Hiawatha on Rover is $17.76 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 Lake Hiawatha. 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 Hiawatha.

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 Hiawatha. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
