Dog Walking Hale

“We have had her walk our Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd twice now and we are totally impressed with her. We were nervous since she has never had anyone walk her before and she pretty scared of other people but she had no problem with Allison. I would recommend her to anyone!!!”

About: With a lifetime of caring for dogs of all shapes and personalities, I know how important trust is. I show up on time, follow routines closely, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m an early riser, so morning walks before my workday are one of my favorite ways to start the day. I also keep my weekends flexible and am available for morning and afternoon walks. This consistency helps me provide dependable, stress-free care for both you and your pup. When caring for pets, I follow your routines closely and keep things calm and consistent. I double check doors, gates, and leashes, and I pay close attention to each dogs body language with experience from Chihuahuas to great Danes, I know how to keep every pup, safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience and medical knowledge. I’ve been dogsitting for 7 years, volunteered at animal shelters on and off for the past 4 years, and worked at a dog boarding facility and as a doggy day care attendant for about 1 year. I currently work as a vet assistant at an emergency clinic with almost 2.5 years of veterinary experience. I’m trained to spot early signs of pain, stress, or illness, stay calm in stressful situations, and handle medications and special needs. My biology degree with a psychology minor also helps me understand dog behavior, so I can read body language and help anxious or shy dogs feel safe. Owners can count on me for reliable updates and attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve dogsat for 7 years and work as a full time vet assistant at an ER clinic, so my schedule is consistent. I work 7am-7pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus a couple of rotating weekend shifts each pay period. I’m available on Mondays, Thursdays, and most weekends, and I can confirm exact dates in advance. I treat every pet like my own and every home with respect. I follow the owner’s instructions on feeding, medications, routines, and house rules, and I keep dogs safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedule. I’m trained to notice signs of stress, pain, or illness, and I’ll update owners with photos and messages during the visit. I always leave the home clean and secure.

About: I’ve always had such a strong love for animals both dogs, cats and more! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my family and have experience with animals of all ages including puppies & kittens and senior dogs and cats. I have experience in providing medicine, treatment, nail trimmings, and more to both cats and dogs in a gentle and careful way! I am very caring and will always make sure your animal is my #1 priority I currently work from home going in the office once a week so I have lots of flexibility to do drop in during lunch time, before or after work and weekends. Since I work from home I am always available at anytime in case of an emergency as well. I currently have two cats that I care for like they are my children (because they are!) both cats are rescues with very different personalities and comforts. Litter boxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly. They are fed half wet feed half dry food diet and fed portion sizes, not free fed. We have pet insurance so take them to the vet as we see fit - more than yearly! When I lived with my parents and their dog we would do daily walks/hikes and I also helped train him!

“Jara walked out dog for several months while I was recovering from an injury. She was reliable and had great communication. Our dog loved her. We would definitely book her again.”

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

“Iris was fantastic! She was able to help out last minute, even though we had never met before, and she immediately put me at ease. She showed up right on time, took great care of Tussey, and sent plenty of pictures during the walk. It was such a relief knowing Tussey was in good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”

“Karina was wonderful when I needed help last minute while sick - my dog, Ollie, absolutely loves her and would rush out the door to greet her. Super reliable and easy to work with too. Highly recommend!”

Kelsey N.

“Bailey was so wonderful to work with. She helped us out in a jam, covering walks for our dog when our dog walker was out of town for an extended period. She was so organized, professional, and helpful. She was very patient with our dog who is definitely a handful.”

Anne A.

“We are so grateful for Emilie. She is caring and detail oriented—the ideal person to look after our senior dog. Having her help has been a big relief when we need someone to stop in and take care of Lela.”

Cary W.

“My dog Charlie is 50 pounds of energy very difficult to walk. I've only had her for about 4 months. She pulls and lunges towards other dogs and anything else with four legs. Lauren has handled Charlie very well and has been flexible with my changing schedule. I highly recommend Lauren. I trust her with my Charlie.”

About: Hello pet parents of Minneapolis! My name is Rebecca, and I am here to offer you top-notch pet sitting services. With a profound love for dogs, I provide personalized care that ensures your furry friend is not just looked after but truly pampered. Whether you need assistance with dog walking or drop in (looking to board after my first month on here), I have the experience and dedication to handle it all. Each walk is filled with fun and exercise to keep your dog happy and healthy. When it comes to check ins, being gentle and respectful of their space and needs is my top priority. As a pet sitter, I offer a safe and loving environment while you're away. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is in capable hands. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your dog and understands their needs, please feel free to message me. I am eager to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have a flexible work schedule that does need me to travel sometimes for overnights. No traveling would occur during boarding. My dog of 5 years passed away earlier this year and I am looking for an outlet to scratch the pet-itch. We often did morning, afternoon, and evening walks. He was a reactive dog that was kid and dog aggressive, so we implement positive reinforcement training to successfully reduce reactivity. Caring for our furry friends means more than just taking them out for walks and feeding them. It is a time to connect and understand their needs. I’ll never push a dog to like me by petting them when they aren’t ready. I have an understanding of dog body language that I pay attention to. Play is one of my favorite ways to connect with animals - each one will have a different play style that I’ll be attuned to.

“Jenna goes above and beyond to care for her client and their pet. Very attentive, accommodating, and respectful of changes and dedicated to making everyone happy. I have great respect for her and she always does a great job and is very transparent. Love having her support and attention to detail especially with my puppy. Means a lot! Can’t recommend a better dog walker/sitter!!”

Kaylee R.

“Great dog walker! One of my dogs is very anxious around strangers and Hisham handled that really well. Timely communication, punctual, and positive & calm with the dogs. I will absolutely be recommending him to others.”

Jen J.

“Serena is great! She sends me very in detailed messages with photos after every walk and keeps close track of my dogs. Both my dogs seem happy with her!”

Kayla K.

“Big fans!! I was looking for someone to help me walk my dog, Cadbury, during the week. They’ve taken her on two walks and she’s already obsessed. It’s a huge relief to have a backup walker, and Cadbury is very appreciative of the extra attention. Kaija and Chris a great communicators and very attentive to the dog’s needs. I’m looking forward to working with them for a long time!”

Megan E.

“Kiirsten was absolutely amazing with our process! She was kind, attentive, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and love. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

Jacob V.

“Natalie did a great job with my puppy Togo when I last-minute needed to book a dog walker for the weekend. She was friendly, quick to respond, reliable, and sent great photos of the walk. I would definitely book her again to walk Togo!”

About: I’ve never known life without animals. Growing up in what our neighbors called the “Dr. Doolittle house” meant there was always a furry friend (or a few!) to care for. It taught me that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized care. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return 😊 Pet care is already part of my everyday routine! I work from home most days, and when I do go into the office, it’s typically only for a few hours. I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to consistent schedule of walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets the same reliable care and sticks to their normal routine while you’re away. Every pet is different so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m stopping by for a potty break, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while sticking as closely as possible to their normal schedule. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

“Thanks for the great walks!”
