“Heidi is great to work with and highly recommended. I greatly appreciated the pics and videos she sent - it's comforting to know the dogs were happy and kept busy during her visit. I will certainly book with Heidi again!”
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience raising multiple Norwegian Elkhounds, I’ve turned daily dog park visits into a joyful, high-energy ritual. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or simply needs attentive full-time care, I’m here to provide it. From playful puppies to wise senior dogs, I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs—ensuring comfort, companionship, and peace of mind for you. Regular Off-Leash Dog Parkvisits to these parks: Susan E. Lurton Park - Orono Lake Minnewashta - Excelsior Carver Park Reserve - Victoria Pet care works well for me as I only have part time work with an investment thesis I am writing about. Local to Deephaven and the Lake Minnetonka area for 10+ years. I have a fenced yard and one 9 year old Norwegian Elk Hound who is dog friendly or I am able to dog/house sit at your place. Glad to provide a daily update.
About: I'm a dog lover who relishes time bonding with pets. I have two of my own who some (my husband!) think I over indulge with attention. I'm responsible and reliable. I'm self employed and work from home so have complete flexibility in dates and times available. I prefer to avoid late nights, but can be flexible if needed. I'm available to do any of the basic in-home care, including feeding, walking, playing. I'm happy to crate if needed, or any other requirements including administering medicine.
“I couldn't be happier with the experience! She provided updates and adorable photos, which put my mind at ease. My dogs were happy and well-cared for, and I could tell they received plenty of attention and playtime. Payton was very responsible, sticking to my dog's routine and ensuring they felt comfortable throughout the time. I highly recommend for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely book them again in the future!”
“First time working with Natalie to take care of and check on my senior, special needs dog. She was on time, gave useful updates, made sure my dog had her medication, and provided great photos. Looking forward to having Natalie take care of my dog when I have to be away from home in the future. Thanks!”
“Sophia is great and we had a wonderful experience! Our dog Peep is sweet but has her quirks so finding the right person was important. Sophia is patient, attentive, and understood our pup. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and we loved receiving the updates and pictures. It was obvious she was well cared for and loved! Will absolutely book with her again 🐶☺️”
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Wonderful service! We were in a real pinch and couldn’t leave our 5 month old puppy alone all day and Karen and Brian responded quickly and were able to help do two visits for our doggo. They sent great pictures and really connected us with the experience. Super communicative, can’t say enough good things. Thanks again!”
“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.”
“Brooke took great care of our dog and cat! She was reliable and thoughtful, and stayed with our dog until he ate each visit. Our grouchy cat even enjoyed her company and purred for her when she came over!”
“We like to travel, and Marla has become key partner for us to be able to leave our cats, knowing Marla will take very good care of them. She is very responsible and follows all instructions, she sends us pictures and we feel she really cares. Thank you Marla!”
“Peep had the best time with Gabby! 🐾 She did such a great job caring for my quirky little girl, who needs a bit of extra attention. Gabby was wonderful about communicating, sending updates, and sharing pictures while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Rola did a fantastic job with our two dogs during her drop-in visit. She was on time, friendly, and made sure both pups were cared for and happy. I I appreciated her attention to detail and the updates she provided. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care!”
“Ed was diligent, punctual, and reliable. He was extremely patient with our senior cat, whose care can be challenging, and used creative problem solving to manage her quirks. His communications were detailed, entertaining, and filled with humor. He clearly enjoyed providing care to our two cats and we would have him back in a heartbeat.”
“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayzata
We are always so nervous leaving our cats at home when we travel but Emily made us feel so confident and comfortable that they were in the best hands! She was attentive to every detail we mentioned and really spent time with both cats. From the amazing updates and photos we received we could tell that our cats were happy and comfortable and so well taken care of. We would highly recommend Emily!
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 for Pet Sitting in Wayzata on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wayzata. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayzata. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, 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.
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.
