Dog Walking Edina

“Carla is just the best! She’s so helpful, especially when I’m out of town, and I just really appreciate her coming to walk my doggos! They just love her!”

About: Hi, I'm Caitlin! Being a pet parent is special, and I genuinely understand what it means to trust someone with your pet. I lost my 15-year-old dog last year, and that kind of loss changes how you see pet care, and it's exactly why I take this seriously. Every animal in my home gets real attention, a consistent routine, and the kind of care I'd want for my own. My home is a calm, adults-only environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure safe outdoor time, and my neighborhood is a quiet tucked away pocket near Cedar Lake. While I try to board pets only from the same home, there can at times be exceptions (mostly holidays). While my main living area is on one level, there are stairs required to get into the home via the front door. I also welcome & love cats. I've been fostering through Pet Haven for over a year, so I understand what a cat actually needs in a new space (spoiler: it's not just food and good vibes), and how to introduce pets to a decompression space and other pets they are not familiar with. I keep my roster intentionally small so I can give every animal genuine attention, not assembly-line pet care. You'll get photos and updates throughout, so you can actually enjoy your time away. If you want someone who treats your pets the way you would, please send me a message! I'm currently in between jobs, which means I have maximum flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I only confirm stays I can genuinely support. I build the routine around the pet to the best of my ability. I'll ask you what your animal's schedule looks like at home and do my best to mirror it. I know consistency matters! I treat communication as part of the service. You won't wonder how your pet is doing. At my home: As often as possible I try to start every stay with a meet-and-greet so your pet arrives already familiar with the space and with me. I'll ask you in advance about their routine (feeding schedule, walk preferences, any quirks or triggers) and I follow it to the best of my ability. My home is calm, adults-only, and has a fully fenced yard for dogs. For cats, I set up a dedicated decompression space so they can settle in at their own pace. I typically do not take overlapping bookings unless the pets are from the same household, but there are sometimes exceptions. At your home: I follow whatever directions you leave. I'll send photo updates so you know things are normal, and I'll flag anything that seems off rather than wait until you're home. For cats especially, in-home sitting is often the lower-stress option, and after a year of fostering, I know how to read a cat who's fine versus one who isn't.

“Kiah has been a great weekly dog walker. We liked having a meet-and-greet prior to booking. She has great communication and accommodates for our preferences (ie: gentle leader, dog shoes, etc). We would highly recommend her services!”

About: I've been dog sitting for the last 10 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with three dogs, a Standard Poodle and two Mini Goldendoodles, so I'm very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through years of pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, I've learned how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine while giving them plenty of love and attention. I have a pretty open availability at the moment so I can help let you dogs out/walk them anytime! So excited to meet your pups! Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your furry family member with the same love and care I would give my own.

“Shannon did a great job with walking our dog, Keba. Keba was so excited to meet her! Although Keba was initially hesitant to walk away from the house with her, Shannon gave her a few of our dog treats and Keba happily walked along. The picture Shannon sent with Keba’s huge smile on her face says it all. I highly recommend Shannon for dog walking and connecting with your pup. We’ll definitely have Shannon walk Keba again.”

Heidi P.

“Megan was great! Accommodated changes in schedule and a few hiccups with dog equipment. Dogs loved her and she loved the dogs! It was wonderful to not worry about our dogs while on vacation!”

Laura T.

“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, or relaxing on the couch, I’m happy to provide the care they’re most comfortable with. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel at ease while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of flexibility to hang with the pups! My schedule is pretty all over the place so depending on the day I can adjust my schedule. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am very much a dog lover! I am comfortable doing whatever to help meet the needs of the dog and owner.

“Gabby was great! Thank you so much for your persistence and success with our feisty corgi.”

