“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.”
“Tony was super friendly, had great communication and was awesome with our girls on their walks. Wrigley and Griffey were stoked when Tony came for their evening walks. My in-laws and my husband and I have nothing but great things to say about him! We will be using him again! Highly recommend!”
“Dana was absolutely great! Sent pictures and detailed notes on how things were going, so we never had to worry while we were away. We have a very shy and nervous dog and Dana did great with her”
“Aichon is absolutely wonderful with our Labrador. He LOVES her. She’s extremely flexible with our schedule and we trust her completely with entry into our home while we’re at work. She’s the best!”
“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!”
“Kate did a great job walking Keena; Keena was always super-excited to see her”
“Sounds like our pup Sage had a great 1st visit with Bri! Bri took the time to come for a meet & greet the day before which was much appreciated, & then she sent great feedback/photos after the visit…we’re looking forward to her next visit & feel that Sage is in great hands :) Thanks Bri!”
“Lisa was wonderful with our timid rescue pup. She took the time to let our girl warm-up to her, and by the end of the week’s walks, she got a tail wag!”
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.
“Launa is a gem. She is patient and understanding with my dog’s quirks ;) She has been reliable and available for repeat walks and I really appreciate that.”
“Donna was awesome. Have two sweet but strong dogs and she took great care of them on their walks. We were staying at a hotel locally and needed our dogs walked mid day. Highly recommend her!”
“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☺️”
“When I needed additional help walking my dog, Isabelle responded nearly immediately and offered great flexibility and availability in scheduling! Upon meeting Isabelle for the first time, my dog was very comfortable and it was obvious Isabelle has a great deal of experience caring for dogs. I feel fortunate Isabelle has been able to assist, and she has done a great job!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for my entire life! I helped to train our two current dogs. I am happy to go for walks, give them baths/other grooming needs, feed on time, and love 'em up!! I speak spanish, so I can communicate effectively with families/pet owners who primarily speak spanish. I am a teacher in Richfield. Animals are really special companions, like members of the family and deserve to be treated as so. Any animal that I have the opportunity to care for will be loved and treated very well. As a teacher, I have a structured daily routine with some flexibility around my working hours, so I can easily stop by for pet care visits in the late afternoon or early evening. On weekends and during school breaks, I have even more availability to spend quality time with your pets. Plus, I don’t work much during the summer, which means I can offer even more attention and flexible scheduling for your furry family members. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine so your pets always feel loved and well cared for! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each pet’s needs. For pets in my client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, keeping up with their daily routines and making sure they have everything they need—fresh water, meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I make sure pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including regular walks, feeding times, and play sessions. I also provide updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and taken care of them individually for 6 years. Whether they're big or small, young or old, I've seen and dealt with it all. I've cared for dogs with prominent allergies on multiple medications that have a strict routine and I've cared for dogs that prefer to go with the flow. Each and every one of them are like family to me and I'll treat them as such. I'm a graduate student who works part time so my schedule isn't too busy. I have a car and easy access to public transit so transportation is hardly an issue. I ask for advance notice so I can be transparent with my schedule! Safety is important to me! I ask to meet with you and your animal(s) once before we set up anything so I can understand your environment, routine, and expectations. This is also so I can meet your animal(s) and make sure that we mesh because their safety and trust is of the uptmost importance in this process!
“Olivia is great with my dog and provides great updates and photos! She has been prompt, flexible, and accommodating of my dog’s needs. Highly recommend!”
“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've had dogs my whole life and adopted my own two years ago. I'm extremely active and I've been taking dogs for runs, hikes, walks, and jogs since grade school. I'm prepared for any situation we might encounter on the trails, and I'm so excited to take your dog on an adventure! I'm available all week! I work odd jobs, so if a time doesn't work, I'll let you know, but I will love to add you to my schedule. I share a large and cozy studio apartment with a mellow and friendly four-year-old Labradoodle named Rufus. It's located in a large apartment complex that boasts a fenced-in play area and is close to plenty of walking trails.
