Dog Walking In Marcy Holmes

About: I've lived with animals my entire life and have been taking care of my own since I was about 7 years old. I've had a few dogs in my family: a chihuahua, shar pei, golden retriever, pomeranian, dachshund, and a chow chow; with experience from puppies to seniors. Cats have also been a constant throughout my whole life, from kittens to seniors as well. There hasn't been a moment I haven't had at least one cat in my home. I've had a few other kinds of smaller critters too: guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and lizards. I'm well versed in pet body language and reading what they desire or need, and have lots of love to give your baby(ies)! They deserve the world. I absolutely adore all animals and spending time with them is my favorite activity. Rover is my full-time job, so I can spend as much time as needed with your fur baby and make frequent check-ins or walks if desired! If your companion(s) is friendly to strangers, I will be sure to give them plenty of attention, play time, petting, and walks (if applicable) in addition to basic care and any other requests. If they're not comfortable with new people, I will respect their space and boundaries based on what they're telling me so they feel relaxed and safe. Every animal is different and I adapt to their personality and pace.

“Amy is fantastic! She definitely knows dogs and is comfortable, capable, and trustworthy. She has been walking our Pearl for a few weeks now and it has worked out great. Pearl needs a lot of exercise and Amy takes her out on long walks with her dog, Luna, and they have lots of adventures, like seeing ducks, smelling good spring smells, and playing together. I feel so much better during the day knowing that Pearl will get a long walk and some social time!”

“Jessica did a wonderful job walking our high energy dog, Isabella! She was available for a meet and greet beforehand, has been great to communicate with, and our dog was very happy after the walk. We look forward to having Jessica walk Isa again!”

Cristina C.

“Lauren is such a wonderful person! Very personable, great communication, and she took such great care of my dog Skylar. They went for an hour-long walk around my neighborhood. Skylar looked so happy and was perfectly tired from the exercise. Highly recommend Lauren and will definitely book again!”

“Michelle is great! Communicative, reliable, and kind. Happy to have her as our dog walker and would recommend her to others looking for the same!”

“Jenna does a wonderful job with my greyhound Roo! She is attentive to her needs and reports concerns whenever she has them. She even has Roo trying to take me on her longer walking routes! I'm thrilled to have her support in caring for my sweet pup.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always been involved in their care. In addition, I’ve had extensive experience training and fostering future service dogs from as young as 8 weeks old through 2 years old. Through this, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and ages. I understand how important consistency and routine can be for dogs, so I’d love to learn about your dog’s specific schedule, habits, and needs to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away. I am currently working remotely from home Monday thru Friday 7:30 am to 4 pm. I have take a break for lunch around 12 pm. So, I will be available to stop by over lunch or in the afternoons. As well as, I will be available on select weekends. I am willing to follow you and your dogs routine while in your house during feeding and playtime. Safety is one of my priorities while watching your furry friend. I will treat the experience as I would want my own for to be treated.

“Marissa was great walking our energetic beagle!!”

About: Local resident of NE Minneapolis and owner of a 4 yr old Husky, I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I provide daycare for your beloved furry friends at my house while I work remotely. My home has a fenced in backyard with a kiddy pool for them to run around in, a walking trail down the street, and a dog park nearby! I provide daily walks to the local park or trips to the dog park so they are well exercised and socialized while you are away. There is amble space for the dogs to play in the house (no crates are provided) with toys to plays with and treats! For overnight stays, you will get daily updates on how your dog is doing with photos. I work from home so I can let your pups outside into the backyard for potty breaks often, take them for a daily walk, and offer engaging treats/toys while I work. I’m done by 3pm most days so trips to the dog park are very common! Reliability, trust, and a calm environment are at the center of what I do. Your dog will be welcomed into a clean, secure, and loving home where they’ll be treated like family. I prioritize consistent communication with owners, close supervision, and plenty of affection so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free space where your pup feels comfortable, happy, and cared for.

