“Sophie has been an extremely reliable dog walker for our pup over the past 5 months! She was great at managing his high energy levels and figuring out a play/walk routine that worked well for them both. We are very grateful for her services!”


“Addison has been a lifesaver when it comes to finding a reliable walker for our pet. She is caring and responsible and Percy always looks forward to his walks with her. Highly recommended!”

About: I grew up with rescue cats and dogs. My family has adopted puppies, behaviorally challenging, and senior dogs! I am a veterinarian (currently in the wildlife field) who does not have pets of her own, but would love to take care of yours! I work full-time, 40-50 hours a week. My schedule varies so I may have one week with weekdays off and the next with weekends. My start times also vary, with potential for walks in the mornings. I have a fenced area to walk dogs outside of my apartment building, but am also happy to stay at your place if that is more comfortable for your pet.

About: What sets me apart is how personally I care for the pets I look after. I have three beloved cats back home in Brazil, and I’ve also had three dogs and another cat who were part of my life and are now in my heart. Being around animals makes me feel happier and helps ease the homesickness I feel being away from my own. I treat every pet as if they were mine — with patience, kindness, and full attention to their needs. Whether it's giving medication, helping with a bath, or just making sure they get the love and playtime they deserve, I’m always present and gentle. Animals bring me peace, and I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and understood while you're away. I’m a PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, and my schedule is very flexible. I often work from home either all day or part of the day. That means I can easily fit pet care into my routine, whether it’s staying with your pet, stopping by for visits, or going on walks. I live in a one-bedroom apartment, so to make sure pets get plenty of exercise and stimulation, I take dogs on frequent walks and spend quality indoor playtime with any cats I’m caring for at home. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in your home or mine, I focus on giving each pet the attention and care they need, adapting to their routines and personalities to keep them happy.

“Athena is incredible. Otis loves her! She is friendly, warm, attentive and very good at communicating. Highly recommend working with Athena! She will love on your animals as if they were her own.”



“We did a meet and greet and I was delighted to learn she cares for other pets in my neighborhood. Lucia has been so helpful walking my puppy Willow when I have long work days away from home. Highly recommend”


About: I care for pets at every stage of life—whether it’s raising playful little ones, comforting seniors, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved! I have very open availability throughout the month of August and can be flexible based on your needs to ensure your pets get the best care. I care for pets with lots of attention, love, and respect. I follow each pet’s unique routine, including feeding, playtime, exercise, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to keep their space clean and secure while providing companionship and comfort. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for just like they would with their family.

About: With 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and preferences. From energetic puppies to senior dogs with special care requirements, I ensure that each dog I care for receives the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’m experienced in providing daily walks, playtime, and feeding, and I’m comfortable with administering medications or following specific care instructions. I know how important it is to maintain a routine, so I always make sure to follow your dog’s schedule and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. In addition to my extensive dog care experience, I am also competent in caring for a variety of other animals, including cats, rodents, birds, and even farm animals. Whether you have small pets or a whole menagerie, I’m equipped to handle the diverse needs of your furry, feathered, or hooved family members. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, short play sessions, or just snuggling up on the couch, I’m committed to keeping them happy and healthy while you’re away. I’m also happy to send you regular updates with photos and videos so you can rest easy knowing your pets are in great hands. I have a flexible work schedule so I can fit pet care into my daily/weekly routine. I work in Minneapolis so I can sneak away from work if needed for potty breaks etc. My home isn’t suitable for housing pets as I rent but I am willing to travel to a clients home or even stay the night if necessary! I treat every animal with the utmost care and love.

About: I grew up with dogs, and currently have my own dog and cat that are my world. I treat every animal as if they are my own! I have open availability throughout the week and weekends for house sitting/pet sitting, as well as drop in visits for potty breaks or whatever else your pet may need! I have experience with both big dogs and little dogs, as well as cats. I can take them for walks, play with them, administer medication, feed them, etc. Pretty much whatever they need!

About: I've been taking care of the neighborhood dogs since I was 13! My jobs have included anything from a twice-daily feeding and walk to regular check-ins and overnight stays! An owner of a dog and two cats myself, I look forward to spending any amount of time with your pups:) I currently have full availability to take care of your pups! I'm an early riser and very active, so I can accommodate whatever exercise (or even lack thereof) your pet needs. I'll stick to a comfortable, consistent routine for your pet and make sure they get all the proper attention and love needed while you are gone, and I'm happy to accommodate various medication or feeding requirements and schedules!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Growing up, my family had a dog, and I helped with feeding, walking, and making sure he always felt loved and happy. Later on, I owned a dog with my ex-boyfriend for about two years and still take care of him when needed. I was very involved in raising him from a puppy through his adolescent years, including consistent training, socialization, and lots of playtime. I have experience with basic obedience training, crate training, leash manners, and helping young dogs build confidence. Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy or a laid-back senior, I’m comfortable adapting to their unique personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently a grad student, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate quality time to pet care. On weekdays, I’m usually available after 12 PM, and I have open availability most weekends. This allows me to plan visits, walks, and overnight stays around your pet’s needs without feeling rushed. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love spending my free time making sure your dog feels happy, exercised, and well cared for. When I’m house sitting or visiting your home for walks, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed in their own environment. I follow your routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. For walks, I always use secure leashes and pay attention to your dog’s comfort and energy level, whether they love a brisk stroll or prefer a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood. During house sitting, I keep your home tidy, provide plenty of companionship, and send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel cared for and loved, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

She’s currently a hard working student in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the U of M.
