Dog Walkers in Eagle Lake, MN

“Alex has been great with my dog. She filled in for five weeks while my regular dogwalker was out of town and was really wonderful to work with. Always very responsive, and understanding about my dog's foibles (like pretending she DOESN'T need to poo). I'll be using her again whenever I need a sub!”

“Kaitlyn was great! My dog can be a real chaos monster but she’s so wonderfully patient, that she was able to get him out on walks and happy. I’ll definitely ask for her again if I need somebody in the future!”

About: I have been watching pets since I was 13. My family and friends have always relied on me for years as their primary sitter. I have a wide range of experience from puppies to seniors. Trained in dog body language and behavior to correct inappropriate play and limit incidences in multiple dog homes or during play dates. Can administer medications and supplements. Experience with seizure risk dogs. I love to provide baths and nail trims/grinds when requested to provide a little something extra while caring for dogs. Reptiles and pocket pets (bunnies, guinea pigs, ferrets, sugar gliders, etc.) are a specialty. I have around 8 years of experience. Knowledgable in a variety of reptiles and able to efficiently learn more care to provide the best possible. I have some experience with birds, but happy to learn more. I work a part-time job giving me more time to care for your fur babies. I can sit on weekends that aren’t planned in advance on my schedule. Holidays sitting is dependent on care requirements as I like to spend this time with extended family. I don’t provide my home for sitting at this time due to my own pets and the limited space, and I’m a strong believer that your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Overnight stays I don’t do with new clients, but can change with more familiarity. Due to this a potty break before bed is given, and I will be there in the morning for another potty and breakfast. I will also hang with your pets during the day on and off, and do any extra activities requested that fit with my schedule. I strive to maintain cleanliness when providing care at a client’s home. I will always clean up after myself and animals after a long stay. I try to stick to routines, but sometimes may need to adjust with my job. Providing baths and nail trims/grinds after a stay is a perk I like to offer to those wanting. Coming home to a clean house and pet(s) is very important to me when working with clients.

About: I have pet sit dogs for several years including pups with special unique needs like diabetes, anxiety, etc. I am familiar with medication administration and I love dogs of all sizes! Especially pits :) Currently I work four days a week, so I am fully available Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays at any timeslot or evening visits any day of the week. I am available anytime during those three days which allows for focused pet care! I like to create a calming environment and then match the animals energy. I am totally down to play fetch or with toys, as well as being quiet company for someone who is maybe more shy. I respect animals boundaries very well and find it vital to build trust with them in order for a successful visit.

“Maisie was awesome with our greyhound! She walked her for a full hour, about 2.5 miles. She was great to communicate with and super friendly! Will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets longer than I can remember - from helping grandma with her horses and barn cats to spoiling and training our own dachshund puppy and two amazing kitties - I am well equipped for any situation. Some background for me: I was born and raised in Alaska! There I took care of cats of varying abilities/disabilities/age, dogs of all sizes and abilities/disabilities/age, and fish! There’s been instances where I have stayed over a month to look over a special needs cat, and dug my car out after a heavy snow to make sure a hyper puppy gets a good hike in! I’m adaptable and communicative - you can be sure that I’ll send you plenty of photos and videos of your pet while you’re gone! Now I’m here in Minnesota to finish college, start life with my new husband, and take care of the pets in Southern Minnesota! I’m currently still a student! But I have Tuesdays, Thursdays, and the weekends for the most part completely open! Otherwise, I will make sure to check in on your pets between classes to ensure they don’t go more than four hours alone. I can’t have a pet in my apartment right now 😭 but when I’m back home in Alaska, we had a fenced area for our dog while she was still with us, and we have two full-time indoor cats. We love to spoil our animals - lots of love, kindness, and a patient environment. Just positive reinforcement and steady routines over here!

About: I have spent the past three summers doing overnight dog sitting in my hometown just about every weekend. I have been recommended and continue to get new jobs. I am a part time student at the University of Minnesota so I have plenty of free time. I also serve in the army national Gaurd. I have now been dog walking and dog sitting for over 3 years in Mankato and would love for more opportunities. I am a part time student at Minnesota State Mankato and only have classes in the morning so I have plenty of free time in the afternoon and overnight. In the summer I am home in Brownsville Minnesota and looking for more opportunities near me Over the past three summers of my dog sitting career I have had 5 clients that have me stay at their house over the weekends while they are gone. I love running and exercising so the animals are sure to stay active. I have not run into any problems in the three years I have pet sit before.

