Dog Walking Central

“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.

“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: Growing up in Colorado, I am no stranger to all types of wildlife and a variety of pets. I have spent many summers on a farm and believe it or not cows are like overgrown lovable doggies. 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'm easy to get along with and 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 taken care of cats my whole life, from kittens to seniors, and since I was 12 I’ve watched my friends and neighbors dogs as well. I’ve given both cats and dogs medication as well as bottle fed them if they were too young for solid food. I have an incredibly flexible hybrid work schedule! Whatever you or your pets needs, I will be able to meet them without any work conflicts. You know your pet better than anyone. Whatever instructions you give me to keep them safe, happy, and healthy, I promise to follow exactly. I love animals and my schedule is very flexible, so whenever your needs are, I will do my absolute best to meet them!

“Sally is professional, down to earth and focused on the animals! A great first experience and I hope to work with her long term!”

“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”

“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.”

About: **I do not offer boarding services for dogs** I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and am a huge animal lover. I have been a service dog handler for 6 years. My service dog is Brutus, he is a 7 year old german shepherd. I have had him his entire life, I started training him when he was 4 months old. We started specialized service training when he was 1 years old. We worked with trainers together for 3 years and I have handler trained him for 2 years. I have helped my friends and family train their dogs for 3 years. My dog does amazing with cats and dogs! I have owned and cared for many cats throughout my life. I am very adaptable and can accept short notice bookings. Cats and dogs are allowed access to the entire apartment. I ask owners bring litter and food but am able to provide it if you are unable. I have worked with young kittens/puppies, seniors, special needs cats, high energy cats and dogs, and cats with all sorts of personalities. I live in an apartment and will take your dog out multiple times a day. I am home all day, your little buddy won’t be alone at any time. I am able to accept same day bookings and same day cancellations. Due to my living arrangements I can not accept dogs that struggle with excess barking. I do not work due to disability and have open availability ***I ONLY OFFER CAT BOARDING*** I can board up to 4 cats in my home for as long as needed. My dog is good with cats and has lived with them most of his life. I will update you daily with photos/videos. I provide toys, scratching posts, and will shower your kitty with attention. I ask you bring food and litter. My dog does great with cats and is friendly with them. He respects their boundaries and leaves them alone. He’s the same way with other dogs. I will follow feeding and care schedules. During daycare services with your dog I will ensure they get outside multiple times a day, and are safe and taken care of. I live near a large dog park and several walking trails. I will follow your cats care routine and schedule. I am home most of the day and can provide around the clock care and attention. I have toys, scratching boards, and a supply of litter/food for cats. I do not currently own a cat but have owned many throughout my life.

“Jenna goes above and beyond to care for her client and their pet. Very attentive, accommodating, and respectful of changes and dedicated to making everyone happy. I have great respect for her and she always does a great job and is very transparent. Love having her support and attention to detail especially with my puppy. Means a lot! Can’t recommend a better dog walker/sitter!!”

Kaylee R.

“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!”

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.

“Our pup loves Samantha! She is very communicative, flexible, and dependable. We highly recommend her!”

Nancy N.

About: Hi there! I've been an animal lover my whole life and have 20+ years experience caring for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. From walks and play time at the park to chill hangs and snuggles on the couch, I'd be thrilled to spend time with your furry family member. I’ve just moved back home to Minneapolis after a gap year spent in Melbourne, Australia. While I search for a full time job, my schedule is flexible and available to care for your pets. I’m respectful of your home and your rules— whatever they may be— and am available for both drop-in visits or overnight stays to care for your animals.

“Breen was very helpful with me as I began the process of using Rover. Most importantly, Duke has been well cared for and happy with each visit.”

“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”

“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.”

Sophia L.

“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”
