Dog Walkers in Center City, MN

“It was a joy to meet and get to know Amber this summer. My Great Pyrenees fell head-over-heels in love with her! She was responsible, timely and flexible with reschedules. What I appreciated most of all was her willingness to take Hungry Dave to spend time in the lake with her family! He was always thrilled when she picked him up for a date. In Amber you’ll find a confident, empathetic young woman, who will provide a safe, loving experience for you and your pet.”

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was 8. I saved my babysitting and birthday money to purchase my Pomeranian at the age of 12. I potty trained her and taught her how to sit, lie down, shake, and rollover on my own. I had her for 17 wonderful years and miss her everyday… Besides my Pomeranian, I have house/pet sat for multiple friends and family members. I currently have a 6 year old pomsky (half husky, half Pomeranian). She is a energetic dog who loves walks, playing fetch, and any squeaky toy. My dogs are my life and I would do anything for them. They are very spoiled! I love dogs so much and would own a house full of them if my husband would let me. I’m currently a full time worker. I’m a certified surgical technologist that works in the operating room at a hospital. I work mostly mornings and 4 days a week. I live 10 minutes from my job and I am gone 8 hours a day when I work. Other than my job, I am always at home. I’m a homebody and stay home most weekends as well. I have a completely fenced in backyard. I let my dog outside every 2 hours when I’m home from work for potty breaks. My dog is fed twice a day (morning & night). When I am at work my dog stays in her kennel. I also have a Furbo (dog camera which I can see, talk, and give treats to my dog while I’m on breaks at work) set up in my basement. My dog, as well as yours if allowed, is allowed on my furniture and to even sleep in my bed at night.

About: I’ve grown up with pets all 22 years of my life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, where I took specialized courses in dog training and behavior, as well as animal nutrition. On top of that, I gained hands-on experience working as a kennel technician at a local veterinary clinic, caring for pets of all ages—including seniors and those with special medical needs. In my free time, I love walking and spending time with my own dogs, so I truly understand how important daily exercise, consistency, and loving companionship are for a happy, healthy pet. Whether your furry friend needs basic care, training support, or just someone to give them attention and love while you're away, I'm here to help! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and am currently exploring job opportunities in the animal care field. This means I have a very open and flexible schedule right now, and I’m available for pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the consistent care they need! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I take dogs out on leashes for all potty breaks and walks to ensure they stay safe and secure at all times. My own dog is crate trained, so I’m familiar with using crates as a safe space when needed. I also take time to slowly introduce pets to new environments or routines to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment.

About: I have always had pets as a part of my life, dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and I raised rabbits for 4H for a number of years. I also pet sit for family and friends when they need help. I have a local park with trials for walking as well as a nice sidewalk for walking. There is also a local dog park about 5mins from my house I can bring your dog to. I work super part time and my husband works from home. So someone is always home to keep an eye on your pet and love them. I have 3 kids that I may run to and from school or local things from time to time. I have an underground fenced yard that I can use if you'd like to use. I'm happy to limit the area your dog has access to or allow them to roam the house. I'm comfortable with both. If care is being done at your home I like to know of any areas you've had issues on durning walls (with other pets or people).

About: Enjoyed many years with our own dogs and cats, as well as checking in with, walking and taking care of those of family and friends. Currently working part time, with plenty of time to care for your pets! See schedule for days that are consistently available, may have more flexibility as needed. Currently have three cats at home, with a fenced yard and plenty of areas inside where pets have their own space based on their comfort.

About: dog are not pets they’re family, and I will treat them with the same love and respect you would a child. I have some dog training from my time working with an animal rescue. I have two cats, an out black domestic short hair who does come inside on occasion and a bambino Sphinx. Yes you can come see the Sphinx. I will take great care of your fur baby if it be walking, playing, them sleeping over, and grooming. I’ll even make them treats for their birthday, and get them a gift. Over night stays will require a meet with my cats and younger child to assure their will be no issues. Give me a call and rest assured they will be happy dogs!

About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched family members, friends, Rover friend's and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! Additionally, I have stopped into cat owner's homes to check in on them, clean the litter box, feed/water them, and spend time with them! I currently work from home as a Master’s level Social Worker and have very flexible hours. My children are very comfortable and respectful to animals. My children are at school during the day and will be home during the summer months. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands, etc. *Please reach out in a message regarding availability! My availability changes and I would like to give you the most up to date information! Thank you!* I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have them graze eat or kennel as requested.

About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life and get a deep sense of joy when I am able to care for them! I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 15 years which has provided me experience with all kinds of animals with all types of personalities. I have an animal medical background which helps me provide safe and sound handling techniques and animal care skills. I have owned an array of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits, rats, and mice. I also have cared for other farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep. I have fostered puppies through Ruff Start Rescue for 7 years which has given me extensive experience with potty training and leash training. I work at a school which gives me summers and weekends available for animal care. I am often available in the evenings year-round also. I have a quiet neighborhood and a large yard. My dog is young, playful, and very friendly. I am familiar and comfortable with crate training and dog-safe practices within the home. I am aware of pet toxicity and safety concerns with pets.

“So responsive and helpful!!! Gave me huge peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands.”

About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, from large farm animals like cows and horses to household pets including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My background includes working with both family pets and farm animals, giving me experience with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. In addition to my professional and educational experience, I also raise and care for my own animals, including rabbits, poultry, dogs, and cats. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Histotechnology, along with a dual major in Canine Management and Training. My education has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, handling, and proper care techniques. In addition to my schooling, I was involved in 4-H for 10 years and FFA for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in animal husbandry, responsibility, and daily animal care. I have also worked as a kennel assistant in a veterinary hospital and as a stable hand at a horse rescue ranch, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring animal health, and providing compassionate care. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my combination of real-world animal experience, formal education, and genuine passion for animal care. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I strive to provide safe, patient, and reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. I am currently a college student home for the summer, looking to stay busy. I work as a softball coach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as weekends. While I am not coaching, I am looking to spend my time with animals. Pets in my care are treated like family, and their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. At my home, we have 20 wooded acres with plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy supervised leash walks or long-line walks, depending on their needs and the owner’s preference. I always make sure pets are safely handled and closely supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to make sure each pet gets the care they are used to. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

“Paige is AMAZING. She shows up on time, sends great pics of what your pet is doing, and updates accurately about the walk. She is great with my pup and my puppy is so happy when I get home. Paige will continue to be our main dog walker!”

About: When I was little I used to tell people I lived in a Zoo and though it often felt that way with 4 dogs, 2 cats, a bird and rabbits it was not a reality (maybe one day ;) .) I have been caring for animals since I could hold a leash from walking and feeding dogs to trimming cat nails. In the past 5 years I have raised and trained my own high energy Vizsla as well as cared for a few litters of Bernese Mountain Dogs. I deeply believe the relationship a human has with their furry friend is unique and irreplaceable and my goal as a dog caretaker is to protect those relationships. Not only do I keep your furry babies happy and healthy, but I also strive to create peace of mind for you. I just moved to Minnesota and am diving into the vibrance of life here. With that, I am very flexible on timing. Morning-Day-Night and Weekends are all great for me. I completely understand that each dog owner has preferences and ways they want their babies to be cared for. With that, as I enter someone else's space I do so with a mindset of respect for the guidelines and rules they have laid out. I will care for you dog to the best of my abilities while keeping your wishes at the forefront.
