“Kelsey was great! Super prompt and effective communication. Took Daisy for a bunch of nice, long walks and did so on short notice. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs at every stage, from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I’ve cared for senior dogs through mobility challenges, including taking my senior dog to aqua therapy and learning how to safely help my Boxer-Lab mix navigate stairs with arthritis. My Shih Tzu eventually experienced both blindness and significant hearing loss, but that never dampened their zest for life. Those experiences taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and abilities. As for what I enjoy most? It’s a tie between walking dogs on a beautiful day and settling in for some serious snuggle time and belly rubs. And yes—pooper scooping is absolutely no problem! I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your dog is energetic, elderly, extra cuddly, or needs a little additional help getting around, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care, patience, and affection they deserve. I currently work part-time Monday through Friday, as an AmeriCorps volunteer reading tutor, which gives me the flexibility to devote time to something else I truly love—animals! Potty breaks or walks every 2–4 hours are no problem, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Plus, walking your dog gives me a great excuse to get some exercise myself! I’m also available for weekend house sitting with your pet, including stays that begin Friday and extend through Monday. My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a meaningful part of my life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings, so I’m happy to care for them in their home. I respect your home, your routines, and—most importantly—your wishes for your pet’s care. I carefully follow your instructions so your pet’s schedule stays as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. My approach is gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to get to know each pet and let them set the pace, whether they want a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence. I also believe that caring for your pet means caring for your home. I’m tidy and respectful, and I will leave your home as I found it—or a little cleaner. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was loved and well cared for, and that your home was treated with the same respect I would want for my own.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've got two cats and a doggo of my own. I'll treat your pup like their part of my pack. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
“Tilia did a great job with our pups. She was very kind and generous with her time and made it super easy for me as the owner. I barely noticed her coming and going but I know the dogs got some good exercise in. I appreciate her flexibility with splitting the walk between our older and younger pup who walk at very different paces.”
About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.
“I really appreciated Gabby‘s willingness to walk my dog in the rain. It’s so difficult sometimes to get my dog out when the weather is not cooperating so this was awesome :-)”
About: Taken care of all age ranges young puppies to old dogs who have health issues lots of experience with all sizes of dogs as well:) I have a very open schedule for the most part I do have two young children who attend daycare and need to be picked up by 5:30pm so I’m unavailable at that time on weekdays only. Weekends I’m free all day:) I can provide whatever care needs for your pets necessary I have lots of experience with dogs giving supplements, feeding, snuggles, exercise, and just general care
About: I've had many pets since I was a toddler. Anything from hamsters, reptiles and of course dogs and cats! I love going for walks with dogs and playing with cats! I always make sure to be attentive to their needs and to be sure that they are well cared for. Im currently working part time as an Uber driver so my schedule is pretty open. Availability is usually from 9am to 8pm daily as im able to stop rides when I want. I am also able to board dogs and cats in my home. I live in a home with an un fenced yard, when boarding I can crate your dog when im away, no more than 4 hours at a time. I usually stop by home multiple times a day so I can easily care for your pet throughout the day. I do rent out my spare room on airbnb so they must be good with people coming and going.
About: I started dog sitting for neighbors in grade school. I love animals and have been a pet owner most of my life. I miss having pets and would love to help you when needed take care of yours! I work full-time from home in Lowertown Saint Paul. 90% of the people in my building have pets, I do not but I love them. Mears Park is right across the street and that is where people take their pets for bathroom breaks. With my job I am able to take breaks whenever needed so caring for your pet is easy for me and my schedule. Rover Guidelines based on previous rover boarding experiences: I will only board dogs that are fully potty trained. I live in an apartment building with lots of other dogs. If your dog is not dog friendly and shows aggressive behavior towards other dogs, you will be asked to pick up your dog. There are many shared spaces in my building including elevators and stairways and the dog park across the street, I cannot have an aggressive dog in my building. If your dog barks regularly, I will not be able to accept booking. I have neighbors and I’d like to be respectful. I want to take care of well behaved dogs. When taking care of your furry family member, I am home w them almost 100% of the time and will bring your pup with on errands (if the dog is ok w the car). See above, Everything is listed in my description.If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out or email me at kfr3ds@gmail Thanks so much for considering.

About: I’m a life long pet lover. Cats have always had my heart, but I grew up with big dogs, so am more than willing to meet your gentle giant! Ideally I can do home visits three times a day, in the morning, early evening and late evenings! However, my schedule is flexible and am open to discussing other times! I do not have the ability to take your pet into my home, but I will come to yours! I will treat your pet with care, I understand it can be scary for them to meet new people. I will also treat your space with the upmost respect and can tidy up pet related messes if need be. (Litter boxes, etc)
About: I’ve provided paid pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for over two decades, beginning as a teenager in rural Wisconsin. I’ve lived with dogs and have personally raised and trained cats, including adopted, senior, anxious, and disabled pets. I’m especially good with shy or sensitive animals and take time to understand their body language, boundaries, and individual needs. I’m most comfortable walking small to medium dogs and also have some puppy and senior-dog experience. I love making visits genuinely enjoyable through walks, play, cuddles, enrichment, and cognitive stimulation. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine closely and can give simple oral medications hidden in food or treats. I’m friendly, trustworthy, respectful of people’s homes, and happy to send as many photo and text updates as you’d like. During house sitting, I’m also glad to help with mail, plants, tidying, and other small household needs. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to plan visits, walks, playtime, or house sitting around your pet’s usual schedule. I’m flexible and communicative, and I’ll always be clear about my availability so your pet gets the time and attention they’re used to. I take being trusted with someone’s pet and home very seriously. I follow your routines and instructions closely, pay attention to your pet’s body language, and never force interaction if they’re nervous or need space. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, senior, and sensitive pets. I’m respectful, tidy, trustworthy, and happy to send frequent photo or text updates so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Paul
As always, Jill goes above and beyond when she cares or our dogs. We had an early morning event to attend, so we fed the dogs and arranged with Jill to come and give them a walk around 8:00. She did that, played fetch with our younger dog and did a little cleanup on our older dog's rear. She also takes great pictures of them while she's caring for them, which always make us smile. She's the best!
Reliable and generous,ensured my dog was walked with plenty of play time every day even in rainy weather. My energetic mini labradoodle was excited to see Jae H when he arrived for walks. Responsive communication . Clear commitment. Daily photos and reports. Jae H noticed and reported on a bug bite. Flexible when I had to change dates. I will definitely rebook, given the opportunity.
Sarah did an excellent job walking Hazel while our family was out of town. She was on time, friendly and great with an energetic lab. She paid special attention when we let her know that Hazel gets anxious while around other dogs and on a leash, and came up with some tricks to ease her anxiety. We’d absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone needing a dog walker!
Xinia has been great with my dog! She shows up on time is very kind to my Frenchie Harriet and even gets her stubborn doggie butt to go on a walk with her. Harriet is usually difficult to walk for strangers as she just stops and acts stubborn. The last time Xinia walked her Harriet was excited to see her for a walk! This is has been wonderful for me since I can't walk her for a while as I just had foot surgery.

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 Saint Paul. 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.