“Joanna was amazing and gave us so many updates on Chi-Chi while we were away. I was so happy she made time to meet us in advance and asked many questions to get to know Chi-Chi better. We came home to a very happy pup! 🐶 🐾 💕 Highly recommend 10/10”
About: I am a passionate dog-dad located in South Minneapolis and love all dogs! I have experience caring for dogs for over 15 years, with all types of dogs from puppies to seniors. My experience comes from watching dogs for military folks on months-long deployments and serving my neighbors of Nokomis for the last 5. I currently have two dogs of my own and have attended many training classes that teach the best, positive methods for promoting a happy, well-behaved pup! I am also experienced in oral medication administration, and health care monitoring for dogs as our resident corgi is epileptic. I am very active and flexible; your dog's needs are my needs. Dogs of any age, breed, and medical needs are welcome. Let me know all of your dogs' quirks and needs. I always do my best to uphold your expectations and take the best care of your furry family members! I work full time Monday through Friday from home. I have classes certain days of the week but they change. Weekends (Saturday and Sunday), I am home all day. I have a fenced in backyard, which is large and provides ample room for dogs of all sizes. I have multiple spare kennels if needed. Additionally, I used gate dividers inside my home to separate dogs if needed from each other. When I work in office, or step out of the house I have cameras to be able to monitor dogs.

Rowan F.
“Rowan watched my doggo several times, and sometimes for over a month, and The Doctor (my Finnish Spitz) was always healthy and happy with him. Rowan came through for me on short notice more than once, and takes the time to play, exercise, and give the doggers the attention they need to be physically and emotionally complete. He sent me pictures often, which were a great comfort while I was far from home. Rowan provides a low stress and comfortable home for our four legged friends and I hope he will be there next time we need a sitter!”

Margaret took care of my pup and left my house clean. Will definitely rebook in the future. Thank you.
Gabi did a great job walking my dog for a few days, she showed up during the times we discussed and provided me with a detailed update and photos during her time with Phila. She asked me good questions when we met and always left the place as expected. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Joanna was a life saver when I needed someone to walk Percy last-minute. Super reliable and Percy loved her!
Margaret was attentive, punctual, and communicative. Above all else, she was fantastic with my two dogs! Highly recommended.
As a first time user of Rover I was pretty nervous! But Alisha is amazing! I look forward to more occasions she’ll be able to take my Will on walks.
Savannah has been lovely to work with. Flexible, professional and our pup can’t wait to see her for their walks! Recommend!
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☺️
Deanna is incredible!! She suggested we do a meet and greet prior to her walk to with my pups because she cares about making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable - and we all absolutely love her! She’s an excellent communicator and sent me pics and videos of their walk while I was at work. I came home to two very happy pups :) 10/10 recommend!
My lab Roxy absolutely loves Maureen! I don’t have to worry about my dog when I’m at work because I know she will be loved and well taken care of. My dog is my literal child and I 100% trust Maureen!
Laura is an excellent dog walker! She took a preliminary walk with us to learn my dog’s habits and routines, and was great at communicating upcoming schedules. My dog was so happy to see her and walk with her each day and I got great updates. I would highly recommend Laura for dog walking or dog sitting.
Molly takes awesome care of my pets and truly cares about them. It's comforting to know they are in such caring hands when I'm not home.
Abby was great in a last-minute pinch when we needed someone to help with Goldie, our 7-year old French bulldog. Appreciate her stellar communication, and how great she was at following directions! Her patience with our silly Goldie was also appreciated. Would highly recommend her if you need help with your fur babies☺️
Olivia has been walking my dog regularly twice a week for the last year. She is super reliable and lets me know in advance if she has a conflict for a specific day or week. She understands my dog and how much he lives for his walks! She shows up rain or shine or when there are subzero temperatures (although we both draw the line at "feels like -20" even though my dog would still be game!) I always appreciate the pictures and notes from each walk and seeing what route they took!
Jennifer is a recurring dog walker for my Brittany. She is great! Has a great personality, and shows she cares about my doggo. She is flexible and reliable. Couldn't ask for anyone or anything better.
We have a Senior dog, and Elise is very sweet and understanding of his needs. He may only be able to walk a slow block, but Elise takes great care of him and we are so grateful! There are times he can’t walk, and Elise will still check up on him and give him attention during the “walk time”. Elise is very sweet and has great communication as well.