About: The Best Part of Both Our Days After 20+ years in the corporate design leadership world, I am soft retiring and putting my reliability, commitment and energy into helping others and bringing happiness to their pets. With 10 years of dog walking and pet sitting experience, I don’t just show up. I show up for your dog, on their terms. Every dog is different, and I believe in honoring that. Whether your pup likes to stop and sniff every inch of the sidewalk or prefers a brisk, energetic stride, I walk at their pace because a great walk isn’t about the distance, it’s about the experience. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time, making sure every single one enjoys their walk, gets the attention they deserve and takes care of their business. From the energy of a curious puppy to the gentle needs of a senior dog, I understand that every stage of life comes with its own needs and I embrace all of them with patience and care. But it doesn’t stop at the leash. I genuinely love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s a relaxed afternoon cuddle on the couch or an enthusiastic play session with their favorite toys. I take the time to learn what makes each dog feel happy, safe, and loved. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a dog walker or pet sitter. You’re giving your dog their favorite part of the day and honestly, mine too. What I offer: •🐾 Dog Walking at your dog’s pace, never rushed •🏠 Pet Sitting calm, attentive and home-like •🎾 Playtime & Chill Visits toys, attention and all the love •🐶 Puppy & Senior Care patient, experienced and always attentive Your pet is family. I’ll treat them that way! I work a flexible part time schedule three days a week, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m happy to work around your routine and adjust my schedule to meet your dog’s needs because your peace of mind matters just as much as their happiness. Whether your dog is most comfortable in their own home or joining me at mine, they will always receive the same attentive, personalized care. At my place, they are welcomed into a calm, quiet home with a fully fenced yard and a friendly 5 year old 25lb Australian Labradoodle who loves making new friends. Your dog’s comfort and happiness always comes first, wherever that may be.

“Paul picked up Abby right on time, and reported that her walk and play time with Nessie went splendidly. The pictures were a great addition. We schedule a redo this week.”

About: I grew up with dogs, I own two dogs of my own, and I love caring for dogs. Will make sure your animals are well cared for when you’re gone because that’s what I want for my puppies too 🤍 I work full time but have a fairly flexible schedule. Could stay during the week, but may need to be gone during the day up to 8 hours for work. I will follow whatever care instructions and routine you have for your dogs to ensure they are safe and well cared for. I have a hyper active dog and a reactive dog so I understand the complexities dog routines can involve!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve breed fish, I’ve raised six puppies, I took care of three darling bearded dragons for a year, I work as a volunteer coordinator for the bond between, and I’ve even taken care of several dogs in hospice. I have genuinely loved animals all my life and cannot wait to spend the rest of my life, caring for and loving them so I hope you allow me to spend a little of my time caring for and loving your animals. I currently work part-time as a custom designer and actor as well as coordinating volunteer events for the bond between, so I have plenty of time to spend taking care of your lovely animals. A couple years ago I worked as an assistant dog trainer so I am very familiar with pet safety. I’ve also raised several puppies so I know how much they can get into stuff. I will always be keeping a careful watchful eye on any animals in the house as well as following any rules set in place by the owners and in case of any emergency, I’ve got a vet as a sister on speed dial.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine passion for animals combined with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior dog care, which means I’m not just here to watch over your dog I’m here to support their well-being at every stage of life. With puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement, helping them build confidence, learn basic commands, and feel safe in new environments. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to their comfort, health routines, and any mobility challenges they may have. I also prioritize clear communication with pet parents, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and detailed notes so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog like family—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I organize my days around making sure each dog in my care gets the attention, activity, and comfort they need—whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply quiet companionship. I set aside time every day for exercise, training, and one-on-one interaction to build trust and keep pets happy and mentally stimulated. On a weekly basis, I plan for grooming needs, restocking supplies, and adjusting routines to fit each pet’s personality and preferences. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where each animal feels comfortable and cared for. In My Home: I maintain a calm and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and preferred activities. I limit the number of pets I take at once to ensure personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere. In My Client’s Home: I respect your home as if it were my own and follow your pet’s established routine to keep them as relaxed and happy as possible. I make sure they’re well-fed, exercised, and emotionally cared for. I also keep the space clean, send regular updates, and can handle light home tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants if needed. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and reliability.

“Ally was GREAT! She was always on time and the dogs really loved her! I had a specific routine I wanted her to follow and it was no problem for Ally!”

About: As a pre-veterinary student, I’m especially attentive to animal behavior, routines, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities since I was very young, with working experience in both shelters and pet hospitals. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, my goal is always to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away! I'm working part-time this summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available most weekends and weekday afternoons/evenings for walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping your furry friend company until you’re back! I strive to be respectful of household routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other special instructions and/or medications your pet may need. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and as safe as possible in their own environment. I will provide your pet with lots of attention, playtime, and supervision while also keeping their space clean, calm, and organized. Building trust with both pets and owners is really important to me, so I prioritize communication and reliability during every visit.
