Dog Walking Field

“Nick is always awesome, but he has been especially helpful over the last 5 weeks as my hubbie recovered from surgery and we needed extra help. 10 out of 10!”

About: I absolutely love cats and dogs of all kinds. My passion for felines and pups comes from personal experience caring for my own pets and family and friends pets. I adopted my beloved kitty, Bella, when she was just a tiny kitten, and I lovingly cared for her for 17 years until her passing at the end of 2025. I miss her and the unique connection I share with cats, which is why I became a sitter—to bring that same level of care to other pet families. Through caring for Bella into her senior years, I became highly experienced in senior cat care. I understand that older kitties require a gentler touch, a calm environment, and extra patience. I am fully comfortable and experienced with administering oral and transdermal medications, ensuring your pet maintains their health routine seamlessly while you are away. I recently entered early retirement. This means I have a very flexible schedule, and can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. I will provide them with plenty of dedicated attention, playtime, and love! I have a lot of flexibility and plenty of open time throughout the day. I can easily adapt my daily routine around your pet’s specific feeding times, medication windows, and need for company. During my visits, I focus on attentive care, safety, and just spending time together. I treat your home with total respect. I strictly follow instructions for feeding and prompt medication delivery. I spend the rest of the visit providing companionship, keeping the litter box clean, the water bowl refreshed, and giving gentle head scratches.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Henley is a very perceptive and sensitive dog who knows when he’s in the company of a real animal lover. Avita fits that bill perfectly. From the very start, he was happy and relaxed with her.🐶🐾💕 I highly recommend Avita!”

“Nyree is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of our baby and is always reliable and thoughtful. She makes sure our pup gets a good walk in and sends a helpful update afterward, which we really appreciate. We trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”

About: I’m an experienced pet lover with a calm, nurturing presence and a deep respect for animals. I share my life with Bernie, my red standard poodle, who’s part social butterfly, part therapy dog, and 100% good boy. He’s taught me how important patience, consistency, and playfulness are when it comes to animal care. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and even boarding depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs medication, or just wants a cozy companion while you're away, I’m here to help. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible—especially during the summer months. I take pride in treating every pet like family, creating a safe and loving environment where they can relax and thrive. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels—and I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s unique personality. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I’d love to learn more about your furry friend and how I can support you both. Right now I have a flexible schedule, so I can plan my days around what your pet needswhether it’s a morning stroll, a midday check-in, or overnight company. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family member, and I don’t take that lightly. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take caring for pets seriously, whether I’m coming to your home or possibly hosting. I currently focus on walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, where your pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. At home, I live with my red standard poodle, Bernie. He’s great with other dogs, but since I have a small one-bedroom apartment, I only consider boarding calm, dog-friendly pets on a case-by-case basis. I'm happy to talk it through and see if it’s a good fit!

About: I am a flight attendant with a bachelor’s degree in Animal science! So connecting with people and pets are my niche! Fur babies are welcomed! I can pick up trips to give me the most flexibility with my work schedule. I can do pop-ins as well as overnights if needed! I have experience working with cats and dogs at emergency hospitals and smaller veterinary clinics. I also have a indoor super sweet cat named snowbell.

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

“Big fans!! I was looking for someone to help me walk my dog, Cadbury, during the week. They’ve taken her on two walks and she’s already obsessed. It’s a huge relief to have a backup walker, and Cadbury is very appreciative of the extra attention. Kaija and Chris a great communicators and very attentive to the dog’s needs. I’m looking forward to working with them for a long time!”

“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”

“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.”

Richard L.

“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.”

Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or your cat prefers a cozy lap, I’ll keep them happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m friendly, reliable, and flexible, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Treats, cuddles, and gentle care are always included! References are available as well. Let’s make sure your pets get the care (and love!) they deserve. Can’t wait to meet them! 🐶🐱 I’m a homemaker right now so my hours are very flexible! I can take last minute appointments anytime to accommodate you and your pups or kitties needs! Unfortunately I can’t care for your pets in my home, although I would love to my cats wouldn’t appreciate it 😂. I am available for walks throughout the day or drop in visits/playtimes also!

“Ben was absolutely fantastic! He walked our 150lbs Great Dane, Walt while we were out of town. We got detailed notes everyday which put us at ease. We’d gladly have Ben back to walk our dog! (Walt also loved Ben and gave him lots of cuddles & licks!)”

About: Hi! My name is Phouthavone, but I go by Kat! 🐾 I’ve been around and cared for dogs my entire life. I currently have a 7-year-old rescue dog who’s been part of my family for five years, as well as a 2-year-old cat—so I’m very familiar with caring for both dogs and cats and all their different personalities! Both of my fur babies have sensitive stomachs, so I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, dietary restrictions, and routines carefully. I’ll make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and well-fed while they’re in my care. I also have previous experience as a human caregiver, which has taught me a lot of skills that transfer naturally into pet care—patience, attentiveness, responsibility, following routines, and making sure the person (or pet!) in my care is comfortable and safe. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. Whether they want playtime, walks, company, or just lots and lots of cuddles, I’m happy to give them all the attention they need. 🐶🐱💕 I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies! I’m available throughout the week and can work around different feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing with them or just keeping them company and giving them lots of cuddles. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’ll always follow any instructions you leave for me. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medications, walks, and anything else your pet may need. I also have a dog and cat of my own, so I know how nerve-racking it can be trusting someone else with your babies! I’ll treat them like I would want someone to treat mine and keep you updated while you’re away.

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.

“Thanks for the great walks!”

About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it

“Sam is great! Very flexible and easy communication for coordinating walks. She made the most out of the 30-minute walks with my dog Beau. I super appreciate that as it's his only exercise right now, and he can be pokey. He was delighted to see her each day and came back every time in a better mood :)”

“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!”

“Jay was great! We will definitely request him again to walk Lucy😊. She’s a stubborn gal and a couple other walkers struggled to get her going- he walked a full 2 miles with her! Thank you again!!”
