Dog Walking Howe

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. I currently specialize in pets with special needs: 🦴 Seniors 🦴 Deaf/blind 🦴 Rescues/Trauma informed care 🦴 Medication administration 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.

I have experience working with cats and dogs at emergency hospitals and smaller veterinary clinics. I also have a indoor super sweet cat named snowbell.

“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: 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.

“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.”

“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”

About: I have had cat for most of my life and been a dog groomer for the past 6 years. I've been safety certified and senior dog handling certified. Dog grooming as given me experience with a wide variety of pets with different needs and temperament. I have pet sat for many clients, friends and family. I have experience administering medications for dogs and cats. I'm currently taking a break from Dog grooming. I need my dog fix! I am available for mornings and evenings as well as overnight stays. I give the pets some time to get used to me in their space before I interact with them to not overwhelm them. I'm experienced at reading pet body language

“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 💕”

“He has walked my dog multiple times and has done an amazing job! He was super flexible the whole time and was able to adjust the walk time every time I had a change in schedule. He was also super good about communicating (running early, running a little late, etc.) and took multiple really cute pictures of my pup every time Jarrett walked him. My pup also seemed to really like him. I would definitely use him again!”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me watching their pups while on vacation or even for a day! I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog parks. I’m very used to and love cuddly pups and pups that love to play! I am currently in college so I am unavailable until 1 pm every weekday, but my evenings and some weekends are open almost every week! I have an invisible fenced yard with 3 young pups who love to roam around and spend time in the yard, but we also have a leash put out just incase! I can easily wait outside with your pup while going potty, and easily put them in the crate if needed! My pups are allowed everywhere in the house, on furniture, sleep in beds, etc.

About: With 11 years of hands-on experience caring for both my own pets and others’, I specialize in cats and dogs — I know how to read their body language, keep them comfortable, and stick to their routines. Since I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. And because I don’t have other pets in my home, your pet gets my full, undivided attention — no competing for space, food, or affection with a resident animal. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, not just around it. My work is flexible, so I’m either home or able to come back frequently throughout the day — your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I’m available all seven days of the week, so there’s no gap in coverage between weekdays and weekends. Boarding • Your pet stays in my home with no other pets competing for attention. I keep feeding and routines on schedule, and since I work from home, someone’s around for most of the day. Drop-ins • I follow whatever routine you’ve set — feeding, medication, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, and playtime — with a photo update after each visit. Walks • One walk a day, paced to your pet’s comfort level, on-leash and supervised the whole time. I pay close attention to their cues, especially with cats and small-to-medium dogs, where I have the most hands-on experience. House-sitting • I usually do NOT stay at clients homes overnight or for extended periods during the day! • I will check in with your pets in the AM/PM (as needed) and follow their routines so their schedule is consistent, and provide photos throughout the stay. *Every visit ends with a photo, so you always know your pet is happy and cared for.

“Sam is great! Very flexible and easy communication for coordinating walks. She made the most out of the 30-minute walks with my dog Beau. I super appreciate that as it's his only exercise right now, and he can be pokey. He was delighted to see her each day and came back every time in a better mood :)”

“Jara walked out dog for several months while I was recovering from an injury. She was reliable and had great communication. Our dog loved her. We would definitely book her again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life, starting with the family dog when I was 4. When I was 22, I got my first dog. A basset hound name Charlie who gave me all the lessons in having a new puppy, and a vocal one at that. My most recent dog, a yorkshire terrier named Lucy, sadly passed 3 years ago at the age of 13 after battling heart and kidney problems. What sets me apart, is that I have experienced the life stages of a dog from puppy to old age, and have loved them fully in all of those stages. I've handled the training and high energy and teething stages, and eased them to the other side with the frequent appointments and medications. Having grown up and been around dogs my whole life, I feel they can sense my genuine love for all animals and I have gotten good at helping all dogs eventually feel at ease with me. Like I say to all people who have told me "they really like you", I have great dog vibes. (And am very responsible too). I am in the process of shifting careers and am wanting to take the time to decide where that will lead. I teach 2-3 crochet classes a month on Sundays but besides those times, I can be available any time as long as there is a little notice. For transparency, I will be looking for additional part time work while in this transitioning stage, but I will update my availability and coordinate with current clients with plenty of notice as I do not plan on stopping with Rover. Right now, I am in a place that does not allow animals, but I am happy to visit/stay at homes or take pets out for walks. A typical schedule when I had dogs, was to wake up and take them for a walk right away, then I would feed them and start my day. Additionally, I always made sure to get them out for an evening/nighttime walk. The amounts of time I take them out to the bathroom depends on the age of the dog and whether there are any issues with accidents in the home. As my dog got older, I had to take her out more frequently and make arrangements with others to help me. I I am in tune with dogs while I am with them. I will leave them alone if they are sleeping or are content, but I am frequently talking to them and connecting with them in different ways (pets, throwing toys, singing songs about them, etc..) so they don't feel ignored. After having 3 of my own dogs, I know how different dogs can be (even if they are all good boys and girls). Knowing a little bit about the dog's personality, fears, favorite treats/toys, health status, etc. helps me care for them better, make their environment safer, and keep them comfortable.

“Marit was really helpful with filling a last-minute request to walk our dog! I appreciated the photos and communication and would definitely book Marit again.”

About: Hi! My names Priscilla and I’m looking for some extra cash while doing something I love. I’ve been walking dogs for a bit and otherwise have spent my entire life around all types of creatures from fish to guinea pigs to horses! My dear childhood cat, Swiper, passed January 2025 after having him for 14ish years (since I was three!) He was an orange cat (if you know you know 😅) and we had many other cats when I was growing up. We’ve had my dog for eight years, since he was a puppy! Chubbs is a very energetic, quirky Dudley Lab who has given me TONS of walking experience. From both him and other dogs, I have much experience with large, high-energy pullers with many triggers and quirks. My number one priority is making your furry friend feel safe, cared for, and loved, and I can easily adapt to any pets needs—I’ve been around animals with all types of triggers and quirks, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I truly hold so much love for animals and whether it’s giving your dog a good walk, checking on your babies or keeping them company while you’re away I’d be honored to care for your furry friend! 💗 I just finished high school a few months ago and am taking a gap year while I figure out what I want to do, and I’m currently not working so my availability is wide open! I’m pretty much always available and looking for last minute walks or drop in’s. Shoot me a message and I’m sure we can work something out! Safety is my number one priority, for both me and your furry friend! Please let me know if your fur baby has any special needs, triggers, quirks, allergies, or dietary needs. I can easily accommodate to different pets needs and circumstances to make the entire experience (whether walks/sitting) safer and easier for them!

“Rachel was so sweet with my dog and reliable!”
