Dog Walking in Cottage Grove

“Gina was punctual for scheduled dog walks, and responsive to our needs. As we had our dog staying with my mom over a holiday weekend, Gina was happy to coordinate on details with her. Also, since my mom is a little timid with new people, Gina was kind and sensitive when meeting her for the first time. Mom said that she was friendly, and very good with our dog. She took her on 20 min walks, which met our expectations and needs. She also used Rover's system to consistently report in/out as to when walks began and concluded. Thanks to Gina for her great service and kindness. We'd be happy to call on you again!”

“Leann was incredible to work with, even with some difficulties in planning. She rolled with the punches and was incredibly kind and helpful!”

“Tom has been an amazing addition to my mom’s little rescue, Murphy. My mom is able to provide all the snuggles and cuddles Murphy requires, but not the exercise. I live out of state and my mom is not good with technology. I was able to find Tom easily on Rover and see that he had excellent reviews and could be someone my mom could count on to help exercise little Murphy. I think Mr. Murphy likes his new buddy, Tom.”

“Cleb walked our dogs over a period of two months. He was always punctual and very pleasant . My dogs were always excited to see him when he arrived. I would definitely recommend him to others and book him again.”

About: I have always been a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I have one cat of my own and I have had her for 6 years now. I also have 2 dogs. I grew up always having cats and dogs in the family. I would love you watch your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy while you are out of town, or at work all day. Message me for dog walking, drop in visits, or other inquires. I will always treat your pet as my own, and make sure that they are comfortable while you can’t be with them. I hope that you contact me to help you take care of your pets while you are away from home! I am working part time throughout the summer and will start back to school in the fall. I am very flexible with my hours. I play with my own pets throughout each day and walk my dogs often. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly once they warm up to new people and that would love to meet new friends. At drop in visits, I care for your pet based off the information the owner gives me.

“Elyse was wonderful! So attentive and caring for our pup. You can tell she really knows and loves dogs. We will definitely be using her again for walks and sitting!”

“She does a great job taking care of our pup! We’ve been having her walk our dog for the last couple weeks, will definitely keep using her!!”

“Micajah really loves walking with Bonnie. He greets her enthusiastically and doesn't bark when she comes to the door. Bonnie is always on time or early and gives him a great walk!”

“Tracy was so kind and wonderful with our puppy! She sent lots of pictures and videos and made me feel at peace about not being able to be home to take our dog for walks.”

“Michelle is really caring and attentive. She is probably the calmest person I know and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog or cat with her for any length of time!”

“I had an excellent experience with Erica. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and treated my furry friend with utmost care. Communication was seamless, and I received regular updates, including photos, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Amber was incredibly accommodating with my last minute pet-sitting needs! My dog, Jazzy, is an older (14yrs) Basset hound with a myriad of health issues, who requires a special diet, 2-3x daily medications and special accommodations in regards to her limited mobility (lots of dog beds, and limited use of the stairs.) Both of Amber's dogs were super friendly, and understanding of Jazzy's "senior status." They let her rest, giving her space when needed, and I even received pics (via text) of all three dogs, snuggling up to one another, at least when my Jazzy was open to it lol At no point during my short vacation did I feel concerned about my girl Jazzy's well-being, as I received frequent text updates, and if I ever needed to reach out to Amber--she was a quick phone call away.”

“Chelsey is definitely a dog lover through and through. Her dog Reid is loving, sweet, very playful, happy, and she takes good care of him.”

“Abby has watched my pets while we have been at vacations for many years. She is amazing with them. She has experience with watching my elderly dog before he passed and 4 cats. She has also taken care of a hamster. She ensures they are well loved and spoiled while we are gone and gets the exercise that they need. Highly recommended”

About: I've had pets growing up and has always had a good habit for animal care and husbandry. I have a good understanding of canine (and feline) behavior, background in veterinarian technician, and success in basic training. My schedule can vary. Please contact ahead of time for the most accommodating dates. I will make time if I know the duration and time. I have a fenced in yard and a small dog of my own. I can keep dogs separated if need. Let me know how I can accommodate your pet.

“Dogs seem to gravitate towards Ellie; they instinctively understand her and respond well to her commands. Ellie has a natural flair around all animals. She is dependable and trustworthy.”

“Thank you for taking such good care of Afton while we were away!”

“Megan knows and loves all animals, but especially dogs. She is kind and caring to every animal I have ever seen her around. Dogs seem to sense her calmness and are always at ease around her because of her loving nature towards them. Megan is a very good dog owner, not only is she loving towards her dog, but I have also seen how she gives consistent messages around behaviors and expectations that have resulted in a well trained, loving and happy dog. I would highly recommend Megan to care for your pet without hesitation.”

“I have known Sara for eight years and seen her care for many different animals throughout that time. She is kind and compassionate at all times. She loves to go for long walks with her dogs and then snuggle for hours after. She helped take care of my dog when he needed a daily medication and required a diaper Full-time. She is able to administer medicine whether it be oral or topical. She is wonderful with animals and I trust her with my own.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life as long as I can remember. Currently I have a yellow lab, 2 cats, 7 chickens & am a “step parent” to 2 pugs. I love being active and am very happy to take your pets on adventures, walks, and runs with me. I also have experience as a first responder and currently work in the ER, so I’m reliable in an emergency! I work full time at the Children’s hospital but am very flexible outside of my work hours. As a healthcare worker, my schedule varies & that allows a lot of flexibility on my off days. I am reliable, trustworthy, and will treat your pets like my very own. I understand that pets are our family, and I value the trust needed to leave them in my care.
