“Jill is an outstanding dog walker. Ollie looks forward to seeing her. She is reliable, consistent, and caring about his safety and well being. Thank you Jill for providing your services. You are appreciated!”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
About: I have taken care of dogs the last 5 years from walking dogs to staying overnight in others houses! Having dogs come here to sit makes me so happy and excited:) I have a 5 year old lab-husky mix who loved walks:) I have loved animals forever and know how to handle difficult situations! I’m currently working part-time as a restaurant server/bartender and my hours are no longer than 7 hours a shift on a long night. Other than that I currently have no commitments and have plenty of time to care for some puppers!! Lokkee is great with other dogs! We have a large yard, however, not fenced in. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for some doggy friends!
About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.
About: I love meeting new animals and will take great care of yours! I have experience walking dogs and doing cat check-ins, and also providing day care for dogs. I am happy to discuss with you any specific needs your animal may need. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and will be able to ensure they get plenty of potty breaks, have fun, get exercise, and are cared for while you're away. I will make sure to be careful with your dog and cautious while taking them on walks or to the dog park to ensure they don't get hurt or in any type of danger.
About: I’m a remote worker who has been lucky enough to love and care for my own cat, dog, hamster, and horse, as well as numerous other critters in kennels, barns, and animal shelters. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I’m happy to drop in for a visit or walk any time of day, rain, blizzard, or shine! I live in a quiet house with an eleven-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who loves playing tug-of-war and snuggling with his furry buddies. When I’m working with a pet, I always play off of the animal’s behavior and respect their boundaries. The health, safety, and cleanliness of your pet are my top priorities.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, rodents, name any animal and I’ve had it! After my experience working at animal shelters, i’m well rounded and nothing can surprise me anymore! I’m working part time at a vet clinic, my schedule is pretty flexible and and my boyfriend’s schedule is as well. We have two pets of our own who get majority of our free time and yours will as well:) I have a hyper black lab who loves to play and be everyone’s best friend! We prefer cat friendly as I do have a spynx who is more like a dog than a cat lol. I’m super flexible so any requests can be accommodated!
About: Many of you treat your pets like they were your children; which is why I am the perfect choice! I treat every dog as an individual, attending and caring for their own personal needs. In my free time I love being active and exploring new places. I especially enjoy rollerblading and biking around the nearby lakes during the summer. Being outside with your pup makes my day! I love being able to take trips to the local dog parks near me. I grew up with a Shitzu-Bichon named Bailey at home. She is my by far my favorite family member (shh). We currently have a two year-old and a seven month old. (I am unable to board your dog if they do not get along well with children) As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is flexible but can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. I’m home most of the day and can easily work pet care into my routine. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time all fit in around our family rhythm. I follow each pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I keep things clean, calm, and comfortable, and always treat pets like family with patience, care, and attention to detail.
About: I've taken care of and been around cats and dogs since I was young. We lost our Bulldog 2 years ago and have yet to fall in love with another rescue pup yet. We are always happy to walk, feed, and take carenof friends and families pets whenever they need! I am currently home with my kids during the summer with all of the time to love on your pets! I take daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! We have a yard, but no fence, and a large park just down the road to get all the doggie energy out! I have 3 kids that all love animals and cannot wait to help with all the things!
“Megan was such an absolute blessing to our little family this week! She was punctual, a great communicator, and most importantly loved on our dog the way that we would! We will absolutely be hiring Megan in the future and feel so lucky to have her! As a mama to a shy dog my nerves were completely calmed ✨🐶🏡”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was little! Most of friends have 4 legged friends that I love to spend time with. I love helping where I’m needed with caring for animals for friends and family and would love to help you. I’m currently working a very flexible schedule with my current position. Considering me home more then a usual person. I do have a set schedule of Sunday days and Monday nights at my other job, but free time for most of my week. I live in an apartment that has a small dog park connected to it. Good at knowing when a little one needs to go outside and also when I need to keep your dog safe.
About: I’ve had a deep love for dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up with two dogs, I learned early on the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. As an adult, I’ve continued that passion by dog-sitting for friends over the years, helping them out while they’re on vacation. I understand that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re a family member. That’s why I make it a priority to ensure they’re well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, showered with love and attention while they’re in my care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just a cuddle session on the couch, I’m committed to giving them a safe, happy, and loving environment. I’m also more than happy to help with bathing and grooming if needed, ensuring your pup looks and feels their best. I work full-time during the week but am off every Friday this summer, which makes me available to care for your pet, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway. Whether it’s a quick trip or a longer vacation, I’m here to ensure your pup gets all the attention, love, and care they need while you’re away. I live in a townhouse in a wonderful, dog-friendly neighborhood where the association is supportive of pets. The area has plenty of grassy spaces where your dog can play, explore, and enjoy some outdoor time. It's a peaceful, safe community with multiple walking paths nearby—perfect for daily walks and adventures. Whether your dog loves to explore or just needs a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I believe in providing a fun, safe, and loving environment for your pet while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for my own, families, and friends’ pets since I was about 10 years old. Having dogs in my life for so long has given me plenty of experience understanding their different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’m comfortable around dogs of all breeds and sizes and am happy to work with pretty much any dog. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with dogs. I understand that every dog is different, and I’m always willing to adapt to their specific needs and routines. My goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I balance pet care with my school and outside activity schedule, but I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to find times that fit everyone’s needs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am willing to make room in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and other responsibilities. I always plan ahead to make sure I can give each dog the time and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, attentive, and caring environment. I know every dog has its own personality and routine, and I’m happy to cater to any and all instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space and make sure your dog stays comfortable with its normal routine. I’ll always pay attention to their behavior, keep them secure during walks and outdoor activities, and provide updates so you know they’re doing well.
About: We are a cozy, warm, loving family of four who love animals! I (Jenny) rescued my first dog, Summit-a black lab mix many years ago. He was with us over 14 years and we loved him so much! We just recently adopted a kitten a little over a year ago. She is a tuxedo house cat named Smokey. Drop-in visits and dog walking are what we are able to offer as of right now. We may bring boarding back into the mix when Smokey is a bit older. Jenny works part time and has time for drop-in visits as well as dog walking. If allowed by the pet parents our kids (10 and 12) would also love to help out! We play with Smokey in our home with balls, springs, socks! I am happy to pet and play with your pet. Feed, let out, clean litter boxes, and taking leashed dogs for walks.

It's always great to have Ann walk my Howie! Howie is about 75 pounds and is reactive with other dogs, so I will ask walkers to try their best to steer away from crossing other dogs' paths. Ann does this every time and gives me an update on Howie did on the walk. I greatly appreciate her.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Prior Lake is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 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.

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 Prior Lake. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 Prior Lake 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 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 Prior Lake. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
