Dog Walkers in Hugo, MN

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life and absolutely love them! My family has had lots of dogs from pit bulls to huskies and german shepherds. I currently have a 2 year old pomsky named Shiloh- he is super friendly and would love to meet your pup! I am currently working from home which makes me available to pet-sit at my apartment anytime, and lots of free time to take care of pups at your house as well! I live across the street from a park with a big field and a trail for walking dogs. I don’t have a fenced in yard or a crate, but I will 100% be able to walk them with a leash!

“Jeff was great. He came over for a meet and great prior to our trip to meet Bailey. He was super personable and friendly. Would definitely use him for walks again. Thanks so much!”

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth — a full-time, work-from-home dog mom living in a beautiful, wooded setting with trails right outside our door. Dogs in my care enjoy fresh air, frequent walks, and a calm, loving home environment. I’m outside with the pups multiple times a day — whether it’s structured exercise, supervised playtime, or a slow sniff-and-stroll for our senior friends. We have a sweet, social 2-year-old Standard Poodle who gets along with everyone — from rambunctious puppies to mellow old souls. My husband also works from home, which means your dog will never be left alone and always has an extra set of hands. I have experience with all ages and stages — from crate training curious puppies to providing gentle support for older dogs and administering medications (oral and topical). I follow feeding and care routines to the letter, and I’m always happy to provide updates, pics, or videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just need a reliable day-to-day helping hand, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, play, and a whole lot of love. I work from home full-time, so I’m with the dogs all day — not just “checking in,” but truly present. We go on multiple walks each day, explore nearby trails, and take plenty of breaks for play, snuggles, and outside time. My own dog thrives with this routine, and I love extending that same level of care to the pets I host. Whether it’s managing medications, reinforcing training, or simply being a calm, consistent presence, pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a calm, structured, and loving environment with plenty of time outdoors I follow your pet’s routines closely: feeding schedules, meds, crate time, and any house rules you use at home. Dogs are never left alone for more than a few hours (both my husband and I work from home), and we keep a close eye on how everyone’s adjusting — especially first-timers, puppies, or older pets who need extra support.

About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.

“Martha was available on short notice and has done a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She is always, prompt and responsive and has become our got to dog walker!”

About: Life long pet owner, foster and caregiver. I’ve trained puppies and provided end of life care for senior dogs. Very comfortable with large dogs and even angry cats because they need love too. Comfortable giving medication as well. I work from home with a very flexible daytime schedule. I am available until 5pm daily. Would be open to chatting about scheduling if more care was needed. I have a large fenced in yard, and a friendly cat. We have lots of toys and a little dog pool. I am clean and respectful when entering your home. I enjoy a long walk almost as much as our furry friends.

About: I’ve been walking and running my own dogs for years. Decided it would be a nice part time job for me. I have recently moved from south Mpls to White Bear Lake and would love to add a pup or two to my weekly walks/jogs. I'm semi retired and have plenty of time this summer to walk your pup(s). I like to jog too so if your dog is more energetic I can do that as well. I have two dogs of my own. I am no longer living in my home so miss walking/running my pups. I have a fenced in yard and both my dogs are micro chipped.

About: I have always been a pet lover; I've had pets my whole life. Including cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and even rats! I have experience dog/cat sitting with my Mom who was a vet tech for 25 years. I currently have a Crested Gecko, a Pac-man Frog, a White’s Tree Frog, a PitX, and 2 kittens! I’m currently available every day, with the exception of Wednesdays and Sundays from 6 PM to 8 PM due to family commitments. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! The safety and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. I maintain clear communication with owners, offering regular updates and photos of your pet’s adventures. By understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs, I create a trusting bond. I approach every walk with care and attention, ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and excited to get out for their daily exercise.

About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, from large farm animals like cows and horses to household pets including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My background includes working with both family pets and farm animals, giving me experience with different temperaments, routines, and care needs. In addition to my professional and educational experience, I also raise and care for my own animals, including rabbits, poultry, dogs, and cats. I am currently pursuing a B.S. in Animal Science with a minor in Histotechnology, along with a dual major in Canine Management and Training. My education has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, handling, and proper care techniques. In addition to my schooling, I was involved in 4-H for 10 years and FFA for 6 years, where I gained extensive experience in animal husbandry, responsibility, and daily animal care. I have also worked as a kennel assistant in a veterinary hospital and as a stable hand at a horse rescue ranch, where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, exercise, monitoring animal health, and providing compassionate care. I am also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my combination of real-world animal experience, formal education, and genuine passion for animal care. I am comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I strive to provide safe, patient, and reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident. I am currently a college student home for the summer, looking to stay busy. I work as a softball coach on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, as well as weekends. While I am not coaching, I am looking to spend my time with animals. Pets in my care are treated like family, and their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. At my home, we have 20 wooded acres with plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy supervised leash walks or long-line walks, depending on their needs and the owner’s preference. I always make sure pets are safely handled and closely supervised at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions to make sure each pet gets the care they are used to. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and genuine love I give every animal. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs since I was seven years old, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I am the type of person who throws my own dog extravagant birthday parties, and I truly believe animals are family. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and fish, and I am comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether that means being playful and active with younger pets or patient and gentle with senior animals, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I also understand how important communication and trust are when leaving a pet in someone else’s care, so I make it a priority to keep owners updated and give them peace of mind. ’m currently looking for a summer job and have lots of availability, which means I can be flexible and fully present for your pet’s needs. Since I already care for my own pets daily, including walks, playtime, feeding, and training, pet care is naturally part of my everyday routine. I love spending time with animals, and I’m excited to help other pet parents feel at ease while they’re away! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them like I would my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. I follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe and comfortable in their normal environment. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, going on their favorite walking route, or just spending time with them so they’re not lonely, I do my best to help them feel at ease. I also make sure to be respectful of your home and leave things just as I found them. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your pet and be in your space, and I take that seriously.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for years. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’ve taken care of older pets in addition to giving eye drops and oral medication to cats and dogs. I have a cat at home so I am used to her routine and am easily able to fit your pet into my routine as well! I am willing and available to watch your pets. I do work second shift during the week but very available on the weekends. I have an upstairs and basement with plenty of room for our cat, Raven to run and play. She loves to lay on my yoga mat I have out in the living room. We have her litter box in the basement and plenty of toys for her.

About: I had my first dog when I was 7 years old, I was helping my dad to train my dog. I was responsible for his walks, food, etc. After my first dog experience, I’ve decided that animals make me so happy. I had 8-10 senior/young dogs that I took care of. I also had four cats that I was taking care of. Some birds, fish, turtles, horses… I genuinely love spending time with animals I am currently in college full time, we can always schedule a week ahead to make sure if I have enough time for your dog! Unfortunately I won’t be able to take your dog to my house for nights but I can take them during the day. I have fenced backyard that your animals can have their own space and have fun!

About: I provide a loving pet friendly home with a large fenced in yard for the pets to relax, run, play and sun bathe :) I have a very friendly Boston terrier who loves cats and dogs alike. She would love to have a friend to visit and cuddle with! I work from home Monday and Friday, and am home most weekends! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I am gone for a few hours during the day.
