1. Maddy N.
“Maddy has just started walking my large 110 pound German Shepard for me, and she has been great! She’s been very reliable and flexible with her hours. She always sends updates and pictures. I recently adopted Duke and still getting to know him. She had no hesitations with taking him for walks, and has been very patient with his current less then stellar leash walking skills.”

12. Kayla F.
“My wife and I have had Kayla watch our dogs several times over the past four years, and know others whose dogs she has watched on multiple occasions. We couldn’t be happier and thankful for how she treats our dogs and know that they are always in good hands when we need to leave. For anyone needing help, you can without question count on Kayla.”
13. Kristina C.
“My family's favorite pet sitter! Kristina is great with our pets; she loves and cares for them as if they were her own. We have two large dogs that are big and strong, but she handles them so well! Plus, her communication is top notch - never misses a call or text which really puts me at ease. There's no one I trust more than Kristina!”
14. Regina M.
“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.”
15. Paul C.
“Excellent care.”
16. Haley L.
About: I live in northeast Minneapolis. I’ve taken care of many family friends dogs throughout my life for the past 10 years, but got one of my own 5 years ago. She’s a golden doodle that is 5 1/2 years old, and her name is Layla. I love taking care of dogs of all ages and breeds. I’m currently working part time, so I have availability during some week days and weekends. My schedule is flexible to have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby. I would prefer to walk/ watch your dog from the client’s home. I live in an apartment with my dog Layla, so I don’t have much space at my place.
17. Isabella D.
“Bella has an ease with animals that make them, and us, comfortable and glad she’s there! She has taken care of our two dogs repeatedly and we couldn’t be happier. She’s pays special attention to our notes about each dog and ensures each gets what is best for them. She has managed medicines, limited mobility for one dog, and special feeding requirements. It is so nice to know that our four-legged family members are well taken care of when we’re gone. Highly recommend Bella”
18. jessica k.
“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!”
19. Sara N.
About: Hello! My name is Sara and I am a healthcare professional in the Twin Cities. Although I love what I do, my true passion is animals! Ever since I was young, l've always gravitated towards animals and had dreams of working with them. Life took me towards another path, but I still have a deep profoundness towards dogs, cats, etc. I have been fostering and volunteering through a local animal rescue since 2021 and am proud to have fostered and adopted out 29 dogs and cats.... and counting! Animals bring me so much joy and adopting my dog last year was one of the best days of my life. Unfortunately, my hospice cat, Sassy, passed away last November after a lengthy battle with kidney disease. I will forever miss her and am grateful to have learned so much in regards to pet ownership through her and my dog, Hank. I am experienced in caring for senior animals, young puppies and kittens, bottle feeding, administering medications, behavior training, and so much more. I’m currently working from home full-time, so I will have plenty of time to cater towards and love on your pet! I am always available to take your dog on as many walks as needed and am home most of the time, so they will rarely ever be alone. I am very flexible with how you would like me to care for your furry friend while you are away. I like to treat all animals that come to my home as if they were my own, but I will always respect your requests as well. I will crate, if necessary, but do allow pets to roam around and be on furniture. I frequently foster other animals and dog sit for friends and family, so your pet would have some company if they enjoy being around other animals! Please let me know if your pet requires specialized care such as medication, training, behavioral support, etc. I have plenty of experience working with medication administration and reactivity in dogs.

“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my puppy! I had a last minute situation and she swooped in and helped so much! She followed every specific detail perfectly and was so quick to communicate and love on my fur baby! You won’t regret booking her for any of your needs!”
