Dog Walking Downtown

About: I've had pets since I was a child. My best friend and I would catch lizards and insects growing up. I've volunteered at my local shelter (in Florida), and I often visit shelters to give animals attention. Friends and coworkers know me for my love for animals and entrust me with their care when they are away for a work day or an extended period of time. LGBTQIA+ friendly Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I live and work full-time in downtown St. Paul with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care on workdays—whether that’s walks, check-ins, or some quality time. On weekends, I’m able to dedicate full days to pet care. I love going on neighborhood walks and outdoor excursions when the weather’s nice, and I’d be happy to have your fur baby join me. I always meet each pet where they’re at, whether they need lots of activity or a little extra emotional support. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I focus on giving each animal the kind of attention and interaction that fits their personality. I’m happy to provide all the pets, cuddles, and playtime they want, but I always let them set the pace. I love playing fetch, being chased (or doing the chasing!), and I’m comfortable engaging in a bit of rough play with larger breeds when appropriate to help them burn off energy. I always respect an animal’s space and let them approach me first. With cats, for example, I’ll take things slowly and use gentle cues like slow blinking to help build trust. Whether your pet loves being a lap companion or just wants a calm presence nearby, I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in any environment.

“Shayla has been an amazing dog walker for our little Mabel! She’s very attentive, fast at communicating, always takes lots of pictures and always fills out the Rover card! If I could give her ten stars, I would! 😊”

About: Welcome to CharMollys Pet Sitting! 🐾 Hi, I’m Mario, and I provide loving, reliable care for both dogs and cats in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. Whether your pet is staying for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. From energetic dogs who love playtime and walks to cats who prefer a quiet, relaxing space, I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. When boarding with me, pets receive plenty of attention, affection, fresh water, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a clean, comfortable place to rest. Safety is always my top priority, and I strive to create a low-stress environment where pets can feel happy and secure while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected and have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. Thank you for considering CharMollys Pet Sitting. I look forward to meeting you and providing exceptional care for your beloved pets! – Mario CharMollys Pet Sitting 🐶🐱 I’m available for drop-offs and pick-ups anytime, day or night, and I maintain a very flexible schedule to accommodate your needs. Whether you need early morning, late evening, or last-minute arrangements, I’m happy to work with you. I have an open schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care while making the drop-off and pick-up process as convenient and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will enjoy a calm, private, air-conditioned room designed exclusively for boarding. I provide personalized attention, daily photo and video updates, and an stress-free environment where shy, nervous, and senior pets can feel safe and comfortable. With years of animal care experience, I understand animal behavior and give each guest the patience and care they deserve. Unlike traditional boarding facilities, your pet will stay in a room by itself, helping reduce stress and create a more relaxing experience

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and have been around many different animals over the years. I started out pet sitting for friends of family members, and families in my local community in my spare time. I have also taken care of a few senior pets over the years by making sure they get their right medications and foods throughout my stay. I also help take care of farm animals, outdoor bird feeders, along with indoor and outdoor plant watering and care. I currently have two cats, Scooter and Goose and they are my world. I am currently working about 20-25 hours a week. My current job is very flexible with hours and time that would allow me to stop in a care for your pets. I am available to do a few days, with the possibility of extending that period of time. I would be able to stop in and care for your pets before I head to work for the day (roughly 4 to 8 hours regularly, but can be flexible) and again after I am done with work for the day before engaging in any activities or turning in for the evening. I am open to stopping in daily and caring for you pets in your home as I dont have much space while I am currently living in the city with roommates and multiple pets in our household. If your pet has a favorite park, or yard to play in, I would be happy to engage in their favorite activities hwith them in those places.

About: I’ve had 15 years of dogs in my houses and many pets in the family who have needed sitting. I’m also normally responsible for the puppy age :) My dog is a 6 year old black lab. We live along the river in a townhouse, so I’m always out taking him for long walks or to the neighborhood dog park. I’m currently unemployed so have lots of free time and in the habit of pet care! Pet care available in our home. We have 3 separate floors so I can keep your dog apart from my dog if preferred. Lovely dog park a short walk from the house, access to grass areas right outside our front door, and miles of paths along the river that a very walk friendly.

