Dog Walking in Columbia Heights

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a little girl! About two years ago I started a business out of it watching friends and family’s dogs and loved it so much I made it my career! I work with dogs full time now and absolutely love it! I’m looking to spread my love for dogs in anyway I can! I know how to handle all breeds and sizes of dogs, as I’ve worked with close to all of them! And I even have extra experience with dog grooming at well! My full time job is working with dogs so I spend about 40 hours a week with them and i absolutely love it! I would say pet care is definitely a big part of my routine! I offer both pet care in my home and my clients home! I have a friendly dog of my own at home which could keep your pup great company, if your dog isn’t comfortable with new friends we have multiple levels and can accommodate that no problem! I have crates or beds owners choice as well as lots of toys and a big yard to play in! If pet parents are looking for an at home stay I’m more than comfortable with that as well! I do great following instructions as well as keeping your pup company at home!

“Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!”

“Anaiah has been an incredible dog walker for our two dogs. She's extremely reliable, visiting them twice a day, two times a week. We’ve heard from our apartment building staff that she is highly professional and a joy to have around. My partner and I have found her to be a very friendly and kind person who takes a sincere interest in our puppy's training. Her dedication is clear in how she ensures our dogs get the perfect mix of playtime, potty breaks, and walks. She truly goes above and beyond for our pets, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.”

About: I have 23 years of pet ownership experience (cats, reptiles, and a simple fish tank). I also have a bit of volunteer experience training service dogs and have taken care of friends' pets while they're away. I work my other job from home and determine my own hours, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I have a weekday evening commitment a couple times a week, but I can easily work around that two hour block of time. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of yours as if they're my own. Let's discuss medical needs before booking, and I will make sure I have your vet's information in case of emergencies. I require a meet & greet for first time bookings. This is a complimentary visit to meet your animals, learn the routines, and ask each other any questions we need to make sure they get the best care.

“Highly recommend! Although our dog was nervous at first, Nate spent extra time getting our puppy to trust him. They had a wonderful walk together. We would book again!”

“My dog received a minor injury on a walk with Kendall. It was 100% an accident that wasn't preventable and WAS NOT caused by any negligence or action on Kendall's part. Kendall called me right away. I couldn't answer because I was driving, so she left a detailed message and also sent me a text message. She sent me pictures and stayed with my dog until she calmed down. She also promptly contacted Rover to document the incident. The next day she texted to check how my dog was doing. I really appreciate how she handled the situation. I've already booked another walk with Kendall. She's great with my dog, flexible, responsive, and reliable. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats, and I also worked with a pet-sitting company for two years, which gave me lots of hands-on experience with pets of all personalities and needs. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the same love and attention I give my own. If you have any questions at all, I’m just a message away. Excited to connect! I work Mon-Friday at my full-time job but do have a lot of flexibility during the work week/weekend. Just let me know what works for you and I will adjust my schedule! I’m very patient and attentive to your pet’s individual needs and comfort level, and I always adjust my approach to meet them where they are. I go above and beyond to ensure your fur baby receives the care, attention, and respect they deserve.

“Ryan was our first Rover and it was a great experience! He took our pup for a nice walk, sent pics, and provided updates. We’d definitely ask him to walk her again!”

About: Caring for dogs since age 10, I grew up fostering pets and have experience with dogs, cats, and different personalities, providing loving, attentive, reliable care. I am available for Rover pet care services on most days of the week with a flexible and reliable routine. I can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings from Monday through Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday, making it easy to meet pets’ feeding, exercise, and companionship needs throughout the day. On Wednesdays, I am available in the morning and evening but unavailable during the afternoon, so care on that day would be adjusted to ensure pets receive attention before and after that time. I prioritize safe, respectful, and reliable care when looking after pets in their owner’s home. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, and daily routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I also take great care to keep the home secure by locking doors, monitoring pets closely, and preventing any potential escape or hazards. Cleanliness is important to me, so I maintain tidy feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces while ensuring anything unsafe is kept out of reach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being, watching for any signs of stress or illness and keeping owners updated with regular communication. Above all, I respect each home and its rules, providing a calm, safe, and loving environment so pets can feel happy and secure in their familiar space.

About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have dedicated my time/availability to pet care and sitting at any day and time! For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.

About: I love dogs and promise to love your pet the way you do, with TLC. I recently lost my pets and understand the importance of good care for your dog. I will do my best to accommodate any needs you have and care for your pet as well as you would. I love to baby dogs and give them lots of kisses. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your dog company. I can also create them if you would like me to.

“Very accommodating with our Bentley! My front desk workers at my apartment love her, as does Bentley!”

About: I’ve taken in many animals in need and got them supplies and environments they needed. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, turtles, and snakes in my past. I currently have two cats and one dog. I work from home so I can make some times others can’t due to working out of the home. I’m not always busy on the weekends and can help take care of your fur/non fur babies. Water, walks, bathroom needs, feeding, and some medicine applications. I like to give lots of cuddles to animas who want it and I typically leave shy animas alone unless I am approached. Always start with hand sniffs before applying pets.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life, including horses and cows so it’s safe to say I am comfortable with pets of all kinds. Im around dogs and cats most of the time these days and I enjoy playing tug-o-war or tease-pole and scratching chins, ears and fluffy butts! A few more things: -Im comfortable helping new puppies/kittens/adoptees learn any house rules and practice manners with positive reinforcement. -Im capable of administering medication with proper instructions. -Im capable of assisting elderly and/or disabled pets with a gentle touch Please reach out with any questions! I’m currently working part time and make my own schedule so I am very flexible. I’d like to take Sundays for myself so I’m not typically available, but I’m open to making special exceptions in an emergency so please reach out if needed. Your pets safety, and comfort is my top priority. I will always strive to not only meet your pets needs but make our time together something your pet looks forward to!
