About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was young! We want a dog but tracks touch for the time being. I will give them all the attention in the world:) I work remote 10am-6pm and have my mornings and evenings completely open! I live taking walks during my lunch and can adjust depending on the dogs needs:) I live with my boyfriend in a 2 bedroom apartment and we have a nearby dog park:) we have easy access to outside and a very spacious apartment!
“Pat was flexible with some unforeseen changes and willing to help out if she could. Good communication, even crawled next to the bed where one of my cats was hiding to give her some love. My other cat wasn't as shy and Pat gave her lots of love and belly rubs.”


“Anne did a great job with our dog Rizzoli! She spent extra time playing with her and walked her a couple times when only expected one. You can tell she really cares about animals. I definitely recommend Anne!”

About: We have had dogs our entire lives, and currently have two adorable shih tzus. We have had Cuddle for 15 years and Peanut for 8. We would have five more dogs if we could. We have been fostering for Underdog Rescue for the past seven years and have experience with both little puppies and senior citizen pups. We have a house in the Minnetonka/Hopkins area and have a large fenced in backyard that your dog would enjoy! We always hate being away from our dogs, so we know how important their care is while you're away! I currently work from home, so I’ll be able to give your pups plenty of attention throughout the day with plenty of potty breaks and playtime in the backyard yard. We have a large, fenced-in backyard and currently have three small dogs, two senior Shih Tzus and a 1 year old Pekingese. We also foster dogs through Underdog Rescue, and two of our dogs are foster fails! 🐶
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, and other reptiles. While I don't have professional pet care experience, I'm the person my friends, family, and neighbors trust whenever they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own 💛 I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry (or scaly!) family member, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work part time in the service industry and on my days off I love to be outside and mobile! My job starts at 6 am most days so even on days that I work, I end up having a lot of free time that I would love to fill working with animals 💛 Each pet takes time to get to know and gain trust! I am excited to meet your fur baby and take that special time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy.
About: I can keep the energy up when your Australian Shepherd wants to play ball. I also know the Battle Creek and Lilydale dog parks real well. I just quit a depressing factory job to get your dog that walk around the block he or she needs. I have worked with dog parents off the app so I can easily set up a schedule for you as well. I listen to your instructions and I will then set a phone schedule for each step that needs to be taken for your dog, but will execute it with vim and vigor!
About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!
About: As a pet sitter, I will treat your family member with love and care. I will give them long walks, entertain, and keep them busy. I enjoy the company of animals and love learning about their personalities. I am a responsible person and will do whatever I can make your family member happy. I am a dog and cat lover so I will treat your pets with care and respect. I am trustworthy and have some experience in dog sitting and house sitting. Although I am pretty new to this, I have owned dogs and cats in the past so I know what their needs and wants are. I can’t wait to form new bonds with them and give them lots of pets and rubs! I hope you choose me as your petor house sitter. I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so pet sitting is a great fit for me. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Trust is important when someone is caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“Sheila was very good at communicating with an update and pictures of my cats. She also took time to entice them to play with their favorite toy! She did a great job spending time with them!”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. Anytime a neighbor or a friend needs help with their pet. I’m the first one to volunteer. I’m currently working part-time, so pet setting would work in my schedule on the weekends and in the early mornings or late afternoons. I am pretty flexible unless something else comes up. when I watch dogs, I make sure to always take them on walks and always play with them. When I am with cats, I usually let them do their own thing unless they want to hang out with me I will let them.

“Kristen was great as we requested her assistance last minute. She was very communicative and loving towards our 2 cats. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking and will definitely use her again.”

“Samantha has been taking care of this little fur family in various forms for a couple years now. I always feel confident that she is making sure they are getting what is needed and all the snuggles. Thank you!”

“Matthew did a great job with my frenchie puppy. She took to him right away! Will definitely use Matthew for future drop in visits. He was also helpful with orienting me to the app and the process since it was my first time. Much appreciated!”

About: I love to care for dogs of all ages! I’ve had dogs my whole life and my family calls me a “dog whisperer” because animals are always attracted to my calm demeanor I work full time as a chiropractor. My main availability is Tuesdays (all day), Friday afternoons and weekends. Also occasional week day evenings after 6pm. Happy to walk your dog wherever they like best! I also frequent many trails in the area and love to bring them there for something to see.

About: I’m a passionate (professionally trained) dog trainer with over four years of experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility in the metro area! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities and various sized playrooms, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping pups thrive. I have been trained to use various tools if needed for your pup such as properly fitting a harness, a prong collar, and more. I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games and structure. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. My current position at my full time job is the lead trainer and manager of a smaller group daycare for reactive pups of various degrees and pups that need structure. I’m fine with behavioral issues such as resource guarding, reactivity ect as long as it’s disclosed first. I also have a senior GSD at home so I know how to provide compassionate care for our sugar faced friends! I’m always open for questions or comments and I send LOTS of pictures! I require a meet and greet before booking any services (unless it’s a last minute drop in or dog walk) I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

“Debdatta was fantastic during her drop-in visits with our dog, Summer. She took great care of her, making sure she was fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. It was clear from her updates and communication that she genuinely cared about Summer’s well-being. We felt completely at ease knowing Summer was in such good hands. I highly recommend Debdatta to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver, and we will definitely be using her again!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wayzata
Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is warm and responsive. She communicated regularly with photos and texts, followed all directions and anticipated the dogs needs during storms and fireworks. So glad we had her stay and do stop in visits instead of using the kennel. Our house was left as we left it and she watered my plants.

Sophia was kind, flexible, and loving with our elderly Chocolate Labrador. Really appreciated the TLC! And the fun pictures. Also appreciated the great communication, and prompt replies. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Margy was in good hands. Thank you! 🤎💕🤎

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wayzata stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wayzata choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Wayzata with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
