Dog Walking Arnold

About: I have experience when dog-sitting my dogs, family dogs, and friends' dogs. I worked with all sizes. I've worked with reactive dogs and easy-going dogs. I have also taken care of senior dogs and puppies. I have had a puppy as my own and senior dogs as my own as well as reactive dogs. I am very comfortable with walking dogs and taking care of them! I do work a part time job, I usually work in the morning times and am off after 12. I have a car so can make anytime work! I don't have pets at my own home due to having roommates and other pets in the home. I am willing to take care of your furry friend at your house! I will take them potty, on a walk, make sure they have water or if they need to be fed. I will also make sure they have what they need, such as toys, water, food, and attention of course! and are put where they need to be!

About: Hi there! I am an animal care specialist here in Duluth with a degree in Zoo & Conservation Science. Most importantly, I absolutely love ALL animals! I have over a decade of experience caring for my own pets at home including dogs, cats, and some farm animals! I also have 5 years of professional animal care experience in college and beyond. I am experienced at caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. Handling more than one dog on walks or sittings is also easy peasy! My specialized training enables me to safely administer medicine and I have an eagle eye when it comes to monitoring health issues. Pets are an important part of the family and I do not take that lightly! I am prepared to handle any weather Duluth throws my way! With my skills reading animal emotions/behavior combined with my genuine love for animals, you can know your pet will have a FURTASTIC time with me! I work full time (Thursday-Monday) but I’m happy to stop by for quick visits on my lunch break if necessary! I have 2 consecutive days off (Tuesday & Wednesday) if your pet needs more attentive care. I am very comfortable crating, putting on leashes/harnesses, feeding/watering, medicating, and whatever else is needed to care for your pet. I am renting so I cannot care for pets in my own home unfortunately.

About: Many pets do well with a set schedule and I am someone who thrives on routine. My ability to stick to a schedule while maintaining fun engagement creates quality care. Im currently working part time and a part time college student. I always have monday and wednesdays off and every other weekend. Other days/nights I likely will be available to sit. Send me a message and we can discuss more! In my home every morning I clean my cats litter box, apply his medication, clean his water bowl and give him his wet and dry food. My cat is leash trained so we go on walks outside frequently. If there is any mess from my pets or clients pets I promptly clean it up as I think a clean environment promotes a happy animal.

“She was great, responsive and punctual as well.”

About: I’ve had family pets my whole life and I worked at a humane society for four years with both cats and dogs. Over the years I’ve pet sit for quite a few families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time hangout with your doggos. I’m usually working only twice a week with the weekends off so I have lots of free time during the week to check up on the animals. Currently I’m not able to board any animals at my house because I’m renting. When I pet sit for people I love to spend time with the animals, playing with them and giving them lots of pets and attention. Basically treat them like my puppies which are back at my parents house.

About: I've grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, though I only lived with one in my teens! I helped care for him through the last of his late years up until he passed, so I also have experience with caring for seniors and those with mobility issues. I've also had experience caring for multiple cats at a time for 4 years. If they're furry, I'll most definitely want to pet them! I currently work full time at a cafe with flexible hours, so if you are in need of an extra early or extra late drop-in, I'll be able to help out there! I can also do mid-day check-ins as well. As long as I get a good amount of time as a head's up, I'll be able to drop in at any time! I am super respectful of others' rules when it comes to their pet care. I am coming into their space, after all. Making sure I leave the home tidy after a play session is important as well!

About: I have over 7 years experience supervising at dog daycares and boarding facilities in Orlando, the Twin Cities and Duluth. I was also an Animal Care Officer for the city of Minneapolis where I took care of pets of all kinds. I would love to spend time with your dog(s)! I work from home so I have lots of time to take care of and spend time with your pup(s). We enjoy spending time outdoors with our dogs and going on daily walks. We have a fenced yard along with two friendly dogs, a 2 year old Golden Retriever and a Heinz 57, 25lb bundle of joy. We also have a family cat who isn’t bothered by dogs.

About: I have taken care of my family dogs and cats since I was young. I got my own dog at 17, raising him as a new puppy. I also cared for my lab as he was getting ready to pass. I love all dogs, big or small. I have 2 cats with my boyfriend and love laser games and playing with cat toys. I am a former college athlete and love being active, especially with animals. I am going to be starting medical school at the University of Minnesota this fall. I love long walks and playing with animals. I have a flexible schedule to stop in and care for your sweet pets. I have grown up with small, medium, and large dogs and have learned how to handle and walk all of the appropriately. I have 2 cats now, that love playing with lasers and are easy to handle. I have handled cats when they are uncomfortable and know how to avoid injury and clear the cat from a stressful situation. I will do everything to protect your pets and provide them with quality care.

