Dog Walking Ericsson

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. I currently specialize in pets with special needs: 🦴 Seniors 🦴 Deaf/blind 🦴 Rescues/Trauma informed care 🦴 Medication administration Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority. I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.

“Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.”

“Mari is excellent. She is sweet with our dog, very prompt with messages, and our dog was noticeably calmer after walking with Mari.”

“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”

About: Hello pet parents of Minneapolis! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to offer you top-notch pet sitting services. With a profound love for dogs, I provide personalized care that ensures your furry friend is not just looked after but truly pampered. Whether you need assistance with dog walking or drop in (looking to board after my first month on here), I have the experience and dedication to handle it all. Each walk is filled with fun and exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. When it comes to check ins, being gentle and respectful of their space and needs is my top priority. As a pet sitter, I offer a safe and loving environment while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is in capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog and understands their needs, please feel free to message me. I am eager to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a flexible work schedule that does need me to travel sometimes for overnights. No traveling would occur during boarding. My dog of 5 years passed away earlier this year and I am looking for an outlet to scratch the pet-itch. We often did morning, afternoon, and evening walks. He was a reactive dog that was kid and dog aggressive, so we implement positive reinforcement training to successfully reduce reactivity. Caring for our furry friends means more than just taking them out for walks and feeding them. It is a time to connect and understand their needs. I’ll never push a dog to like me by petting them when they aren’t ready. I have an understanding of dog body language that I pay attention to. Play is one of my favorite ways to connect with animals - each one will have a different play style that I’ll be attuned to.

“Great First Experience with Rover I used Rover for the first time to find a last-minute dog walker, and it was a fantastic experience. My walker was super communicative, accommodating, and made the process stress-free. I got updates, photos, and a happy pup at the end. Highly recommend and will use again!”

“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”

About: I’ve never known life without animals. Growing up in what our neighbors called the “Dr. Doolittle house” meant there was always a furry friend (or a few!) to care for. It taught me that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized care. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return 😊 Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work from home most days, and when I do go into the office, it’s typically only for a few hours. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to consistent schedule of walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the same reliable care and sticks to their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is different so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while sticking as closely as possible to their normal schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

“He has walked my dog multiple times and has done an amazing job! He was super flexible the whole time and was able to adjust the walk time every time I had a change in schedule. He was also super good about communicating (running early, running a little late, etc.) and took multiple really cute pictures of my pup every time Jarrett walked him. My pup also seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again!”

“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”

“Marit clearly is a dog person! My dogs were so happy and I really appreciated her communication and feedback. Will definitely reach out to Marit again!”

Marya S.

“Bailey was so wonderful to work with. She helped us out in a jam, covering walks for our dog when our dog walker was out of town for an extended period. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. She was very patient with our dog who is definitely a handful.”

About: Hi, my name is Katie. I am an experienced pet sitter, and I love giving all my clients extra love and attention, just like my own family's dog. I grew up with shelties. While I don't have any pets of my own right now, I just graduated from a master's program and have lots of love to give your furry friends. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and have a special place in my heart for senior pets. Those I’ve dog sat for before describe me as warm, an excellent communicator who gives great peace of mind while they’re away. I am happy to pop by your home for an evening or weekend walk with your furry friend, or we can schedule an overnight stay. I am very attentive to my client's needs and remain attentive to my surroundings. When I'm out walking with a dog and I see another dog, I make sure to steer the dogs away from one another, even crossing the street if needed. I will check to make sure they have enough water before I leave and that all the doors are locked.

About: I’m a life long pet lover. Cats have always had my heart, but I grew up with big dogs, so am more than willing to meet your gentle giant! Ideally I can do home visits three times a day, in the morning, early evening and late evenings! However, my schedule is flexible and am open to discussing other times! I do not have the ability to take your pet into my home, but I will come to yours! I will treat your pet with care, I understand it can be scary for them to meet new people. I will also treat your space with the upmost respect and can tidy up pet related messes if need be. (Litter boxes, etc)

About: I've cared for two dogs as I grew up, and look forward to caring for more. I have done many long walks and dog park hiking with my golden doodle, and have also done some training as well. I know how to take care of puppies and adult dogs, but would love to learn how to take care of special needs and senior dogs. Dogs, like mine, are energetic and need lots of exercise, so I am always willing to play or exercise with dogs. Over the summer (June-August), I am free most afternoons and some evenings the whole week. During the school year, (September-May) I am more available during the weekends, but still free during some afternoon/evenings during the week, which I'll update as I get my schedule. At home, I care for my dog by giving him plenty of snuggles, but also getting up and playing with him when he lets me know he wants to play. I am alert and can sense what my dog may need, such as going potty, playing, or eating. When walking/going to the dog park, I watch over my dog at all times, and walk along with him. During walks, I make sure that he is safe to walk and sniff the whole time. At dog parks, I encourage him to meet other dogs and run around while still being present. I notice when my dog gets tired or needs water, and I am prepared by bringing a water bottle.

About: I have been caring for pets at their home for a number of years, I feel they are more comfortable and less stressed when their parents are away. During those visits the animals get walks a minimum of 3 times and played with as much as they want.for cats there's playtime and lap time if they choose as much as they want. If we go out I go with them, there is to much dog napping going on to leave them unattended. I am totally focused on your four legged family member during my stay. Your house also is looked after, mail picked up, plants watered, I leave the bed changed and ready for your next visitor. The best things are furry.i like walks and doing drop ins also. I will be doing animal care only after may 8th 2026. I now work .56 a pay period. I usually take the dogs for a morning walk, afternoon walk and another before we go to bed. I want to try and keep the same routine for the animal that there parents to the best of my ability, it tends to keep the animals more tranquil and happy, attention as they like. I'm a cuddler, so the more the better.

“Jessica is a wonderful dog walker! Our pups are excited to see her every time she comes. She even goes above and beyond and occasionally brings our packages inside when she comes by. We recommend her services highly!”
