About: Alongside having cats of my own, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats on and off for around six years, mostly work associates or friends of my parents. Not looking to make a huge business out of this, just willing to help out as needed! Life changes have left me with a lot of spare time that I’d be thrilled to spend giving some love. I’m very flexible and happy to figure out a way to keep you and your pet(s) happy, too. I have lifelong experience with cat care and have grown up with friends and neighbors who have dogs. I will only take pets to approved areas and keep an eye on them at all times when outside (even in fenced yards). Dogs will be kept on leashes on walks (my preference to help keep everyone, including other dogs, safe).
“Hannah was very responsive and flexible to our schedule needs. We could also tell how much she enjoys taking care of our dogs and they looked so happy in their walk with Hannah! Highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I am Taylor! I am an animal lover with lots of free time & have been on this app since 2019. I work in Owatonna and have flexibility to work with different schedules. I can do 1-5 drop ins daily on your pets while you are away, and can assist in any house-sitting things you might need while gone! I have lots of flexibility around work and can accommodate most schedules easily for your pets while you’re gone! I try to copy the same schedule they are used to! I only offer drop ins at this time while we remodel our home! I can make multiple daily drop ins to your home & can follow your typical schedule with your pets!
About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Whether it’s walks, training, cuddles, or overnight stays, I have experience with it all! I have taken care of and am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m currently a college student with classes for just a few hours a day Tuesday-Friday, otherwise I have a very flexible schedule. I am fully available Saturday-Monday! At the moment, I am not able to offer overnight stays at my home but am comfortable staying at yours. I’ll follow any instructions or routines you provide to keep your dog comfortable and happy. I will also make sure to leave your home just as I found it!

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 Owatonna. 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.
