Dog Walking in Loring Park, Minneapolis

“Nyree took amazing care of my fur baby and was very attentive. It’s hard to trust a stranger with your baby but Nyree made me feel very comfortable and at ease and I knew my pup was in good hands.”

“Xan was incredible! She stayed in close communication and all the little extras I asked. She was also patient with my tech problems. Highly recommend!”

“Gabrielle did a fantastic job getting my dog on a couple walks to break up my long day at my sisters wedding. My dog was happy and well cared for when I came home, and Gabrielle gave updates with photos so I knew my dog was good throughout the day.”

“Alana is fantastic. She is so very sweet and understanding. She made sure Rocky got all the attention and care he needed. Thanks for being super communicative and sending me all the really great pictures of my boy!”

“Amelia is a great caretaker for our boy Roscoe. He is so excited to see her, and really loves the time spent with her. I would highly recommend Amelia for anyone who needs a walker or a sitter!”

“Amy is great - my 2 large retrievers really like her and are very excited when she comes to walk them. They are kind of psycho sometimes and each have very different personalities and she takes it all in stride. We’ve only worked with her for about a month but I appreciate her flexibility and her ease with big dogs. I hope to continue working together and would highly recommend Amy!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats (and rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.). I had a Chihuahua-Rat Terrier of my own for nearly 10 years and have lived with Shih Tzu, Bichon Frisé, Poolies, labs, and other mix breeds. I have always had at least one cat since I was young and have cherished animals since I was a small child. I love cats and dogs and am able to connect with animals to make them feel comfortable in the absence of their primary caregivers. I'd love to meet and care for your fur babies! I work from home with a fully flexible schedule. I have an 8-year-old rescue cat from Mexico who is fine around dogs. I live in a large one-bedroom apartment in a 4-plex on the first floor (good for older dogs if stairs are a problem), and have a large fully fenced-in yard. I'm happy to watch your smallish dog during the day or overnight. I live a few blocks from Lake Bde Maka Ska in the Calhoun Isles area, low low-traffic streets and wide sidewalks for dog walking (depending on snow, of course!). Doggy Daycare: I will cater to your pet's needs. I have a dog bed next to my desk, or on my lap if they fit. If we were to set up a regular schedule, I have space to store food, dog bed, etc. so there would be no need to haul items back and forth every time. I do not keep toys or treats at home since all dogs have different diets and preferences. I'm happy to send as many pics throughout the day as you'd like! For cat check-ins: I love cats and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I will clean litter box(es), feed according to schedule, change water, play with them and cuddle (depending on their comfort). I can water plants and/or collect mail, etc.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with 2 dogs, a Labrador and Weenie-Mix, so I have experience with dogs of varying sizes. I have cared for rabbits and small birds, and have spent a lot of time around cats! I would love to take your pet for a walk and play, or drop-in for a check-in! My availability may look somewhat limiting, but I am typically available Monday through Thursday after 4:15; Friday after 3:15; and most of the day on the weekends. Your pet's happiness and well-being is of the upmost importance to me. I thank you for trusting me in your home and with the responsibility of caring for you pet.

“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.”

“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!”

Kathleen L.

“I highly recommend Regina. My husband and I were so pleased by her excellent communication and care for our dog as well as her flexibility with our schedule and her kind and friendly nature. She is the best!”

Laurie K.

“Erin responds very promptly and is open with her availability! i have a big german shepherd so im always picky with who i look through to walk him, but she’s amazing. She’s great with dog body language and sensed my pup wanted to go back out real quick and took care of him. I definitely look forward to more walks with her in the future!”

Dallas M.

“Super helpful on such short notice!”

About: I've been pet sitting for over 12 years, and it was actually my very first—and favorite—job. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. Over the years, I've pet sat for more than 25 families, caring for dogs, cats, small animals (hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits), and fish tanks. I also gained hands-on experience specifically with reptiles and aquariums while working at PetSmart, which deepened my knowledge of their care needs. Whether your pet is furry, scaly, or swims, I'm confident and comfortable giving them the attention they deserve. My schedule is currently very flexible. I am available any day of the week. Whether you need an mid-day visit, or a early/late drop in, I will make it work. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while their people are away. I follow all instructions closely—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, administering medications, or just spending quality time together. I also take time to get to know each pet’s personality, so I can give them the kind of attention and care they respond best to—whether that’s play, calm companionship, or a bit of both. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease.

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 a professional dog bather, with a space equipped for dog grooming at my home, so I would be happy to provide a complimentary dog bath upon request. I also have experience administering medications and some pharmacy schooling to supplement my medication knowledge for any dogs with special care needs. I'm available anytime except from 8 am-1:30 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I have a free summer with school being out, so boarding is available anytime! I have a very friendly cat-dog (cat who thinks she is a dog) who is obsessed with dogs. She's lived with dogs and always makes sure her guests have a great stay. I have a fenced dog area attached to my building, and a big park as my backyard if your dog is adventurous!

About: I started on Rover about 6 years ago after leaving my job at a doggy daycare, then decided to take a break while working as a veterinary technician for the past 4 years. When working in a clinic setting I primarily handled patients undergoing anesthesia, but also worked closely with doctors providing care to patients as young as a few weeks up to 20+ years of age. This position taught me how to administer medications, safely handle animals, clean up biohazards, and enjoy working with a wide array of breeds. I recently made the tough decision to leave the veterinary world in order to pursue a degree in a different field, allowing me to return to Rover where I learned to love working closely with clients and animals in their own homes. I am comfortable working with any breed (dogs and cats!) of any activity level, and am looking forward to meeting your special friends! I am currently available all summer prior to school starting up this fall, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your kiddos! While I am not able to board any animals at my home at this time, I am extremely comfortable dropping by your home multiple times a day to ensure your animals are getting the attention they need.

“Our dog joined the family just a couple months ago and this was our first time using Rover and we absolutely loved it. I am so glad this exists and Juliana was awesome. Friendly and consistent, our shy dog spirit loved going for walks with her. I’m a protective mama and I felt very comfortable with the whole thing ❤️❤️❤️”

About: I've taken care of dogs in some form or another my whole life. I grew up with a Rottweiler and a Lab, and had them until they passed when I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their dogs for the past 15 ish years. I'm not currently set up to have dogs at my home, but often dog & house sit for friends and family. I took some time away from Rover as I was traveling and moving, but now that I'm settled in Minneapolis I'm ready to help and care for pups here! Please note, I'm allergic to cats, so I cannot house sit if there are any cats in the home. I have a very flexible schedule, as I'm a freelance social media manager. I'm available for walks or to let pups out for bathroom breaks throughout the day, up until about 8 pm on weekdays. I'm very respectful and clean when I go into someone's home and stay overnight. I'll leave any spaces I use cleaner than I found them, and will make sure to stick to any specific routines your pets have. If I'm only coming to grab your pup and walk, I'll check on their food & water as well.

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!
