Dog Walkers in Bluffton, MN

About: I have taken care of or been in a household with animals since I was a little girl. I grew up on a farm, and helped with animals in that area as well. I have been a dog sitter in the past for a family and it went really well! I love to be around animals, and even have two cats of my own and two family dogs. I am willing to provide in home boarding care at your place or mine and can accommodate to whatever makes you feel the most comfortable while you are away! I am currently studying for my boards, and plan to move to FL after the next few months, but within that time I am available any time/day of the week to care for your fur babies! I have the availability to crate your pet(s) if needed. I am currently living at home with my parents, which we have an outdoor and indoor space pets can go without being an issue. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do live out in the country where your dog(s) can run safely or on a leash- to your preference. I am also able to come and care for your pet within your home as well if that makes you (and your pet) feel more comfortable!

About: Animals have always been the center of my world — not just pets, but family, healers, best friends, and some of life’s purest companions. Caring for animals isn’t something I simply do for work; it’s who I am at my core. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently chosen the love, loyalty, and connection of animals above everything else, and I truly believe they deserve to feel safe, adored, and understood every single day. I have hands-on experience working in doggy daycare and pet boarding environments, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. From playful puppies to anxious rescues and senior dogs needing extra patience and comfort, I’ve learned how to create calm, loving environments where animals feel secure and genuinely cared for. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding routines, maintaining safe and clean spaces, and understanding canine body language and behavior. I also have a background in dog training and believe deeply in patient, loving, positive reinforcement-based guidance. I understand that every animal communicates differently, and I take pride in building trust, confidence, and strong connections with the pets I work with. Whether reinforcing routines, practicing good leash manners, or helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, I approach every animal with calm leadership, compassion, and respect. Alongside my pet care experience, I practice Reiki energy healing and naturally bring a calming, grounded energy into the environments I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I’ve found many pets respond beautifully to gentle, peaceful energy — especially those who are anxious, sensitive, elderly, or adjusting to new surroundings. My goal is always to create a space where animals feel emotionally safe, relaxed, and genuinely loved. What sets me apart is the heart I bring into every interaction. I’m deeply attentive, nurturing, intuitive, and naturally protective over the animals in my care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, gentle reassurance, structured care, or simply someone to love them like their own family would, I’m fully committed to providing that. I understand how important trust is when leaving your beloved companion with someone else, and I promise to care for your pets with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own. Nothing makes me happier than seeing tails wag, nervous pets relax, and animals feel truly at home. For me, this isn’t just pet care — it’s a calling rooted in love, compassion, healing, and a genuine zest for life and all living beings. Pet care is naturally woven into every part of my daily life because animals have always been my priority and passion. I currently care for 6 dogs, 8 cats, and 1 goat of my own, so my days are already built around structured feeding schedules, exercise, enrichment, grooming, cleaning, affection, and individualized attention for each animal’s unique personality and needs. My routine revolves around creating calm, loving, enriching environments where animals feel safe and understood. From morning walks and outdoor time to play sessions, training reinforcement, cuddle time, and evening wind-down routines, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Because I live such an animal-centered lifestyle, adding client pets into my routine feels seamless, intentional, and joyful rather than stressful or inconvenient. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, structured, and loving environment that keeps pets comfortable and emotionally secure. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, energy level, temperament, dietary needs, and comfort preferences so they experience as little stress as possible while their owners are away. I believe consistency, patience, and communication are key. I maintain feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication routines if needed, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I also use my background in dog behavior, training, and Reiki energy healing to help animals feel relaxed, confident, and emotionally supported. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member and strive to create an atmosphere where pets feel safe, loved, mentally stimulated, and genuinely cared for.

About: Hello! Since the young age of 6, there has always been a dog in my family! I have attended obedience training with my current dog and have experience administering insulin to cats and pill medications to dogs. I have experience working with dogs with anxiety. My only child is my fur-baby so he gets a lot of attention, walks, and play time. Since I work full-time as a teacher, I have wide availability during the summer and holidays. During the school year, I walk the dog daily as soon as I get home (4:30PM) and during the summer, we walk in the morning before it gets hot. I am accommodating to reasonable requests such as special diets and feeding times/situations. I have a large wire kennel available for crating if that is what your dog is used to. I use child/dog gates to block the front door and prevent escapes but there is a huge fenced in backyard on my double lot for playing fetch, running, and exploring. I rarely have guests over and will schedule around your pet's visit if new people are a concern for you.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 15. I personally have three dogs and three cats. I am a animal lover and would love to help care for your fur babies while you are away!

About: I have had at least one dog to take care of since I was 10 years old, and my extended family has always had numerous additional dogs. I feed, give water to, and entertain multiple dogs, of multiple sizes, on a daily basis. I have been responsible for a variety of breeds, as well as both indoor dogs and outdoor farm dogs. Raising sheep and working on horse/cattle farms throughout my middle and high school years has taught me how to care for all kinds of animals, big and small. I am currently waiting to ship out for Navy boot camp, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days of the week. If overnight care is needed, my roommates are able to look after my dogs, which allows me to stay with pets for extended periods when required. I care for pets based on what they need most. Sometimes that means simply being there to keep them company, letting them out, feeding them, and spending time playing or relaxing with them. Other times it can mean giving a little extra attention and monitoring for pets who need more care.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals since I could remember, from raccoons, rats, horses, and Guinea pigs to your more normal cats and dogs and lizards. I currently have a pup so I do pet care every day all day. She is a part of my family so she is never lacking when it comes to her care and exercise. I currently live in a townhouse and I don’t have a yard so we go for long walks on the edge of town multiple times a day as well as car rides. In my clients home I use the resources they have available (big yard either fenced or not) or we will just go for walks throughout the day. I make the care of the client the priority.

About: I’ve worked with dogs for the past 7 years of my career. Have done dog sitting for the last 4 years. My current job is with animals. Can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I work full time but have one day off a week and have weekends off. Will stay in your house and can take them hiking or for walks.

We often take our cuties to dog parks as well! We would love to meet your fur babies!

About: Grew up around animals of all kinds! Lived ona farm training horses, dogs and yes even chickens. I grew up dog sitting as 1 of my very first official jobs when I was 14. I currently work as my own boss, I am a virtual health coach and social media advisor. So my time is very much my own for the most part. I am capable of taking work on the go so pick ups and drop offs are not a problem to schedule. I walk my own dogs daily, we also like to play an have fun throughout the day. Currently my dogs get walked separately. In the morning's and at night is usually our routine. I can adjust my schedule to the current dogs needs and am very capable of giving meds and any other care they require. I usually prefer any restrictions or notes about the pet in advance if there are special needs.
