Dog Walking in Midtown Phillips, Minneapolis, MN

About: I've grown up with labs my whole life, training themI’ve been around dogs, especially Labs, pretty much my whole life—training and taking care of them is second nature to me. Because of that, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have a knack for connecting with animals, so they always seem to feel right at home with me. I currently only have a cat, which I feed every 12ish hours, and clean her box every other day. Enrichment toys and activities are fun for her too, but she's a cat, she calls the shots! I am dedicated to creating a comfortable and safe environment for any pet, and make sure to include activities and toys to make sure your pup has the time of their life while you're away.

“Breen is a wonderful, reliable, and trustworthy dog-walker. He has been walking our border terrier, Charlie, regularly for 10+ years. (He was walking two dogs for us but we lost Rocco to cancer in December 2021.) Breen loves dogs and dogs love Breen. It is the highlight of Charlie's day when Breen arrives. I am confident that Charlie is well cared for by Breen. He knows dog body language and behavior and can usually head off any trouble before it happens. Our dynamic duo often gave him a run for his money. We really appreciate Breen's dependable service and highly recommend him to care for your beloved dog.”

“Nyree was amazing, and I’d highly recommend her! She came every morning for a week to let my fur baby out of her kennel, give her breakfast, and take her for a quick morning walk. Leia absolutely looked forward to her mornings with Nyree, and I’m so grateful for the kind, thoughtful care she provided.”

“Aichon was great! She really understands dogs. Our dog was nervous during her first visit and she handled it really well, taking things slowly and building trust with him. He warmed up to her and everything went smoothly the rest of the week! Aichon was also very responsive and great with communication, sending updates and photos every day.”

“Alana has become part of my family!! She takes great care of my 70 pound hair ball. She is extremely communicative and always always goes above and beyond! Rita (my dog) loved her and when I come home from work I can tell she has been well taken care of. It gives me ease of mind knowing Rita is with her while I’m at work. c”

“We were so happy to have Abby walk our dog. She was prompt, took her on a great 2 mile walk (thanks for the pics!), and even fed her dinner and let her outside one last time before she left. We will definitely use her again! 😉 🐾”

About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away

“Regina has been walking my dog three days a week for about a month now and she has been amazing. She’s reliable, responsible, on time and communicative. She’s also been flexible when my schedule has unexpectedly changed. I’ve never had to trust someone else with my dog before so I was a bit nervous hiring a dog walker, but Regina has been a huge help and I’m so glad I found her. I would definitely recommend Regina for your pet care needs.”

“Larissa is absolutely wonderful. Our dog Paco, who tends to be wary around new people, grew to love her immediately, and with good reason. Larissa is so responsible, warm, friendly and kind, and she instinctively "gets" animals. She radiates positive energy and I am SO glad we found her. Five stars across the board!”

About: I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember, somewhere around 3 years old. While I'm just now going pro, I've often been the one friends and family trust to take care of their animals when needed. I've been through almost every scenario with pets, from the amazing to the emergent. Your pets are safe in my care and they'll be glad they met me. I work for myself, so I'm generally really flexible schedule wise. If I schedule a service with you I will be there, guaranteed. I'm punctual and work hard. I have experience walking dogs of all ages and needs, and can supply medication if necessary. While I can't bring any animals into my home, I'll make sure that yours is respected and treat it like my own.

“Thank you Amy for a great first visit with Sage! The details you shared about how the visit went, as well as the multiple photos, were much appreciated :)”

Ellen C.

“Amy was amazing with our AmStaff, Isla! She was patient and understanding of Isla's quirks and worked to make her comfortable and happy during their time together. Amy was prompt with communication and left us detailed notes and lots of photos after each of their walks together. We'd definitely book with her again.”

“I'm so glad that my pup, Cash, and I have Autumn. I was gone for a long time, and it meant a lot that Cash got extra mental stimulation on his walk because of Autumn's extra efforts to do a little training on the walk. She was also above and beyond helpful in tending to some of my particular requests and the logistics of the walk.”

About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.

About: I've had 22 years of experience living with and loving black labs in south Minneapolis. I can accommodate dogs of any age. I love to be outdoors and enjoy walking. My work week is full; however, I am fully available on the weekends to dote on your pup. I am a teacher. From mid-August to mid-June my weeks are full. My weekends are open. I'm available over holidays. I am also available throughout the summer. I have a small home with a fenced-in yard and a park within blocks. For the past twelve years, I had a dog, and we walked every day. I greatly miss my companion and would love to shower your dog with lots of love and care.

“Summer was timely, kind and responsible with our dog Piper’s walk! She sent picture updates and Piper was very happy and relaxed when we came home. We’ve already asked her to come back again!”

I’m available for house-sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care most days. I love animals, and have a lot of experience caring for them, so I’ll make sure to care of your fur baby like they’re my own.
