Dog Walking Baker

About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I am honest and deeply care for pets of all kinds. I have had rabbits over the years and I have specialty care with elder buns. Whether that be medicine administration, end of life transition resources and assistance with physical limitations, I have you covered! I’m physically active and can handle long runs and hikes with dogs. I currently volunteer at Rocky Mountain House Rabbit Rescue. As of now I’m in between jobs so, I’m available anytime. I am actively looking for work and will update this piece once something comes along. Cross your fingers my friends! Trust is a huge priority for me. I was let down by a sitter years ago and I will not be the cause for pain and stress for any pet parent I have the opportunity to support. Regardless of whom enters my home, they have have their own sleep spot and play space as needed. I have a courtyard that is secured from any road access where your dog can run and play. They will always be fed the correct amount, given ample snuggles and will have a clean space the entire time. If I am arriving at your residence, respect of your space will be paramount. I will make sure that your fuzzy friend is fed, entertained and that their space is clean prior to departure. Any speciality concerns will be addressed and I can comfortable to provide medicine.

“Hannah is such a wonderful dog walker! She is very easy to communicate with and we will be booking her again for while we’re away for a trip this summer!”

“Cheryl always got back to me quickly and even changed dates when my plans changed. She let me know when she arrived and when she finished walking Sunny. She's great!”

“Nikole has been my dog walker consistently now for 4 months. Nikole is reliable, flexible, a great communicator and always on time. I really enjoy the narrated rover cards I get about Harley and Nikole’s time together. I can always picture exactly how their walks went. Harley has joint issues and Nikole is very observant and accommodates their walks based off how he is feeling. I really appreciate Nikole and I will continue to use her as my dog walker! :)”

“Jade has been stopping by to take care of my dog while I work 12-hour shifts, and she's been amazing. She always keeps me updated and sends pictures, which gives me total peace of mind while I'm away. Even though Penny can't talk, it's obvious how much she enjoys her time with Jade-she's always so excited and happy when I get home. I truly appreciate the care and attention Jade gives her!”

“This was our first scheduling with Todd. He took time to do a meet/greet with my large Akita Yuki. Todd was very patient with her. He was not rushing at all, and genuinely took the time to let Yuki warm up to him. My girl Yuki is 120 lbs, I could tell right away Todd was very comfortable with big dogs. For the first walk, Todd updated the Rover card with tons of pictures and information. I love having all the walk updates. I am so pleased to have found Todd. He is an experienced dog handler. As a nurse, I would definely recommend Todd to anyone needing coverage for their pup!”

About: I’ve been watching my neighbors’ animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and love them dearly and I currently have two cats of my own! Animals are my safe space and I love spoiling them! I currently have two cats, so I obviously give them love and take care of them everyday! I am in school, but do it all online so I am very flexible with my schedule and availability for your pets! I’ll always make sure your animal is comfortable with the way I am interacting with them and never push their limits. For cats - if they aren’t keen on humans, I won’t bother them. If they love attention and to play, I’ll be waving a little wand around immediately to get some of their energy out and giving them lots of love. For dogs - I will make sure they are comfortable and walked, and have gone out enough. I can take them to parks and play, or keep them separate from other animals depending on their personality!

“Highly recommend Megan! She replied within minutes to our request for a walk and came by same-day for a meet and greet. Sounds like the walk went smoothly and Charlie felt very comfortable with her. We will book again with her in the future.”

“Ezra did a great job. My lab decided to eat a towel. Ezra worked with me and the vet transporting the animal and supporting on site..using FaceTime with us and the vet to choose a path. He was calm, extremely logical helping diagnose which of the dogs was the problem with great problem solving and flexibility. He went above and beyond. I’m very grateful for his support and highly recommend him!”