About: Please reach out with any questions or concerns! :) I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up around dogs (small, medium, big) and cats. I’ve owned a cat for over half my life and have always taken care of her myself. When I was younger I also helped care for calves and cows, although I’m not sure if that experience will apply here. I have some experience administering medication (pills, eye lubricants and oral syringes) to dogs and cats as well! I regularly visit my parents’ dogs during the day all week, and I spend lots of time with my cat at home. I would love to designate more of my schedule to seeing more pets! Giving attention to animals is my priority to make them feel loved and cared for in the absence of their person/people. Additionally, giving them space when they display a need for it is vital to form a functioning, healthy dynamic with new animals.

About: I have over 20 years of professional experience working with pets and have had family pets my entire life. I have extensive knowledge of dog and cat care, including medicating, basic training, and senior care including diabetes injections. I have worked in vet boarding and pet sales at both local and corporate retailers for over 20 years. Pets have always been a part of my life, dogs, cats, fish, reptiles/amphibians, birds, small animals, poultry, and small livestock have all been a part of my family! I currently have a young dog, 2 senior cats, an ancient turtle, and many aquariums. I am also a plant lover and am happy to care for your photosynthetic friends as well! I am currently working part time and have a flexible schedule to care for your pets! I have a reliable vehicle and dedicated work ethic. The comfort and safety of your pets will be my priority during visits. My own pets are treated with compassion and dignity, I strive to treat all animals this way. I am extremely observant of environmental factors involving safety. Did I latch the gate and lock the door? Absolutely, I double check every time I let my own dog outside even when I am certain the gate is closed. I will notice subtle changes in your pets behavior after I get to know them. I have extensive care for pets experiencing UTIs, seizures, diabetes, allergies, and other age relates illnesses. Your home is your sanctuary and your pets are family, both will be treated with respect and concern.

“I received a cuter pic of my dog sitting so pretty than I’ve ever been able to take. Sav was punctual and had good communication throughout. I know my dog is in good hands. Will book again!!”

About: Hi! My name is Mara, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and your home while you’re away. I have grown up with multiple dogs and have always loved being around animals. Over the years, I have also provided dog sitting and house sitting for neighbors and family members, caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience providing more specialized care, including administering IV medication for an elderly animal I was watching. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention to detail, and following care instructions carefully. My background working in childcare, summer camps, and other safety-focused roles has helped me become dependable, organized, and attentive. I will treat your pets like they are my own and your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I am happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide consistent and reliable care. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat each pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own. I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are well cared for.

“Rachel was great!! My pooch was excited to see her every day and he got good walks from her. I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have been working as a CNA with the majority of my time being focused on senior care for the past 2 years. I have 2 dogs at home and occasionally dog sit for my neighbors and family members. I am a college student with very flexible weekday timing! I have a bunch of random gaps in my day making it easy to stop by or a quick walk! I will not offer pet care in my home as my lease does not allow it. I am very dependable and caring towards all animals!

“Emma has taken care of my dogs multiple times when I’m away. She’s been easy to work with, very reliable, and has kept me well informed as to how my pups are doing. Highly recommended.”

“Thank you so much! My pup is shy and scared but did so well with your patience! We appreciate ya!”

About: Rover is my full time gig, so when I'm sitting pets I'm in the house 90% of the time. I may leave to go to the gym or to a family function, otherwise I'm hanging out with my new friends. I've sat older pups, younger pups, sick pups, huge pups and every kind in between and I've learned that sometimes you need patience and some times you need cleaning supplies but it's always a joy :) I am in between jobs at the moment so I have got plenty of time to walk and play and visit with anyone and everyone I am often the one checking in on my mom's four dogs during the day, letting them out and playing with them, making sure they've got food and water. I love a nice long walk as much as any pooch, and dog parks are a blast too

About: Every dog or cat has their own personality, quirks, and needs. I've had pets my entire life and people say I'm a dog whisperer. I'm not really...I just understand what motivates them (treats, love, or praise) and I work with that. My dogs and cats were always like family, and I treat other people's pets like family. I worry about mine when I'm away, so I want people to know that I understand those feelings and that their pets are in good hands. I've also had rodents and reptiles, so I can watch after them too. I do this work simply because I love animals and exercise, so this is perfect. Socialization with new people and reinforcing training material (like basic commands) is mentally beneficial for pets too. Lastly, I'm a retired government employee, so I've had quite the variety of background checks - you will find me honest, reliable and committed. Since I am retired, I can accept drop-in's or walks throughout out the day. Last minute or same day requests are a real possibility depending on when you contact me. I'm quite flexible. I'm not boarding at this time. As far as caring for your pet in your home, I will follow your instructions implicitly. When I have others take care of my own dog and they don't follow my requests, it drives me nuts!
