About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. From our neighbors cat who we invited to our birthday parties as kids, to the 3 precious dogs I’ve had the honor of being a mama to. Nash (weimer) left us in 2019 at 12 years old. We just said goodbye to Oliver (Puggle) in August of 2025 at 17 years old! And we currently still get to love on Riggins, our 10 year old Frenchie. With Nash and Oliver living such long lives, I have experience caring for all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time as a sales executive, so my flexible schedule allows me to step away as needed for care. I am also an early riser, so I am available to breakfast feed an walk early. My dogs are my babies, so I know the importance of having someone to rely on. If you need me to drop in and/or feed or give medicine, potty break/walk etc. at a specific time, I understand how important it is to not be late. If they need something at 3:30, it will be 3:30, not 3:45.
About: I have taken care of dogs for my entire life. When I was five we got our first Boston terrier and prior to that we had a yellow lab. My husband and I have been married for 23 years and we had a yellow lab who unfortunately passed away 12 years ago from a medical issue and now we have an English setter who is 11 1/2 and a another English Setter who is two years old. I also have worked part time at a doggy daycare. I currently work full-time as a teacher in Bloomington however I am more than willing to let dogs out before school or after school or in the early evening and during the weekends. I also have my summers off so I’m more than willing to walk dogs during the summer. We care for our pets in our home very diligently. We love and spoil our pets. We do have a fenced in backyard. We have an 11 1/2 year old English setter and adopted a 12 year old English Setter 1 year ago, who unfortunately passed away from cancer. We have a English setter who is two.
“Nicole was great with our 100 pound dog. He really enjoyed his walks with her. She was very flexible & able to walk him even in poor weather. She was very dependable, which was a comfort to us. She also had great communication & lots pictures letting us know he was doing well.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I never had a dog or cat growing up so I was always trying to find ways to spend time with others pets, including asking the neighbors if their dogs could come out and play! I have a dog of my own now who just turned 10 and have a cat as well. I work from home so happy to get out of the house and meet new pets friends! I am currently working full time from home. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can be available for drops ins and walks on both week days or weekends. I’m very detail oriented and love to make animals feels safe. Just let me know best practices for your pet so I can give them the same level of care you give them!
“Alexa was amazing with our two energetic dogs. She not only walked them but understood they needed more exercise so opted to throw them the ball before she left. Really appreciate her taking the extra step. Thank you!”
About: I have a special love for animals and have been relied on by friends and family for many years to help out with their pets when needed. I am able to take care of pets of any age or breed, but am especially good with senior care. I am available to come help out after 5pm during the week, outside of my other job hours, and am available all day on the weekends. We have a fenced in backyard at home for when we had dogs to let outside. We now just have cats, and spend time playing with them, cleaning litter boxes, and loving them.
“Jan is just the best! She is so awesome with our 10 year old dog. She loves her, sends cute pictures of their time together and is a wonderful person to hire to be with your dog in any situation. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I had a family dog until he passed when he was 16 years old that my family & I adopted when I 6 years old. I took over care for him in my teenage years, as we were attached at the hip.

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 Shakopee. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Shakopee.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shakopee. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
