Dog Walking East Calhoun

About: I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life, that's Stella, my 16 year old grand dame best girl in the photo with me. CATS: I've sat for my friend's cats, my daughter's cats and enjoy getting to know and love, oh and respect each cat's unique personality. I've cared for other senior cats, given I.V.'s and meds and lovingly helped kittens adjust to their new homes and their hooman's schedules. DOGS: I adore dogs and they love me! Enough said! I can't wait to meet your cat(s) and care for them in your home! I’m retired, so I have lots of available time to care for your fur-babies! I will feed, play, and snuggle with your cat or dog once or twice a day in your home as you and your pet prefer! After I've met you and your cat(s) or dog(s), and we've planned out your pet's schedule, I will visit your home and put fresh water and food in your cats' or dogs bowls, once or twice a day, walk your dog or scoop the litter box and dispose the waste outside your home, and most importantly, love on your most precious friend and have playtime, either once or twice a day, depending on you and your pet's needs.

“Aislinn was prompt to respond and came to help us quickly when we reached out. She was thoughtful and our dog enjoyed time with her very much. I would highly recommend and will use her services again. She was most polite and professional.”

“Charles has been absolutely amazing with our leash & stranger reactive dog Ollie. He has been patient and accommodating with us and now Ollie is excited to see him when they go on walks!”

“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!!!”

Julia C.

“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”

“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”

Jen J.

“Samantha made her way through the snow and ice to make sure to get my dog Mabel walked. She’s super reliable and makes sure my dog gets what she needs.”

Allison K.

“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”

Josh P.

“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.

“Vida seemed very happy and at least slightly tired (not an easy feat for an 8 month old vizsla!) when I got home. It looked like she had a good time with Laura, and I was happy that I was kept in the loop! We'll definitely be repeat customers.”

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.

“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Dafflyn has been great with Granger. She’s helped me during long work days and had great communication. I can tell when I get home that my pup has been well cared for. Highly suggest!”

About: Hello! I am Sage, a recent college graduate in town with family for the year. I have grown up with dogs and cats and have been pet sitting both since high school. **I really specialize in cat care and if you are looking for cat care I am your person! I love hanging out with your pets, going on long dog walks, playing fetch, playing with the wand or cuddling with cats. I cater to your pets needs, whether that be playing, walking, food, or special care. In my current residence I have 6 cats total and one loving Golden Retriever, so I already am constantly spending my time around animals, and caring for my family pets. I am so excited to meet and hang out with your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule currently, I am available most days for morning/afternoon/evening walks, and for cat care check ins. For overnight pet sitting I only do care in the Minneapolis area, and I am not available to bring your pet to my own home - I come to you! I offer house sitting, overnight dog sitting, dog walking and cat sitting services. For overnight pet sitting, I will also do any house care tasks needed- trash, watering plants, or any other requests depending on length of your leave. For dog walking, I cater to your pet! I can do long or short walks.

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has been a major part of my life since I was young. I attended summer camps through the Humane Society and the Minnesota Zoo, where I learned more about animal behavior, care, and enrichment from an early age. I’ve also always been surrounded by pets and have helped care for seven cats throughout my 20 years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, and recognizing when something seems off. In addition, I’ve been dog sitting, cat sitting, and dog walking since I was 10 years old, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I put as much patience and attention into every animal as I can. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs, energetic puppies, large breeds, and shy or nervous pets. I understand that every animal has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I always do my best to help them feel safe and secure while their owner is away. Whether that means sticking to a familiar routine, spending extra time playing, or simply offering a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while providing dependable care you can trust. I currently work part-time as a hostess, where I work four 5-hour shifts each week. Outside of those shifts, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for dog sitting, cat sitting, and dog walking. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible and would be able to ensure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. In my own home, my cats are indoor cats, but I also let them safely enjoy supervised outdoor time, because they love watching the birds and squirrels in the yard. It's one of their favorite parts of the day, and I love seeing how much happiness it brings them. I have experience walking dogs on leash and, when appropriate and with the owner's permission, in safe off-leash areas. I'm also comfortable letting dogs outside in both fenced and unfenced yards while always following their usual routine and your instructions. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I'm also experienced with crate training and safely transporting pets in carriers, and I'll always prioritize your pet's comfort, safety, and well-being as if they were my own.

“Need a companionate, patient, loving person to truly give the best care of your 4 legged family member when you can’t?!? This is your girl, I can promise you that. She is absolutely amazing in every way possible, always going above and beyond just because she likes too. I trust her with everything, and you should too :)”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, cats, small animals, and farm animals, so I am comfortable with many different routines! I currently have a cat, so I am unable to host pets in my home, but I am happy to spend plenty of time loving on your pet in your home! I am a graduate student at UMN, so I have lots of availability in the mornings and evenings to care for your pet. I am available anytime on the weekends! Meeting new people can be scary, I will work to build trust with your pet by following their routine and spending time doing what they love! If they want to play fetch for hours or just cuddle, then we will!
