Dog Walking Minnehaha

“Sterling takes amazing care of my hyper handul of a belgian malinois/husky mix, Fergie always seems happy and well taken care of when i come home on the weekends, she goes above and beyond walking my pup farther and longer than the minimum of 30 mimutes and i greatly appreciate that, thank you!”

“Friendly, professional, communicative, and prompt! My pup was happy and I enjoyed the report cards. Will definitely be booking with Julia next time I work late”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors and families pets since I was young and love animals of all kinds! I’m never opposed to a job, whether it be a play date, walk or pet sitting! I can even shuttle your pup to and from vet or grooming appointments if need be! I currently work full time, but I work from home Fridays and am available all day Saturdays and Sundays! I have my own pup who loves playing with others, and is always happy to make a new friend! I’m very attentive to any needs your pet may have and will follow any instructions to a T! If you have any concerns I’m more than happy to reassure :)

About: I’ve had my dog Toby at home since I was 9. He is now a 14 yr old Maltese (yes that is very old for a Maltese) so I would like to say I take great care of him. Now that I’m in college away from him, I miss my dog interactions! At home during summers I also take care of my neighbors dogs and dog walk! I am currently a nursing student at Gonzaga so I mainly have classes in the morning until noon and then am free the rest of my day if I’m not studying for exams or hanging out with friends! I specialize in highly energetic dogs and the chill sleepy ones. I’m happy to follow your dogs healthcare plans (if they need any medications). I can follow their everyday routine, I love going on walks so I’m happy to do so before meals. I will surely give your dog plenty of attention and I also have a car so I’m always available to take them to their favorite park!

“Amanda was very patient with my pups and took time to understand them. She asked good questions and gave updates to put my mind at ease! My pups looked happy and healthy when I got home. Definitely recommended for all your pet watching needs!”

About: Taking care of your pups and cats is AS important as taking care of my own self. I’ve worked at a doggy day care, so I know all the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do with canines. I am calm, patient, kind, caring, and gentle. Our furry friends are our babies, they deserve every bit of love and light possible. I work an early full time M-F job, so I am unable to do morning drop-ins. I do offer afternoon and evening drop-ins, as well as housesitting (if I am not away from housesitting) as long as your pup is okay being alone for 8-9 hours! Attention and details are some of the most important traits to have while caring for pets. I will carry a loop(s) with me when necessary, so I can easily get ahold of your pup if they become too energetic under certain circumstances. If you need me to take care of something specific that your pup does, I can handle it.

About: I’ve taken care of animals, specifically dogs and cats since I was younger. I own a cat but have really loved and trained my own dogs in the past. Can spoil and can also train if wanted. I do work at a retirement home as a home care aide so my hours can somewhat vary but if I can make it work I will 100%. If my partner could be a “testimonial” he’d say I geek out and have to pet every dog (if the owner looks tolerant of that of course haha) that we pass by. Let me know exactly how you want your lul baby taken care of or any quirks I should be aware of ;) and I will make sure to follow whatever guidelines/instructions are set :). I’m currently working part time and I love animals. I have a spicy sweetheart black cat who is spoiled but still has his rules, not that he likes to listen to em ;) haha. I need notice for overnight sitting and such just so I can arrange my other schedule around it :). When overnight sitting I can do extra services like dog walking, play time, potty breaks, cuddles, and treats if allowed ;). I’m good w crate training as well for the dogs that need their safe space and will also let them cuddle with me if it’s an overnight and they’re the clingy type :). Genuinely just love dogs and cats, especially dogs though, too pure for this world <3

“Professional, kind, and communicative. My dog immediately took to her even though she can be a little anxious with most people. I think Natalie has the “I love dogs “pheromone”

“Leah is absolutely amazing! She is such a sweetheart and loves animals. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She is able to recognize and cater to his every need. Definitely will continue to book with her!”

“Teagan did a great job! On her first walk my little escape artist dug a hole under the fence and Teagan found her at the neighbors. She volunteered to come back later that afternoon and secure the fence. Definitely went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13. My grandma had 25 dogs, and I helped take care of them throughout their lives. I have looked after friend or family member’s dogs…. enjoy dog walking, hikes, training, or playing with them. I deliver packages part time, so I create my own schedule. Creating a structured framework around the pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, playtime, and rest, is crucial for their mental and physical well-being. Additionally, pet care encompasses tasks such as cleaning, grooming, and ensuring a safe environment. I think consistency is crucial for pets. Collaborate with your client to comprehend their pet’s daily routine, encompassing feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication administration, and any specific needs. Adhering to a consistent daily routine will contribute to the pet’s comfort and overall well-being.

“Melisa was kind and professional! My dog is often timid and had refused to go out for a walk when I am gone before but Melissa handled it like a champ, was patient and kind, and was able to coax him out of the house. Thank you Melissa!”

“Andrea was truly the best person we could have hoped for to care for Cooper and Luca while we were on vacation. We had originally planned for daily visits, feedings, walks, and playtime, but after the first night, she could tell they were having a hard time settling in and kindly offered to stay with them for the rest of the week. That meant so much to us. Andrea took the time to understand what each of them needed and helped calm their nerves with patience, attention, and so much love. She kept them fed, walked, entertained, and cared for, and made sure they had the comfort and company they needed while we were away. Knowing they were in such thoughtful hands gave us real peace of mind on our trip. She was also incredibly considerate of our home. She washed the bedding she used, did the dishes, and left everything so clean and tidy. We’re grateful for all the care she gave both our dogs and our home. We would happily recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable sitter!”

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want to make that easier. I’m a caring and responsible pet owner myself, and I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets while they’ve been away on trips. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure your pets get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break, so I have full availability and flexible scheduling for pet sitting. Once I return to school, my availability will adjust, but I’m still able to plan around pet care and communicate my schedule clearly in advance. In my own home, I prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment for pets. I live in a safe neighborhood and have a large fenced backyard where dogs can play and get exercise. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and feel comfortable in their space. I also respect each pet’s routine and needs, and I aim to keep their environment as stress free as possible whether they’re in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home.

“Carla was wonderful! Communicative, on time and Bubby had a wonderful walk with her. Will definitely book again.”

“Aliyah was super sweet! She did a long walk with my pup and was great with communication every step of the way. I received lots of pictures of Lucy having a great time. I will definitely reach out for another dog walk in the future!”

Tati F.

“Ella was great! She was able to come in last minute and do exactly what I requested. She’s very communicative and helpful. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.
