Dog Walking Maple Plain

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little, in my household I was responsible for, feeding, bathing, walking, and caring for them. I will be freelancing over the summer so I have lots of time to care for your animals! I am free on the weekends and during the weekdays! I have experience crating dogs and keeping an eye on them to make sure of their safety. I have walked all different sizes of dog as well.

“We cannot thank Lindsay enough for taking such wonderful care of our dog while we were away! It’s always hard to leave our pup, but Lindsay gave us total peace of mind by sending daily photos and updates. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog who clearly loved Lindsay. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive, and loving pet sitter, she is the best. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Hi there, my name is Savannah! I’m a dental hygiene student with a flexible schedule; I have three dogs and an orange kitty of my own. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!

About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have cared for an elderly dog who required daily medication, had significant vision loss, and was a very picky eater. She preferred a very consistent routine. I have also cared for a younger, energetic dog who loved to play, needed plenty of exercise, and had mischievous streak. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

About: I was 9 years old when I first started staying home alone to watch my own pets. Soon after, friends, family, and neighbors started coming to me to look after their pets. While I'm not trained in anything, I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and will love them no matter what. I have a lot of free time, so whenever you need a pet sitter, I am here! I am very good with communicating so if any changes are needed or you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Depending on your rules, guidelines, and expectations, your pet will be cared for to the best of my ability. Whether it is playing with them and taking them on walks, or just simply sitting with them and letting them outside to go potty, they will be loved unconditionally.

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a part of your family. As a dog owner myself, I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience with puppies, crate training, leash walking, feeding schedules, basic commands, tricks, and providing lots of exercise and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. My goal is simple: give your dog a fun, safe experience and give you confidence that they’re in good hands. I especially enjoy working with puppies and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement. Dogs are already a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner, my schedule is built around walks, training, playtime, feeding routines, and providing consistent care. I’m actively pursuing opportunities in the dog care and training field, so I genuinely enjoy spending time working with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, reinforcement of good habits, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive and reliable care. Safety, structure, and positive experiences are my top priorities. I’m currently expanding my knowledge in dog behavior and training with the goal of building a career in the dog care industry. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, triggers, and training goals so I can provide consistent care that matches what they’re used to at home. As a dog owner and someone interested in dog training, I believe in positive reinforcement, patience, and clear communication. I closely supervise dogs during walks, playtime, and interactions, and I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and using crates when requested. I also provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. Growing up, my parents brought home not one, but two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Olive and Winnie. As they’ve gotten older, I’ve gained experience providing the extra care that senior dogs often need. Winnie is diabetic, so I am comfortable administering insulin and monitoring her health. She is also deaf, which has taught me the importance of staying attentive and adapting communication to meet her needs. Olive has only a few teeth left, so I’ve helped adjust her diet by softening her kibble with broth to make mealtimes easier and more comfortable for her. Caring for both dogs has given me firsthand experience with senior dogs, special-needs pets, medication administration, and the patience and attention required to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am a teacher currently on summer break and working part time at caribou coffee, so I will have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting! I am available every day of the week, and alternating weekends. Whenever I am caring for a pet, I treat them as if they are my own. I have a lot of experience with dogs and dog sitting, as I have two family dogs, and have dogsat in the past

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.

About: Hello, Pet Parents. My name is Cory, and I'm going to tell you a bit about myself! I've always been involved with animals in my life and have had many pets! I've had 3 dogs, mice, hamsters, and even a frog! Not only have I had pets, but I've had past experiences with pets and pet owners, and here are some as follows! ————————————————————— Experience: Worked for an adoption center where I took care of dogs and cats. Dog walking Pet sitting Many animal based classes Currently working at a board and train facility Training/Fostering a soon to be police dog that will be stationed at a middle school and helping with tracking cases ————————————————————— If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your fuzzy little friends whenever needed! I'll always talk to you about openings in my schedule that fit with yours! I have a couple pets, a Sheprador which is a German Shepherd and Labrador mix named George, and a hamster named Baba. I feed my dog George twice a day making sure to let him outside right after, I regularly brush him because he just doesn't stop shedding, I wash him every other month so he doesn't get stinky, give him all of his medication for his allergies, and just giving him constant attention such as walks! Baba gets fed once a day with a healthy balance of veggies, fruits, seeds, and original food. I clean his cage every 1 to 2 weeks depending how it looks and/or if it stinks, and finally I regularly take him out of his cage to pet him and let him run around in his ball! George and Baba get along haha! Plus a new member being Chunk a little lab puppy!

About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂

About: Hi. My name is Carrie. I love all kind of animals. I have 2 cats right now. I used to have a hampster. I grew up having rodents. I never owned a dog but i sure love them. I used to live with a couple of dogs in thr past but they wasn't mine. I used help take the dogs for walks though and fed them as if they was my own dogs. I love walking them. I love playing with them. Like balls, freezbie. I live in a apartment building and am only allowed to have to pets that live me anyways. I can however babysit as many as pets like other cats or even dogs as i want. There is no rule on that. I just love animals all together. So feel free to message me if you are interested P.S. Just so you know I can't drive but I take metro mobility. I hope that is not a problem. Also, I have found out that i can't have anymore animals that aren't mine so I would have to travel to the Guest's house to watch their pets. I hope that is fine with everyone. I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I’m happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you’re away.

“Neha was absolutely amazing! I had just moved to a new neighborhood and was looking for someone to give my miniature golden retriever, Leia, dinner, a walk, and some extra belly rubs. Unfortunately, I forgot to update my address in the Rover app, so Neha ended up driving all the way to my old house across the Twin Cities. When she arrived, she noticed that the house didn’t match the photos and instructions I had provided and kindly reached out to me. I was out of town and didn’t see her message for over 30 minutes. I was horrified when I realized my mistake, especially since I was hours away and couldn’t do anything to help. Neha could not have been more gracious and understanding. Despite the inconvenience that I caused, she generously offered to drive to my new home and still take care of Leia. She spent extra time with her, gave her dinner, took her for a walk, and made sure my princess got plenty of love and attention. I am incredibly grateful for Neha’s kindness, flexibility, and patience. She truly went above and beyond, and it meant so much to me. Leia was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely choose Neha again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with pets!”

About: I have always loved animals, whether it be a mouse or a horse. I also love to help people out, especially with dogs and cats. I’ve babysat one dog long-term (about 6 months), and I have been babysitting the same dog for about 2 years, since he was a 8 week old puppy. I also had a dog who passed away a few years ago, and had to take care of her in her senior years and help her get up as she had hip problems. In between dog-sitting, I did babysit dogs for a week, and usually wouldn’t mix dogs unless owners were okay with it. (these owners were from my work or teachers from my high school). I am currently attending college in Duluth. However, I do come home quite a bit Fridays-Mondays. In the summer, I will be very flexible though! I take dogs out on leashes as it makes me feel most comfortable but fenced in yards while watching the dog also makes me feel comfy as well.

About: I have cared for animals since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have asked me to petsit, walk, bath and help care for their animals. I can care for puppies/kittens to seniors and everyone in-between. I rely on positive reinforcement for training. I can administer medications, trim nails and other care required. I have worked as a Vet Tech and currently I am in school to become a certified Vet Tech. I am currently in school with mostly online classes so I can seamlessly accommodate your pets care. I will send daily updates and/or photos if requested. I care for your pets from the comfort of your home giving you piece of mind while traveling while your pet will be less stressed.

“Isabella was very attentive to all my concerns and details. She handled my strong / energetic dog with ease and made the process super easy (I’m a first timer here). Looking forward to working with her in the long run!”