“Great!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have always had dogs in my home. Over the years, I’ve dog sat for all ages of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, adapting to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I’ve also cat sat for multiple families and understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. One of my most valuable experiences has been fostering groups of puppies across the years. This taught me how to safely care for multiple dogs, maintain routines, recognize individual needs and changes in behavior, and provide patient, consistent care while helping puppies grow and learn. I love to provide daily updates including photos and videos to pet parents to provide consistent, excellent communication, and share all the fun adventures they experience. :) I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own! También hablo español y con gusto puedo comunicarme con familias que prefieran hablar en español. :) I’m currently a psychology student in college and work with children as an RBT during the week, so caring for others has always been an essential part of my life. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find very rewarding. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate focused time on walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention. I also love to run and hike, and would love to take your dog with me! I understand how essential routines are, and I do my best to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and make sure pets are supervised and secure both indoors and outdoors. In your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would my own while maintaining your pet’s daily routine. I’ll always provide consistent communication, and updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Thank you!!! Tiffani did a great job walking Harley, our high energy golden. I was so happy to see pictures of her before, during & after the walk and was able to read an entire synopsis of the session. It made me feel happy and relaxed my pup was in good hands with Tiffani!”

About: I’ve had a love of animals since for as long as I can remember. Since moving I miss having my cats and dog around me. I have watched friends and families pets in the past and it has been a blast! I like to spoil the animals as much as I can, since I don’t have one of my own. When sitting animals, I like to be home as much as I can to spend time with the animals. Walks and going to parks are also something I like to do, with owners permission of course. While watching your beloved pet I can ensure that they will receive the exact treatment that you would not only accept but appreciate. I can guarantee at the end of our time together that your family friend will have thoroughly been cared after and enjoyed their time.

“Jessica has been awesome for our dog!! Our dog is extremely anxious and shy and Jessica has taken the time to let him warm up to her and make him feel completely comfortable! She has been reliable and consistent and has really helped us out!”

“Kirsten helped me out so much when I needed a last minute dog walker! She was very quick to respond and made sure that Ollie had water after his walks and when he tore apart a toilet paper roll she cleaned it up so he didn’t get in to anymore trouble. Definitely would use her again.”

About: I am only available work 11 am to 5 pm. I worked in a shelter and helped out a little with the dogs and have had pets my whole life. I get along very well with animals, including very shy animals. I'm a freelance artist with a very free schedule and I can drop in anytime that you may need me to be there. I understand the regularity of a pet's schedule is very important! I can crate a pet if needed and am very careful with an animal's boundaries to insure safety and comfort for your pet and myself.

About: We recently moved and are now in the Washington Park area. Still have a fenced yard and a playful dog! Please reach out to schedule a meet and greet if you are interested. Thank you! My girlfriend and I are both experienced dog owners and love dogs! We both work from home and have pretty flexible schedules. We have a 4 year old spayed female Cattle Dog mix that is high energy, friendly, and loves other people and dogs. We trained our dog through Paw School, so we have most of the commands and positive reinforcement down. We have previously had other high energy dogs (Goldens, Jack Russells, etc) and understand the energy that dogs need to expend. We are active and can take dogs on long walks, hikes, and dog park visits. We have a big fenced backyard for day care. For drop-ins and walks, we would like to stay close to home. Boarding will be considered on a case-by-case basis after the dogs meet. Both work from home and have relatively flexible schedules. I work an East Coast day, so I start and end early. Afternoons are mostly open. Our house has a fenced yard and dog door. In your house, I will pretty much just pick up your dog and walk or play outside.

About: I am now living in Minneapolis and love my time here. I have had dogs for most of my life. I love having them around to play with. I have been a house and pet sitter for about four years and have a couple of regular people. I am looking to expand what I am doing to include dog walking. I work in the emergency management field and know how to work with animals in stressful situations for those that think their pets may be difficult. When I lived in Colorado, I took care of two dogs for an owner who believed one of her dogs was challenging and took time for him to get used to new people (and that was if he liked them in the first place). He and I got along from my first visit. During the first visit, she was surprised that he came and sat next to me after about 15 minutes. I work Monday to Friday from 8 AM - 4:30 PM. I make sure your pets go out before I leave for work and they are my priority once my work day has ended. I am happy to stay at your place if wanted. This can make things easier and less stressful for your pet. I am willing to work with you if there is some other situation you are looking for.
