“Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾”

About: Howdy howdy! I currently work 38 hours per week in social services in low income communities. I help folks with disabilities get out into the community and discover their passions! My job is my favorite thing, and coming home to a sweet pet and - quite frankly, a bed nicer than mine, is always going to be welcomed! I spend most of my off hours training my rescue Shibas. I am a tv show connoisseur as well! I provide stability and consistency. I also do provide cuddling services if so requested by your pet. I recently rescued a kitten off the highway so my hands are full! Thanks for reading and reach out with any questions! ** in case you are wondering the story behind photo 7, sweet Bianca gets really scared of fireworks and thunder, she has a favorite spot in the bathroom and I didn’t want her to be alone! So I camped in the bathroom with her and brought in the trusty ol kindle. :) I work full time within the community to help disabled communities. I work Monday-Friday typically between 32-40 hours weekly outside of the home. I love coming home to a new face & sticking to a dog’s regular routine. Willing to wake up early for a good walk and some quality time on the couch when dinner comes! When taking care of a clients pet, I try not to stray from their routine and lots of loving. I am extremely patient and will give any dog the time they need to warm up to me - I’m a stranger! By the end of my stay, your dog will miss me when I go out the door - guaranteed by all paws I’ve dogsat for already!

About: I am an animal lover and experienced caregiver (10+ yrs) so I know how important the trust between parties is when it comes to the care of loved ones! Nothing brightens my day like sharing it with a fuzzy friend; walking in the fresh air, playing their favorite games and learning how to best stimulate them intellectually. I hope to bring your pet the attention and play that best suits their needs! My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available mornings, days and evenings on weekends and Mondays. I can start the weekend as early as 7pm Friday night! I am happy to discuss the level of care and amount of time you would like spent with your pet. Respecting your pet and your home are my biggest priorities. I will abide by directions meticulously and make sure your pet is getting all the attention and love they needs. You know what your family member needs and I can carry out those directions with the loving warmth they deserve.

Let us know in our conversation during a meet and greet. Pet care is one of our daily priorities. We love animals and just want them to be as happy with what we do for them as how they want to be around us. We always treat your pets like they’re our own. We have a patio we use to hang out with our furry visitors, but mainly we keep them inside to reduce noise impact on the community.

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for friends and families! I’m the first they call because they know how much I love it and I work from home so I am very flexible on my schedule! Also who doesn’t love a work companion or even a break to get away from work and take them on a walk! My roommates have a dog so I am around one all the time and I take him on walks when I am around and I work remote from home all week so I’m pretty much available all day. We get up and walk the dog every morning so it is a priority! I currently live with a 2 year old cattle dog mix that LOVES other dogs and is so friendly but I am also very comfortable going to a home to watch the dog.

About: I care for my family’s dog, Moxie, every day alongside my siblings. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure he stays happy, active, and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I understand every pet has different needs and routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same care and consistency they’re used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve also cared for small pets in the past and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently a college student and work part-time during the summer, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My work schedule varies from week to week, but because I work part-time, I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pets. I typically know my schedule in advance and do my best to accommodate pet care requests whenever possible. I’m also usually available on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’ve always been an animal lover….I’m usually the one in the corner spending more time with the pets than the people at family gatherings! In fact, I even made a PowerPoint presentation to convince my family to get our goldendoodle, Moxie. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs, follow instructions carefully, and provide consistent, reliable care. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, I’ll treat them like my own, with patience, attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect my clients’ homes and will care for your pet and belongings responsibly while you’re away.

About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!

You can tell that Steven loves dogs, and loves walking them. Every time he returns my dog, he mentions something great that happened on a walk, whether it's a new trail he's discovered or seeing a deer. He's professional usually walks longer than 30 minutes. My dog can't wait to see him.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Minnetonka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Minnetonka is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Minnetonka. 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 Minnetonka. 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 , 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 Minnetonka 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Minnetonka. 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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
