Dog Walkers in Mahtomedi, MN

“Rylan is awesome! She really loves animals and it’s very apparent just talking with her! She is a highly recommended walker or for other services!”

“Gavin did a SUPER job with our 2-1/2 year old red lab, Ruby! Gavin obviously loves dogs, and Ruby took a shining to Gavin. Gavin always arrived promptly and sent us great photos of Ruby on her walks! We definitely plan on asking Gavin to walk Ruby in the future!”

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.

“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”

About: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.

About: Hi! My name is Meredith, a devoted canine enthusiast and dedicated dog walker based near St.Paul, MN! With over ten years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes, I’m committed to giving your pup the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My dog Sven loves walks, and together we have dabbled in barn hunt and agility, as well as obedience classes. My 30-minute walks are tailored to your pup’s energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or an energetic jaunt. I prioritize safety, fun, and personalized care, ensuring your dog comes back happy and ready for a nap. As a reliable and trustworthy walker, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes from our walks. Book with me today! Starting August 11th I go back to school so my schedule will be different. I do not start work until mid morning so I like to do a morning walk and another after dinner if the weather is nice. I have a fenced-in yard and two smaller, friendly dogs that love to play. When the weather allows, there are great areas to walk dogs in my neighborhood.

About: I have years of dog sitting and walking experience. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, including pups who may be a little feisty on a leash. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or full house sitting/boarding, I treat every dog like my own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them great care while you’re away! Feel free to message me with any questions. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and head into the office Tuesday through Thursday. This gives me excellent flexibility for early morning walks before work, evening drop-ins or walks after the office, plus plenty of availability during the day on Mondays/Fridays, weekends, and overnights. I am happy to provide care for your pet based on your preferences. On leash walks, playing in your yard, staying at your home, etc.

“Thank you for being so amazing to Jedi!”

About: I love dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds and personalities. I grew up with both a Westie and an American Pit Bull Terrier, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to more relaxed companions. I’m happy to do long walks, playtime, and care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels at any time of day. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and sick dogs, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or something more specific, I’m flexible and happy to help however I can — just let me know what you need! *Lady, the American Pitbull Terrier listed on my profile, does not live in my home. I currently have a dog-free household* I have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide services at any time of day just let me know what you need and I can be available! My focus is on making each walk a positive and enriching experience for the pets in my care, fostering a sense of trust, joy, and exercise. When caring for pets on walks, my approach revolves around their safety, well-being, and enjoyment. I prioritize keeping them on a secure leash, ensuring their comfort with proper equipment, and maintaining a watchful eye for any potential hazards. Regular water breaks are provided, especially on hot days, and I adjust the pace of the walk to match their energy levels. Every pet is unique, so I adapt to their preferences, whether it's a brisk urban stroll, a leisurely park visit, or interactive playdates with fellow dogs. And of course I am happy to provide picture updates :)

About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of animals since as far back as I can remember. I have done various pet sitting and house sitting jobs over the years, a roommate with a dog and I have my own cat. I am comfortable in the city and the country. Pet owners have commented many times that their pet warms up to me faster than other people. I am a nurse during the day, so it is in my nature to pay attention to details and be a caregiver of both the human and furry variety. I split my time between the eastern side of the metro and Western Wisconsin. My day job hours are flexible in the summer and often work remote, which leaves me more opportunities for house and pet sitting. I sometimes have my two teenage sons stay with me that love animals and are kind and respectful. Depending on your comfort level, I sometimes work as a team with my boyfriend and his service dog. His service dog gets along with other dogs. My boyfriend is also on Rover and trains dogs. We all would be more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if you were open to these visitors. I believe in basic trust and honesty, and making you and your pet as comfortable as possible. I am a good communicator that can follow a plan, but that is also flexible and adaptable to the needs of a pet or family. I like to make sure that everyone is on the same page with expectations and daily communication when caring for your pet or home. Something that carries over from my nursing background is I will leave you a detailed log of what happened while your beloved pet(s) were in my care, to give an extra layer of peace of mind.

“Jeff and his wife were great and really helped us out when nobody else was available. They even came by for a free visit to meet Rudy and make sure it was a good fit!”

