Dog Walking Hudson

“Valerie took Kodak on some adventures this week! She’s so flexible and willing to try new things to keep our puppy entertained and happy. She took him swimming at a lake and some public lands for new scenery. Valerie is proactive and super informed about our pets needs and health. Kodak loves hanging with her :)”

About: My pet/house sitting adventures have taken me across the country, from Oregon to Hawaii to South Carolina. I have cared for a variety of breeds and personalities, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors, and I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and routines. Our family absolutely loves animals, but we do not have any of our own. We love welcoming special guests into our home and giving them 100% of our love and attention while they’re with us ❤ We also enjoy caring for pets in their own homes, where they may feel most comfortable. I'm attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and special care instructions, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily walks to medication administration. We’re a blended family with one child (age 14) who lives with us half the time, and two children (ages 8 and 4) who are here full-time. They're gentle and very respectful of animals, and they love to help when families and pets are comfortable with it. Depending on your preferences (and your pet’s comfort level), my kids may join me for some or none of the time. We’re flexible and will prioritize what helps your pet feel relaxed and loved. Thank you for your time! I’ve worked remotely for 14 years, which gives me the flexibility to provide care either in my home or yours. I’m typically available on weekdays and many weekends, too. We do not have a fenced-in yard, however, our family loves to spend time outdoors and go on walks. We would love to include your pet(s) in our adventures, if you're comfortable with us doing so!

“John is very responsive and flexible. His love for and understanding of dogs is very apparent which made me feel like my kiddos were in good hands. Although I just needed him to walk the kiddos I wouldn’t hesitate to use John for any of his services.”

About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.

“Emma was amazing and took care of my baby while I was on vacation. She was so attentive and even made sure to take out my other dog to potty when they’d get back from their walk. She’d make sure to communicate when things fell short and would make up for it when she could. Emma is extremely understanding and will work with you. 10/10 definitely recommend her, your baby would be in such caring hands.”

About: Your pets are part of your family, and they deserve the best care possible. That's exactly what I give every animal I look after. I'm a proud cat mom to Salam and Binx, and I've been caring for other people's pets for years. I've dog sat for my family's goldendoodle for several years and regularly look after friends' cats. I also volunteered at Caring for Cats, where I got hands-on experience with cats of all personalities. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. You'll get daily photo updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I truly love everything about caring for animals, and I'd love to meet yours. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit visits and walks around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking for cats and small to medium dogs in and around Lake Elmo. I don't host pets in my home, so all of my care happens in yours. Your pet stays in the environment they know best, with their own bed, their own routine, and none of the stress that comes with a new place. In-home visits: Fresh food and water, litter box scooped or potty break handled, medications given as directed, and real time spent with your pet. Play, brushing, or a quiet lap sit, depending on what they're into. I don't rush in and out. Dog walking: Leashed walks at a pace that fits your dog, whether that's a brisk loop or a slow sniff around the block. I keep a close eye on other dogs and traffic, and I always clean up. While you're away: I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, adjust blinds, and keep an eye on things so your home looks lived in. I leave everything exactly as I found it. Before every booking I do a meet and greet so we can go over your pet's routine, quirks, medical needs, and anything that makes them nervous. I want to know where the leash lives and what your vet's number is before you ever leave. You'll get daily photo updates, and I'm always reachable if something comes up.

About: Hi! My name is Ashley. I am originally from Superior. We just recently moved to Woodbury from Appleton. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and the level of care and communication I provide. I’ve had dogs my entire life, including hands-on experience caring for a diabetic dog, so I’m comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and consistent care. I’m confident with high-energy dogs and patient with puppies and seniors who need a gentler pace. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home often and able to provide attentive, structured care, along with regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are very open for walks and drop-in visits, as I’m home and have a flexible schedule on those days. Tuesdays and Thursdays also work well when my schedule is open, and I’m happy to communicate availability in advance. Weekends are often available as well and may vary slightly depending on my family’s schedule, but I do my best to remain flexible whenever possible. Overnight care is also something I’m excited to offer when my schedule allows, as I understand how comforting it can be for pets to stay in their own home while their owners are away. I’m always happy to discuss scheduling needs and will be clear and communicative to ensure the best care for your pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, closely following their routine and your instructions. In your home, I focus on consistent feeding, walks, medications, and any special care needs. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure each visit includes quality time, attention, exercise, and affection, not just a quick stop.

About: I work at Central Bark Rochester and have hours of volunteering, education, and hard work in canine care and training. My training and learning continues by the day. Im well versed in many different care/training practices and can adjust to each dog's individual needs well. Not only do I value the desires of pet parent's, but the feelings and consent of their furry friends. I work part time and have availability in the mornings, evenings, and weekends! Afternoons vary. I aim for longer sessions to fill the mornings and shorter in the evenings. I am willing to unlock/lock or enter codes to maintain home safety. I am comfortable crating dogs, keeping them seperate from other animals, and working with reactive individuals (see bottom for details). I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets in or outside the house aswell as administering first aid and medications.

