Dog Walkers in Maple Lake, MN

“Austin was great! He clearly loves dogs. He was friendly and professional.”

Laurie N.

About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.

“Malaya is amazing! Caring and does not mind our very vocal Coonhound. Walks, treats and loves for our fur baby! Would recommend Malaya 100%!”

About: I grew up on a farm where animals were my first friends. I’ve had pets my whole life and as a parent, my kids quickly learned that I could never say no when they wanted a pet. We’ve had fish, cockatiels, hamsters, parakeets, guinea pigs, cats, and a variety of dogs in our home. We currently have a cat and two German Shepherds. My weekends are mostly wide open and I’m available any time during weekdays since I’m off during the summers. I would love to help take care of your furry friends! I am a teacher so I’m available any time during the summer and usually wide open on weekends for drop-in visits or dog walk dates. I am unable to watch your dogs in my own home, however. I would just need a day or two notice. I am very dependable and trustworthy. I would be happy to come to your home, play and cuddle with your pets, give them a break from their crate, feed them, walk them, play outside, etc… whatever you need to make your life easier and your pet’s life better!

“Paige did a wonderful job with Ruby and I really liked that she took time to meet us and Ruby before the walk. I hope to hire Paige again to walk Ruby. Paige seems to really love animals and care about them. She was on time and did a little training along with the walk.”

I am available generally at a moments notice and can accommodate to your pets specific schedule to cause as little stress as possible.

I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I work mostly nights, so I have plenty of downtime during day time hours.

About: I have been dog sitting for 16 years. I have three dogs and one cat. I have loved animals my whole life and have always had one. My goal is to make your furry baby feel right at home while I am there. I work a part time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other weekend from 11 am - 4 pm. I'll feed your dog or cat in the morning and in the evening along with several small treats throughout the day. I'll pet them, comb them and give them lots and lots of love! Looking for a drop-in visit? I will spend our time playing and rough housing, combing their fur or just hanging out with lots of pets and love! How about a walk on your dog's favorite route or even go to his/hers favorite dog park and have some fun? I'll take care of them and get some that pent up energy out that they may have. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. Please let me know and we can set up a initial visit with myself, you and your pets too. I look forward to taking care of your pets. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can take them for walks, comb them and play with them or just cuddle on the couch and love on them. I let your pet come to me. I know they all have their own little personalities and when they are ready, they will come to you when they feel they can trust you. I have a special little dog just like that! If they feel safe in their kennel while I am gone, I will put them there and if they want to cuddle, I will do that too.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for most of my life, from daily walks and play time, to giving meds and cuddles. I treat every pet like my own I currently work two part time jobs so my schedule is very flexible. And I want to stay active and fill up some free time. Let’s find a time that works for both of us! In my home pets are treated like family. They get plenty of love, attention and play time. And I will try to keep your pets routines as close to normal as possible.

About: I have had a lifetime (literally) of experience with pets. From the time I was born until current I have had dogs and have even helped with farm animals and cats. I have experience caring for healing/injured dogs, dogs with limited mobility, seniors, and dogs with anxiety. I have trained dogs from basic training to crate and potty training. I am a stay at home mom which gives me quite a bit of extra time throughout the week to be able to care for your pets. My home has a fenced in yard and I have two friendly dogs who like to play (or nap on the couch). I am in a calm neighborhood which makes great for walks.

About: I’ve had family pets as long as I can remember, cats and dogs. Currently have the chillest cat I’ve ever seen. The whole family loves animals. I work as a teacher. Weekends are always open. Summer is completely open, home anytime. Great yard for animals to play, no backyard neighbors either 1/2 acre yard. I have a clean and orderly home to easily let pets feel not threatened or overwhelmed. Big back yard and trails, sidewalks to get out on. Park across the street as well. Quiet, secluded neighborhood.

About: Pet Care Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, fostered dogs, and worked professionally as a supervisor in a dog and cat boarding/daycare facility. There, I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including reactive pups—and was trained in K9 body language and behavior. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my ability to handle challenging situations calmly, and my genuine love for spending time with animals—whether it’s playing tug, going for a run, or just laying in the sun. I’m also experienced with senior care and puppy needs, and always keep safety and communication with pet parents a top priority. My flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever your furry family member needs a little extra attention or playtime! I am currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible and consistent schedule. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I'm already home and used to managing multiple responsibilities. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing extra attention and care, I’m able to give pets the time and love they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and any specific needs or health concerns. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment that’s clean, secure, and free of hazards. I provide structure, supervision, and plenty of affection to help pets feel calm and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their care instructions closely to ensure consistency and reduce stress. I respect the space, keep communication open, and always update owners with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and safe.