“Remy is great with my dog! She is communicative and thorough. I know my dog is in great care with her. She is also a great photographer and sends the best pictures! I highly recommended Remy!”

“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!”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember and the first thing I wanted to do when I moved out on my own was to get my own little puppy so I got my first mini dachshund who I named Bennie. He is the light of my life. I love him so much! I’m currently working part-time so I would expect to be able to visit a home once or twice a day. Probably once in the morning and once in the late afternoon or evening. I am very experienced with the dogs and I love to meet new dogs! I was raised around animals so I have a lot of experience with lots of different types of animals too.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families. I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning. My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.

“Jennifer was great! She took my pup on nice long walks and left excellent details about how he did!”

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

“Sy has been a lifesaver helping me with Lilly during the week!! She was super quick to respond to my initial request, which I was so grateful for because I needed services suddenly. And to top it all off, Lilly loves her so I feel like she’s in great hands whenever I’m gone! She goes above and beyond, even helping me with her medication when I asked. And she seems to really care about Lilly’s wellbeing, like she’s her own. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve had pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, pigs etc.) my whole life, but have not been able to have my own in recent years due to my partner’s frequent work travel! Looking to get my animal loving fix while I’m stateside :) I love walks and I am able to accommodate the needs of high energy breeds who need to be walked far/frequently. Very willing to take animals who may need medicines at certain times, and very patient with both young and old animals. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate any schedule your pet is accustomed to in order to make their sitting experience as stress free as possible! I require meet and greats for all new clients to ensure it’s a good fit for me and your furry friend! When walking dogs (and the rare cat who likes walks!) I complete a check off all leash and harness components before I embark. I typically avoid allowing strangers to pet when they ask, unless it’s specifically mentioned that the pet is tolerant of attention from strangers. I also take care to walk away from any other pets whenever possible to mitigate risk of any other animal being aggressive. I am very reliable when it comes to home security, and I ensure that client homes are secured and keys (if applicable) are returned to lockboxes or elsewhere they belong. I will be in communication strictly through the Rover app and will be available constantly for messages and calls. I send frequent photos of pets as well, as part of my process of communicating with clients.

“Michelle did an amazing job with Daisy. Very timely with communication in the booking process. Very impressed and will be the first place we look when we have walking needs!”

About: Growing up in a house of animals, and having a small zoo of my own (2 dogs and 2 cats), I have a lot of experience taking care of animals. I have dog and cat sat for friends for years. I am currently available for Drop ins and Walks. I try to spend a bare minimum of 15 minutes with any drop in to make sure they get all the attention that they need. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I understand that all Walks aren't created equal. My Walks always vary based off of the needs of the dog. I am also an avid cat lover. I am more than happy to stop by and feed, clean the litter box, and snuggle/play with your feline friends. Currently I work full time on the West side of the cities, but I have Sundays and Mondays off to help with your animal needs. My hope is to expand my availability over time. My current weekend lines up with some weekdays. I spend most of those days out and about, so I'd love to check in on some cute animal while I am at it! Slow and steady is always best. I am a believer in letting animals come to you. I have experience with a kennel trained and unkennel trained dogs. As the owner of a 15 lb dog and a 80 lb dog, I am experienced in walking all sizes of dogs.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, a bearded dragon, and a whole lot of fish. I have a soft spot for spicy cats as I have one of my own. Currently, live in a space where I can't have a dog but if I could it would be a loveable rescue who loves to play and to go on walks. I've taken care of many friends and family pets over the years and excited to make some new furry (and scaly) friends! Through the summer my schedule is very flexible. I work at an elementary school as a reading tutor so during the school year I am available late afternoons/evenings and weekends. I am organized, outgoing, and friendly and as long as you have detailed instructions I feel confident taking care of your pets in your home.

“Rosie had a great time with Brian. He was great with our girl, took her on an excellent walk. Will definitely book again. Thanks so much, Brian!”

“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful - treats my dog as if she were her own. My dog loves her daily walk with Carolyn. I especially appreciate how she takes into consideration the age and special needs of my dog. Thank you for everything Carolyn!!!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've got two cats and a doggo of my own. I'll treat your pup like their part of my pack. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
