Dog Walking Downtown West

“Curtis was a huge help last minute for me! I really appreciated his confidence in walking my very nice, but quirky dogs. He followed instructions well and I really enjoyed his detailed rundown of the walks. I could tell he really does enjoy spending time & taking care of pets. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family home, spending lots of time taking care of them and pet sitting for my parents once I moved out. I love the opportunity to spend time with animals during a time in my life I’m not able to have one of my own! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I can provide dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, and companionship whenever needed. I possess a strong attention to detail and love following a schedule, so I can ensure that everything will feel as normal as possible for your pet while you are away.

“I can tell how much Dottie loves Lisa in all the pictures and updates I get. It’s priceless knowing my dog is happy and safe while I’m at work.”

“Ashley was super. Always, on time. And she did give Starke a really good walk.”

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

“Always takes the best care of my dog!! Great communication and accommodating my dogs needs. It makes my day when I get to see all the fun routes they take and the cute and funny pictures of my dog😂 thank you Sydney!!!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up and have found that having a companion as a pet makes a world of difference in our lives. I missed this companionship greatly throughout college and since graduating and am excited to be able to provide calm, loving, and supportive care. My family dog has a complex medical condition, so my experience ranges from the standard care to managing special diets and restrictions. As a nurse, I'm used to being calm, attentive, and dependable when it matters most. I bring that same mindset to pet care, using my free daytime hours to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I am a responsible and respectful guest and committed to honoring the privacy of client's homes while providing loving pet care. I have a dog park/play area in my building and live near a couple of parks, making my home a great place for calmer, well behaved animals.

“Grace was awesome with my dog and cat! I felt that she was better than other sitters/walkers I've used in getting my pets beneficial activity and giving them valuable attention. The cat, who doesn't always like people, took to her in a matter of minutes. She was reliable, flexible, and kind. I definitely recommend her for dog and cat owners!”

“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”

Jessica K.

“Scott is amazing. They're so good with Freya, and she loves them so much. She looks forward to walking with them and comes back very happy. I highly recommend Scott”

Patricia W.

“Jenna goes above and beyond to care for her client and their pet. Very attentive, accommodating, and respectful of changes and dedicated to making everyone happy. I have great respect for her and she always does a great job and is very transparent. Love having her support and attention to detail especially with my puppy. Means a lot! Can’t recommend a better dog walker/sitter!!”

About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, including caring for my own cat and providing babysitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following specific care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with animals so they feel safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness. I am available for part-time pet care in the evenings after 6 PM on weekdays due to my full-time work schedule. I am also available on weekends with more flexible hours. I do not have a car, so I focus on local clients and can provide dog walking and in-home pet care at the client’s residence only. I am not able to board pets in my home, but I am reliable, consistent, and committed to giving pets attentive and loving care during my visits. I provide pet care in my client’s home by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, and engaging pets in play and companionship. I always follow owner instructions carefully, including any special dietary needs or medications. I focus on safety, patience, and building trust with each pet so they feel secure while their owner is away. I do not board pets in my home, but I am available for in-home visits and dog walking services only.

“Michelle is great! Communicative, reliable, and kind. Happy to have her as our dog walker and would recommend her to others looking for the same!”

About: We LOVE dogs and have a city sized house full of people that love giving them attention! We have 2 school age children but are home full time in the summer with a good sized fenced backyard and our own friendly pups, Oli and Lulu. We go back to our full-time jobs as educators on August 25, so our calendar reflects our school year availability (mostly weekends and some school breaks!) I (Kara) grew up always having a dog in the family, and as soon as I could, I acquired one of my own. I've learned that dogs need people, but people need dogs just as much. All this to say, we can't imagine a world without these furry little companions! With many attentive people in our household, your dog will never have needs unmet. Whether it be snuggles, toys, pets, walks, playtimes, food... be assured we can handle it! We can't wait to meet your dog! We both work in education, so our summers are very open & flexible and offer so many opportunities for dog walks, dog parks, pet cuddles, etc. Once the school year starts, our calendar reflects our weekend and school break availability! We have a fenced back yard and get on many outings with our own high energy dog. We do on long walks daily and often to the off leash dog park (if your dog is licensed in Minneapolis). We have a friendly cat that mostly keeps to herself around dogs, but she does not allow other cats in the home (so we are unable to board cats.)

About: Hi, I’m Lydia — dog mom, belly rub expert, and professional sniff-spot scout. I’ve spent 15 years learning what dogs actually want (hint: it’s all of the above), and a lifetime growing up with dogs and cats of every personality. Energetic or chill, young or old, I’ve got them covered. My daily and weekly routine revolves around pet care. My dog is my first thought when I wake up and the last thing I worry about before bed. I have an abundance of parks near my home that I can take your fur baby to for both exercise and play. I love a good adventure.

About: I work from home and attend university online as well. So I will be with my furry friends 24/7. I never really leave them alone. When I doggy sit, I've always thought of them as my own while they are around. While I have them, I get to play with them, walk around and get my walks in, enjoy Netflix on the couch, and more importantly naps and cuddles together! When I walk them, I am always aware of other dogs and I'm always protective of "my" dogs, unless I know for sure the other dog/s are super nice. I love a happy dog. My partner can tell you I cry easily when I see a suffering animal of any kind, especially dogs. So If I'm doggy sitting, I make sure they know love. I work from home so this would be a great opportunity for me to make extra money but to also have a dog around. My two cats, Felix and Oscar, past away recently (they had a great 20 years!) and I miss having a pet buddy around. I've been a regular dog sitter for my friends (shout out to Jake the shy but awesome boston terrier, Kingsley the lovable and kind pit bull and Gus Gus the instagram famous french bull dog!) So, I know this will be a great opportunity for me. I work from home and attend university online so I am home 24/7. Unless it's an emergency, I will be with your dog ALL the time I'm with them. I love and follow instructions very well and in detail pertaining to the dogs' specific care given to me. I ALWAYS send daily photos and messages with updates about the dogs.

“It was a great experience working with Laura. Her communication and updates throughout her visits with Chance were so very appreciated. Laura is also incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Thank you for everything!”
