Dog Walkers in Aitkin, MN

About: I love all cats and dogs! I have 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I just like meeting pets and their owners. I have no problems or concerns with any breeds. I feel comfortable administering medications. I am able to follow specific directions and can handle a variety of emergency situations. I am a true animal lover and my pets are my family. I would treat your pet as such when you are not with them. I am a teacher, so during the summer months, I am basically available 24 hours a day if needed. When school is in session, I am unavailable from 7 am to 4 pm on days when school is in session. I have 5 acres with a small lake. We do not have a fenced yard, but there are woods around our house that separate us from our closest neighbors, who live in the Twin Cities area and use the house as a cabin. My pets are my family, and I spoil them. Our animals are allowed on the furniture. I have a 6-year-old female yellow Lab mix and a 3-year-old male pitbull. All of my animals are fixed. I have 3 male cats who live inside, ages 5 to 8. We also have 3 cats: a mama (age unknown) and her son and daughter (who will be 1 year old in the summer of 2026), who are outside/shop cats. The cats are not declawed. I have 2 teenage boys who love animals, as does my husband. We rarely have visitors, and those we do have are family or very close friends. We have a gate to separate our upstairs and downstairs if needed.

“Kaitlin is awesome. She came twice a day for a week to walk our dog. She’s reliable and I knew our dog was in good hands so we could enjoy our trip.”

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: My house is a great place for dogs to stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, I have plenty of room in the house, and have 13 acres of wooded property for them to enjoy when we go outside! ***Fall 2023 update**** I now have a fenced in backyard to utilize with pups coming over to visit! I have had a dog of my own growing up for 12 years. Currently, though I do not have any dogs. I used to volunteer part-time to train future service puppies for the blind for over 3 years. ( I have worked with 9 or 10 dogs in the Leader Dog for the Blind program) I have a flexible schedule, and I'm always willing to figure out a solid plan with potential people who need a sitter for their awesome furry friends. I am capable of working and looking after dogs with medical needs as well :). I have worked in probation, law enforcement, corrections, and mental health for over 11 years now. I am a very energetic person who enjoys exercising, and enjoy bringing dogs for walks. I have been on Rover for 4 years I enjoy traveling the world in my free time. ***I respond to requests generally within 10 minutes*** I have a pretty flexible schedule so I will do my best to assist with whatever drop off or pick up time you may have :). I now have a fenced in area in my backyard. My driveway is about a 1/4 mile from my house to the road so traffic is not a concern. I can crate if requested.

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a real love for animals. I currently work at The Babinski Foundation, where I’ve learned a lot about taking care of pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and behaviors. Working there has given me a lot of experience and knowledge about how to keep animals safe, happy, and healthy. As a pet sitter, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. What makes me different is how much I truly care about animals and how much I enjoy spending time with them. I always give pets lots of attention, patience, and kindness. I want them to feel at home with me and to know they’re in good hands. As a pet sitter I go above and beyond to provide personalized care for each pet I look after. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love and empathy for animals. I treat each pet as if they were my own, showering them with affection, attention, and patience. I strive to create a bind of trust and companionship with every pet, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 4. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small creatures. I do well with grooming, bathing, walks, and car rides. I’m currently doing online college. So I’m home all day! I have a fenced in yard for your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fenced in yard, leashes, to keep your fur baby safe. Plenty of access to walk and shade, and beds! Big or small

About: My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.
