Dog Walking Calhoun

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. I currently specialize in pets with special needs: 🦴 Seniors 🦴 Deaf/blind 🦴 Rescues/Trauma informed care 🦴 Medication administration Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority. I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.

About: I absolutely love cats and dogs of all kinds. My passion for felines and pups comes from personal experience caring for my own pets and family and friends pets. I adopted my beloved kitty, Bella, when she was just a tiny kitten, and I lovingly cared for her for 17 years until her passing at the end of 2025. I miss her and the unique connection I share with cats, which is why I became a sitter—to bring that same level of care to other pet families. Through caring for Bella into her senior years, I became highly experienced in senior cat care. I understand that older kitties require a gentler touch, a calm environment, and extra patience. I am fully comfortable and experienced with administering oral and transdermal medications, ensuring your pet maintains their health routine seamlessly while you are away. I recently entered early retirement. This means I have a very flexible schedule, and can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. I will provide them with plenty of dedicated attention, playtime, and love! I have a lot of flexibility and plenty of open time throughout the day. I can easily adapt my daily routine around your pet’s specific feeding times, medication windows, and need for company. During my visits, I focus on attentive care, safety, and just spending time together. I treat your home with total respect. I strictly follow instructions for feeding and prompt medication delivery. I spend the rest of the visit providing companionship, keeping the litter box clean, the water bowl refreshed, and giving gentle head scratches.

“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”

“Vida seemed very happy and at least slightly tired (not an easy feat for an 8 month old vizsla!) when I got home. It looked like she had a good time with Laura, and I was happy that I was kept in the loop! We'll definitely be repeat customers.”

Katie K.

“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”

About: I have vast experience with sick and abused animals and with an open heart and gentle touch I'm able to build trust and confidence in almost any pet. I'm physically active but also enjoy a nice snuggle on the couch. So if you have an athlete, couch potato or anything in between, I'm your man. I am professional and easy to get along with. I also have wonderful communication skills. I volunteer for several soup kitchens and food pantries. My life is to be of service to all living creatures through patienceand kindness. Call me with questions or concerns anytime. I look forward to bringing joy and safety to your home. Taking care of pets is a passion of mine. I love all life forms. I have a wonderful little girl that loves guests to play with. It's an everyday thing for us. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. We take long walks and trips to the park often. Snuggles on the couch are typical in this house. Meal time is the same time everyday and when we have guests we always separate the kids during meal time. Just to be safe.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I went to horse camp and farm camp avidly every summer. I have taken care of cats essentially my whole life. Hi I am Jordan! I am a queer, artist and creative located here in the twin cities! I’m currently freelancing part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am open from Wednesday-Sunday, but if you need me to cat sit I am open to discussing. I currently do not have any pets living with me. I have a spacious one bedroom apartment. I work from home so I always have time to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I live right next to Lake Bde Maka Ska and would love to take your dog for a walk around the lake!

“Always takes the best care of my dog!! Great communication and accommodating my dogs needs. It makes my day when I get to see all the fun routes they take and the cute and funny pictures of my dog😂 thank you Sydney!!!”

“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”

“Lauren was great and our dogs loved her! We would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting. I've provided pet/house care for families who have taken extended vacations (2-5 weeks). Love to be active and play with animals! I'm responsible and consistent and willing to help with extra tasks in your home (plant care, light cleaning, taking out trash, etc.). While I can't have your pet in my home, I am able and willing to stay overnight, drop-in for extended visits/walks, and/or do what your pet needs to be comfortable. I have years of experience nannying in people’s homes and I’m currently working as a speech therapist in school and hospital settings. I hope you’ll give me a chance to take care of your pet(s)! I work 3 days per week, from around 7:30-3pm. I work one weekend per month from 8-4pm. I’m able to stop by before work, after work, weekends, and of course stay over if that works best! I always try to incorporate exercise and/play into the pet’s day if possible. I try to make sure animals feel safe and cared for, giving space if they need.

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”

About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were less than a year old. I have been a dog owner for years and being around dogs has always been a part of my life. I moved to Minnesota for personal reasons and unfortunately had to leave my two kiddos in New York. I am looking to meet some of the local dogs in the area. I'm sure your furbaby will be a cutie! I'm a full time employee, but have remote days available and weekends off. I also get most federal holidays off. I can easily do long weekends or certain hours on a remote day. I can be attentive to a pet's needs while engaging in other tasks. I managed to potty train my puppy while attending law school. I also have a lot of experience with a senior dog and a high energy dog.

“Alana went above and beyond to take care of my dog RITA! Her communication was awesome and she updated me all day! She even reached out after her stay, just to check in! I feel like I have found thee BEST dog sitter in the cities!”

“Mari is excellent. She is sweet with our dog, very prompt with messages, and our dog was noticeably calmer after walking with Mari.”

About: When I was a child I had a Golden Retriever named Maddie. She was a valued member of the family, my siblings and I would walk her everyday and bring her to the dog park on weekends. As I got older I got my own dog, half great dane named Walker from the humane society. He came to me with one eye and traumatized at only 11 months. From then on I socialized him with other dogs, taught him commands, and cuddled him everyday. He since has passed away. I have worked with children in the past and adults of all ages. My strong experience in customer service and good people skills that transfer well to communicating with clients. My key strengths that would help support success in this position include: patience, understanding, reliability and hardwork. I am social worker by day. I work 8-4, Monday -Friday at my full time job. During the weekends I am free. I currently live with my partner I have had a lot of my own dogs. I have trained my own dog who was a rescue. He only has one eye, so I am used to making accommodations for for him. I have a yard with a fence.

“Brian has been taking our Goldendoodle Fitzy for hour long walks the past four days while I’m out of town and while my partner is working long hours. He’s such an upbeat, polite, nice person - we are so lucky to have found Brian!! It honestly makes me feel so much better knowing he will take good care of Fitzy and the photos make my day when I’m so far away from my pup! We are lucky to have Brian walk Fitzy for two weeks while I’m gone but it’s also great to know a dependable caretaker for future travels. Thank you Brian!!”

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

About: As a proud parent to a friendly, social 5 month old Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy, I understand what keeps dogs truly happy. I focus on complete engagement—combining active toy play with fun mental puzzles to tire out both their body and brain. You'll always get clear check-ins and high-quality photo updates so you can see your pup thriving! Since I work with a flexible daily schedule, pet care is built directly into my late-morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Having a high-energy puppy of my own means active walks, playtime, and structured care are already natural parts of my everyday life. Whether it's mid-day drop-ins, afternoon walks, or evening play sessions, I seamlessly integrate client visits into my day so every pet gets dedicated, uninterrupted focus. Your pup is treated like family in the comfort of their own home! I provide a safe, cozy, and familiar environment where they can relax on the couch, play with interactive toys, and enjoy fun mental puzzles. With clear routines, plenty of supervised play, and attentive care, your pet gets all the love and structure they need while you're away.
