“Sharron does a great job and communicates well with us on schedule adjustments. Fiona my Goodendoodle waits at the door for her to pull up to the house and is excited to see her every walk.”
“Emma is always excited to see Carolyn for her walk. She fell for Carolyn right off the bat. Emma does not always do that. She is a good judge of character.”
“Sarah did another great job walking Isabella today. Isa was so excited for her arrival and was happy and ready to rest afterwards. We look forward to continuing to have Sarah care for Isa!”

“Lindsay did a great job of walking Gracie and her reliability and communication is spectacular! She was very detail oriented at our meet and greet answering all my neurotic pet owner questions along with helping me learn to navigate Rover. Gracie and I are looking forward to more walks with her!”
“Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.”
“I really appreciated Gabby‘s willingness to walk my dog in the rain. It’s so difficult sometimes to get my dog out when the weather is not cooperating so this was awesome :-)”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs at every stage, from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I’ve cared for senior dogs through mobility challenges, including taking my senior dog to aqua therapy and learning how to safely help my Boxer-Lab mix navigate stairs with arthritis. My Shih Tzu eventually experienced both blindness and significant hearing loss, but that never dampened their zest for life. Those experiences taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and abilities. As for what I enjoy most? It’s a tie between walking dogs on a beautiful day and settling in for some serious snuggle time and belly rubs. And yes—pooper scooping is absolutely no problem! I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your dog is energetic, elderly, extra cuddly, or needs a little additional help getting around, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care, patience, and affection they deserve. I currently work part-time Monday through Friday, as an AmeriCorps volunteer reading tutor, which gives me the flexibility to devote time to something else I truly love—animals! Potty breaks or walks every 2–4 hours are no problem, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. Plus, walking your dog gives me a great excuse to get some exercise myself! I’m also available for weekend house sitting with your pet, including stays that begin Friday and extend through Monday. My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a meaningful part of my life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings, so I’m happy to care for them in their home. I respect your home, your routines, and—most importantly—your wishes for your pet’s care. I carefully follow your instructions so your pet’s schedule stays as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. My approach is gentle, patient, and attentive. I take the time to get to know each pet and let them set the pace, whether they want a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence. I also believe that caring for your pet means caring for your home. I’m tidy and respectful, and I will leave your home as I found it—or a little cleaner. My goal is for you to come home knowing your pet was loved and well cared for, and that your home was treated with the same respect I would want for my own.

I am a proud community activist, veteran advocate, and behavioral and cognitive skills trainer. I have degrees in law enforcement and criminal justice, as well as certificates in private security. As I mentioned I have flexibility in my schedule and just need to be notified in advance of when my services are needed. Dog walking I can drop in and provide such service anywhere in the cities, and times are flexible if notified in advance My home has two levels, plenty of space, a balcony and fenced in front yard. I have a backyard as well. The home is clean and can ensure the pets continued safety and comfort. I am willing and able to commute to pet sit in the event of a client working or being out of town. There is a cat in my home who is good with other animals and very friendly himself.
“When new military orders came, we found ourselves in desperate need of someone we could trust to take care of our two very kind, but sometimes very anxious doggos. Despite having only a short introductions, Katherine was an answer to our prayers. She was incredibly professional in communication, took photos of our pups on long walks, and even helped us when we needed last-minute additional walks. I can not recommend her enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Saint Paul
As always, Jill goes above and beyond when she cares or our dogs. We had an early morning event to attend, so we fed the dogs and arranged with Jill to come and give them a walk around 8:00. She did that, played fetch with our younger dog and did a little cleanup on our older dog's rear. She also takes great pictures of them while she's caring for them, which always make us smile. She's the best!
Sarah did an excellent job walking Hazel while our family was out of town. She was on time, friendly and great with an energetic lab. She paid special attention when we let her know that Hazel gets anxious while around other dogs and on a leash, and came up with some tricks to ease her anxiety. We’d absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone needing a dog walker!
Xinia has been great with my dog! She shows up on time is very kind to my Frenchie Harriet and even gets her stubborn doggie butt to go on a walk with her. Harriet is usually difficult to walk for strangers as she just stops and acts stubborn. The last time Xinia walked her Harriet was excited to see her for a walk! This is has been wonderful for me since I can't walk her for a while as I just had foot surgery.

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 walker.
