Dog Walking Forest Lake

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.

“Brandy goes above and beyond for us and our pup. Our pup is always so excited to see her, it’s the best days of his weeks. She treats him as if he’s her own and we are so thankful! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals, including cats and dogs. I’m also a CNA with 5 years of professional caregiving experience, so I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific care routines. I’ll treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and companionship. I’m active, dependable, and enjoy spending time outdoors, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s specific instructions and keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or needs and will keep owners updated with photos and messages while their pet is in my care.

About: My family has had dogs most of my life, and I had my first cat as a young adult. My animal approach starts with your family’s structure, and my enthusiasm for considerate and trustworthy pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of most ages from puppy through senior pups, and I’ve been around barn cats and kittens since my youth. I have had an indoor cat since he was a young kitten, and currently live with 3 adult cats that I’ve known as grown kitties. I have ample availability to prioritize your pets thanks to a flexible schedule. You don’t need to choose between career ambition and companion care, let me help your household thrive so you can grind without guilt! I’ve had experience with crating and free roaming for my dogs in the past, (My pups have since crossed over the rainbow bridge) and am open to what your home expectations are. The cats I live with now are accustomed to a routine schedule of feeding and interaction at their leisure, with snacks and playtime too.

“Emily was incredibly patient and caring for my two dogs. My boy can be a bit fussy and my girl is terminally ill. Emily always checked in and made sure that my requests were met and went above and beyond to make sure my little girl was ok. It was a great relief to have her help while I also had an extra dog in the house and to know the dogs were getting exercise and extra attention.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience and a lifetime of hands-on pet care. I spent over three years working in a dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I also worked as a pet store manager, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, care, and overall pet wellness. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior needing extra attention, I provide patient, personalized care tailored to them. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home most days, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I only go into the office one day per week, so I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most pets’ routines and needs. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and quality one-on-one attention into my day. Whether your pet prefers an active day or a quiet companion nearby, I can provide a comfortable and consistent environment while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and mental stimulation based on their individual needs and personality. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have so much love to give for your pet! I will take care of them like my own. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have a sweet spot for them! I work remotely so if need be I can come work at your place if I need to stay for awhile. I can also stop in at flexible times throughout the day and night when need be. I will cater to your pets environment, whether that is feeding them, walking them, playing with them or giving them plenty of pets and love and care!

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they stay happy, active, and well cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing fetch, getting plenty of exercise, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and comfortable while you're away. I'm dependable and will make sure your dog's basic needs are always met, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love. I understand how important it is to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I'll treat your dog like they're my own and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident they're having a great time while you're away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I take my own dog on walks, make time for play and exercise, and ensure she has everything she needs each day. Adding more walks and spending time caring for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh water, meals if needed, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection.
