About: I’ve grown up around dogs and absolutely love caring for them! I currently have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with puppies, potty training, walks, playtime, feeding routines, crates, and all of the energy that comes with younger dogs. I also have experience with adult dogs of different sizes and personalities. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I work Thursday-Sunday afternoons or evenings as a server. Here is a rough overview of my class schedule: Mondays: done by 10:30 Tuesdays: done by 12:00 and class again from 4-5:15 Wednesday: done by 10:30, class again from 6-9pm Thursday: class from 10-12:45 Friday: done by 10:30 Right now I live in an apartment, so id be able to stay at your house. I’m very used to staying overnight at other people houses
About: I work at pet hospital as a veterinary assistant now. I have 1 large dog which is Alaskan malamute, 1 medium sized dog Shiba Inu and 3 cats which are British shorthair, ragdoll and domestic cat. I am professional at taking care of them. I majored in animal science working on pre veterinary programs at the University of Minnesota twin cities. I can do basic wellness check for pets. I used to help my friends taking care of their dogs including walking two dogs together, feed and bath. I’m basically free every day. I love all kinds of animals and play with them and I believe I can provide great care for them I have a huge basement and first floor for my pets to play in the house and he is well trained by me as an ESA dog. My cats are very sweet. I’m good at getting along with pets. Even my Guinea pig is friendly to humans and petable
About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)
“Megan did a great job with my pup. She was willing to meet him first, and that always helps him feel more comfortable with people. She also was professional and transparent with communication and availability and I appreciated that.”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I am an experienced pet sitter but I am new to Rover, so my rates are set lower while I try to get a few more reviews:) I was always around multiple cats growing up, and I have since solely taken care of two of my own. I have also cared for my family's large dog for the past 6 years, and house-sat for a family with 2 cats and 2 dogs for 5 years. I have experience with animals of many ages and sizes. I am a full time PhD student and TA in Social and Administrative Pharmacy at The University of Minnesota, and I have 5 years of experience in the healthcare industry, so I am very comfortable administering medication and accommodating other medical needs. Since much of my work can be done remotely, I am able to incorporate you and your pet's specific needs into my routine. I am almost always available after 7pm and before 8am, with other breaks throughout the day. I am big on your pet's comfortability and safety, and I am more than willing to provide care at your home. I am also available overnight and for multiple daily check-ins if necessary.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!
About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.
About: I’ve had dogs and cared for them since I was 5 years old. I’ve had experience with both puppies and older dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I love spending time with dogs, especially taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel well cared for! I work every other weekend (Friday–Sunday) in the evenings at a hospital and have classes Monday through Wednesday afternoons. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to let dogs out, take them for walks, and give them the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise and companionship! I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow each owner’s instructions to maintain their pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets or stopping by for walks and visits, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while also providing updates and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and I love them both! It was always my job to take the dog for walks and feed the pets everyday. I have watched a variety of dogs from great dane to chihuahua. I am currently searching for a job which leave me free pretty much all the time to hang out with your animals! I am available both weekdays and weekends for house sitting, drop in visits, or a walk. I have watched escape artist dogs in the past and have learned to keep an eye on them at all times! My parents dog is also quite reactive and I have learned how to best help her when seeing other dogs on a walk.
“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.”
About: I just moved to Minnesota and looking for dog time! I have a dog back home in NYC whomst I miss and love. I love being able to support people and their furry babies!!! I am currently working from 8-4:30! I am free all day on weekends! I can come straight after work or before if need be! I will always ask you for your rules/tips! You know your pet best. I love being able to provide ease of mind in making sure routine stays consistent!
“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Robert is awesome and came over to walk my Winston on very short notice. My dog loves him and came back very happy! I highly recommend Robert for his animal expertise and professionalism!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. My family ran a doggy daycare in Germany for several years, And ever since I've moved to Minnesota I've been longing to get back into the business! I have experience working with dogs of all different sizes, cats, rabbits, and even birds! No challenge is too big for me and I am very familiar working with animals that require special needs. Your animals well-being is my top priority and I will treat them as if they were my own! I am a college student with flexible, part-time work– meaning that your pets will never be alone for too long! We can discuss exact schedules in more detail as needed, and I am more than willing to be flexible and accommodating to your needs! As a professional in the industry, I am very aware of the fact that every client has their own needs and wants. I always engange with animals and client homes with the utmost respect. Please do not shy away from requesting any accomodations! No request is too small, and it is very important to me that you feel your loved ones are in good hands with me!
About: I worked on a few farms growing up and don’t remember a time where I didn’t have a few pets! Love any and all animals I go to school only twice a week so fitting care into my schedule is very easy! I will always make time for animals and their care Of course I will offer playtime and cuddles if they want that! Also will make sure they get their steps in if needed and all the energy out!
About: I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science and Veterinary Care, and I am looking to gain additional hands-on experience working with animals. Since I am unable to have pets where I currently live, I am excited for opportunities to care for and spend time with companion animals through dog walking and pet sitting. I have experience caring for family pets, as well as working with dogs in a doggy daycare setting. My experience includes feeding, walking, basic training, cleaning, and providing overall daily care. I am passionate about animal care and would love the opportunity to work with more companion animals while continuing to build my experience in the veterinary field. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently a full-time student, which gives me less of a flexible schedule but I still want to do my best in dedicating additional time to caring for animals. I am hoping to gain more hands-on experience interacting with pets and would love the opportunity to best accommodate new clients and their scheduling needs. Through my veterinary studies, I have been learning about the basic needs and proper care required for animals, including health, safety, and daily routines. In addition, I have experience dog sitting for family members and working at a doggy daycare, which has helped me better understand the importance of safe, attentive, and compassionate pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on providing proper exercise, feeding, supervision, cleanliness, and plenty of attention while ensuring their overall safety and well-being.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale
After a morning of exercise before we left, Harley was being difficult for Ava, however, Ava was able to recognize the behavior and attitude of a dog she hadn’t met before. I am so thankful Ava had the knowledge and experience to deal with an issue I hardly see. I would recommend Ava to any dog owner!
He has walked my dog multiple times and has done an amazing job! He was super flexible the whole time and was able to adjust the walk time every time I had a change in schedule. He was also super good about communicating (running early, running a little late, etc.) and took multiple really cute pictures of my pup every time Jarrett walked him. My pup also seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again!
Anna is so patient and kind! She literally goes the extra mile. I have a couple of rescue dogs that are still in the process of learning better leash manners and she’s giving me good, honest reports. She’s also not letting them get away with too many shenanigans! I appreciate her hard work and dedication.

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 Lauderdale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lauderdale after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 Lauderdale. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
