Dog Walkers in Girard, MN

About: People have always come to me when they need someone to watch their pets. It’s something I enjoy & I am good at it. 😻 I am currently not working so am readily available even holidays & weekends are no trouble. I do have children that may attend at times. If I am walking your dog we may go to the park or for a drive. Kitties I will feed, scoop, pet/play a lil while.

About: I have lived with animals almost my entire life. These animals consisted of several dogs and cats, a rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla, hamster, hedgehog, bearded dragon, some fish, a miniature horse, goats, hens and roosters, peafowl, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Oh my! Since August of 2022, I have been house and pet-sitting full-time in nine different states across the US, looking after over 60 homes with a combined total of upwards of 30+ cats and 30+ dogs. Many of these homes also had houseplants and gardens that needed looking after, and I have experience with growing plants from studying horticulture in college (not a single plant has died under my care yet, fingers crossed). I am newer to the Rover platform but can demonstrate my experience to homeowners in interviews and meet-and-greets with pets. During my time pet and house-sitting around the US, I was often told by homeowners that I take excellent photos of their pets (see profile pics). I take pride in the level of care I provide to pets, including the cute photos I take of them. I can hardly take credit, though, as all of the pets I look after happen to be incredibly photogenic. ;) Although I’m no longer traveling full-time, I still like to keep my schedule relatively free to take on pet care because I love what I do. When I’m at a sit, pet care takes full priority of my time and energy and my entire routine revolves around making sure your pets get the care they need. I intentionally choose work that is flexible so that I can prioritize time with your pets. I have always been able to accommodate pets that cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. More often than not, I am present at the home during the entirety of the sit because the opportunity to watch over your pets is a welcomed and rewarding break from the constant movement and change that comes with the travel lifestyle I once had. More on my scheduling preferences and availability: - I am comfortable with longer stays (my longest sit so far has been longer than a month). - I love pet-sitting in rural areas and enjoy driving out from the city. My one condition is that the road to your home should be accessible by most cars and not require high clearance or four wheel drive. I don’t currently offer services in my home (yet). When I care for pets in their own home, I try to replicate their routine as closely as possible to what they are used to at home when their owners are present. I wake up at the same time homeowners do, feed pets at their usual time, and take them on walks when they would typically go out at home. That being said, because this is what I do for a living, I have so much more extra time to spend with pets. I’m often able to give pets more loving attention and care than they typically receive in a household where homeowners leave for work during the day. I’m extremely conscious of any potential hazards to pets that may be around the home and keep a clean environment. Homeowners always report their home being cleaner after they return than when they left it. Safety is a top priority of mine. Since I began house-sitting as a service to others, I have experienced situations where pet health was thrown into jeopardy and I was tested on my ability to respond calmly and effectively. During my first-ever house-sit for a client, I navigated a wildfire evacuation and prepared the property according to the homeowners’ instructions (no animals were harmed and no damage to the property). In an another house-sit on a rural farm, I encountered a possum attempting to steal one of the chickens from the coop and successfully secured the safety of the farm animals and caught and relocated the possum (no animals were injured). I understand that unexpected scenarios pop up and I’m proud to house-sit for pet owners knowing that they can rely on me and feel safe leaving their pets in my care. I usually send photo and message updates every other day for homeowners to see how their pets are doing, but I have adjusted this to more or less frequently depending on homeowner preference. Once during a sit, in addition to regular photo and text updates, I also accommodated frequent video calls for an owner to allow her to talk to her chihuahua while she was overseas. They both seemed to appreciate that very much. :)

About: I have taken care of all sorts of pets for many years, from fish and small animals up to giant dogs, horse and cows. I love to be around animals and have current Pet CPR / First Aid Certification. I am available every day to look after your pets. When any pet stays with me, they will live in my home and not be stuck in a kennel. Because of this I only take 1 pet, or pets from 1 family at a time when boarding. I live in the country in between Ada & Crookston, so have a lot of room. I have fenced in areas plus open fields and woodland trails. * I do not accept any bookings until we have completed a free meet & greet, either at your home or mine (depending on which service you require), so we can meet you and your pets and find out exactly what you require.

About: With a background as a CNA, I’m skilled in administering shots, medications, and specialized care, perfect for pets with medical needs. Growing up around animals, and with my mom married to a veterinarian, I’ve learned firsthand how to handle everything from wiggly puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. Plus, as a mom, I know that babies (human or furry) thrive on patience, love, and routine! Whether it’s cuddles, training, or medical care, your pet will be in gentle, capable hands. As a homeschooling mom, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide personalized care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily work around your pet’s routine. With experience caring for both little ones and animals, I know how to juggle responsibilities while making sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need. Plus, with my background in medical care, I’m comfortable handling any special needs your pet may have. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, snuggles, and structured playtime. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, following their usual routines to reduce stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure they feel secure while you’re away. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medication needs, and keep you updated with messages and photos. With my CNA background and experience around veterinary care, I’m comfortable handling pets of all ages, including those with medical or special needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m proud to say I carry full pet care insurance for added peace of mind. Whether it’s boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, you can trust they’ll be in loving, capable hands.

About: Hi, I’m Eddie! I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I know they’re not just animals — they’re family. Growing up with four or more pets at a time gave me experience with everything from puppy energy to training to caring for adult and senior pets. I’m comfortable following whatever routines, rules, or care instructions your pet needs to feel safe and happy. Whether that means sticking to their favorite walk, keeping up with playtime, or providing plenty of cuddles, I’ll treat your fur-baby like my own. I’m also experienced with both dogs and cats and can adapt to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, cared for, and completely at ease while you’re away. Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Even with classes starting soon, my schedule is very flexible. I’ll have gaps throughout the day and time after class to provide walks, feedings, and plenty of love to keep your pet happy and cared for. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special routines to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet — locking doors, keeping things tidy, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My focus is on safety, trust, and keeping tails wagging until you get back.
