Dog Walking Carnelian Junction

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I've taken them through multiple levels of training including therapy dog training. I am a Registered Nurse working part time and I'd love to spend my extra time taking care of your much-loved pet! I currently work part time, which leaves me available for dog walks or drop-ins in the afternoon, boarding is available during the week, though I will be out of the house Mon-Fri 9:00 am-1:30 pm I have a large yard with no fence. We have a walking trail available at the end of our driveway where I can walk your dog when they stay at my house. I have one 2+yr old Labrador and one 8 yr-old boy. My dog is dog/cat friendly.

“Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!”

“Fiona’s first outing with Valerie went really well. Fiona got good exercise and Valerie worked with her on manners and over reactivity. Valerie gave us good feed back and videos. We will continue with Valeria and look forward to Fiona’s progress.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Victoria was great and super accommodating to my last minute needs! She took great care of my puppy and i will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and know how to care for them, love going on walks and being with animals! Art student who just graduated looking to get some extra cash. Currently unemployed after just graduating art school, completely available anytime to care for pets or dog walk. Currently living at home in Saint Paul Minnesota. I don’t have an apartment where I can host pets but I can travel wherever you need me to go and follow whatever instructions I’m given to safely care for anyone’s pet.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 5 years, including boarding family and friends’ dogs for stays of up to a week. For the past 3 years, I’ve also regularly walked dogs for family and friends, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix, which gave me experience caring for large dogs from a young age. I’m reliable, active, and attentive to routines, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, or making sure dogs are comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve always genuinely loved being around dogs and enjoy getting to spend time with them. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can easily work around pets’ usual routines and needs. Since I’m active and enjoy being outside, dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. In my home, pets would have a safe, clean environment with lots of space. I have a large backyard for outdoor time and exercise, and I also have a very friendly Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix who is well socialized with other dogs. Since the yard is not fenced, I would always supervise outdoor time and keep dogs safely on a leash when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and work to keep pets comfortable in their usual environment and routine.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Our family animals (dog, cats, goats, Guinea pigs, birds, lizards, and a pony) fostered my lifelong love of animals. As a dog sitter, I have experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I have worked at a cruelty-free animal shelter, where I walked dogs, provided playtime, and helped take care of their living spaces. I have experience dog sitting in my home and understand the importance of helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When your dog is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am happy to take your dog on walks as often as needed and look forward to having a companion to play and cuddle with. On days I am not at school, I am at home, which allows me to give your dog my full attention throughout the day. I genuinely care about making every dog feel happy, comfortable, and secure, and I will treat yours as if they were my own! I am currently a doctoral student studying Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and my schedule allows me to provide pet care throughout the week. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I am on campus for part of the day, and Thursday through Monday I study from home, which gives me the availability to provide your pets with plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day. I live in a house with my parents. The upstairs level is my dedicated living space, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and a living room area. Your pet will spend their time in this space with me! My parents have a cat that lives downstairs. They will not be living in the same space. We live on 4 acres, providing ample outdoor space for play, exploration, and exercise. We are located on rural road, which is great for long walks. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, so caring for them is second nature to me! From bouncy puppies who need patience and consistency to sweet senior pups who enjoy a slower pace, I love them all. I’m happy to help with basic training, stick to routines, and make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and tail wags while you’re away I’m in school, but I make plenty of time for pets! I can fit walks, playtime, and care into my daily and weekly schedule, so every pet gets attention, love, and fun while I balance school. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfy wherever they are! In your home, I follow your instructions and make sure they have food, water, and lots of love. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, cuddles, and fun so every pet feels safe and cared for

I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

“Denise is the best!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own pets, ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I’ve looked after my grandma's cat multiple times and other puppies and kitties for friends. I stand out from other sitters because of my deep passion for animals and my hands-on experience. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs. I love to give extensive play-times when possible, and lots of pets! Whether it’s administering medication for senior pets or providing a nurturing environment for lonely kitties, I’m committed to giving your furry friends the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as well as attending university, so my schedule may be busy, but I am more than willing to work around it to accommodate for proper pet care. My Sundays are always open and Fridays are usually open as well. Let's work something out! I live in a safe, well-secured apartment complex beside a golf course, so plenty of room to give walks if needed. I also have two kitties with separate rooms, based on if your furry friend needs company or just some alone time! I am committed to ensuring that every pet is happy and healthy and feels safe in its environment.

About: I’ve had dogs and other animals for my entire life. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 7 years and completed a B.S. in animal science as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppy training to senior dog care. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, along with caring for pets with special needs. I do work full time Monday-Friday in the Stillwater, MN area, but I have flexible lunch time breaks to accommodate mid day walks or potty breaks! 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:)