About: I have experience with all sorts of breeds! I have helped trained all 5 of pur family dogs and 3 of my friends dogs. Potty training, kennel training, excessive bark training, leash training, and re call training. I also have experience with diabetic and senior dogs. I love to make sure that your pet is getting the excersise needed for their breed. If thats dping puzzles, fetch or walking! Im currently working part time with a loft of flexibility as I create my own schedule. I do daily walks (getting my steps in is a priority for me) I follow the instructions left by pet parents. I make sure to slowly introduce myself to pet. Making sure we are both comfortable before moving on to task. IE playing, walking, being let out on lead. I make sure that if your pet is sleepy they are fully awake before rushing into things. While we are getting used to each other I let your pet guide me on walks (while keeping them safe)

“Thank you for handling my dog's so well. They were comfortable with you and happy and your services are greatly appreciated. I love my dog's as they are part of my family and I don't hand them over easily so, thank you.”

“Cassie has been. Rey patient and flexible as we’ve been establishing our schedule. She takes the cutest pictures and texts them to me at work. It has made it easier to leave my Charliedoodle and go to work.”

About: I have grown up in a household full of rescue dogs of every breed and mix. In my neighborhood, neighbors have asked me the past few years to watch their dogs and even some cats. It doesn’t matter the dog, big or little, I’ll be more than excited to make a new furry friend! My current schedule leaves me a lot of free time during the mornings so I could be your go-to morning gal! I also will be available most nights before your dog’s bed times. I feed them, I can give them medicine, and I especially like to play with them! Come treat time, I like to make them work for their treat!

About: I have had pets my whole life that have lived in the house. We have dogs, cats, and even a lizard I have taken care of! I was home alone a lot so taking care of my animals is first priority and a habit. I am a college student and working a seasonal job so there is times to for me to show your pet some love and taken care of! I have no pets at our apartment but we do live close to some parks and our backyard has plenty grass to play in! There is room if your pet has to be crated as well!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I helped taking care of all my dogs and even trained them as puppies. I love being around animals especially dogs. I am currently a college student I go to school at the university of Minnesota State Mankato. I am majoring in Child development and Family Studies with a minor in psychology. I am not ready to commit to a dog of my own, but I wanted the opportunity to be around dogs. I am currently working a part time job 3 days a week but I am able to dog walk on the weekends and the days I am not working. I give a lot of attention to the dogs and of course would love to take them on long walks as I am quite active myself. Please let me know if your dog has any certain issues that could be with other dogs, or they don’t do well around to many people that would be helpful to know before walking them :)

About: I've taken care of taken care of dogs for family and friends for two years including feeding, walking them, and playing with them. I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have yet to meet a dog I did not like. I'm currently working full time, but I'm free on my lunch hour to let pets out on potty breaks. I'm also available after work for potty breaks and a walk. All pets would be loved and given plenty of attention. I would want to make sure the pet feels safe around me and I around them.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! I’m home from college for the summer, which means my schedule is wide open, and I’m available any day, any time for pet care! Whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m here and happy to help. With a super flexible schedule, I can easily work around your routine and give your pet the attention they need whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!

About: I grew up with pets. Since I no longer have my own pets I miss spending time with pets. I started caring for my friends pets and now decided to expand to others. I grew up with dogs as my best friends. I no longer have my own pets as I live in a building that charges extra to have a pet per month. I also like to travel. I am a grandmother of 3 wonderful boys. And I enjoy walking and being outside. I will care for pets at your home. I do not offer pet sitting at my own home as I live in an apartment building that would charge me per month to have a pet.

About: Ive been known to walk a few dogs and hunt cats down, haha. More about being around dogs than $, etc. helping people, etc, etc I do long jobs out of town and drive Uber Eats, so I make my own custom schedule. I may be available at times when you need or want a caretaker. I follow custom instructions, and do what's healthy and right for your dog (s), including filling water, food, going outside, playing ,and paying attention to dogs.

About: We've had dogs since when my husband and I first got married, in about 2006. We've lived in our wonderful home for about five years. We've got a beautiful 2-acre yard with a small fenced-in area next to the house. There is plenty of room to fetch and explore, and lots of wonderful trails nearby. We can take your pup to the river, or on a stroll through town! We have five kids that love animals, and we homeschool, so we are home most days to love on your pet. My two oldest love taking care of animals, and they have plenty of time on their hands for drop-ins or dog walking. I will always be there with them, but they are totally willing to do it, and if they aren't available, I'll gladly take care of it. We are home most of the time, with a couple days leaving for a few hours, so the dogs will get lots of free time to chill on the dog bed or at our feet. When we are gone though, the dogs will be kenneled alongside our pooches in their own comfy crate. During the summer, our dogs will hang out with us on the deck or get attached to a lead while we garden or run around. During rain or snow though, your pet will get a daily walk (or more) and time to play in the side yard! We have a fenced yard and plenty of room for your dog to lounge comfortably around our house. Typically we exercise our dogs once a day, but we are totally willing to accommodate. They get fed twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, although sometimes they'll sneak a little food out of us. At night, your dog will most likely be kenneled in our basement. We ask that you bring your own kennel. We don't make many exceptions, and none for young dogs. Our kids absolutely love animals, so your pet will get all the love they could every need, with lots of hugs and kisses. If that's not what your dog is into to, our kids will totally understand that and will give your dog the space they need!