About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs & just about everything inbetween. Currently pet free & enjoy meeting new furry friends. Enjoy long walks & pampering pets. I’m newly retired & have time to spare. Pet care keeps me active & entertained. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality & teaching them new tricks. I live near a walking path that allows for long dog walks & lots of fresh air. I have pet sit in others’ homes for years & have references as needed. It’s whatever works best for your furry friends.

About: Being a dog owner is one of the most rewarding experiences to me! I enjoy the love, passion, and intelligence they have. I also understand it can be a lot of work especially when life gets busy, or sometimes you just need someone to stop in and check on them while you are out of town. I am happy to help with a variety of needs! 🙂 I currently work full time with a reasonably flexible schedule! Availability will open up more in a couple of months. Let me know what you are looking for! I completed The Ultimate Canine Communication Masterclass by Larry Krohn, and working on a couple other courses with the intention of eventually getting certified in dog training. A lot of what I learned in those courses relate to proper equipment, dog behaviors and body language, communication, and foundation. Which all play in a role in caring for and keeping your pet safe and having fun!

About: My schedule: I work in-office Monday & Thursday, so can only do evenings those days. Otherwise, can do up to 3 visits the other days of the week! Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a cat, and I currently have a 5-year-old cat that I adopted when he was 10 weeks. I frequently watch my brother’s golden retriever when he travels. I’ve also worked as a nanny for families with cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my routine for a while. For the past two years while I was living in Florida, I regularly cared for two dogs with separation anxiety who couldn’t be left alone for more than an hour. I spent about 20 hours a week with them providing companionship & playtime. When their owners were away for extended day trips, I administered their daily medication. I’m comfortable giving medication when needed and always follow care instructions extremely carefully to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I’m detail-oriented, patient, attentive, and adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. I love animals and find it rewarding to help out with pet sitting! 🩵 I’m free most days of the week and able to work with your schedule. Mondays & Thursdays I work in Maple Grove 9-6pm, otherwise I have a lot of availability and flexibility. Since I have my own cat and he’s timid, I prefer to cat sit + dog sit at your house. I can do overnights, check-ins, walks, feedings. I’m a huge animal lover and extremely trustworthy and reliable, can provide pet sitting references if needed!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid ! I have had experience with a big and small dogs. I regularly take care of my friends dogs. I have dogs of my own and understand how hard it is to get them outside while being busy. I am home from college right now and have extra time on my hands ! I will always put your dogs needs as my top priority! I will keep you updated during the walk as having someone else walking your dog can be stressful.

About: I've had more than 2 dogs in my home my entire life, from 8 week old puppies to seniors. I have experience giving the dogs medicine when they need it. I work part time at a retail store, so I am never working more than 9 hours at a time, I usually only work 4-5 hours normally. I make the pets my priority when I am caring for them and I watch their behaviors so I can catch anything out of the ordinary. I follow feeding directions and potty schedules.

“Would absolutely recommend.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two dogs (Great Pyrenees and pitbull) and two cats. I have experience giving medication (pill and liquid format), as well as giving insulin, and even subcutaneous IV fluids. Because my dogs are so big, you bet I’ll be able to walk your dog(s) no matter their size! I love going to dog parks or just chilling on the couch for some cuddles. I also have experience with spicier critters who just need a little time and space. No matter how big or small, how old or young, I’ll take the best care of your babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so popping over for play/potty breaks or house sitting for you during the work week is no problem. I’m available 5pm onwards and on weekends for sitting or more extensive care. I am flexible with my availability. I am very good at following any instructions you have for your fur baby when I come to your house. Anything you need me to do I’ll do it. The best possible feeling is knowing your animals are in good, safe hands when you’re not available to take care of them yourself and I promise to deliver.

About: I have had dogs and cats always! I would love to care for yours too! I have experience with puppies to seniors to care for as family! I also have given medication and shots to my fur babies I am flexible with my schedule and can cater to your pets needs while your away to make them as confortable as possible. Would love to pamper your fur babies! I would love to come to your house where they are most at home and comfortable I will give them love and attention while your away!

About: Loving animals is at the heart of why pet sitting is such a fulfilling experience. Dogs, in particular, have an incredible capacity for unconditional love and loyalty. When you open your heart to care for them, you're not just providing a service; you're forming a bond built on trust and affection. Every wagging tail, wet nose nudge, and happy bark is a reminder of the pure joy that animals bring into our lives. I would love to take care of your Pet. PET sitting allows you to immerse yourself in this love, creating unforgettable moments and strengthening your appreciation for the wonderful connection we share with our furry friends. I’ve had Many Experiences with animals. As far as Young to growing up. I am working part time so I have plenty time for extra activities! I am free as a bird to enjoy time spending with your dog However I don’t have a fence yard.. but I will keep them on Leash all times! We could go on walks or just about anything! I am always able to run out for potty breaks!

About: I’ve taken care of my parents dogs, they have always had two or three at a time, neighbors, friends, and also my chiropractors dogs for many years. I’ve cared for little dogs like chihuahuas as well as big dogs like Great Danes and mastiffs. I also have experience caring for senior pups that my parents and chiropractor had in the past. I work as a flight attendant and I’m looking to earn some extra money on the side and have the perk of playing with dogs on some of my days off. I can crate the dog if needed or keep them in a room when away or overnight. I would keep them on a leash if they like to wander and the yard is not fenced.
