Dog Walking Howe

“Jackson was so great with Luna! He took her on a long walk and was great at communicating with us and including pictures. We’ll definitely book him again.”

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority :) I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid. It started with a family German Shepherd and never really stopped. Over the past few years, I’ve regularly cared for dogs for friends and family, including senior dogs and high-energy breeds. I’m good with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I work hybrid, but my partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have people around in a calm, lived-in space. I work hybrid: three days a week in-office, the rest from home. My partner and toddler are home full-time, so your dog will always have company and a stable routine. We’re an animal-loving home without a dog of our own, so yours will get our full attention. We have a fenced-in backyard, live near multiple parks, and go on walks regularly. The house is calm, lived-in, and ready to follow your dog’s routine!

“Lisa was wonderful with our timid rescue pup. She took the time to let our girl warm-up to her, and by the end of the week’s walks, she got a tail wag!”

“Ruby was outstanding! Our dog was happy and she was very communicative. Thanks Ruby!”

“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!”

About: I have had a dog (yellow lab) since I was in sixth grade, and I have taken care of coworker’s pets on occasion. I now have a rescue pitbull I love dearly. I can walk and play and sit with your pet to make sure they feel loved and have fun. I am currently out of school for the summer and I have a very flexible schedule, and I would love to come hang out with your pets! I like to hang out with animals and make them feel comfortable; I have a nice large fenced in backyard, and I have a car that I can take your pet in, if they like going in the car. I am used to giving a dog two walks a day, in the morning and evening.

About: While I do not have a dog of my own, I love caring for and playing with my friend’s dogs and love learning their unique personalities. I am full time pet sitter while I focus of a career change. I am reliable, trustworthy, and care deeply about your pets wellbeing. I communicate clearly and promptly and want to give you the peace of mind that your animals are being cared for well. I have a fenced in back yard and a cat. I do not have access to a crate so if that is necessary, it would need to be provided.

About: No matter the size, breed or personality of your pet, earning their trust and friendship (along with your own trust) is my top priority. I grew up in a multi-pet household taking care of dogs, birds and small animals. Since then, I have taken care of horses, anoles, cats, parakeets and my curiosity for getting to know an animal's individual personality has only grown over that time. I currently have two dogs: an Australian shepherd and border collie mix, both of whom I raised from puppies by myself. We are an active family, walking/hiking and in general spending time exploring the neighborhood for hours a day, traveling together for camping or cabin vacations in our free time. It's cliche, but my dogs are truly my family and as a long-time Rover user on the customer side, I understand what it means to have a sitter/walker you can trust while you're away. I love finding people who strive to understand them as individuals and who are sensitive to their needs. My border collie is highly sensitive and I have learned to work within his limits, giving him the stimulation he needs by finding more isolated parks to sniff around, mental challenges inside, etc. that keep him entertained while reducing stress. I am more than comfortable getting to know your own pets' quirks and finding ways to keep their days consistent and stress-free. Pet care is already at the center of my life, as I have two energetic herding dogs. We walk frequently every day to help burn energy -- I like to let my dogs walk at their pace so they can sniff around and stimulate their brains while getting exercise. As someone with pets I understand the importance of trust-building in drop-in visit situations. As your schedule permits, we can meet beforehand via a meet and greet to get a feel for your schedule and space, and how to support your comfort and your pets'. Pets thrive with routine, and I strive to support that.

“Was worries at first that my boy Bear was barking so much but Phenix got him calm and had a good walk with him! Bear can't wait to see them again 💕”

“Darwin is incredibly reliable, and they work very well with our pup Sage. We have been able to rest easy during the work day (and check our pet camera less!), because we know Sage is in good hands with Darwin. They have even taken some time during our booking to reinforce training with Sage!”

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: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.

“Thank you Amy for a great first visit with Sage! The details you shared about how the visit went, as well as the multiple photos, were much appreciated :)”

About: Hi, my name is Katie. I am an experienced pet sitter, and I love giving all my clients extra love and attention, just like my own family's dog. I grew up with shelties. While I don't have any pets of my own right now, I just graduated from a master's program and have lots of love to give your furry friends. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, and have a special place in my heart for senior pets. Those I’ve dog sat for before describe me as warm, an excellent communicator who gives great peace of mind while they’re away. I am happy to pop by your home for an evening or weekend walk with your furry friend, or we can schedule an overnight stay. I am very attentive to my client's needs and remain attentive to my surroundings. When I'm out walking with a dog and I see another dog, I make sure to steer the dogs away from one another, even crossing the street if needed. I will check to make sure they have enough water before I leave and that all the doors are locked.

“Charlie loves walking with Tracy. She has a calming and positive nature that helps with his high energy. He watches out the window for her. I really appreciate it, along with her flexibility with my schedule.”

“Molly was such a joy to work with and went above and beyond to give our dog a much needed break and extra attention in the middle of the day. We will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Sara B.

“Alex was great! I introduced him to both of my dogs, and I think they senses his calm, chill vibe and were into it. I am planning to reach back out to him in the coming weeks for walking and house sitting.”

About: I cared for a friends dog for 4 years, treating it like my own family member. I have also watched plenty of dogs from other friends as well as a coworkers dog. I’ve had them at my house, given walks, and gone to their house to give care. Whatever is needed, I am your resource of love and compassion for your animal. During the week I work at a nature center, however my schedule is flexible. I’m able to move my hours around so that I can be around to help your pet when need be. I can help stay with your dog in your place if need be, or they can be in my apartment where I can walk them through the neighborhoods or take them to the nearby park. I would keep them away from other dogs if needed. Whatever is needed for your loved one, I am here for you.

“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”
