Dog Walking In McKinley

About: Hi there! My name is Lauren and I love all fur babies big and small! I have been an animal lover all my life and enjoy spending time with them as much as I can. Ever since I was a young teen, I have been an avid dog walker in my neighborhood, trying to make some extra cash but also getting to spend time with dogs as I did not have my own. Since then, I have been cat sitting for the last 5 years for my family and friends when they go out of town. In most recent years, I have been dog sitting for my coworkers on the weekends. Many of my coworkers have dogs and bring them to our pet friendly office. I have become quite popular with the dogs at the office as I love to take them out and play fetch in the grass space outside. I work Monday - Thursday until 4:30 pm but I am home by 5 pm. Fridays, I am available after 12 pm. I also have open availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats of my own who enjoy their own company, but I am very happy to pet sit in your own home if you are comfortable! I will guarantee that your pet is safe when outdoors whether that be on a leash or within the safety of a fenced yard.

“Great introduction to McKenna! Trooper loved her!”

About: I bring a calm energy and genuine love for each and every dog especially when I have a very hyper/social pug at home. I’m very patient, which helps especially shy or anxious ones—feel relaxed and secure. I focus on routines, attentive to behavior, and keeping your pets comfortable. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to providing loving, consistent care that pet owners can trust. Since moving to Minneapolis and currently having some free time. I have availability to dedicate time to pet care and sitting any day after 11am For clients home I provide consistent, attentive pet sitting by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, daily walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship to keep pets calm and comfortable in their own environment. I also administer medication if needed, monitor behavior for any changes, and ensure water bowls are always fresh and full. I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets and respecting your space. Regular updates with photos and messages help keep owners reassured while they’re away.

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.

“Teresa and our pup had such lovely times together! We are so grateful for Teresa’s communication, reliability, as well as patience with our young, high-energy pup. It can be hard for us to leave our dogs, however we could trust Teresa, knowing she brings safety & care. We’d totally book her again if she’d have us! Thanks again, Teresa!”

About: I have 23 years of pet ownership experience (cats, reptiles, and a simple fish tank). I also have a bit of volunteer experience training service dogs and have taken care of friends' pets while they're away. I work my other job from home and determine my own hours, so my schedule is generally very flexible. I have a weekday evening commitment a couple times a week, but I can easily work around that two hour block of time. I love animals and will do everything I can to take care of yours as if they're my own. Let's discuss medical needs before booking, and I will make sure I have your vet's information in case of emergencies. I require a meet & greet for first time bookings. This is a complimentary visit to meet your animals, learn the routines, and ask each other any questions we need to make sure they get the best care.

“It had been great working with Lauren! She does a great job keeping me updated on Milo during their walks. Would work with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on experience with daily routine routines like feeding, walking, and providing lots of attention and care. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on a consistent routine. I’m responsible, active, and reliable, great for keeping dogs engaged and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being! I work from home, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I am very consistent with routines and make sure pets are never left alone for too long. I will provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment where your dog will feel at home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and specific instructions closely. Having grown up with dogs, I’m comfortable with their needs and behavior. Your pet will receive lots of attention, supervision and care!

“Very accommodating with our Bentley! My front desk workers at my apartment love her, as does Bentley!”

About: My family and friends rely on me to help out with their pets. I enjoy providing engagement activities for pets, which keeps their bodies and brains active. I provide a lot of attention to pets, with a lot of detail to food and their needs for going outside. With every pet I care for, I ensure that their needs are being met, and that they are happy. I work remotely part-time, so I am able to drop in when needed on weekdays (except Wednesdays and Thursdays). I also have evening and weekend availability as well. In my own home, I have a fenced yard. I also partition parts of my house as well. I leash dogs any time I need to take them out for a potty break. I also make sure that foods are out of reach, because I understand pets have different food sensitivities. When pets are playing with toys, I make sure to monitor them so they do not accidentally swallow anything.

About: I’ve taken care of many different pets my whole life, I grew up with many different pets in my family. I currently have a well trained pet of my own, my friends and family come to me when they are in need of a sitter. I’m currently a part time college student, so I only go to class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with my remaining time out of school, I have plenty of time to play and hangout with pets! I do not have a fully fenced yard but I do have a gated area on the side of my house. The gated area is big enough for dogs to run and play! I also have a small dog of my own to keep other dogs entertained!

“Felicia helped me give my pup two walk/break times when I had an exceptionally long 18 hour day. She was super communicative and made me feel good that my dog was well taken care of. When I got home, I found him very relaxed and that says to me he was comfortable with her and they had a good amount of exercise and fun together. Thanks Felicia!”
