Dog Walking East Bank-Nicollet Island

About: I grew up with dogs and have always adored and gotten along with them. Over the years I have pet-sat dogs and cats alike for friends and family, and I have two cats of my own. I enjoy long walks and making new dog friends, so you can be sure that your doggo will have an enthusiastic and caring play date! When petsitting in your home, I work hard to keep to your pet's schedule and keep them happy and comfortable. I am currently working very part time, so my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. I am definitely an early bird, so don't be afraid to send those morning requests my way :) I am attentive to all directions, routines, and special requirements given for each animal and activity. The safety and happiness of your pet, and your peace of mind, are my priority!

About: I grew up with dogs and love spending time with them. I’m excited to give your dog a safe space and play with them! I don’t currently have a pet of my own so I love dog sitting. Flexible during each day of the week and flexible during work hours as well. Please give notice when scheduling or canceling a time with me. I live in an apartment with a lot of green space and parks around. Plenty of dog friendly walking. I’m comfortable adjusting to your homes environment as well to ensure the dogs needs are met.

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. Rover is my full-time job, so I can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been involved in their care. In addition, I’ve had extensive experience training and fostering future service dogs from as young as 8 weeks old through 2 years old. Through this, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. I understand how important consistency and routine can be for dogs, so I’d love to learn about your dog’s specific schedule, habits, and needs to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away. I am currently working remotely from home Monday thru Friday 7:30 am to 4 pm. I have take a break for lunch around 12 pm. So, I will be available to stop by over lunch or in the afternoons. As well as, I will be available on select weekends. I am willing to follow you and your dogs routine while in your house during feeding and playtime. Safety is one of my priorities while watching your furry friend. I will treat the experience as I would want my own for to be treated.

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

“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: Worked with PAWS at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. My favorite thing in the world is hosting those angels in my residence. I’m currently taking summer classes but when im not in school i’m usually pretty free. I walk everyday in the morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that cats and dogs especially can get pretty uncomfortable with sudden changes to their routines and schedules.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up caring for two dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve also helped family, friends, and coworkers care for their pets, which has given me experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently working full-time, but my schedule ranges from mornings, mids, and nights. I am always down to care for your pet before and after work! Shoot me a message, and I will respond as soon as possible if I'm available! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive care, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention! I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and needs to help create a calm, stress-free environment while their owner is 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.”

About: Hi! I'm Brinn and I'm a Minnesota transplant, here from Michigan. I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animas my entire life. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time M-F but have a flexible schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or sitting during these times, and I’m often able to adjust my availability as needed. Please feel free to reach out for my exact hours — I’m flexible with both time and location and always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and follow your care instructions closely. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Jessica did a wonderful job walking our high energy dog, Isabella! She was available for a meet and greet beforehand, has been great to communicate with, and our dog was very happy after the walk. We look forward to having Jessica walk Isa again!”

About: My experience with dogs, goes back to when i adopted my little cockapoo Ralph who is now 11 years old. I understand the troubles pet parents go through when trying to find someone to take care of their dog when they are away, whether that be for work or on vacation. I have taken care of large and small dogs, making sure they are fed, watered and pottied. Not to mention the love and attention they receive when I am there. I understand the importance of keeping strong communication between the pet owner and me when I am with their dogs, so you will be in the constant know. I am available for drop in visits and spontaneous or planned walks with your dog. I love long walks and will make sure your dog has been well excercised while you are away!

About: I’ve petsit for neighbors and family since I can remember and we always had pets at home. I have taken care of puppy litters, German shepherds and even birds! I am in between jobs currently so I have a flexible and open schedule to be available for your fur babies when you can’t be. It’s so fun getting to know different personalities of our pets. I’m very patient and even shy dogs warm up to me quickly. I love showing love with cuddles and taking dogs on adventures.

“Curtis was great with my high energy husky mix! He arrived punctually for Toby’s walk and I could immediately tell Curtis had an affinity for animals- he was calm, attentive, and met Toby’s enthusiasm. Due to a scheduling error on my part, we had to reschedule Toby’s walk under short notice and Curtis responded quickly to my communications and was flexible with the adjustment. Toby was immediately comfortable with Curtis and I’d very happily have Curtis walk him again!”
