Dog Walkers in Arnold, MN

About: I love animals. My childhood cat was my bestie, my current cat (a 2-year-old cutie named Ghost) is my soul kitty, and I consider my friends’ pets my furry nieces and nephews. :) I’ve been pet sitting (dogs and cats) for friends and family for at least 15 years (probably longer!), and I truly love caring for their pets. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them love, food, pets, walks, and playtime when you’re not able to. I work from home and have a pretty flexible job. Because of that, arranging drop-in visits or dog walks in the Duluth area will be easy. I work to create a calm, safe atmosphere for pets, so they can get to know me on their terms and learn to trust me. I like doing drop-in visits because it allows the pet to be in their own space, where they feel most comfortable, while they get to know a new face. :)

About: I have had all types of animals since the age of 4: Dogs, rescue dogs, cats, bunnies, ducks, chickens, birds, horses, etc. It’s safe to say I have a ton of experience, knowledge, and confidence when it comes to caring for your furry friend! I am a public school teacher, so I won’t be available between 8am to 5pm during the work week. I am extremely flexible and can make most accommodations work. I am able to do anything to make your pet feel loved, safe, and comfortable in my care. This will require clear and direct communication about your pets character and habits to ensure your pet is happy and comfortable.

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 any 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.

“My boys (and I) have absolutely loved having Nicole come by on a regular basis. There are always updates and pictures from every encounter. The attention and affection the pups get during the day is amazing, would recommend in a heartbeat.”

“Raina enjoyed her walk.”

“We are grateful to have connected with Lori for dog care. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time at meet and greet to get to know our pet. We would definitely recommend Lori!”

Janelle L.

“Peter made sure my pup was cared for. He had career for her many months previously and remembered her special needs. He also took initiative to coordinate care with another person I had asked to stop in to check on my dog. Reliable.”

Chris D.

“Mazikeen loved her walk! Will definitely be scheduling her next one with Chrissy!”

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!

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

“Cassie was very professional and took such great care of my puppy! It was my first time using Rover and I was very impressed with Cassie’s excellent communication and attentiveness.”

About: Hi there! If you’re looking for someone who truly adores animals, you’ve come to the right place! From childhood through high school, I spent my time walking neighborhood dogs alongside caring for our own family pets. I was known around the neighborhood as the reliable babysitter and animal lover everyone could count on! At 17, I took on the rewarding challenge of training my own Service Dog, which gave me even more hands-on experience and deepened my love and understanding of dogs. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From gentle senior pups who need a slower pace to week-old puppies still with their mama. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know and care for hundreds of dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently on summer break from college, which means I will have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and quality pet care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member. I tailor my care to each individual pup and always work closely with pet parents to create the safest and most comfortable environment possible, because nobody knows your dog better than you do! I have safety plans and routines in place for different types of care and am always happy to adapt to your pet’s unique needs, personality, and routine. Feel free to message me with any questions about my services or safety measures! I’d love to chat and help you feel confident and comfortable when booking with me!

“Addie is SO kind and caring! She was so flexible in caring for our pup, who had just had surgery and was wearing a cone for the week. She sent us an update when she came by, which gave us peace of mind since it was one of the first times we had left our dog alone for such a long time. I highly recommend Addie!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young including a variety of small, medium, and large dogs that I rescued and also raised since they were puppies. Currently at home I have two Morkies and a Corgi. Both of my Morkies are very energetic, so I have a lot of experience playing with dogs that bounce off the walls. I am affectionate, love all dogs, and am able to accommodate for any special treatments your dog may need! I am an active graduate student studying Physical Therapy who enjoys exercise. I am able to feed, walk, let out, and play with your pups (or cat!). I hope to be able to get to know you and your special pet better! I currently am a student, and I am done with class by 1pm on everyday except for Tuesday. I am able to walk or drop in during the lunch hour, or multiple check ins if you are gone for extended periods of time. P I am always attentive to ensure that dogs are fed properly, have plenty to drink, exercise well, and use the restroom when needed. I will always be respectful of your home if you pick me to walk or do check in visits! I always make sure to let you know how the visit went, and like to send photos.

About: I've been taking care of pets for 20 years, starting as a 10-year-old taking care of neighbor's dogs and cats. I've raised more than a dozen dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescue animals. My partner and I currently have two dogs, Gus and Cricket, as well as a cat, Jabo. I love and care for them dearly, just as I will do for your pet(s)! I work seasonally as a landscaper, so I mostly care for pets during the colder months. I have lots of flexible time to meet your pet care needs as part of a regular or one-off schedule. I am experienced at meeting new pets and can care for your pet as you need. Whether you have a fenced yard or need leashed walks, I'll care for your pet while ensuring they remain safe. As a pet owner, I know how important it is to trust a pet sitter and I'm happy to answer any questions you have about pet care!

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!

About: I have experiences dog sitting in neighbors/others homes, as well as working at a dog daycare facility for almost 2 years. I worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! I am available most weekdays for drop in care and/or walks. Any time in the morning until about 5pm most days. I am flexible and want to care for your pet as you would! I would care for pets within your home with attention to detail. Any instructions you provide would be greatly appreciated, as I want to make your pet(s) as comfortable as possible! Finding a routine that works for both you and your pet is what is important.

“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!!”

“Courtnie is so detailed and so loving to our pup! Fantastic updates throughout the weekend we were gone and we would absolutely hire her again! Thank you Courtnie, Aria is so grateful!”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and they have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was often left alone with my pets and my family relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with them. I have also taken care of friends’ and neighbors’ pets while they were on vacation. Some of these duties included overnight visits, daily check ins, and transport to daycare. I will be leaving the country on June 7th to study abroad and will be returning August 3rd. I am looking to work before then and will be able to pick jobs back up once I get back. My schedule is usually pretty open as I do not work another job during the school year! I’m happy to visit your pups day of if I am available! I live right next to Leif Erickson park so I can easily take your dog for walks in a beautiful, outdoor environment. My house is very dog friendly and open so your pup can move around as needed. I am comfortable kenneling your dog if needed and will spend as much time as possible getting to know them and gaining their trust.
