“Nyree took amazing care of my fur baby and was very attentive. It’s hard to trust a stranger with your baby but Nyree made me feel very comfortable and at ease and I knew my pup was in good hands.”
“We are trying Xan out as our regular walker, twice a week. So far Xan clearly has a heart for dogs and brought Doris back happy! Looking forward to continue working with them.”
“Gabrielle did a fantastic job getting my dog on a couple walks to break up my long day at my sisters wedding. My dog was happy and well cared for when I came home, and Gabrielle gave updates with photos so I knew my dog was good throughout the day.”
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Paco, who tends to be wary around new people, grew to love her immediately, and with good reason. Larissa is so responsible, warm, friendly and kind, and she instinctively "gets" animals. She radiates positive energy and I am SO glad we found her. Five stars across the board!”
“Sounds like our pup Sage had a great 1st visit with Bri! Bri took the time to come for a meet & greet the day before which was much appreciated, & then she sent great feedback/photos after the visit…we’re looking forward to her next visit & feel that Sage is in great hands :) Thanks Bri!”
“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!”
“Aichon is absolutely wonderful with our Labrador. He LOVES her. She’s extremely flexible with our schedule and we trust her completely with entry into our home while we’re at work. She’s the best!”
“We again have used Lisa to check in, feed and walk our dogs. She’s amazing. We’ve hired her many times and will do so again. We highly recommend her!”
About: I've always been around dogs. I have experience with dogs ranging in age from 8-weeks to 13 years and a variety of breeds. I love to provide enriching care that keeps dogs happy and healthy! I'm a graduate nursing student, so pet care for those that are not my own fits in during the bits of free time I have throughout the week or on weekends. I haven't taken care of pets in other homes, but in other's homes I follow the instructions and guide given to me by those who own the pet.
“Amy is great - my 2 large retrievers really like her and are very excited when she comes to walk them. They are kind of psycho sometimes and each have very different personalities and she takes it all in stride. We’ve only worked with her for about a month but I appreciate her flexibility and her ease with big dogs. I hope to continue working together and would highly recommend Amy!”
“Athena is responsible, attentive and patient. We know the weather has been extremely cold and road condition was bad in these days. She did her best to walk with our dog and take good care of her. Athena is the best!”
“Sarah has been amazing! I recently adopted a 4 year old German Shepard, and I work long hours. She’s has been great with coming over and taking my rather dog for walks, and also helping him to acclimate to being in the city. She’s very patient, and always sends pictures and updates. She has spent more time with him than she has had to, and we both appreciate her extra time and care! I will continue to have Sarah take Duke for walks!”
“Madeline is great! She's very attentive, a great communicator, and truly cares for our pup. It's especially appreciated how caring she was for our dog Goldie as she recovered from her spay surgery. Would highly recommend☺️”
“I have a 1 year old German Shepard, who is pretty friendly for the most part but still has a lot of puppy in him. Full of energy and selective hearing =) Donna has been great for my boy and provides great updates on the walks she has taken him out on. I am very pleased with Donna. I will continue to use her as often as possible.”
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.
“Gillian was incredibly responsive, reliable, and kind! We had a last minute need for some walks, and she was so wonderful! Will definitely use her again!”
“Anna is amazing! She took great care of my dog and is a fantastic communicator.”
About: I've loved taking care of pets (both my own and friends') since I was a teenager. I enjoy getting to know each individual pet and their personalities! Trained my own puppies when I was in middle school. Volunteered and visited often at shelters in high school. Currently working freelance, allowing me a very flexible schedule to work around the needs of your pet! Looking for a fun way to get away from the screens! Cannot currently house pets in my home, but open and willing to stay or drop by as often as needed to care for your pet(s). I am very outgoing and energetic to keep them entertained and happy!
About: I’ve grown up with Labs and love all dogs. My neighbors have relied on me to take their dogs out for years! We owe our pets as much love as they give us. I work with a hybrid set up and recently sold my house. I have plenty of free time on the weekends and week nights and love to stay active and spend time with dogs. I can respectfully visit your home to make sure your pets don’t have to adjust to a different living environment when you’re gone or busy.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and taken care of them individually for 6 years. Whether they're big or small, young or old, I've seen and dealt with it all. I've cared for dogs with prominent allergies on multiple medications that have a strict routine and I've cared for dogs that prefer to go with the flow. Each and every one of them are like family to me and I'll treat them as such. I'm a graduate student who works part time so my schedule isn't too busy. I have a car and easy access to public transit so transportation is hardly an issue. I ask for advance notice so I can be transparent with my schedule! Safety is important to me! I ask to meet with you and your animal(s) once before we set up anything so I can understand your environment, routine, and expectations. This is also so I can meet your animal(s) and make sure that we mesh because their safety and trust is of the uptmost importance in this process!

Lynnea F.
“I've lived next door to Lynnea for 14 years, and consider her a good friend and neighbor. She was a very loving and caring parent for Dudley as long as I have known both of them. She always put Dudley first, and cared for him as her #1 priority. She also was able to help check on our pup Ladybug when she was still with us, and now with Zoey. I would totally trust her to walk Zoey or pet sit for us. Lynnea knows our pets are our children, and she understands how important they mean to all of us as their human parents.”

Sophia has excellent communication, is very prompt, and has attention to detail. Luna loves her and misses her when she is not with her. Thanks for all you do!”
