Dog Walkers in Merrifield, MN

“Emily is great! She responds in a timely fashion and is super flexible. She takes great care of my furbaby!”

About: Rised on a hobby farm so grew up with all sorts of animals. My very own puppy came to me when i was 12 years old and have had a fur baby pretty much since. Have had some training in puppy classes and obedience. Have work with Bark Busters of the Twin Cities. Over the last 6 plus years I have joined a pet service company based out of the Twin Cities who specialize in doggy day care, dog walks, pet sitting for vacation clients in their home and also in our home. Pets come first. Working from home gives us the flexibility to care for your pets 24/7. Plenty of exercise, play time and of course scratches and love time. When pets come into our home we treat them as if they are our own. Currently the big back yard is not fenced in, however that will be changing very soon. In the meantime we will be going on more walks and being outside with your pets on a leash. We have one furbaby, and he is definitely a spoiled baby. If for some reason our pets do not get along, we will have a separation for our pets to keep all safe and yet still make sure that your pet feels like they are at their 2nd home. We will customized your home habits as you request. Crated as needed or want by our clients.

His sense of humor can seem odd at times, but don't let that dismay you. He is genuinely a caring person. He loves animals and animals love him.

“Kathryn is awesome ♡ i love that she uses the updates on the app. Its so fun to see where they walk, how far they walk, and to get little cute photo updates when I'm at work! She's great!”

“Eric is highly responsible, trustworthy and reliable. He loves to be outdoors and is active so if you're looking for someone to wear out your pup, Eric is the guy. He will give your dog tons of attention and love while you are away.”

“Elizabeth is wonderful! We recently booked her for the first time, and she was so patient and gentle with our somewhat timid dog. Finley warmed up to her quickly & had the best time! Elizabeth is very professional- great communication and we loved the cute pics of our dog. We highly recommend her!”

“Karen is absolutely amazing!! Winston is so happy to see her for their walks.”

“Emily is the biggest animal lover I know! Very caring and loving person all around! I would recommend Emily to anyone who needed a babysitter, and not just for dogs! ;)”

“Alli loves animals. Dogs, cats, fish, lizards…she loves them all! And they love her. I would not hesitate to have Alli look after your furry friends, she will love them as if they were her own! Any pet would be lucky to have Alli in their life.”

About: i have dog sat for multiple people and love all dogs/ cats. i have experience with puppies and also older dogs. i would prefer to not have the dog be aggressive if possible. i have also taken care of a couple cats and would feel comfortable doing that also! Right now i am working around 30 hours a week but i work during the day so i’ll be able to let them out and i don’t work full 8 hour shifts so they wouldn’t be home alone too long! I will make sure to follow all the instructions you give me while taking care of your pets, because i know they’re your family and i wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.

“Chrysi is amazing with all animals! I have seen the way she handles dogs and she is what most would refer to as an animal whisperer. She forms a connection with them and always puts their needs as a top priority. She's very reliable, always responsive and one of the best pet parents I know. I would trust all 5 of my fur babies with her 100%. Your pets are very lucky if they get to meet Chrysi!”

“Sydney T is a very resourceful & responsible young lady. She just graduated from college from Suffolk University in Boston Mass. She owns a dog back in Minnesota. She's very compassionate with all animals. She certainly can be well trusted with other people's pets & will show great respect.”

“Brooke has always loved and cared for animals! She is the sweetest and most caring person ever! She has always cared for animals and loves and will care for your fur baby like it’s her own!”

About: I've had or taken care of pets since I was a child. In my own life raising puppies and caring for those pets when they got old. Friends have often relied on me to care for their fur babies while on vacation. I'm patient and caring. Potty breaks, Play time, walks or overnights. Smaller dogs welcome at my home, otherwise I would be open to house sitting options also. Let's talk I live in a quiet neighborhood but would always have your pet on leash for walks and potty time. I currently do not have any pets at home.

“Hi! My names Mahek and i’ve had Hannah take care of my 6 cats multiple times! i’ve had to go on month long vacations often due to family purposes, and throughout the whole month, Hannah has made sure to go visit my furry babies every day, and update me with pictures, videos, and video calls! She’s excellent at efficiency and keeping the area clean, she even went the extra mile to buy her own treats for the cats and confirm with me if it was okay to feed them the treats the had purchased! She’s pet-sat my cats over 8 times, each time about 3-4 weeks long, and they absolutely love her! I wouldn’t choose anybody else as my pet-sitter besides Hannah Hillan! Thank you Hannah!”

“Michelle is such a joy! She is easy to work with and is great with dogs. I would highly recommend her to care for your dogs.”

About: My family and I love pets! We would love to have your dog stay with us and enjoy all the comforts of home! We have children who are sure to give your pet loads of extra attention. I am a (mostly) stay-at-home mom! This means your pet will have near constant companionship while in our care. They will be loved, cared for, and treated as a member of the family. We have a fenced in yard and go for a lot of walks! Your pet will be hanging out with a family, not left alone in a kennel.

About: I moved to Brainerd with my husband and 2 adorable cats in August of 2020. I currently work from home and am happy to offer pet sitting services to the local community. In addition to having my own pets, I have been pet sitting from before I was old enough to legally work 😅 I have experience fostering cats, providing medicine (including oral meds, ear drops, insulin shots, eye drops, etc), and staying overnight in homes to care for dogs. I work full time from home, so I am able to be with your pet 24/7 for in-home services. I also have the flexibility to drop in in the morning, around lunchtime, and evenings after work. I rely on the owners providing good information about the pets’ caregiving routine and any special needs. I am aware of household toxins to animals, and am careful to avoid exposing them to things like cleaning chemicals or toxic foods. I try to make sure dogs go outside throughout the day without waiting too long for bathroom breaks.

About: I have had a pet dog since I was born I had a two labs and now I have a golden retriever. They all had different personality and traits to them, I have been around dogs my whole life and I love them lots! I take care of my neighbors dogs and cats when on vacation or just need help. I am going to be a senior in highschool just looking for some extra money, I have practice in the mornings tell 10 and after that I’m free all night I have a golden retriever who is so sweet and calm, I have a lake they can swim in and crates if needed. We have a fenced in yard also.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was 10 not because I had too. But, because I was always so fonded by the bond you can have with your animal I am currently going doing online school right so I have all the free time in the world and I’m in need of making a little money I live in a secluded area. And my other house hold members feel the same way I do about animals , we also capture moments and take picturess
