Dog Walkers in Dilworth, MN

“We needed someone to walk our dogs day-of, and Lauren made time in her schedule to do so! She took care of our three pups, taking them on a walk and working with their different ages and needs, then fed them before leaving. We are very thankful our dogs could be taken care of by such a friendly and caring individual!”

About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard but a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with us. Currently have dogs, cats, rats, and a tortoise. Rats and tortoise are kept in different closed rooms. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)

About: I have had a dog as long as I can remember. I have dog sat for multiple family friends with different breeds. I am good at taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and more. I can adapt to different temperaments. I have also taken care of a 14 year old dog that had a very specific schedule and needed constant supervision to help keep away from potty accidents and very specific feeding instructions. I work full time but don't start until evening. I am able to sit with your pups more most of the day. I already love to sit around with my old lady dog. I can tell when she's in a mood to play so we play until she is done and ready to go take some more naps. I would love to play with your dogs as well! I will only watch your dogs in your own homes. I can follow any instructions you want. I can bring a ball with me but you will need to provide other toys if desired. I like to be in the same room so I can see them to make sure they aren't doing something they shouldn't be.

About: I have helped friends and family care for their pets when they are gone. I even helped a neighbor friend when I was in middle school take care of his dogs when his family was out of town. I enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs. I get summers off from my full time job. I will have a part time job which is scheduled on my terms. Therefore I have availability in my schedule to have several "clients" and fulfill required tasks. I have a fenced yard. Also take my dog on several walks especially in the summer. He enjoys playing tug of war in the house with his toys. He also gets exercise running up to the front window to bark at cars going by. :)

About: I have taken care of many dogs. My friends and family have trusted me with all kinds of dogs. I love to walk dogs, play with dogs, and everything else that comes with being a pet owner! I have a very open schedule. I may be gone for an hour in the morning and occasional events from time to time. I will have lots of available time to spend with your dog. My home has a very large fenced in backyard. We have a great walking path for long or short walks. We have one dog that gets along very well with other dogs.

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to consider me. I've been a lifelong pet owner, and welcome all types of animals! I spent two years in the professional dog boarding industry, and now I'm looking to work on a more personal level with my two and four legged clients. I'm comfortable handling dogs and cats of all ages, temperments, and medical needs. Patience and kindness is my motto. I promise to treat your furbabies like they were my own, and send you lots of photo updates! Notable past clients have included a 20 year old orange tabby, 2 guinea pigs, and a terrier mix overcoming severe fear and anxiety issues. No animal is too big or too small, too old or too large. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions! - Kathryn I consider pet care to be my full time job! My schedule is flexible, with one standing commitment: I volunteer at Cat's Cradle shelter on Thursdays from 4pm-6:30 pm. I stay positive, calm, and gentle in my interactions. My patience is my best asset for building trust with your pet. I want them (and you!) to feel like they're in safe hands while you're gone. I like to stick to their routine as much as possible to help keep them relaxed and happy. I also make sure their environment stays tidy and clean.

“Always on time down to the minute. Medical training and previous veterinarian. I feel my puppy is in good hands, and never i have to worry about my puppy's safety. She's beyond just a person who walks my dog. Kish has built a relationship with my dog. My dog is always happy to know she's going on a walk with her. To my dog she's just another family member at this point. Would have anybody body else walk my dog at this point.”

“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve helped train dogs before and I'd love to assist in sharpening their skills. I love walks or staying at home! I enjoy all dog company! I currently have control and flexibility of creating my own schedule. So I’m technically working part-time but I can work full-time if I want to. I follow their pets routines so they don’t feel as sad when their owners leave. This helps to regulate their days and overall mood and well-being.

I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with a variety of medical needs, including medication administration and monitoring special conditions.

About: My family has grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember so let’s have always been a central part of my life. As a middle and high schooler, family friends would ask me to take care of their pets while they were out of town and I have missed being able to do that since coming to college so I want to start it back up with Rover! I’m currently finishing up my bachelors degree and am at the tail end of it so my days are fairly flexible and I can bring most of my work home to be able to take care of pets throughout the day! The pet is just like a person with needs and wants. Figuring out the timing and specific wants of each pet while maintaining order is my utmost priority. Also, giving the pet somewhere with someone to relax with is extremely important in helping the pet navigate a change in schedule.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young. During that time I experienced my dogs go through every stage of life and was able to care for them through it all. Im currently only Doordashing this summer, so I have a very flexible work schedule. I will be leaving for a 2 week trip at the start of August, after that my schedule will have to work around school. I have taken care of my dogs since I was young. Caring for them and for any pet is an ever changing task and I find myself able to easily adapt to those changes.

“Mindy was great! I will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”

About: We have always been dog lovers our whole life and was finally able to adopt one of our own three years ago. Mae is our sweet loving girl and we couldn’t imagine life without her. Dogs and animals hold a special place in our hearts! I am a teacher and my husband is a nurse. Over the weekends we find any way possible to hang out with Mae, take her for walks, to the dog park, and of course to get sweet treats. During the week we always find plenty of time for walks and lots of love and belly scratches on the couch! Mae and other dogs roam free in our house! We have a fenced in backyard to allow for lots of play time, and inside they are more than welcome on any bed or couch!

About: I’ve known animals for as long as I’ve known to breathe. From the time I could walk, I was playing and interacting with my family pets.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I was always responsible for my dogs growing up which including: feeding them on time, walking them at least once a day, and giving them a bath at home at least once a month. I made sure they were played with and worn out so they will get a good night sleep. I am a college student but during the summer I don’t have job, because I can only work a month. I am available mostly everyday though so I’m able to take care of your pets at any given moment!

About: Growing up, I've always had pets, and my affection for them has only grown stronger as I've gotten older. I'm fascinated by creatures of all kinds and enjoy learning about them.

I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and provide that unconditional safety and love. Ideally weekends work best but weekdays in the morning are just fine as well. I have a mixed schedule so contact me for any questions. I can always assure my clients that i will take the finest possible care of their dog or cat. I do recognize that leaving a pet at home can be stressful but I make note of all relevant information, such as emergency contacts, veterinarian details, food recommendations, medication information, alarm codes, etc. Never forgetting to lock the doors, and never leave the building without a key. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands.
