Dog Walking Hale

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life: dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, fish, turtles, you name it. I also work from home so your pet can get steady company and attention during the day, not just a quick in-and-out visit. Happy to water your plants during drop-ins too, so everything’s thriving when you get back. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to feed, check in on, and snuggle their pets when they’re away, and I take that trust seriously. When a friend’s cat needed an emergency vet visit while they were overseas, I was there to handle it and keep them updated every step of the way. I also take direction well so if you’re working on training with your dog, I’ll follow your routine closely to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’m currently working from home so I am flexible with daytime walks and visits! I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, usually between 11am and 6pm I treat others space with the same respect I’d want mine to be treated with: I’m careful with entry access and making sure doors and gates are secure before I leave. I always double check food, water, and litter areas. If anything comes up, I stay calm, act quickly, and keep you informed the whole time.

“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.”

“Rob was filling in while our other dog walker was on vacation for two weeks. I highly recommend Rob! He’s like a dog whisperer :-). Very intuitive, patient, flexible, timely, and an excellent communicator. Charlotte enjoyed her walks with him. He truly will be missed.”

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.

About: Hi I’ve had dogs of all sizes and medical conditions for my entire life. We are able to manage medications and special needs with great care. I have also been a volunteer at a pet rescue and do home checks to ensure safety for new owners. I am a nurse and I work full time with only ends up being 2-3 days a week so most of the time I am home with our toddler. We recently lost our old lady dog so our house is fully accommodating and accessible dogs of all sizes and mobility. We live in a townhouse so we do not have a lot of yard space but we have community areas and a great walking path and route for walks! We also have a toddler so our house is baby proofed and we monitor heavily for anything that may be a safety issue, this directly translates for our four-legged company!

“Sally is such an excellent addition to my first dog owner experience. Having her come by my place when I have to work in office allows me to focus on my work and keep this ship sailing. I trust she will take care of my pups and leave my place locked and safe. Sally is reliable and a strong communicator on top of being a gifted animal handler.”

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.

“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!”

“Paul picked up Abby right on time, and reported that her walk and play time with Nessie went splendidly. The pictures were a great addition. We schedule a redo this week.”

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Jay was great! We will definitely request him again to walk Lucy😊. She’s a stubborn gal and a couple other walkers struggled to get her going- he walked a full 2 miles with her! Thank you again!!”

About: I have experience caring for newborn puppies, as well as dogs and cats with special needs or medications. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I also have experience house sitting, so I’m comfortable staying in a client’s home and making sure both their pets and their home are well cared for while they’re away. I’m very attentive and flexible, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m new to the area and currently looking for a full-time position, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I have plenty of availability throughout the week and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m flexible with timing and locations and am happy to accommodate different schedules and the individual needs of each pet. I love having the opportunity to spend my extra time caring for animals, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions their owner gives me, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them some extra attention and love. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what makes them comfortable. My goal is to make sure they feel happy and cared for while their owner is away and to give the owner peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

“Molly truly treats your dogs like they’re her own. She fully embraces their personality, faults, quirks, and all. Anyone would be lucky to have their pets’ taken care of by Molly, they’re in GOOD hands!🤍”

“Haidyn is great with my pets! She provides ample exercise, love, and attention while also being very timely in communication. Haidyn has also done great with meeting the needs of my puppy, who isn't fully trained. There are things I'm trying to work on with the pup, and Haidyn does well in being consistent with my training.”
