Dog Walking in Loring Park, Minneapolis, MN

About: I've grown up with labs my whole life, training themI’ve been around dogs, especially Labs, pretty much my whole life—training and taking care of them is second nature to me. Because of that, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have a knack for connecting with animals, so they always seem to feel right at home with me. I currently only have a cat, which I feed every 12ish hours, and clean her box every other day. Enrichment toys and activities are fun for her too, but she's a cat, she calls the shots! I am dedicated to creating a comfortable and safe environment for any pet, and make sure to include activities and toys to make sure your pup has the time of their life while you're away.

“Emerson is awesome! Thank you so much for helping with my dog while I recover from surgery!!!”

“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”

“Alana has become part of my family!! She takes great care of my 70 pound hair ball. She is extremely communicative and always always goes above and beyond! Rita (my dog) loved her and when I come home from work I can tell she has been well taken care of. It gives me ease of mind knowing Rita is with her while I’m at work. c”

About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away

“Regina has been walking my dog three days a week for about a month now and she has been amazing. She’s reliable, responsible, on time and communicative. She’s also been flexible when my schedule has unexpectedly changed. I’ve never had to trust someone else with my dog before so I was a bit nervous hiring a dog walker, but Regina has been a huge help and I’m so glad I found her. I would definitely recommend Regina for your pet care needs.”

About: I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember, somewhere around 3 years old. While I'm just now going pro, I've often been the one friends and family trust to take care of their animals when needed. I've been through almost every scenario with pets, from the amazing to the emergent. Your pets are safe in my care and they'll be glad they met me. I work for myself, so I'm generally really flexible schedule wise. If I schedule a service with you I will be there, guaranteed. I'm punctual and work hard. I have experience walking dogs of all ages and needs, and can supply medication if necessary. While I can't bring any animals into my home, I'll make sure that yours is respected and treat it like my own.

“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 :)”

Ellen C.

“Amy was amazing with our AmStaff, Isla! She was patient and understanding of Isla's quirks and worked to make her comfortable and happy during their time together. Amy was prompt with communication and left us detailed notes and lots of photos after each of their walks together. We'd definitely book with her again.”

“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”

About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.

About: I am reliable to help care for your pet. I have done pet sitting and walking for clients for 5 years. I personally have a miniature poodle and a pug ♥️ I am able to take care of your pet any day of the week. I just need to know at least 3 days ahead of time before you need me. I provide care for pets in clients homes as well as take dogs on walks. I am able to check on your pet while you are at work. I can also stay at your home if needed on weekends.

About: I’ve watched family and friends dogs for years. I enjoy being the “go-to” person to watch their pets . Love caring for and playing with dogs, talking them on walks, and playing! I have some flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays . However, I can always do afternoons walks and care and availability full time on weekends. For longer I usually watch folks dogs in their home - if that’s the preference. If your puppy needs to be just walked and fed for just the day that’s also grand!

“Summer was timely, kind and responsible with our dog Piper’s walk! She sent picture updates and Piper was very happy and relaxed when we came home. We’ve already asked her to come back again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I'm extremely familiar with all aspects of pet care. I have also had hamsters, mice, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. I have a B.S. in Animal Science, so I'm well versed in animal health and behavior. I have two cats, and they're like my children, so I will certainly take great care of your fur babies! You won't have to worry about your pets being cooped up in the house all day while you're away or at work because I've got it under control! I work from home most days so my schedule is very flexible! Even on the days I’m working in the office, I have my own pets to care for, so I’m back home as soon as I can be! My pets run the house. I furnished and decorated my home with their comfort in mind! I dedicate energy to making sure my pets and yours have the right level of care, playtime, and comfort!

About: You'll be at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands when I meet them :) Since I've had pets most of my life- I truly understand the need to know that they are safe and well loved no matter who you they are with, and I guarantee that with me. I am an early riser and will get in a walk in the morning up to an hour depending on what the dog likes. After work, I take the dog out as soon as I'm home and am usually out for a while. I am a 10 minute drive to the lakes, and 10 minute walk to sculpture garde where I usually take the dogs for a walk over the weekends or in the evenings. I make sure to provide daily updates/photos. Full time employee who works in the office 3x week from 7:45am to 4:45pm, 2x work from home. I try to plan activities so that the dog can join me out and about. I live in a comfortable 1bedroom apartment by Loring Park and the Sculpture Garden. My building has a outdoor area for dogs to run around in but I typically walk around the area or lakes. Number one criteria for me is safety which is always guaranteed.

“Abe was great. Good communication, great pictures, and nice updates. Will book again”
