Natalie was a godsend when I had to go out of town and my family was unable to get our dog out for proper walks. And she came despite the frigid temps! She was super communicative, happy to help and seemed to enjoy our pup. Definitely booking again!

Steve was wonderful with Mac over the past few weeks. He took excellent care of him and paid close attention to Mac’s cues, helping him feel safe and happy during their walks. Mac was always happy to see Steve at the door—a sure sign he was having a fun time. Thanks again, Steve! :)

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

We cannot thank Lindsay enough for taking such wonderful care of our dog while we were away! It’s always hard to leave our pup, but Lindsay gave us total peace of mind by sending daily photos and updates. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly loved Lindsay. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive, and loving pet sitter, she is the best. We will definitely be booking her again!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up, my parents brought home not one, but two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Olive and Winnie. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve gained experience providing the extra care that senior dogs often need. Winnie is diabetic, so I am comfortable administering insulin and monitoring her health. She is also deaf, which has taught me the importance of staying attentive and adapting communication to meet her needs. Olive has only a few teeth left, so I’ve helped adjust her diet by softening her kibble with broth to make mealtimes easier and more comfortable for her. Caring for both dogs has given me firsthand experience with senior dogs, special-needs pets, medication administration, and the patience and attention required to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am a teacher currently on summer break and working part time at caribou coffee, so I will have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting! I am available every day of the week, and alternating weekends. Whenever I am caring for a pet, I treat them as if they are my own. I have a lot of experience with dogs and dog sitting, as I have two family dogs, and have dogsat in the past

About: I have 20 years of experience and believe in loving your furry family member the way I would want someone to care for my own child. I understand that pets aren't just animals—they're beloved family members, and being trusted with their care is being trusted with their life. My 8 year old daughter & I are a team this summer and we can't wait to give double the love and attention to your furry family member. I pride myself on providing dependable, attentive care while keeping pet parents informed if they wish by giving regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, dog parks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, they will receive care personalized to their individual needs and personality. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies who require patience, consistency, close supervision, and attention to detail. I stay highly engaged to ensure young pets are safe, learning good habits, getting plenty of enrichment, and receiving the structure they need to thrive. I am equally comfortable caring for senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication administration, accommodations, or extra attention. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your pet feels comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. Boarding & House Sitting availability depends on the week but typically includes Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesday's, Most Thursday's, Most Friday's, and Some Saturday's. We are unavailable Sunday's after 9:00 AM in order to make it to church on time but have some weeks with Sunday evening availability. My daughter & I have plenty of availability for dog walks and drop-in's and rarely have a day with no availability. We are an active household and go on anywhere from 1-5 walks in a day (as long as the sun is shining, water and snacks are in the backpack, and were not dripping with sweat). Day Care availability includes Monday's (All Day), Tuesday's (All Day), Wednesday's (Morning Only). Thursday's (Night Only), Every Other Saturday (All Day). Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. Our apartment community in the Hopkins/Minnetonka area is very pet-friendly, with a dog park located just steps from our front door and beautiful walking paths that wind throughout the neighborhood and around the Carlson Towers area. These paths provide plenty of opportunities for exercise, sniffing adventures, fresh air, and mental enrichment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect and follow the routines, preferences, and instructions that help pets feel most comfortable. No matter how high-maintenance your furry family member might be (I get it), I'm happy to do I understand that consistency is important for everyone, pets included, especially when their favorite safety humans are away. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

Cherie was amazing while caring for/walking my dear Abuelo. He has since transitioned above. Cherie accommodated my crazy work schedule which was a huge help! Always a great communicator & updated me when needed. Cherie will always be considered a member of Abuelos Village who cared for him. Thankful we met. Blessing to all the future fur babies 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Isabelle, and if there’s an animal in the room, chances are you’ll find me hanging out with it. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all kinds. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or your cat prefers a quiet companion and some extra treats, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and spoil them with lots of love and attention! I have a very flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a wide range of days and times, including weekdays, weekends, and last minute requests when needed. I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 8 years now and I have experience maintaining long term customers. I absolutely adore pets and love spending time and taking care of them! Day to day pet sitting is my primary focus! I otherwise spend time as a freelance artist which fits easily into my days caring for pets. I am very respectful of other people’s boundaries when it comes to their homes. If I am house sitting for you I will only be in the areas necessary for me to work. I also make sure to leave my client’s homes wonderfully clean.

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea! My husband Nate works from home and have a mini golden doodle that loves new friends. I have a large yard for dogs to play and typically book one overnight client at a time so I can give them the proper attention they need. We are currently only accepting non-shedding dogs. My pup, Milo, is extremely social and loves all dogs! He loves to play and loves to meet new friends! When watching dogs we go on walks every day, play lots outside, and love to explore new parks/dog friendly areas. I have a very clean home and have plenty of room for your pup. We both grew up raising dogs of our own and have experience with several breeds and personalities. We go on walks every day and get lots of time outdoors. One of us works from home each day of the week allowing us to have plenty of attention on the dogs we are caring for. I am flexible, easy to work with, take direction very well, and will send plenty of pics if you’d like to see your dog while in our care! :)

About: With over 4 years of dog sitting experience for multiple families, and nearly 2 years in pet hospitality, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and varying health conditions! I have experience in safely administering medications to numerous dogs including oral medications as well as eye and ear treatments. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs! I am available throughout the week, including weekends, and can provide consistent supervision, exercise, feeding, and administer medication if required. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, medication administration (such as oral medications, eye drops, and ear drops), and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, and plenty of affection to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're apart.

Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!

About: Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by dogs, spending my childhood and college years caring for and loving on them. Over the years, I've gained experience dog sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients, and I truly have loved every opportunity to do so. Walks are a staple of my own daily routine with our rescued Goldendoodle, who joined our family nearly two years ago and has been the most rewarding journey. Outside of pet care, I've been married for two years and am currently in the second year of my Master's in Clinical Counseling. My hybrid and flexible class schedule allows me to provide dependable, quality care, and I'm grateful that this season of life has brought me back to Rover to support families and their animals who bring so much joy. I will always do my best to make sure your pets receive all the love and attention they can get while you are away. I can also provide some light grooming by chance the pets get dirty and need a bath, or just brushing them to make sure they don't get matted! I have also taken care of birds and other small house pets (guinea pigs, goldfish, etc.) and am happy to support in this way. I have a flexible graduate school schedule that is hybrid, so I am able to cater to nearly any of your dogs needs throughout the day! If I am out and about while I am watching them, I always make sure to not be gone too long / longer than they are used to being alone for. I will always ensure that any latches on gates and fences are closed before I let your dog out into a yard if you have one, as well as double checking their collar and leash are attached correctly when we go out on walks or to the bathroom! If you have any gates up indoors I will make sure to keep these in place, as well as not allow them on any furniture you request they stay off of. I will take note of any specific safety considerations you advise me of, as well - you know your pets best!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Wayzata

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Wayzata on Rover is $17.12 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,597 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wayzata. 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 Wayzata. 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 Wayzata.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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

  • 92% 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.
