“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”
“Emily took excellent care of our cats while we were away for 10 days. The boys loved spending time with her and playing! Our girl Mikasa is skittish around new people and took a few days to warm up, but Emily was very patient with her and won her over. Emily was on top of all their care and we felt at ease while we were away. Definitely will rebook for future trips!”
“Alicja was great and was able to come over after a very last minute request! Took great care of my kitties, gave my diabetic cat insulin and even took out the garbage on the way out! Would definitely rebook and recommend to others! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was 7! I grew up around dogs, cats, and even horses from time to time! Most recently, I lived with a cat in college and now take care of the sweetest 11 month old golden doodle puppy named Oslo. I love animals, and I would love to help make your day easier with some quality pet care :) I’m currently on the job hunt after graduating in May, so I am happy to help whenever and wherever needed as my schedule is quite flexible. I am a very active person and would love to take your pet for a walk! I am also completely happy chilling inside and providing company. I am adaptable to what your specific needs are.
About: I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. (Dogs, cats, parakeets, etc) For the past several years I've been caring for dogs in my spare time and remembered how much I love it. Because of some family responsibilities I cannot own another pet at the moment, but taking care of them is the next best thing. I'm currently taking a mid-life career break after living in Europe for several years. I'm very lucky that I have a flexible schedule to care for dogs. I have an unfenced yard in a private and quiet neighborhood in Wayzata. I've also done in-home pet sitting in the area and am perfectly comfortable doing that as well.
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!
“I highly recommend Matthew to watch your pet. He did an amazing job caring for our elderly Maltese. He communicated very well and ensured our little dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with him.”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my new kittens while I was out of town for a few days. Samantha made everything so easy and it was obvious that my kittens were in very caring hands. She sent updates and pictures with every visit, which always helped put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be reaching back out to Samantha the next time I need some help watching my little buddies!”
About: We have had dogs our entire lives. We have been fostering for Underdog Rescue for the past nine years and have experience with both little puppies and senior dogs. 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! 🐶
“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: Have taken care of family’s dog since I was in middle school. I also have taken care of other family members dogs too. I have experience with obedience training. Have fostered dogs too. I have a flexible work schedule so, I’m flexible to the dog’s needs! I go to the gym and workout everyday so taking the dog outside before and after the gym would be a priority of mine! Keep the dog on a consistent schedule they are on with their humans, I don’t want to disrupt that too much. Keeping the dog calm, content, and safe is my top priority!!
“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: I'm a lifelong dog lover, and over the past 5 years I've been dog-sitting for family and friends regularly. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, as well as some experience with rescues and puppies. I love taking dogs on long walks on the trails near my house and cuddling up while reading or watching a movie at home! I am a student taking online classes, so during the work week I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during the day. I work in the evenings on the weekend, so I'm only available for overnight boarding and sitting during the week. I live in a quiet area with my parents, one of whom works from home during the week. Our dog passed a few months ago (she was 15!), so we're missing having a companion at home and have lots of love to give. I'm within a 5 minute walk to multiple parks and trails for walks. There is also a large yard, however it isn't fenced, so leashes are a must!
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).
“Jennifer was able to come out on short notice, was flexible about the possibility of additional visits, and noticed that I forgot to mention feeding Angela even though we were out for a day and a half. Angela was very happy to be visited by her!”
About: Hi! I’m McKenzie, and I’ve always been a huge dog lover! I have lots of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have been around dogs my whole life and have been a doggie sitter for friends/family for 5 years! Whether that means going on walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply keeping them company. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve! I have a full time corporate job from 7:45-4:15 Monday-Friday, my available hours would need to fit around that! I also have various weekends open if planned ahead! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable and at home. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

Emily took excellent care of our cats while we were away for 10 days. The boys loved spending time with her and playing! Our girl Mikasa is skittish around new people and took a few days to warm up, but Emily was very patient with her and won her over. Emily was on top of all their care and we felt at ease while we were away. Definitely will rebook for future trips!
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.
Tori was awesome! She instinctively knew how to make my cat comfortable with her, and he was happy to play and snuggle when she visited. Tori provided pictures and messages with each visit, and she always left the house secure when she finished her visit. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 5,790 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayzata. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 .
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.
