Dog Walking in Como, Saint Paul, MN

“Xinia has been a blessing in my life! Bingo is so lucky to have an amazing walker that goes out of her way to ensure my bingo is well taken care of and most importantly she makes sure my bingo is loved! Xinia has been very patient with my bingo as it takes her time to trust new people, but Xinia has done and outstanding job being patient & caring towards her. I would recommend her to anybody that’s looking for a a sitter, or a walker! 12/10 from me!”

“This was our first time working with Haley and she was so great with Dooley! We booked her for daily walks with our dog while we were away. She is easy to coordinate with and very responsive. She provided helpful updates and Dooley was excited to walk with her each day. Thanks Haley!”

“Sophie has been walking our dog twice a week for the last few weeks and it’s been awesome! Sophie is always on time, is a strong communicator about what happened on the walks, and most importantly takes really good care of our dog. Our dog loves her and that makes me so happy. Thank you Sophie!”

“Claire took my little pup out for her daily walk. She was on time and did a good job troubleshooting when she wouldn’t go back in her kennel. Thank you Claire.”

“Kayleah did a great job with our very large and energetic Shepherd mix! Her communication was excellent, and Dawson was always excited to see her. Next time we need a dog walker, we’ll definitely reach out!”

“Molly did a wonderful job walking our pups while we were out of town! We appreciated how punctual and communicative she was, sending us lots of pictures each time she visited. We could tell she gave the dogs lots of TLC and was very attentive to each of their different needs (one dog is a young energetic pup and the other is much older and low key). We’d absolutely work with her again!”

“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”

About: Andrew grew up taking care of family dogs, and Katie grew up caring for family cats. Together, our family had a dog for over 12 years who recently passed away. We love animals and find joy in caring for them! Katie works full time from home so is available to take wonderful care of your pet! On the weekends, our entire family is home and can provide care and plenty of time for play for your pet! We have a fenced in yard and currently no animals of our own in our house. We are also available to come to your home for walks or to spend time with your pet during the day.

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and regularly watch my friends' pets when they are out of town. My love and passion for dogs has led me to work as a part-time dog trainer in town, where I enjoy helping pets and their owners. With years of experience and a deep understanding of canine behavior, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry friends. As someone who enjoys spending time at home, I take great joy in walking dogs and engaging them in enriching activities. Because I work outside the home only a few days each week for limited hours, I have the flexibility to offer your pets attentive, consistent care throughout the day. My genuine love for animals ensures they’re always well cared for in a calm and stimulating environment. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. My 2 dogs love fetch and just sitting in the sun.

“Penny helped me out in a pinch and even hung out with my pup after their walk in the rain. Thank you!”

“My cattle dog is a happy and relaxed guy after he gets out with Cindy! She certainly knows how to work with/get around the reactivity and stubbornness that comes with the breed ;)”

“Robert was great to work with. He and Waffle got along really well. Robert took the time to do a meet and greet and visit before the first walk, even on a short notice. Robert has been flexible and accommodating with his schedule to meet our needs. After the walk, he sent us detailed comments and photos of their walk. I plan on continuing to work with him on an ongoing basis. I feel like Waffle is in good hands!”

About: Hello, my name is Nora! I am an experienced and reliable pet sitter, open to caring for all types of pets. I pride myself in being careful and responsible for the pets in my care as well as reliable and communicative with their owners. Ever since I was young I have been interested and passionate about animals. When I was a child I cared for many small pets (mice, gerbils, fish, newts and toads) and starting around 10 years old I started cat and dog sitting for friends and family members. As I grew up I gained experience in animal husbandry and worked in two animal rehabilitation centers, feeding, providing medical care and caring for sick and injured animals. I am now based in the Twin Cities and have expanded my own fur-family - I currently have a 12 year old calico cat and a 6 year old bully breed dog. I am available full time for pet care. I can provide dog/cat/pet sitting and house sitting in your home, drop-in visits, or dog walking. When you entrust me with your pets you can rest assured that I will treat them as my own and will deligently follow any pet care instructions or routines. I am currently doing pet care full time, so I have an open schedule for pet/house sitting, walks/playtime or drop-in visits to check in on your pet throughout the day. I can provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood/area that your pet is most familiar. I will always follow your care instructions and work with you to ensure that your pet is safe. I also have experience providing medicine to dogs, cats, and small pets.