“Martha was GREAT! Her communication and follow through were prompt and excellent. I came home to very happy dogs. I will definitely book her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets so I know how important their care is and how unique every animals needs are. I have experience with many different types of dogs (Saint Bernard, Great Dane, German Shepard, corgi, collie, pit bull, bulldog, etc). I’ve had cats all my life of different temperaments so I know how to respect their boundaries and keep them happy. My family’s had rabbits, fish, chinchillas, lizards. I just moved up to white bear lake and don’t have main job yet so my schedule is free. I can show up whenever I’m needed. I treat every animal uniquely because I know not all of them are the same. I respect their boundaries and will personalize my care to them. If an animal is shy I will not try to force them to interact with me. If an animal has a lot of energy I like to play with them to give them stimulus and tire them out.

About: I have been a dog groomer for over 5 years, and am looking for a way to get more time working with animals. I have been working with animals as a petsitter for 15 years (from dogs and cats to reptiles and fish), and owned my own pets longer then that. I currently own a dog, two cats, some fish, a hermit crab and train/spoil two horses for a rescue organization. In the past ive also owned guinea pigs, hamsters and crayfish. I especially love working with special needs and nervous animals who need a calm handler. I have experience bathing, training, socializing, caring for, and walking animals in my local shelters. I also have a degree in animal science, so i am up to date with the current science of animal care. Whatever you are looking for, im happy to help. Currently i make my schedule as needed. I groom dogs when i can but in my free time am looking to pick up any time you may wish to book with me. Give me a few days in advance and i can usually make time to help you out. Pets in my home will be given three outings a day as long as the weather allows. These may be walks, dog park trips, field trips to pet stores, hikes, etc. Whatever you are comfortable with. More potty breaks if needed or asked. My current dog gets fed twice a day but i can follow your own schedule for your pups. Im pretty flexible, just let me know what you prefer. My apartment already has a dog and two cats, so animals staying at my place must be friendly. If i care for your dog at your home, just let me know what you are looking for. I can usually move my schedule around to give your dog the care you wish for. I love my pets like family, so never feel like you are asking too much when it comes for your pets care, I know how important they are

I create a calm environment with plenty of affection, attention, and care tailored to your pet’s needs.

About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats. Experience with both. We lost our dog in March so our house is feeling empty right now and would love to have your fur baby over to keep us company. I am also available for walks or drop ins in the evenings and weekends. I currently work full time, usually 8-4. I can come home on my lunch break for potty breaks. I only work 7 mins from home. I do have a 7 year old daughter that is in the home as well. We have a fenced in yard that is great for dogs to run. We also have a lot of windows and bird feeders for cats to sit and watch the birdies.

“Carolyn is very responsive and flexible. She did a great job walking and taking care of our puppy.”

About: I've had lots of experience with a wide variety of dogs from family pets to working with Wag! I have a 8 month old German Shepard/Lab, Opal, so I am comfortable with puppies and high energy breeds. I also have experience caring for senior animals. I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I am mostly available for weekend care but can do walks & check ins during the week if I bring my youngest with me. I am open to boarding and other care during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard for lots of fetch & play time. We love walks & hiking so lots of opportunities for exercise, fun & bonding with the dogs. I also have experience with crating if that is necessary.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 16 years and recently experienced the loss of my beloved dachshund, which inspired me to continue sharing my love and care with dogs. I enjoy helping neighbors with pet care, taking dogs on walks, and spending quality time with a furry friend. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and available for drop in and dog walking to help provide peace of mind and consistent care. I'm currently working Full time in a Hybrid remote position. I'm available for House Sitting Thursday-Sunday, with the flexibility of a work from home environment for added companionship and care.

I prioritize trust and communication by following all care instructions carefully, keeping homes clean and secure, and providing updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and regularly help neighbors, friends, and family with pet sitting and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I work full-time but maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate daily drop-ins, walks, and overnight care when needed. Pet care is built into my routine — caring for my own animals is the first and last part of every day. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I communicate clearly about availability. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of secure space for supervised outdoor play. Inside, I have hardwood floors and an open layout with room for pets to relax comfortably. I have two crates available if needed and maintain structured areas for feeding, water, rest, and play. Safety, supervision, and routine are my top priorities, and I ensure pets are monitored and comfortable at all times.
