Dog Walkers in Grand Meadow, MN

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had them in my home growing up and now I have a dog of my own. I also had smaller pets such as hamsters and gerbils as well as fish and hermit crabs. I love going for walks with pets or even spending time with them in your home so they feel comfortable. I work full time for the Rochester Public Schools as a Mental Health Practitioner, so I have summers off. My availability during the school year is weekdays I am available 4pm and after, and weekends I am wide open. Summertime I am available and free to fit you and your pet’s needs. I know how it feels to have something pop up last minute and have to stress on what to do with your pet, so I am more than happy to work with you on such short notice. Currently only accepting requests within the Kasson, Byron, Hayfield, Dodge Center area due to my kid’s daily schedules. I have two sweet boys, along with a cat. I know how different each dog’s personality and needs are, so I am happy to work with their routine and their comfort level. I like to make sure that there is as much normalcy for them as possible.

About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature! I currently work a part time job and want to see where rover takes me. I'm available most days of the week any time of day mostly. However there may be a few days I'm only available for part of the day. I have 2 dogs one is 14lb and the other 22lbs. They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during a stay if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

“Was patient while I talked about Finn, showed up on time and gave Finn lots of pets and love!”

“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and I currently have a 7 year old, large breed dog. He comes with his own health related needs, including abnormal development of his hips and arthritis. This has allowed me to learn how to handle and care for dogs with similar issues, as well as be cautious and considerate of the needs of the animals I care for. I am able to follow special instructions and make sure I’m giving your pet the care they deserve. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter for several years, providing mostly socialization and walking of the pets. I work limited hours during the summer months, but typically am working 7:30-4:00pm during the end of August-May. With most of my summers off, I am looking to spend additional time during the day to play and care for your pet(s)! I have a Great Dane/mastiff mix and he is my whole world! He has high standards for his care and knows it too. I will treat your pet just like I’d treat my own. I will do my best to make your pet feel comfortable and happy during their time with me!

About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.

“Alyssa walked my dog Hazel and was great! Always showed up on time and my dog instantly like her. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have had pets my entire life and and continue to. I have watched pets for people for over 5 years and love and enjoy my time with all the different personalities and breeds. Patience and kindness always. I work with all of my clients to be sure your pets needs are being met and that you feel 100% that your fur-baby is being well cared for. I treat every pet as if they are my own. Giving them a reason to be excited when they see you. I will brush your pets upon request and sit on the floor to hang out on a more casual basis. Just take the time so they don’t feel alone while you are away. Mini vacation for them as well.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as family, friends’, and neighbors’ pets for most of my life. People have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and make sure their pets are taken out on time, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I know how special every fur baby is because I have one of my own, and I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and respect I give mine. Although I live in an apartment, I have access to multiple walking trails nearby along with several dog parks in the area, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. Your dog will also have one friendly playmate, my dog Izzy, to keep them company and help create a fun, comfortable experience. I will be spending more time at home while I am going though nursing school. Pet care is a fun job that will fit perfectly with my lifestyle. I have a very clean home considering I have a German Shepard! It’s very important to me that the hair or messes dogs make is also taken care of by me because that is part of a responsibility of a pet care taker.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have a lifelong love for animals. Over the years I’ve gained experience caring for many different pets, including helping take care of my sister’s three German Shepherds as well as watching friends’ cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and always make their comfort and safety a priority. I run my own business so can make my own schedule to meet with my customers schedules as well. Very flexible on my days and times for stopping by your house. Can let the dogs out inside your fenced in area and sit outside until they come in. Can also do the same if they go on leash or chain around the yard. Will sit outside until it's time to go back in the house.

About: I’ve had dogs consistently in my house since I was born. We have had big german shorthairs, as well as miniature schnauzers so I’m accommodating to any size dog, and can easily take care of them. I’ve just returned from school abroad and am back looking for a full-time job but in the meanwhile will be petsitting/walking/etc. whenever is asked of me. I have a pretty free schedule, so most any booking should work. I would be super considerate of any rules applied by the owners whether in the clients home or mine. I just have a lot of fun bonding and playing with animals, so I’m happy to perform all pet care servcies.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages. I have hands-on experience with puppies who need structure and patience, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication, and a gentle touch. Whether it’s going for long walks, playtime, or just providing comfort and companionship, I genuinely love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and happy. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
