Dog Walking Central

“Emilie was great with our dog Linus! She was very responsive and lovely with our old dog. I appreciated her quick and thorough responses and care when walking Linus.”

“Karina was wonderful when I needed help last minute while sick - my dog, Ollie, absolutely loves her and would rush out the door to greet her. Super reliable and easy to work with too. Highly recommend!”

“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”

“Marit clearly is a dog person! My dogs were so happy and I really appreciated her communication and feedback. Will definitely reach out to Marit again!”

About: I have done pet-sitting and house-sitting since I was 12 for many neighbors with multiple pets, and also have my own dog. This experience includes following feeding instructions and specific medical routines for both dogs and cats, walking dogs, taking care of senior dogs, and general housekeeping such as fish feeding and plant watering. I love to run, and can run with dogs. I can also brush and wash your pet. I have three years of experience working on a small farm, taking care of cats, kittens, and rabbits. This includes feeding, watering, making bottles for baby animals, administering medicine, and cleaning out pens, enclosures, and litter boxes. I am currently available any day of the week or weekend from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I can also do overnight house-sitting or later stays as needed. I will take extra precautions to ensure your pet's safety during my care. This includes checking all pets are accounted for when entering and exiting the house, staying aware of any other animals present, avoiding any dangerous roads or crossings, closely following any medical care specified, and treating all pets gently.

About: I absolutely love cats of all kinds. My passion for felines comes from personal experience caring for my own cat and family and friends cats. 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 last year. 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 cat 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 cat'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.

“Thank you Sara! We appreciate your help!”

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”

Josh P.

“Bailey was so wonderful to work with. She helped us out in a jam, covering walks for our dog when our dog walker was out of town for an extended period. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. She was very patient with our dog who is definitely a handful.”

Anne A.

“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!”

Liliana K.

“Thank you Amy for a great first visit with Sage! The details you shared about how the visit went, as well as the multiple photos, were much appreciated :)”

Ellen C.

“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”

Jen J.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Henley is a very perceptive and sensitive dog who knows when he’s in the company of a real animal lover. Avita fits that bill perfectly. From the very start, he was happy and relaxed with her.🐶🐾💕 I highly recommend Avita!”

Ann H.

“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!”

Geordan B.

“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 grew up with dogs and have cared for my own pets throughout my life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I work from home, so I’m able to give the dogs in my care plenty of attention, walks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and will always follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I’ll treat them like they’re part of the family and keep you updated while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the day for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention and companionship. Since I’m home most of the day, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m also happy to follow their normal daily routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I provide a clean, comfortable, and relaxed home where your dog can feel safe and at home. I grew up with dogs, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care your dog requires. I’ll also provide regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention.

“Alex was great! I introduced him to both of my dogs, and I think they senses his calm, chill vibe and were into it. I am planning to reach back out to him in the coming weeks for walking and house sitting.”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, doves, horses, chickens, bunnies, ducks, and many other animals! I have a range of experience caring for these pets and making sure they know that they are a part of the family. As an adult, I have attended puppy training classes with my dog, and have volunteered at the humane society. I’m working part time right now, so my schedule has many openings! I am mostly available before 4pm on any day. I am an early riser, so I can do early mornings no problem! I have a lot of experience safely walking dogs in a city setting, and I know just how crafty animals can be when it comes to getting into things they shouldn’t. I will make sure your pet stays safe!

“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”
