About: I absolutely love working with animals! I started out volunteering at the SPCA where I got to cuddle and play with adorable cats and dogs. Since then, I've been lucky enough to care for all sorts of animals, including some sweet pups, cuddly kitties, and even some friendly pigs! Whether it's just stopping by for a quick visit, giving them medicine, or taking them for a walk, you can trust that I'll treat your furry (or not so furry!) friend with nothing but love and care. I have an extremely flexible schedule right now so I have time for any of your pets and their needs. I always try my best to be on time & as thorough as possible even if that means I have to spend more time to get everything done. In my clients home I am always respectful of house rules & what is going on with their pets. Always being attentive and observant of what is going on. While outside on walks it is exactly the same of where we are walking and who is around.

Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!

About: Pets have been part of my family for my whole life. Current animals in my home include Timber (a 8-year-old English Cream Retriever) and Cedar (a 6-year-old tuxedo cat who is comfortable with cat-friendly dogs). My 1/4 acre lot features a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and I am home almost all the time, so I can provide all the care and attention your pet needs. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work from home with a ton of flexibility. My schedule allows me the flexibility to give your pet all of the care they need. Your pet will receive constant care and attention with plenty of opportunity to play in my large, fenced yard. The interior of my family's home features plenty of space for your pet to relax comfortably, with room for crating if your pet needs. I have experience with pets who need medication (my own takes a twice daily medication) or special care. I would love to invite you to stop by for a meet-and-greet!

About: Hi! My name is Meredith, a devoted canine enthusiast and dedicated dog walker based near St.Paul, MN! With over ten years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes, I’m committed to giving your pup the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My dog Sven loves walks, and together we have dabbled in barn hunt and agility, as well as obedience classes. My 30-minute walks are tailored to your pup’s energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or an energetic jaunt. I prioritize safety, fun, and personalized care, ensuring your dog comes back happy and ready for a nap. As a reliable and trustworthy walker, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes from our walks. Book with me today! Starting August 11th I go back to school so my schedule will be different. I do not start work until mid morning so I like to do a morning walk and another after dinner if the weather is nice. I have a fenced-in yard and two smaller, friendly dogs that love to play. When the weather allows, there are great areas to walk dogs in my neighborhood.

About: Our family had a yellow lab for 15 years and now a golden retriever. We love dogs and enjoy playing outside and taking long walks! We are a homeschooling family and have a lot of flexibility in our days. I love to be outside and walk everyday. I’d happily love to share a walk with your pup! I have a small fenced in section of yard. We live near lots of trails so we take our dog on long walks in nature.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for years. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’ve taken care of older pets in addition to giving eye drops and oral medication to cats and dogs. I have a cat at home so I am used to her routine and am easily able to fit your pet into my routine as well! I am willing and available to watch your pets. I do work second shift during the week but very available on the weekends. I have an upstairs and basement with plenty of room for our cat, Raven to run and play. She loves to lay on my yoga mat I have out in the living room. We have her litter box in the basement and plenty of toys for her.

About: I’ve been walking and running my own dogs for years. Decided it would be a nice part time job for me. I have recently moved from south Mpls to White Bear Lake and would love to add a pup or two to my weekly walks/jogs. I'm semi retired and have plenty of time this summer to walk your pup(s). I like to jog too so if your dog is more energetic I can do that as well. I have two dogs of my own. I am no longer living in my home so miss walking/running my pups. I have a fenced in yard and both my dogs are micro chipped.

About: Hi, I'm excited to get to know you and your pet! Here's a little about me: All my life I have been surrounded by animals of all sorts. For the last 10 years, I have dog sat regularly - check out all the pictures on my profile to see some of these cuties! From puppies to elder dogs to dogs with special needs, I’m capable of giving every dog the time and love he/she craves. Whether your dog is energetic or likes to lounge around, I have the range to accommodate any of your animals wants and needs. Since I have been around animals my whole life - this is also why I foster for Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue part time! Not only will I be helping you and your animal out, they’ll really be helping me! I’ve had the opportunity to watch a variety of young kittens and puppies, elder cats and dogs, dogs who are blind/deaf, a cat who require me to give them fluids injected, and even a 3-legged dog. These past experiences have made me very comfortable with any type of dog or cat I care for. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have a flexible career that allows me to be out in the field rather than tied to a desk all day, which gives me the ability to stop home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and extra attention. I also have my own dog, so daily walks, exercise, and quality time with pets are a priority in my household. With a park just one block away, dogs in my care have easy access to outdoor enrichment and exercise. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention and companionship throughout the day, helping pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away! I care for pets either in my home or in the client’s home depending on the service. In my home, I offer boarding in a safe, calm environment with my 5-year-old black Labrador, who is friendly and well-socialized. With my flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent drop-in visits, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, let out as needed, and given attention so their routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible. I always follow owner instructions closely and prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety.

About: I’ve grown up with pets so I know how important their care is and how unique every animals needs are. I have experience with many different types of dogs (Saint Bernard, Great Dane, German Shepard, corgi, collie, pit bull, bulldog, etc). I’ve had cats all my life of different temperaments so I know how to respect their boundaries and keep them happy. My family’s had rabbits, fish, chinchillas, lizards. I just moved up to white bear lake and don’t have main job yet so my schedule is free. I can show up whenever I’m needed. I treat every animal uniquely because I know not all of them are the same. I respect their boundaries and will personalize my care to them. If an animal is shy I will not try to force them to interact with me. If an animal has a lot of energy I like to play with them to give them stimulus and tire them out.

About: I have years of dog sitting and walking experience. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, including pups who may be a little feisty on a leash. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or full house sitting/boarding, I treat every dog like my own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them great care while you’re away! Feel free to message me with any questions. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and head into the office Tuesday through Thursday. This gives me excellent flexibility for early morning walks before work, evening drop-ins or walks after the office, plus plenty of availability during the day on Mondays/Fridays, weekends, and overnights. I am happy to provide care for your pet based on your preferences. On leash walks, playing in your yard, staying at your home, etc.

I’m currently available every day, with the exception of Wednesdays and Sundays from 6 PM to 8 PM due to family commitments. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! The safety and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. I maintain clear communication with owners, offering regular updates and photos of your pet’s adventures. By understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs, I create a trusting bond. I approach every walk with care and attention, ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and excited to get out for their daily exercise.