About: I have grown up with all sorts of dogs of all sizes. I have taken part in both training and caring for our family dogs, and there has not been a dog that I do not immediately love. Being with dogs is always entertaining and extremely rewarding. I am not currently working, and I have a lot of free time during my summer before my junior year of college. I am available at any time of day, and my schedule is very flexible until I start working in June. I am responsible for walking, feeding, and caring for our three dogs when my parents are working. It’s very common for me to spend time with my dogs in my down time such as playing with and accompanying them.

“Madisen has been so wonderful with my dogs! I trust her completely to take great care of them. She keeps me updated and sends lots of adorable photos too. I’d recommend her to anyone!”

About: Worked with PAWS at the University Of Minnesota which helps people meet animals safely. It helped me educate more people about how pets support mental health and wellbeing. To be completely honest i haven’t owned a dog myself, my experience consists of sitting, walking, and hosting dogs. I’m currently taking summer classes but when im not in school i’m usually pretty free. I walk everyday in the morning so i usually like to have a buddy to accompany me! I prefer to adjust to the owner’s style rather than doing my own way. I’ve learned that cats and dogs especially can get pretty uncomfortable with sudden changes to their routines and schedules. So expect a full interrogation before i take your pet!

“i’ve been using emerson consistently multiple times a week for almost a year now- he is flexible, communicative and extremely reliable. he does a great job with my large doodle and even was able to manage my two large dogs when i had them both. will continue using emerson and highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I'm Brinn and I'm a Minnesota transplant, here from Michigan. I've grown up with dogs, cats, and other small animas my entire life. I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work full-time M-F but have a flexible schedule, especially on Mondays, Fridays, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or sitting during these times, and I’m often able to adjust my availability as needed. Please feel free to reach out for my exact hours — I’m flexible with both time and location and always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. When caring for pets in your home, I’m always respectful of your space and follow your care instructions closely. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel comfortable and at ease. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and keep a close eye on your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I recently graduated from grad school and am currently substitute teaching so I have lot of extra time during the week. I have 2 cats of my own and have experience with puppies and small dogs! I’m quite flexible with my time and am also a homebody so your pet will get a lot of attention. I will accommodate your feeding schedule as best as I can.

About: Hi! my name Juliana. As an experienced pet caretaker, I have the knowledge and skills that make me the perfect choice for taking care of your pet! I have taken care of both family and friend’s pets ( cats and dogs) and I understand the importance of providing attentive and loving care to make sure they are comfortable and happy. As a Dachshund owner myself, I know how important it is to follow routines and keep in mind specific needs. You can trust that I will provide your furry friend/child with the same level of care and attention that I give my own. Currently my schedule is limited because I don’t work from home, except for Fridays. Therefore, I’m available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for walks and drop ins. I can easy walk your dog and provide the exercise they need around the North Loop / Downtown Minneapolis area. For cat owners, I can provide visits to make sure food and litter are taken care of. Additionally, I volunteer at Minneapolis Animal Care & Control with both cats and dogs, which has helped me to understand behaviors and how to manage difficult situations.

About: Originally from central Wisconsin, I have grown up and take care of animals my entire life. From minature yorkies to rottweilers (and even ferrets), I have owned and cared for animals of all sizes and energy levels. Since moving to Minneapolis for college, I’ve really missed having dogs and pets in my life. Being around animals is therapeutic for me and can completely turn around a bad day. Honestly, I’m not doing this just for extra cash — I miss being around pets and love spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I can't wait to meet your furry friends - thank you for your trust! I’m a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I also work remotely, which allows me to be responsive, and flexible when it comes to finding times that work best for you and your pet’s needs. I have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for pets of all sizes to play and enjoy being outside. I also live in a spacious home, so your pets will have lots of room to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home.

“Kate is seriously the best! My dog loves going on long walks with Kate and getting a bunch of attention. I can tell Kate really cares about the pets she helps out with.”