“Went above and beyond and is being so helpful in getting Karla socialized while the world is locked down. Couldn’t imagine a better friend for our pup!”

About: Hi, I’m Destiny! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—growing up on a farm in North Dakota, I was always surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. From feeding bottle calves to walking dogs, animal care has been a natural part of my daily life since childhood. Now, as a third-year veterinary student at the University of Minnesota, I’ve combined my lifelong love for animals with professional training. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, senior, or needs special care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after while you’re away. While I am watching your pet, they can expect lots of play and/or relaxation time, whatever they enjoy. I have a passion for brushing dogs and removing all that excess hair, so if your pet needs a good brush, I am your gal. I also love to be outside and go for walks, so if your special pet enjoys walks, I am game. Every pet's needs and likes are different, and I can't wait to tailor their time with me to fit their preferences, whether it’s at my house or yours! Dogs have a special place in my heart, but I love all animals and will treat your pets like my own! I can't wait to meet your furry family members! As a veterinary student, my schedule can be a little chaotic, but the good news is, I live less than a mile from campus, which gives me a lot of flexibility. On the rare days I have class from 8 to 5, I can still come home over my lunch break to check in on your pet. Most days, though, I'm only on campus for 4–5 hours, and I’m often able to attend classes or meetings remotely via Zoom. That means I can usually be around for walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company throughout the day. I do my best to stay communicative and flexible to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, whether they're staying with me or I'm caring for them in your home.I have been caring for animals my entire life and have dedicated myself to this work. I have always had a variety of pets, including horses, dogs, cats, and hamsters, which has given me extensive experience. Since starting veterinary school, I have also provided pet-sitting services for veterinarians and fellow veterinary students. If your pet is staying at my place, they'll be in great hands, not just mine, but also those of my three roommates, who are all third-year veterinary students like me. We’re well-versed in animal behavior, health, and emergency care, so your pet will be in a calm, safe, and knowledgeable environment with plenty of attention and love. If I’m coming to your home, you can feel confident knowing I bring a strong foundation of veterinary knowledge and experience. I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness, and if something doesn’t seem right, I have quick access to licensed veterinarians through my personal network. I’m also familiar with many of the clinics in the Twin Cities area and would not hesitate to get your pet the care they need in an emergency. No matter the setting, I’m committed to treating your pet like family and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve always loved animals, but I didn’t realize my passion until I worked at a dog daycare during my undergrad where I worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and needs. After graduation I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years. If your semi-cooperative pet needs an ear clean, gland expression, or medication I’ll be more than happy to help out! I have a special place in my heart for senior pet care as my own dog (and family dogs I grew up with) are all geriatric. I’m a 3rd year veterinary student looking for opportunities helping people with their pets when I’m not in class! I’m in my 3rd year of veterinary school, so my schedule fluctuates week from week, but I do my best to accommodate the requests I get for drop-ins and walks! I have a dog at home who is picky with other animals, so I unfortunately cannot bring your pet into my home. From the experience I have working in veterinary clinics, I have gained knowledge and training to help me care for pets in a variety of situations and ensure their safety and well-being. I will always prioritize a pet’s comfort, health, and happiness, and I’m confident handling pets and can provide extra attention or care to them as needed. I want to make each visit a positive experience, offering reliable, loving care while you’re away.

“Showed up in a timely manner and did a great job walking my dog.”

“Gretchen is the best! She accommodates our last minute requests, is flexible with our schedule and takes such good care of our dog, Ruby. Ruby is very high energy and she always comes back tired and happy from her walks with Gretchen. She loves loves loves her time with Gretchen and our lives have become simpler knowing we have a great option to come be with Ruby.”

About: Grew up loving and raising animals. I have a ton of experience with birds as well as cats and dogs. My husband won’t let me get another lab yet so I am here to walk and visit your dog when you are away. I love walks in any weather and will send you all the pictures you want! I love both morning and sunset walks. I can visit 1-2x a day but am open to more if the match is right. I am looking to spend more time outdoors and this is perfect. I am very respectful of both the owners and animals space. I am a guest in the home and will act accordingly. I will ensure your pet is left safely at home until you get home by making sure they’re not locked into a room and that your entry is secure when I leave.

“Margaret took the best care of our girl! Lola was so loved and through the photos and videos, we could see how much she loved Margaret. Margaret is a lovely person who really loves dogs and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
