Dog Walking Falcon Heights

About: I've owned a dog and/or a cat since I left college and once had 3 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children under age 6 in the same house! I worked for a pet sitting business in Virginia for two years and love to observe animals and get to know to know them on their terms. Experience matters with pets and I have that, combined with great communication and common sense. I'm the person you want watching your furry friends when you can't be there. I'm also a photography lover and I'm happy to work to get some good shots of your animals while taking care of them. I'm a semi-retired journalist who often works remotely, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. With my kids in college, my nest is empty except for my Pueto Rican chihuahua mix, Nina. We walk two or three times a day when the weather and my schedule permits. I'll care for your pets as if they were mine. I've owned multiple cats and dogs, from 8 pounds up to 90. If you have the patience and experience, almost every animal will give you clues on how they want to be treated.

“Robert is absolutely amazing! It has made a huge difference in me and my dogs lives and training. I am super busy, but he is great with working around my schedule and leaving detailed reviews/updates for me to review later. I have a hard time trusting people with my baby but his incredible growth has helped me immensely.”

“Sophie has been an extremely reliable dog walker for our pup over the past 5 months! She was great at managing his high energy levels and figuring out a play/walk routine that worked well for them both. We are very grateful for her services!”

“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”

“Katelyn does a wonderful job with my somewhat reactive dog. She’s communicative and friendly and knowledgeable about dog behavior. Roo says thanks Katelyn!”

“It was a busy month and my schedule shifted a few times. Communication with Cindy is always clear and fast, and she was kind enough to adapt to my schedule each time I asked for a change. Am recommending Cindy to everyone I meet! Eli loves her and is happy and relaxed when I get home after a long day.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 14 and have had two dogs of my own since I was 7. I absolutely love spending time with dogs—walking, playing, and making sure they feel happy, healthy, and safe. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is in caring and loving hands! 🐶❤️ I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I’m a college student looking to make some extra money while doing something I truly enjoy. Weekends work best for me, but I’m pretty flexible and will do my best to work around your schedule! I’m reliable, respectful, and will treat your home with the same care and respect I would give my own. I’m happy to follow any and all preferences or instructions you have to make sure you and your pup feel comfortable! 🐾

“Gretchen is the best! She accommodates our last minute requests, is flexible with our schedule and takes such good care of our dog, Ruby. Ruby is very high energy and she always comes back tired and happy from her walks with Gretchen. She loves loves loves her time with Gretchen and our lives have become simpler knowing we have a great option to come be with Ruby.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. Whether it’s administering medications, deep-cleaning litter boxes, or taking them on long walks I am currently working mornings and evenings so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to play with your pet and taking long walks. I’ve done house sitting at others home and have respected all of their wishes with their pet and their home. It is better for pets to stay in their home so they are comfortable.

“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

“Was worries at first that my boy Bear was barking so much but Phenix got him calm and had a good walk with him! Bear can't wait to see them again 💕”

“Phoebe has a 6th sense about what dogs need I think. She was terrific with our bashful Abby, being able to adapt to Abby only wanting to take a short walk and instead spending the rest of the walk time giving Abby extra love and belly rubs. We will definitely will call on Phoebe again!”

“Emily took great care of our dogs! She was on time for our meet and greet and made sure she got to know both Pete and Rosie. When she came to walk the dogs, she was able to get Rosie outside and down the road (which is a big accomplishment with a timid, blind dog)! We definitely would recommend Emily.”

About: Hi my name is Zoe! I live in Golden Valley and work as a nanny. I love animals and feel like they make life more fun. A bit about my experience with pets and animals is that I grew up in a pet household. I had a cat growing up and then eventually two dogs. I would help change cat litter, take dogs out on walks and play with them. I respect an animals space and if they want to be around me. I am firm when dogs don’t listen but not yelling at them. I love pet sitting, taking dogs on walks and just hanging out with them playing catch or tug of war. I’m a reliable person and have my own mode of transportation. I don’t have any pets at home but would love to hang with yours when you have other responsibilities and priorities. Please reach out and we can chat and do a meet up to see if it’s a right fit for both of us! Right now my schedule is semi open. I can adjust my schedule for pet care and other errands. Just let me know in advance. Just ask me questions. I will not offer my home up. However I will make sure that at your property keeping careful watch out of safety and the surrounding environment.
