Michele was awesome! She was quick to respond and great at communicating. I enjoyed the photos she sent of my dog during her walk. She was even willing to drive my dog to a super awesome park. Highly recommend!

About: I have always had pets in my home. Cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents! Love all animals! I can't imagine not having animals in my life! I've recently retired and am looking forward to doing the things I love and hanging out with animals is one of the things I love! I have helped many friends with their pets and am ready to expand my services. If I would be staying at your house I wouldn't have any other obligations to interfere with the time I could spend with your pet. If you just need visits I'm also available for that. Please contact me and we can talk about your pet family and how I can help you take care of your pet. Looking forward to meeting both of you! I'm a retired grandma with time on my hands! I love going on walks and relaxing with pets around me. I can adjust my schedule to yours! Let me know what your pets needs and wants are and that is what they will get! When I'm in your home I treat it and them as my own!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I provide personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets that require medication or special attention. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and highly communicative, providing regular updates, photos, and peace of mind throughout every stay. My goal is simple: treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, attention, and care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Because I prioritize quality care, I make sure each pet receives dedicated one-on-one attention, exercise, and plenty of interaction rather than simply being watched. Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household rules to maintain consistency and reduce stress. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention during walks, monitor behavior changes, and ensure pets are never placed in situations that could compromise their safety. I also believe communication is essential, so you'll receive regular updates and photos to stay connected while you're away.

Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.

About: I grew up on farms and ranches, and have cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, dispositions, and ages. How can I help you create the perfect, supportive routine for your fur-baby(ies). What do they need? More walks? Someone to watch them while you are at work or on vacation? Let me support you, so your pets can thrive! I'm currently working part-time and from home, so I have lots of flexibility to fit your pet's needs into my routine! And what better way to fill my time than helping your pet be healthy, happy, and supported! I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs to keep your fur-baby company. We also have an inside cat, who would love to have a friend to play with. Is your pet nervous in unfamiliar places? I'm happy to come to you! I will keep your spaces clean, and provide all the care and exercise your pet needs.

If you're looking for a sign whether to book with Nicole or not, this is it! Nicole has been our weekly dog-walker for about a year. She is consistent, always on time, quick to respond on messages (or reach out first), and has never once cancelled on us. She sends me lots of pictures and always follows up promptly with detailed Rover cards of how the walks went and what they did. She's very focused on the dog and is excellent with my older pup, Mal. They get along like best friends and his tail is wagging when she walks in the door. When Mal had surgery and had a complicated feeding & medication schedule, Nicole didnt bat an eye and picked up the instructions with no confusion or concerns on her part. She administered everything we needed without a single hiccup! Nicole has always been friendly and calm and we feel so lucky to have found her! She will be that 'gem' that you're excited to find on Rover.

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for a little over 6 years. Helping out with relatives whenever they were running errands, or staying at family friends houses while they go vacation. I, myself, have owned a couple dogs and cats and have raised them through puppy hood to seniors. Having this experience has helped me with caring for other dogs and cats alike. I currently work full time up in Uptown, Gig Harbor. I have different work schedule than most- starting usually at 4am and getting off at 12:30pm or 1pm, Some days I might work a shorter shift. Being able to get off early though allows me to spend time and care for many pets! I like to make sure that all animals are comfortable and happy, wether that be with a good walk or snuggles in the couch. It’s important that in the end all parties pet or owner are satisfied by the end of the service :)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since my brother got a puppy himself and one of my best friends got a husky pup! I would dog sit for them all the time so I quickly learned what a dog needs and how to care for them! Im currently a chiropractic student at Parker University so I have plenty of time to care for your dog most weekdays and weekends since my class schedule can be flexible! I am not able to provide care in my own home because my landlord does not allow pets. However, im more than willing to come to your house and follow the instructions you would like for me to follow!

About: I have a 9 year old golden retriever, a 9 year old German Shepherd and a 9 month old Belgian Malinois puppy of my own and have many years of experience caring for friends and family’s animals as well. I have experience working with up to 15 dogs in a dog day care outdoor play setting as well!! I love all animals! I love to get out of the house and take my own dog out for walks, trips to the lake and hikes! I work very well with dogs and all animals, it brings me happiness to be able to take care of them. I am more than willing to take your dog out for long walks, throw a ball for them and make sure they get all their energy out! I am comfortable with all breeds and do best with small-medium sized dogs, although I am willing to care for larger dogs as needed. I have plenty of experience with animals and would love to be able to help you out! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to help your pups get all their energy out! I am available most days after 1 pm, but my schedule is very flexible! My dogs are able to be out loose in my apartment when I am gone, but I have experience with crating them while I am gone. I want to make sure it is a positive experience for the pups so whatever the owner and dog are most comfortable with is what works for me :)

About: I started my own pet care and dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was only 10 years old, and my family fostered dogs for years. I have grown up around cats and primarily Siberian huskies, and I currently have a 10yo husky named Tallulah and a 1yo old cat named Fannie. Friends rely on me to pet sit for households of up to 3 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens! Nothing brings me more joy than bonding with an animal. I also volunteered as an advanced dog walker for Humane Colorado in Denver. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I love taking time to bond with furry friends to get a break from staring at screens! I am happy to accomodate whatever is needed for your pets in your home. Feeding, picking up after them, walking, and crating are all things I am comfortable with. **please note if you book in-home sitting, my own dog would need to be able to stay in your home while I am there. She is dog and cat friendly and not destructive.

About: I have extensive experience with all types of pups! I worked at a boarding facility that specializes in reactive / anxiety and fearful pups and gained lots of experience! I believe that all pups deserve love and most just need to warm up and have trust worthy humans in life❤️ I have worked with senior, puppies and everything in between! I do also have a background in giving medication! I am currently going to school to become a paramedic and looking to engage with amazing pups! I will typically be available Thursday - Sunday. Thursdays mornings and afternoons, Friday - Sunday all day! I have a fenced in yard and live in a neighborhood with tons of walking trails and fields! If your pup stays with me, I have a guest room where they can stay so I can be with them 100% of the time :) If you prefer pups be in a safe space (their kennel) I am more than happy to sleep in the room with them too! If I am doing drop ins for potty breaks, I can take them out for 20-30 and hang for a bit or longer if you prefer! For walks I can take them to trails near by or in neighborhood depending on location. Rain or shine I am happy to help anywhere I can! Please make sure to disclose any information about pups. Having a bite history won't scare me away!!

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

John did a great job walking our dog! He spent a few minutes upon his arrival to calm her anxiety prior to the walk. He was flexible with a new time when requested less than 24 hours prior to the appointment. He sent a report card and informed me how she was on the walk afterwards. I trust him and would definitely book with John in the future!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Minter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Minter on Rover is $24.04 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 10,112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Minter. 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 Minter. 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 Minter.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Minter. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
