About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and I currently have my own fur baby! I have had experience in house sitting, dog sitting, and dog walking since I was 19 including senior dogs with various health problems. I promise to love your dog like I love my own! Please note I currently work a hybrid schedule in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays where I am most available in the evenings. Mondays, Thursdays, and weekends are flexible for early morning, lunch, and evening hours!😊 I have my own 3 year puppy who can keep your fur baby company if needed who is crate trained, so I can crate your dog if needed. I value communication and will always be available via text/call with any questions or concerns

About: My pets are my entire world. Animals bring me so much joy, and I love making sure they are living their best lives. I'm so excited to meet your pets, and go for walks and enjoy the nice days with your pupper. I am also a volunteer case manager for Diabetic Cats in Need, serving sugar-cat parents around the country, and I have had several high needs and medically complex pets myself. I adore helping pet parents with their diabetic and senior animals. I'm comfortable pet sitting for animals who need pills, injections, glucose tests, sub q fluids, inhalers, feeding tubes, and other treatments at home. I have a very flexible schedule. I have a car and can travel reasonable distances. I am happy to come over during the day, evenings, and weekends. I will follow your routine so that whatever your pets are comfortable with, and used to, is how I will care for them. I can take them for walks, give them play time, and am comfortable giving medication or treatments when needed.

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.

“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: I grew up with dogs and cats and have practiced caring for animals since an early age. I currently have two cats of my own that I enjoy snuggling, playing with, and taking pictures of. In addition to the basics of pet care (food, water, bathroom, play), I have experience caring for elderly dogs and cats and administering medications. I frequently watch my family and friends' pets when needed, and understand that every dog or cat has different needs. I look forward to meeting your pet and learning their particular needs! I am currently working part-time while I finish up my master's degree. As a result, my schedule is quite flexible, and I am able to adjust plans to accommodate caring for your pet. Depending on your and your pets' needs, I am able to fulfill most requests (always addressed prior to care). I feel comfortable crating dogs, separating pets when eating or in high-stress situations, ensuring doors or specific areas are closed off to pets, and keeping dogs leashed during walks. This is your pet and your home, so my goal is to leave things as I find them and follow your instructions for what you know keeps your pet(s) happy and healthy.

About: I have a bachelors degree in animal conservation and marine biology. I also grew up with both cats and dogs, as well as rodents, fish, and lizards. I've been pet sitting for 7 years and worked at a doggy daycare. I love all animals big and small and am comfortable with big dogs and all manner of temperaments in cats. I'm currently available for boarding 7 days a week. I'm never away from my apartment for long and will dedicate all of my time to caring for your pet! I live in a safe apartment and area that's pet friendly! I don't have any cats/dogs, just a friendly leopard gecko! I also don't leave food laying around and pets are allowed on my furniture!

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.

About: I have been working with all sorts of animals for the past five years. I started out as a dog walker/pet sitter for Cocobear pet care in St. Paul. Best job ever! I learned so much about all kinds of animals. Eating habits, behaviors, different energy levels. It was at that time of my life that I had learned how to care for animals of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I became comfortable with dog aggressive dogs, and people aggressive dogs. Administering medication to sick and/or elderly pets is no issue for me. I am highly energetic and self motivated, and absolutely full of compassion for all living beings. My goal in life is to impact as many people and animals in a positive way before my time is up.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family and other services for 8 years, but have always had pets in my life. I grew up with three cats and two large dogs. Since leaving home I have missed taking care of and being around pets so I love to help take care of others. I am currently in school pursuing my Master’s in Nursing and I am around most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am reliable, communicative, and trustworthy and would love to meet your pet(s)! I work in Saint Paul but have most evenings, weekends, and holidays free! I am willing to house sit or walk, depending on the pet. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment with my very friendly cat. I am also incredibly comfortable taking care of pets in their own homes. Having worked as an on-call nanny for 8 years I am very used to helping out in others homes and needing to adapt!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for pets of all kinds. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and more, which gave me an appreciation for each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family ensuring the loved ones received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently on a career break and based at home for the summer before heading abroad again later this year. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for consistent, reliable pet care. I’m used to being adaptable from long-term travel, and I enjoy having structure and responsibility in my day-to-day routine. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this chapter by giving me a meaningful way to stay active, grounded, and local while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Because my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional job at the moment, I’m able to prioritize drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and give pets my full attention while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent, calm, and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, medication if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and shy, and I adjust my approach so they feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always move at the pet’s pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interaction. In addition to direct pet care, I keep the home tidy and respectful: cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, maintaining litter boxes, and leaving the space as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

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!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Sunfish Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sunfish Lake is $24 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $29 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.

As of October 2026, there are 5,424 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sunfish Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Sunfish 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 , 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 Sunfish 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sunfish Lake. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

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.
