About: I’m recently unemployed and looking to get my steps in and earn some dollar tree money! I have experience running a BOOMING neighborhood dog walking business in the 90s! Also the proud owner of 1 Bombay cat. Not much specialized experience, but wide open availability to help at run of the mill drop ins and/or walks. Hope to meet you! Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives. Would love some weekly walking jobs (rather, my fitness app would love) I will follow your instructions and treat your family members how I treat my own! I am not well versed with special care but am willing to try and learn
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 6 years and a Dog Person for over 3 decades! Throughout my life, family, friends, and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their pets, including the dogs I grew up with. From check-ins and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ve done it all. I’ve even been asked to chauffeur a friend’s dog for their wedding! I bring enthusiasm and playfulness to every interaction but prioritize comfort and safety. I want you and your pet to feel seen and secure. And that’s exactly how I care for my own fur baby, Rufus! As the proud mom of a rescue dog with lots of dog pals, I know firsthand that each pet has unique needs, and I lead with that empathy. I can’t wait to show your dog(s) some love! Cue “The Puppy Song” by Harry Nilsson… I'm currently working part-time and am excited to spend some quality time with your pups! I’m available for drop-ins, playtime, and walks on weekdays from 11am - 3pm. I’d love to work with you and your pet to figure out a rhythm of care that fits your needs, but I’m flexible too! Trust and safety are top priorities for me! My own dog's a "runner" so I take extra care when securing doors, gates, leashes, crates, etc. Before I start spending time with your pup, I'll make sure I fully understand your environment and expectations.
“Amanda is the best! My girls or rescues and very people selective. She is so patient with them and really got them to warm up and come out of their shells. Definitely recommend for anyone with anxious or stressed dogs!”
About: I have had cats and dogs in my household my entire life, I take care of them at home and also for many neighbors, and they continue to request my services.

I watch pets in our neighborhood almost every week as our neighbors have come to enjoy and rely on my pet care services I have watched pets in my home but have additionally visited neighbors and stayed at their home to watch pets overnight. I am comfortable caring for pets in any of these enviroments.
“Tyler will continue to be my go to dog walker when I need help getting my 2 dogs their daily exercise. My pups are spoiled with daily outings , and dog park trips - we usually average 6-8 miles per day but often hit 10-12 miles once or twice every week…. with Tyler, I have peace of mind and confidence that my dogs will get a walk and the type of exercise they are accustomed to. They always return content , satisfied and most importantly exhausted! Thanks again Tyler!”
About: Proudly rocking three years' pet sitting experience during college caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles. I grew up having hamsters, lizards, a hedgehog, and cats. I just adore animals. Full-time Twin Cities actor with flexible daytime availability, seeking fulfilling side work—nothing makes me happier than caring for your adorable fur babies with love. Unfortunately animals are not allowed in my own due to my roommates allergies but I would treat caring for your fur baby in your home as if it was my owns with the upmost care and respect.
About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house and on the farm my entire life, from small dachshunds to chow chows to large hunting labs. We’ve had very rascal puppies, young high energy dogs, and very senior dogs on medications and needing special attention. I’ve house sat all sizes of dogs, from terriers and corgis to golden retrievers, as well as cats, both friendly and standoff-ish. Growing up with animals in the house, I know firsthand that pets aren’t pets, they are family, you love them dearly, when they get sick you clean up after them, and they make the world go round. I love pets that are very involved with everyday life (see my photos) of pets “helping” with homework, regular walks and play time, and bedtime snuggles, as well as pets that are in their own world and coexistence works best. I work full-time outside the house, M-F, so I’m mainly looking for weekends and overnights. I’m able to check-in on my lunch breaks when needed, and happy to do so. I grew up in the country and our dogs roamed free, while most animals that I’ve house sat have fenced in yards, so regular walks and active play is necessary. I’m used to animals both being left to roam the house or be crated during the day. I’m a pretty active person and my animals are active parts of my life, so if your pet enjoys people and is able-bodied, we’ll probably be going on lots of walks, finding nearby parks, eating meals together, and snuggling up to watch a movie. No one is allowed to meet your animal unless there is prior approval, especially no other animals unless yours is friendly and willing. I (unfortunately) have experience with animals getting sick, jumping a fence and going for a run, and unfriendly dogs coming close. I recognize these are all unwanted, however very possible, and having experience navigating and handling these often stressful situations, is needed to keep your animal safe and comfortable. I take every precaution to mitigate these risks, and have learned from my own animals and their mischievery.
About: I’ve walked dogs since I was 13 and have a cat right now who takes prozac so I’m experienced with difficult animals as well! I’m currently a student so my time is pretty wide open throughout the day aside from a couple classes! I’m able to walk dogs early in the morning and late at night and even during the afternoon! I have been a cat owner for my entire life so I have immense experience with all types of cats and know what makes them tick (space and food)
About: As a college student working from home, I offer a flexible and caring pet care service tailored to your furry friend's needs. With a lifetime of experience owning dogs and cats of all breeds and temperaments, including seniors, I'm comfortable with any number of animals. I'm particularly familiar with breeds like Boxers, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Having cared for dogs with allergies, I'm very sensitive to dietary needs and restrictions. Plus, my flexible work-from-home schedule means I can accommodate almost any request. I have a history of leaving furry friends sad to see me go, and I promise to give your pet the same love and attention! I work from home and it is a very flexible job so I can provide service services at pretty much anytime any day of the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I strictly follow your pet's routine, medical needs, and dietary instructions to ensure a stress-free environment. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and communicate exclusively through the Rover app to keep all details secure.
About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life and growing up I was around a lot of cats too. I’ve always loved animals and caring for them. Now as an adult, I’m able to take care of my friends animals while they are away. I’m currently working full-time in a remote setting, so my schedule is flexible enough for me to leave and come back during the day as needed to care for your pets! I’m available 9am-10pm 7 days a week. I am careful, cautious and pay close attention. I have experience with multiple dogs and dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. When at someone’s home, I am respectful of my surroundings and make sure to leave it looking better than when I arrived. I will let them go potty outside, feed, provide fresh water, administer medication if needed, exercise and provide companionship. Can do additional tasks like cleaning a litter box if required!
About: Hi there! I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, and I also worked with a pet-sitting company for two years, which gave me lots of hands-on experience with pets of all personalities and needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the same love and attention I give my own. If you have any questions at all, I’m just a message away. Excited to connect! I work Mon-Friday at my full-time job but do have a lot of flexibility during the work week/weekend. Just let me know what works for you and I will adjust my schedule! I’m very patient and attentive to your pet’s individual needs and comfort level, and I always adjust my approach to meet them where they are. I go above and beyond to ensure your fur baby receives the care, attention, and respect they deserve.
“Andy takes great care of my baby's! Andy is easy to communicate with, and takes great pictures. When I come home the dogs are always excited in a way I know they had a nice time with a new friend.”
About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. House-sitting • I usually do NOT stay at clients homes overnight or for extended periods during the day! • I will check in with your pets in the AM/PM (as needed) and follow their routines so their schedule is consistent, and provide photos throughout the stay. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in New Brighton is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Brighton
Elizabeth is reliable, personable, and an excellent communicator. We really appreciated Elizabeth’s daily summaries and we highly recommend her! It was helpful to have a brief meeting with her and our dog in advance of the week to discuss our needs and see how they interacted with each other.
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 your New Brighton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
