About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time to watch your loved ones while you’re away. We have an active but relaxed home. We currently have one extremely friendly, well socialized shepherd mix dog who gets along with every dog he meets. Over the years I’ve cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. My kids love dogs and are able to let new dog friends acclimate without pestering. We walk the neighborhood every night and play in the backyard. I am a stay at home mom with elementary aged kids. Especially during the school year, I am almost always at home. My husband also works full time from home so there is always someone here to keep an eye on things. We have a great schedule in place for our dog in terms of potty breaks and feeding. We have a fully fenced back yard and a lovely neighborhood full of sidewalks to go on long evening walks. In our home, dogs are part of the family. They are allowed on the couch and sleep in our bedroom. Our dog has a nice schedule for feeding and going potty and he loves sunbathing on the back patio.
“Our 17-month old Boxer is full of energy and we haven’t yet trained him to stop pulling on leash. He was staying with his senior grandparents while we traveled, so we hired Victoria to take him on a long daily walk since she knows how to handle a strong dog. Victoria was great! She was timely every day, communicated well before and during the week she walked our pup, and sent great report cards. She asked our thoughts on walking her dog with ours, which we enthusiastically endorsed - our dog loves friends. Her dog and ours had a great time together and our puppy was thrilled when Victoria arrived every day. This was a great experience for us and our puppy.”
“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”
“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”
“Claire was so kind and patient with my dog who was anxious and afraid when she came to walk him and we weren’t home. It was his first time having a dog Walker who wasn’t family, and in true pandemic puppy style, he didn’t want anything to do with her, even after she had come for a meet and greet. She eventually coaxed him outside and he was able to go to the bathroom and play some find the food games. Thanks again for your kindness and patience with him, Claire!”
“Jocelyn is prompt, friendly, reliable, and our pup loves going on walks with her. I feel like I can very safely trust my dog in her care, which means everything. Highly recommend!”
About: "As a dedicated and reliable pet caregiver, i will provide an experience tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand that your dog is a beloved family member, which is why I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine—from specific feeding times and favorite walking routes to their preferred sleeping spots. Whether your pup is an energetic adventurer who needs plenty of playtime or a calm senior who appreciates gentle companionship and belly rubs, I offer attentive, one-on-one care in a safe and loving environment. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and the same level of affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure your dog stays happy, healthy, and tired out until your return!" As a part-time employed Mom and Grandma, I like to be busy and have time to spare for loving more than just my family and pets. At this moment, I have 3 dogs and two cats, all who need my personal attention several times a day. I would love to do that for you too. I know what it’s like to be stressed about your kitty or dog while away and I can help relieve that, even for just a day or a week.
“So grateful to find Shannon in a pinch today. She was so awesome easy pick up easy drop off and I seem to like rocket loved her.. would definitely book her again in the future”
“Sydney is terrific: always on time, communicative, and otherwise professional. She handled our pup with care, and he always looked forward to his walks with her. He invariably came back with tail wagging. Couldn't recommend her enough.”
“Steele is fantastic! He takes amazing care of Nigel and is super knowledgeable and punctual. We love that he always keeps us in the loop, whether he's sharing a quick update about how the walk went or staying on top of scheduling. I’d trust him with Nigel any day!”
“Chelsea is wonderful! As a new pup mom was a bit anxious about getting all this started and how it would go for Maggie. Chelsea made it so easy, answered all my questions, shares pictures of their time together and assures Maggie is well cared for, couldn’t be happier!”
“Casey was super with my elderly chihuahua and also was very communicative around planning. I appreciated getting to have a meet n greet prior. Thanks for taking great care of Lucy!”
“Abigail communicated with me when she went to take my dog Venus out for her walks and that and the pictures were very helpful since I’m out of town. I would recommend her and use her again.”
“Jordan was great. Pepper took a minute to adjust and get used to him, by no fault of his own. Then she walked just fine. Jordan was very responsive, communicative, and flexible. We appreciated the last minute availability. Would definitely use Jordan again.”
“Felicia has been so amazing! She covered for me on short notice and she has been wonderful with my older dog who can be reactive and crotchety. She’s also very sweet with my two kitties and good on updating me on everything going on with my fur babies. Highly recommend!”
“Lexi appeared earlr and is very responsible. My dog has taken to her and enjoys going out with her. Their walks are productive and Lexi even runs Lucy for part of the walk.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Minnehaha
Michelle did an awesome job caring for Gambit! We had a medical scare the day we planned to drop our dog off with Michelle. Gambit had to have a quick surgery which resulted in him being drowsy, being prescribed medication and a patient after care routine. Although this wasn’t initially expected for Michelle to have to deal with when originally booked, she accepted the additional responsibility without question and was able to carry out the needed extra care without issue. This really helped reduce our stress and anxiety of our dog’s well being while we were out of town. If it was any other rover, we probably would have canceled our trip! Michelle is extremely responsive, punctual, nice and a joy to interact with. Would highly recommend!
Felicia always goes above and beyond. Whether it’s dealing with my grumpy old dog, checking on my sick cat, or even bringing in packages after a walk she always takes the extra step to treat my home and pets like her own. She is respectful, communicative, and caring. I feel very lucky to have met Felicia!
Elaine was wonderful! She filled in as Sharpie’s dog walker, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Sharpie can be a little particular, and Elaine was patient, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept me updated, was always on time, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. Thank you, Elaine, for taking such great care of Sharpie!
I am so grateful I found Claire! She made time for a meet and greet with my pup so he could get to know her a bit before she came another day to walk him. I instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell that Finn did too. He's an Aussie and pretty much thinks everyone is sketchy, but I was surprised at how calm he was around her. When she came by another day to walk him, she sent me photos and videos and kept me in the loop on how Finn was doing. She was so patient with him and spent extra time playing with him and letting him get to know her at his own pace. Finn had a great time and it made being away a lot easier.
Steele is fantastic! He takes amazing care of Nigel and is super knowledgeable and punctual. We love that he always keeps us in the loop, whether he's sharing a quick update about how the walk went or staying on top of scheduling. I’d trust him with Nigel any day!
Zach and Janexis have been great. Frou is getting walked on a regular basis and is much happier. Great communication and they show up for every walk and have been flexible with the schedule. I greatly appreciate having people that I can trust with my dog and with my house. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Minnehaha on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 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 Minnehaha. 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 Minnehaha.

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 Minnehaha. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
