Dog Walking Hamburg

About: Hello! I'm Tina. I live in Waconia, and I'm looking to care for your dogs, for walks, quiet snuggles, or just a good run around the back yard. Will house/pet sit as well. I've had 3 dogs in my life, and 20+ years of playtime, laughs, and bonding with my "kids" as I call them. I currently have a 15 year old shih tzu/mix who is my baby. In the past, I've taken care of one of my dogs, who had many health issues, so I'm experienced with senior or special needs animals. I've administered meds (pills), spent many days at the vet, and am very sensitive to ill animals and senior animals who just want to rest or have low key play. I have experience with puppies as well who are looking to just have fun! I'm very responsible and dedicated to my animals, and would be the same with yours. Give me a try! =) Right now my schedule is open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your animal and their needs. I have availability on weekends as well, but that can change by the week. I have an unfenced yard and one senior little ole lady shih tzu who is extremely low maintenance and very sweet. She has free range of the house, but I do crate her when I'm away from home for periods of time.

About: I work with all different kinds of dogs anything from puppies to senior dogs. I have token puppy training classes and know the basics and I have cared for meny senior dogs. Helping with stairs and special diet. I have worked with animals that have diabetes and skin conditions. I offer a team of people me and my Boyfriend work together to offer the best dog care. My daughter even helps out where she can. Our goal is to make sure your dogs are getting the best care we can officer so you don't have to worry why you are away I fall the somethings you do if you kennel them to baby gates you have up around the house. Its important to me to fall the same safety measures that you do when your not home.

About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!

“Bailey has been amazing with Winnie! She’s always on time, takes great updates pictures, and trains Winnie while they walk!!”

About: Growing up on a farm I understand the connection animals give us. We had at least 3 dogs around us constantly. Their care and comfort is my number one priority. I have experience with reactive and timid dogs. As a young teenager I did 4H with my boarder collie. We competed in agility, rally’s, and basic obedience. My GSD and I worked through his reactivity to other dogs and people. I personally trained him to be the best boy he can be, and he earned his K9 good citizen. I love all types of personality’s, from teething puppies to seniors who just need some company. I excel in dog training, I love a good challenge. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to spend with your four legged family members! Contact me for more information about my schedule! I thoroughly follow instructions for your pet, and the safety of you’re home. I understand that some dogs are timid, and that some dogs are reactive on walks. I will be sure to make my time with you’re pup comfortable and enjoyable for both of us.

“Janneke is great with Leo. She gives him a great walk and when the weather doesn’t cooperate she will play with him inside and still give him a potty break. She’s very dependable!”

About: I grew up on a hobby farm with dogs, cats, horses, chickens and goats. I have always been around animals of all kinds. My friends and family call me whenever they need a pet sitter as I enjoy taking care of animals. I currently work from home, so I am able to have animals at my home, stay at client's homes with their pets or just stop by to check in or do walks. My work schedule is flexible. I own my own home with an unfenced yard, but I do have outdoor dog hookups and a friendly neighborhood to walk animals. My furniture is pet friendly and I always love a good snuggle.

“Darian was great. Let me know when she arrived, took pictures and communicated when she left. Will definitely reach out again”

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

About: I have worked with dogs and cats doing on 6 years now, and have had the opportunity to be around a ton of personalities and care for many different energy levels. In this, I also have experience crate, house, and yard training! Though I’m currently at college, I have quite a few breaks during the day in which I could check in on any pets and make sure they are happy, heathy, fed, and don’t need to use the restroom. I have all nights and most weekends free, and have flexible hours during most of the week. While it certainly depends on the personality and age of the pet, general care would include meeting the basic needs (food, water, bathroom breaks, and running/walking time) while also being ready and able to play, facilitate enrichment times, and cuddle especially clingy pets.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

“Elena is always such a joy to have come & walk my 2 pups! They hadn’t seen her in a few months & they were SO excited to have her come back to walk them! She is kind, attentive to detail & very communicative! Highly recommend”

About: I have been taking care of dogs (and cats!) of every kind since I was 10. Family, friends, neighbors, and new acquaintances have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their pets. I am currently in a gap year between college and physical therapy grad school. I am working full time 8-4:30 Mon-Fri, but have availability before and after. My weekends are available to book at anytime! I am currently unable to board, but I am always punctual and ready to care for the dogs with whatever they may need. I have always wanted a dog of my own, so I treat them with love as if they were.

About: I am a full time overnight sitter and walker. Additionally I am Fear Free Certified in Dog Daycare Handling. I have 13 years I spent at the first Daycare/Boarding facilities in MN to become Fear Free certified. I have 9 years in overnight care, to which my clients have become like family. I am constantly educating myself on how to provide the best care for our pets. Outside of work, I am my friends' go-to pet sitter. It's an ongoing joke that I am never alone. Many clients pets have become deeply a part of my friends lives as well. In 2025 I left the daycare, and have been putting all my time into working for myself as a dog walker. My focus is with off leash, fenced in hikes. I’ve also partnered with a local organization called Canine Inspired Change. They train you and your dog to do therapy dog work. They lend me their training space so that I can have my own mini daycare playtime. It has toys, puzzles, and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to enjoy. I pick up and drop off, taking no more than 5 dogs. This way I can ensure safety, and attention to everyone. I also have a passion for pet nutrition. I pride myself on being an extremely accommodating person. Very go with the flow! I have experienced a lot wild situations in my line of work, and I feel I am prepared, and knowledgeable in handling all types of emergencies and situations. Even if they are related to not just your dog, but your home. I am also very excited to have completed a Therapy Dog course at Canine Inspired Change with one of my clients dogs! I am excited to be doing therapy dog work with her. After losing my dog of 17 years in 2025, I decided to quit my job and focus on dog care full time. I spend my days taking 1-5 dogs out on fun excursions! We will rent Sniff Spots, go on long leash adventure hikes, backyard play dates with friends, or enjoy indoor playtime at a local training facility that lends me their playroom space. Your dog will have 24/7 care with me, and enjoy all the perks that my mini daycare dogs do. If I stay at your house, I will stay there overnight to make sure I can accommodate all the dogs needs. I can handle any special needs, or medications required.

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

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!

About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be committing to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.

“Tara is very caring and attentive. Our dogs were well cared for and she provides great communication, going the extra mile by bring packages in when there.”
