Dog Walkers in Grant, MN

About: We’ve owned and cared for dogs and various other animals for most of our lives and have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends over the years. We have experience with basic obedience and agility training and dogs of all sizes and ages. When it comes to dogs, we’ve owned Cocker Spaniels, English Pointers, and Labs. I work from home with a flexible weekday schedule, and while we have family activities some evenings and weekends, one of us is typically home. We currently own one English Pointer who enjoys having other dogs around. She loves to run and play outdoors and being a couch potato indoors. Our home sits on 5 acres, with plans for a large one acre fenced yard by May 2026. This gives dogs plenty of safe space to explore, play, and burn off energy. With a flexible, work from home schedule, we can easily adapt to your dog’s routine and needs, and your dog will enjoy consistent attention, playtime, and a loving environment. Our home includes four school age children who are always eager to snuggle, play, or help with meals and treats. Your dog won’t just be watched here- they’ll truly become part of our family.

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

“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: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.

“Rylan is awesome! She really loves animals and it’s very apparent just talking with her! She is a highly recommended walker or for other services!”

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

“Martha was available on short notice and has done a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She is always, prompt and responsive and has become our got to dog walker!”

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 16 years and recently experienced the loss of my beloved dachshund, which inspired me to continue sharing my love and care with dogs. I enjoy helping neighbors with pet care, taking dogs on walks, and spending quality time with a furry friend. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and available for overnight stays to help provide peace of mind and consistent care. I'm currently working Full time in a Hybrid remote position. I'm available for House Sitting Thursday-Sunday, with the flexibility of a work from home environment for added companionship and care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routines, providing attention, exercise, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I prioritize trust and communication by following all care instructions carefully, keeping homes clean and secure, and providing updates to owners for peace of mind.

“Thank you for being so amazing to Jedi!”

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

“Jeff was great. He came over for a meet and great prior to our trip to meet Bailey. He was super personable and friendly. Would definitely use him for walks again. Thanks so much!”

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.

“We came home to a very happy pup! Loved seeing the photos of Piper during the walk!”

“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.

About: I grew up fostering dogs and have experience with up to 6 dogs in a household. I have experience with a wide range of sizes and age from 17 year old chihuahuas to 4 month old pitbulls. I also have experience with medically complex dogs including epilepsy, heart disease, extreme anxiety and more. I am very flexible and accommodating schedule wise. I am available on all weekdays and willing to stop by during the day. I am up early and willing to stay late if needed I am neat and tidy in a home and attentive to the animals. When walking dogs I am careful to stay away from other dogs and to keep a short leash.

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 have had dogs my whole life. I've taken them through multiple levels of training including therapy dog training. I am a Registered Nurse working part time and I'd love to spend my extra time taking care of your much-loved pet! I currently work part time, which leaves me available for dog walks or drop-ins in the afternoon, boarding is available during the week, though I will be out of the house Mon-Fri 9:00 am-1:30 pm I have a large yard with no fence. We have a walking trail available at the end of our driveway where I can walk your dog when they stay at my house. I have one 2+yr old Labrador and one 8 yr-old boy. My dog is dog/cat friendly.

“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful - treats my dog as if she were her own. My dog loves her daily walk with Carolyn. I especially appreciate how she takes into consideration the age and special needs of my dog. Thank you for everything Carolyn!!!”
