Dog Walkers in Carnelian Junction, MN

“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

“Carissa is great! So kind to Riley and communicates well!”

“Michael made sure to check in with us with pictures and let us know how each walk went. He was super sweet with our big pup. We have a pitbull who has a tendency to pull on the leash sometimes and if he can handle that he can probably handle your dog great as well! I could tell he really cared. I'd trust him to help us again if needed in the future!”

About: I love playing with my own dogs and our neighbors'. One comes over for playdates all the time. I am gentle and soft-spoken, and dogs always love me. If you let me, I might even teach yours a new trick or two! I am between being a high school senior and college freshman. I look forward to spending time doing what I love best - being around animals. I am very clean and careful. I will follow any instructions you give to the letter. My mom (dog and cat owner for at least 10 years) is my backup if an emergency should ever come up.

“Traci is fantastic- very professional, thorough and loves animals- highly recommend!”

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I work about 12 hours a week spread over two days at a museum and attend graduate school online. This makes me very flexible to meet your pets needs! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away! If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, when I was 12 I even tried to get a job at a vets office! Now that I'm old enough, I do have a part-time job as a customer service representative at a vets office as I complete my Animal Science degree on the pre-veterinary track. I have experience assisting people with basic care of their animals and through this job also know how to react calmly and quickly in emergency situations. I have spent years helping friends and family care for their dogs and am looking to help others now as well! I do triathlons as well, so am well prepared to help anyone with their high energy dogs that need long walks! I am currently a college student home for summer break and am looking for a way to fill my day while doing the things I love: being active and spending time with animals! My schedule right now is very flexible which allows me to easily work with those who have busy days and need help! I care for all pets by always going at their pace, creating a calm and comfortable environment where they feel safe and relaxed. This is something that is very important where I work and I carry this into all my interactions with animals. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to try to understand how they're feeling and what they need. I focus on building trust, maintaining routines that they have set. My main priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

“Ella was great with our dog! She connected with him right away and took him for long walks. He would live to walk with her again.”

About: Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards - if it has four legs and and is smaller than a pony, I've owned it or taken care of it for others. I've raised puppies, rehabilitated rescues, and gently cared for the seniors who need a different kind of love and support. I'm your number one choice for a responsible, attentive pet sitter who will give your critter what you need me to. Walks, medication, play time, cuddles, feeding - I'm all in! I'm a recent empty-nester and freelance grant writer, so I have lots of flexibility for visits 7 days a week. Morning, afternoon, evening - we can make it work! I adhere to whatever requests and rules you may have as a client, and take scrupulous care of your home and property. You will have complete peace of mind knowing your pet and your home are in the best possible hands.

“Ali has walked Suki multiple times and has been outstanding. She is very responsive to requests and great with follow-ups and keeping us informed about what is going on. We are so glad we found Ali and look forward to working with her more!”

About: I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to laid-back cats and curious kittens. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I make sure your pets stay comfortable and happy in their routine. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just company, I’ve got it covered! 🐾 Currently a student a St. Thomas but am usually free Friday through Sunday for sitting and week days for walks! I will become free everyday of the week in the summer. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I keep things low stress for them and always clean up after myself.

About: I’ve worked at multiple doggy day cares near Forest Lake MN and I have 2 dogs of my own! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I’m a college student who needs to make more money than what I’m currently making and I’m pretty available Monday through Friday depending on the times! My dogs are walked everyday and played with all the time! I understand the time it takes to care for a dog or cat and so I’m very patient with them.

About: I love dogs no matter the size or personality! I have walked dogs of all different breeds, I am currently fostering a dog in college trying to find him a forever home! If your dog needs to go for more of a run then walk that is no problem I love going on runs with them. If you choose me to walk your dog they will get the energy out and be ready and cuddly for when you get home! This summer I will be available on Thursdays and Fridays for what ever your pet needs, whether its drop in visits or a good walk to stretch their legs or get some energy. I also have a cat that I love dearly and would be more than happy to stop in and take care of what ever your cat needs. I have a good sized yard that isn't completely fenced in but a stake in the ground would do the trick. There aren't that many other dogs in my neighborhood which would be a perk if your pet didn't care for other animals.

About: I’ve had dogs and other animals for my entire life. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for the last 4 years and I’m majoring in animal science as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppy training to senior dog care. I’m currently working part time so I’m very flexible with finding time for your pups. I am available any day of the week at varying times. I offer daily check ins, walks, and house sitting for your furry friends. I like them to be as comfortable as possible in their own environment:)

“Norma was excellent! She was prompt, loving, and responsive! The dogs enjoyed meeting her - She is sweet and kind to the pups!”

About: Experienced former pet owner with extra love to give! I cared for my own dog in NYC (biiig goldendoodle) until she passed suddenly. I love giving love to dogs. I can assure you your pup(s) will be happy and healthy while they are with me. Expect frequent photo / video updates of your baby doing cute stuff (that you don't have to respond to). I am flexible in my approach for tending to animals based on owners' preferences (more frequent walks, picky eaters, picky p*opers, older & less mobile, can't be around other dogs)-- I've handled it all! Please let me know any special needs your pet may have ahead of time so that I can provide the best service suited to them. This may include dietary restrictions, walk intensity & frequency, personality traits, potential separation anxiety, picky eating / bathroom tendencies, and how they get along with other pets. My building is pet-friendly and having pets is encouraged. Included in my building is a pet relief area and a dog grooming room with professional grade grooming equipment. I work from home everyday, so I have ample time & love to give to your pup. I live in a building that has a designated pet relief area & pet grooming equipment. I have quiet streets near me with lots of shade that dogs love sniffing and walking around. Fort Greene Park (and Cadman) is close to me as well for some extra physical exercise. I have an apartment with flexibility to crate. I do not own any dogs myself, so your pup would be the only one I am caring for at a time. I give lots of love and pets. I am happy to adapt to any routine that has already been established for consistency purposes.

About: We have a husky, a jindo and a chow mix. All of them rescues. Some of them had some big issues when we first got them. But I think the key to working with a dog is to be gentle and patient. I work in IT and am mostly work from home. So if I’m pet sitting, I can arrange to be around the entire day, and am able to let a dog into our fenced yard any time they want to go out I’ll be thorough in understanding your pets usual routine and any needs they may have while you’re away. Learning your and their preferences and needs will help them settle into our time together and put your mind at ease that they have everything they need while you’re away.

About: I have always had and adored dogs my whole life. I also have training experience from working with others dogs as well as my own. My latest training experience consisted of teaching my dog to come inside using a paw doorbell and going outside using the bell ringing system. Works every time! My husband and I work from home so we are always here and available to care for your pets. My two boys adore dogs as well and will help out, feed and love your dog. I have two dogs (chihuahua/terrier mix who is 12 and a 3 year old English Spaniel/husky mix) who are able to roam our 1,600 square foot house with a privacy fenced in yard. Water is always available in the kitchen. I will walk, talk and play with your dog to keep him/ her company.
