Dog Walking Hamel

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15, I’ve taken in mastiffs to small teacup chihuahuas! Ever since my mom started her dog buisness, I’ve grown very fond over taking care of dogs. I have lots of experience from over these past years of dog sitting, and have seen many different types of breeds! I’ve handled dog aggressive dogs as well as human aggressive dogs, this is not new to me and I’m more than happy to accommodate with dogs who suffer from that. I have also medicated dogs as well as cats before! If you wanna try and potty train your puppy I’ll be more than happy to help as well. I’m not a certified trainer, but I’ve done dog conditioning and have my cgc and gone to multiple akc classes. I also trained a medical alert service dog by myself. My dogs are in akc advanced obedience/tricks. I’ve dabbled in dog sports, I’ve taken clients to do fast cat too! If you’re ever interested in getting in to sports and don’t know where to start I would love to help out. Im home most of the day, I’m able to go any clients house at any given time! As long as I get a heads up! My schedule can be adjusted to your needs.🙂 When it comes to house visits I’m a very cautious person, I love to double check everything. Gives me peace of mind, as well as making sure everything was where it was left. I have done house visits where I had to medicate cats or dogs, as well as slept over houses with them! For free I’ll also clean the house up (sweep/mop/dusting) for any house visits! The house will be left the same way you left it!

“Neha was absolutely amazing! I had just moved to a new neighborhood and was looking for someone to give my miniature golden retriever, Leia, dinner, a walk, and some extra belly rubs. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my address in the Rover app, so Neha ended up driving all the way to my old house across the Twin Cities. When she arrived, she noticed that the house didn’t match the photos and instructions I had provided and kindly reached out to me. I was out of town and didn’t see her message for over 30 minutes. I was horrified when I realized my mistake, especially since I was hours away and couldn’t do anything to help. Neha could not have been more gracious and understanding. Despite the inconvenience that I caused, she generously offered to drive to my new home and still take care of Leia. She spent extra time with her, gave her dinner, took her for a walk, and made sure my princess got plenty of love and attention. I am incredibly grateful for Neha’s kindness, flexibility, and patience. She truly went above and beyond, and it meant so much to me. Leia was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely choose Neha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with pets!”

“Karen and Brian are the best. They take such great care of our Goldens, Hank and Winnie. Karen and Brian are great communicators, show Hank and Winnie tons of love, make sure the pups get what they need, and update us with tons of photos. We are so grateful for their kindness, and highly recommend them!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life! My current living situation does not allow animals. Honestly, I am joining Rover to get some dog time and earn some extra cash! I love animals, but have a special place in my heart for dogs and their sweet personalities! I have been dog sitting and walking for friends and family for over 7 years independently. I am currently working full-time! I am most free to walk pups early in the morning, in the evening, or on the weekends! I am flexible and very communicative! I moved out from home recently and am really missing my family dogs, so anytime with your dog will be just as fun for me as it is for them! I am a very responsible, able-bodied individual who loves to walk or run with dogs depending on your desire for your pup! I have been pet and home sitting since I was 15, I've never had a bad experience, and love to leave a place and pup better and happier than I found them!

“Another thing I love about Amber is that she is very responsive. She’s quick to respond about availability and questions. Her rover cards are also detailed which I love and appreciate! Elmo has a blast with her too.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, growing up with two dogs and learning the responsibility and love that comes with pet care from a young age. My experience includes caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I have also helped rescue and rehome dogs, giving me experience with animals from different backgrounds and personalities. I have worked with basic training, positive reinforcement, and understanding dog behavior. I am comfortable reading body language and recognizing when a pet may feel nervous, excited, overwhelmed, or in need of extra care. Above all, I truly love animals and enjoy creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am self-employed and work from home part time, so my schedule is very flexible and it allows me to adjust my availability as needed. I think each animal has a different personality, so it depends on the pet behavior. I like to observe and analyze behaviors, to figure out what approach works best. I am a very empathetic person in general, I am good at respecting animals boundaries when needed. I am enthusiastic and love to be around animals in general.

“Natalie was a godsend when I had to go out of town and my family was unable to get our dog out for proper walks. And she came despite the frigid temps! She was super communicative, happy to help and seemed to enjoy our pup. Definitely booking again!”

“Cory was excellent with my dog. I would use him again any time.”

About: Hi! I am a dependable, experienced pet lover who treats every animal like family. I grew up on a farm with 3 boxers, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. As an adult, I have had a Boston Terrier, two French Bulldogs (one is still with me at home), several cats, lizards, fish, and I currently care for a Koi pond-so I am very comfortable with a wide range of animal personalities and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I have a very friendly French Bulldog named Bubble (age 7), who loves having visitors, plus a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I am close to several walking paths near a lake, and dogs are allowed all throughout my home. I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your pet when you're busy or away-I've been there myself while working long hours in the office plus having to commute. That is why I am committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved and engaged. I promise to keep them happy, healthy, and having fun while they are in my care. I offer walks, daycare, and overnight stays in my home. I am happy to follow your pet's routine closely. I can also handle feeding schedules, basic medications, and provide regular updates with photos so you always feel connected and know what is going on. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities-and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. I would love to meet you and your pet! I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am home most of the day already with my dog -unless having to run errands. The same holds true if I am watching your pet. I will be around the house with your pet all day! I have a 2 floor home, fenced back yard, small shallow koi pond, doggy door, and gates at the top of the stairs for pets.

“Debdatta has done an amazing job with Finley and Gabby. The dogs love her and she is very attentive, providing frequent updates, asking all the right questions about their care, and ensuring the dogs are well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Sarah has taken exceptional care of our puppy on his walks! She sends adorable photos and updates every day and it’s clear Charlie loves her!”

Kate F.

“Jenna was phenomenal with my energetic teenage German shepherd Frank! She went above and beyond to make sure Frank was comfortable with her (even meeting him a week before our scheduled walks!) and gave fantastic updates each visit. I can’t say enough good things. I would 100% recommend to any dog owner and will definitely use her services again!”

Taylor B.

“I highly recommend Jenna to to care for your dog. Our dog came back from her walk very happy. Jenna knew how to interact and communicate with our dog well. She even gave her a clean up afterward from the mud puddles.”
