Dog Walkers in Mendota, MN

About: My love for dogs started early—I grew up helping out at a dog boarding facility, and it didn’t take long before I knew working with animals was my passion. I’ve always prioritized the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of the dogs in my care. I currently have a major is Psychology with a minor in Animal Science and in college had the opportunity to train and work with dogs from the shelter. An experience that deepened my commitment to working with dogs. I have also been an accredited dog trainer for over a year now and have two of my own dogs that I train with every day. They may not always act like they are trained, but I promise they are! I spend a lot of my free time educating myself on current training methods and stay up to date on dog welfare, nutrition and health. I aim to get a Masters in Animal Behavior and help as many pet parents and pups as I can. I can’t wait to meet both you and your pup and join in on your journey! I work from home most days and have training sessions for a couple hours on weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons. I am never gone for long and have a very flexible schedule as I make my own hours. I have lots of experience around dog care, nutrition, enrichment and safety. I will always make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their home and prioritize their health and wellbeing.

“Tony takes such good care of my girl when I’m working long days. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s getting loved on and lots of playtime, and she recognizes Tony’s name with a pitty smile and thumping tail.”

“Xinia has been a blessing in my life! Bingo is so lucky to have an amazing walker that goes out of her way to ensure my bingo is well taken care of and most importantly she makes sure my bingo is loved! Xinia has been very patient with my bingo as it takes her time to trust new people, but Xinia has done and outstanding job being patient & caring towards her. I would recommend her to anybody that’s looking for a a sitter, or a walker! 12/10 from me!”

About: Your pet’s happiness is my main priority. I have experience with big dogs and small dogs. I've grown up with Mastiffs and Great Danes. I have always been an animal lover of all kinds. I have had dogs all my life! I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I am married so when I’m away taking care of your pets my husband is home taking care of ours. I used to use Rover briefly years ago to help care for pets as a fun side job but working another full time made my availability difficult to work with consistently. I recently decided to start being active on Rover again now that I have more availability because working with animals is something that truly makes me happy and I’m passionate about. Daily walking (if requested) and playtime are included with house sitting. I can make adjustments to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I want to do whatever I can to be their advocate out in the world. My pets are my babies and I will treat your pets the same. I enjoy training animals and encourage proper leash & obedience training. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! 🥰🐾 I’m currently working part time as a personal trainer so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m currently very flexible for pet care. I treat your pets like my own! I make sure they are always well taken care of and happy! We play as much as they want and will go on plenty of walks if requested. Can’t forget about the endless supply of pets and cuddles as they please! I also can understand and respect a pet that appreciates their space and has healthy boundaries.

“Madeline is great! She's very attentive, a great communicator, and truly cares for our pup. It's especially appreciated how caring she was for our dog Goldie as she recovered from her spay surgery. Would highly recommend☺️”

“Lydia is fantastic - she does a professional job with my pup who isn’t the easiest on the leash, and communication is always easy and timely. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: My husband Marshall and I love to take care of pups together! Marshall grew up with dogs at home, and I cared for dogs all through college and used to volunteer at the Humane Society. As soon as we moved to the Twin Cities, we got our first dog, Mudflap. I am a teacher and have summers and evenings off, and Marshall is a music therapist with his mornings free, giving both of us plenty of time to look after dogs at home and take them for lots of walks and runs. We also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special medical needs. We love all breeds and sizes, and we have a soft spot for rescue dogs (our pup Mudflap is a rescue from Mississippi). We are very patient and attentive, and have experience with light grooming (baths, teeth-brushing) as well as administering medications. Whether your dog wants to run, play, or cuddle, We’ll be there to take care of them! I work as a teacher and Marshall works part-time as a music therapist. Marshall is home in the mornings until about 1pm, and I get home from school around 3:30pm. We are both off on weekends, and during the summers we are both home full-time. We have a large, fenced-in yard and a friendly, small dog to keep your pup company. Our dog does not use a crate but we can easily crate your dog if needed. We love having dogs on the furniture and letting them sleep on our bed, and we live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and safe streets for walks.

“I have a 1 year old German Shepard, who is pretty friendly for the most part but still has a lot of puppy in him. Full of energy and selective hearing =) Donna has been great for my boy and provides great updates on the walks she has taken him out on. I am very pleased with Donna. I will continue to use her as often as possible.”

“Natalie is amazing! My pup Skye has so much fun with her and really enjoys going on walks, playing fetch, and just hanging out with her. Natalie is a fantastic communicator and let's me know all the fun things they do on their walks together. She is very thorough and awesome!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've had my own cats for over a decade. I got my own dog 2 years ago. I'm working from home on Mondays and in the office on Tuesday and Wednesday. I can come home over lunch if boarding during the week. I have a fenced in yard and a great neighborhood for taking walks. I can provide a separate room for pets, as well as a crate, if needed.
