Dog Walking in Elliot Park, Minneapolis, MN

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. I have plenty of free time right now and 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.

“Brooke was awesome with our high energy dog! She made time for a meet and greet beforehand, asked great questions, and is very knowledgeable about dogs of different backgrounds and temperaments. She’s also very responsive and communicative. Our dog was very happy after her walk with Brooke!”

“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”

About: I grew up in a large house with my family, surrounded by all sorts of animals, including a small monkey and a couple of owls. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I plan my day ahead of time so that I can fit in everything I find important, including quality time with your pet friends. I take great pride in caring for pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in a familiar environment. Whether it's sticking to their usual routine, offering plenty of playtime, or simply giving them the attention and affection they crave, I make sure they receive the best care possible. By maintaining a consistent approach and respecting each pet's unique needs, I strive to create a safe and happy space where they can feel at ease while their owners are away.

“Alana did a wonderful job with Theo! Her communication was amazing and Theo was relaxed when we came home so I could tell he was well taken care of. His coat looked great too so I could see that she brushed him. I will definitely use Alana again.”

“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!”

“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”

About: I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, including pups over 70 pounds and also happy to walk multiple dogs or visit as often as needed. Your pets comfort and well-being are my top priority and I will always treat them as one of my own! I’m also confident with giving medications to animals. I’m currently working part-time at a hospital with a variable schedule, with my typical shift ranging from 7a-7p. I typically work 3-4 times a week so on my off days I would love to help out! In my clients home I make sure that your pets are happy and safe. I ensure each pet gets an appropriate amount of enrichment time whether that be walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I make sure to follow all entry/exit protocols and to clean up after myself to make sure your place is tidy.

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.
