Dog Walking Hanover

“Great communication and my pups loved her!!”

About: Hi! I’m Alex, and we’re a family of five with a lifelong love for animals! Animals have always been a big part of our family. We recently said goodbye to our two beloved dogs, who were both 13 years old. They grew up alongside our children and were truly part of our family. While we’re not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, we would love the opportunity to share that same love and care with another family’s furry companion. We understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog feels right at home while you’re away. We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Our home is family-oriented, and your pup will receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. We also have a resident indoor cat, so it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable and respectful around cats. Having cared for our own dogs throughout their senior years, we understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog loves playing outside, relaxing on the couch, or simply being close to people, we want them to feel happy, safe, and loved. We know leaving your pet with someone new can be difficult, so we’re happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. We look forward to meeting you and hopefully becoming a trusted second home for your furry family member! 🐾

About: I am recently returned Peace Corps Panama volunteer with over a decade of experience with my own dogs, as well as caring for others’ dogs. I grew up with a Vizsla, and took a lead role in training her including obedience, agility, and retrieving. This also provided me with extensive experience with very high-energy, as well as anxious dogs. I have experience with all breeds- large, small, high energy, low energy, etc. I also have experience with older and sick dogs. Over a year ago, my childhood dog sadly passed from a serious form of bone cancer. Due to this, she was very fragile and we had to be very careful about helping her and making sure her days were pain-free. I also have experience with temporarily ill dogs. I also have my own dog that I have had since a puppy who I got in Panama. Lastly, my family has recently fostered some dogs, which provided me with experience with nervous and unsocialized dogs. I am currently on a month-long leave before starting a new role with the Peace Corps, and have complete my open availability. I am very flexible, and will make sure your pup receives the love and attention that they deserve! I continuously research dog behavior and training techniques, so I will cater to each individual dog’s needs. I practice positive reinforcement techniques for training and correction. I have experience caring for dogs with a range of medical and mobility needs, so each dog's care plan will be specialized based on what you, the owner, want.

“We’re so grateful for Sarah! Good communication and great with Monte. We were out late, and it gave us peace of mind to know that Monte would be well taken care of. I would not hesitate to use Sarah‘s services again!”

About: I have a bit more varied experience than some. When I was young, we had a veritable zoo, and I haven't stopped having animals since. I've never not had a dog and was made responsible for over 30 miniature horses whenever their owner needed it. I also have experience with ferrets, cats, parakeets, parrots, and lizards. I will say if you need to look after something more exotic (and demanding) we would need to talk first. My dog is also quite old and has a lot of health problems, so I am familiar with handling these. I work Mondays from 12-7 and Tuesdays through Thursday I work 10-4. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I have mostly open availability with the exception that I occasionally have work events. Each animal is different, and so I would strive to find that balance with your dog. Every dog plays a bit different or might need their food handled differently. While I can't take animals into my home at the present, I will strive to be as careful with meeting their needs as I do my own pup at home.

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

About: I love all animals! I give them my full attention. Play with them, snuggle, pet, take to the park. I’m great at following instructions and going above and beyond expectations. I am very available! I work mornings in a coffee shop so I get off by noon. For longer jobs or ones with more intense care needed, I can take off to be there more full time. I can provide any care you need. I put the needs of pets above my own. Their safety and comfort is top priority , especially when they are away from their family.

“My pup is so much happier on days with Madeline! I come home to a happy, calm dog. Quick to respond to all communication.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a child. In recent years, I have adopted senior dogs with serious health issues, so I am well-versed in medications and special needs. I have a rescued cuddle buddy, about a 14-year-old, 10-pound toy poodle/Maltese mix who had a hard time sharing me, so my pet care availability has changed from boarding to drop-in visits and short walks. I am able to walk dogs under 40 pounds but love all dogs and would be happy to let larger dogs out into their own fenced yard. I also love cats and enjoy doing drop-in visits and getting all the snuggles - or completely ignored, depending on your fur baby’s personality ;)

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for your pet, I follow your instructions closely and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they’re used to. I’m happy to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I work full-time during weekdays, but I’m available for pet care before work, after work, evenings, and weekends. If you prefer someone with your pets at all times, my wife works remotely and can step-in during work hours for that additional companionship and supervision. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and have the flexibility to give your pet attention, care, and playtime throughout my workday. I’m happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safe and secure. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets all the attention, care, and love they’re used to.

“David is fantastic. Our dogs just love him. He is kind, fun and really reliable. Thank you. He has house sat for both long and short term amounts of time and was great with our whole zoo of animals. (2 dogs, 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs!❤️) Plus he takes them in fun walks with we need help with that.”

About: I recently moved to Albertville, MN and am looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I’ve had dogs for my entire life growing up and now have two dogs of my own. I have years of experience taking care of neighbors, friends, and family members pets providing them with the best care. Available for drop in visits, walks, and home stays in around Albertville and willing to travel up to 30 mins to care for pets. I currently live and work in the Albertville, MN area. I love taking care of dogs and enjoy doing so in my free time or on lunch breaks at work. I have a fairly flexible schedule with my job so I am able to work in multiple visits/walks per day if needed. I have two dogs of my own and do not typically offer in-home boarding due to this. My personal dogs are very friendly and love playing with other dogs. If it is a special circumstance, I would be open to discuss in home boarding.

About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.

About: I treat every pet like family. You’ll get photo and video updates throughout each stay, so you’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I take time to learn your pets quirks and routines and love detailed instructions. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can provide real attention to your pet. Pets are a natural part of my day! I have a cat at home and we have lots of play time. I work from home full time and like to go on long walks or runs. I have a very flexible schedule, so any time sensitive schedules can easily be set. When pets stay with me I set up a space with their own bed and familiar items. I keep their feeding and potty schedule consistent. In your home, I follow your routines and send updates after each visit. As a pet owner myself, I keep an eye for changes in routine or behavior and I’ll contact you if anything seems off.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am very active so you can expect frequent walks. I have a 5 year old dog who is very friendly I have full availability for dog walking, I’m home house sitting, and drop in visits if you are away. I love all types of dogs. I am very friendly with all types and sized dogs. I always have treats at the ready and toys with me for a great time. I take long walks regularly and would love for your dog to come with me!

“Courtney’s the absolute best. My dog adores her so much!”
