“Ed really goes the extra mile, not only for the pets for whom he is caring, but also with keeping their “parents” entertained with stories, puzzles, and humor. We look forward to each time he sits for us!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors trust with their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I have plenty of hands, on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, making sure they feel safe and giving lots of attention. I’m also a dog owner myself of a golden retriever, so I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your best My schedule is currently flexible as I'm in school, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs! I love walking, I can do 1.5-3.5 miles in a day depending on what is good for your dog! Making sure they feel comfortable is most important while getting exercise no matter the weather. There's nothing I love more than dogs.

About: Update: We are fully booked until Dec 16th. Sorry for the limited availability for the rest of 2026. We have a massive fenced in backyard for dogs and playtime for cats will be indoors. For dogs, we're happy to give them 4 walks a day and lots of playtime and fetch in the fenced-in backyard. For cats- we have a huge bay window overlooking a bird feeder so cats can soak in the sun and spend their time watching the birdies. We do not put any fur babies in crates unless you specifically ask us to (we do not own crates so you will have to provide one). This is not our full time job nor income, we're doing this because we LOVE animals so at our home, your pet will feel like its their vacation time! They'll have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to run around and be happy and comfortable! We also do not accept more than 1 booking at a time. 2 dogs from the same family are welcome but we don't accept multiple bookings from different households at the same time. We do not want our home to feel crowded and we do not want the dogs and cats to feel overwhelmed so you can always be assured that our house will feel like a mini stress free vacation for your pets! (: We will need you to provide everything your pet will need for their stay including food bowl, water bowl, toys/treats, food and most importantly- medications if needed. For Doggy day care: if we are doing doggy day care, we will only be taking one dog at a time, or 2 dogs from the same family. We want to ensure that the pet has a fun time while away from their fav human for a few hours, and simultaneously we want to have stress free work days (: Thank you! (: We work from home full time so we are available for walks, and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. We also love dogs and cats so they're welcome to join us in our bed for all naps! We have two cats of our own but they will have no interaction with your dog/cat; when we are sitting your pets our cats will be in the basement (which is their fav place in the house anyway). If you're reaching out to us about cat sitting, please also ensure that you're willing to provide litter.

“Jamie was awesome! Dependable: she came 2x per day on time. She sent a picture of our cat for each visit. Our cat seemed to grow in his attachment to her over time. We ended up with a happy and well adjusted kitty. Consequently our return was smooth and we were able to engage with our cat as if we had never left him. We will definitely call her again whenever we travel.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

Autumn has been very prompt each day, and provided updates and photos. My dogs are having a good time and adapting well to the change. I highly recommend Autumn!”

About: We lost our Great Dane several years ago after having dogs for 35 consecutive years. I signed up for Rover to help fill that “pitter patter, tick tick of the nails across the floor and the wagging tails greeting me at the door” void. The friends we have made through Rover have brought so much happiness and filled a void that I didn’t know would exist. This is my third year on Rover and have made so many new pup friends! Our dog a had a lot of health and anxiety issues and that made it difficult to find the right care for him when we traveled. I hope to remove that obstacle for you and provide you and your pet what you need for a stress free vacation. I have owned or taken care of all kinds of dogs ranging from 5 lbs to 130 lbs and am ready to help you with your dog. I can’t say enough about how much my family enjoys the snuggles and smiles the dogs offer. They quickly become part of the family and we always look forward to when they will return for a visit! I am a very active person and enjoy spending time outside, Going on walks.etc. While I have returned to the office 4 days a week, I have family members home during the day who can help out with letting pups out. I have a large unfenced yard but a great neighborhood for walking. We have 2 kids still at home 14 and 18 who both love dogs.

About: I am a patient and attentive sitter, and will do my absolute best to meet all of your pets' needs while they are in my care. I will treat your furry friends as well as I would treat my own.

I will keep them reined in close to me while on walks to avoid ay possible altercations with other dogs. I will keep unsafe foods (grapes, chocolate, garlic, etc.) away from the pets.

About: Hello! My name is Sejla (Shayla), and caring for dogs is my absolute passion. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing fetch, taking long walks, or simply giving them the love and attention they deserve. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, ensuring their comfort, happiness, and well-being at all times. I understand their unique needs and always go the extra mile to make them feel safe and at ease. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I believe my calm, free-spirited energy helps them feel comfortable and relaxed around me. You can trust that I will not only care for your dog but also give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I currently have a full-time job, Monday-Friday until 4:30PM. My fiance works from home, so he takes care of our dogs when I'm gone. I ensure that the dogs I care for have access to fresh food and water at all times so they’re well-nourished and hydrated. I also take them outside regularly, every 2-4 hours or as necessary, to give them the opportunity to use the bathroom and get some fresh air. This routine helps keep them comfortable and establishes a routine. I live for my two puppies (they're adult dogs, but I still like to call them puppies). :) I would bring them everywhere with me if I could, and anywhere they're allowed I'll take them with me! It's hard for me to pass the Dog aisle and not grab a treat or toy for my puppies. I enjoy taking my pups for walks, or to the dog park, playing with toys, giving them treats and taking a million photos of them. In my home, I prioritize a safe, trusting, and welcoming environment. I make sure the space is dog-proofed by securing anything that could be harmful, such as cords, small objects, and potentially toxic household items. I set up a cozy area where they can rest comfortably and feel at ease, surrounded by familiar toys and bedding. I spend quality time with each dog, giving them affection, attention, and reassurance. I also stick to a consistent schedule, including taking them outside every few hours for bathroom breaks and exercise. I offer flexible pet care services to meet the needs of both you and your dog. Whether you'd prefer your dog to stay in the comfort of your home or come to mine, I will ensure that they receive the same level of care, love, and attention. I'd make sure they're in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their routine, and you can trust that your dog will be treated like family, where they'll feel safe and comfortable. Whichever option works best for you, I’m here to provide the perfect environment to ensure your dog feels happy and secure. I'll be sure to send you photos/videos and updates accordingly as well!

About: I recently lost my beagle of almost 15 years and I’m looking for some furry play time. I have had a dog my whole life and appreciate all types. My beagle had several health ailments throughout his life so I am comfortable with medications and special needs. I was so grateful for the dog sitters I had, I am looking to provide the same comfort and security to you and your dog while you’re away. I currently work full time throughout the week, 8-4pm but my routine and schedule are very flexible if I need to come home during the day. My home has a fenced yard for your dog to get plenty of exercise. I don’t have any other pets in the house on a regular basis.

She asked if it was Ok to bring along her daughter which was great, our kitty really seemed to love her! She played with her on the floor and gave her lots of attention. It is not uncommon for our kitty to hide when new visitors come over but this wasn’t the case this time! It was so reassuring getting photos of our pets while we were gone too. Our 3 guinea pigs were well taken care of as well. I highly recommend Natalie and we hope to use her again, Thank you!”

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wayzata

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wayzata is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 5,588 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wayzata. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayzata. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters 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 sitter.
