About: Every dog or cat has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I've had pets my entire life and people say I'm a dog whisperer. I'm not really...I just understand what motivates them (treats, love, or praise) and I work with that. My dogs and cats were always like family, and I treat other people's pets like family. I worry about mine when I'm away, so I want people to know that I understand those feelings and that their pets are in good hands. I've also had rodents and reptiles, so I can watch after them too. I do this work simply because I love animals and exercise, so this is perfect. Socialization with new people and reinforcing training material (like basic commands) is mentally beneficial for pets too. Lastly, I'm a retired government employee, so I've had quite the variety of background checks - you will find me honest, reliable and committed. Since I am retired, I can accept drop-in's or walks throughout out the day. Last minute or same day requests are a real possibility depending on when you contact me. I'm quite flexible. I'm not boarding at this time. As far as caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions implicitly. When I have others take care of my own dog and they don't follow my requests, it drives me nuts!
“Lori is the absolute best. My dog gets so excited to see her for walks and comes home tired and happy. She goes above and beyond and has been available on short notice several times. 10/10 would recommend Lori for anyone’s dog walking needs!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, both golden doodles, who I take care of daily! I do daily feedings, walks, and brushing. I have experience in both daytime check ins and overnight stays with dogs. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on walks, running around the backyard, or just relaxing in the house! I am flexible in the work I do and can’t wait to meet your pet:) I am currently a college student attending UMD! I have a flexible schedule with classes and am available to do a variety of check in times! :) I care for my own pets by taking them on daily walks, creating activities that engage them, and brush their fur. I will care for clients pets in whatever ways are necessary for the specific animal!
About: I grew up with three dogs and later adopted Diamond, a sweet black lab who was my running partner until 2023. Since then my house has been "doggy camp" for friends, family, and Rover clients. I'm at my best with dogs who have extra energy. I run most days and love taking pups on adventures around Duluth — always on-leash. I'm also patient with reactive and anxious dogs, and happy to handle meds, senior care, and specific routines. You'll get consistent photos and updates, a fenced yard, and a dog-proofed house with no resident pets or kids. About other guests: I typically have 0-3 dogs at my house but can accommodate so your pup is the only guest - ask about a Private Stay (+$20/night). I have a flexible schedule, I try to run daily anyways, and my house is dog-proofed with a fence. I'm ready to provide a safe, comfortable and fun space for your pet to get quality care and exercise. I live in East Hillside Duluth with great access to paved and off-road walking/running routes. My house has a fenced in yard and I have cultivated a pet-proof home over the years. I am a strict on-leash walker/runner.
About: I’ve watched a variety of dogs, from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes! I love walking dogs and getting them the movement they need, a tired dog is a happy one! I also love cats and chickens :) I am a college student looking to help when I can! I miss caring for my animals back at home so helping others really floats my boat! I like to abide by the preferences of the owner since everyone’s care looks different, I can crate your dog if you like and take them on long walks so they are more at ease
“Amber is the best! I'm so happy with how it's going with my pups! My chihuahua-dachshund is impossible to walk but just a couple of weeks of walking with Amber and he's walking without pulling!!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets! I have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, just about all things animals! I have also cared for dogs and cats who have diabetes and other special needs that require medicine so I am willing and happy to accomodate to that! I am currently only working part time, and my current schedule is very flexible and able to change whenever needed. I am able to care for pets on weekends and most weekdays evenings and mornings, or whenever needed. I will stick to routines and ensure your pets are safe, cared for with walks and play time, and loved with kisses and pets! I am good at communication and will keep you updated on whats going on with your fur baby.

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 Palmers. 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.

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.
